New Issue: RBC prices $4.06 million contingent coupon barrier autocallables tied to four tech stocks
By Susanna Moon
Chicago, March 24 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $4.06 million of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due March 20, 2020 linked to the common stocks of Amazon.com, Inc., Facebook, Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Netflix Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 10.8% if each stock closes at or above the 50% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par if each stock closes at or above its initial price on any quarterly observation date after one year.
The payout at maturity will be par unless any stock finishes below the 50% trigger level, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the worst performing stock equal to $1,000 principal amount divided by the initial share price, or, at the issuer’s option, the cash equivalent.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
