New Issue: RBC sells $5 million trigger phoenix autocallables tied to S&P, Russell

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, April 12 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $5 million of trigger phoenix autocallable notes due July 13, 2017 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon of 8.6% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its trigger level, 70% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any. Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are the agents.
