By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Feb. 27 – Barclays Bank plc priced $480,000 of 9% annualized reverse convertible notes due May 27, 2015 linked to the common stock of National Oilwell Varco, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the final share price is less than the knock-in price - 75% of the initial price - in which case the payout will be a number of National Oilwell shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at Barclays' option, a cash amount equal to the value of those shares.
