TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2020 /CNW/ – Royal Bank of Canada (TSX: RY) (NYSE: RY) today announced that during the conversion notice period, which ran from October 26, 2020 to November 9, 2020, 52,464 Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC) Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset First Preferred Shares, Series BF (the “Series BF shares”) were tendered for conversion, on a one-for-one basis, into NVCC Non-Cumulative Floating Rate First Preferred Shares, Series BG (the “Series BG shares”). As per the conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated March 9, 2015, since less than 1,000,000 Series BG shares would be outstanding after November 24, 2020, holders of Series BF shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series BG shares.
