New Issue: Barclays prices $5 million add-on to 11% reverse convertibles linked to Exxon Mobil

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 28 - Barclays Bank plc priced an additional $5 million of reverse convertible notes due July 30, 2009 linked to the common stock of Exxon Mobil Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company priced $3 million of the notes on Jan. 27. The total amount of notes issued is now $8 million.

The notes carry an annualized coupon of 11%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless Exxon Mobil shares fall below the protection price - 70% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and finish below the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of Exxon Mobil shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
