New Issue: RBC sells $7.16 million contingent income autocallables on Blackstone

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., March 2 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $7.16 million of contingent income autocallable securities due March 1, 2018 linked to the common units of the Blackstone Group LP, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent coupon each quarter at an annualized rate of 10.65% if Blackstone units close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial unit price, on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Blackstone units close at or above the initial unit price on May 24, 2017, Aug. 24, 2017 or Nov. 24, 2017.

If the final unit price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC is the agent. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a dealer.
