New Issue: Barclays prices $2 million 13.25% callable reverse convertibles linked to Foster Wheeler

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 9 - Barclays Bank plc priced $2 million of 13.25% annualized callable reverse convertible notes due Sept. 10, 2010 linked to the common stock of Foster Wheeler AG, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be called at par if Foster Wheeler stock closes at or above the initial share price on June 7, 2010.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par in cash unless Foster Wheeler shares fall below the protection price - 75% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and finish below the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of Foster Wheeler shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price.
