New Issue: Barclays prices $12.31 million phoenix autocallables on three funds

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, May 4 – Barclays Bank plc priced $12.31 million of phoenix autocallable notes due May 2, 2019 linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at a rate of 10% per year if each fund closes at or above its barrier level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus the contingent coupon if each fund closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

If each fund finishes at or above its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing fund.

Barclays is the agent.
