By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Sept. 18 – Barclays Bank plc plans to price 14- to 17-month 0% capped leveraged buffered notes linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 37% initial weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 23% initial weight, the Topix index with a 23% initial weight, the Swiss Market index with a 9% initial weight and the S&P/ASX 200 index with a 8% initial weight.

The payout at maturity will be par plus 1.4 times any basket gain, subject to a maximum settlement amount that is expected to be $1,156.80 to $1,182 per $1,000 principal amount. Investors will receive par if the basket declines by 10% or less and will lose 1.1111% for every 1% that it declines beyond 10%.

The exact maturity date and maximum settlement amount will be set at pricing.

Barclays is the agent.

The Cusip number is 06741UK86.
