New Issue: RBC prices $6.25 million market-linked step-up autocallable notes on two indexes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., July 10 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $6.25 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step up notes due July 28, 2017 linked to two indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a weight of 85% and the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a weight of 15%.

The notes will be called at par plus an annualized call premium of 8% if the basket closes at or above its initial level on either annual call date.

If the basket finishes at or above the step-up value – 120.5% of the initial level – the payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return.

If the basket finishes below the step-up level but at or above the initial level, the payout will be par plus the step-up return of 20.5%.

Investors will receive par if the basket falls by up to 5% and will be exposed to losses beyond 5%.
