New Issue: Barclays prices $5.91 million callable contingent coupon notes tied to Valero Energy

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 16 – Barclays Bank plc priced $5.91 million of callable contingent coupon notes due April 20, 2017 linked to Valero Energy Corp. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 12% if Valero Energy shares close above the 70% barrier level on the valuation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par plus the contingent coupon on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless Valero Energy shares finish below the 70% barrier level, in which case investors will receive a number of Valero Energy shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price or, at the issuer’s option, the cash value of those shares.

Barclays is the agent.
