By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 30 - Royal Bank of Canada priced $2.86 million of 7.6% callable reverse convertible notes due Nov. 12, 2015 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Gilead Sciences, Inc. and eBay Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly.
