New Issue: Barclays prices $477,000 dual directional notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 9 – Barclays Bank plc priced $477,000 of 0% dual directional notes due Feb. 5, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return of the lesser-performing index.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is less than its initial level but greater than or equal to its barrier level, 75% of its initial level, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the lesser-performing index’s return.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is less than its barrier level, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index’s final level is below its initial level.

Barclays is the agent.
