New Issue: Barclays prices $2.87 million 8.7% callable yield notes linked to Canada, Japan ETFs, Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 31 - Barclays Bank plc priced $2.87 million of 8.7% callable yield notes due Dec. 2, 2015 linked to the lowest return of the Russell 2000 index, the iShares MSCI Canada exchange-traded fund and the iShares MSCI Japan ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

A knock-in event occurs if any underlying component closes below its knock-in barrier value, 65% of its initial value, on any day during the life of the notes.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event occurs and the return of the lowest-performing component is negative, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest-performing component.

The notes are callable at par on July 2, 2014, Oct. 2, 2014, Jan. 2, 2015, April 1, 2015, July 2, 2015 and Oct. 1, 2015.
