This Form 6-K is a report of a Foreign Private Issuer filed by Bank of Montreal for the month of December 2021, dated December 3, 2021. The filing serves primarily to incorporate by reference specific information into various effective SEC registration statements (Forms F-3 and S-8).
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document contains an exhibit titled "Consolidated Capitalization of Bank of Montreal" (Exhibit 99.1), but the numerical data within that exhibit is not included in the provided text.
Material Changes
The filing text does not disclose material changes versus prior comparable periods. It functions as a procedural filing to update registration statements rather than a standalone financial report.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific financial data contained in Exhibit 99.1 (Consolidated Capitalization), as the text only lists the exhibit title.
- Review the referenced Registration Statements (e.g., Form F-3 File No. 333-237342) to understand the context of the incorporation by reference.
- Confirm the latest audited financial results in the company's most recent Form 40-F or annual report, as this 6-K does not contain them.
