New Issue: Barclays prices $2.6 million notes linked to S&P 500 Dynamic Veqtor

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 10 - Barclays Bank plc priced $2.6 million of 0% notes due April 10, 2017 linked to the S&P 500 Dynamic Veqtor Total Return index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will equal the closing indicative value on the final valuation date, April 5, 2017.

The closing indicative value was $1,000 on the pricing date. On each subsequent day, it equals the closing indicative value on the preceding day multiplied by the daily index factor - the closing index level on that day divided by the closing level on the preceding day - and minus the investor fee.

The investor fee was zero on the pricing date. On subsequent days, it equals 1.25% times the closing indicative note value on the preceding day times the daily index factor on that day divided by 365.

The notes are putable subject to a minimum of 25 notes. Investors will receive the closing indicative value on the applicable valuation date.

The index seeks to provide investors with broad equity market exposure with an implied volatility hedge by dynamically allocating its notional investments among three components: equity, volatility and cash. The equity component is represented by the S&P 500 Total Return index, and the volatility component is represented by the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Total Return index.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
