IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION An investment in the BMO Elkhorn DWA MLP Select™ Index Exchange Traded Notes described herein (the “ETNs”) involves risks. Selected risks are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described under “Risk Factors” in the Bank of Montreal prospectus dated June 27, 2014, prospectus supplement dated June 27, 2014 and pricing supplement dated December 19, 2016.  Uncertain Principal Repayment—You may receive less than the principal amount of your ETNs at maturity, call or upon redemption.  If the level of the Index decreases, or does not increase, by an amount equal to the percentage of the principal amount represented by the Accrued Tracking Fee and the Redemption Fee, if applicable, you will receive less, and possibly significantly less, than your original investment in the ETNs. Credit Risk of Bank of Montreal—The ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, Bank of Montreal, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of or guaranteed by any third party.  Any payments you are entitled to receive on your ETNs, including any payment at maturity, call or redemption, are subject to the issuer’s ability to pay its obligations as they come due.  As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Bank of Montreal will affect the market value, if any, of the ETNs prior to maturity, call or redemption.  In addition, in the event that Bank of Montreal were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the ETNs. No Fixed Interest Payments—You will not receive any fixed periodic interest payments on the ETNs, and your quarterly Coupon Payments are uncertain and could be zero. A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Continue Over the Term of the ETNs—The ETNs are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “BMLP”.  However, a trading market for your ETNs may not continue for the term of the ETNs.  We are not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs on Nasdaq or any other exchange or quotation system. The intraday indicative value and the closing indicative value are not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market—The closing indicative value will be published on each Index Business Day under the Bloomberg ticker symbol BMLPIV <Index>.  The intraday indicative value of the ETNs is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index and will be calculated and published every 15 seconds on each Index Business Day during normal trading hours under the Bloomberg ticker symbol  BMLPIV <Index> and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape, or other major market vendor.  The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which you may be able to sell your ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists.  The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their intraday indicative value at such time. Paying a premium purchase price over the intraday indicative value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event one sells the ETNs at a time when that premium is no longer present in the market place or the ETNs are called—Paying a premium purchase price over the intraday indicative value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event one sells the ETNs at a time when such premium is no longer present in the market place or the notes are called, in which case investors will receive a cash payment in an amount based on the index closing levels of the notes during the call measurement period. The Index has a limited performance history—The DWA MLP Select™ Index was launched on May 1, 2015, and therefore has no performance history prior to that date.  Consequently, little or no historical information will be available for you to consider in making an independent investigation of the DWA MLP Select™ Index’s performance, which may make it difficult for you to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the ETNs. Call Feature—Your ETNs may be repurchased on or after June 22, 2017 at the issuer’s option and without your consent. In the event that we call the ETNs, the call settlement amount may be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the ETNs or the price at which you purchased your ETNs. Restrictions on Repurchases by Bank of Montreal— You must offer the applicable minimum redemption amount of 50,000 ETNs to the issuer for your offer for redemption to be considered. Tax Treatment—Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the ETNs are uncertain and may be less favorable than a direct investment in MLPs. You should consult with your own tax advisor about your own tax situation. Bank of Montreal, and its affiliates, and Elkhorn Investments do not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed as tax advice.  Please be advised that any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained herein (including any attachments):  (i) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by you for the purpose of avoiding U.S. tax-related penalties, and (ii) was written to support the promotion of marketing of the transactions or other matters addressed herein.  Accordingly, you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from your independent tax advisor.
