Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 20 – Barclays Bank plc priced $4.31 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 21, 2017 linked to the American Depositary Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If Alibaba ADSs close at or above the downside threshold level, 75% of the initial ADS price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 9.4%.
The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Alibaba ADSs close at or above the initial ADS price on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date.
If the final ADS price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final ADS price is less than the initial ADS price.
Barclays is the agent. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a dealer.
