Columbus, Ohio, March 21 – Barclays Bank plc priced $640,000 of phoenix autocallable notes due March 20, 2019 linked to the least-performing of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund and the SPDR S&P Regional Banking exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 9.5% if each fund closes at or above the barrier level – 60% of the initial price – on the observation date for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each fund closes at or above the initial price on any quarterly observation date beginning in September.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless the least-performing fund finishes below the 60% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing fund.
Barclays is the agent.
