New Issue: BNP Paribas prices $3.49 million phoenix notes on Russell 2000, S&P 500

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., March 7 - BNP Paribas priced $3.49 million of 0% phoenix notes due Feb. 26, 2018 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a term sheet.

The notes will pay a coupon of 7% if the closing level of each index is at least 65% of its initial index level on any quarterly coupon valuation date. Otherwise no coupon will be paid for that interest period. Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus the conditional coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any early redemption valuation date beginning Feb. 23, 2016.

If the notes are not called, the payout will be par if the worst-performing index finishes at or above the barrier level, 75% of the initial level. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

BNP Paribas Securities is the agent.
