By Jennifer Chiou

New York, July 26 - BNP Paribas priced $5.579 million of 19% down-and-in reverse convertible notes due Jan. 25, 2007 linked to Peabody Energy Corp. stock, according to a BNP offering circular.

The payout at maturity will be par in cash unless Peabody Energy stock falls below the knock-in level of $33.525, 75% of its initial price, during the life of the notes.

If the knock-in level is hit, the payout at maturity is par in cash if the stock closes above its initial price on the valuation date of Jan. 22, 2007. Otherwise, the payout is a number of Peabody Energy shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price.
