Royal Bank of Canada has announced:

As per the conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated January 27, 2015, since less than 1,000,000 Series BE shares would be outstanding after May 24, 2020, holders of Series BD shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series BE shares. As a result, Series BE shares will not be issued at this time and holders of Series BD shares will retain their shares.

On May 24, 2020, Royal Bank of Canada will have 24,000,000 Series BD shares issued and outstanding. The Series BD shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol RY.PR.J.
