New Issue: Barclays prices $525,000 of phoenix autocallable notes linked to ETFs

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 12 – Barclays Bank plc priced $525,000 of phoenix autocallable notes due Oct. 15, 2018 linked to the least-performing of the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund 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 contingent monthly coupon at an annualized rate of 9.75% if each fund closes at or above the barrier level – 60% of the initial price – on the first observation date for the month.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each fund closes at or above the initial price on Oct. 10, 2017, Jan. 10, 2018, April 10, 2018 or July 10, 2018.

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.
