Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 3 - Barclays Bank plc registered to issue an additional $250 million of 0% ETN+ S&P Veqtor exchange-traded notes due Sept. 8, 2020 linked to the S&P 500 Dynamic Veqtor Total Return index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On Aug. 31, 2010, the company priced $10 million of the notes and said it planned to issue up to $250 million of the notes in total. The total maximum issue size is now $500 million.
On Sept. 28, the company sold $871,100 principal amount of the notes to UBS Financial Services Inc. for resale to the public at a price equal to 100.65% of the closing indicative value of the ETNs on the date of sale. Prior to that sale, the company had sold $72,578,400 principal amount of notes, including the original $10 million, through Barclays Capital Inc. as agent at varying prices. Combined with the notes sold to UBS, the total issue size at the time was $73.45 million.
The notes are putable at any time, subject to a minimum of 25,000 notes.
The payout upon redemption or at maturity will be the closing indicative value of the notes.
The closing indicative value was $100 on the inception date. On each subsequent day, it equals the closing indicative value on the preceding day multiplied by the daily index factor - the closing index level on that day divided by the closing level on the preceding day - and minus the investor fee.
The investor fee was zero on the inception date. On each subsequent day, it is 0.95% multiplied by the closing indicative value on the preceding day multiplied by the daily index factor divided by 365.
The notes are listed on the NYSE Arca under the symbol "VQT." They closed at $130.83 on Thursday.
Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
