Royal Bank of Canada Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes

I nve st m e nt De sc ript ion
Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes (the "Notes") are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by Royal Bank of Canada linked to the performance of the least performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index (each, an
"Underlying Index," and together, the "Underlying Indices"). We will pay a quarterly Contingent Coupon payment if the closing levels of both Underlying Indices on the applicable Coupon Observation Date are equal to or greater than their respective Coupon
Barriers. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that quarter. We will automatically call the Notes early if the closing levels of both Underlying Indices on any quarterly Call Observation Date (beginning after six months) are equal to or greater than their
respective Initial Levels. If the Notes are called, we will pay you the principal amount of your Notes plus the Contingent Coupon for the applicable quarter, and no further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes. If the Notes are not called prior to
maturity and the Final Levels of both Underlying Indices are equal to or greater than their respective Downside Thresholds (which are the same levels as their respective Coupon Barriers), we will pay you a cash payment at maturity equal to the principal
amount of your Notes plus the Contingent Coupon for the final quarter. However, if the Final Level of the Underlying Index with the lowest percentage change from its Initial Level (the "Least Performing Underlying Index") is less than its Downside Threshold,
we will pay you less than the full principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss on your initial investment that is proportionate to the negative performance of the Least Performing Underlying Index over the term of the Notes, and you may lose up to 100%
of your initial investment. The Notes are not subject to conversion into our common shares under subsection 39.2(2.3) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.

commissions related to these sales. See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" below.
The initial estimated value of the Notes as of the Trade Date is $9.9737 per $10 in principal amount, which is less than the price to the public. The actual value of the Notes at any time will reflect many factors, cannot be predicted with accuracy, and may be less than this
amount. We describe our determination of the initial estimated value under "Key Risks," "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" and "Structuring the Notes" below.

Risk of loss a t m a t urit y. The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Notes at maturity. If the Notes are not called, we
will repay you the principal amount of your Notes in cash only if the Final Level of each Underlying Index is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold, and we will only make that payment
at maturity. If the Notes are not called and the Final Level of the Least Performing Underlying Index is less than its Downside Threshold, you will lose some or all of your initial investment in an
amount proportionate to the decline in the level of the Least Performing Underlying Index.

your Notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may have to do so at a loss relative to your initial investment, even if the levels of both Underlying Indices are above their
respective Downside Thresholds.
?
Y ou m a y not re c e ive a ny Cont inge nt Coupons. Royal Bank of Canada will not necessarily make periodic Contingent Coupon payments on the Notes. If the closing level of at least one
Underlying Index on a Coupon Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier, we will not pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to that Coupon Observation Date. If the closing level of
at least one Underlying Index is less than its Coupon Barrier on each of the Coupon Observation Dates, 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 incur a loss of principal, because the Final Level of the Least Performing Underlying Index will be less than its Downside Threshold.

becomes payable prior to maturity or an automatic call. Further, if the Notes are called due to the automatic call feature, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons or any other payment in
respect of any Coupon Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date. Since the Notes could be called as early as the first Call Observation Date, the total return on the Notes
could be limited to six months. If the Notes are not called, you may be subject to the full downside performance of the Least Performing Underlying Index, even though your potential return is
limited to the Contingent Coupon Rate. Generally, the longer the Notes are outstanding, the less likely it is that they will be automatically called due to the decline in the levels of the Underlying
Indices and the shorter time remaining for the levels of the Underlying Indices to recover. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be less than the return on a direct
investment in the equity securities composing the Underlying Indices or on a similar security that allows you to participate in the appreciation of the levels of the Underlying Indices.

of loss a t m a t urit y. "Volatility" refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the levels of the Underlying Indices. The greater the volatility of the Underlying Indices, the more likely it
is that the level of either Underlying Index could close below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date. This risk is generally reflected in a higher Contingent Coupon Rate for the
Notes than the interest rate payable on our conventional debt securities with a comparable term. In addition, lower correlation between the Underlying Indices can also indicate a greater
likelihood of one Underlying Index closing below its Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold on a Coupon Observation Date or Final Valuation Date. This greater risk is also reflected in a higher
Contingent Coupon Rate than on a security linked to Underlying Indices with a greater degree of correlation. However, while the Contingent Coupon is a fixed amount, the Underlying Indices'
volatility and correlation can change significantly over the term of the Notes. The levels of one or both of the Underlying Indices could fall sharply as of the Final Valuation Date, which could
result in missed Contingent Coupon payments and a significant loss of your principal amount.

T he N ot e s m a y be c a lle d e a rly a nd a re subje c t t o re inve st m e nt risk . The Notes will be called automatically if the closing levels of both Underlying Indices are equal to or greater
than their respective Initial Levels on any Call Observation Date. In the event that the Notes are called prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from
an investment in the Notes at a comparable rate of return for a similar level of risk. To the
7
extent you are able to reinvest your proceeds in an investment comparable to the Notes, you will incur transaction costs and the original issue price for such an investment is likely to include
certain built in costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs.
?
T he N ot e s a re subje c t t o our c re dit risk . The Notes are subject to our credit risk, and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. Investors
are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any decline
in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes. 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.

Insurance Corporation ("CDIC") may, in circumstances where we have ceased, or are about to cease, to be viable, assume temporary control or ownership over us and may be granted broad
powers by one or more orders of the Governor in Council (Canada), including the power to sell or dispose of all or a part of our assets, and the power to carry out or cause us to carry out a
transaction or a series of transactions the purpose of which is to restructure our business. See "Description of Debt Securities - Canadian Bank Resolution Powers" in the accompanying
prospectus for a description of the Canadian bank resolution powers, including the bail-in regime. If the CDIC were to take action under the Canadian bank resolution powers with respect to us,
holders of the Notes could be exposed to losses.

T he init ia l e st im a t e d va lue of t he N ot e s is le ss t ha n t he pric e t o t he public . The initial estimated value of the Notes that is set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement
is less than the public offering price you pay for 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 levels of the Underlying Indices, the borrowing rate we pay to issue securities of this kind, and the inclusion in the price to public of our
estimated profit and the 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 the price to public, as any such sale price would not be
expected to include our estimated profit and the costs relating to our hedging of 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
borrowing 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 borrowing 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.

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 and the amounts that may be
paid on the Notes.

investment in the Underlying Indices. In addition, the total return on the Notes will vary based on the number of Coupon 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 automatic call feature, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons or any other payment in respect of any
Coupon Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date. Since the Notes could be called as early as the second Coupon Observation Date, the total return on the Notes could be
limited to six months. On the other hand, if the Notes have not been previously called and if the level of an Underlying Index is less than its Initial Level, as the maturity date approaches and
the remaining number of Coupon

Observation Dates decreases, the Notes are less likely to be automatically called, as there will be a shorter period of time remaining for the level of that Underlying Index to increase to its Initial
Level. If the Notes are not called, you will be subject to the Underlying Indices' risk of decline.

of the Underlying Indices on any trading day increase above their respective Initial Levels or Coupon Barriers, the value of the Notes may not increase in a comparable manner, if at all. It is
possible for the levels of the Underlying Indices to increase while the value of the Notes declines.

of t he U nde rlying I ndic e s. Changes in the levels of the Underlying Indices during the periods between each Coupon Observation Date may not be reflected in the determination as to
whether the Contingent Coupon is payable to you on any Coupon Payment Date or whether the Notes are subject to an automatic call, or the calculation of the amount payable, if any, at
maturity. The calculation agent will determine whether (i) the Contingent Coupon is payable to you on any quarterly Coupon Payment Date or (ii) the Notes are automatically called on any
quarterly Call Observation Date by observing only the closing levels of the Underlying Indices on each Coupon Observation Date. The calculation agent will calculate the payment at maturity by
comparing only the closing level of the Least Performing Underlying Index on the Final Valuation Date relative to its Initial Level. No other levels will be taken into account. As a result, you may
lose some or all of your principal amount even if the level of the Least Performing Underlying Index has risen at certain times during the term of the Notes before falling to a level below its
Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date.

receive the benefit of any contingent repayment of principal associated with the Downside Thresholds if you sell the Notes before the maturity date. The potential returns described in this

reports may be communicated to our respective clients and clients of our respective affiliates. However, these views are subject to change from time to time. Moreover, other professionals who
transact business in markets relating to either Underlying Index, may at any time have significantly different views from those of ours, and those of UBS and its affiliates. For these reasons, you
are encouraged to derive information concerning the Underlying Indices from multiple sources, and you should not rely solely on views expressed by us, UBS, or our respective affiliates.

basket, you will be exposed equally to the risks related to both of the Underlying Indices. Poor performance by either one of the Underlying Indices over the term of the Notes may negatively
affect your return and
9
will not be offset or mitigated by a positive performance by the other Underlying Index. For the Notes to be automatically called or to receive any Contingent Coupon payment or contingent
repayment of principal at maturity from us, both Underlying Indices must close above their Initial Levels, Coupon Barriers and Downside Thresholds, respectively, on the applicable Coupon
Observation Date. In addition, if not called prior to maturity, you may incur a loss proportionate to the negative return of the Least Performing Underlying Index. Accordingly, your investment is
subject to the market risk of each Underlying Index, which results in a higher risk of your not receiving Contingent Coupon payments and incurring a loss at maturity.

you w ill lose som e or a ll of your init ia l inve st m e nt . The risk that you will not receive the Contingent Coupons and that you will lose some or all of your initial investment in the Notes
is greater if you invest in the Notes as opposed to securities that are linked to the performance of a single Underlying Index if their terms are otherwise substantially similar. With a greater total
number of Underlying Indices, it is more likely that an Underlying Index will be below its Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold on a Coupon Observation Date or the Final Valuation Date, and
therefore it is more likely that you will not receive the Contingent Coupons and that at maturity you will receive an amount in cash which is worth less than your principal amount. In addition, the
performances of a pair of Underlying Indices may be positively or negatively correlated, or may not be correlated at all. If the Underlying Indices are not correlated to each other or are
negatively correlated, there is a greater potential for one of those Underlying Indices to close below its Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold or on the Final Valuation Date, respectively, and
therefore the risk of missing a Contingent Coupon payment and that you will lose a portion of your principal at maturity.
It is impossible to predict what the correlations between the Underlying Indices will be over the term of the Notes. The Underlying Indices represent different equity markets and these different
equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the Notes. Although the correlation of the Underlying Indices' performance may change over the term of the Notes, the Contingent
Coupon Rate was determined, in part, based on the Underlying Indices' performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes were determined. As stated
earlier, a higher Contingent Coupon Rate is generally associated with lower correlation of the Underlying Indices, which reflects a greater potential for missed Contingent Coupons and for a loss
on your investment at maturity. See "Correlation of the Underlying Indices" below.

not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. 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 is willing to buy the Notes.

and market factors influenced the terms of the Notes at issuance and will influence their value prior to maturity or an automatic call. These factors are similar in some ways to those that could
affect the value of a combination of instruments that might be used to replicate the payments on the Notes, including a combination of a bond with one or more options or other derivative
instruments. For the market value of the Notes, we expect that, generally, the levels of the Underlying Indices on any day will affect the value of the Notes more than any other single factor.
However, you should not expect the value of the Notes in the secondary market to vary in proportion to changes in the levels of the Underlying Indices. The value of the Notes will be affected
by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
?
the level of the Underlying Indices;
?
whether the levels of the Underlying Indices are below their respective Coupon Barriers or the Downside Thresholds;
?
the actual and expected volatility of the Underlying Indices;
?
the expected correlation of the Underlying Indices;
?
the time remaining to maturity of the Notes;
?
the dividend rates on the securities composing the Underlying Indices;
?
interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as in the markets of the equity securities composing the Underlying Indices;

?
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
?
the occurrence of certain events with respect to the Underlying Indices that may or may not require an adjustment to the terms of the Notes; and

?
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
Some or all of these factors influenced the terms of the Notes at issuance, and will also influence the price you will receive if you choose to sell the Notes prior to maturity. The impact of any of
the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or all of any change resulting from another factor or factors. You may have to sell the Notes at a substantial discount from the principal
amount if, for example, the level of one or both of the Underlying Indices is at, or not sufficiently above, its Downside Threshold.

concerning the calculation of each Underlying Index, additions, deletions or substitutions of the components of that Underlying Index and the manner in which changes affecting those
components, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, may be reflected in the Underlying Index and, therefore, could affect the amounts payable on the Notes, and the market value
of the Notes prior to maturity. The amounts payable on the Notes and their market value could also be affected if the index sponsor changes these policies, for example, by changing the
manner in which it calculates the applicable Underlying Index, or if the index sponsor discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of that Underlying Index, in which case it may become
difficult to determine the market value of the Notes.

determine the amount to be paid on the Notes. The historical performance of each Underlying Index does not give an indication of its future performance. As a result, it is impossible to predict
whether the level of the Underlying Indices will rise or fall during the term of the Notes. The level of each Underlying Index will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic,
financial and other factors. The level of each Underlying Index may decrease such that you may not receive any return on your investment or any Contingent Coupon payments. There can be no
assurance that the level of each Underlying Index will not decrease so that at maturity you will not lose some or all of your investment.

by companies with relatively small market capitalizations. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies.
As a result, the level of this Underlying Index may be more volatile than that of a market measure that does not track solely small-capitalization stocks. Stock prices of small-capitalization
companies are also often more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may
be thinly traded, and be less attractive to many investors if they do not pay dividends. In addition, small capitalization companies are often less well-established and less stable financially than
large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of those individuals. Small capitalization companies tend to have
lower revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their target markets, fewer financial resources and fewer competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies. These
companies may also be more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products or services.

Any of these trading activities could potentially affect the performance of the Underlying Indices and, accordingly, could affect the value of the Notes, and the amounts, if any, payable on the

We, UBS or our respective affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuers of the securities represented by the Underlying Indices, including extending loans to,
or making equity investments in, or providing advisory services to them, including merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of this business, we, UBS or our respective affiliates
may acquire non-public information about these companies, and we will not disclose any such information to you. None of us, UBS or our respective affiliates makes any representation or

Additionally, we, UBS or our respective affiliates may serve as issuer, agent or underwriter for additional issuances of securities with returns linked or related to changes in the level of one or
more of the Underlying Indices. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we could adversely affect the value of the Notes.
We may hedge our obligations under the Notes through certain affiliates, who would expect to make a profit on such hedge. We or our affiliates may adjust these hedges by, among other
things, purchasing or selling those assets at any time, including around the time of each Coupon Observation Date, which could have an impact on the return of the Notes. Because hedging our
obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates' control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a

U se of Proc e e ds a nd H e dging
The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or by one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations
under the Notes. The original issue price of the Notes includes our estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes.
In anticipation of the sale of the Notes, we expect to enter into hedging transactions with one or more of our affiliates, involving the Underlying Indices or the securities composing the Underlying
Indices, and/or related listed and/or over-the-counter derivative instruments prior to or on the Trade Date. From time to time, including around the time of each Coupon Observation Date and the
maturity date, we and our respective affiliates may enter into additional hedging transactions or unwind those that we or they have entered into. In this regard, we and our respective affiliates may:
?
acquire or dispose of investments relating to the Underlying Indices;
?
acquire or dispose of long or short positions in listed or over-the-counter derivative instruments related to the Underlying Indices; or
?
any combination of the above two.

We and our affiliates may acquire a long or short position in securities similar to the Notes from time to time and may, in our or their sole discretion, hold or resell those similar securities.
We and our affiliates may close out our or their hedges at any time during the term of the Notes, including on or before any Coupon Observation Date. That step may, for example, involve sales or
purchases of over-the-counter derivative instruments linked to the Underlying Indices.

Wha t Are t he T a x Conse que nc e s of t he N ot e s?
U .S. Fe de ra l I nc om e T a x Conse que nc e s
The following is a general description of the material U.S. tax considerations relating to the Notes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Notes.
Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences under the tax laws of the country of which they are a resident for tax purposes and the tax laws of
Canada and the U.S. of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving payments under the Notes. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this document and is
subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date.
The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. It applies only to those holders who are not excluded
from the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus. It does not apply to holders subject to special rules including accrual method taxpayers subject to special tax
accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. This discussion applies only to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders that will purchase the Notes upon original issuance and will hold the Notes as
capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, the discussion below assumes that an investor in the Notes will be subject to a significant risk that it will lose a significant amount of
its investment in the Notes. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the Notes in your particular
circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.
NO STATUTORY, JUDICIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY DIRECTLY DISCUSSES HOW THE NOTES SHOULD BE TREATED FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. AS A
RESULT, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES ARE UNCERTAIN. BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR
TAX ADVISOR IN DETERMINING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF
STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of any of the component stocks included in any Underlying Index would be treated as a "passive foreign investment company" within the meaning
of Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code or a "U.S. real property holding corporation" within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the issuer of one or more of such
stocks were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply. You should refer to any available information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the
issuers of the component stock included in any Underlying Index and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you in this regard, if any.
In the opinion of our counsel, Morrison & Foerster LLP, it would generally be reasonable to treat a Note with terms described in this document as a callable pre-paid contingent income-bearing
cash-settled derivative contract linked to the Underlying Indices for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the terms of the Notes require a holder and us (in the absence of a change in law or an
administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the Notes for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. If the Notes are so treated, a U.S. holder should generally recognize
capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of the Notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount a holder receives at such time and the holder's tax basis in the Notes. Capital
gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year and is generally taxed at ordinary income rates where the
property is held for one year or less. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. In addition, we intend to treat the Contingent Coupons as U.S. source income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. The following discussion assumes that the treatment described in this paragraph is proper and will be respected.
Although the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Contingent Coupons is uncertain, we intend to take the position, and the following discussion assumes, that such Contingent Coupons
(including any coupon paid on or with respect to the call or maturity date) constitute taxable ordinary income to a U.S. holder at the time received or accrued in accordance with the holder's regular
method of accounting. If the Notes are treated as described above, a U.S. holder should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the call, sale or maturity of the Notes in an amount equal to
the difference between the amount a holder receives at such time (other than amounts properly attributable to any Contingent Coupon, which would be taxed, as described above, as ordinary
income) and the holder's tax basis in the Notes. In general, a U.S. holder's tax basis in the Notes will be equal to the price the holder paid for the Notes. Capital gain recognized by an individual
U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year and is generally taxed at ordinary income rates where the property is held for one year or less.
The ordinary income treatment of the Contingent Coupons, in conjunction with the capital loss treatment of any loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or maturity of the Notes, could result in
adverse tax consequences to a holder because the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Alternative Treatments. Alternative tax treatments of the Notes are also possible and the IRS might assert that a treatment other than that described above is more appropriate. For example, it
would also be possible to treat the Notes, and the IRS might assert that the Notes should be treated, as a single debt instrument.
Because the Notes have a term that exceeds one year, such a debt instrument would be subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. If the Notes are so treated,
a holder would generally be required to accrue interest income over the term of the Notes based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms
and conditions similar to the Notes. In addition, any gain a holder might recognize upon the call,
1 6
sale or maturity of the Notes would be ordinary income and any loss recognized by a holder at such time would generally be ordinary loss to the extent of interest that same holder included in
income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of the Notes, and thereafter, would be capital loss.
Because of the absence of authority regarding the appropriate tax characterization of the Notes, it is also possible that the IRS could seek to characterize the Notes in a manner that results in other
tax consequences that are different from those described above. For example, the IRS could possibly assert that any gain or loss that a holder may recognize upon the call, sale or maturity of the
Notes should be treated as ordinary gain or loss.
The IRS has released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Notes. According to the notice, the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department are actively considering whether the holder of
an instrument similar to the Notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible,
however, that under such guidance, holders of the Notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis.
The IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital and
whether the special "constructive ownership rules" of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gains as ordinary
income and impose an interest charge, might be applied to such instruments. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above
considerations. We intend to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described in this document unless and until such time as the U.S. Treasury
Department and IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Payments made with respect to the Notes and proceeds from the sale of the Notes may be subject to a backup withholding tax unless, in general,
the holder complies with certain procedures or is an exempt recipient. Any amounts so withheld generally will be refunded by the IRS or allowed as a credit against the holder's U.S. federal income
tax liability, provided the holder makes a timely filing of an appropriate tax return or refund claim to the IRS.
Reports will be made to the IRS and to holders that are not exempted from the reporting requirements.
Individual holders that own "specified foreign financial assets" may be required to include certain information with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax return. You are urged to
consult your own tax advisor regarding such requirements with respect to the Notes.
Non-U.S. Holders. The following discussion applies to non-U.S. holders of the Notes. A non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of the Notes that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a non-
resident alien individual, a foreign corporation, or a foreign estate or trust.
While the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes (including proper characterization of the Contingent Coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is uncertain, U.S. federal income tax at
a 30% rate (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) will be withheld in respect of the Contingent Coupons paid to a non-U.S. holder unless such payments are effectively
connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the U.S. (in which case, to avoid withholding, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide a Form W-8ECI). We will
not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. To claim benefits under an income tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder must obtain a taxpayer identification number and certify as to its
eligibility under the appropriate treaty's limitations on benefits article, if applicable (which certification may generally be made on a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or a substitute or successor
form). In addition, special rules may apply to claims for treaty benefits made by corporate non-U.S. holders. A non-U.S. holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax
pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. The availability of a lower rate of withholding or an
exemption from withholding under an applicable income tax treaty will depend on the proper characterization of the Contingent Coupons under U.S. federal income tax laws and whether such treaty
rate or exemption applies to such Contingent Coupon payments. No assurance can be provided on the proper characterization of the Contingent Coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes and,
accordingly, no assurance can be provided on the availability of benefits under any income tax treaty. Non-U.S. holders must consult their tax advisors in this regard.
Except as discussed below, a non-U.S. holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain (not including for the avoidance of doubt any amounts properly
attributable to any Contingent Coupon which would be subject to the rules discussed in the previous paragraph) upon the call, sale or maturity of the Notes, provided that (i) the holder complies with
any applicable certification requirements (which certification may generally be made on a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or a substitute or successor form), (ii) the payment is not effectively
connected with the conduct by the holder of a U.S. trade or business, and (iii) if the holder is a non-resident alien individual, such holder is not present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the
taxable year of the call, sale or maturity of the Notes. In the case of (ii) above, the holder generally would be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any income or gain in the same
manner as if the holder were a U.S. holder and, in the case of a holder that is a corporation, the holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate provided by an
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1000275/000114036119022601/form424b2.htm[12/16/2019 2:58:24 PM]


applicable U.S. income tax treaty) of a portion of its earnings and profits for the taxable year that are effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the U.S., subject to certain
adjustments. Payments made to a non-U.S. holder may be subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless the holder complies with applicable certification and identification
requirements as to its foreign status. As discussed above, alternative characterizations of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes are possible. Should an alternative characterization, by
reason of change or clarification of the law, by regulation or otherwise, cause payments as to the Notes to
1 7
become subject to withholding tax in addition to the withholding tax described above, we will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate. The IRS has also indicated that it is considering whether
income in respect of instruments such as the Notes should be subject to withholding tax. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
Under Section 871(m) of the Code, a "dividend equivalent" payment is treated as a dividend from sources within the United States. Such payments generally would be subject to a 30% U.S.
withholding tax if paid to a non-U.S. holder. Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, payments (including deemed payments) with respect to equity-linked instruments ("ELIs") that are
"specified ELIs" may be treated as dividend equivalents if such specified ELIs reference an interest in an "underlying security," which is generally any interest in an entity taxable as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes if a payment with respect to such interest could give rise to a U.S. source dividend. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the U.S. Treasury
Department and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the U.S. Treasury Department regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs
that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1, 2021. Based on our determination that the Notes are not delta-one instruments, non-U.S. holders should not be subject to
withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the Notes. However, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the
occurrence of certain events affecting the Underlying Indices or the Notes (for example, upon an Underlying Index rebalancing), and following such occurrence the Notes could be treated as subject
to withholding on dividend equivalent payments. Non-U.S. holders that enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Underlying Indices or the Notes should consult their tax
advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the Notes and their other transactions. If any payments are treated as dividend equivalents subject to
withholding, we (or the applicable withholding agent) would be entitled to withhold taxes without being required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
Individual holders that own "specified foreign financial assets" may be required to include certain information with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax return. You are urged to
consult your own tax advisor regarding such requirements with respect to the Notes.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments of interest (and original issue
discount), dividends, or other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits, and income, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which can produce U.S. source
interest or dividends ("Withholdable Payments"), if paid to a foreign financial institution (including amounts paid to a foreign financial institution on behalf of a holder), unless such institution enters
into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and provide to the U.S. Treasury Department certain information regarding U.S. financial account holders, including certain account
holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, with such institution, or otherwise complies with the legislation. In addition, the Notes may constitute a "financial account" for these purposes and,
thus, be subject to information reporting requirements pursuant to FATCA. FATCA also generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on Withholdable Payments made to a non-financial foreign entity
unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of
the entity. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Recently proposed regulations eliminate the requirement of withholding on payments of gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of financial instruments. The U.S. Treasury Department has
indicated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization. If we determine withholding is appropriate with respect to the Notes, we will withhold tax at the applicable
statutory rate, and we will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. Therefore, if such withholding applies, any payments on the Notes will be significantly less than what you
would have otherwise received. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing
FATCA may be subject to different rules. Prospective investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in the Notes.

We have derived all information contained in this document regarding each of the Underlying Indices, including, without limitation, its make up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, from publicly
available sources. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the applicable index sponsor. Each index sponsor, which owns the copyright and all other rights to the applicable Underlying
Index, has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, that Underlying Index. The consequences of an index sponsor discontinuing publication of the applicable Underlying Index are
discussed below under the heading "General Terms of the Notes--Discontinuation of an Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation." None of us, UBS or RBCCM accepts any responsibility for the
calculation, maintenance or publication of any Underlying Index or any successor index.
T he S& P 5 0 0 ® I nde x
The SPX is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movement in the large capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. The calculation of the level of the SPX is based on the
relative value of the aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during
the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.
The index sponsor calculates the SPX by reference to the prices of the constituent stocks of the SPX without taking account of the value of dividends paid on those stocks. As a result, the return on the Notes will not
reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the SPX constituent stocks and received the dividends paid on those stocks.
Com put a t ion of t he SPX
While the index sponsor currently employs the following methodology to calculate the SPX, no assurance can be given that the index sponsor will not modify or change this methodology in a manner that may affect the
Payment at Maturity.
Historically, the market value of any component stock of the SPX was calculated as the product of the market price per share and the number of then outstanding shares of such component stock. In March 2005, the
index sponsor began shifting the SPX halfway from a market capitalization weighted formula to a float-adjusted formula, before moving the SPX to full float adjustment on September 16, 2005. The index sponsor's
criteria for selecting stocks for the SPX did not change with the shift to float adjustment. However, the adjustment affects each company's weight in the SPX.
Under float adjustment, the share counts used in calculating the SPX reflect only those shares that are available to investors, not all of a company's outstanding shares. Float adjustment excludes shares that are
closely held by control groups, other publicly traded companies or government agencies.
In September 2012, all shareholdings representing more than 5% of a stock's outstanding shares, other than holdings by "block owners," were removed from the float for purposes of calculating the SPX. Generally,
these "control holders" will include officers and directors, private equity, venture capital and special equity firms, other publicly traded companies that hold shares for control, strategic partners, holders of restricted
shares, ESOPs, employee and family trusts, foundations associated with the company, holders of unlisted share classes of stock, government entities at all levels (other than government retirement/pension funds)
and any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings. However, holdings by block owners, such as depositary banks, pension funds, mutual funds and ETF
providers, 401(k) plans of the company, government retirement/pension funds, investment funds of insurance companies, asset managers and investment funds, independent foundations and savings and investment
plans, will ordinarily be considered part of the float.
Treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. Shares held in a trust to allow investors in countries outside the
country of domicile, such as depositary shares and Canadian exchangeable shares are normally part of the float unless those shares form a control block.
For each stock, an investable weight factor ("IWF") is calculated by dividing the available float shares by the total shares outstanding. Available float shares are defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held
by control holders. This calculation is subject to a 5% minimum threshold for control blocks. For example, if a company's officers and directors hold 3% of the company's shares, and no other control group holds 5%
of the company's shares, the index sponsor would assign that company an IWF of 1.00, as no control group meets the 5% threshold. However, if a company's officers and directors hold 3% of the company's shares
and another control group holds 20% of the company's shares, the index sponsor would assign an IWF of 0.77, reflecting the fact that 23% of the company's outstanding shares are considered to be held for control.
As of July 31, 2017, companies with multiple share class lines are no longer eligible for inclusion in the SPX. Constituents of the SPX prior to July 31, 2017 with multiple share class lines will be grandfathered in and
continue to be included in the SPX. If a constituent company of the SPX reorganizes into a multiple share class line structure, that company will remain in the SPX at the discretion of the S&P Index Committee in
order to minimize turnover

The SPX is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology. The level of the SPX reflects the total market value of all 500 component stocks relative to the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. An
indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the level easier to work with and track over time. The actual total market value of the component stocks during the base period of the
years 1941 through 1943 has been set to an indexed level of 10. This is often indicated by the notation 1941- 43 = 10. In practice, the daily calculation of the SPX is computed by dividing the total market value of the
component stocks by the "index divisor." By itself, the index divisor is an arbitrary number. However, in the context of the calculation of the SPX, it serves as a link to the original base period level of the SPX. The index
divisor keeps the SPX comparable over time and is the manipulation point for all adjustments to the SPX, which is index maintenance.

Index maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructuring or
spinoffs. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the SPX, and do not require index divisor
adjustments.
To prevent the level of the SPX from changing due to corporate actions, corporate actions which affect the total market value of the SPX require an index divisor adjustment. By adjusting the index divisor for the
change in market value, the level of the SPX remains constant and does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the SPX. Index divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading and after the
calculation of the index closing level.
Changes in a company's shares outstanding and IWF due to its acquisition of another public company are made as soon as reasonably possible. At S&P's discretion, de minimis merger and acquisition share changes
are accumulated and implemented with the quarterly share rebalancing.
All other changes of less than 5% are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.
Changes in a company's total shares outstanding of 5% or more due to public offerings are made as soon as reasonably possible. Other changes of 5% or more (for example, due to tender offers, Dutch auctions,
voluntary exchange offers, company stock repurchases, private placements, acquisitions of private companies or non-index companies that do not trade on a major exchange, redemptions, exercise of options,
warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participations, at-the-market stock offerings or other recapitalizations) are made weekly, and are generally announced on Fridays for implementation after
the close of trading the following Friday (one week later). If a 5% or more share change causes a company's IWF to change by five percentage points or more, the IWF is updated at the same time as the share
change. IWF changes resulting from partial tender offers are considered on a case-by-case basis.
