SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DIFFERENCES
A summary of significant ways corporate governance practices followed by the Bank differ from corporate governance practices required to be followed by U.S. domestic companies under The New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards (disclosure required by Section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) and under The Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards (disclosure required by Section 5615(a)(3) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules) is available on the Bank’s website at
www.bmo.com
.
NOTE ON CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
During the year fiscal ended October 31, 2020, the Bank maintained a Canadian dollar personal chequing account and personal savings account with a Canadian resident citizen that appears on the Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) list of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) under Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”). The Bank had maintained these accounts and monitored their use, prohibiting access to U.S. currency and the U.S. financial system. The accounts were closed by the Bank in December 2019.
Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, the Bank is required to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings with certain individuals or entities, including those listed on OFAC’s SDN list under the Executive Order. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings were conducted outside the U.S. in compliance with applicable law. The Bank was not prohibited from doing business with this customer under applicable law or regulation. Revenues and profits from this relationship was not calculated but would be considered negligible.
