Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 12 – Barclays Bank plc priced $1 million of phoenix autocallable notes due Aug. 13, 2021 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9.75% per year if the index closes at or above the coupon barrier level, 80% of the initial index level, on the observation date for that quarter. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that quarter.
Beginning in February 2017, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above the initial index level on any observation date other than the final one.
If the notes are not called and the index finishes at or above the barrier level, 65% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index level is less than the initial index level.
