New Issue: RBC prices $329,000 contingent coupon autocallables linked to Ford, GM

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 23 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $329,000 of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due May 23, 2019 linked to the lesser performing of the common stocks of Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9.5% per year if each stock closes at or above its trigger price, 65% of its initial price, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning Nov. 20, 2017, the notes will be called at par if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either stock finishes below its trigger price, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines from its initial level.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
