New Issue: RBC prices $4.5 million contingent coupon barrier autocallables linked to indexes

By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Nov. 27 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $4.5 million of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due Nov. 17, 2020 linked to the least 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 pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.1% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 80% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each index closes above its initial level on any observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon due unless either index finishes below its 75% trigger level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the lesser-performing index from its initial level.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
