Barclays (DJP) issues Rivian‑linked note: 53.15% digital return, barrier $8.92
Barclays Bank PLC is offering a new digitally structured principal-at-risk note linked to Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN) Class A common stock. This note offers a potential "Digital Return" of at least 53.15% if the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to a Barrier Value of $8.92 (65.00% of the Initial Underlier Value of $13.73). However, if the Final Underlier Value falls below the barrier, investors are fully exposed to the Underlier's decline, potentially leading to substantial losses.
