New Issue: Barclays prices $20 million 1.9% Yeelds linked to Hewlett-Packard

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, March 15 - Barclays Bank plc priced $20,000,013 of 1.9% annualized Yield Enhanced Equity Linked Debt Securities due Sept. 20, 2012 linked to the common stock of Hewlett-Packard Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each note has a face value of $24.48, which is the average execution price per share for the common stock that an affiliate of Barclays paid to hedge the issuer's obligations under the notes.

Interest is payable monthly.

A trigger event will occur if the intraday lowest price of the stock is less than 80% of the initial level.

The payout at maturity will be an amount equal to the volume-weighted average price of Hewlett-Packard stock on Sept. 13, 2012. The payout will be capped at 120% of par and is payable in cash or Hewlett-Packard stock at the issuer's option.

If a trigger event has not occurred and the conversion value is less than the principal amount per note, investors will receive par.

The volume-weighted average price of Hewlett-Packard stock will be adjusted if the actual aggregate dividend and the expected aggregate dividend differ. The expected dividend schedule is $0.12 on June 11 and $0.12 on Sept. 10.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
