KEY TERMS

Issuer: Royal Bank of Canada Issuer Credit Ratings: Moody’s: Aa1; S&P: AA-; DBRS: AA Currency: CAD Minimum Investment: 50 Securities or $5,000 Term: Approximately 7.0 years Principal at Risk: The Securities are not principal protected. Underlying Index:

The return on the Securities is linked to the performance of the Solactive Canada Blue Chip II AR Index (the “ Underlying Index ”). The Underlying Index is an adjusted return index that aims to track the gross total return performance of the Solactive Canada Blue Chip II GTR Index (the “ Target Index ”), subject to a reduction of a synthetic dividend of 95 index points per annum (the “ Adjusted Return Factor ”). For the avoidance of doubt, the return on the Securities is linked to the Underlying Index and is not linked to the Target Index. The Closing Level on August 2, 2024 was 1,476.74. The Adjusted Return Factor divided by the Closing Level was therefore equal to 6.4331% on August 2, 2024. If an Autocall Redemption Event does not occur, over the term of the Securities the sum of the Adjusted Return Factor will be approximately 665 index points, representing 45.0316% of the Closing Level on August 2, 2024. For the calculation of the level of the Target Index, any dividends or other distributions paid on the constituent securities of the Target Index are assumed to be reinvested across all of the constituent securities of the Target Index. As of August 2, 2024, the annual dividend yield on the Target Index was 5.9707%, representing an aggregate dividend yield of approximately 50.0723% compounded annually over the term of the Securities, on the assumption that the dividend yield remains constant.

Generally, to be effective on a Business Day, a redemption request will need to be initiated by 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on that Business Day (or such other time as may be established by Fundserv). Any request received after such time will be deemed to be a request sent and received on the next following Business Day.

Sample Calculations of Final Redemption Amount or Autocall Redemption Amount and Interest Payment:

The following examples show how the return on the Securities would be calculated under different scenarios. These examples are included for illustration purposes only. The performance of the Underlying Index used in the examples is not an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Underlying Index or the Securities. The actual performance of the Underlying Index and the Securities will be different from these examples and the differences may be material. All examples assume that a holder of the Securities has purchased Securities with an aggregate Principal Amount of $100 and that no Extraordinary Event has occurred. For convenience, each vertical line in the charts below represents both a hypothetical Observation Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Where applicable, dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent.

Example #1: Loss Scenario with Payment on the Maturity Date at Less Than the Principal Amount

==> picture [419 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

  • Indicates Observation Dates on which the Autocall Redemption Level is not breached; therefore no Interest Payment will occur on the related Interest Payment Date.

  • Solactive Canada Blue Chip II AR Index

In this scenario, the Closing Level is below the Autocall Redemption Level on all Observation Dates, so the Securities would not be redeemed before the Maturity Date. On the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is below the Protection Barrier Level.

(i) Interest Payment

No Autocall Redemption Event occurs because the Closing Level at each Observation Date is below the Autocall Redemption Level. Therefore, an Interest Payment would not be payable on any Interest Payment Date.

(ii) Final Redemption Amount

In this example, the Initial Index Level (Xi) is 1,476.74 and the Final Index Level (Xf) is 886.04. Therefore, the Final Redemption Amount is as follows:

$100.00 × (Xf / Xi)

$100.00 × (886.04 / 1,476.74) = $60.00

Therefore, the total amounts payable per Security from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:

(a) Interest Payment: $0.00

  • (b) Final Redemption Amount: $60.00

  • (c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: $60.00

The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is -7.04%.

Sample Calculations: (continued)

Example #2: Scenario with Payment on the Maturity Date at the Principal Amount

==> picture [419 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

  • Indicates Observation Dates on which the Autocall Redemption Level is not breached; therefore no Interest Payment will occur on the related Interest Payment Date.

  • Indicates final Observation Date.

  • Solactive Canada Blue Chip II AR Index

In this scenario, the Closing Level is below the Autocall Redemption Level on all Observation Dates, so the Securities would not be redeemed before the Maturity Date. On the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is at or above the Protection Barrier Level but is below the Autocall Redemption Level.

(i) Interest Payment

No Autocall Redemption Event occurs because the Closing Level at each Observation Date is below the Autocall Redemption Level. Therefore, an Interest Payment would not be payable on any Interest Payment Date.

(ii) Final Redemption Amount

In this example, the Final Index Level is greater than or equal to the Protection Barrier Level. Therefore, the Final Redemption Amount is $100.00.

Therefore, the total amounts payable per Security from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:

(a) Interest Payment: $0.00

  • (b) Final Redemption Amount: $100.00

  • (c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: $100.00

The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is 0.00%.

Sample Calculations: (continued)

Example #3: Gain Scenario with Autocall Redemption Event

==> picture [419 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

  • Indicates Observation Date on which the Autocall Redemption Level is exceeded.

  • Indicates Observation Dates on which the Autocall Redemption Level is not breached; therefore no Interest Payment will occur on the related Interest Payment Date.

  • Solactive Canada Blue Chip II AR Index

In this scenario, the Closing Level is at or above the Autocall Redemption Level on the Observation Date that falls 36 months into the term of the Securities. This would constitute an Autocall Redemption Event and the Bank would redeem the Securities on the next succeeding Autocall Redemption Date. An Interest Payment would be payable on the third Interest Payment Date.

(i) Interest Payment

The Initial Index Level (Xi) is 1,476.74 and the Closing Level on the third Observation Date (Xf) is 2,067.44; therefore, there is an Autocall Redemption Event on the third Observation Date. On the first and second Observation Dates, no Autocall Redemption Event would occur because the Closing Level at each such Observation Date is below the Autocall Redemption Level. Therefore, the Interest Payment payable on the Autocall Redemption Date would be calculated as follows:

The Index Return is calculated as follows:

((Xf / Xi) – 1) × $100.00

((2,067.44 / 1,476.74) – 1) × $100.00 = $40.00

Since the Index Return is greater than $31.00, the Interest Payment is:

$31.00 + [80.00% × (Index Return - $31.00)] $31.00 + [80.00% × ($40.00 - $31.00)] = $38.20

(ii) Autocall Redemption Amount

The Autocall Redemption Amount per Security is equal to $100.00.

Therefore, the total amounts payable per Security from the Issue Date to the Autocall Redemption Date are: (a) Interest Payment: $38.20

  • (b) Autocall Redemption Amount: $100.00

  • (c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: $138.20

The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is 11.39%.

6

Sample Calculations: (continued)

Example #4: Gain Scenario with Autocall Redemption Event

==> picture [419 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

  • Indicates Observation Date on which there is an Autocall Redemption Event; therefore an Interest Payment will occur on the Maturity Date.

  • Indicates Observation Dates on which the Autocall Redemption Level is not breached; therefore there is no Autocall Redemption Event and no Interest Payment will occur on the related Interest Payment Date.

  • Solactive Canada Blue Chip II AR Index

In this scenario, the Closing Level is at or above the Autocall Redemption Level on the final Observation Date. This would constitute an Autocall Redemption Event and an Interest Payment would be payable on the Maturity Date (being the final Interest Payment Date).

(i) Interest Payment

The Initial Index Level (Xi) is 1,476.74 and the Final Index Level (Xf) is 1,624.41; therefore, there is an Autocall Redemption Event on the Final Valuation Date (being the final Observation Date). On the first through sixth Observation Dates, no Autocall Redemption Event would occur because the Closing Level at each such Observation Date is below the Autocall Redemption Level. Therefore, the Interest Payment payable on the Maturity Date (being the final Interest Payment Date) would be calculated as follows:

The Index Return is calculated as follows:

((Xf / Xi) – 1) × $100.00

((1,624.41 / 1,476.74) – 1) × $100.00 = $10.00

Since the Index Return is less than $51.00, the Interest Payment is $51.00.

(ii) Final Redemption Amount

The Final Redemption Amount per Security is equal to $100.00.

Therefore, the total amounts payable per Security from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:

(a) Interest Payment: $51.00

(b) Final Redemption Amount: $100.00

  • (c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: $151.00

The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is 6.06%.

Initial Estimated Value:

The initial estimated value of the Securities on or about the date of the Pricing Supplement was $92.25 per Security, which is less than the price to the public and is not an indication of the actual profit to the Bank or its affiliates. The actual value of the Securities at any time will reflect many factors and may be less than this amount. The initial estimated value of the Securities is an estimate only and does not represent a minimum price at which the Bank, RBC DS or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase the Securities in any secondary market. We describe our determination of the initial estimated value in more detail in the Pricing Supplement.

Clients should evaluate the financial, market, legal, regulatory, credit, tax and accounting risks and consequences of the proposal before entering into any transaction, or purchasing any instrument. Clients should evaluate such risks and consequences independently of Royal Bank of Canada and the Dealers, RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (“ RBC DS ”) and Desjardins Securities Inc., respectively.

An investment in the Securities involves risks. None of Royal Bank of Canada, the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates, associates, or any other person or entity guarantees that holders of Securities will receive an amount equal to their original investment in the Securities or guarantees that any return will be paid on the Securities (subject to the minimum amount payable at maturity of $1.00 per Security) at or prior to maturity of the Securities. See “Risk Factors” in the base shelf prospectus and “Risk Factors” in the Pricing Supplement. Since the Securities are not principal protected and the Principal Amount will be at risk, you could lose substantially all of your investment.
