New Issue: Barclays prices $1 million 10% reverse convertibles linked to Exxon Mobil

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 15 - Barclays Bank plc priced $1 million of reverse convertible notes due March 17, 2009 linked to the common stock of Exxon Mobil Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The three-month notes will pay 2.5% for an annualized coupon of 10%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless Exxon Mobil stock falls below the protection level - 65% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and the final share price is less than the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of Exxon Mobil shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price or, at Barclay's option, the value of those shares in cash.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
