MicroSectors? FANG+? ETNFNGSbySHARESCall Us (305) 742-0153Email Us info@rexshares.comVisit Us www.microsectors.comBank of Montreal, the issuer of the ETNs ("Bank of Montreal" or the "Issuer"), has filed a registration statement (including a pricing supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") about the offering to which this document relates. Please read those documents and the other documents relating to this offering that Bank of Montreal has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Bank of Montreal and this offering. These documents may be obtained without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Bank of Montreal, any agent or any dealer participating in this offering will arrange to send the pricing supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus if so requested by calling toll-free at 1-877-369-5412.The ETNs are senior, unsecured debt obligations of Bank of Montreal and are subject to Bank of Montreal's credit risk.Investment suitability must be determined individually for each investor, and the ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. This information is not intended to provide and should not be relied upon as providing accounting, legal, regulatory or tax advice as to the ETNs or the NYSE FANG+? Index (the "Index"). Investors should consult with their own financial advisors as to these matters.The ETNs do not guarantee the return of your investment. If the Closing Indicative Note Value or the Intraday Indicative Value for the ETNs is equal to or less than $0 at any time during an Exchange Business Day (each as defined in the pricing supplement), you will lose all of your investment in the ETNs. Even if the Index Closing Level has increased or decreased, as applicable, from the Initial Index Level, you may receive less than the principal amount of your ETNs upon a call, redemption, at maturity, or if you sell your ETNs, as described more in the pricing supplement. The ETNs are subject to a call right, which may adversely affect the value of, or your ability to sell, your ETNs. The ETNs do not pay any interest, and you will not have any ownership rights in the Index constituents. The Index Closing Level used to calculate any payment on the ETNs may be different from the Index Closing Level at other times during the term of the ETNs. There are restrictions on your ability to request a redemption of the ETNs, and you will not know the amount due upon redemption at the time you elect to request that the ETNs be redeemed. The Issuer may sell additional ETNs, but is under no obligation to do so.Market disruptions may adversely affect your return. Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the ETNs are uncertain.The Intraday Indicative Value and the Indicative Note Value are not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. There is no assurance that your ETNs will be listed or continue to be listed on a securities exchange, and they may not have an active trading market. The value of the ETNs in the secondary market may be influenced by many unpredictable factors.The Issuer or its affiliates may have economic interests that are adverse to those of the holders of the ETNs as a result of its business, hedging and trading activities, or as Calculation Agent of the ETNs, and may have published research, expressed opinions or provided recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the ETNs, and may do so in the future.The Index has limited actual historical information. The Index Calculation Agent (as defined in the pricing supplement) may adjust the Index in a way that may affect its level, and may, in its sole discretion, discontinue the public disclosure of the intraday Index value and the end-of-day closing value of the Index. The Index lacks diversification and is vulnerable to fluctuations in the technology and consumer discretionary industries. A limited number of Index constituents may affect the Index Closing Level, and the Index is not necessarily representative of these industries. The Index uses a proprietary selection methodology, which may not select the constituent issuers in the same manner as would other index providers or market participants.Please see the "Risk Factors" section in the pricing supplement.
