New Issue: Barclays prices $1.5 million Super Track notes tied to S&P MidCap 400, Russell 2000

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Oct. 8 - Barclays Bank plc priced $1.5 million of 0% Super Track notes due Oct. 10, 2017 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P MidCap 400 index and the Russell 2000 index.

The basket return is the average of the index returns based solely on the initial and final valuation dates.

The averaged basket return is the sum of the averaged index returns divided by two.

The averaged index return for a basket index is the average of the periodic index returns, with each periodic index return equal to the component return between the initial valuation date and each quarterly observation date.

If the averaged basket return is positive and the basket return is greater than or equal to negative 25%, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.88 times the averaged basket return.

If the averaged basket return is positive and the basket return is less than negative 25%, the payout will be (i) 1.88 times the averaged basket returns, minus (ii) 1.33333% times each 1% decline beyond 25%.

If the averaged basket return is zero or negative but the basket return is greater than or equal to negative 25%, the payout will be par.

If the averaged basket return is zero or negative and the basket return is less than negative 25%, investors will lose 1.33333% for every 1% decline beyond 25%.

Barclays is the agent.
