£ |
Call Return - We will automatically call the Notes for a Call Price equal to the principal amount
plus the applicable Call Return based on the Call Return Rate if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Initial Underlying Price. The Call Return increases the longer the
Notes are outstanding. If the Notes are not called, investors will have the potential for downside market exposure to the Underlying Equity at maturity if the Final Underlying Price is less than the Initial Underlying Price.
|
£
|
Contingent Absolute Return at Maturity - If you hold the Notes to maturity,
the Notes have not been called on any Observation Date including the final Observation Date and the Underlying Equity closes above or equal to the Downside Threshold on the final Observation Date, we will pay your full principal
amount plus the Contingent Absolute Return. If the Underlying Equity closes below the Downside Threshold on the final Observation Date, the Contingent Absolute Return will not apply and we will pay less than your principal amount,
if anything, resulting in a loss of your principal amount that will be proportionate to the full negative Underlying Return. The Contingent Absolute Return and any contingent repayment of principal only applies if you hold the Notes
to 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. THE ISSUER IS 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 EQUITY. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING OUR DEBT OBLIGATION. 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 6 AND UNDER ‘‘RISK FACTORS’’
BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-4 OF THE PRODUCT PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. UBS TAS-2 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 THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES.

Payment at Maturity
(per Note):
|
If the Notes are not called and the Final
Underlying Price of the Underlying Equity is above or equal to the Downside Threshold on the final Observation Date, we will pay you a cash payment on the Maturity Date per Note equal to:
$10 × (1 + Contingent Absolute Return)
If the Notes are not called and the Final
Underlying Price is below the Downside Threshold on the final Observation Date, then the Contingent Absolute Return will not apply, and we will pay you a cash payment on the Maturity Date that is less than your principal
amount, if anything, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return, equal to:
$10 × (1 + Underlying Return)
Accordingly, you may lose all or a substantial portion of your principal at
maturity, depending on how much the Underlying Equity declines.
|
Underlying Return:
|
Final Underlying Price - Initial Underlying Price
Initial Underlying Price
|
Downside Threshold:
|
$35.96, which is 75% of the Initial Underlying Price of the Underlying Equity (rounded to two decimal places).
|
Contingent Absolute
Return:
|
The absolute value of the Underlying Return. For example, if the Underlying Return is -5%, the Contingent Absolute
Return will equal 5%.

|
Final Underlying Price:
|

Investment Timeline
|
Trade
Date:
|
The Call Return Rate was set.
|
||
Quarterly:
|
The Notes will be called if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Initial Underlying Price.
If the Notes are called, we will pay the Call Price for the applicable Observation Date, equal to the principal amount plus the applicable Call Return.
|
||
Maturity Date:
|
The Final Underlying Price of the Underlying Equity is observed on the final Observation Date.
If the Notes have not been called and the Final Underlying Price is equal to or greater than the Downside Threshold, we will repay an
amount in cash equal to:
$10 × (1 + Contingent Absolute Return)
If the Notes have not been called and the Final Underlying Price is less than the Downside Threshold, then the Contingent Absolute
Return will not apply, and we will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss proportionate to the decline of the Underlying Equity, equal to a return of:
$10.00 × (1 + Underlying Return) per Note
|
||
Key Risks
|
¨ |
You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we
will not necessarily pay the full principal amount at maturity. The return on the Notes depends on whether the Underlying Equity closes at or above the Initial Underlying Price on an Observation Date, and if the Notes are not
called, whether the Final Underlying Price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold. If the Notes are not called, we will only pay you the principal amount of your Notes, plus the Contingent
Absolute Return, if the Final Underlying Price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold, and will only make such payment at maturity. If the Notes are not called and the Final Underlying Price is
less than the Downside Threshold, the Contingent Absolute Return will not apply and you will lose some or all of your principal amount in an amount proportionate to the negative Underlying Return.
|
¨ |
The Call Feature and the Downside Threshold Limit Your Potential Return: The return potential of the
Notes if the Notes are called as of any Observation Date is limited to the applicable Call Return, regardless of the appreciation of the Underlying Equity, which may be significant. Therefore, you may receive a lower payment if
the Notes are automatically called or at maturity, as the case may be, than you would have if you had invested directly in the Underlying Equity. In addition, because the Call Return increases the longer the Notes are outstanding,
the Call Price payable on the first Observation Date is less than the Call Price payable on later Observation Dates. As the Notes could be called as early as the first Observation Date, the total return on the Notes could be
minimal.
|
¨ |
No Periodic Interest Payments: We will not pay any interest with respect to the Notes.
|
¨ |
Reinvestment Risk: If your Notes are called early, the holding period over which you would receive the
per annum Call Return Rate 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 in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the
event the Notes are called prior to the Maturity Date.
|
¨ |
Contingent Absolute Return Applies Only at Maturity: 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 sell your Notes at a loss relative to your initial investment, even if the price of the Underlying Equity is above the
Downside Threshold. If at maturity the Notes have not been called, we will repay you the full principal amount per Note plus the Contingent Absolute Return, unless the price of the Underlying Equity closes below the Downside
Threshold on the final Observation Date. Under these circumstances, the Contingent Absolute Return will not apply and we will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the
decline in the price of the Underlying Equity from the date that the Initial Underlying Price was determined to the final Observation Date. The Contingent Absolute Return and any contingent repayment of principal are based on
whether the Final Underlying Price is below the Downside Threshold and apply only if you hold your Notes to maturity.
|
¨ |
The Call Return Rate and the Probability that the Final Underlying Price Will Fall Below the Downside
Threshold on the Final Observation Date Will Reflect in Part the Volatility of the Underlying Equity: “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of the Underlying Equity. The greater the
volatility of the Underlying Equity, the more likely it is that the price of that Underlying Equity could close below the Downside Threshold on the final Observation Date. This risk will generally be reflected in a higher Call
Return Rate for the Notes than the return payable on our conventional debt securities with a comparable term. However, while the Call Return Rate is set on the Trade Date, the Underlying Equity’s volatility can change
significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase. The price of the Underlying Equity could fall sharply as of the final Observation Date, which could result in a significant loss of your initial investment.
|
¨ |
Credit Risk of Royal Bank of Canada: The Notes are our unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations
and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including payments in respect of an automatic call or any repayment of principal, 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 of the Bank. As 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, this could result in holders of the Notes being exposed to losses.
|
¨ |
Single Stock Risk: The price of the Underlying Equity can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific
to the Underlying Equity 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 issuer of the Underlying Equity and
the Underlying Equity. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the issuer with the SEC.
|
¨ |
Dividend Payments or Voting Rights: As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights, rights
to receive cash dividends or other distributions, or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Equity would have.
|
¨ |
Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Underlying Equity: The return on your Notes may not
reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlying Equity. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions over the term of the Notes, which could
constitute significant returns to actual owners of the Underlying Equity. Furthermore, the Underlying Equity may appreciate substantially during the term of the Notes, while your potential return, if called, will be limited to the
applicable Call Return.
|
¨ |
There Is No Affiliation Between the Underlying Equity Issuer and RBCCM, and RBCCM Is Not Responsible for any
Disclosure by the Underlying Equity Issuer: We are not affiliated with the Underlying Equity issuer. However, we and our affiliates may currently, or from time to time in the future engage in business with the Underlying
Equity issuer. Nevertheless, neither we nor our affiliates assume any responsibility for the accuracy or the completeness of any information about the Underlying Equity and the Underlying Equity issuer. You, as an investor in the
Notes, should make your own investigation into the Underlying Equity and the Underlying Equity issuer for your Notes. The Underlying Equity issuer is not involved in this offering and has no obligation of any sort with respect to
your Notes. The Underlying Equity issuer has no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your Notes.
|
¨ |
Lack of Liquidity: 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 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 document 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 Equity, the borrowing rate we pay to issue securities of this kind, and the inclusion in the price to the 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, any secondary 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
Are 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.
|
¨ |
Potential Conflicts: 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.
|
¨ |
Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by RBCCM, UBS or Their Affiliates:
RBCCM, UBS or their affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations as to the Underlying Equity 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 Equity, and therefore the market value of the Notes.
|
¨ |
Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of an investment in the Notes are
uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser about your tax situation.
|
¨ |
Potential Royal Bank of Canada and UBS Impact on Price: Trading or other transactions by us, UBS or our
respective affiliates in the Underlying Equity, or in futures, options, exchange-traded funds or other derivative products on the Underlying Equity may adversely affect the market value of the Underlying Equity, the closing price
of the Underlying Equity, and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
|
¨ |
The Terms of the Notes Were Influenced 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 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 price of the Underlying Equity on any trading 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 Underlying Equity. 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 Underlying Equity;
|
¨ |
the time remaining to maturity of the Notes;
|
¨ |
the dividend rate on the Underlying Equity;
|
¨ |
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 Equity 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.
|
¨ |
The Anti-Dilution Protection for the Underlying Equity Is Limited: The calculation agent will make
adjustments to the Initial Underlying Price and the Downside Threshold for certain events affecting the Underlying Equity. However, the calculation agent will not be required to make an adjustment in response to all events that
could affect the Underlying Equity. 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.
