By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., June 11 – Barclays Bank plc plans to price 0% market-linked step-up notes due June 2021 linked to the JPX-Nikkei index 400, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index finishes above the step-up level – 119% to 125% of the initial level – the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the index gain.

If the index gains by up to the step-up level, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 19% to 25%.

Investors will be exposed to any decline in the index.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.

The notes will price in June.
