[424B2] Royal Bank of Canada Prospectus Supplement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Royal Bank of Canada (RY) filed a 424B2 pricing supplement for US$1.757 million of Auto-Callable Contingent Enhanced Return Barrier Notes linked to the worst performer of Amazon.com (AMZN), Alphabet Class A (GOOGL) and Netflix (NFLX).

Structure: The notes are senior unsecured obligations maturing 23 June 2028. They pay no coupons and will be automatically called on 23 June 2026 if each underlier closes at or above its initial level, delivering 141% of par (a 41% return) and terminating the trade.

Upside at maturity: If not called and the worst underlier is above its initial level at final valuation (20 June 2028), investors receive 200% of that positive return, uncapped.

Downside/Barrier: Principal is protected only if the worst underlier remains at or above 60% of its initial level (barrier). A breach results in a 1-for-1 loss of principal, exposing holders to substantial downside.

Key economics: Issue price 100% of par; underwriting discount 2.5%; net proceeds 97.5%. RBC’s estimated initial value is $953.23 per $1,000, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs. Minimum denomination is $1,000. The notes are not exchange-listed and are subject to RBC’s credit risk; they are not bail-inable under Canadian regulation.

Underlier data (trade date 17 June 2025): AMZN $214.82 (barrier $128.89), GOOGL $175.95 (barrier $105.57), NFLX $1,220.67 (barrier $732.40).

The filing contains standard risk language, stresses lack of FDIC/CDIC insurance, and directs investors to accompanying prospectus documents dated December 2023 and product supplement 1A dated May 2024.

Positive

• 41% guaranteed return if all three underliers are at or above initial levels after one year, providing a sizeable potential yield relative to typical fixed-income products.
• 200% upside participation on the worst performer at maturity (if not called) offers leveraged equity exposure without buying options directly.

Negative

• Barrier risk: if the worst underlier falls more than 40%, principal loss is 1-for-1, exposing investors to significant downside.
• Credit risk: payments depend on Royal Bank of Canada’s ability to perform; the note is unsecured and not insured.
• Valuation drag: initial estimated value of $953.23 implies an immediate 4.7% cost to investors.
• No secondary liquidity: the notes are not exchange-listed, and resale pricing may be unfavorable.

Insights

Structured-Products Analyst

TL;DR: Routine structured note; moderate upside, significant barrier risk, limited balance-sheet impact for RBC.

The 424B2 details a small (US$1.8 m) bespoke issuance aimed at retail distribution through RBC Capital Markets. From the bank’s perspective, the note generates fee income (2.5% upfront plus any hedge spread) with negligible capital commitment. Economics favour the issuer: initial estimated value is 4.7% below offer price, and early call at 41% locks in an attractive risk-adjusted yield for RBC while truncating investor upside.

For buyers, the 60% barrier on the worst of three correlated FAANG constituents leaves material tail risk, especially over a three-year observation window. Lack of interim coupons means negative carry until call or maturity. Because the deal size is immaterial to RY’s capital base and does not alter funding profile, market impact is neutral.

Retail-Risk Specialist

TL;DR: High complexity, high downside; suitable only for sophisticated retail investors.

The note offers headline 41% autocall and 200% participation, yet embeds several risks: credit exposure to RBC, valuation opacity, secondary-market illiquidity and the ‘least-performing’ feature that amplifies concentration risk in tech stocks. The sub-60% barrier is far from deep out-of-the-money given historical drawdowns of the underliers. Investors also pay a 2.5% placement fee and accept an immediate mark-to-market of roughly 4.7% below purchase price. Overall risk/return may be unattractive versus simpler equity or option strategies, hence impact on broader markets remains negligible.

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 Barrier Value of 60% of its Initial Underlier Value and the Participation Rate of 200%. The table and examples below also assume that the Notes are not automatically called. The table and examples are only for illustrative purposes and may not show the actual return applicable to investors.

Hypothetical Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier	Payment at Maturity per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes	Payment at Maturity as Percentage of Principal Amount
50.00%	$2,000.00	200.000%
40.00%	$1,800.00	180.000%
30.00%	$1,600.00	160.000%
20.00%	$1,400.00	140.000%

-20.00%	$1,000.00	100.000%
-30.00%	$1,000.00	100.000%
-40.00%	$1,000.00	100.000%
-40.01%	$599.90	59.990%
-50.00%	$500.00	50.000%
-60.00%	$400.00	40.000%
-70.00%	$300.00	30.000%
-80.00%	$200.00	20.000%
-90.00%	$100.00	10.000%
-100.00%	$0.00	0.000%

Example 1 —	The value of the Least Performing Underlier increases from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value by 2%.
	Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier:	2%
	Payment at Maturity:	$1,000 + ($1,000 × 2% × 200%) = $1,000 + $40 = $1,040
	In this example, the payment at maturity is $1,040 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, for a return of 4%. Because the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than its Initial Underlier Value, investors receive a return equal to 200% of the Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier.

P-5  RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Auto-Callable Contingent Enhanced Return 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 Barrier Value).
	Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier:	-10%
	Payment at Maturity:	$1,000
	In this example, the payment at maturity is $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, for a return of 0%. Because the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than its Barrier Value, investors receive a full return of the principal amount of their Notes.

Example 3 —	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 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.

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.

· Your Potential Payment If the Notes Are Automatically Called Is Limited — If the Notes are automatically called, the payment upon automatic call will be a fixed amount, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the Least Performing Underlier, which may be significant. Accordingly, your return on the Notes may be less than your return would be if you made an investment in a security directly linked to the positive performance of the Least Performing Underlier.

· Any Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Solely by the Performance of the Least Performing Underlier Even If the Other Underliers Perform Better — Any payment on the Notes will be determined solely by the performance of the Least Performing Underlier. 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 adversely affect your return on the Notes.

· The Notes Do Not Pay Interest, and Your Return on the Notes May Be Lower Than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity — There will be no periodic interest payments on the Notes as there would be on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security having the same maturity. The return that you will receive on the Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. 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.

· The Notes Are Subject to an Automatic Call — If, on the Call Observation Date, the closing value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Initial Underlier Value, the Notes will be automatically called, and you will not receive any further payments on the Notes. 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.

· 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

P-7  RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Auto-Callable Contingent Enhanced Return Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers

treatment of the Notes are uncertain. 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 underwriting discount, 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 underwriting discount, 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

P-8  RBC Capital Markets, LLC

Auto-Callable Contingent Enhanced Return Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of Three Underliers

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 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 any Underlier.

· 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—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.

· 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 corporate events (such as stock splits or extraordinary or special dividends) that the Calculation Agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of an Underlier. However, the Calculation Agent might not make adjustments in response to all such events that could affect an Underlier. 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 — Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization or other events affecting an Underlier, 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 that Underlier upon the occurrence of that event or (ii) in the case of a reorganization event in which only cash is distributed to holders of that Underlier, a substitute security, if the Calculation Agent elects to select one. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the affected Underlier 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” in the accompanying product 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, 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 that are “open transactions,” as described in the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Financial Contracts that are Open Transactions” 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. Generally, if this treatment is respected, (i) you should not recognize taxable income or loss prior to the taxable disposition of your Notes (including upon maturity or an earlier redemption, if applicable) and (ii) the gain or loss on your Notes should be treated as short-term capital gain or loss unless you have held the Notes for more than one year, in which case your gain or loss should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss.

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. 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, except with respect to certain accounts as indicated on the cover page of this pricing supplement. We or one of our affiliates may pay the underwriting discount and may pay a broker-dealer that is not affiliated with us a referral fee, in each case 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 nine 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, 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 underwriting discount, 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 underwriting discount, 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.

What is the CUSIP for the Royal Bank of Canada auto-callable notes?

The CUSIP is 78017K4Z2.

When can the RY notes be automatically called and what is the payout?

If each underlier closes at or above its initial value on 23 June 2026, the notes are called and pay $1,410 per $1,000 principal (41% gain).

What happens at maturity if the worst stock is below its 60% barrier?

RBC calculated an initial estimated value of $953.23 per $1,000, reflecting embedded fees, hedging costs and market assumptions; it is lower than the $1,000 offer price.

Do the notes pay periodic interest or coupons?

No. The notes do not pay any interest; all return is through potential call or payment at maturity.

Are the notes covered by FDIC or CDIC insurance?

No. The notes are unsecured and are not insured by FDIC, CDIC or any governmental agency.
