New Issue: BNP Paribas prices $575,000 phoenix worst-of notes linked to Freeport, HP

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 1 - BNP Paribas priced $575,000 of 0% phoenix worst-of notes due March 27, 2014 linked to the common stocks of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., according to a term sheet.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a coupon at an annualized rate of 11.2% if the closing share price of each stock is greater than or equal to its barrier price - 64% of its initial share price - on the coupon valuation date for that quarter.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus the conditional coupon if both stocks close at or above their initial share prices on June 24, 2013, Sept. 24, 2013 or Dec. 23, 2013.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless the worst-performing stock finishes below its barrier price, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing stock.

BNP Paribas Securities is the agent.
