New Issue: RBC prices $940,000 contingent coupon callable yield notes tied to indexes, ETF

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Dec. 26 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $940,000 of contingent coupon callable yield notes due Dec. 22, 2017 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index, the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the iShares MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon if each underlying closes at or above its barrier level, 65% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter. The contingent coupon rate is 8.3% per year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any underlying finishes below its barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing underlying.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning on March 24.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Barclays are the underwriters.
