New Issue: Barclays prices $3.31 million phoenix autocallables on ETF, two indexes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., May 29 – Barclays Bank plc priced $3.31 million phoenix autocallable notes due May 29, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the iShares MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9.5% per year if each component closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each component closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date other than the final date.

If the notes are not called and the final level of the lesser-performing component is greater than or equal to its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing component finishes below its initial level.

Barclays is the agent.
