On April 4, 2007, Royal Bank of Canada issued AU$1,000,000,000 Floating Rate Deposit Notes due April 2010 and AU$250,000,000 6.50 per cent deposit notes due April pursuant to its Euro Programme for the issuance of notes. The notes were offered and sold in the Australian domestic market and included customary terms and conditions governed by Australian law.

The notes were offered by an underwriting syndicate led by Royal Bank of Canada, Sydney and including Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, National Australia Bank Limited, St. George Bank Limited and Westpac Banking Corporation.
