By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 29 - Barclays Bank plc priced $430,000 of callable contingent payment notes due Aug. 31, 2023 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.1% if the index closes above the coupon barrier level, 75% of the initial level, on a quarterly valuation date.

The notes are callable on any interest payment date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index finishes below the 55% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to losses.

Barclays is the agent.
