New Issue: BNP Paribas prices $1.95 million dual directional notes linked to iShares MSCI EM

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Nov. 6 - BNP Paribas priced $1.95 million of 0% dual directional notes due Oct. 30, 2015 linked to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund, according to a term sheet.

A knock-out event occurs if the fund closes below the knock-out price, 72% of the initial price, on any day during the life of the notes.

If the fund finishes at or above the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the fund return, subject to a maximum return of 25%.

If the fund return is negative and a knock-out event has not occurred, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the return, up to a maximum return of 28%.

If the fund return is negative and a knock-out event has occurred, investors will share fully in losses from the initial price.
