DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES; TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-168023) (the “Registration Statement”), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“M&I”), and became effective on July 8, 2010. The Registration Statement registered 14,000,000 shares of M&I’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) for issuance pursuant to the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed for the sole purpose of terminating the Registration Statement and deregistering any unissued shares previously registered under the Registration Statement and issuable under the Plan.

On July 5, 2011, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 17, 2010, as supplemented and amended, by and among M&I, Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and Mike Merger Sub, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BMO (“Merger Sub”), M&I merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity (the “Initial Merger”). Immediately thereafter, Merger Sub merged with and into Harris Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation and Merger Sub’s direct parent (“BFC”), with BFC as the surviving corporation, which was renamed “BMO Financial Corp.” pursuant to the certificate of merger (collectively with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”).

As a result of the Mergers, BFC, as successor to M&I by virtue of the Mergers, has terminated all offerings of M&I’s securities pursuant to its registration statements, including the Registration Statement. BFC hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all unissued shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
