Royal Bank of Canada

Royal Bank of Canada is offering the Buffered Booster Absolute Return Notes (the "Notes") linked to the performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the
"Reference Asset").
The CUSIP number for the Notes is 78012KV79. If the Final Level is greater than the Initial Level but the Percentage Change does not exceed the Booster
Percentage of 41.50%, the Notes provide a fixed return equal to the Principal Amount plus the Booster Coupon. If the Final Level is greater than the Initial
Level and the Percentage Change exceeds the Booster Percentage, the Notes provide a one-for-one positive return based upon the increase in the level of
the Reference Asset. If the Final Level is less than the Initial Level but greater than or equal to the Buffer Level (80.00% of the Initial Level), you will receive
a positive return equal to the percentage by which the level of the Index has decreased as of the Valuation Date. If the Final Level is less than the Buffer
Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of the Notes for each 1% decrease from the Initial Level to the Final Level of more than 20.00%. You may
lose up to 80% of your initial investment. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
Booster Coupon: 41.50%
Issue Date: June 30, 2017
Maturity Date: June 30, 2023
The Notes do not pay interest. The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-1 of the prospectus supplement dated January 8, 2016,
"Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" beginning on page PS-4 of the product prospectus supplement dated January 12, 2016, and "Selected Risk
Considerations" beginning on page P-6 of this pricing supplement.
The Notes will not constitute deposits insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
Canadian or U.S. government agency or instrumentality.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined that
this pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(1) Certain dealers who purchase the Notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forego some or all of their underwriting discount or selling concessions.
The public offering price for investors purchasing the Notes in these accounts may be between $967.50 and $1,000 per $1,000 in principal amount.
The initial estimated value of the Notes as of the date of this pricing supplement is $919.80 per $1,000 in principal amount, which is less than the price to
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 in more detail below.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC, which we refer to as RBCCM, acting as agent for Royal Bank of Canada, received a commission of $32.50 per $1,000 in
principal amount of the Notes and used a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers of up to $32.50 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)" on page P-12 below.
We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, RBCCM or another of our affiliates may use this pricing supplement in a
market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless we or our agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this
pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction.

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 Note as a pre-paid cash-settled derivative
contract 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 discussion (including the opinion of our counsel Morrison & Foerster LLP) in the
product prospectus supplement dated January 12, 2016 under "Supplemental Discussion of U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences," and the discussion below under "Supplemental Discussion of

The examples set out below are included for illustration purposes only. The hypot he t ic a l Percentage Changes of the Reference
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1000275/000114036117026388/form424b2.htm[6/28/2017 1:47:00 PM]

Asset used to illustrate the calculation of the Payment at Maturity (rounded to two decimal places) are not estimates or forecasts of
the Final Level or the level of the Reference Asset on any trading day prior to the Maturity Date. All examples assume that a
holder purchased Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,000, and are based on the Buffer Percentage of 20.00% (the
Buffer Level is 80.00% of the Initial Level), the Booster Percentage of 41.50%, the Booster Coupon of 41.50% of the principal
amount, and that no market disruption event occurs on the Valuation Date.

Example 1--
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is positive, but less than the Booster
Percentage.

Percentage Change:
5%

Payment at Maturity:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x 41.50%) = $1,000 + $415 = $1,415

On a $1,000 investment, a 5% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,415, a 41.50% return
on the Notes.

Example 2--
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is positive and exceeds the Booster
Percentage.

Percentage Change:
65%

Payment at Maturity:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x 65%) = $1,000 + $650 = $1,650

On a $1,000 investment, a 65% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,650, a 65% return on
the Notes.

Example 3--
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is negative (but not by more than the Buffer
Percentage).

Percentage Change:
-10%

Payment at Maturity:
$1,000 + [-1 x ($1,000 x -10%)] = $1,000 + $100 = $1,100

On a $1,000 investment, a -10.00% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,100, a 10% return
on the Notes.

In this case, even though the Percentage Change is negative, you will receive a positive return equal to the
absolute value of the Percentage Change.
Example 4--
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is negative (by more than the Buffer
Percentage).

Percentage Change:
-35%

Payment at Maturity:
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-35% + 20.00%)] = $1,000 - $150 = $850

On a $1,000 investment, a -35% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $850, a -15% return on
the Notes.

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference
Asset. These risks are explained in more detail in the section "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes," beginning on page
PS-4 of the product prospectus supplement. In addition to the risks described in the prospectus supplement and the product
prospectus supplement, you should consider the following:
·
Princ ipa l a t Risk Investors in the Notes could lose up to 80% of their principal amount if the level of the Reference
Asset declines by more the Buffer Percentage. You will lose one percent of the principal amount of your Notes for each 1%
that the Final Level is less than the Initial Level by more than 20%.

De bt Se c urit y of Com pa ra ble M a t urit y There will be no periodic interest payments on the Notes as there would
be on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security having the same 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.
·
Pa ym e nt s on t he N ot e s Are Subje c t t o Our Cre dit Risk , a nd Cha nge s in Our Cre dit Ra t ings Are
Ex pe c t e d t o Affe c t t he M a rk e t V a lue of t he N ot e s The Notes are Royal Bank's senior unsecured debt
securities. As a result, your receipt of the amount due on the maturity date is dependent upon Royal Bank's ability to repay
its obligations at that time. This will be the case even if the level of the Reference Asset increases after the Pricing Date.
No assurance can be given as to what our financial condition will be at the maturity of the Notes.
·
T he re M a y N ot Be a n Ac t ive T ra ding M a rk e t for t he N ot e s--Sa le s in t he Se c onda ry M a rk e t M a y Re sult
in Signific a nt Losse s There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes will not be listed on any
securities exchange. RBCCM and other affiliates of Royal Bank may make a market for the Notes; however, they are not
required to do so. RBCCM or any other affiliate of Royal Bank 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.
·
Y ou Will N ot H a ve Any Right s t o t he Se c urit ie s I nc lude d in t he Re fe re nc e Asse t As a holder of the
Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of
securities included in the Reference Asset would have. The Final Level will not reflect any dividends paid on the securities
included in the Reference Asset, and accordingly, any positive return on the Notes may be less than the potential positive
return on those securities.
·
T he I nit ia l Est im a t e d V a lue of t he N ot e s I s Le ss t ha n t he Pric e t o t he Public The initial estimated value
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 level of the Reference Asset, 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 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

t he N ot e s We re Se t 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 Pricing 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.
·
An I nve st m e nt in t he N ot e s I s Subje c t t o Risk s Re la t ing t o N on -U .S. Se c urit ie s M a rk e t s - Because
foreign companies or foreign equity securities included in the Reference Asset are publicly traded in the applicable foreign
countries and are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, an investment in the securities involves particular
risks. For example, the non-U.S. securities markets may be more volatile than the U.S. securities markets, and market
developments may affect these markets differently from the U.S. or other securities markets. Direct or indirect government
intervention to stabilize the securities markets outside the U.S., as well as cross-shareholdings in certain companies, may
affect trading prices and trading volumes in those markets. Also, the public availability of information concerning the foreign
issuers may vary depending on their home jurisdiction and the reporting requirements imposed by their respective
regulators. In addition, the foreign issuers may be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and
requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
The securities included in the Reference Asset are issued by companies located within the Eurozone, which is and has
been undergoing severe financial stress, and the political, legal and regulatory ramifications are impossible to predict.
Changes within the Eurozone could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Reference Asset and,
consequently, on the value of the Notes.

M a rk e t Disrupt ion Eve nt s a nd Adjust m e nt s The payment at maturity 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

the policies of, and is subject to change by, STOXX Limited, as the sponsor of the Reference Asset ("STOXX"). STOXX, which

publication of the Reference Asset or any successor index.
The Reference Asset was created by STOXX, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG. Publication of the Reference Asset began in
February 1998, based on an initial index level of 1,000 at December 31, 1991.
Com posit ion a nd M a int e na nc e
The Reference Asset is composed of 50 component stocks of market sector leaders from within the 19 EURO STOXX®
Supersector indices, which represent the Eurozone portion of the STOXX Europe 600® Supersector indices.
The composition of the Reference Asset is reviewed annually, based on the closing stock data on the last trading day in August.
The component stocks are announced on the first trading day in September. Changes to the component stocks are implemented
on the third Friday in September and are effective the following trading day. Changes in the composition of the Reference Asset
are made to ensure that the Reference Asset includes the 50 market sector leaders from within the Reference Asset.
The free float factors for each component stock used to calculate the Reference Asset, as described below, are reviewed,
calculated, and implemented on a quarterly basis and are fixed until the next quarterly review.
The Reference Asset is also reviewed on an ongoing basis. Corporate actions (including initial public offerings, mergers and
takeovers, spin-offs, delistings, and bankruptcy) that affect the Reference Asset composition are immediately reviewed. Any
changes are announced, implemented, and effective in line with the type of corporate action and the magnitude of the effect.
Ca lc ula t ion of t he Re fe re nc e Asse t
The Reference Asset is calculated with the "Laspeyres formula," which measures the aggregate price changes in the component
stocks against a fixed base quantity weight. The formula for calculating the Reference Asset value can be expressed as follows:
Free float market capitalization of the Reference Asset
Reference Asset =
x 1,000
Adjusted base date market capitalization of the Reference Asset
The "free float market capitalization of the Reference Asset" is equal to the sum of the products of the closing price, market
capitalization, and free float factor for each component stock as of the time the Reference Asset is being calculated.
The Reference Asset is also subject to a divisor, which is adjusted to maintain the continuity of the Reference Asset values across
changes due to corporate actions, such as the deletion and addition of stocks, the substitution of stocks, stock dividends, and stock
splits.
