By Marisa Wong

Milwaukee, Feb. 5 - Barclays Bank plc priced $5.935 million of 0% buffered return enhanced notes due Feb. 8, 2012 linked to the bearish performance of the Japanese yen, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final yen/dollar exchange rate is greater than the initial rate, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.45 times the gain, subject to a maximum return of 21.75%.

Investors will receive par if the exchange rate declines by 5% or less and will lose 1.0526% for every 1% that the rate declines beyond 5%.

The notes are expected to settle Feb. 8.

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