New Issue: Barclays upsizes 15% reverse convertibles linked to JPMorgan to $10 million

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 23 - Barclays Bank plc priced an additional $5 million of reverse convertible notes due Sept. 30, 2009 linked to the common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The additional notes bring the issue size to $10 million. Barclays priced the initial $5 million of notes on March 26.

The six-month notes will pay 7.5% for an annualized coupon of 15%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless JPMorgan stock declines by more than 50% during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of JPMorgan shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at Barclays' option, par minus the share price decline.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
