By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 28 - Barclays Bank plc priced $20.33 million of 0% buffered SuperTrack notes due March 1, 2018 linked to a basket of indexes and exchange-traded funds, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index with a 70% weight, the iShares MSCI EAFE index fund with a 15% weight, the S&P MidCap 400 index with an 8% weight, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF with a 4% weight and the Russell 2000 index with a 3% weight.

If the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return.

If the final basket level is less than or equal to the initial basket level but greater than or equal to the threshold level, 80% of the initial level, the payout will be par.

If the final basket level is less than the threshold level, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the basket declines beyond 20%.
