It is time set aside to speak with management, ask questions of them directly and receive immediate answers. It is also our annual opportunity to vote on those matters that affect the governance of our company – and to choose the people who will represent us around the boardroom table when key decisions are made. On April 1, 2014, our Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at the Bank’s Institute for Learning in Toronto, the centrepiece of BMO’s commitment to continuing education. As an organization that is constantly evolving to keep pace with our customers, we welcome this chance to showcase our leadership in the development of people. In 2014, the Institute for Learning celebrates 20 years of delivering programs that span skills training, management education and leadership development – all designed to build a strong workforce and contribute to the future performance of the Bank. Your presence at the Annual Meeting is important. You can attend in person or online at www.bmo.com/home/about/banking/investor-relations/annual-general-meeting. And whether you attend in person or online, we strongly urge you to submit your proxy vote ahead of time and make your vote count. Your participation is important to your Board of Directors and the management team. Your vote matters. Please take the time to review this Management Proxy Circular and our 2013 Annual Report. In the Management Proxy Circular you will find an explanation of the matters we will be voting on, along with detailed voting instructions. While you may register your position on proxy matters through the mail, there are clear benefits to opting for secure and instantaneous online voting. In the Annual Report you will find detailed information about BMO’s performance over the past fiscal year. You can find the Annual Report on our website, along with the Bank’s quarterly results, presentations to the investment community and other useful information about BMO Financial Group.
