Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes
Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers,
Due September 23, 2027
Royal Bank of Canada |
|
|
|
Royal
Bank of Canada is offering Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes (the “Notes”) linked to the performance of the least
performing of the SPDR® S&P® Regional Banking ETF, the Nasdaq-100 Index® and
the Russell 2000® Index (each, an “Underlier”).
| · | Contingent
Coupons — If the Notes have not been automatically called, investors will receive
a Contingent Coupon on a monthly Coupon Payment Date at a rate of 12.80% per annum if the
closing value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold (70% of
its Initial Underlier Value) on the immediately preceding Coupon Observation Date. You may
not receive any Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes. |
| · | Call
Feature — If, on any quarterly Call Observation Date beginning approximately six
months following the Trade Date, the closing value of each Underlier is greater than or equal
to its Call Value, the Notes will be automatically called for 100% of their principal amount
plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due. No further payments will be made on the
Notes. |
| · | Contingent
Return of Principal at Maturity — If the Notes are not automatically called and
the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its
Barrier Value (60% of its Initial Underlier Value), at maturity, investors will receive the
principal amount of their Notes plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due. If the Notes
are not automatically called and the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier
is less than its Barrier Value, at maturity, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount
of their Notes for each 1% that the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier
is less than its Initial Underlier Value. |
| · | Any
payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk. |
| · | The
Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. |

None
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities commission or any other regulatory body has approved
or disapproved of the Notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this pricing supplement. Any representation to the contrary is
a criminal offense. The Notes will not constitute deposits insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit

The initial estimated value of the Notes determined
by us as of the Trade Date, which we refer to as the initial estimated value, is $989.78 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and is less
than the public offering price of the Notes. The market value of the Notes at any time will reflect many factors, cannot be predicted
with accuracy and may be less than this amount. We describe the determination of the initial estimated value in more detail below.

HYPOTHETICAL RETURNS
The
table and examples set forth below illustrate hypothetical payments at maturity for hypothetical performance of the Least Performing
Underlier, based on its Coupon Threshold of 70% of its Initial Underlier Value, its Barrier Value of 60% of its Initial Underlier Value
and the Contingent Coupon of $10.667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The table and examples below also assume that the Notes
are not automatically called and do not account for any Contingent Coupons that may be paid prior to maturity. The table and examples

Including any Contingent Coupon otherwise due
Example 1 — |
The value of the Least
Performing Underlier increases from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value by 30%. |
|
Underlier
Return of the Least Performing Underlier: |
30% |
|
Payment at Maturity: |
$1,000 + Contingent Coupon otherwise
due = $1,000 + $10.667 = $1,010.667 |
|
In
this example, the payment at maturity is $1,010.667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Because
the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than its Coupon Threshold and Barrier Value, investors receive
a full return of the principal amount of their Notes plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due. This example illustrates that
investors do not participate in any appreciation of the Least Performing Underlier, which may be significant. |

| Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers |
Example 2 — |
The value of the Least
Performing Underlier decreases from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value by 10% (i.e., its Final Underlier Value
is below its Initial Underlier Value but above its Coupon Threshold and Barrier Value). |
|
Underlier
Return of the Least Performing Underlier: |
-10% |
|
Payment at Maturity: |
$1,000 + Contingent Coupon otherwise
due = $1,000 + $10.667 = $1,010.667 |
|
In
this example, the payment at maturity is $1,010.667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Because
the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than its Coupon Threshold and Barrier Value, investors receive
a full return of the principal amount of their Notes plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due. |
Example 3 — |
The value of the Least
Performing Underlier decreases from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value by 35% (i.e., its Final Underlier Value
is below its Coupon Threshold but above its Barrier Value). |
|
Underlier
Return of the Least Performing Underlier: |
-35% |
|
Payment at Maturity: |
$1,000 |
|
In
this example, the payment at maturity is $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
Because
the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Coupon Threshold but greater than its Barrier Value,
investors receive a full return of the principal amount of their Notes but do not receive a Contingent Coupon at maturity. |
Example 4 — |
The value of the Least
Performing Underlier decreases from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value by 50% (i.e., its Final Underlier Value
is below its Coupon Threshold and Barrier Value). |
|
Underlier
Return of the Least Performing Underlier: |
-50% |
|
Payment at Maturity: |
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50%) = $1,000
– $500 = $500 |
|
In
this example, the payment at maturity is $500 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, representing a loss of 50% of the principal amount.
Because
the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value, investors do not receive a full return
of the principal amount of their Notes. In addition, because the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less
than its Coupon Threshold, investors do not receive a Contingent Coupon at maturity. |
Investors in
the Notes could lose a substantial portion or all of the principal amount of their Notes at maturity. The table and examples above assume
that the Notes are not automatically called. However, if the Notes are automatically called, investors will not
receive any further payments after the Call Settlement Date.

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS
An
investment in the Notes involves significant risks. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers
before you invest in the Notes. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read
also the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and product supplement. You should
not purchase the Notes unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the Notes.
Risks
Relating to the Terms and Structure of the Notes
| · | You
May Lose a Portion or All of the Principal Amount at Maturity — If the Notes are
not automatically called and the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier
is less than its Barrier Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your Notes for
each 1% that the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its
Initial Underlier Value. You could lose a substantial portion or all of your principal amount
at maturity. |
| · | You
May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupons — We will not necessarily pay any Contingent
Coupons on the Notes. If the closing value of any Underlier is less than its Coupon Threshold
on a Coupon Observation Date, we will not pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to that
Coupon Observation Date. If the closing value of any Underlier is less than its Coupon Threshold
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. Even
if your return is positive, your return may be less than the return you would earn if you
purchased one of our conventional senior interest-bearing debt securities. |
| · | Any
Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Solely by the Performance of the Underlier with the
Worst Performance Even If the Other Underliers Perform Better — Any payment on
the Notes will be determined solely by the performance of the Underlier with the worst performance.
The Notes are not linked to a weighted basket, in which the risk may be mitigated and diversified
among each of the basket components. In the case of the Notes, the individual performance
of the Underliers will not be combined, and the adverse performance of one Underlier will
not be mitigated by any appreciation of any other Underlier. The Underliers may be uncorrelated
and may not perform similarly over the term of the Notes, which may increase your risk of
loss on the Notes and the risk that you will receive few or no Contingent Coupons. |
| · | You
Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Any Underlier, and Any Potential Return on the
Notes Is Limited — The return on the Notes is limited to the Contingent Coupons,
if any, that may be payable on the Notes, regardless of any appreciation of any Underlier,
which may be significant. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be
less than the return on a direct investment in any Underlier. |
| · | The
Notes Are Subject to an Automatic Call — If, on any Call Observation Date, the
closing value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes will
be automatically called, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes. Because
the Notes could be called as early as approximately six months after the Issue Date, the
total return on the Notes could be minimal. You may be unable to reinvest your proceeds from
the automatic call in an investment with a return that is as high as the return on the Notes
would have been if they had not been called. |
| · | Payments
on the Notes Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Market Perceptions about Our Creditworthiness
May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Notes — The Notes are our senior unsecured
debt securities, and your receipt of any amounts due on the Notes is dependent upon our ability
to pay our obligations as they come due. If we were to default on our payment obligations,
you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could lose your entire
investment. In addition, any negative changes in market perceptions about our creditworthiness
may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. |
| · | Any
Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Based on the Closing Values of the Underliers on
the Dates Specified — Any payment on the Notes will be determined based on the
closing values of the Underliers on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more
favorable values of the Underliers determined at any other time. |
P-8 | RBC Capital Markets, LLC |
A | |
| Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers |
| · | The
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Notes Are Uncertain —
There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment
of the Notes, and significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. Moreover,
non-U.S. investors should note that persons having withholding responsibility in respect
of the Notes may withhold on any coupon paid to a non-U.S. investor, generally at a rate
of 30%. We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. You should
review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”
herein, in combination with the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, and consult your tax adviser
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes. |
Risks
Relating to the Initial Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market for the Notes
| · | There
May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Notes; Sales in the Secondary Market May Result
in Significant Losses — There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes.
The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. RBCCM and our other affiliates may
make a market for the Notes; however, they are not required to do so and, if they choose
to do so, may stop any market-making activities at any time. 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 or any of our other affiliates
is willing to buy the Notes. Even if a secondary market for the Notes develops, it may not
provide enough liquidity to allow you to easily trade or sell the Notes. We expect that transaction
costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and
ask prices for your Notes in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your
Notes before maturity, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the price that
you paid for them, and as a result, you may suffer significant losses. The Notes are not
designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing
to hold your Notes to maturity. |
| · | The
Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Less Than the Public Offering Price — The
initial estimated value of the Notes is less than the public offering price of 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 values of the Underliers, the internal funding rate we pay to issue
securities of this kind (which is lower than the rate at which we borrow funds by issuing
conventional fixed rate debt) and the inclusion in the public offering price of the referral
fee, our estimated profit and the estimated 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 your original purchase
price, as any such sale price would not be expected to include the referral fee, our estimated
profit or the hedging costs relating to 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 funding 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 funding rate were used. |
| · | The
Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Only an Estimate, Calculated as of the Trade Date
— 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 internal funding rate (which represents
a discount from 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
value of the Notes at any time after the Trade Date will vary based on many factors, including changes in market conditions, and cannot
be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold the Notes in any secondary market, if any, should
be expected to differ materially from the initial estimated value of the Notes.

Risks
Relating to Conflicts of Interest and Our Trading Activities
| · | Our
and Our Affiliates’ Business and Trading Activities May Create Conflicts of Interest
— You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing
in the Notes. Our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially adverse to
your interests as an investor in the Notes due to our and our affiliates’ business
and trading activities, and we and our affiliates have no obligation to consider your interests
in taking any actions that might affect the value of the Notes. Trading by us and our affiliates
may adversely affect the values of the Underliers and the market value of the Notes. See
“Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement. |
| · | RBCCM’s
Role as Calculation Agent May Create Conflicts of Interest — As Calculation Agent,
our affiliate, RBCCM, will determine any values of the Underliers and make any other determinations
necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, the Calculation
Agent may be required to make discretionary judgments, including those described under “—Risks
Relating to the Underliers” below. In making these discretionary judgments, the economic
interests of the Calculation Agent are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor
in the Notes, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the Notes.
The Calculation Agent will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in
the Notes in making any determinations with respect to the Notes. |
Risks
Relating to the Underliers
| · | You
Will Not Have Any Rights to the KRE Fund or the Securities Composing Any Underlier —
As an investor in the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends
or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the KRE Fund or the securities
composing any Underlier. Each Index is a price return index and its return does not reflect
regular cash dividends paid by its components. |
| · | The
KRE Fund and the Underlying Index Are Different — The performance of the KRE Fund
will not exactly replicate the performance of its Underlying Index (as defined below). The
KRE Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategy for
the KRE Fund, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not
produce the intended results. The KRE Fund’s investment adviser may have the right
to use a portion of the KRE Fund’s assets to invest in securities or other assets or
instruments, including derivatives, that are not included in its Underlying Index. In addition,
unlike the Underlying Index, the KRE Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that will
reduce its performance relative to its Underlying Index. |
The
performance of the KRE Fund may diverge significantly from the performance of its Underlying Index due to differences in trading hours
between the KRE Fund and the securities composing its Underlying Index or other circumstances. During periods of market volatility, the
component securities held by the KRE Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate
accurately the intraday net asset value per share of the KRE Fund and the liquidity of the KRE Fund may be adversely affected. This kind
of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares in the KRE Fund. Further, market
volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of
the KRE Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of the KRE Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value
per share of the KRE Fund.
| · | The
Equity Securities Composing the KRE Fund Are Concentrated in the Regional Banking Industry
and the Financial Services Industry — All or substantially all of the equity securities
composing the KRE Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly
associated with the regional banking industry and the financial services industry. As a result,
the value of the Notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected
by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry than a different
investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Banking and
financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit
both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest
rates, fees and prices they can charge, the scope of their activities and the amount of capital
they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital
funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in
a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets
generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Credit losses |
P-10 | RBC Capital Markets, LLC |
A | |
| Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers |
resulting
from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the financial
sector. Changes in government regulation and oversight of financial institutions may have an adverse effect on the financial condition
of a financial institution.
| · | The
Notes Are Subject to Small-Capitalization Companies Risk with Respect to the RTY Index
— The RTY Index tracks securities issued by companies with relatively small market
capitalizations. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading
volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. As a result, the value of
the RTY Index may be more volatile than that of a market measure that does not track solely
small-capitalization stocks. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also generally
more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic
developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded and may
be less attractive to many investors if they do not pay dividends. In addition, small-capitalization
companies are often less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization
companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable
to loss of personnel. Small-capitalization companies are often subject to less analyst coverage
and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences. Small-capitalization
companies tend to have lower revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their
target markets, fewer financial resources and fewer competitive strengths than large-capitalization
companies. These companies may also be more susceptible to adverse developments related to
their products or services. |
| · | The
Notes Are Subject to Risks Relating to Non-U.S. Securities with Respect to the NDX Index
— Because some of the equity securities composing the NDX Index are issued by non-U.S.
issuers, an investment in the Notes involves risks associated with the home countries of
those issuers. The prices of securities of non-U.S. companies may be affected by political,
economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes
in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. |
| · | We
May Accelerate the Notes If a Change-in-Law Event Occurs — Upon the occurrence
of legal or regulatory changes that may, among other things, prohibit or otherwise materially
restrict persons from holding the Notes or an Underlier or its components, or engaging in
transactions in them, the Calculation Agent may determine that a change-in-law-event has
occurred and accelerate the Maturity Date for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent
in its sole discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less
than any amount that would be due on the Notes if they were not accelerated. However, if
the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate the Notes, the value of, and any amount payable
on, the Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, by the occurrence of such
legal or regulatory changes. See “General Terms of Notes—Change-in-Law Events”
in the accompanying product supplement. |
| · | Any
Payment on the Notes May Be Postponed and Adversely Affected by the Occurrence of a Market
Disruption Event — The timing and amount of any payment on the Notes is subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of a market disruption event affecting an Underlier. If
a market disruption event persists for a sustained period, the Calculation Agent may make
a discretionary determination of the closing value of any affected Underlier. See “General
Terms of the Notes—Indices—Market Disruption Events,” “General Terms
of the Notes—Reference Stocks and Funds—Market Disruption Events,” “General
Terms of the Notes—Postponement of a Determination Date” and “General Terms
of the Notes—Postponement of a Payment Date” in the accompanying product supplement. |
| · | Adjustments
to the KRE Fund or to the Underlying Index Could Adversely Affect Any Payments on the Notes
— The investment adviser of the KRE Fund may add, remove or substitute the component
securities held by the KRE Fund or make changes to its investment strategy, and the sponsor
of the Underlying Index may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing the
Underlying Index, may make other methodological changes to the Underlying Index that could
affect its performance or may discontinue or suspend calculation and publication of the Underlying
Index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the KRE Fund and, consequently,
the value of the Notes. |
| · | Adjustments
to an Index Could Adversely Affect Any Payments on the Notes — The sponsor of an
Index may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing that Index or make other
methodological changes to that Index that could affect its performance. The Calculation Agent
will calculate the value to be used as the closing value of an Index in the event of certain
material changes in, or modifications to, that Index. In addition, the sponsor of an Index |
P-11 | RBC Capital Markets, LLC |
A | |
| Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers |
may
also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of that Index at any time. Under these circumstances, the Calculation Agent may
select a successor index that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the discontinued Index or, if no successor index is
available, the Calculation Agent will determine the value to be used as the closing value of that Index. Any of these actions could adversely
affect the value of an Index and, consequently, the value of the Notes. See “General Terms of the Notes—Indices—Discontinuation
of, or Adjustments to, an Index” in the accompanying product supplement.
| · | Anti-dilution
Protection Is Limited, and the Calculation Agent Has Discretion to Make Anti-dilution Adjustments
— The Calculation Agent may in its sole discretion make adjustments affecting any
amounts payable on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to the KRE
Fund that the Calculation Agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the
theoretical value of the KRE Fund. However, the Calculation Agent might not make adjustments
in response to all such events that could affect the KRE Fund. The occurrence of any such
event and any adjustment made by the Calculation Agent (or a determination by the Calculation
Agent not to make any adjustment) may adversely affect the market price of, and any amounts
payable on, the Notes. See “General Terms of the Notes—Reference Stocks and Funds—Anti-dilution
Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement. |
| · | Reorganization
or Other Events Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes or Result in the Notes Being
Accelerated — If the KRE Fund is delisted or terminated, the Calculation Agent
may select a successor fund. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain reorganization or
other events affecting the KRE Fund, the Calculation Agent may make adjustments that result
in payments on the Notes being based on the performance of (i) cash, securities of another
issuer and/or other property distributed to holders of the KRE Fund upon the occurrence of
that event or (ii) in the case of a reorganization event in which only cash is distributed
to holders of the KRE Fund, a substitute security, if the Calculation Agent elects to select
one. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the KRE Fund and, consequently,
the value of the Notes. Alternatively, the Calculation Agent may accelerate the Maturity
Date for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent. Any amount payable upon acceleration
could be significantly less than any amount that would be due on the Notes if they were not
accelerated. However, if the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate the Notes, the value
of, and any amount payable on, the Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly.
See “General Terms of the Notes—Reference Stocks and Funds—Anti-dilution
Adjustments—Reorganization Events” and “General Terms of the Notes—Reference

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
You
should review carefully the section in the accompanying product supplement entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Notes.
Generally,
this discussion assumes that you purchased the Notes for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address
other circumstances specific to you, including consequences that may arise due to any other investments relating to the Underliers. You
should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect any such circumstances may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your
ownership of a Note.
In
the opinion of our counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid financial contracts with
associated coupons, and any coupons as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Financial Contracts with Associated Coupons”
in the accompanying product supplement. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)
or a court might not agree with it. A different tax treatment could be adverse to you.
We
do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the Notes. An alternative characterization of the Notes could
materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Notes, including the timing and character of
income recognized. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such
transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes
to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration
of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect.
Non-U.S.
Holders. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the coupons is unclear. To the extent that we have withholding responsibility in
respect of the Notes, we would expect generally to treat the coupons as subject to U.S. withholding tax. Moreover, you should expect
that, if the applicable withholding agent determines that withholding tax should apply, it will be at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty
rate). In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding under an applicable treaty, you may need to comply
with certification requirements to establish that you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for such an exemption or reduction under
an applicable tax treaty. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the coupons.
As
discussed under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents
under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid
or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S.
equities. The Treasury regulations, as modified by an IRS notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do
not have a “delta” of one. Based on certain determinations made by us, our counsel is of the opinion that Section 871(m)
should not apply to the Notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination.
We
will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes.
You
should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible
alternative treatments, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
(CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)
The
Notes are offered initially to investors at a purchase price equal to par. We or one of our affiliates may pay a broker-dealer that is
not affiliated with us a referral fee as set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement.
The
value of the Notes shown on your account statement may be based on RBCCM’s estimate of the value of the Notes if RBCCM or another
of our affiliates were to make a market in the Notes (which it is not obligated to do). That estimate will be based on the price that
RBCCM may pay for the Notes in light of then-prevailing market conditions, our creditworthiness and transaction costs. For a period of
approximately six months after the Issue Date, the value of the Notes that may be shown on your account statement may be higher than
RBCCM’s estimated value of the Notes at that time. This is because the estimated value of the Notes will not include the referral
fee or our hedging costs and profits; however, the value of the Notes shown on your account statement during that period may initially
be a higher amount, reflecting the addition of the referral fee and our estimated costs and profits from hedging the Notes. This excess
is expected to decrease over time until the end of this period. After this period, if RBCCM repurchases your Notes, it expects to do
so at prices that reflect their estimated value.
RBCCM
or another of its affiliates or agents may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, RBCCM or another
of our affiliates may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless
we or our agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making
transaction.
For
additional information about the settlement cycle of the Notes, see “Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying prospectus.
For additional information as to the relationship between us and RBCCM, see the section “Plan of Distribution—Conflicts of
Interest” in the accompanying prospectus.
STRUCTURING
THE NOTES
The
Notes are our debt securities. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our structured notes, the economic terms of the
Notes reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness. In addition, because structured notes result in increased operational, funding
and liability management costs to us, we typically borrow the funds under structured notes at a rate that is lower than the rate that
we might pay for a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity. The lower internal funding rate, the referral
fee and the hedging-related costs relating to the Notes reduce the economic terms of the Notes to you and result in the initial estimated
value for the Notes being less than their public offering price. Unlike the initial estimated value, any value of the Notes determined
for purposes of a secondary market transaction may be based on a secondary market rate, which may result in a lower value for the Notes
than if our initial internal funding rate were used.
In
order to satisfy our payment obligations under the Notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include
call options, put options or other derivatives) with RBCCM and/or one of our other subsidiaries. The terms of these hedging arrangements
take into account a number of factors, including our creditworthiness, interest rate movements, volatility and the tenor of the Notes.
The economic terms of the Notes and the initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements.
See
“Selected Risk Considerations—Risks Relating to the Initial Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market for the
Notes—The Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Less Than the Public Offering Price” above.
VALIDITY OF THE NOTES
In
the opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, as Canadian counsel to the Bank, the issue and sale of the Notes has been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action of the Bank in conformity with the indenture, and when the Notes have been duly executed, authenticated
and issued in accordance with the indenture and delivered against payment therefor, the Notes will be validly issued and, to the extent
validity of the Notes is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario or Québec, or the federal laws of Canada applicable
therein, will be valid obligations of the Bank, subject to the following limitations: (i) the enforceability of the indenture may be
limited by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation
P-16 | RBC Capital Markets, LLC |
A | |
| Auto-Callable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers |
Act
(Canada), the Winding-up and Restructuring Act (Canada) and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement
or winding-up laws or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii)
the enforceability of the indenture is subject to general equitable principles, including the principle that the availability of equitable
remedies, such as specific performance and injunction, may only be granted at the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii)
under applicable limitations statutes generally, including that the enforceability of the indenture will be subject to the limitations
contained in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether a court may find any provision
of the indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary or exclude a limitation period under such applicable limitations statutes;
(iv) rights to indemnity and contribution under the Notes or the indenture which may be limited by applicable law; and (v) courts in
Canada are precluded from giving a judgment in any currency other than the lawful money of Canada and such judgment may be based on a
rate of exchange in existence on a day other than the day of payment, as prescribed by the Currency Act (Canada). This opinion is given
as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Provinces of Ontario and Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable
therein. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery
of the indenture and the genuineness of signatures and to such counsel’s reliance on the Bank and other sources as to certain factual
matters, all as stated in the opinion letter of such counsel dated December 20, 2023, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the Bank’s
Form 6-K filed with the SEC dated December 20, 2023.
In
the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States products counsel to the Bank, when the Notes offered by this pricing
supplement have been issued by the Bank pursuant to the indenture, the trustee has made, in accordance with the indenture, the appropriate
notation to the master note evidencing such Notes (the “master note”), and such Notes have been delivered against payment
as contemplated herein, such Notes will be valid and binding obligations of the Bank, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable
principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith) and
possible judicial or regulatory actions or applications giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’
rights, provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or
stay law or (ii) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed
above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as the foregoing opinion
involves matters governed by the laws of the Provinces of Ontario and Québec and the federal laws of Canada, you have received,
and we understand that you are relying upon, the opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, Canadian counsel for the Bank, set forth
above. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery
of the indenture and the authentication of the master note and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with
respect to the trustee, all as stated in the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP dated May 16, 2024, which has been filed as an
exhibit to the Bank’s Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2024.
