Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 18 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $719,000 of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due Nov. 18, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the common stocks of Biogen Inc. and Gilead Sciences Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 10.75% per year if each stock closes at or above its trigger price, 60% of its initial share price, on the observation date for that quarter.
Beginning May 15, 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly observation date.
The payout at maturity will be par unless the lesser-performing stock finishes below its trigger price, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing stock declines from the initial share price.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
