\* All payments are subject to our credit risk

The initial estimated value of the securities determined by us as of the pricing date, which we refer to as the initial estimated value, is expected to be between $924.70 and $974.70 per security and will be less than the public offering price of the securities. We describe the determination of the initial estimated value in more detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

Underlier

For more information about the underlier, including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read also the "Risk Factors" sections of the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement, product supplement and preliminary pricing supplement. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.

**Risks Relating to the Terms and Structure of the Securities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ You will not receive any contingent quarterly coupon for
any quarterly period where the closing value of the underlier is less than the downside threshold value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ You will not participate in any appreciation in the value
of the underlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The potential contingent repayment of principal represented
by the downside threshold value applies only at maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The automatic early redemption feature may limit the term
of your investment to approximately three months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk,
and market perceptions about our creditworthiness may adversely affect the market value of the securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Your return on the securities may be lower than the return
on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Any payment on the securities will be determined based on
the closing values of the underlier on the dates specified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the securities are uncertain.

**Risks Relating to the Initial Estimated Value of the Securities and the Secondary Market for the Securities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ There may not be an active trading market for the securities;
sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The initial estimated value of the securities will be less
than the public offering price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The initial estimated value of the securities is only an
estimate, calculated as of the pricing date.

**Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest and Our Trading Activities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Hedging and trading activity by us and our affiliates could
potentially adversely affect the value of the securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Our and our affiliates' business and trading activities
may create conflicts of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ RBCCM's role as calculation agent may create conflicts
of interest.

**Risks Relating to the Underlier**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ You will not have any rights to the underlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Any payment on the securities may be postponed and adversely
affected by the occurrence of a market disruption event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Anti-dilution protection is limited, and the calculation
agent has discretion to make anti-dilution adjustments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Reorganization or other events could adversely affect the
value of the securities or result in the securities being accelerated.

<br> Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement under the caption "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, and you should consult your tax adviser.
