New Issue: Barclays prices $2 million 10% callable reverse convertibles linked to Procter & Gamble

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 21 - Barclays Bank plc priced $2 million callable reverse convertible notes due July 22, 2009 linked to the common stock of Procter & Gamble Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes pay 5% for an annualized coupon of 10%. Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be automatically called at par if Procter & Gamble shares close at or above the initial share price on April 17, 2009.

If the notes are not called, then the payout at maturity will be par unless Procter & Gamble shares fall by more than 25% during the life of the notes and finish below the initial price, in which case investors will receive a number of Procter & Gamble shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price or, at Barclays' option, par minus the share price decline.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
