New Issue: RBC prices $1 million contingent income callable notes linked to Russell 2000, S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 22 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $1 million of contingent income callable notes due Dec. 22, 2022 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.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 6.25% if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 60% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par on any quarterly call date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
