to your Notes.
The accompanying product prospectus supplement notes that FATCA withholding on payments of
gross proceeds from a sale or redemption of the Notes will only apply to payments made after
December 31, 2018. That discussion is modified to reflect regulations proposed by the U.S. Treasury
Department indicating an intent to eliminate the requirement under FATCA of withholding on gross
proceeds of the disposition of financial instruments. The U.S. Treasury Department has indicated that
taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization. Prospective investors are
urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their
investment in the Notes.

ADDI T I ON AL RI SK FACT ORS
The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed rate notes. This section describes the most significant
risks relating to the terms of the Notes. For additional information as to these risks, please see the product prospectus supplement
FIN-1 dated September 20, 2018 and the prospectus supplement dated September 7, 2018. You should carefully consider whether
the Notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. Accordingly, prospective investors
should consult their financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the
Notes in light of their particular circumstances.
Ea rly Re de m pt ion Risk . 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 their stated 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 their stated 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.

t he M a rk e t V a lue of t he N ot e s. Investors are dependent on Royal Bank's ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes on the
interest payment dates and at maturity, and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of Royal Bank and to changes in the
market's view of Royal Bank's creditworthiness. Any decrease in Royal Bank's credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads
charged by the market for taking Royal Bank's credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes.

AGREEM EN T WI T H RESPECT T O T H E EX ERCI SE OF CAN ADI AN BAI L-I N
POWERS
By its acquisition of the Notes, each holder or beneficial owner is deemed to (i) agree to be bound, in respect of that Note, by the
CDIC Act, including the conversion of that Note, in whole or in part by means of a transaction or series of transactions and in
one or more steps into common shares of the Bank or any of its affiliates under subsection 39.2(2.3) of the CDIC Act and the
variation or extinguishment of that Note in consequence, and by the application of the laws of the Province of Ontario and the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein in respect of the operation of the CDIC Act with respect to that Note; (ii) attorn and
submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in the Province of Ontario with respect to the CDIC Act and those laws; and (iii) acknowledge
and agree that the terms referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii), above, are binding on that holder or beneficial owner despite any
provisions in the indenture or that Note, any other law that governs that Note and any other agreement, arrangement or
understanding between that holder or beneficial owner and the Bank with respect to that Note.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1000275/000114036119017867/form424b2.htm[10/3/2019 11:22:06 AM]

Holders and beneficial owners of any Note will have no further rights in respect of that Note to the extent that Note is converted in
a bail-in conversion, other than those provided under the bail-in regime, and by its acquisition of an interest in any Note, each
holder or beneficial owner of that Note is deemed to irrevocably consent to the converted portion of the principal amount of that
Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon being deemed paid in full by the Bank by the issuance of common shares of the
Bank (or, if applicable, any of its affiliates) upon the occurrence of a bail-in conversion, which bail-in conversion will occur without
any further action on the part of that holder or beneficial owner or the trustee; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this
consent will not limit or otherwise affect any rights that holders or beneficial owners may have under the bail-in regime.
See "Description of Notes We May Offer?Special Provisions Related to Bail-inable Notes" in the accompanying prospectus
supplement dated September 7, 2018 for a description of provisions applicable to the Notes as a result of Canadian bail-in powers.

SU PPLEM EN T AL PLAN OF DI ST RI BU T I ON (CON FLI CT S OF I N T EREST )
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on or about October 11, 2019, which is the
second (2nd) business day following the Pricing Date (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+2"). See "Plan of Distribution" in
the prospectus supplement dated September 7, 2018. For additional information as to the relationship between us and RBC Capital
Markets, LLC, please see the section "Plan of Distribution--Conflicts of Interest" in the prospectus dated September 7, 2018.
After the initial offering of the Notes, the price to the public may change.
We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, RBC Capital Markets, LLC 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.
Each of RBCCM and any other broker-dealer offering the Notes have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not
offer, sell or otherwise make available any of the Notes to, any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these
purposes, the expression "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of
the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, and a "retail
investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (a) a retail client, as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU
(as amended, "MiFID II"); or (b) a customer, within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, as amended, where that customer would
not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (c) not a qualified investor as defined in
Regulation (EU) (2017/1129) (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared, and therefore, offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
