New Issue: Barclays prices $2 million phoenix autocallables linked to Russell 2000

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 30 – Barclays Bank plc priced $2 million of phoenix autocallable notes due Dec. 31, 2020 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Every six months, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 6.25% per year if the index closes at or above its barrier level, 85% of its initial level, on the observation date for that semiannual period. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that period.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above its initial level on any semiannual observation date other than the final one.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any, unless the index finishes below its barrier level of 85%, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index finishes below its initial level.

Barclays is the agent.
