ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES

The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Initial Valuation Date, based on prevailing market conditions on the Initial Valuation Date, and will be communicated to investors either orally or in a final pricing supplement.

Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates , and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing, and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Notes may be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected to be less than the initial issue price of the Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of the Notes and our estimated value of the Notes is expected to result from several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.

Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after pricing date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately six months after the Issue Date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial issue date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PPS-13 of this preliminary pricing supplement.

YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR OFFER TO PURCHASE THE NOTES AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO INITIAL VALUATION DATE. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF, OR REJECT ANY OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE NOTES PRIOR TO THE INITIAL VALUATION DATE. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTES, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ACCEPT SUCH CHANGES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PURCHASE. YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT SUCH CHANGES IN WHICH CASE WE MAY REJECT YOUR OFFER TO PURCHASE.

HYPOTHETICAL CONTINGENT PAYMENT EXAMPLES

The payment of a Contingent Payment on any Contingent Payment Date will be dependent on the Closing Level of the Index on the related Valuation Date. If the Closing Level of the Index on such Valuation Date is equal to or less than the Coupon Barrier Level, then there will not be a Contingent Payment made on the corresponding Contingent Payment Date. Alternatively, if the Closing Level of the Index on such Valuation Date is greater than the Coupon Barrier Level, then a Contingent Payment will be made on the corresponding Contingent Payment Date. If the Closing Level of the Index on each Valuation Date is equal to or less than the Coupon Barrier Level, then no Contingent Payments will be made over the term of the Notes. If the Issuer exercises the “Early Redemption at the Option of the Issuer”, no Contingent Payments will be made following the date of such exercise.

Quarterly Contingent Payment Calculations

Step 1: Determine Whether the Closing Level of the Index is Greater than the Coupon Barrier Level.

The Calculation Agent will take the Closing Level of the Index on each Valuation Date and evaluate it relative to the Coupon Barrier Level (that is, whether the Closing Level on that day is greater than, equal to, or less than the Coupon Barrier Level). If the Closing Level of the Index is greater than the Coupon Barrier Level, a Contingent Payment will be made (as calculated in Step 2 below) and payable on the corresponding Contingent Payment Date. If the Closing Level of the Index is equal to or less than the Coupon Barrier Level, then no Contingent Payment will be made on the corresponding Contingent Payment Date.

Step 2: Calculate the Contingent Payment, if Any:

If on the respective Valuation Date, the Closing Level of the Index is greater than the Coupon Barrier Level, we will pay a Contingent Payment equal to the Contingent Rate multiplied by the stated principal amount; otherwise no Contingent Payment will be due on the corresponding Contingent Payment Date. The Contingent Rate will be determined on the Initial Valuation Date and will not be less than 1.80% (7.20% per annum). Assuming that the Contingent Rate is set at 1.80% (7.20% per annum), the Contingent Payment will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 × Contingent Rate = Contingent Payment

$1,000 × 1.80% = $18.00

No adjustments to the amount of the Contingent Payment calculated will be made in the event a Contingent Payment Date is not a Business Day. Payment will be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the specified date.

Examples of Contingent Payment Calculations

The tables and examples below illustrate the determination as to whether a Contingent Payment will be made with respect to a series of hypothetical Valuation Dates. The hypothetical examples set forth below are based on the following additional assumptions: (i) a Contingent Rate of 1.80% (per annum 7.20%); (ii) the Coupon Barrier Level is 70.00% of the Initial Level; (iii) the Notes are held until the Maturity Date and the Issuer has not exercised the “Early Redemption at the Option of the Issuer”; and (iv) no Market Disruption Event with respect to the Index has occurred or is continuing on any Valuation Date, including the Final Valuation Date. Numbers in the table and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below also do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes.

PPS-5

Table 1 During the Term of the Notes, On Certain Valuation Dates, the Closing Level of the Index has been Equal to or Less Than the Coupon Barrier Level and on Certain Valuation Dates, the Closing Level of the Index has been Greater than the Coupon Barrier Level. As a Result, During the Term of the Notes on Certain Contingent Payment Dates a Contingent Payment Will Be Due and On Other Contingent Payment Dates, No Contingent Payment Will Be Due.

The total Contingent Payments received per Note would be $360.00.

The total Contingent Payments received per Note would be $730.00.

Table 3 With Respect to Each Valuation Date, the Closing Level of the Index Has Been Equal to or Less than the Coupon Barrier Level. This Example Illustrates the Minimum Possible Quarterly Contingent Payments that Would be Due During the Term of the Notes, Which is $0.00.

The total Contingent Payments received per Note would be $0.00.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYMENT AT MATURITY CALCULATIONS

The following illustrate the hypothetical amounts payable at maturity. The hypothetical payment at maturity examples set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the Notes. The numbers appearing in the following table have been rounded for ease of analysis. Note that, for purposes of the hypothetical payment at maturity calculations set forth below, we are assuming that (i) the Initial Level of the Russell 2000 Index is 992.67 (ii) the Barrier Level with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 545.97 (the hypothetical Initial Level of the Russell 2000 Index multiplied by 55.00%, rounded to the nearest hundredth), and (iii) the Notes are not redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to “Early Redemption at the Option of the Issuer” as described above. The hypothetical examples set forth below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes.

The payment at maturity, in addition to any final Contingent Payment, will depend on whether the Final Level of the Index is greater than, equal to or less than the Barrier Level. You will receive (subject to our credit risk) a payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of your Notes only if the Final Level of the Index is greater than or equal to the Barrier Level with respect the Index.

If the Final Level of the Index is less than the Barrier Level, you will receive (subject to our credit risk) a payment at maturity that is less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount of your Notes, calculated by the Calculation Agent as the sum of the (i) the principal amount of your Notes, plus (ii) the product of (a) the principal amount of your Notes multiplied by (b) the Index Return. As such, if the Final Level of the Index has depreciated by more than 45.00% relative to its Initial Level, you may lose a portion or all of the principal amount of your Notes at maturity.

The following table illustrates the hypothetical payments at maturity assuming a range of performances for the Index:

PPS-8

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated:

Example 1: The Index increases from an Initial Level of 992.67 to a Final Level of 1,091.94.

Because the Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level, the investor will receive at maturity, in addition to the final Contingent Payment, a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

Example 2: The Index decreases from an Initial Level of 992.67 to a Final Level of 794.14

Although the Final Level is less than the Initial Level, the Final Level is above the Barrier Level. Accordingly, the investor will receive at maturity, in addition to a final Contingent Payment, a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

Example 3: The Index decreases from an Initial Level of 992.67 to a Final Level of 297.80.

Because the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level, the investor is fully exposed to the depreciation of the Index (as measured from its Initial Level to its Final Level) and receives a payment at maturity of $300.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × Index Return]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × -70.00%] = $300.00

SELECTED PURCHASE CONSIDERATIONS

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 contingent income-bearing executory contract with respect to the Index.

PPS-9

If your Notes are properly treated as a contingent income-bearing executory contract, it would be reasonable (i) to treat any Contingent Payments you receive on the Notes as items of ordinary income taxable in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) to recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or maturity of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount you receive at such time (other than amounts attributable to a Contingent Payment) and your basis in the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your Notes for more than one year. Any character mismatch arising from your inclusion of ordinary income in respect of the Contingent Payments and capital loss (if any) upon the sale, redemption or maturity of your Notes may result in adverse tax consequences to you because an investor's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

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.

NO STATUTORY, JUDICIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY DIRECTLY DISCUSSES HOW YOUR NOTES SHOULD BE TREATED FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. AS A RESULT, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES ARE UNCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF INVESTING IN THE NOTES.

Alternative Treatments . 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. Other alternative treatments for your Notes may also be possible under current law. For example, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as debt instruments subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. Under the contingent payment debt instrument rules, you generally would be required to accrue interest on a current basis in respect of the Notes over their term based on the comparable yield and projected payment schedule for the Notes and pay tax accordingly, even though these amounts may exceed the Contingent Payments (if any) that are made on the Notes. You would also be required to make adjustments to your accruals if the actual amounts that you receive in any taxable year differ from the amounts shown on the projected payment schedule. In addition, any gain you may recognize on the sale, redemption or maturity of the Notes would be taxed as ordinary interest income and any loss you may recognize on the sale, redemption or maturity of the Notes would generally be ordinary loss to the extent of the interest you previously included as income without an offsetting negative adjustment and thereafter would be capital loss. You should consult your tax advisor as to the special rules that govern contingent payment debt instruments.

It is also possible that your Notes could be treated as an investment unit consisting of (i) a debt instrument that is issued to you by us and (ii) a put option in respect of the Index that is issued by you to us. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible consequences of this alternative treatment.

In addition, it is possible that (i) you should not include the Contingent Payments (if any) in income as you receive them and instead you should reduce your basis in your Notes by the amount of the Contingent Payments that you receive; (ii) you should not include the Contingent Payments (if any) in income as you receive them and instead, upon the sale, redemption or maturity of your Notes, you should recognize short-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the amount of the Contingent Payments made to you over the term of the Notes (including any Contingent Payment received at redemption or maturity or the amount of cash that you receive upon a sale that is attributable to the Contingent Payments to be made on the Notes) and (b) the excess (if any) of (1) the amount you paid for your Notes over (2) the amount of cash you receive upon the sale, redemption or maturity (excluding any Contingent Payment received at redemption or maturity or the amount of cash that you receive upon a sale that is attributable to the Contingent Payments to be made on the Notes); or (iii) if any Contingent Payment is made at redemption or maturity, such Contingent Payment should not separately be taken into account as ordinary income but instead should increase the amount of capital gain or decrease the amount of capital loss that you recognize at such time.

It is also possible that the Notes could be treated as notional principal contracts that are comprised of a swap component and a loan component. If the Notes were treated as notional principal contracts, you could be required to accrue income over the term of your Notes in respect of the loan component (which may exceed the Contingent Payments, if any, that are made on the Notes), and any gain or loss that you recognize upon the maturity of your notes would likely be treated as ordinary income or loss.

You should consult your tax advisor with respect to these possible alternative treatments.

PPS-10

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Notes as well as other 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—The U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in the Notes is uncertain”, in this preliminary pricing supplement.

Medicare Tax . As discussed under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Medicare Tax” in the accompanying prospectus supplement, certain U.S. holders will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on their “net investment income” if their modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year is over a certain threshold. Net investment income will include any gain that a U.S. holder recognizes upon the sale, redemption or maturity of the Notes, unless such income is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). It is not clear, however, whether the Medicare tax would apply to any Contingent Payments that you receive on the Notes, unless such Contingent Payments are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (in which case the Contingent Payments should be treated as net investment income if they are derived in a trade or business that consists of certain trading or passive activities and should otherwise not be treated as net investment income). Accordingly, U.S. holders that do not hold the Notes in the ordinary conduct of a trade or business should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the Medicare tax to the Contingent Payments.

“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 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 . Barclays currently does not withhold on payments to non-U.S. holders. However, if Barclays determines that there is a material risk that it will be required to withhold on any such payments, Barclays may withhold on any Contingent Payments at a 30% rate, unless you have provided to Barclays (i) a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or (ii) a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming tax treaty benefits that reduce or eliminate withholding. If Barclays elects to withhold and you have provided Barclays with a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming tax treaty benefits that reduce or eliminate withholding, Barclays may nevertheless withhold up to 30% on any Contingent Payments it makes to you if there is any possible characterization of the payments that would not be exempt from withholding under the treaty. Non-U.S. holders will also be subject to the general rules regarding information reporting and backup withholding as described under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding—” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

In addition, 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). However, such withholding would potentially apply only to payments made after December 31, 2013. 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 or the underlying components of 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:

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

If the Issuer exercises its redemption option, you will receive on the applicable Early Redemption Date a cash payment equal to 100% of the principal amount of your Notes together with any Contingent Payment that may be due on such date. This amount may be less than the payment that you would have otherwise been entitled to receive at maturity, and you may not be able to reinvest any amounts received on the Early Redemption Date in a comparable investment with similar risk and yield. No additional payments will be due after the Early Redemption Date. The Issuer’s right to redeem the Notes may also adversely impact your ability to sell your Notes and the price at which they may be sold. The Issuer’s election to redeem the Notes may further limit your ability to sell your Notes and realize any market appreciation of the value of your Notes.
