Tacoma, Wash., July 22 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $1.28 million of phoenix autocallable notes due Aug. 5, 2015 linked to the registered shares of Weatherford International plc, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 13.25% per year if Weatherford shares close at or above the trigger price, 80% of the initial share price, on the observation date for that quarter. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the shares close at or above the initial price on any quarterly observation date other than the final observation date.
If the notes are not called and the shares finish at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final share price is less than the initial share price.
RBC Capital Markets LLC is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as agent.
