New Issue: Barclays prices $12.23 million buffered return enhanced notes linked to indexes via JPMorgan

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, June 9 - Barclays Bank plc priced $12.23 million 0% buffered return enhanced notes due June 24, 2009 linked to a weighted basket of three buffered return enhanced components, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are the agents.

The basket consists of the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 55% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 25% weight and the Topix index with a 20% weight.

The payout at maturity will be the sum of the return of each basket component multiplied by its weighting.

The payout at maturity for each component will be its share of par plus any gain, capped at a maximum return. If the component falls by up to 10%, the payout will be its share of par. If the component falls by more than 10%, investors will lose 1.1111% for each 1% decline beyond 10%.

The maximum return will be 14.8% for the Euro Stoxx 50, 13.6% for the FTSE 100 and 15.52% for the Topix.

The final level will be the arithmetic average of the basket's closing levels on the five consecutive trading days ending June 19, 2009.
