New Issue: RBC amends $607,000 25.5% reverse convertibles linked to General Motors

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Feb. 12 - Royal Bank of Canada corrected the initial share price in its $607,000 offering of 25.5% reverse convertible notes due May 13, 2008 linked to General Motors Corp. common stock in a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.

The initial price of the stock is $25.80. When pricing was first announced in a 424B2 filed on Monday, the initial share price was given as $28.50.

If General Motors stock falls below the protection price -75% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be a number of General Motors shares equal to par divided by the initial share price.

Otherwise, the payout will be par in cash.

RBC Capital Markets Corp. is the agent.
