By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 28 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $4.48 million of contingent coupon callable yield notes Aug. 31, 2016 linked to MetLife, Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.5% if the stock closes at or above its barrier level, 75% of the initial level, on an observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be callable at par plus any contingent coupon on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the stock finishes at or below its 75% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Barclays are the underwriters.
