New Issue: RBC sells $3.32 million issuer callable contingent coupon barrier notes tied to four indexes

By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Jan. 31 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $3.32 million issuer callable contingent coupon barrier notes due July 29, 2025 tied to the S&P 500 index, the Nasdaq-100 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly contingent coupon at an annual rate of 5.25% if all indexes close above their 60% coupon barrier on any observation date for that quarter.

After one year, the notes may be called at par plus any coupon due at the option of the issuer on any quarterly coupon payment date.

Investors will receive par plus the contingent coupon if the final level of the least performing index is above its 60% trigger level.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the losses of the least performing index.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
