What is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Index?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the Notes.  The “total return” as used in this preliminary pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount Note to $1,000.  The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the Notes.  The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.  Note that the hypothetical total returns set forth below are based on the Initial Level of 1,660.06, the Barrier Level of 1,328.05 (80.00% of the Initial Level, rounded to two decimal places) and the Maximum Return of 27.70%.  The hypothetical examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from an Initial Level of 1,660.06 to a Final Level of 1,826.07.

Because the Final Level is greater than the Initial Level and the Index Return of 10.00% is less than the Maximum Return, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x Index Return]

$1,000 + [$1,000 x 10.00%] = $1,100.00

The total return on investment of the Notes is 10.00%.

Example 2: The level of the Index increases from an Initial Level of 1,660.06 to a Final Level of 2,158.08.

Because the Index Return is of 30.00% is greater than the Maximum Return of 27.70%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,277.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount Note, the maximum possible payment on the Notes.

The total return on investment of the Notes is 27.70%

PS-1

Example 3: The level of the Index decreases from an Initial Level of 1,660.06 to a Final Level of 1,494.05.

Because the Final Level is less than Initial Level but is not less than the Barrier Level, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

The total return on investment of the Notes is 0.00%.

Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from an Initial Level of 1,660.06 to a Final Level of 996.04.

Because Final Level is less than the Barrier Level, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $ 600.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x Index Return]

$1,000 + [$1,000 x -40.00%] = $600.00

The total return on investment of the Notes is -40 .00%.

Selected Purchase Considerations

·                   Market Disruption Events and Adjustments —The Final Valuation Date, the Maturity Date and the payment at maturity are subject to adjustment as described in the following sections of the prospectus supplement:

o                  For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event with respect to the Index as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “Reference Assets—Indices—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index or Indices of Equity Securities”; and

o                  For a description of further adjustments that may affect the Index, see “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index”.

·                   Exposure to the U.S. Equities of the Index —The return on the Notes is linked to the performance of the Index from the Initial Level to the Final Level, as described in this preliminary pricing supplement.  The Index consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets.  For additional information about the Index, see “Description of the Index” below.

·                   Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations— The material tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are summarized below.  The discussion below supplements the discussion under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.  Except as noted under “Non-U.S. Holders” below, this section applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) and you hold your Notes as capital assets for tax purposes and does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules or are otherwise excluded from the discussion in the prospectus supplement (for example, if you did not purchase your Notes in the initial issuance of the Notes).

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different than described below.  Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC and you agree, in the absence of a change in law or an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your Notes as a pre-paid cash-settled executory contract with respect to the Index.  If your Notes are so treated, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Notes.  Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your Notes for more than one year.

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Notes in the manner described above.  This opinion assumes that the description of the terms of the Notes in this preliminary pricing supplement is materially correct.

As discussed further in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are actively considering various alternative treatments that may apply to instruments such as the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Notes as well as possible alternative characterizations, please see the discussion under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Executory Contracts” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.  You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Notes.  For additional, important considerations related to tax risks associated with investing in the Notes, you should also examine the discussion in “Selected Risk Considerations—Taxes”, in this preliminary pricing supplement.

“Specified Foreign Financial Asset” Reporting.   Under legislation enacted in 2010, owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns.  “Specified foreign financial assets” generally include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following (which may include your

PS-2

Notes), but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions:  (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities.  Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Notes.

Non-U.S. Holders.   The Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations under Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code which could ultimately require us to treat all or a portion of any payment in respect of your Notes as a “dividend equivalent” payment that is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty).  You could also be required to make certain certifications in order to avoid or minimize such withholding obligations, and you could be subject to withholding (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory.  You should consult your tax advisor concerning the potential application of these regulations to payments you receive with respect to the Notes when these regulations are finalized.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks.  Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index.  These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement, including the risk factors discussed under the following headings:

·                   “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to All Securities”;

·                   “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Notes Which Are Not Characterized as Being Fully Principal Protected or Are Characterized as Being Partially Protected or Contingently Protected”;

·                   “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities with a Maximum Return, Maximum Rate, Ceiling or Cap”; and

·                   “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities with Reference Assets That Are Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds, That Contain Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds or That Are Based in Part on Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds.”

In addition to the risks described above, you should consider the following:

·                   Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Significant Loss —The Notes do not guarantee any return of principal.  The return on the Notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Return is positive or negative.  If the Final Level of the Index is less than the Barrier Level, your Notes will be fully exposed to the decline in the Index from the Initial Level to the Final Level and you will lose some or all of your investment in the Notes.  You may lose up to 100% of your investment in the Notes.

·                   Any Positive Return on the Notes Will Not Exceed the Maximum Return —If the Index Return is greater than 0%, for each $1,000 principal amount Note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed the Maximum Return multiplied by $1,000.  Accordingly, the maximum possible payment that you may receive at maturity will be $1,277.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold

·                   Credit of Issuer —The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party.  Any payment to be made on the Notes depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party.  In the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

·                   No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights —As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Index would have.

·                   The Payment at Maturity of Your Notes is Not Based on the Level of the Index at Any Time Other than the Final Level on the Final Valuation Date —The Final Level of the Index and the Index Return will be based solely on the Index Closing Level on the Final Valuation Date. Therefore, if the level of the Index dropped precipitously on the Final Valuation Date, the payment at maturity, if any, that you will receive for your Notes may be significantly less than it would otherwise have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the level of the Index prior to such drop.

·                   Lack of Liquidity —The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.  Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice.  Barclays Capital Inc. may at any time hold unsold inventory, which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for the Notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily.  Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes.  The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.  Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

PS-3

·                   Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity —While the payment at maturity described in this preliminary pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates.  As a result, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.

·                   Potential Conflicts —We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes.  In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

·                   Taxes — The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different than described above.  As discussed further in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice in 2007 indicating that it and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, you should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the Notes and whether all or part of the gain you may recognize upon the sale or maturity of an instrument such as the Notes could be treated as ordinary income.  Similarly, the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have current projects open with regard to the tax treatment of pre-paid forward contracts, contingent notional principal contracts and other derivative contracts.  While it is impossible to anticipate how any ultimate guidance would affect the tax treatment of instruments such as the Notes (and while any such guidance may be issued on a prospective basis only), such guidance could be applied retroactively and could in any case increase the likelihood that you will be required to accrue income over the term of an instrument such as the Notes even though you will not receive any payments with respect to the Notes until maturity.  The outcome of this process is uncertain.  You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Notes.

·                   Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes —In addition to the level of the Index, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

o                  the expected volatility of the Index;

o                  the time to maturity of the Notes;

o                  the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the Index;

o                  interest and yield rates in the market generally;

o                  a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and

o                  our creditworthiness, incl uding actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Description of the Index

All information regarding the Index set forth in this pricing supplement reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P Dow Jones Indices”). The Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices.  The Index is reported by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol “SPX <Index>”.

The Index is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of stock price movement in the U.S. equities market. The daily calculation of the level of the Index, discussed below in further detail, is based on the aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.

Composition of the Index

S&P Dow Jones Indices chooses companies for inclusion in the Index with the aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock population of the U.S. equities market. Relevant criteria employed by S&P Dow Jones Indices for new additions include the financial viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, adequate liquidity and reasonable price, an unadjusted market capitalization of US$4.0 billion or more, U.S. domicile, a public float of at least 50% and company classification (i.e. U.S. common equities listed on the NYSE and the NASDAQ stock market and not closed-end funds, holding companies, tracking stocks, partnerships, investment vehicles, royalty trusts, preferred shares, unit trusts, equity warrants, convertible bonds or investment trusts). The ten main groups of companies that comprise the Index include: Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Telecommunication Services and Utilities. S&P Dow Jones Indices may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the Index to achieve the objectives stated above.

The Index does not reflect the payment of dividends on the stocks included in the Index. Because of this the return on the notes will not be the same as the return you would receive if you were to purchase those stocks and hold them for a period equal to the term of the notes.

Computation of the Index

As of September 16, 2005, S&P Dow Jones Indices has used a full float-adjusted formula to calculate the Index. With a float-adjusted index, the share counts used in calculating the Index will reflect only those shares that are available to investors, not all of a company’s outstanding shares.

The float-adjusted Index is calculated as the quotient of (1) the sum of the products of (a) the price of each common stock, (b) the total shares outstanding of each common stock and (c) the investable weight factor (“IWF”) and (2) the index divisor.

The investable weight factor is calculated by dividing (1) the available float shares by (2) the total shares outstanding. Available float shares reflect float adjustments made to the total shares outstanding. Float adjustments seek to distinguish strategic shareholders (whose holdings depend on concerns such as maintaining control rather than the economic fortunes of the company) from those holders whose investments depend on the stock’s price and their evaluation of the company’s future prospects.

Float adjustment excludes shares that are closely held by control groups, other publicly traded companies or government agencies.   Generally, these “control holders” will include officers and directors, private equity, venture capital and special equity firms, other publicly traded companies that hold shares for control, strategic partners, holders of restricted shares, employee stock option plans, employee and family trusts, foundations associated with the company, holders of unlisted share classes of stock, government entities at all levels (other than government retirement/pension funds) and any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings.  However, holdings by certain asset managers, such as depositary banks, pension funds, mutual funds and ETF providers, 401(k) plans of the company, government retirement/pension funds, investment funds of insurance companies, asset managers and investment funds, independent foundations and savings and investment plans, will ordinarily be considered part of the float.  Effective as of September 2012, all shareholdings representing more than 5% of a stock’s outstanding shares, other than holdings by these asset managers, were removed from the float for purposes of calculating the Index.

Treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. Shares held in a trust to allow investors in countries outside the country of domicile, such as depositary shares and Canadian exchangeable shares are normally part of the float unless those shares form a control block.  If a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class are treated as a control block.

For each stock, the IWF is calculated by dividing the available float shares by the total shares outstanding.  Available float shares are defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held by control holders.  This calculation is subject to a 5% minimum threshold for control blocks.  For example, if a company’s officers and directors hold 3% of the company’s shares, and no other control group holds 5% of the company’s shares, S&P Dow Jones Indices would assign that company an IWF of 1.00, as no control group meets the 5% threshold.  However, if a company’s officers and directors hold 3% of the company’s shares and another control group holds 20% of the company’s shares, S&P Dow Jones Indices would assign an IWF of 0.77, reflecting the fact that 23% of the company’s outstanding shares are considered to be held for control.  For companies with multiple classes of stock, the multiple classes are combined into one class with an adjusted share count.  In these cases, the stock price is based on one class, usually the most liquid class, and the share count is based on the total shares outstanding.

PS-5

Changes in a company’s total shares outstanding of 5.0% or more due to public offerings, tender offers, Dutch auctions, or exchange offers are made as soon as reasonably possible. Other changes of 5.0% or more (for example, due to company stock repurchases, private placements, an acquisition of a privately held company, redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participations, or other recapitalizations) are made weekly and are announced on Wednesdays for implementation after the close of trading on the following Wednesday (one week later). Changes of less than 5.0% are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.

Changes due to mergers or acquisitions of publicly held companies are made as soon as reasonably possible, regardless of the size of the change, although de minimis merger and acquisition share changes may be accumulated and implemented with the quarterly share rebalancing. Corporate actions such as stock splits, stock dividends, spinoffs and rights offerings are generally applied after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date. Share changes resulting from exchange offers are made on the ex-date. Changes in investable weight factors of more than five percentage points caused by corporate actions will be made as soon as possible. Changes in investable weight factors of less than five percentage points will be made annually, in September when revised investable weight factors are reviewed. A share freeze is implemented the week of the rebalancing effective date, the third Friday of the last month of each quarter, during which shares are not changed except for certain corporate actions (merger activity, stock splits, rights offerings and certain dividend payable events).

As discussed above, the value of the Index is the quotient of (1) the total float-adjusted market capitalization of the Index’s constituents (i.e., the sum of the products of (a) the price of each common stock, (b) the total shares outstanding of each common stock and (c) the investable weight factor) and (2) the index divisor. Continuity in index values is maintained by adjusting the divisor for all changes in the constituents’ share capital after the base date, which is the period from 1941 to 1943. This includes additions and deletions to the index, rights issues, share buybacks and issuances, and spin-offs. The index divisor’s time series is, in effect, a chronological summary of all changes affecting the base capital of the Index since the base date. The index divisor is adjusted such that the index value at an instant just prior to a change in base capital equals the index value at an instant immediately following that change. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the Index and do not require adjustments to the index divisor.
