Key Dates1
|
☐ |
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 six 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 FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-4 OF THE
PRODUCT PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND 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. 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 of the applicable Underlying 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 applicable
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 applicable 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 Call Observation Date occurring in June 2023, 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 applicable Underlying — The return on your Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
applicable 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, and any such dividends will not be incorporated in the
determination of the amounts payable on the Notes.
|
♦ |
The Contingent Coupon Rate will reflect in part the volatility of the applicable 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 applicable 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 will generally be 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 will be 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 applicable Underlying is greater
than or equal to the Initial Price on any Call Observation Date beginning in June
|
♦ |
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
applicable 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. 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 will be less than the price to the public — The initial estimated value for each of the Notes that will be set forth in the final
pricing supplement for the Notes will be 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 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 are 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 will
influence 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 value of the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Underlying;
|
♦ |
the time remaining to maturity of the Notes;
|
♦ |
the dividend rate on the applicable 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 single stock risk — The price of the applicable Underlying can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Underlying 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 Underlying issuer and the Underlying for your Notes. For additional information about
the Underlying and its issuer, please see “Information about the Underlying” in this free writing prospectus and the Underlying issuer’s SEC filings referred to in those sections. We urge you to review
financial and other information filed periodically by the Underlying issuer with the SEC.
|
♦ |
You will not have any shareholder rights and will not receive any shares of the applicable Underlying at maturity — Investing in the Notes will not make you a holder of any
shares of the applicable Underlying. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of the Notes will have any voting rights, any right to receive dividends or other distributions, or any other rights with respect to the Underlying or such other
securities.
|
♦ |
There is no affiliation between the Underlying Issuer and us, UBS and our respective affiliates, and we are not responsible for any disclosure by that issuer — We, UBS and
our respective affiliates are not affiliated with any of the Underlying issuers. However, we, UBS and our respective affiliates may currently, or from time to time in the future engage in business with the Underlying issuer. Nevertheless,
neither we nor our affiliates assume any responsibilities for the
|
♦ |
Historical prices of the Underlyings should not be taken as an indication of their future prices during the term of the Notes — The trading prices of the applicable
Underlying will determine the value of the Notes at any given time. However, it is impossible to predict whether the price of the applicable Underlying will rise or fall, trading prices of the Underlyings will be influenced by complex and
interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the applicable issuer, and therefore, the price of the applicable Underlying.
|
♦ |
The anti-dilution protection for each Underlying is limited — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Initial Price, Coupon Barrier and Downside Threshold for
certain events affecting the shares of the applicable Underlying. However, the calculation agent will not be required to make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the Underlying. 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.
|
♦ |
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 applicable
Underlying, or in futures, options, exchange-traded funds or other derivative products on the Underlying may adversely affect the market value of the Underlying, the closing price 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 applicable 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.
