New Issue: RBC prices $645,000 9% contingent coupon autocalls on Apple, Facebook

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 1 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $645,000 of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due July 30, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the common stocks of Apple Inc. and Facebook, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9% if each stock closes at or above its 70% 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 level on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either stock finishes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing stock.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
