New Issue: RBC prices $6.7 million trigger autocallable contingent yield notes on ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, April 26 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $6.7 million of 0% trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due April 27, 2020 linked to the iShares Russell 2000 exchange-traded fund and the iShares MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7% if each ETF closes at or above its barrier, 70.9% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each ETF closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either ETF finishes below the downside threshold level, 70.9% of the initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline of the worse performing ETF.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Financial Services Inc. are the agents.
