New Issue: RBC sells $2.6 million 12.35% contingent coupon callables tied to funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, July 18 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $2.6 million of callable contingent coupon barrier notes due July 16, 2020 linked to the least performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund and SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 12.35% if each fund closes at or above its 65% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any fund finishes below its 65% trigger level, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the worst performing fund with full exposure to any losses.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
