RBC plans Stars linked to basket of S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50 indexes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., March 31 - Royal Bank of Canada plans to price 0% Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities due May 2015 tied to a basket of two equally weighted indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index.

If the basket closes at or above the initial level on any observation date, the notes will be called at par plus a call premium of 5% to 9% per year. The observation dates will be in October 2014, January 2015 and April 2015.

Investors will receive par if the basket falls by up to 5% and will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the basket beyond 5%.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the underwriter.

The exact deal terms will be set at pricing.

The notes will price in April and settle in May.
