SPECIFIC TERMS OF THE NOTES


The Notes are part of a series of our senior debt securities called Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series E, and therefore, this pricing
supplement (the "pricing supplement"), should be read together with the accompanying prospectus supplement, dated September 23, 2018 and the
accompanying prospectus, dated April 27, 2017. Terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement have the meanings given them in the
accompanying prospectus or accompanying prospectus supplement, unless the context requires otherwise.

In this section, references to "holders" mean those who own the Notes registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee
maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in the Notes registered in street name or in the Notes issued in book-entry
form through The Depository Trust Company or another depositary. Owners of beneficial interests in the Notes should read the section entitled
"Description of the Notes We May Offer -- Legal Ownership" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities
We May Offer -- Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus.

The Notes are part of a series of senior debt securities entitled "Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series E" (the "medium-term notes") that
we may issue from time to time under the senior indenture, dated January 25, 2010, as amended and supplemented to date, between Bank of
Montreal and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. This pricing supplement summarizes specific financial and other terms that apply
to the Notes. Terms that apply generally to our medium-term notes are described in "Description of the Notes We May Offer" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement. The terms described herein supplement those described in the accompanying prospectus and the accompanying prospectus
supplement, and, if the terms described here are inconsistent with those described in those documents, the terms described herein are controlling.

The Notes are bail-inable notes (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) and subject to conversion in whole or in part ­
by means of a transaction or series of transactions and in one or more steps ­ into common shares of Bank of Montreal or any of its affiliates under
subsection 39.2(2.3) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the "CDIC Act") and to variation or extinguishment in consequence, and
subject to the application of the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein in respect of the operation of the
CDIC Act with respect to the Notes.

Please note that the information about the price to the public and the net proceeds to Bank of Montreal on the front cover of this pricing
supplement relates only to the initial sale of the Notes. If you have purchased the Notes in a market-making transaction after the initial sale,
information about the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.

We describe particular terms of the Notes in more detail below.

Interest

The Notes will bear interest at the rates set forth on the cover page.

Interest will be paid on the Interest Payment Dates set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Interest payments will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest will be payable to holders of record on the 3rd business day
before each Interest Payment Date. Interest will accrue from and including each Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment
Date. In the event that an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity falls on a day other than a business day, principal and/or
interest will be paid on the next succeeding business day and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such next succeeding business day.


P-2



Optional Redemption Feature

We may, at our option, elect to redeem the Notes in whole or in part semi-annually on each Redemption Date (as defined above), at
100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date on which the Notes are redeemed. In the event we elect
to redeem the Notes, notice will be given to registered holders not more than 30 nor less than five business days prior to the Redemption Date.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/927971/000121465920000754/j130201424b2.htm[1/31/2020 4:08:32 PM]



Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Canadian Bail-in Powers

By its acquisition of an interest in any Note, each holder or beneficial owner of that Note is deemed to (i) agree to be bound, in respect of
that Note, by the CDIC Act, including the conversion of that Note, in whole or in part ­ by means of a transaction or series of transactions and in
one or more steps ­ into common shares of Bank of Montreal or any of its affiliates under subsection 39.2(2.3) of the CDIC Act and the variation or
extinguishment of that Note in consequence, and by the application of the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable
therein in respect of the operation of the CDIC Act with respect to that Note; (ii) attorn and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in the Province
of Ontario with respect to the CDIC Act and those laws; and (iii) acknowledge and agree that the terms referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii), above,
are binding on that holder or beneficial owner despite any provisions in the indenture or that Note, any other law that governs that Note and any
other agreement, arrangement or understanding between that holder or beneficial owner and Bank of Montreal with respect to that Note.

Holders and beneficial owners of any Note will have no further rights in respect of that Note to the extent that Note is converted in a bail-
in conversion, other than those provided under the bail-in regime, and by its acquisition of an interest in any Note, each holder or beneficial owner
of that Note is deemed to irrevocably consent to the converted portion of the principal amount of that Note and any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon being deemed paid in full by Bank of Montreal by the issuance of common shares of Bank of Montreal (or, if applicable, any of its
affiliates) upon the occurrence of a bail-in conversion, which bail-in conversion will occur without any further action on the part of that holder or
beneficial owner or the trustee; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this consent will not limit or otherwise affect any rights that holders or
beneficial owners may have under the bail-in regime.

See "Description of the Notes We May Offer -- Special Provisions Related to Bail-inable Notes" in the accompanying prospectus
supplement for a description of provisions applicable to the Notes as a result of Canadian bail-in powers.

Certain Investment Considerations


Optional Redemption. Prospective purchasers should be aware that we have the right to redeem the Notes on any Redemption Date,
beginning on the first Redemption Date. It is more likely that we will redeem the Notes prior to their stated maturity date to the extent that the
interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on other instruments of the issuer of a comparable maturity, terms
and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes are redeemed prior to their stated maturity date, you may have to re-invest the proceeds in a
lower interest rate environment. See "­ Optional Redemption Feature."

Credit Risk. Our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. Investors are dependent on our
ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes on each interest payment date and at maturity, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and
to changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market
for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes.

Fees and Hedging Costs. While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your
Notes, the original offering price of the Notes includes the commission received by BMOCM and other dealers and the cost of hedging our
obligations under the Notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which BMOCM may be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market
transactions will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to
you.


P-3



SUPPLEMENTAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general description of material tax considerations relating to the Notes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis
of all tax considerations relating to the Notes. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their tax advisers as to the consequences under
the tax laws of the country of which they are resident for tax purposes and the tax laws of Canada and the U.S. of acquiring, holding and disposing
of the Notes and receiving payments under the Notes. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this pricing supplement and is
subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date.

Supplemental Canadian Tax Considerations

For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes, please see the section of the
prospectus settlement, "Certain Income Tax Consequences ­ Certain Canadian Income Tax Considerations."

Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/927971/000121465920000754/j130201424b2.htm[1/31/2020 4:08:32 PM]



The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus
supplement with respect to United States holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus). It applies only to those United States holders who
are not excluded from the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus. It does not apply to holders subject to
special rules including holders subject to Section 451(b) of the Code. For purposes of this discussion, any interest with respect to the Notes, as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as from sources outside the United States.

You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the
Notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in
federal or other tax laws.

United States Holders

The Notes should not be treated as issued with original issue discount ("OID") despite the fact that the interest rate on the Notes is
scheduled to step up over the term of the Notes because Treasury regulations generally deem an issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that
minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the Notes
would be minimized if we redeem the Notes immediately before the increase in the interest rate on January 31, 2025, and therefore the Notes
should be treated for OID purposes as fixed-rate notes that will mature prior to the step-up in interest rate for the Notes. This assumption is made
solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes of determining whether the Note is issued with OID and is not an indication of our intention to redeem
or not to redeem the Notes at any time. If we do not redeem the Notes prior to the first increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes,
the Notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on January 31, 2025. This deemed reissuance should not give rise to taxable
gain or loss to holders and the Notes should not be treated as issued with OID because under the rules described above, the Notes should be
deemed to be called on the next interest step-up date.

Under this approach, the coupon on a Note will be taxable to a United States holder (as defined in the section "United States Federal
Income Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus) as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the United
States holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we redeem the Notes).

Upon the disposition of a Note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to redeem the Notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a United States holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the
amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such) and (ii) the
United States holder's adjusted tax basis in the Note. A United States holder's adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of the Note
(net of accrued interest) to the United States holder. Capital gain of individual taxpayers from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other
disposition of a Note held for more than one year may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss is subject to
significant limitations.


P-4



Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Please see the discussion under "United States Federal Income Taxation -- Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" in the
accompanying prospectus for a description of the applicability of the backup withholding and information reporting rules to payments made on
your Notes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments, including interest (and
OID), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits, and income, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of
property of a type which can produce U.S. source interest or dividends ("Withholdable Payments"), if paid to a foreign financial institution
(including amounts paid to a foreign financial institution on behalf of a holder), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the Treasury
Department to collect and provide to the Treasury Department substantial information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account
holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, with such institution. A Note may constitute an account for these purposes. The legislation also
generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on Withholdable Payments made to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the
withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or a certification identifying the direct and indirect
substantial U.S. owners of the entity.

Recently proposed regulations eliminate the requirement of withholding on gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of financial
instruments. The U.S. Treasury Department has indicated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization. If we
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/927971/000121465920000754/j130201424b2.htm[1/31/2020 4:08:32 PM]


determine withholding is appropriate with respect to the notes, we will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate, and we will not pay any
additional amounts in respect of such withholding. If we (or an applicable withholding agent) determine withholding is appropriate, we (or such
agent) will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate, and we will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. Account
holders subject to information reporting requirements pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act may include holders of the Notes.
Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United
States governing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act may be subject to different rules. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax
advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in the Notes.


P-5



EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT

A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA") (each, a "Plan"), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan's particular
circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would
satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan,
and whether the investment would involve a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and any other
plans that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code (also "Plans"), from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons who
are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the Plan. A violation of these prohibited transaction
rules may result in excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA or the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an
applicable statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of
ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) ("Non-
ERISA Arrangements") are not subject to the requirements of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but may be subject to similar
provisions under applicable federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws ("Similar Laws").

The acquisition of Notes by a Plan or any entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in the
entity (a "Plan Asset Entity") with respect to which we or certain of our affiliates is or becomes a party in interest or disqualified person may result
in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the Notes are acquired pursuant to an applicable exemption. The U.S.
Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs", that may provide exemptive relief if required for direct
or indirect prohibited transactions that may arise from the purchase or holding of Notes. These exemptions are PTCE 84-14 (for certain
transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company
pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (for transactions
involving certain insurance company general accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (for transactions managed by in-house asset managers). In addition,
ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities offered hereby,
provided that neither the issuer of securities offered hereby nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render
any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the Plan pays no more and
receives no less than "adequate consideration" in connection with the transaction (the "service provider exemption"). There can be no assurance
that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

Any purchaser or holder of Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase and holding of Notes offered
hereby that it either (1) is not a Plan, a Plan Asset Entity or a Non-ERISA Arrangement and is not purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with the
assets of any Plan, a Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement or (2) the purchase and holding of the Notes will not constitute a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions,
it is important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing Notes on behalf of or with the assets of any Plan, a Plan Asset Entity or
Non-ERISA Arrangement consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief under any of the PTCEs listed above, the service
provider exemption or the potential consequences of any purchase or holding under Similar Laws, as applicable. Purchasers of Notes have
exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase and holding of Notes do not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA
or the Code or any similar provisions of Similar Laws. The sale of any Notes to a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement is in no
respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to
investments by any such Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA
Arrangement or that such investment is appropriate for such Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular
Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/927971/000121465920000754/j130201424b2.htm[1/31/2020 4:08:32 PM]



P-6



SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

BMOCM will purchase the Notes from us on the settlement date at a price as specified on the cover page of this pricing supplement.
BMOCM has informed us that, as part of its distribution of the Notes, it will reoffer the Notes to other dealers who will sell them at the original
offering price. Each such dealer, or further dealer engaged by a dealer to whom BMOCM reoffers the Notes, will purchase the Notes at an agreed
discount to the initial offering price.

We own, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of BMOCM, the agent for this offering. In accordance with FINRA
Rule 5121, BMOCM may not make sales in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer.

You should not construe the offering of any of the Notes as a recommendation as to the suitability of an investment in the Notes.

BMOCM may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the Notes. BMOCM will determine any secondary market prices that it is
prepared to offer in its sole discretion.

We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, BMOCM or another of our affiliates may use this pricing
supplement in market-making transactions in any Notes after their initial sale. Unless BMOCM or we inform you otherwise in the confirmation of
sale, this pricing supplement is being used by BMOCM in a market-making transaction.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available
to, any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, the expression "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of
sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes,
and a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (a) a retail client, as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU
(as amended, "MiFID II"); or (b) a customer, within the meaning of Insurance Distribution Directive 2016/97/EU, as amended, where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (c) not a qualified investor as defined in
Regulation (EU) (2017/1129) (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared, and therefore, offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, the issue and sale of the notes has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
of the Bank in conformity with the Senior Indenture, and when this pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly notated on, the master note
that represents the notes, the notes will have been validly executed and issued and, to the extent validity of the notes is a matter governed by the
laws of the Province of Ontario, or the laws of Canada applicable therein, and will be valid obligations of the Bank, subject to the following
limitations (i) the enforceability of the Senior Indenture may be limited by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada), the Winding-
up and Restructuring Act (Canada) and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement or winding-up laws or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; (ii) the enforceability of the Senior Indenture may be limited by equitable
principles, including the principle that equitable remedies such as specific performance and injunction may only be granted in the discretion of a
court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) pursuant to the Currency Act (Canada) a judgment by a Canadian court must be awarded in Canadian
currency and that such judgment may be based on a rate of exchange in existence on a day other than the day of payment; and (iv) the
enforceability of the Senior Indenture will be subject to the limitations contained in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), and such counsel
expresses no opinion as to whether a court may find any provision of the Senior Debt Indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary or
exclude a limitation period under that Act. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Provinces of Ontario and the
federal laws of Canada applicable thereto. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the Trustee's authorization, execution
and delivery of the Indenture and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated
September 23, 2018, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.3 to Bank of Montreal's Form 6-K filed with the SEC and dated September 23, 2018.

In the opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, when the pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly notated on, the master note that
