ETF Linked Securities

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the VanEck^® Gold Miners ETF due December 2, 2027

Linked to the VanEck^® Gold Miners ETF (the "Fund")

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call upon the terms described below. Whether the securities are automatically called for a fixed call premium or, if not automatically called, the maturity payment amount, will depend, in each case, on the performance of the Fund.

Automatic Call. If the fund closing price of the Fund on the call date occurring approximately one year after issuance is greater than or equal to the starting price, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a call premium of 16.50% of the face amount

Maturity Payment Amount. If the securities are not automatically called, you will receive a maturity payment amount that could be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount depending on the ending price of the Fund as follows:

n If the ending price is greater than the starting price, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to 150% of the percentage increase in the price of the Fund from the starting price

n If the ending price is equal to or less than the starting price but not by more than 25%, you will receive the face amount

n If the ending price is less than the starting price by more than 25%, you will receive less than the face amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Fund from the starting price, and you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities

Investors may lose a significant portion or all of the face amount

All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal, and you will have no ability to pursue the Fund or any securities held by the Fund for payment; if Bank of Montreal defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment

No periodic interest payments or dividends

No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity or automatic call

On the date of this pricing supplement, the estimated initial value of the securities was $953.26 per security. As discussed in more detail in this pricing supplement, the actual value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PRS-8 herein and "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement.

The securities are the unsecured obligations of Bank of Montreal, and, accordingly, all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal. If Bank of Montreal defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. The securities are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Deposit Insurance Fund, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Estimated Value of the Securities

Our estimated initial value of the securities on the pricing date that is set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, equals the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components:

a fixed-income debt component with the same tenor as the securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured notes; and

one or more derivative transactions relating to the economic terms of the securities.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The value of these derivative transactions is derived from our internal pricing models. These models are based on factors such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on other inputs, which include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. As a result, the estimated initial value of the securities on the pricing date was determined based on market conditions at that time.

For more information about the estimated initial value of the securities, see “Selected Risk Considerations” below.

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

seek a fixed return equal to the call premium if the securities are automatically called on the call date;

understand that the securities may be automatically called prior to the stated maturity and that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately one year;

seek 150% leveraged exposure to the upside performance of the Fund if the securities are not automatically called and the ending price is greater than the starting price;

desire payment of the face amount at maturity if the securities are not automatically called so long as the ending price is not less than the starting price by more than 25%;

are willing to accept the risk that, if the securities are not automatically called and the ending price is less than the starting price by more than 25%, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the price of the Fund from the starting price, and will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity;

are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the shares of the Fund and the securities held by the Fund; and

are willing to hold the securities until maturity or automatic call.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity or automatic call;

seek a security with a fixed term;

are unwilling to accept the risk that the securities will not be automatically called and the ending price of the Fund may decrease from the starting price by more than 25%;

seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price, as set forth on the cover page of this document;

seek current income over the term of the securities;

are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Fund;

seek exposure to the Fund but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;

are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Bank of Montreal to obtain exposure to the Fund generally, or to the exposure to the Fund that the securities provide specifically; or

prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the "Selected Risk Considerations" herein and the "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Terms And Structure Of The Securities

If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called And The Ending Price Is Less Than The Threshold Price, You Will Lose More Than 25%, And Possibly All, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

If the securities are not automatically called, we will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending price of the Fund relative to the starting price and the other terms of the securities. Because the price of the Fund will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.

If the securities are not automatically called and the ending price is less than the threshold price, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Fund from the starting price. The threshold price is 75% of the starting price. As a result, if the Fund has declined by 25.1% from the starting price to the ending price, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside feature and you will lose 25.1% of the face amount per security. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the price of the Fund decreases below the threshold price and you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the price of the Fund is greater than or equal to the starting price or the threshold price at certain times during the term of the securities.

If the securities are not automatically called, even if the ending price is greater than the starting price, the maturity payment amount may only be slightly greater than the face amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Bank of Montreal or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities. However, if the agreed-upon tax treatment is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), you may be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities. You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations."

If The Securities Are Automatically Called, Your Return Will Be Limited to the Call Premium.

If the securities are automatically called, the positive return on the securities will be limited to the call premium, and you will not participate in any appreciation of the Fund beyond the call premium, which may be significant. Accordingly, if the securities are automatically called, the return on the securities may be less than the return in a direct investment in the securities represented by the Fund. If the securities are automatically called, you will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any appreciation of the Fund at the upside participation rate.

You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.

If your securities are automatically called, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.

The Securities Are Subject To Credit Risk.

The securities are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to our creditworthiness and you will have no ability to pursue any securities held by the Fund for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we were to default on our obligations under the securities, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities.

Significant Aspects Of The Tax Treatment Of The Securities Are Uncertain.

The tax treatment of the securities is uncertain. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS or from the Canada Revenue Agency regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS, the Canada Revenue Agency or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement and/or the accompanying product supplement.

The IRS has issued a notice indicating that it and the U.S. Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, a holder should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the securities even though that holder will not receive any payments with respect to the securities until maturity or earlier sale or exchange and whether all or part of the gain a holder may recognize upon sale, exchange or maturity of an instrument such as the securities should be treated as ordinary income. The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis.

Please read carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement, the section entitled “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus and the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.

For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please read the section entitled “Supplemental Canadian Tax Considerations” below. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.

The Call Settlement Date Or The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If The Call Date Or The Final Calculation Day Is Postponed.

The call date or the final calculation day will be postponed if the originally scheduled call date or final calculation day is not a trading day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on that day. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the call date, then the call settlement date will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the final calculation day, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the initial stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the final calculation day as postponed.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date, Based On Our Proprietary Pricing Models, Is Less Than The Original Offering Price.

Our initial estimated value of the securities is only an estimate, and is based on a number of factors. The original offering price of the securities exceeds our initial estimated value, because costs associated with offering, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original offering price, but are not included in the estimated value. These costs include the agent discount and selling concessions, the profits that we and our affiliates and/or the agent and its affiliates expect to realize for assuming the risks in hedging our obligations under the securities, and the estimated cost of hedging these obligations.

The Terms Of The Securities Were Not Determined By Reference To The Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.

To determine the terms of the securities, we used an internal funding rate that represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. As a result, the terms of the securities are less favorable to you than if we had used a higher funding rate.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

Our initial estimated value of the securities as of the date of this pricing supplement was derived using our internal pricing models. This value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors, which include volatility of the Fund, dividend rates and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions, including those used by the agent, its affiliates or other market participants, could provide values for the securities that are greater than or less than our initial estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors after the pricing date are expected to change, possibly rapidly, and our assumptions may prove to be incorrect. After the pricing date, the value of the securities could change dramatically due to changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, and the other factors set forth in this pricing supplement. These changes are likely to impact the price, if any, at which WFS or its affiliates or any other party (including us or our affiliates) would be willing to purchase the securities from you in any secondary market transactions. Our initial estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which WFS or any other party (including us or our affiliates) would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market at any time.

WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of their affiliates will be affected by changes in market conditions and other factors described in the next risk factor. WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 3-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in their original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, WFS has advised us that any secondary market price it, WFA or any of their affiliates offers during this period will be higher than it otherwise would be after this period, as any secondary market price offered after this period will reflect the full deduction of the costs as described above. WFS has advised us that the amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 3-month period. WFS has advised us that, if you hold the securities through an account with WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, WFS expects that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to stated maturity will be affected by the then-current price of the Fund, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which we refer to as the “derivative component factors,” and which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the securities: performance of the Fund; interest rates; volatility of the Fund; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on securities included in the Fund. When we refer to the “value” of your security, we mean the value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the stated maturity date.

PRS-9

Market Linked Securities— Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the VanEck^® Gold Miners ETF due December 2, 2027

In addition to the derivative component factors, the value of the securities will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness. The value of the securities will also be limited by the automatic call feature because if the securities are automatically called, your return will be limited to the call premium, and you will not receive the potentially higher payment that may have been paid if you had held the securities until the stated maturity date. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the price of the Fund. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the price of the Fund may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although the agent and/or its affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent is willing to buy your securities.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to stated maturity.

Risks Relating To The Fund

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With The Gold And Silver Mining Industries — All or substantially all of the stocks held by the GDX are issued by gold or silver mining companies. As a result, the stocks that will determine the performance of the GDX are concentrated in one sector. Although an investment in the securities will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the stocks held by the GDX, the return on the securities will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity investment in gold or silver mining companies.

In addition, these companies are highly dependent on the price of gold or silver, as applicable. These prices fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. Factors affecting gold prices include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market. Factors affecting silver prices include general economic trends, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production costs and disruptions in major silver producing countries such as Mexico and Peru. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the market.

On the other hand, the GDX reflects the performance of shares of gold and silver mining companies and not gold bullion or silver bullion. The GDX may under- or over-perform gold bullion and/or silver bullion over the term of the securities.

An Investment in the Securities Is Subject to Risks Relating to Non-U.S. Securities Markets — Because certain securities held by the GDX are issued by non-U.S. issuers and/or are traded outside of the U.S., an investment in the securities involves particular risks. For example, the relevant non-U.S. securities markets may be more volatile than the U.S. securities markets, and market developments may affect these markets differently from the U.S. or other securities markets.

The Securities Are Subject to Exchange Rate Risk — Because certain securities held by the GDX are traded in currencies other than U.S. dollars, and the securities are denominated in U.S. dollars, the amount payable on the securities at maturity may be exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which those securities are denominated. These changes in exchange rates may reflect changes in various non-U.S. economies that in turn may affect the payments on the securities. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies in which the relevant securities are denominated either strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each security.

Whether The Securities Will Be Automatically Called And The Maturity Payment Amount Depend Upon The Performance Of The Fund And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Fund. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Fund. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities held by the Fund for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities held by the Fund would have.

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a "participating dealer," are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

The calculation agent is our affiliate and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the securities. BMOCM, which is our affiliate, will be the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, BMOCM will determine any values of the Fund and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, BMOCM may be required to make discretionary judgments that may adversely affect any payments on the securities. See the sections entitled "General Terms of the Securities— Certain Terms for Securities Linked to a Fund—Market Disruption Events" and "—Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to a Fund; Alternate Calculation" in the accompanying product supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that BMOCM is our affiliate may cause it to have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and BMOCM's determinations as calculation agent may adversely affect your return on the securities.

The estimated value of the securities was calculated by us and is therefore not an independent third-party valuation.

Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the securities and may adversely affect the price of the Fund.

Hypothetical Examples Of Payment Upon An Automatic Call Or At Stated Maturity

Example 1. The fund closing price of the Fund on the call date is greater than the starting price, and the securities are automatically called on the call date:

	The Fund
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on the call date:	$125.00

Because the hypothetical fund closing price of the Fund on the call date is greater than the hypothetical starting price, the securities are automatically called on the call date and you will receive on the call settlement date the face amount of your securities plus a call premium of 16.50% of the face amount. Even though the Fund appreciated by 25.00% from its starting price to its fund closing price on the call date in this example, your return is limited to the call premium of 16.50%.

On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,165.00 per security.

Example 2. The securities are not automatically called. The maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount:

	The Fund
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on the call date:	$80.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$110.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$75.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price – starting price)/starting price:	10.00%

Because the hypothetical fund closing price of the Fund on the call date is less than the hypothetical starting price, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical ending price is greater than the hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to:

$1,000 × fund return × upside participation rate

$1,000 × 10.00% × 150.00%

= $150.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,150.00 per security.

Example 3. The securities are not automatically called. Maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount:

	The Fund
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on the call date:	$75.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$95.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$75.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price – starting price)/starting price:	-5.00%

Because the hypothetical fund closing price of the Fund on the call date is less than the hypothetical starting price, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical ending price is less than the hypothetical starting price, but not by more than 25%, you would not lose any of the face amount of your securities.

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

Example 4. The securities are not automatically called. Maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:

	The Fund
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on the call date:	$80.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$50.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$75.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price – starting price)/starting price:	-50.00%

Because the hypothetical fund closing price of the Fund on the call date is less than the hypothetical starting price, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical ending price is less than the hypothetical starting price by more than 25%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × fund return)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)

= $500.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $500.00 per security.

The VanEck^® Gold Miners ETF ("GDX") is an investment portfolio maintained, managed and advised by Van Eck Associates Corporation ("Van Eck"). The VanEck ETF Trust is a registered open-end investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the GDX. The GDX is an exchange traded fund that trades on NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “GDX.” The GDX seeks to seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (the "Fund Underlying Index"). The GDX, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Fund Underlying Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Fund Underlying Index. The GDX normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund Underlying Index. The GDX normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and depositary receipts of companies involved in the gold mining industry.

The securities are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Van Eck. Van Eck makes no representations or warranties to the owners of the securities or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in the securities. Van Eck has no obligation or liability in connection with the operation, marketing, trading or sale of the securities.

The Fund Underlying Index

We have derived all information contained in this terms supplement regarding the Fund Underlying Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information and information supplied by ICE Data Indices, LLC (the “index sponsor”), the index sponsor and the index administrator. The index sponsor is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund Underlying Index, including retaining primary responsibility for all aspects of the Fund Underlying Index determination process, including implementing appropriate governance and oversight. The index sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the Fund Underlying Index.

The Fund Underlying Index includes common stocks, ADRs and GDRs of selected companies that are involved in the mining for gold or silver ore and are listed for trading and electronically quoted on a major stock market that is accessible by foreign investors. Generally, this will include exchanges in most developed markets and major emerging markets, and will include companies that are cross-listed, e.g., both U.S. and Canadian listings. The index sponsor will use its discretion to avoid exchanges and markets that are considered “frontier” in nature or have major restrictions to foreign ownership or investability. The Fund Underlying Index includes companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from gold mining and related activities (40% for companies already included in the Fund Underlying Index). At the discretion of the index sponsor, companies that have not yet commenced production are also eligible for inclusion in the Fund Underlying Index, provided they do have tangible revenues that are related to either the mining of gold or silver ore. Also, the Fund Underlying Index maintains exposure to companies with a significant revenue exposure to silver mining in addition to gold mining, which will not exceed 20% of the Fund Underlying Index weight at each rebalance.

Only companies with market capitalizations greater than $750 million (not adjusted for free float), an average daily volume of at least 50,000 shares over the past three months and an average daily value traded of at least $1 million over the past three months are eligible for inclusion in the Fund Underlying Index. For companies already in the Fund Underlying Index, the market capitalization requirement is greater than $450 million (not adjusted for free float), the average daily volume requirement is at least 30,000 shares over the past three months and the average daily value traded requirement is at least $600,000 over the past three months. Companies already in the Fund Underlying Index will be removed from the Fund Underlying Index during the quarterly review if they do not meet either the market capitalization requirement or, alternatively, both the average daily volume requirement and the average daily value traded requirement. The index sponsor has the discretion to not include all companies that meet the minimum criteria for inclusion.

Only one listing is permitted per company and the listing representing the company’s ordinary shares is generally used. If an ADR, GDR, or U.S. cross-listing is available for a given stock and it satisfies the minimum liquidity requirements, that ADR, GDR, or U.S. cross-listing will be used instead of the locally listed ordinary share. If multiple share classes are available for a particular listing line, the shares outstanding for each class will be added up and be attributed to the most liquid class.

Calculation of the Fund Underlying Index. The Fund Underlying Index is calculated on a net total return basis. A net total return index measures the period to period change in the value of its components due to changes in the valuation (price in U.S. dollars) of those components plus (by means of an adjustment to the divisor) any income produced by those components net of dividend withholding taxes. As the index level is expressed in U.S. dollars, the Fund Underlying Index converts non-U.S. currencies into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. The calculation is based on the current modified market capitalization divided by a divisor. The divisor was determined on the initial capitalization base of the Fund Underlying Index and the base level and may be adjusted as a result of corporate actions and composition changes, as described below.

Index Maintenance. The Fund Underlying Index is reviewed quarterly. The general aim of the quarterly rebalance of the Fund Underlying Index is to ensure that the selection and weightings of the constituents continues to reflect as closely as possible the Fund Underlying Index's objective of measuring the performance of highly capitalized companies in the gold mining industry. The index sponsor reserves the right to, at any time, change the number of stocks comprising the Fund Underlying Index by adding or deleting one or more stocks, or replacing one or more stocks contained in the Fund Underlying Index with one or more substitute stocks of its choice, if in the index sponsor's discretion such addition, deletion or substitution is necessary or appropriate to maintain the quality and/or character of the Fund Underlying Index. The rebalances become effective at the open of the first trading after the third Friday of March, June, September and December.

Components will be removed from the Fund Underlying Index during the quarterly review if (1) the market capitalization is less than $450 million, or (2) the average daily volume for the previous three months is less than 30,000 shares and the average daily value traded for the previous three months is less than $600,000.

At the time of the quarterly rebalance, the component security quantities will be modified to conform to the following asset diversification requirements:

(1)

the weight of any single component security may not account for more than 20% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index;

(2)

the component securities are split into two subgroups – large and small, which are ranked by their unadjusted market capitalization weight in the Fund Underlying Index. Large securities are defined as having a starting index weight greater than or equal to 5%. Small securities are defined as having a starting index weight below 5%; and

(3)

the final aggregate weight of those component securities which individually represent more than 4.5% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index may not account for more than 45% of the total index value.

The weights of the component securities (taking into account expected component changes and share adjustments) are modified in accordance with the Fund Underlying Index’s diversification rules.

Diversification Rule 1: If any component stock exceeds 20% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index, then all stocks greater than 20% of the Fund Underlying Index are reduced to represent 20% of the value of the Fund Underlying Index. The aggregate amount by which all component stocks are reduced is redistributed proportionately across the remaining stocks that represent less than 20% of the index value. After this redistribution, if any other stock then exceeds 20%, the stock is set to 20% of the index value and the redistribution is repeated. If there is no component stock over 20% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index to start, then Diversification Rule 1 is not executed.

Diversification Rule 2: If there are no components with a starting index weight of 5% or the aggregate weight of the components with a starting index weight of 5% or greater does not exceed 45% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index (in each case, after any adjustments for Diversification Rule 1), then Diversification Rule 2 is not executed. Alternatively, if the components with a starting index weight of 5% or greater exceeds 45% of the total value of the Fund Underlying Index (after any adjustments for Diversification Rule 1), the components are sorted into two groups: (1) large components are components with a starting index weight of 5% or greater and small components are components with a weight of under 5%. The weight of each of the large components will be scaled down proportionately (with a floor of 5%) so that the aggregate weight of the large components will be reduced to represent 45% of the Fund Underlying Index. If any large component falls below a weight equal to the product of 5% and the proportion by which the stocks were scaled down following this distribution, then the weight of the stock is set equal to 5% and the components with weights greater than 5% will be reduced proportionately. The weight of each of the small components will be scaled up proportionately from the redistribution of the large components. If any small component stock exceeds a weight equal to the product of 4.5% and the proportion by which the stocks were scaled down following this distribution, then the weight of the stock is set equal to 4.5%. The redistribution of weight to the remaining stocks is repeated until the entire amount has been redistributed.

The inclusion of new companies in the Fund Underlying Index will typically only occur during the quarterly reconstitutions or rebalances, although there could be exceptions based on a specific corporate action affecting a current constituent. The inclusion of the new company at the quarterly rebalances/reconstitutions will be announced at least six trading days before the effective date of the actual inclusion. Components would be removed from the Fund Underlying Index as a result of periodic corporate actions as well as the results of the quarterly rebalances/reconstitutions. All removals in the quarterly rebalances/reconstitutions will be announced at least six trading days before the effective date of the removal. The new composition of the Fund Underlying Index, including the companies to be a part of the Fund Underlying Index and their corresponding new index shares, will be announced at least six trading days before the effective date.

In case of an event that could affect one or more constituents, the index sponsor will inform the market about the intended treatment of the event in the Fund Underlying Index shortly after the firm details have become available and have been confirmed. When possible, the corporate action will be announced, even if not all information is known, at least one trading day before the effective date of the action. Once the corporate action has been effectuated, the index sponsor will confirm the changes in a separate announcement.

Supplemental Canadian Tax Considerations

In the opinion of Torys LLP, our Canadian federal income tax counsel, the following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires from us as the beneficial owner the securities offered by this document, and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the “Tax Act”), (1) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; (2) deals at arm’s length with us and with any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the purchaser disposes of securities, (3) is not affiliated with us, (4) does not receive any payment of interest on a security in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom we do not deal at arm’s length, (5) does not use or hold securities in a business carried on in Canada and (6) is not a “specified shareholder” of ours as defined in the Tax Act for this purpose or a non-resident person not dealing at arm’s length with such “specified shareholder” (a “Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-Canadian holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

This summary does not address the possible application of the “hybrid mismatch arrangement” rules in section 18.4 of the Tax Act to a Holder (i) that disposes of a security to a person or entity with which it does not deal at arm’s length or to an entity that is a “specified entity” with respect to the Holder or in respect of which the Holder is a “specified entity”, (ii) that disposes of a security under, or in connection with, a “structured arrangement”, or (iii) in respect of which we are a “specified entity” (as such terms are defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act). Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and on counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date of this document (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the securities may be described more particularly when such securities are offered (and then only to the extent material) in a pricing supplement related thereto if they are not addressed by the comments following and, in that event, the following will be superseded thereby to the extent indicated in that pricing supplement. These Canadian federal income tax considerations may also be supplemented, amended and/or replaced in a pricing supplement.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the securities should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Interest paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited by us on a security (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of interest) to a Holder generally will not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax, unless any portion of such interest (other than on a “prescribed obligation,” as defined in the Tax Act for this purpose) is contingent or dependent on the use of or production from property in Canada or is computed by reference to revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price or any other similar criterion or by reference to dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of a corporation (“participating debt interest”). The administrative policy of the Canada Revenue Agency is that interest paid on a debt obligation is not subject to withholding tax unless, in general, it is reasonable to consider that there is a material connection between the index or formula to which any amount payable under the debt obligation is calculated and the profits of the issuer. With respect to any interest on a security, or any portion of the principal amount of a security in excess of the issue price, such interest or principal, as the case may be, paid or credited to a Holder should not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

In the event that a security, interest on which is not exempt from Canadian non-resident withholding tax (other than a security which is an “excluded obligation,” as defined in the Tax Act for this purpose) is redeemed in whole or in part, cancelled, repurchased or purchased by us or any other person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada from a Holder or is otherwise assigned or transferred by a Holder to a person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for an amount which exceeds, generally, the issue price thereof, or in certain cases, the price for which such security was assigned or transferred to the Holder by a person resident or deemed resident in Canada, the excess may be deemed to be interest and may, together with any interest that has accrued on the security to that time, be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax.

If an amount of interest paid by us on a security were to be non-deductible by us in computing our income as a result of the application of subsection 18.4(4) of the Tax Act, such amount of interest would be deemed to have been paid by us as a dividend, and not to have been paid by us as interest, and be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Subsection 18.4(4) would apply only if a payment of interest by us on a security constituted the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises within the meaning of paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Tax Act.

No payment of interest by us on a security should be considered to arise under a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” as no such payment should be considered to arise under or in connection with a “structured arrangement”, both as defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Tax Act, on the basis that (i) based on pricing data and analysis provided to Torys LLP by us in relation to these securities, it should not be reasonable to consider that any economic benefit arising from any “deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” as defined in subsection 18.4(6) of the Tax Act is reflected in the pricing of the securities, and (ii) it should also not be reasonable to consider that the securities were designed to, directly or indirectly, give rise to any “deduction/non-inclusion mismatch”.

United States Federal Tax Considerations

The following discussion supplements, and to the extent applicable supersedes, the discussion in the accompanying product supplement under the caption “United States Federal Tax Considerations.”

In the opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Ashurst LLP, it would generally be reasonable to treat a security with terms described herein as a pre-paid cash-settled derivative contract in respect of the Fund that is treated as an "open transaction" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the terms of the securities require a holder (in the absence of a change in law or an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the securities for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the securities are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) could assert that the securities should be taxed in a manner that is different from that described in the preceding sentence. If this treatment is respected, a U.S. holder should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or payment on maturity in an amount equal to the difference between the amount it received at such time and the amount that it paid for its securities. Subject to the discussion below under “—Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code,” such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the securities for more than one year. Non-U.S. holders should consult the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" in the underlying product supplement.

Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code

It is possible that an investment in the securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code. In that case, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain you would recognize in respect of the securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income (the "Excess Gain"). In addition, an interest charge will also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in gross income inclusions for a U.S. holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the call, sale, exchange or maturity (assuming such income accrued at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of call, sale, exchange or maturity). It is possible, for example, that the amount of the Excess Gain (if any) that would be recharacterized as ordinary income in respect of the securities will equal the excess of (i) any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder in respect of the securities, over (ii) the “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code) the U.S. holder would have had if the U.S. holder had acquired the Fund at fair market value on the original issue date of the securities for an amount equal to the issue price of the securities and sold the Fund upon the date of call, sale, exchange or maturity of the securities at fair market value. To the extent any gain is treated as long-term capital gain after application of the recharacterization rules of Section 1260 of the Code, such gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates that would have been applicable to the net underlying long-term capital gain. The amount of net underlying long-term capital gain may be unclear where a payment at maturity is based on a leverage factor. Unless otherwise established by clear and convincing evidence, the amount of net underlying long-term capital gain is treated as zero.

Under Section 871(m) of the Code, a “dividend equivalent” payment is treated as a dividend from sources within the United States. Such payments generally would be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax if paid to a non-U.S. holder. Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, payments (including deemed payments) with respect to equity-linked instruments (“ELIs”) that are “specified ELIs” may be treated as dividend equivalents if such specified ELIs reference, directly or indirectly, an interest in an “underlying security,” which is generally any interest in an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if a payment with respect to such interest could give rise to a U.S. source dividend. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the U.S. Treasury Department regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1, 2027. Based on our determination that the securities are not delta-one instruments, non-U.S. holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the securities. However, it is possible that the securities could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Fund or the securities (for example, upon the Fund rebalancing), and following such occurrence the securities could be treated as subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments. Non-U.S. holders that enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Fund or the securities should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the securities and their other transactions. If any payments are treated as dividend equivalents subject to withholding, we (or the applicable withholding agent) would be entitled to withhold taxes without being required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

Delivery of the securities will be made against payment therefor on the issue date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, 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 such securities at any time prior to the first business day preceding the issue date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities will not settle in T+1, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement; such purchasers should also consult their own advisors in this regard.
