Investment Description

Features
|
☐ |
Contingent Coupon — We will pay a quarterly Contingent Coupon payment if the closing price of the Underlying on the applicable Coupon Observation Date is greater
than or equal to the Coupon Barrier. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for the quarter.
|
☐ |
Automatically Callable — We will automatically call the Notes and pay you the principal amount of your Notes plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due for the
applicable quarter if the closing price of the Underlying on any quarterly Call Observation Date (beginning 6 months after the Trade Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price. If the Notes are not called, investors will
have the potential for downside equity market risk at maturity.
|
☐ |
Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity — If by maturity the Notes have not been called and the price of the Underlying does not close below the Downside
Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, we will repay your principal amount per Note at maturity. However, if the closing price of the Underlying closes below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, we will pay less
than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss on your initial investment that is proportionate to the decline in the price of the Underlying from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. 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 OF THE
NOTES AT MATURITY, AND THE NOTES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING ONE OF OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS. 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 7 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-4 OF
THE PRODUCT PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND PAGE S-3 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. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

Key Risks |
♦ |
You may lose some or all of the principal amount at maturity — The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily repay the full principal
amount of the Notes at maturity. If the Notes are not called, we will repay you the principal amount of your Notes in cash only if the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold, and will only make that payment at
maturity. If the Notes are not called and the Final Price is less than the Downside Threshold, you will lose some or all of your initial investment in an amount proportionate to the decline in the price of the Underlying.
|
♦ |
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 Underlying is above the Downside Threshold.
|
♦ |
You may not receive any Contingent Coupons — We will not necessarily make periodic Contingent Coupon payments on the Notes. If the closing price of the Underlying on a
Coupon Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, we will not pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to that Coupon Observation Date. If the closing price of the Underlying is less than the Coupon Barrier on each of the Coupon
Observation Dates, we will not pay you any Contingent Coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your Notes. Generally, this non-payment of the Contingent Coupon coincides with a greater risk of principal
loss on your Notes. Accordingly, if we do not pay the Contingent Coupon on the maturity date, you will incur a loss of principal, because the Final Price will be less than the Downside Threshold.
|
♦ |
The call feature and the Contingent Coupon feature limit your potential return — The return potential of the Notes is limited to the pre-specified Contingent Coupon
Rate, regardless of the appreciation of the Underlying. In addition, the total return on the Notes will vary based on the number of Coupon Observation Dates on which the Contingent Coupon becomes payable prior to maturity or an
automatic call. Further, if the Notes are called due to the automatic call feature, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons or any other payment in respect of any Coupon Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date.
Since the Notes could be called as early as the first Call Observation Date, the total return on the Notes could be minimal. If the Notes are not called, you may be subject to the full downside performance of the Underlying, even though
your potential return is limited to the Contingent Coupon Rate. Generally, the longer the Notes are outstanding, the less likely it is that they will be automatically called due to the decline in the price of the Underlying and the
shorter time remaining for the price of the Underlying to recover. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be less than the return on a direct investment in the Underlying or on a similar security that allows you to
participate in the appreciation of the price of the Underlying.
|
♦ |
Owning the Notes is not the same as owning the Underlying — The return on your Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlying.
As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Underlying would have, and any such dividends will not be incorporated in the
determination of the amounts payable on the Notes.
|
♦ |
The Contingent Coupon Rate reflects in part the volatility of the Underlying 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 Underlying. The greater the volatility of the Underlying, the more likely it is that the price of that Underlying could close below the Downside Threshold on the Final
Valuation Date. This risk is generally reflected in a higher Contingent Coupon Rate for the Notes than the interest rate payable on our conventional debt securities with a comparable term. However, while the Contingent Coupon is a fixed
amount, the Underlying’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase. The price of the Underlying could fall sharply as of the Final Valuation Date, which could result in missed Contingent Coupon
payments and a significant loss of your principal amount.
|
♦ |
The Notes may be called early and are subject to reinvestment risk — The Notes will be called automatically if the closing price of the Underlying is greater than or
equal to the Initial Price on any Call Observation Date. In the event that the Notes are called prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds at a comparable rate of return for a similar level
of risk. To the extent you are able to reinvest your proceeds in an investment comparable to the
|
♦ |
The Notes are subject to our credit risk — The Notes are subject to our credit risk, and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of
the Notes. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings
or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes. If we default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under 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 accompanying prospectus for a description of the Canadian bank resolution powers, including the bail-in regime. If the CDIC were to take action under the
Canadian bank resolution powers with respect to us, holders of the Notes could be exposed to losses.
|
♦ |
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
the Underlying will rise or fall. The closing price of the Underlying will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the Underlying and the stocks that it holds. You should be
willing to accept the downside risks of owning equities in general and the Underlying 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 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 Underlying, 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 or 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 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 were influenced by, 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 will influence 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 value of the Underlying 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 values of the Underlying. The value of the
Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
|
♦ |
the actual and expected volatility of the price of the Underlying;
|
♦ |
the time remaining to maturity of the Notes;
|
♦ |
the dividend rate on the Underlying;
|
♦ |
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 Underlying 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 risks relating to the home builder sector—The stocks held by the Underlying are issued by companies engaged in the home builder
sector. Accordingly, an investment in the Notes is subject to the specific risks of companies that operate in the home builder sector. An investment in the Notes may accordingly be more risky than a security linked to a more diversified
set of securities.
|
♦ |
The policies of the Underlying’s investment adviser could affect the amount payable on the Notes and their market value—The policies of the Underlying’s investment
adviser concerning the management of the Underlying, additions, deletions or substitutions of the securities held by the Underlying could affect the market price of shares of the Underlying and, therefore, the amounts payable on the
Notes and the market value of the Notes prior to maturity. The amount payable on the Notes and their market value could also be affected if the Underlying investment adviser changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in
which it manages the Underlying, or if the Underlying investment adviser discontinues or suspends maintenance of the Underlying, in which case it may become difficult to determine the market value of the Notes. The Underlying’s
investment adviser has no connection to the offering of the Notes and has no obligations to you as an investor in the Notes in making its decisions regarding the Underlying.
|
♦ |
Historical prices of the Underlying should not be taken as an indication of its future prices during the term of the Notes—The trading prices of the Underlying will
determine the value of the Notes at any given time. However, it is impossible to predict whether the price of the Underlying will rise or fall, and trading prices of the common stocks held by the Underlying will be influenced by complex
and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the issuers of those stocks, and therefore, the price of the Underlying.
|
♦ |
The Underlying and its underlying index are different—The performance of the Underlying may not exactly replicate the performance of the underlying index, because the
Underlying will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the underlying index. It is also possible that the performance of the Underlying may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances
diverge significantly from the performance of the underlying index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the Underlying or due to
other circumstances. The Underlying may use futures contracts, options, swap agreements, currency forwards and repurchase agreements in seeking performance that corresponds to the underlying index and in managing cash flows.
|
♦ |
An investment in the Notes is subject to management risk—The Underlying is not managed according to traditional methods of “active” investment management, which involve
the buying and selling of securities based on economic, financial and market analysis and investment judgment. Instead, the Underlying, utilizing a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment
performance of its underlying index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicate the underlying index. Therefore, unless a specific security is removed from the underlying index, the Underlying generally would not
sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. In addition, the Underlying is subject to the risk that the investment strategy of the Underlying’s investment advisor may not produce the intended results.
|
♦ |
Changes affecting the Underlying could impact the payments on the Notes —The policies of the index sponsor concerning additions, deletions and substitutions of the
stocks included in the Underlying and the manner in which the index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting those stocks included in the Underlying may adversely affect its price. The policies of the index sponsor with
respect to the calculation of the underlying index could also adversely affect the price of the Underlying. The index sponsor may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the underlying index and has no obligation to
consider your interests in the Notes when taking any action. Any such actions could have an adverse effect on the value of the Notes and the amounts payable on the Notes.
|
♦ |
The probability that the Underlying will fall below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date will depend on the volatility of the Underlying—“Volatility”
refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of the Underlying. Greater expected volatility with respect to the Underlying reflects a higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the Underlying could close below the
Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, resulting in the loss of up to 100% of your investment. However, an Underlying’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes. The price of the Underlying could fall
sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
|
♦ |
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.
|
♦ |
Our activities and those of UBS may adversely affect the value of the Notes — Trading or other transactions by us, UBS and our respective affiliates in the Underlying
or the securities that it holds, or in futures, options, exchange-traded funds or other derivative products on the Underlying or those securities may adversely affect the market value of the Underlying and, therefore, the market value
of the Notes.
|
♦ |
Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by RBCCM, UBS or their respective affiliates — RBCCM, UBS or their respective affiliates may publish
research, express opinions or provide recommendations as to the Underlying 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 Underlying, and therefore, the market value of the Notes.
