By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 6 – Barclays Bank plc priced $5 million of callable contingent coupon notes due Aug. 8, 2016 linked to the Nikkei Stock Average index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a coupon at an annualized rate of 7.15% if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning in February 2016, the notes will be callable at par on any quarterly observation date.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.
