New Issue: RBC sells $2.09 million contingent coupon barrier autocalls on Amazon, Alibaba

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, May 1 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $2.09 million of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due April 29, 2022 linked to the least performing of the stocks of Amazon.com, Inc. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.5% if both stocks close at or above their coupon barriers, 60% of their initial prices, on the applicable quarterly observation date.

The notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial price on any quarterly observation date starting on Oct. 28.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either stock finishes below its 60% trigger price, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the least-performing stock’s final price is less than its initial price.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
