New Issue: Barclays prices $4.13 million callable contingent coupon notes on S&P 500, oil ETF

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., May 26 – Barclays Bank plc priced $4.13 million of callable contingent coupon notes due May 23, 2019 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a semiannual coupon at an annualized rate of 10% if each asset closes at or above its barrier level, 60% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be callable at par on any coupon payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either asset finishes below its barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser performing asset.

Barclays is the agent.
