New Issue: RBC prices $775,000 5.75% contingent coupon autocalls tied to indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 2 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $775,000 of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due Sept. 21, 2023 linked to the Dow Jones industrial average and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 5.75% if each index closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 60% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
