By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 15 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $3.34 million of contingent income callable index-linked notes due April 13, 2017 linked to the worst 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 6% if each index closes at or above its barrier, 70% of its initial level, on an observation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable on any quarterly observation date at par plus accrued interest.

The payout at maturity is par unless either index closes below its 70% barrier level, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the worst performing index, with full exposure to losses.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
