New Issue: RBC prices $1.77 million contingent coupon barrier notes tied to indexes, ETF

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 2 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $1.77 million of contingent coupon barrier notes due Oct. 29, 2020 linked to the Euro Stoxx 50 index, the Nikkei 225 index and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 10.46% if each ETF of index closes at or above the 70% coupon barrier level on the observation date for that quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the coupon unless any asset finishes below the 70% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing ETF or index.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as placement agents.
