Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Broadcom Inc. and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 30, 2027 Term Sheet to Preliminary Pricing Supplement No. ARC 3979 dated September 16, 2024 |
| Summary of Terms | Hypothetical Payout Profile (maturity payment amount) | ||
| Issuer : | Bank of Montreal |
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending price is less than its downside threshold price, you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at stated maturity. Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Underlying Stock if its ending price is less than its downside threshold price.
On the date of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the estimated initial value of the securities is $964.20 per security. The estimated initial value of the securities on the pricing date may differ from this value but will not be less than $914.00 per security. However, as discussed in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the actual value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
