Financial Impact
Routine $1B capital raise with $990M net proceeds; no material impact on BMO's $1T+ balance sheet
Risk Factors
- Trigger Event (OSFI non-viability determination) could force conversion of notes into common shares, diluting equity holders
- Limited recourse feature means noteholders' sole remedy is the trust assets (Preferred Shares or common shares), not cash claims against BMO
- Interest rate resets after 2036 tied to U.S. Treasury rates, creating refinancing risk
