RBC (RBMCF) launches 10‑Year CMT range accrual notes, $955–$1,000 price

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Royal Bank of Canada is offering Redeemable Fixed to Floating Range Accrual Notes based on the 10-year CMT rate with a Maturity Date of April 1, 2036. The Notes pay 9.25% per annum during a Fixed Rate Period through April 1, 2027, then a floating rate equal to 9.25% × (Accrual Days/Calendar Days) when the Reference Rate is between the Lower Barrier 0.00% and Upper Barrier 5.00%. The public offering price will be between $955.00 and $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount; the issuer’s initial estimated value is expected between $900.00 and $950.00 per $1,000. Interest is payable quarterly beginning July 1, 2026. The Notes are callable by the issuer on any Interest Payment Date beginning April 1, 2027 with at least 10 business days’ notice. All payments are subject to Royal Bank of Canada credit risk; the offering document highlights limited liquidity, potential conflicts of interest from the Calculation Agent, and tax characterization that may be either variable rate debt or contingent payment debt.

Insights

Fixed‑Income Structurer

Range accrual design trades fixed early yield for conditional floating payments.

The Notes provide a fixed 9.25% coupon for the initial year and then a range‑accrual floating calculation tied to the 10‑year CMT. Coupon during the Floating Rate Period equals 9.25% multiplied by the ratio of Accrual Days to calendar days when the Reference Rate lies between 0.00% and 5.00%.

Key dependencies include realized 10‑year CMT levels and the Calculation Agent’s determinations; results vary from 0.00% to the full fixed rate shown in the hypothetical table. Pricing reflects underwriting and hedging costs, producing an $900–$950 initial estimated value versus the offering price.

Market Liquidity & Distribution Analyst

Secondary market liquidity and pricing are limited and dealer‑dependent.

RBCCM and affiliates may make a market but are not required to do so; other dealers are unlikely to provide liquidity. Any early sale may incur wide bid‑ask spreads and substantial transaction costs, potentially producing significant losses relative to purchase price.

For approximately six months post‑issue, account statement values may reflect underwriting discounts and hedging profits; thereafter repurchase pricing is expected to reflect estimated value without that excess.

Tax Counsel (U.S. Federal Income Tax)

Tax treatment may be variable‑rate debt or contingent payment debt.

Counsel views it as reasonable to treat the Notes as debt for U.S. federal tax purposes. The final pricing supplement will state whether the Notes are variable rate debt instruments or contingent payment debt instruments, which determines interest timing and characterization of gain or loss.

Investors should consult tax advisers because the two classifications have materially different accrual and disposition rules.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes

Determination of the 10-Year CMT Rate

The 10-year CMT rate on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day is the yield for non-inflation-indexed Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for the 10-year designated maturity as published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source for that day, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If that rate does not appear on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, or in another recognized electronic source by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day following the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is a date of determination, then the 10-year CMT rate for the relevant date of determination will be the yield for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” for the 10-year designated maturity that (a) has been published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or the U.S. Department of the Treasury; and (b) is determined by the Calculation Agent to be comparable to the applicable rate that would otherwise have been published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, or in another

P-4 RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Redeemable Fixed to Floating Range Accrual Notes Based on the 10-Year CMT Rate

recognized electronic source for that date of determination, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. If the 10-year CMT rate cannot be determined as described above, then the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems appropriate, will determine the 10-year CMT rate for that date of determination in its sole discretion.

Discontinuance of the 10-Year CMT Rate

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion on or prior to a relevant day that the 10-year CMT rate has been discontinued or has ceased to be published permanently or indefinitely, then the Calculation Agent will use as the 10-year CMT rate for that day a substitute or successor rate that it has determined in its sole discretion to be a commercially reasonable replacement rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent may determine in its sole discretion to make adjustments to the definitions of business day and interest determination date and any other relevant methodology for calculating that substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor, spread and/or formula it determines is needed to make that substitute or successor rate comparable to the 10-year CMT rate, in a manner that it determines to be consistent with industry-accepted practices for that substitute or successor rate.

If the 10-year CMT rate has been discontinued or has ceased to be published permanently or indefinitely and no substitute or successor rate is chosen by the Calculation Agent as described above, then the Calculation Agent will calculate the 10-year CMT rate on each subsequent date of determination in its sole discretion.

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS

An investment in the Notes involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed to floating rate notes. 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

· The Notes May Pay a Below-Market Rate or No Interest at All on One or More Interest Payment Dates During the Floating Rate Period — During the Floating Rate Period, interest will accrue on the Notes only on each Accrual Day, which is a calendar day for which the Reference Rate is (a) greater than or equal to the Lower Barrier and (b) less than or equal to the Upper Barrier. If there are no Accrual Days during an Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period, no interest will be payable with respect to that Interest Period. You may not receive any interest payments during the Floating Rate Period. Your return may be less than the return you would earn if you purchased one of our conventional senior interest-bearing debt securities.

· The Interest Rate on the Notes Will Be Capped — During the Fixed Rate Period, the Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.25% per annum. During the Floating Rate Period, the Notes will bear interest at a variable rate that will not exceed 9.25% per annum.

· The Notes Are Subject to the Risk of an Early Redemption — We have the option to redeem the Notes on the Call Dates set forth above. It is more likely that we will redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date to the extent that the interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on our other instruments of a comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you may have to re-invest the proceeds in a lower rate environment, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes.

· Notes with a Longer Term May Be Riskier than Notes with a Shorter Term — By purchasing a note with a longer tenor, you are more exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a security with a shorter tenor. The value of a longer-dated note tends to be more sensitive to rising interest rates than the value of a shorter-dated note. If interest rates rise, the value of a longer-dated note will typically fall faster than the value of a shorter-dated note. You should only purchase the Notes if you are comfortable with owning a security with a longer tenor.

· 10-Year CMT Rate Levels Will Be Unequally Weighted in Determining the Interest Rate for Each Interest Period During the Floating Rate Period — If any day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the Reference Rate for that day will be the 10-year CMT rate for the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. In addition, for each day from and including the fifth U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date to but excluding that Interest Payment Date, the Reference Rate will be the 10-year CMT rate for the fifth U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. As a result, 10-year CMT rate levels will be unequally weighted in determining the Interest Rate for each Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period. This could reduce the Interest Rate for one or more Interest Periods during the Floating Rate Period if a 10-year CMT rate level referenced for multiple calendar days is below the Lower Barrier or above the Upper Barrier.

· 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.

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

P-7 RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Redeemable Fixed to Floating Range Accrual Notes Based on the 10-Year CMT Rate

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 Will Be Less Than the Public Offering Price — The initial estimated value of the Notes will be 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 level of the Reference Rate, our credit ratings and financial condition, 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 underwriting discount, 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 underwriting discount, 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 Pricing 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 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 Pricing 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 level of the Reference Rate 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 levels of the Reference Rate 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 Reference Rate” below. In making these

P-8 RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Redeemable Fixed to Floating Range Accrual Notes Based on the 10-Year CMT Rate

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 Reference Rate

· The Reference Rate Will Be Affected by a Number of Factors and May Be Volatile — Many factors may affect the Reference Rate including, but not limited to:

· sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;

· expectations regarding the level of price inflation;

· sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets;

· central bank policy regarding interest rates;

· inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and

· performance of capital markets.

These and other factors may have a negative impact on the payments on the Notes and on the value of the Notes in the secondary market. Additionally, these factors may cause the Reference Rate to be volatile, and volatility of the Reference Rate may adversely affect your return on the Notes.

· The Reference Rate and the Manner in Which It Is Calculated May Change in the Future — There can be no assurance that the method by which the Reference Rate is calculated will continue in its current form. Any changes in the method of calculation of the Reference Rate could reduce the amount of interest payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period.

· The Reference Rate May Be Determined by the Calculation Agent in Its Sole Discretion or, If It Is Discontinued or Ceased to Be Published Permanently or Indefinitely, Replaced by a Successor or Substitute Rate — If the 10-year CMT rate is not published on a relevant day, then the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems appropriate, will have the discretion to determine the Reference Rate for that day.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion on or prior to the relevant day that the 10-year CMT rate has been discontinued or has ceased to be published permanently or indefinitely, then the Calculation Agent will use as the Reference Rate for that day a substitute or successor rate that it has determined to be a commercially reasonable replacement rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent may determine in its sole discretion to make adjustments to the definitions of business day and interest determination date and any other relevant methodology for calculating that substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor, spread and/or formula it determines is needed to make that substitute or successor rate comparable to the 10-year CMT rate. If the 10-year CMT rate has been discontinued or has ceased to be published permanently or indefinitely and no substitute or successor rate is chosen by the Calculation Agent, then the Calculation Agent will calculate the 10-year CMT rate on each subsequent date of determination in its sole discretion.

Any of the foregoing determinations or actions by the Calculation Agent could result in adverse consequences to level of the Reference Rate used on the applicable interest determination date, which could adversely affect the return on and the market value of the Notes.

P-9 RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Redeemable Fixed to Floating Range Accrual Notes Based on the 10-Year CMT Rate

INFORMATION REGARDING THE REFERENCE RATE

The Reference Rate on any date of determination is the constant maturity Treasury rate for a 10-year designated maturity that is published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors on that date, as determined by the Calculation Agent. The Reference Rate is subject to the provisions set forth under “Additional Terms of Your Notes—Supplemental Terms of the Notes” in this pricing supplement. The constant maturity Treasury rate for a designated maturity (e.g., 10 years) is intended to be indicative of the bond equivalent yield of a U.S. Treasury security having a remaining term to maturity equivalent to such designated maturity. The constant maturity Treasury rate as of any business day is derived from the daily yield curve of outstanding non-inflation-indexed Treasury securities calculated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This yield curve, which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on (a) composites of over-the-counter market bid price quotations (not actual transactions) on actively traded Treasury securities reported by leading U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the Calculation Agent or our other affiliates, and (b) an interpolation methodology used to calculate theoretical yields for designated maturities that fall between the remaining terms to maturity of actively traded Treasury securities. The constant maturity Treasury rate for a 10-year designated maturity is the yield that is indicated at the 10-year point on this yield curve. The constant maturity Treasury rate represents a “bond equivalent yield” for a bond that pays semiannual interest, which is expressed on a simple annualized basis. As such, the constant maturity Treasury rate is not an annualized percentage yield, which would include the effect of compounding.

The Federal Reserve System Board of Governors currently publishes the 10-year CMT rate daily on its website. Information contained in the publication page for the 10-year CMT rate is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered part of, this pricing supplement.

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.

In the opinion of our counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as debt, and the remaining discussion is based on this treatment. Based on market conditions as of the pricing date, we will determine whether the Notes are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) as “variable rate debt instruments” or (2) as “contingent payment debt instruments,” and the final pricing supplement will give further information on this issue.

If the Notes are treated as variable rate debt instruments, all stated interest on the Notes will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your method of tax accounting. See the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Debt Instruments—Notes Treated as Variable Rate Debt Instruments—Interest on VRDIs That Provide for a Single Variable Rate” in the accompanying product supplement.

If the Notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments, (i) you will be required to recognize interest income based on our “comparable yield” for a similar non-contingent debt instrument and a “projected payment schedule” in respect of the Notes, adjusted each year to take account for the difference between the actual and the projected payments in that year, and (ii) you generally must treat any gain on a taxable disposition as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions, with the balance treated as capital loss. See the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Debt Instruments — Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, 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)

After the initial offering of the Notes, the public offering price of the Notes may change.

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 underwriting discount 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 underwriting discount 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 underwriting discount 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 Will Be Less Than the Public Offering Price” above.
