New Issue: RBC prices $6.1 million 11.25% issuer callable reverse convertibles linked to three stocks

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 7 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $6.1 million of 11.25% issuer callable reverse convertible notes due Oct. 19, 2015 linked to the worst performing of Baker Hughes Inc., Chevron Corp. and the Halliburton Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable at maturity.

The notes will be called at par plus accrued interest if each stock closes at or above its initial price on any trading day beginning on Feb. 3, 2015.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par in cash unless the price of any stock falls below its barrier price, 70% of its initial price, during the life of the notes and finishes below its initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price.

The initial estimated value of the notes as of the pricing date is $959.10 per $1,000 principal amount, which is less than the par price to the public.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
