RBC Capital Markets, LLC, which we refer to as RBCCM, acting as agent for Royal Bank of Canada, will receive a commission of $22.50 per $1,000 in principal
amount of the Notes and will use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers of up to $22.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of the
Notes. The other dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions. See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)"

U.S. Tax Treatment:
By purchasing a Note, each holder agrees (in the absence of a change in law, an administrative
determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the Notes as a cal able pre-paid cash-
settled contingent income-bearing derivative contract linked to the Reference Stock for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your
investment in the Notes are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the
Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different from that described in the preceding sentence.
Please see the section below, "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences," and the discussion (including the opinion of our counsel Morrison & Foerster
LLP) in the product prospectus supplement dated September 10, 2018 under "Supplemental
Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences," which apply to the Notes.

contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms,

should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors" in the prospectus supplement dated September 7,
2018 and in the product prospectus supplement dated September 10, 2018, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional
debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Notes. You

Auto-Cal able Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity
The following hypothetical examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated, assuming the
Notes have not been called.
Example 1: The price of the Reference Stock increases by 25% from the Initial Stock Price of $100.00 to the Final Stock Price of
$125.00. Because the Final Stock Price is greater than the Trigger Price and its Coupon Barrier, the investor receives at maturity, in
addition to the final Contingent Coupon otherwise due on the Notes, a cash payment of $1,000 per Note, despite the 25% appreciation
in the price of the Reference Stock.
Example 2: The price of the Reference Stock decreases by 10% from the Initial Stock Price of $100.00 to the Final Stock Price
of $90.00. Because the Final Stock Price is greater than the Trigger Price and its Coupon Barrier, the investor receives at maturity, in
addition to the final Contingent Coupon otherwise due on the Notes, a cash payment of $1,000 per Note, despite the 10% decline in the
price of the Reference Stock.
Example 3: The price of the Reference Stock decreases by 60% from the Initial Stock Price of $100.00 to the Final Stock Price
of $40.00. Because the Final Stock Price is less than the Trigger Price and its Coupon Barrier, the final Contingent Coupon will not be
payable on the Maturity Date, and we will pay only $400.00 for each $1,000 in the principal amount of the Notes, calculated as follows:
Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Reference Stock Return)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 x -60.00%) = $1,000 - $600.00 = $400.00
* * *
The Payments at Maturity shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on theoretical prices of the Reference Stock that may
not be achieved on the Valuation Date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your Notes on
the Maturity Date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your Notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical
Payments at Maturity shown above, and those amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in
the Notes.

Auto-Cal able Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Stock.
These risks are explained in more detail in the section "Risk Factors," in the product prospectus supplement. In addition to the risks
described in the prospectus supplement and the product prospectus supplement, you should consider the following:
·
Principal at Risk -- Investors in the Notes could lose all or a substantial portion of their principal amount if there is a decline in
the trading price of the Reference Stock between the Trade Date and the Valuation Date. If the Notes are not automatically
called and the Final Stock Price on the Valuation Date is less than the Trigger Price, the amount of cash that you receive at

maturity will represent a loss of your principal that is proportionate to the decline in the closing price of the Reference Stock
from the Trade Date to the Valuation Date. Any Contingent Coupons received on the Notes prior to the Maturity Date may not
be sufficient to compensate for any such loss.
·
The Notes Are Subject to an Automatic Call -- If on any Observation Date, beginning in February 2020, the closing price of
the Reference Stock is greater than or equal to the Call Stock Price, then the Notes will be automatically called. If the Notes are
automatically called, then, on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 in principal amount, you will receive $1,000

plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due on the applicable Call Settlement Date. You will not receive any Contingent
Coupons after the Call Settlement Date. 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.
·
You May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupons -- We will not necessarily make any coupon payments on the Notes. If the
closing price of the Reference Stock on an Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, we will not pay you the
Contingent Coupon applicable to that Observation Date. If the closing price of the Reference Stock is less than the Coupon

Barrier on each of the Observation Dates and on the Valuation Date, 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 period of greater risk of principal loss on your Notes. Accordingly, if we do not pay the Contingent Coupon on
the Maturity Date, you will also incur a loss of principal, because the Final Stock Price will be less than the Trigger Price.
·
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 Reference Stock. In addition, the
total return on the Notes will vary based on the number of 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 Call Feature, you will not receive any

Contingent Coupons or any other payment in respect of any Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date. Since
the Notes could be called as early as February 2020, 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 Reference Stock even though your potential return is limited to the
Contingent Coupon Rate. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be less than the return on a direct
investment in the Reference Stock.
·
Your Return May Be Lower than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable 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 bought a conventional senior interest
bearing debt security of Royal Bank.
·
Payments on the Notes Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Changes in Our Credit Ratings Are Expected to Affect the
Market Value of the Notes -- The Notes are our senior unsecured debt securities. As a result, your receipt of any Contingent

Coupons, if payable, and the amount due on any relevant payment date is dependent upon our ability to repay our obligations
on the applicable payment dates. This will be the case even if the price of the Reference Stock increases after the Trade Date.
No assurance can be given as to what our financial condition will be during the term of 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. RBCCM or any

other affiliate of ours may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the Notes develops, it
may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary
market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your Notes in any secondary market could
be substantial.
·
Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Reference Stock -- The return on your Notes is unlikely to reflect the
return you would realize if you actually owned the Reference Stock. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive
any dividend payments or other distributions on the Reference Stock during the term of your Notes. As an owner of the Notes,

you will not have voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Reference Stock may have. Furthermore, the Reference
Stock may appreciate substantially during the term of the Notes, while your potential return will be limited to the applicable

There Is No Affiliation Between the Reference Stock Issuer and RBCCM, and RBCCM Is Not Responsible for any
Disclosure by the Reference Stock Issuer -- We are not affiliated with the Reference Stock Issuer. However, we and our
affiliates may currently, or from time to time in the future, engage in business with the Reference Stock Issuer. Nevertheless,
neither we nor our affiliates assume any responsibilities for the accuracy or the completeness of any information that any other

company prepares. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the Reference Stock. The
Reference Stock Issuer is not involved in this offering and has no obligation of any sort with respect to your Notes. The
Reference Stock Issuer has no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any
corporate actions that might affect the value of your Notes.
·
Our Business Activities May Create Conflicts of Interest -- We and our affiliates expect to engage in trading activities
related to the Reference Stock that are not for the account of holders of the Notes or on their behalf. These trading activities
may present a conflict between the holders' interests in the Notes and the interests we and our affiliates will have in their
proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for their customers and in
accounts under their management. These trading activities, if they influence the prices of the Reference Stock, could be
adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes. We and one or more of our affiliates may, at present or in the future,

engage in business with the Reference Stock Issuer, including making loans to or providing advisory services. These services
could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These activities may present a conflict
between our or one or more of our affiliates' obligations and your interests as a holder of the Notes. Moreover, we and our
affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to the Reference Stock. This
research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are
inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. Any of these activities by us or one or more of our affiliates may affect the
price of the Reference Stock, and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
·
The Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Less than the Price to the Public -- The initial estimated value that is set forth
on the cover page of this pricing supplement does not represent a minimum price at which we, RBCCM or any of our 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 Reference Stock, the borrowing rate we pay to issue securities of this kind, and
the inclusion in the price to the public of the underwriting discount 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 and the hedging costs relating to the Notes. In addition to bid-ask spreads, the
value of the Notes determined by RBCCM for any secondary market price is expected to be based on the secondary rate rather
than the internal funding rate used to price the Notes and determine the initial estimated value. As a result, the secondary price
will be less than if the internal funding 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.
·
The Initial Estimated Value on the Cover Page of this Pricing Supplement Is an Estimate Only, Calculated as of the
Time the Terms of the Notes Were Set -- 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 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 your Notes.
·
Market Disruption Events and Adjustments -- The payment at maturity, each Observation Date and the Valuation Date are
subject to adjustment as described in the product prospectus supplement. For a description of what constitutes a market

disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see "General Terms of the Notes -- Market
Disruption Events" in the product prospectus supplement.
