New Issue: RBC prices $2 million 11% reverse convertibles linked to worst-performing of three stocks

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 3 - Royal Bank of Canada priced $2 million of 11% annualized reverse convertible notes due Sept. 8, 2011 linked to the worst-performing of three stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The stocks are American Express Co., Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the final price of any of the three stocks is less than 65% of its initial share price, in which case the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by that stock's initial share price.

The notes will be automatically called at par if all three stocks close at or above their initial share prices on June 1, 2011.
