New Issue: RBC prices $4 million 7.2% autocallable RevCons tied to Apple, Microsoft

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 10 - Royal Bank of Canada priced $4 million of 7.2% autocallable reverse convertible notes due Feb. 13, 2013 linked to the worst-performing of Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be automatically called at par if both stocks close at or above their initial share prices on any monthly call date.

If the notes are not called and either stock finishes below its barrier price, 65% of its initial price, then the payout at maturity will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by that stock's initial share price or, at RBC's option, a cash amount equal to the value of those shares. Otherwise, the payout will be par.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
