New Issue: RBC sells $1.29 million contingent coupon barrier autocallables on S&P, biotech ETF

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Aug. 10 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $1.29 million of autocallable contingent coupon barrier notes due Aug. 6, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 8% if each asset closes at or above its trigger level, 61% of its initial level, on the review date for that quarter.

After one year, the notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless any asset finishes below the 61% trigger level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the lesser performing asset’s final level is less than its initial level.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent.
