Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bank of Montreal (BMO) is offering US$1.195 million of Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series K – Contingent Risk Absolute Return Buffer Notes due July 3, 2030, linked to the S&P 500® Index (SPX). The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations that do not pay periodic interest and will not be listed on any exchange. They are intended for sophisticated investors who seek tailored exposure to the SPX with both capped upside and conditional downside protection.

Key economic terms

  • Initial Level: 6,204.95 (SPX close on June 30 2025)
  • Upside Leverage Factor: 100 % (1-to-1 participation)
  • Maximum Return / Redemption: 84.70 % ➔ cash cap of $1,847 per $1,000 note
  • Buffer Level: 80 % of Initial Level (4,963.96) providing a 20 % downside buffer
  • Maximum Downside Redemption: $1,200 per $1,000 note if Final Level is at Buffer Level
  • Principal at risk: 1 % loss for each 1 % SPX decline beyond the 20 % buffer, with maximum loss of 80 %
  • Estimated initial value: $974.44 (reflects dealer discounts, hedging costs and BMO’s internal funding rate)
  • Pricing Date: June 30 2025  |  Settlement: July 3 2025  |  Maturity & payment: July 3 2030
  • CUSIP: 06376EFF4  |  Agent: BMO Capital Markets Corp. (conflict of interest noted)

Payoff mechanics

  • Positive SPX performance: Investors receive 1-for-1 upside up to the 84.70 % cap.
  • Negative SPX performance within buffer (0 % to –20 %): Investors earn a positive “absolute return” equal to the magnitude of decline (e.g., a –10 % SPX drop pays +10 %).
  • Negative SPX beyond buffer (< 80 % of Initial Level): Investors lose principal dollar-for-dollar beyond the 20 % threshold, down to 20 % of par if SPX falls 100 %.

Risk highlights

  • No principal protection; up to 80 % loss of principal possible.
  • Credit risk of BMO; payments depend on issuer solvency.
  • Liquidity risk: unlisted security; secondary market only through BMOCM, if any.
  • Capped upside may underperform direct equity or conventional debt alternatives.
  • Initial estimated value ($974.44) materially below issue price; early resale likely at a discount.
  • Tax treatment uncertain; BMO intends to treat notes as prepaid derivative contracts.

Target investor profile: investors with a constructive or range-bound SPX outlook through mid-2030 who can tolerate issuer credit risk, liquidity constraints and a capped return structure in exchange for a 20 % buffer and potential absolute return on moderate declines.

뱅크 오브 몬트리올(BMO)은 2030년 7월 3일 만기인 시리즈 K – Contingent Risk Absolute Return Buffer Notes로, S&P 500® 지수(SPX)에 연동된 미화 1,195만 달러 규모의 Senior Medium-Term Notes를 제공합니다. 이 채권은 무담보 비우선순위 채무로 정기 이자를 지급하지 않으며 어떤 거래소에도 상장되지 않습니다. SPX에 대해 상한 수익과 조건부 하락 보호가 결합된 맞춤형 노출을 원하는 전문 투자자를 대상으로 합니다.

주요 경제 조건

  • 초기 수준: 6,204.95 (2025년 6월 30일 SPX 종가)
  • 상승 레버리지 비율: 100 % (1대1 참여)
  • 최대 수익/상환: 84.70 % ➔ 1,000달러당 현금 상한 1,847달러
  • 버퍼 수준: 초기 수준의 80 % (4,963.96), 20 % 하락 버퍼 제공
  • 최대 하락 상환: 최종 수준이 버퍼 수준일 경우 1,000달러당 1,200달러
  • 원금 위험: 20 % 버퍼를 초과하는 SPX 하락 1 %당 1 % 손실, 최대 손실 80 %
  • 추정 초기 가치: 974.44달러 (딜러 할인, 헤지 비용 및 BMO 내부 자금 조달 금리 반영)
  • 가격 결정일: 2025년 6월 30일  |  결제일: 2025년 7월 3일  |  만기 및 지급일: 2030년 7월 3일
  • CUSIP: 06376EFF4  |  대리인: BMO Capital Markets Corp. (이해 상충 있음)

지급 메커니즘

  • SPX 상승 시: 투자자는 최대 84.70 % 상한까지 1대1 비율로 수익을 받습니다.
  • 버퍼 내 SPX 하락(0 %~–20 %): 투자자는 하락 폭과 동일한 크기의 긍정적 “절대 수익”을 얻습니다(예: SPX가 –10 % 하락하면 +10 % 지급).
  • 버퍼를 초과한 SPX 하락(초기 수준의 80 % 미만): 투자자는 20 % 임계값을 초과하는 손실에 대해 원금을 1대1 비율로 잃으며, SPX가 100 % 하락하면 원금의 20 %만 회수됩니다.

주요 위험 사항

  • 원금 보호 없음; 최대 80 % 원금 손실 가능.
  • BMO 신용 위험; 지급은 발행자의 지급 능력에 따라 달라짐.
  • 유동성 위험: 비상장 증권; BMOCM을 통한 2차 시장만 가능할 수 있음.
  • 상한 수익은 직접 주식 투자나 전통적 채권 대비 성과가 낮을 수 있음.
  • 추정 초기 가치(974.44달러)가 발행가보다 상당히 낮음; 조기 매도 시 할인 가능성 있음.
  • 세금 처리 불확실; BMO는 이 노트를 선불 파생상품 계약으로 처리할 계획임.

목표 투자자 프로필: 2030년 중반까지 SPX에 대해 건설적이거나 횡보하는 전망을 가진 투자자로, 발행자 신용 위험, 유동성 제약, 상한 수익 구조를 감수하는 대신 20 % 버퍼와 완만한 하락에 대한 절대 수익 가능성을 원하는 투자자.

Auszahlungsmechanik

  • Positive SPX-Performance: Anleger erhalten eine 1:1 Teilnahme bis zur Obergrenze von 84,70 %.
  • Negative SPX-Performance innerhalb des Puffers (0 % bis –20 %): Anleger erzielen eine positive „Absolute Return“ in Höhe des Rückgangs (z. B. bei –10 % SPX fällt die Auszahlung +10 % aus).
  • Negative SPX-Performance über den Puffer hinaus (< 80 % des Ausgangsniveaus): Anleger verlieren Kapital Dollar für Dollar über die 20 % Schwelle hinaus, bis auf 20 % des Nennwerts, falls der SPX 100 % fällt.

Risikohighlights

  • Kein Kapitalschutz; Verlust bis zu 80 % des Kapitals möglich.
  • Kreditrisiko von BMO; Zahlungen hängen von der Zahlungsfähigkeit des Emittenten ab.
  • Liquiditätsrisiko: nicht börsennotiertes Wertpapier; Sekundärmarkt nur über BMOCM, falls vorhanden.
  • Begrenztes Aufwärtspotenzial kann gegenüber direktem Aktieninvestment oder konventionellen Anleihen unterlegen sein.
  • Geschätzter Anfangswert (974,44 $) deutlich unter dem Ausgabepreis; vorzeitiger Verkauf wahrscheinlich mit Abschlag.
  • Unklare steuerliche Behandlung; BMO beabsichtigt, die Notes als vorab bezahlte Derivate zu behandeln.

Zielinvestorprofil: Anleger mit konstruktiver oder seitwärts gerichteter SPX-Erwartung bis Mitte 2030, die Emittenten-Kreditrisiko, Liquiditätsbeschränkungen und eine begrenzte Renditestruktur zugunsten eines 20 % Puffers und potenzieller absoluter Renditen bei moderaten Rückgängen tolerieren können.

Positive
  • 20 % downside buffer converts moderate SPX declines into positive returns and shields initial principal up to the threshold.
  • 1-to-1 upside participation provides equity-like exposure with potential total return of 84.70 % over five years.
  • Absolute return feature (positive payout on SPX drops within buffer) adds diversification versus linear equity positions.
Negative
  • Principal at risk beyond 20 % decline; investor could lose up to 80 % of principal.
  • Upside capped at 84.70 %, materially below potential direct SPX gains in a strong bull market.
  • No periodic interest and estimated initial value 2.6 % below par create negative carry if sold before maturity.
  • Unsecured credit exposure to Bank of Montreal; payments contingent on issuer solvency.
  • Illiquidity risk: notes will not be exchange-listed; secondary market depends solely on BMOCM.

Insights

TL;DR Balanced risk-reward note: 20 % buffer and capped 84.7 % upside; suitable only for investors tolerating credit and liquidity risk.

The note delivers straightforward 1-for-1 participation in SPX moves up to an 84.70 % cap while offering a 20 % downside buffer that converts moderate index losses into gains up to $1,200. Such ‘absolute return’ features appeal during sideways or moderately bearish markets. However, the cap truncates gains if equities rally strongly, and the buffer is exhausted once SPX drops more than 20 %, exposing investors to steep losses. The estimated initial value (97.4 % of par) implies an immediate 2.6 % cost. No interest, no listing, and reliance on BMO’s credit highlight typical structured-note drawbacks. Overall risk-reward is neutral versus direct SPX exposure and should be used tactically within diversified portfolios.

TL;DR Unsecured obligation: investor returns hinge on BMO credit quality and limited secondary liquidity.

Because the notes rank pari passu with BMO’s senior debt, any deterioration in the bank’s credit spreads will immediately pressure secondary pricing independent of SPX moves. The 5-year tenor coincides with potential credit-cycle volatility. The unlisted status means bid-offer quotes will be discretionary; investors may face wide spreads or no market at stress points. The 20 % buffer may offer psychological comfort, yet severe tail risks remain. From a risk-adjusted standpoint, holding the notes to maturity is essential; otherwise, liquidity discounts may negate expected returns.

  • 추정 초기 가치: 974.44달러 (딜러 할인, 헤지 비용 및 BMO 내부 자금 조달 금리 반영)
  • 가격 결정일: 2025년 6월 30일  |  결제일: 2025년 7월 3일  |  만기 및 지급일: 2030년 7월 3일
  • CUSIP: 06376EFF4  |  대리인: BMO Capital Markets Corp. (이해 상충 있음)

지급 메커니즘

  • SPX 상승 시: 투자자는 최대 84.70 % 상한까지 1대1 비율로 수익을 받습니다.
  • 버퍼 내 SPX 하락(0 %~–20 %): 투자자는 하락 폭과 동일한 크기의 긍정적 “절대 수익”을 얻습니다(예: SPX가 –10 % 하락하면 +10 % 지급).
  • 버퍼를 초과한 SPX 하락(초기 수준의 80 % 미만): 투자자는 20 % 임계값을 초과하는 손실에 대해 원금을 1대1 비율로 잃으며, SPX가 100 % 하락하면 원금의 20 %만 회수됩니다.

주요 위험 사항

  • 원금 보호 없음; 최대 80 % 원금 손실 가능.
  • BMO 신용 위험; 지급은 발행자의 지급 능력에 따라 달라짐.
  • 유동성 위험: 비상장 증권; BMOCM을 통한 2차 시장만 가능할 수 있음.
  • 상한 수익은 직접 주식 투자나 전통적 채권 대비 성과가 낮을 수 있음.
  • 추정 초기 가치(974.44달러)가 발행가보다 상당히 낮음; 조기 매도 시 할인 가능성 있음.
  • 세금 처리 불확실; BMO는 이 노트를 선불 파생상품 계약으로 처리할 계획임.

목표 투자자 프로필: 2030년 중반까지 SPX에 대해 건설적이거나 횡보하는 전망을 가진 투자자로, 발행자 신용 위험, 유동성 제약, 상한 수익 구조를 감수하는 대신 20 % 버퍼와 완만한 하락에 대한 절대 수익 가능성을 원하는 투자자.

Risikohighlights

  • Kein Kapitalschutz; Verlust bis zu 80 % des Kapitals möglich.
  • Kreditrisiko von BMO; Zahlungen hängen von der Zahlungsfähigkeit des Emittenten ab.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES

The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. The examples should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and merely are intended to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical underlier levels on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant and are not intended to predict the final underlier level.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the examples below, such as interest rates, the volatility of the underlier, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor. The information in the examples also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

 

Key Terms and Assumptions

 

Face amount

$1,000

Maximum settlement amount

$1,135

 

Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on the originally scheduled determination date

No change in or affecting any of the underlier stocks or the method by which the underlier sponsor calculates the underlier

Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date

 

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlier over the life of your notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level and the assumptions noted above.

PS-3


 

As shown in the table above:

If the final underlier level were determined to be 25.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 100.000% of the face amount of your notes. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would receive no return on your investment.
If the final underlier level were determined to be 200.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be capped at the maximum settlement amount, or 113.500% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level over 113.500% of the initial underlier level.

The following chart shows a graphical illustration of the hypothetical cash settlement amounts (expressed as percentages of the face amount of your notes) that we would pay on your notes on the stated maturity date, if the final underlier level (expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level) were any of the hypothetical levels shown on the horizontal axis. The chart shows that any hypothetical final underlier level of less than 100.000% (the section left of the 100.000% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% of the face amount of your notes. The chart also shows that any hypothetical final underlier level of greater than or equal to 113.500% (the section right of the 113.500% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a capped return on your investment.

SELECTED RISK FACTORS

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks summarized below. These risks, as well as other risks and considerations, are explained in more detail in the accompanying documents listed above under “About Your Prospectus”. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in such accompanying documents. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks (i.e., the stocks comprising the underlier to which your notes are linked). You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes

The original issue price for your notes exceeds the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads. After the trade date, the estimated value as determined by reference to these models will be affected by changes in market conditions, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, and other relevant factors. The price at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise, also exceeds the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models. As agreed by GS&Co. and the distribution participants, this excess (i.e., the additional amount set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement) will decline to zero on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through the additional amount end date set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. Thereafter, if GS&Co. buys or sells your notes it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that time. The price at which GS&Co. will buy or sell your notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

In estimating the value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, GS&Co.’s pricing models consider certain variables, including principally our credit spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to maturity of the notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your notes determined by reference to our models due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or assumptions used by others. See “The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” below.

The difference between the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date and the original issue price is a result of certain factors, including principally the underwriting discount and commissions, the expenses incurred in creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to GS&Co. and the amounts GS&Co. pays to us in connection with your notes. We pay to GS&Co. amounts based on what we would pay to holders of a non-structured note with a similar maturity. In return for such payment, GS&Co. pays to us the amounts we owe under your notes.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by GS&Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness or the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount will further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market” in the accompanying general terms supplement.

The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

Investors are dependent on our ability and the ability of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes. Therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk, and to changes in the market’s view of the creditworthiness, of the issuer and the guarantor. See “Description of the Notes We May Offer — Information About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series F Program — How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Guarantee by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.” in the accompanying prospectus.

 

PS-5


 

You May Receive Only the Face Amount of Your Notes at Maturity

If the underlier return is zero or negative, the return on your notes will be limited to the face amount.

Even if the amount paid on your notes at maturity exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a note with the same stated maturity that bears interest at the prevailing market rate.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

Your Notes Do Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. The overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-indexed debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate.

The Potential for the Value of Your Notes to Increase Will Be Limited

The maximum settlement amount will limit the cash settlement amount you may receive for each of your notes at maturity, no matter how much the level of the underlier may rise beyond the initial underlier level over the life of your notes.

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock

Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any of the underlier stocks. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of your notes will have any rights with respect to the underlier stocks, including any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underlier stocks or any other rights of a holder of the underlier stocks. Your notes will be paid in cash and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlier stocks.

The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors

When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of your notes, including:

the level of the underlier;
the volatility — i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes — in the closing level of the underlier;
the dividend rates of the underlier stocks;
economic, financial, regulatory, political, military, public health and other events that affect stock markets generally and the underlier stocks, and which may affect the closing level of the underlier;
interest rates and yield rates in the market;
the time remaining until your notes mature; and
our creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., whether actual or perceived, and including actual or anticipated upgrades or downgrades in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or changes in other credit measures.

Without limiting the foregoing, the market value of your notes may be negatively impacted by increasing interest rates. Such adverse impact of increasing interest rates could be significantly enhanced in notes with longer-dated maturities, the market values of which are generally more sensitive to increasing interest rates.

These factors may influence the market value of your notes if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes. You cannot predict the future performance of the underlier based on its historical performance.

Risks Related to Tax

Your Notes will be Treated as Debt Instruments Subject to Special Rules Governing Contingent Payment Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

The notes will be treated as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a U.S. individual or taxable entity, you generally will be required to pay taxes on ordinary income from the notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the notes, even though you will not receive any payments from us until maturity. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be taxed prior to maturity and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will be. In addition, any gain you may recognize on the sale, exchange or maturity of the notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. If you are a secondary purchaser of the notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. Please see “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below for a more detailed discussion. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your notes in your particular circumstances.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. It applies to you only if you hold your notes as a capital asset for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

a dealer in securities or currencies;
a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;
a bank;
a regulated investment company;
a life insurance company;
a tax-exempt organization;
a partnership;
an accrual method taxpayer subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of its use of financial statements;
a person that owns the notes as a hedge or that is hedged against interest rate risks;
a person that owns the notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes; or
a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

This section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the notes, 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

This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States holder. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of the notes and you are:

a citizen or resident of the United States;
a domestic corporation;
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

If you are not a United States holder, this section does not apply to you and you should refer to “— Non-United States Holders” below.

Your notes will be treated as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under those rules, the amount of interest you are required to take into account for each accrual period will be determined by constructing a projected payment schedule for your notes and applying rules similar to those for accruing original issue discount on a hypothetical noncontingent debt instrument with that projected payment schedule. This method is applied by first determining the yield at which we would issue a noncontingent fixed rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to your notes (the “comparable yield”) and then determining as of the issue date a payment schedule that would produce the comparable yield. These rules will generally have the effect of requiring you to include amounts in income in respect of your notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the notes, even though you will not receive any payments from us until maturity.

We have determined that the comparable yield for the notes is equal to 4.395% per annum, compounded semi-annually, with a projected payment at maturity of $1,092.55 based on an investment of $1,000.

 

PS-8


 

Based on this comparable yield, if you are an initial holder that holds a note until maturity and you pay your taxes on a calendar year basis, we have determined that you would be required to report the following amounts as ordinary income, not taking into account any positive or negative adjustments you may be required to take into account based on the actual payments on the notes, from the note each year:

 

Accrual Period

Interest Deemed to Accrue During Accrual Period (per $1,000 note)

Total Interest Deemed to Have Accrued from Original Issue Date (per $1,000 note) as of End of Accrual Period

 

July 3, 2025 through December 31, 2025

$22.11

$22.11

 

January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026

$46.05

$68.16

 

January 1, 2027 through July 6, 2027

$24.39

$92.55

 

You are required to use the comparable yield and projected payment schedule that we compute in determining your interest accruals in respect of your notes, unless you timely disclose and justify on your U.S. federal income tax return the use of a different comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

The comparable yield and projected payment schedule are not provided to you for any purpose other than the determination of your interest accruals in respect of your notes, and we make no representation regarding the amount of contingent payments with respect to your notes.

If you purchase your notes at a price other than their adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you must determine the extent to which the difference between the price you paid for your notes and their adjusted issue price is attributable to a change in expectations as to the projected payment schedule, a change in interest rates, or both, and reasonably allocate the difference accordingly. The adjusted issue price of your notes will equal your notes’ original issue price plus any interest deemed to be accrued on your notes (under the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments) as of the time you purchase your notes. The original issue price of your notes will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. Therefore, you may be required to make the adjustments described above even if you purchase your notes in the initial offering if you purchase your notes at a price other than the issue price.

If the adjusted issue price of your notes is greater than the price you paid for your notes, you must make positive adjustments increasing (i) the amount of interest that you would otherwise accrue and include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or decreasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule; if the adjusted issue price of your notes is less than the price you paid for your notes, you must make negative adjustments, decreasing (i) the amount of interest that you must include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or increasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule. Adjustments allocated to the interest amount are not made until the date the daily portion of interest accrues.

Because any Form 1099-OID that you receive will not reflect the effects of positive or negative adjustments resulting from your purchase of notes at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to whether and how adjustments should be made to the amounts reported on any Form 1099-OID.

You will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your notes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the cash amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your notes. In general, your adjusted basis in your notes will equal the amount you paid for your notes, increased by the amount of interest you previously accrued with respect to your notes (in accordance with the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule for your notes) and increased or decreased by the amount of any positive or negative adjustment, respectively, that you are required to make if you purchase your notes at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes (as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement).

Any gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your notes will be ordinary interest income. Any loss you recognize at such time will be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included as income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your notes, and thereafter, capital loss. If you are a noncorporate holder, you would generally be able to use such ordinary loss to offset your income only in the taxable year in which you recognize the ordinary loss and would generally not be able to carry such ordinary loss forward or back to offset income in other taxable years.

Non-United States Holders

If you are a non-United States holder, please see the discussion under “United States Taxation — Taxation of Debt Securities — Non-United States Holders” in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the tax consequences relevant to you. You are a non-United States holder if you are the beneficial owner of the notes and are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

a nonresident alien individual;

PS-9


 

a foreign corporation; or
an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from the notes.

The Treasury Department has issued regulations under which amounts paid or deemed paid on certain financial instruments (“871(m) financial instruments”) that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends could be treated, in whole or in part depending on the circumstances, as a “dividend equivalent” payment that is subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty), which in the case of amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your notes, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the notes, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the stocks included in the underlier during the term of the notes. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8) prior to the maturity of the notes in order to avoid or minimize withholding obligations, and we could withhold accordingly (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory. If withholding was required, we would not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

These regulations generally will apply to 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2027, but will also apply to certain 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) that have a delta (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of one and are issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2017. In addition, these regulations will not apply to financial instruments that reference a “qualified index” (as defined in the regulations). We have determined that, as of the issue date of your notes, your notes will not be subject to withholding under these rules. In certain limited circumstances, however, you should be aware that it is possible for non-United States holders to be liable for tax under these rules with respect to a combination of transactions treated as having been entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. You should consult your tax advisor concerning these regulations, subsequent official guidance and regarding any other possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding

Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in “United States Taxation—Taxation of Debt Securities—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to the FATCA withholding rules.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying general terms supplement and “Plan of Distribution — Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying prospectus.

GS Finance Corp. will sell to GS&Co., and GS&Co. will purchase from GS Finance Corp., the aggregate face amount of the offered notes specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. GS&Co. proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the original issue price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. GS&Co. will pay a fee of 0.5% of the face amount to an affiliate of the dealer in connection with certain services provided directly by such affiliate to the dealer. GS&Co. is an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and, as such, will have a “conflict of interest” in this offering of notes within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering of notes will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. GS&Co. will not be permitted to sell notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. We have been advised that GS&Co. will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, a broker-dealer in which an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. holds an indirect minority equity interest, for services it is providing in connection with this offering.

We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on the original issue date set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

We have been advised by GS&Co. that it intends to make a market in the notes. However, neither GS&Co. nor any of our other affiliates that makes a market is obligated to do so and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for the notes.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system.

FAQ

What is the maximum redemption amount on BMO’s 2030 Buffer Notes?

The Maximum Redemption Amount is $1,847 per $1,000 note, reflecting an 84.70 % cap on upside.

How much downside protection do the notes provide?

The structure has a 20 % buffer; SPX can fall up to 20 % with no loss of principal, and investors earn a positive absolute return within that range.

What happens if the S&P 500 falls more than 20 %?

Investors lose 1 % of principal for each 1 % decline beyond 20 %, up to an 80 % maximum loss if SPX goes to zero.

Do the notes pay interest during the 5-year term?

No. The notes are zero-coupon and only pay a lump-sum amount at maturity based on SPX performance.

Is there secondary market liquidity?

The notes will not be listed. BMOCM may provide bids at its discretion, so liquidity is uncertain and bid-ask spreads may be wide.

What is the credit risk associated with these notes?

All payments rely on Bank of Montreal’s senior creditworthiness; a downgrade or default would directly impact note value.
