New Issue: Barclays prices $1.12 million two-year barrier notes with 40% cap linked to S&P 500

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 2 - Barclays Bank plc priced $1.12 million of 0% barrier notes due Feb. 3, 2014 linked to S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A barrier event will occur if the index ever closes below the barrier - 61% of the initial price - during the life of the notes.

If the index finishes above the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus any gain, up to a maximum return of 40%, regardless of whether a barrier event has occurred.

If the index falls and a barrier event never occurs, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the index return, with any gains capped at 40%.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
