By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 7 - Barclays Bank plc priced another $5 million of 12.5% reverse convertible notes due Aug. 26, 2011 linked to Las Vegas Sands Corp. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total deal size to $6.5 million, up from $1.5 million.
