Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of City National will receive $47.25 in cash and 0.7489 of an RBC common share for each share of City National common stock. Based on RBC’s closing stock price on January 21, 2015, City National shareholders would have received consideration valued at approximately $93.80 per share.
