By Jennifer Chiou

New York, July 29 – Barclays Bank plc priced $1,198,000 of 0% notes due Aug. 12, 2015 linked to a basket of 16 stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying companies are Pfizer Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., Sanofi, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Walgreen Co., Eli Lilly & Co., Mylan Inc., Perrigo Co. and Zoetis Inc., each with a 6 2/3% weight, and Biogen Idec Inc., Celgene Corp., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., Illumina, Inc., Endo Health Solutions Inc., Impax Laboratories, Inc. and Gilead Sciences, Inc., each with a 5 5/7% weight.

For each $1,000 principal amount of notes, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return multiplied by an adjustment factor of 99.95%. Because of the adjustment factor, investors will be exposed to losses if the basket return is less than about 0.05%.
