Barclays plans callable contingent payment notes tied to Russell 2000

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 7 - Barclays Bank plc plans to price callable contingent payment notes due March 30, 2023 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a monthly contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 7.5% if the index closes above the 70% coupon barrier level on a monthly valuation date.

The notes are callable at par plus the contingent coupon on any interest payment date beginning April 1, 2015.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index finishes below the 60% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to losses.

Barclays is the agent.

The notes will price on March 25 and settle on March 28.

The Cusip number is 06741TQJ9.
