Key Dates
|
☐ |
Income — Regardless of the performance of the Reference Stock, we will pay you a monthly coupon. In exchange for receiving the monthly coupon payment on the Notes, you
are accepting the risk of receiving shares of the Reference Stock at maturity that are worth less than your principal amount and our credit risk for all payments under the Notes.
|
☐ |
Automatically Callable — If the closing price of the Reference Stock on any quarterly Observation Date is greater than or equal to the initial underlying price, we will
automatically call the Notes and pay you the principal amount per Note plus the applicable coupon payment for that date and no further amounts will be owed to you. If the Notes are not called, you may have downside market exposure to
the Reference Stock at maturity.
|
☐ |
Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity — If the Notes are not previously called and the price of the Reference Stock does not close below the
conversion price on the final valuation date, we will pay you the principal amount at maturity, and you will not participate in any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Reference Stock. If the price of the Reference Stock
closes below the conversion price on the final valuation date, we will deliver to you at maturity the share delivery amount for each of your Notes, which is expected to be worth less than your principal amount and may have no value at
all. The contingent repayment of principal only applies if you hold the Notes until maturity. Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to our creditworthiness.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE NOTES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY, AND THE NOTES CAN
HAVE THE FULL DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK OF THE REFERENCE STOCK. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF ROYAL BANK OF CANADA. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE NOTES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE
NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE NOTES.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE , THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING
ON PAGE PS-4 OF THE PRODUCT PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. ABYN-2 AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE S-2 OF THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NOTES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES,
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR NOTES. IF THE NOTES ARE NOT CALLED, YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT.

|
||
Quarterly:

|
Key Risks
|
♦ |
Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss — The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily pay the
full principal amount of the Notes at maturity. At maturity, if the Notes have not been previously called, we will only pay you the principal amount of your Notes if the final underlying price of the Reference Stock is greater than or
equal to the conversion price. If the final underlying price of the Reference Stock is below the conversion price, we will deliver to you a number of shares of the applicable Reference Stock equal to the share delivery amount for each
Note you then own. Therefore, if the Notes are not automatically called and the final underlying price of the Reference Stock is below the conversion price, the value of the share delivery amount will decline by a proportionately higher
percentage for each additional percentage the Reference Stock declines below the conversion price. For example, as the conversion price for each of the Notes is 85% of the initial underlying price, if the final underlying price is less
than the conversion price, you will lose approximately 1.1765% of your $1,000 principal amount Note at maturity for each additional 1% that the final underlying price is less than the conversion price, as measured from the initial
underlying price. If you receive shares of the applicable Reference Stock at maturity, you will be exposed to any further decrease in the price of the Reference Stock from the final valuation date to the maturity date, and the value of
those shares is expected to be less than the principal amount of the Notes or may have no value at all.
|
♦ |
The Coupon Rate Per Annum Payable on the Notes Will Reflect in Part the Volatility of the Reference Stock, and May Not Be Sufficient to Compensate You for the Risk of Loss at Maturity — “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of the Reference Stock. The greater the volatility of the Reference Stock, the more likely it is that the price of that stock could
close below its conversion price on the final valuation date, which would result in the loss of some or all of your principal. This risk will generally be reflected in a higher coupon rate per annum payable on the Notes than the interest
rate payable on our conventional debt securities with a comparable term and/or a lower conversion price than on otherwise comparable securities. Therefore a relatively higher coupon rate may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, a
relatively lower conversion price may not necessarily indicate that the Notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity. However, while the coupon rate and the conversion price were set on the Trade Date, the
Reference Stocks’ volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase. The price of the Reference Stock could fall sharply as of the final valuation date, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
|
♦ |
The Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only at Maturity — If the Notes are not automatically called, you should be willing to hold
your Notes to maturity. If you are able to sell your Notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may have to do so at a loss relative to your initial investment, even if the price of the Reference Stock is above the
conversion price.
|
♦ |
The Notes Are Subject to Reinvestment Risk — If your Notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date, no further payments will be
owed to you under the Notes. Therefore, because the Notes could be called as early as the first Observation Date, the holding period over which you would receive the relevant coupon rate as specified on the cover page, could be as little
as three months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are automatically called prior to the
Maturity Date.
|
♦ |
An Investment in the Notes Is Subject to Our Credit Risk — The Notes are our unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations, and are not, either
directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payments to be made on the Notes, including payments in respect of an automatic call, coupon payments and any repayment of principal provided at maturity, depends on our
ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts
owed to you under the terms of the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
♦
|
The Notes Will Be Subject to Risks, Including Non-Payment in Full, Under Canadian Bank Resolution Powers — Under Canadian bank
resolution powers, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ("CDIC") may, in circumstances where we have ceased, or are about to cease, to be viable, assume temporary control or ownership over us and may be granted broad powers by one
or more orders of the Governor in Council (Canada), including the power to sell or dispose of all or a part of our assets, and the power to carry out or cause us to carry out a transaction or a series of transactions the purpose of
which is to restructure our business. See "Description of Debt Securities — Canadian Bank Resolution Powers" in the
|
♦ |
Holders of the Notes Should Not Expect to Participate in any Appreciation of the Reference Stock, and Your Potential Return on the Notes Is Expected to Be Limited to the Coupon
Payments Paid on the Notes — Despite being exposed to the risk of a decline in the price of the Reference Stock, you should not expect to participate in any appreciation in the price of the
applicable Reference Stock. Any positive return on the Notes is expected to be limited to the coupon rate per annum. Accordingly, if the Notes are called prior to maturity, you will not participate in any of the Reference Stocks’
appreciation and your return will be limited to the principal amount plus the Coupons paid up to and including the Call Settlement Date. Similarly, if the Notes are not called prior to the final valuation date and the final underlying
price is greater than the initial underlying price, your return on the Notes at maturity may be less than your return on a direct investment in the Reference Stock or on a similar security that allows you to participate in the
appreciation of the price of the Reference Stock. In contrast, if the final underlying price is less than the conversion price, you will be exposed to the decline of the Reference Stock and we will deliver to you at maturity for each Note
you own shares of the Reference Stock which are expected to be worth less than the principal amount as of the maturity date, in which case you may lose your entire investment. As a result, any positive return on the Notes is expected to
be limited to the coupon rate per annum. In addition, if the Notes have not been previously called and if the price of the applicable Reference Stock is less than its initial underlying price, as the maturity date approaches and the
remaining number of Observation Dates decreases, the Notes are less likely to be automatically called, as there will be a shorter period of time remaining for the price of that Reference Stock to increase to its initial underlying price.
|
♦ |
There Can Be No Assurance that the Investment View Implicit in the Notes Will Be Successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the
extent to which the price of any Reference Stock will rise or fall. The closing price of each Reference Stock will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect that Reference
Stock. You should be willing to accept the downside risks of owning equities in general and the applicable Reference Stock in particular, and the risk of losing some or all of your initial investment.
|
♦ |
The Tax Treatment of the Notes Is Uncertain — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of an investment in the Notes are uncertain. You
should consult your tax adviser about your tax situation.
|
♦ |
The Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Less than the Price to the Public — The initial estimated value for each of the Notes that is set
forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement is less than the public offering price you pay for the Notes, and does not represent a minimum price at which we, RBCCM or any of our other affiliates would be willing to purchase the
Notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. If you attempt to sell the Notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for them and the initial estimated value. This is due to, among other
things, changes in the price of the Reference Stock, the borrowing rate we pay to issue securities of this kind, and the inclusion in the price to public of the underwriting discount, and our estimated profit and the costs relating to our
hedging of the Notes. These factors, together with various credit, market and economic factors over the term of the Notes, are expected to reduce the price at which you may be able to sell the Notes in any secondary market and will affect
the value of the Notes in complex and unpredictable ways. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell your Notes prior to maturity may be less than the price
to public, as any such sale price would not be expected to include the underwriting discount and our estimated profit and the costs relating to our hedging of the Notes. In addition, any price at which you may sell the Notes is likely to
reflect customary bid-ask spreads for similar trades. In addition to bid-ask spreads, the value of the Notes determined for any secondary market price is expected to be based on a secondary market rate rather than the internal borrowing
rate used to price the Notes and determine the initial estimated value. As a result, the secondary market price will be less than if the internal borrowing rate was used. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.
|
♦
|
Our Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is an Estimate Only, Calculated as of the Time the Terms of the Notes Were Set — The initial
estimated value of each of the Notes is based on the value of our obligation to make the payments on the Notes, together with the mid-market value of the derivative embedded in the terms of the Notes. See “Structuring the Notes”
below. Our estimate is based on a variety of assumptions, including our credit spreads, expectations as to dividends, interest rates and volatility, and the expected term of the Notes. These assumptions are based on certain forecasts
about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. Other entities may value the Notes or similar securities at a price that is significantly different than we do.
|
♦ |
The Notes Are Expected to Have a Limited Trading Market — The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. RBCCM intends to offer to
purchase the Notes in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to
make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which RBCCM is willing to buy the Notes.
|
♦ |
The Terms of the Notes at Issuance and Their Market Value Prior to Maturity Will Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors — Many economic
and market factors influenced the terms of the Notes at issuance and their value prior to maturity. These factors are similar in some ways to those that could affect the value of a combination of instruments that might be used to
replicate the payments on the Notes, including a combination of a bond with one or more options or other derivative instruments. For the market value of the Notes, we expect that, generally, the price of the applicable Reference Stock on
any day will affect the value of the Notes more than any other single factor. However, you should not expect the value of the Notes in the secondary market to vary in proportion to changes in the price of the Reference Stock. The value of
the Notes will be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
|
♦ |
the actual and expected volatility of the price of the Reference Stock;
|
♦ |
the time remaining to maturity of the Notes;
|
♦ |
the dividend rate on the Reference Stock;
|
♦ |
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
♦ |
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
|
♦ |
the occurrence of certain events relating to the Reference Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the terms of the Notes; and
|
♦ |
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
|
♦ |
An Investment in the Notes Is Subject to Single Stock Risk — The price of the Reference Stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors
specific to that Reference Stock and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market
factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the respective Reference Stock issuer and the
Reference Stock for your Notes. For additional information about each Reference Stock and their respective issuers, please see “Information about the Reference Stocks” in this pricing supplement and the respective Reference Stock issuer’s
SEC filings referred to in those sections. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the applicable Reference Stock issuer with the SEC.
|
♦ |
Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Reference Stock — The return on your Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you
actually owned the Reference Stock. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions over the term of the Notes. As an owner of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or any
other rights that holders of the Reference Stock may have. Further, the Reference Stock may appreciate over the term of the Notes and you will not participate in any such appreciation, which could be significant, even though you may be
exposed to the decline of the Reference Stock at maturity.
|
♦
|
There Is No Affiliation Between the Respective Reference Stock Issuers and Us, UBS and Our Respective Affiliates, and We Are Not Responsible for Any Disclosure by Those Issuers — We, UBS and our respective affiliates are not affiliated with
|
♦ |
The Anti-Dilution Protection for the Reference Stock Is Limited — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the initial underlying price
and the conversion price for certain events affecting the shares of the applicable Reference Stock. However, the calculation agent will not be required to make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Reference Stock.
If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the Notes and the payments on the Notes may be materially and adversely affected.
|
♦ |
We and Our Affiliates Will Have Potential Conflicts of Interest in Connection with the Notes — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles
in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your
interests as an investor in the Notes.
|
♦
|
The Activities of Royal Bank of Canada and UBS May Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes — Trading or other transactions by us, UBS and
our respective affiliates in the applicable Reference Stock, or in futures, options, exchange-traded funds or other derivative products on the Reference Stock may adversely affect the market value of the Reference Stock, the closing
price of the Reference Stock, and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
|
♦
|
Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by RBCCM, UBS or Their Respective Affiliates May Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes — RBCCM, UBS or their respective affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations as to the applicable Reference Stock that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the Notes, and which
may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the value of the Reference Stock, and therefore, the market value of the Notes.
