Barclays to price contingent income autocallables linked to Facebook

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 16 – Barclays Bank plc plans to price contingent income autocallable securities with step-up redemption threshold level feature due Feb. 27, 2020 linked to the class A common stock of Facebook, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Facebook shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 9.3%.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Facebook shares close at or above the applicable redemption threshold level on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date. The redemption threshold level is 105% of the initial share price on the first through fourth determination dates, 110% of the initial share price on the fifth through eighth determination dates and 115% of the initial share price on the remaining determination dates.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final share price is less than the initial share price.

Barclays is the agent. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a dealer.

The notes will price Feb. 24.

The Cusip number is 06745T822.
