New York, Dec. 9 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $3,393,900 of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 10, 2015 linked to GNC Holdings, Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If GNC shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 75% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment of 2.5% for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if GNC shares close at or above the initial share price on any of the first three quarterly determination dates.
If the stock finishes at or above the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon.
Otherwise, investors will receive a number of GNC shares equal to $10 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer’s option, the cash equivalent.
