New Issue: Barclays prices $4.01 million callable contingent coupon notes on UPS

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 28 - Barclays Bank plc priced $4.01 million of callable contingent coupon notes due Feb. 29, 2016 linked to United Parcel Service, Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a coupon at an annualized rate of 5.5% each quarter if UPS shares close at or above 80% the barrier level.

The notes are callable at par plus the contingent coupon on any of the quarterly contingent coupon payment dates.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless the stock finishes below the knock-in barrier level, in which case investors will receive a number of shares equal to par divided by the initial share price or the cash value of those shares.

Barclays is the agent.
