By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 20 - Barclays Bank plc sold another $10 million of 9% reverse convertible notes due March 30, 2011 based on the performance of Baker Hughes Inc. shares, according to a 424B3 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total deal size to $14 million, up from $4 million.

The payout at maturity will be par in cash unless the stock falls below the protection price - 80% of the initial price - during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of Baker Hughes shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price.
