New Issue: RBC prices $865,000 contingent coupon autocallables linked to biotech ETF

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 13 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $865,000 of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due Feb. 13, 2020 linked to the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8% a year if the ETF closes at or above its trigger price, 65% of its initial price, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning Feb. 12, 2018, the notes will be called at par if the ETF closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the ETF finishes below its trigger price, in which case investors will be exposed to the ETF’s decline from its initial share price.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter.
