New Issue: RBC sells $2 million 10.75% callable reverse convertibles on Citigroup

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Feb. 2 - Royal Bank of Canada priced $2 million of 10.75% callable reverse convertible notes due Aug. 3, 2012 linked to the common stock of Citigroup Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be automatically called at par if the closing share price is greater than or equal to the initial share price on any monthly call date.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par in cash unless the final share price is less than 60% of the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of Citigroup shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price or, at the issuer's option, the cash equivalent.
