New Issue: Barclays sells $360,000 of 9.5% autocallable yield notes on two funds

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., May 22 - Barclays Bank plc priced $360,000 of 9.5% autocallable yield notes due May 23, 2013 linked to the United States Oil Fund, LP and the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be called at par plus accrued interest if each underlying component closes at or above its initial level on any of three call valuation dates, which are Aug. 17, Nov. 16 and Feb. 19, 2013.

A knock-in event will occur if either underlying component falls below the barrier level, 75% of the initial level, on any trading day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur, investors will receive par at maturity. If a knock-in event occurs and the return of the worse-performing component is at least zero, investors will receive par.

If a knock-in event occurs and the return of the worse-performing component is negative, investors will share in those losses.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
