RNS Number:9951S Bank of Montreal 24 October 2000 Bank of Montreal Announces a Major Regrouping of Businesses and Leadership to Support the Next Stage of Its Growth Strategy TORONTO, October 24, 2000 Tony Comper, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bank of Montreal, announced today that the bank is implementing a major regrouping of its businesses and leadership team to support the next stage of its growth strategy. The changes highlight the bank's intention to accelerate the shift of its business mix to higher-growth and higher-return businesses. Today's announcement follows the April 1999 realignment of the bank into three client-focused groups to support a new growth strategy. At that time, the bank also made significant leadership and organizational changes in the Private Client Group and Investment Banking Group. The realignment announced today focuses on the businesses and leadership in the Personal and Commercial Client Group as well as in Emfisys, the technology and operations group, which takes on responsibility for most of the bank's e-businesses. "This is a strategy-driven and client-focused realignment," said Mr. Comper. "Our aim is to match key resources with key priorities. The bank is allocating priority resources to three key markets: business customers - small business and commercial banking; personal customers - money management and consumer lending; and e-business. "We will allocate resources to businesses where we have proven capability, where the market is growing, emerging or under-served, and where price-to-earnings multiples are attractive. "Maintaining our disciplined approach to cost, capital and risk management, we are funding our priority businesses through accelerated extraction of capital and other resources from low-potential businesses across the enterprise." Highlights of the organizational and leadership changes, effective November 1, 2000, include the following: - Ron Rogers, Vice-Chair, Personal and Commercial Client Group, assumes full responsibility for all businesses in this group. Three vice-chairs previously shared this responsibility. - Al McNally, Vice-Chair, Bank of Montreal, and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Harris Bank, maintains responsibility for the U.S. subsidiary, which continues to be a key strategic asset and a strong U.S. platform for expansion, a key bank priority. - Lloyd Darlington, who leads Emfisys, assumes responsibility for all emerging e-businesses whose potential extends across multiple client segments. His new position is President and CEO, Emfisys and Head, E-Business. "Bank of Montreal already has a decades-old legacy for being first and being great at technology innovation," said Mr. Comper. "This enterprise-wide alignment will help perpetuate this legacy in the era of e-banking. "The marriage of our internal expertise and capability in technology with e-business research and development will ensure an enterprise-wide approach to setting priorities for technology investments. It will enable us to maximize the potential of our existing leadership in selected e-businesses; and will provide more focus and pace to the incubation of new e-businesses." Four new banking divisions focused on customer service have been established. Personal and Commercial Banking Distribution Division All Personal and Commercial Client Group businesses involved in branch and electronic distribution in Canada are being brought together into a new service delivery division under the leadership of Rob Pearce, President, Personal and Commercial Banking Distribution. Mr. Pearce was Executive Vice-President, North American Electronic Banking Services. Small Business Banking Division A new Small Business Banking division is being launched to ensure increased focus on small and medium-sized businesses. Frank Techar, Executive Vice-President, Small Business Banking, takes on leadership of a new division that exclusively targets what Mr. Comper describes as a high priority market. Mr. Techar was previously Senior Vice-President, Small and Medium Enterprises. This new small business division has a mandate to grow the bank's small business portfolio. "Bank of Montreal has a strong franchise in this high-growth, high-return, under-served market in Canada, as does Harris Bank in the U.S. Midwest. We rank second in Canada for small business lending, rapidly closing the gap with our key competitor," said Mr. Comper. Commercial Banking Division A new Commercial Banking division has been established to serve enterprises with annual revenues of $100 million to $300 million. The division will be led by Bob McGlashan, Executive Vice-President, Commercial Banking. Mr. McGlashan was Senior Vice-President, Mid-Market Banking. Since the bank first targeted upper-end mid-market businesses in Canada three years ago, it has boosted lending by 74 per cent while adhering to high standards for credit risk management. This makes Bank of Montreal the leader in this target market in Canada, which is largely untapped. New Personal Banking Products Division All Personal and Commercial Client Group businesses involved in product development and marketing directed at personal banking customers in Canada are being brought together into a new Personal Banking Products division under the leadership of Maurice Hudon, President, Personal Banking Products. Mr. Hudon was Executive Vice-President, Ontario Division. Within the products division, the bank is consolidating all of its consumer lending products, including mortgages, under the leadership of Margaret Barrett, Executive Vice-President, Consumer Lending. Now part of Personal Banking Products division are Mortgages and Consumer Finance (now Consumer Lending), Everyday Banking, Insurance and Corporate Marketing. Other Appointments and Reporting Changes Kathleen O'Neill is appointed Executive Vice-President, mbanx Direct and Client Value Management, reporting to Mr. Pearce. Ms. O'Neill was Senior Vice-President, Consumer Finance. Pam Robertson is appointed Executive Vice-President, Ontario Division, reporting to Mr. Pearce. Her previous position was Senior Vice-President, Prairies Division. Marnie Kinsley is appointed Executive Vice-President, E-Business, Emfisys and E-Business, reporting to Mr. Darlington. Her previous position was Executive Vice-President, mbanx Direct, Personal and Commercial Client Group. Barry Gilmour is appointed Deputy Group Head and Chief Operating Officer, Emfisys, Emfisys and E-Business, continuing to report to Mr. Darlington. His previous position was Executive Vice-President, Systems, Emfisys. Kathy Lisson is appointed Executive Vice-President, Information Technology Planning and Strategy, Emfisys and E-Business, continuing to report to Mr. Darlington. Her previous position was Executive Vice-President, Information Technology Planning and Strategy, Emfisys. Karen Maidment, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, reports to the Chairman. Rose Patten, Executive Vice-President, Office of Strategic Management, reports to the Chairman. Also reporting to the Chairman will be the head of human resources. That position is currently vacant and a search is underway. Two Vice-Chairs Retiring Mr. Comper also announced the retirement of Jeff Chisholm, Vice-Chair, Personal and Commercial Client Group and Keith Dorricott, Vice-Chair, Corporate Services. Both vice-chairs will retire on December 31, 2000. Mr. Chisholm joined Chicago-based Harris Bank in 1971. Harris was acquired by Bank of Montreal in 1984. He has held key roles as Treasurer of the bank and has served as a Vice-Chair since 1990, leading Corporate and Institutional Financial Services and then Electronic Financial Services before moving to his most recent position in 1999. "With Jeff Chisholm's retirement an era comes to an end at the bank," said Mr. Comper. "During his watch Bank of Montreal developed industry leadership in e-banking and e-business. He has played an active role in ongoing learning and education, both within the bank and outside, and has been a strong supporter of community affairs." Mr. Dorricott came to the bank in 1983 as a Chartered Accountant having served as a partner at a major accounting firm. He was Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer until his appointment as Vice-Chair in 1992. "During Keith Dorricott's stewardship the bank's Corporate Services group became a centre of expertise and a place for cross-functional collaboration and co-operation. He contributed to the establishment of the bank's pivotal Office of Strategic Management. One of his greatest accomplishments was encouraging people to do their best work," said Mr. Comper. Bank of Montreal, Canada's first bank, is a highly diversified financial services institution. The bank operates more than 30 lines of business within its group of companies, including BMO Nesbitt Burns, one of Canada's largest full-service investment firms, and Chicago-based Harris Bank, a major U.S. mid-west financial services provider.
