New Issue: Barclays prices $4 million notes tied to basket of commodity indexes

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Jan. 30 - Barclays Bank plc priced $4 million of notes due Jan. 29, 2016 linked to a basket of 10 commodity indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights of the S&P GSCI Sugar Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Cocoa Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Corn Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Cotton Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Coffee Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Gold Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Natural Gas Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Aluminum Index Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Nickel Index Excess Return and the S&P GSCI Zinc Index Excess Return.

The notes pay a coupon each year equal to 0.5% plus the greater of (a) the average of the indexes' performances on the applicable coupon observation date and (b) zero. The coupon observation dates fall annually in January.

If an index's return is greater than or equal to zero, its performance will be 9.25%. Otherwise, the index's performance will be the greater of its return and negative 20%.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon payment.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
