New Issue: Barclays prices $3 million buffered jump notes linked to ICE swap rates

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 13 – Barclays Bank plc priced $3 million of 0% buffered jump securities due Feb. 28, 2018 linked to the spread between the 10-year U.S. dollar ICE swap rate and the two-year U.S. dollar ICE swap rate, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will be par plus 11.5% if the final spread is greater than or equal to the threshold spread (i.e., the swap rate spread has widened or has not narrowed enough to put it below the threshold spread).

The threshold spread is 0.255%, which is 30% of the initial spread. The calculation agent has selected 0.85% as the initial spread, which is not the swap rate spread on the pricing date.

If the final spread is less than the threshold spread, investors will lose 2% for every 1% by which the final spread is less than the threshold spread, subject to the minimum payment of 40% of par.

Barclays is the agent. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a dealer.
