New Issue: RBC prices $6.91 million 7.2% callable reverse convertibles linked to three stocks

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Aug. 5 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $6.91 million of 7.2% callable reverse convertible notes due Nov. 12, 2015 linked to the worst performing of three equity securities, Merck & Co., Inc., Yahoo! Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes will be called at par if each stock closes at or above the respective initial share price on any quarterly call date beginning on Oct. 31.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par in cash unless the price of any stock falls below its barrier price, 65% of its initial price, during the life of the notes and the worst-performing stock finishes below its initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 principal amount divided by the initial price.
