Columbus, Ohio, April 6 – Barclays Bank plc priced $1.8 million of phoenix autocallable notes due June 29, 2018 linked to the SPDR® S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Every quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7.25% per year if the fund closes at or above its barrier level, 65% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarterly period. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the fund closes at or above its initial level on the second, third or fourth observation dates.
If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon unless the fund finishes below its initial level and closes below the barrier level of 65% of the initial level, during the life of the notes, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the fund finishes below its initial level.
