New Issue: Barclays sells $2.3 million callable contingent coupon notes on Russell, Euro Stoxx

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 23 – Barclays Bank plc priced $2.3 million of callable contingent coupon notes due Dec. 21, 2018 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes pay a contingent semiannual coupon of 9.5% if each underlying index closes at or above its barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 70% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date.

Barclays is the agent.
