| Interest Reset Date: | Each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. | |

LIBOR will be determined by the offered rate appearing on the Reuters screen LIBOR01 page or any replacement page or pages on which London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars are displayed (such determination to be made as set forth in the prospectus supplement accompanying the pricing supplement). | |
| Day Count: | Actual/360. | |
| Day Count Convention: | If any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a business day for the Floating Rate Notes, the Bank will postpone the making of such interest payment to the next succeeding business day (and interest thereon will continue to accrue to but excluding such succeeding business day) unless the next succeeding business day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding business day and interest shall accrue to but excluding such preceding business day. If the Maturity Date or a redemption date for the Floating Rate Notes would fall on a day that is not a business day, the payment of interest and principal will be made on the next succeeding business day, but no additional interest shall accrue and be paid unless the Bank fails to make payment on such next succeeding business day. | |
| Calculation Agent: | BMO Capital Markets Corp. For each Interest Period, the Calculation Agent will calculate the amount of accrued interest by multiplying the principal amount of the Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor for the Interest Period. This factor will equal the sum of the interest factors calculated for each day during the Interest Period. The interest factor for each day will be expressed as a decimal and will be calculated by dividing the interest rate, also expressed as a decimal, applicable to that day by 360. | |
| Redemption Provisions: | The Floating Rate Notes may be redeemed upon the occurrence of certain events pertaining to Canadian taxation. | |
| Trade Date: | April 10, 2018 | |

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their Fixed Rate Notes or Floating Rate Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) more than two business days prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in three business days (T+3), to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
Because Desjardins Securities Inc. is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a U.S. registered broker-dealer, it will effect offers and sales of the Notes solely outside of the United States or within the United States to the extent permitted by Rules 15a-6 under the Exchange Act through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers and as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc.
