New Issue: RBC prices $1.01 million 5.3% contingent coupon barrier callables tied to indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 23 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $1.01 million of issuer callable contingent coupon barrier notes due July 24, 2023 linked to the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 5.3% if each underlying index closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on any determination date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par on any coupon payment date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below the 60% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
