Fixed Cash Flow Deposits may be suitable for investors seeking long-term predictable cash flow during their retirement years. They also provide exposure to the returns of a portfolio of mutual funds managed by BMO Investments Inc. (the underlying funds ) referred to as the FCFP Portfolio as described below. To get all the information you should know about the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits, you will need to review the Master Information Statement we refer to at the top of this document. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Series Supplement have the meanings given to them in the Master Information Statement.

On or about each anniversary of the Issue Date during the term of the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits, we will systematically rebalance the FCFP Portfolio by decreasing the percentage of the equity component and increasing the percentage of the fixed income component. We accomplish this by gradually changing the percentage weighting of each underlying fund in the FCFP Portfolio from the Issue Date Weighting shown in the middle column of the table to the Maturity Date Weighting shown in the last column of the table. Rebalancing between the equity component and the fixed income component is illustrated in the diagram below.

The Master Information Statement contains additional information about the Fixed Cash Flow Deposit Program and your investment in Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. Please read the Master Information Statement together with this For more information about Fixed Cash Flow Deposits: Please contact an investment professional at any BMO Bank of Montreal branch during normal business hours or call the BMO Investment Centre at FIXED CASH FLOW DEPOSITS SERIES 79 Series Supplement for a complete understanding of your investment in these Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. 1. The Fixed Cash Flow Deposits may be suitable for investors who desire long-term predictable cash flow during their retirement years. They are longterm deposits that provide investors with a steady and reliable stream of payments to meet ongoing spending needs. Fixed Cash Flow Deposits are intended to be held until maturity. 2. Fixed Cash Flow Deposits provide a variable return, if any, at maturity based on the performance of the underlying funds of the FCFP Portfolio. The FCFP Portfolio offers exposure to five (5) underlying funds managed by BMO Investments Inc. The Fixed Cash Flow Deposits will reflect the performance of the units of the underlying funds, subject to the Annual Fixed Cash Flow Deposit Fee described on the first page of this Series Supplement. 3. The value of the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits is calculated as if (i) the management expenses charged on the actual units of the underlying funds are not charged on the portfolio units (so that management fees are not duplicated) and (ii) the amount of any distributions on the actual units are credited to the FCFP Portfolio and notionally reinvested in more portfolio units of the relevant underlying fund. 2

3 The FCFP Portfolio 4. The FCFP Portfolio is divided into an equity component and a fixed income component, each of which will have notional weighted exposure to the underlying funds. The component to which each underlying fund belongs and its weighting within the FCFP Portfolio on the Issue Date is set out on the first page of this Series Supplement under FCFP Portfolio. The FCFP Portfolio will be systematically rebalanced to become progressively more conservative over the term of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits by adjusting the weighting of each underlying fund. The initial equity component weighting set out on the first page of this Series Supplement will be gradually reduced from the Issue Date Weighting to the Maturity Date Weighting shown on the first page of this Series Supplement during the 15-year term. Accordingly, by the Maturity Date the FCFP Portfolio will be allocated 35% to the equity component and 65% to the fixed income component. The asset allocation of the FCFP Portfolio will be rebalanced on or about each anniversary of the Issue Date. You can find more information about the weighting of each underlying fund in the FCFP Portfolio and rebalancing in FCFP Portfolio and Allocation & Rebalancing above. Investment Phases and Payments 5. The entire 15-year term of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits will be comprised of the distribution phase. There will be no growth phase. Accordingly, we will begin making monthly payments to you in the first year of the term of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits in an amount equal to $6.00 per Fixed Cash Flow Deposit each year (6.00% of the amount you invested in your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits). We refer to these payments, which are repayments of a portion of the principal you invested in your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits, as capital distributions. 6. The first capital distribution will be made to you on October 20, 2014 and will continue on a monthly basis until the day your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits mature (September 12, 2029 for this series). 7. Capital distributions will be made on the 20th day of each month (or, if that day is not a business day, on the next business day). 8. Since capital distributions are repayments of a portion of the principal you invested in your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits, they will not be taxable but they will reduce the adjusted cost base of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. Payment at Maturity 9. On the Maturity Date of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits, we will pay you the principal amount you invested in the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits ($100 per Fixed Cash Flow Deposit) less any capital distributions you received during the distribution phase. The principal amount you invested in the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits less any capital distributions you received on or before a particular date is the Remaining Deposit Balance on that date. You may also receive a variable return equal to the amount, if any, by which the Deposit Value on the third business day before the Fixed Cash Flow Deposit matures exceeds the Remaining Deposit Balance at maturity. If this Deposit Value does not exceed the Remaining Deposit Balance then you will not receive any variable return on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposit. Further information about how we determine the Deposit Value is set out in Part B of the Master Information Statement under Valuation of Fixed Cash Flow Deposits Calculating Deposit Value. 10. The performance of the underlying funds, measured from the Issue Date until the third business day before the Maturity Date, will affect the amount of variable return, if any, payable on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. Since the fees and expenses described in the Master Information Statement and on the first page of this Series Supplement will be deducted from the FCFP Portfolio, for you to receive a return at maturity, the value of the FCFP Portfolio must grow at a rate that exceeds those aggregate fees and expenses. It is possible that you will receive no return on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. 11. Unlike conventional fixed income investments whose return is based on a fixed, floating or other specified rate of interest that can be determined prior to the final valuation date, the return you receive on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits at maturity, if any, will be based solely on the performance of the underlying funds in the FCFP Portfolio. 12. While you will receive the full amount you invested in Fixed Cash Flow Deposits if you hold them until they mature, it is possible that you will not receive any amount beyond the principal amount you invested with us. If the Deposit Value on the third business day prior to maturity is equal to or less than the Remaining Deposit Balance at maturity then you will not receive any return at maturity. 13. The deposit amount of $100 for each Fixed Cash Flow Deposit will be fully repaid to you only if your Fixed Cash Flow Deposit is held until the Maturity Date. You cannot elect to receive any amounts on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits before they mature other than scheduled capital distributions. 14. This series of Fixed Cash Flow Deposits will mature on or about September 12, 2029 and will have a term of approximately 15 years. 15. On the Maturity Date, the Remaining Deposit Balance and any return payable on your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits will be transferred to a money market mutual fund managed by us or one of our affiliates. 3

4 Secondary Market for Fixed Cash Flow Deposits 16. BMO Capital Markets will use reasonable efforts to arrange a secondary market allowing you to sell your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits to BMO Capital Markets prior to maturity, but there may be circumstances where a secondary market may not exist for the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. There will be no other way for you to liquidate your investment in a Fixed Cash Flow Deposit prior to maturity. 17. If you sell the Fixed Cash Flow Deposits in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may receive less than the Remaining Deposit Balance of your Fixed Cash Flow Deposits. Moreover, if you sell a Fixed Cash Flow Deposit in the secondary market within 120 days after the Issue Date, BMO Capital Markets may deduct an early trading charge of up to 2% of the amount paid for the Fixed Cash Flow Deposit when it was issued.
