San Luis Obispo, Calif., Feb. 4 – Barclays Bank plc priced $2 million of 0% autocallable trigger Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due Feb. 2, 2018 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index closes at or above the call threshold level, 115% of the initial level, on the Feb. 5, 2016 call observation date, the securities will be automatically redeemed at the early redemption payment of $11.50 per $10.00 principal amount.
