New Issue: Barclays prices $935,000 phoenix autocallable notes linked to S&P 500, Russell 2000

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Feb. 26 – Barclays Bank plc priced $935,000 of phoenix autocallable notes due Feb. 27, 2020 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.25% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its 70% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par.

Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

Barclays is the underwriter.
