By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 16 – Barclays Bank plc plans to price phoenix autocallable notes due Aug. 28, 2020 linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 5% to 6% if each index closes at or above its 75% coupon barrier on a related observation date.

After six months, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any observation date other than the final date.

If the final value of the least performing asset is greater than or equal to its initial value, or less than its initial value but it has never closed below 75% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes, the payout at maturity will be par.

If the final value of the least performing asset is less than its initial value and it has ever closed below 75% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes, the payout will be par plus the return of the least performing asset with full exposure to the loss.

Barclays is the agent.

The notes will price on Aug. 27.

The Cusip number is 06747NAR5.
