New Issue: RBC prices $4.7 million 7.7% contingent yield trigger autocalls tied to SPDR S&P Bank

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 17 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $4.7 million of trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due May 7, 2020 linked to the SPDR S&P Bank exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.7% if the underlying fund closes at or above its 80% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called if the fund closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the fund finishes below its 80% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are the agents.
