By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 1 - Barclays Bank plc plans to price 8% STEP Income Securities due May 2014 linked to Ford Motor Co. shares, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest will be payable quarterly.

If the price of Ford shares finishes at or above the step level - 108% of the initial price - the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus a step payment of 1% to 5% that will be set at pricing.

If the stock return is zero or positive but the share price finishes below the step level, the payout will be par.

Investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

The notes are expected to price and settle in April.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
