New York, May 29 - Royal Bank of Canada priced $9.95 million of phoenix autocallable notes due June 11, 2014 linked to the common stock Ford Motor Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Ford stock closes at or above the trigger price - 80% of the initial share price - on a quarterly observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon for that quarter at the rate of 10.71%. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid that quarter.
