Barclays Bank PLC Trigger Performance Securities
Linked to an International Fund Basket due June 30, 2016

Investment Description

Trigger Performance Securities (the “Securities”) are unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations issued by Barclays Bank PLC (the “Issuer”) with returns linked to the performance of a weighted basket (the “Underlying Basket”) of exchange-traded funds (each, a “Basket Equity”). If the Basket Return is positive, the Issuer will repay your principal amount at maturity plus pay a return equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the Participation Rate, which will be set on the Trade Date and is expected to be between 110% and 116%. If the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Trigger Level (55% of the Basket Starting Level), the Issuer will repay your principal amount at maturity. However, if the Basket Ending Level is less than the Trigger Level, you will be exposed to the full decline in the Underlying Basket and the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the negative Basket Return. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. The Issuer will not pay any interest on the Securities. You may lose some or all of your principal. The contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any contingent repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. If the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

Features

q Participation in Positive Basket Returns: At maturity, the Securities provide for participation in any positive returns of the Underlying Basket. If the Basket Return is positive, at maturity the Issuer will repay the principal amount plus a return equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the Participation Rate. If the Basket Return is negative, investors may be exposed to the full decline in the Underlying Basket at maturity.
 
q

Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity: If the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Trigger Level, the Issuer will repay the principal amount at maturity. However, if the Basket Ending Level is less than the Trigger Level, meaning the Basket Return is less than -45%, the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss to investors that is proportionate to the negative Basket Return. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any contingent repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer.

Final Valuation Date2: June 24, 2016
Maturity Date2: June 30, 2016

1      Expected. In the event we make any change to the expected Trade Date and Settlement Date, the Final Valuation Date and Maturity Date will be changed so that the stated term of the Securities remains the same.
2      Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event as described under “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of Shares or Other Interests in an Exchange-Traded Fund or Exchange- Traded Funds” and “Reference Assets—Baskets—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of a Basket of Multiple Indices, Equity Securities, Foreign Currencies, Interest Rates, Commodities, Any Other Assets or Any Combination Thereof” in the prospectus supplement.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING BASKET. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF BARCLAYS BANK PLC. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE FWP-8 AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE S-6 OF THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.

Investor Suitability

The Securities may be suitable for you if:

®      You fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.
 
®      You can tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment, and you are willing to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as an investment in the Underlying Basket.
 
®      You would be willing to invest in the Securities if the Participation Rate were set equal to the bottom end of the indicated range specified on the cover hereof (the actual Participation Rate will be determined on the Trade Date).
 
®      You do not seek current income from this investment, and you are willing to forgo any dividends paid on the Basket Equities and the component stocks of the Basket Equities.
 
®      You are willing and able to hold the Securities to maturity, a term of 5 years, and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities.
 
®      You are willing to assume the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Securities, for all payments under the Securities and understand that if Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities, including any repayment of principal.
 
 

The Securities may not be suitable for you if:

®      You do not fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.
 
®      You require an investment designed to provide a full return of principal at maturity.
 
®      You cannot tolerate the loss of some or all of your initial investment and are not willing to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as an investment in the Underlying Basket.
 
®      You would be unwilling to invest in the Securities if the Participation Rate were set equal to the bottom end of the indicated range specified on the cover hereof (the actual Participation Rate will be determined on the Trade Date).
 
®      You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings that bear interest at a prevailing market rate.

Indicative Terms1

Issuer: Barclays Bank PLC

Issue Price: $10.00 per Security

Term: 5 years

Reference Asset2:

The Securities are linked to a weighted basket comprised of (i) iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (“EFA”) and (ii) iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (“EEM”) (each a “Basket Equity” and collectively, the “Underlying Basket”).


Basket Weightings: With respect to: (i) EFA: 70%; and (iii) EEM: 30%.

Trigger Level: 55, which is 55% of the Basket Starting Level

Participation Rate: 110% to 116% (to be determined on Trade Date)

Payment at Maturity
(per $10.00)
  • If the Basket Return is positive, the Issuer will repay the principal amount plus pay a return equal to the Basket Return multiplied by the Participation Rate. Accordingly, the payment at maturity per $10 principal amount Security would be calculated as follows:

$10 + [$10 × Basket Return × Participation Rate]

  • If the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Trigger Level, the Issuer will repay the full principal amount at maturity of $10.00 per $10 principal amount Security.

  • If the Basket Return is negative and the Basket Ending Level is less than the Trigger Level, meaning the Basket Return is less than -45%, the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss to investors that is proportionate to the depreciation of the Underlying Basket over the term of the Securities. Accordingly, the payment at maturity per $10 principal amount Security would be calculated as follows:

$10 + [$10 × Basket Return]

If the Underlying Basket closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, your principal is fully exposed to any decline in the Underlying Basket and you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity.


Basket Return:

Basket Ending Level – Basket Starting Level
Basket Starting Level


Basket Starting Level: Set equal to 100 on the Trade Date

Basket Ending Level:

On the Final Valuation Date, the Basket Ending Level will be calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (EFA return × 70%) + (EEM return × 30%)]

The returns set forth in the formula above reflect the performance of the Basket Equities as described under “Basket Equity Return” below.


Basket Equity Return:

With respect to each Basket Equity, the percentage change from the Equity Starting Price to the Equity Ending Price, calculated as follows:

Equity Ending Price – Equity Starting Price
Equity Starting Price


Equity Starting Price:

With respect to each Basket Equity, the closing price for such Basket Equity on the Trade Date.


Equity Ending Price:

With respect to each Basket Equity, the closing price for such Basket Equity on the Final Valuation Date.

The actual terms will be determined on the Trade Date. Numbers in the table and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Basket Ending Level Basket Return Payment at Maturity Total Return on the

50 -50.00% $5.00 -50.00%

40 -60.00% $4.00 -60.00%

30 -70.00% $3.00 -70.00%

20 -80.00% $2.00 -80.00%

10 -90.00% $1.00 -90.00%

0 -100.00% $0.00 -100.00%

Example 1 – On the Final Valuation Date, the Equity Ending Price of each Basket Equity is greater than its Equity Starting Price, resulting in a Basket Return of 20.00%.

Step 1: Calculate the Basket Equity Return for each Basket Equity.

Basket Equity
      Equity Starting Price
      Equity Ending Price
      Basket Equity Return
EFA   $60.80   $76.00   25.00%
EEM   $47.75   $51.73   8.33%

With respect to each Basket Equity, the Basket Equity Return is equal to the percentage change from the Equity Starting Price to the Equity Ending Price, calculated as follows:

Equity Ending Price – Equity Starting Price
Equity Starting Price

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The Basket Ending Level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (70.00% × 25.00%) + (30.00% × 8.33%)] = 120

Step 3: Calculate the Basket Return.

The Basket Return is calculated as follows:

Basket Ending Level – Basket Starting Level   120 – 100    

  =  
  =   20.00%
Basket Starting Level   100    

Step 4: Calculate the payment at maturity.

Because the Basket Return of 20.00% is positive, the Issuer will pay a payment at maturity calculated as follows per $10 principal amount Security:

$10 + [$10 × Basket Return × Participation Rate]

$10 + [$10 × 20.00% × 113.00%] = $10 + $2.26 = $12.26

The payment at maturity equals $12.26 per $10 principal amount Security, representing a total return on the Securities of 22.60%.

FWP-5



Example 2 – On the Final Valuation Date, the Equity Ending Price of EEM is greater than its Equity Starting Price while the Equity Ending Price of EFA is less than its Equity Starting Price, resulting in a Basket Return of -10.00%.

Step 1: Calculate the Basket Equity Return for each Basket Equity.

Basket Equity       Equity Starting Price       Equity Ending Price       Basket Equity Return

 
 
 
EFA   $60.80   $51.68   -15.00%
EEM   $47.75   $48.55   1.67%

With respect to each Basket Equity, the Basket Equity Return is equal to the percentage change from the Equity Starting Price to the Equity Ending Price, calculated as follows:

Equity Ending Price – Equity Starting Price
Equity Starting Price

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The Basket Ending Level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (70.00% × -15.00%) + (30.00% × 1.67%)] = 90

Step 3: Calculate the Basket Return.

The Basket Return is calculated as follows:

Basket Ending Level – Basket Starting Level   90 – 100    

  =  
  =   -10.00%
Basket Starting Level   100    

Step 4: Calculate the payment at maturity.

Because the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Trigger Level, the Issuer will repay the full principal amount at maturity of $10.00 per $10 principal amount Security. The payment at maturity of $10.00 per $10 principal amount Security represents a zero return on the Securities.

Example 3 – On the Final Valuation Date, the Equity Ending Price of each Basket Equity is less than its Equity Starting Price, resulting in a Basket Return of -50.00%:

Step 1: Calculate the Basket Equity Return for each Basket Equity.

Basket Equity
      Equity Starting Price
      Equity Ending Price
      Basket Equity Return
EFA   $60.80   $24.32   -60.00%
EEM   $47.75   $35.02   -26.67%

With respect to each Basket Equity, the Basket Equity Return is equal to the percentage change from the Equity Starting Price to the Equity Ending Price, calculated as follows:

Equity Ending Price – Equity Starting Price
Equity Starting Price

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The Basket Ending Level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (70.00% × -60.00%) + (30.00% × -26.67%)] = 50

Step 3: Calculate the Basket Return.

The Basket Return is calculated as follows:

Basket Ending Level – Basket Starting Level   50 – 100    

  =  
  =   -50.00%
Basket Starting Level   100    

Step 4: Calculate the payment at maturity.

Because the Basket Return is negative and the Basket Ending Level is less than the Trigger Level, the Issuer will pay a payment at maturity calculated as follows per $10 principal amount Security:

$10 + [$10 × Basket Return]

$10 + [$10 × -50.00%] = $10 + -$5.00 = $5.00

The payment at maturity of $5.00 per $10 principal amount Security, represents a total return on the Securities of -50.00%.

If the Basket Ending Level is below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, at maturity the Issuer will pay less than the full principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss to investors that is proportionate to the full depreciation of the Underlying Basket from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date.

FWP-6



What are the tax consequences of the Securities?

Some of the tax consequences of your investment in the Securities are summarized below. The discussion below supplements the discussion under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. As described in the prospectus supplement, this section applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) and you hold your Securities 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 Securities in the initial issuance of the Securities).

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Securities in the manner described below. This opinion assumes that the description of the terms of the Securities in this free writing prospectus is materially correct.

The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Securities are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Securities should be taxed in a manner that is different than described below. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities, 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 Securities as a pre-paid cash-settled executory contract with respect to the Underlying Basket. Subject to the discussion of Section 1260 below, if your Securities are so treated, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Securities. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your Securities for more than one year. Long-term capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder that is recognized in a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2013 is generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Long-term capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder that is recognized in a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2013 is generally expected to be taxed at preferential rates.

Although not entirely clear, it is possible that the purchase and ownership of the Securities could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” with respect to the Underlying Basket that is subject to the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code. If your Securities were subject to the constructive ownership rules, then any long-term capital gain that you realize upon the sale or maturity of your Securities that is attributable to the appreciation of the shares of each Basket Equity over the term of the Securities would be recharacterized as ordinary income (and you would be subject to an interest charge on deferred tax liability with respect to such capital gain) to the extent that such capital gain exceeds the amount of long-term capital gain that you would have realized had you purchased the actual number of shares of each Basket Equity referenced by your Securities on the date that you purchased the Securities and sold those shares on the date of the sale or maturity of the Securities (the “Excess Gain Amount”). Because the maturity payment under the Securities will only reflect the appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares of the Basket Equities and will not be determined by reference to any short-term capital gains or ordinary income, if any, that is recognized by holders of shares of the Basket Equities, we believe that it is more likely than not that the Excess Gain Amount will be equal to zero, and that the application of the constructive ownership rules will accordingly not have any adverse effects to you. However, it is possible that the Excess Gain Amount could be greater than zero if the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserts that, with respect to each Basket Equity, the number of Basket Equity shares used to determine the Excess Gain Amount should be calculated by dividing the amount you paid for your Securities (times the relevant Basket Weighting) by the Basket Equity share price on the date you acquired your Securities, as opposed to making such determination based on the actual number of Basket Equity shares that, after taking into account the Participation Rate, are effectively referenced in determining the actual return on your Securities. Because the application of the constructive ownership rules is unclear, however, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the possible application of the constructive ownership rules to your investment in the Securities.

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 Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Other alternative treatments for your Securities may also be possible under current law. For example, it is possible that the Securities could be treated as a debt instrument that is subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. If your Securities are so treated, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your Securities and you would recognize gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your Securities. Any gain you recognize upon the sale or maturity of your Securities would be ordinary income and any loss recognized by you at such time would generally be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included in income in the current or previous taxable years with respect to your Securities, and thereafter would be capital loss.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Securities as well other 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 Securities. For additional, important considerations related to tax risks associated with investing in the Securities, you should also examine the discussion in “Key Risks—Taxes”, in this free writing prospectus.

Recently Enacted Legislation. Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 are generally required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following (which may include your Securities), 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. Individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Securities.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying Basket or the Basket Equities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Securities offered hereby are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of your particular circumstances.

®      You Risk Losing Some or All of Your Principal—The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that the Issuer will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Securities. The Issuer will only pay you the principal amount of your Securities if the Basket Ending Level is greater than or equal to the Trigger Level and will only make such payment at maturity. If the Basket Ending Level is below the Trigger Level, meaning the Basket Return is less than -45%, you will be exposed to the full negative Basket Return and the Issuer will pay you less than the full principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss of your initial investment that is proportionate to the depreciation of the Underlying Basket from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. Accordingly, if the Basket Ending Level has declined by more than 45% from the Initial Price over the term of the Securities, you risk losing 100% of your principal.
 
®      Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity—Barclays Bank PLC will pay you at least the principal amount of your Securities under the certain limited circumstances described in this free writing prospectus only if you hold your Securities to maturity. The market value of the Securities may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the Final Valuation Date. If you are able to sell your Securities in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the level of the Underlying Basket is above the Trigger Level. You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. Contingent repayment of principal at maturity is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party.
 
®      The Participation Rate Feature Applies Only if You Hold the Securities to Maturity—You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, the price you receive will likely not reflect the full economic value of the Participation Rate or the Securities themselves, and the return you realize may be less than the Underlying Basket's return even if such return is positive. You can receive the full benefit of the Participation Rate from the Issuer only if you hold your Securities to maturity.
 
®      Changes in Closing Prices of the Basket Equities May Offset Each Other—The Securities are linked to a weighted basket comprised of the Basket Equities. Where the Equity Ending Price of one of the Basket Equities increases relative to its Equity Starting Price, the Equity Ending Price of the other Basket Equity may not increase by the same amount or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Ending Level, increases in the price of one of the Basket Equities may be moderated, or offset, by lesser increases or declines in the price of the other Basket Equity. This effect is further amplified by the differing weights of the Basket Equities. The more heavily weighted Basket Equity, EFA, will have a larger impact on the Basket Return than EEM, which has a lesser weighting.
 
®      Owning the Securities is Not the Same as Owning the Basket Equities—The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Basket Equities or the component stocks of the Basket Equities. As a holder of the Securities, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Basket Equities may have.
 
®      No Interest Payments—The Issuer will not make periodic interest payments on the Securities, and the return on the Securities is limited to the performance of the Underlying Basket from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date.
 
®      Credit of Issuer—The Securities are 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 Securities, including any contingent repayment of principal, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the Securities and, 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 Securities and you could lose your entire investment.
 
®      Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity for the offered Securities described in this free writing prospectus is based on the full principal amount of the Securities, the original issue price of the Securities includes the agents’ commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates will be willing to purchase the Securities from you prior to maturity in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any such sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your Securities to maturity.
 
®      Dealer Incentives—We, our affiliates and agents act in various capacities with respect to the Securities. We and other of our affiliates may act as a principal, agent or dealer in connection with the Securities. Such affiliates, including the sales representatives, will derive compensation from the distribution of the Securities and such compensation may serve as an incentive to sell these Securities instead of other investments. We will pay compensation of $0.35 per Security to the principals, agents and dealers in connection with the distribution of the Securities.
 
®      Limited Liquidity—The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase the Securities in the secondary market but are not required to do so and may cease any such market making activities at any time. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities 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 Securities.

FWP-8



®      Potential Conflicts—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Securities. 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 Securities.
 
®      Taxes—The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Securities is uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Securities should be taxed in a manner that is different than described above. As discussed further in the accompanying prospectus supplement, on December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice 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 Securities even though you will not receive any payments with respect to the Securities until maturity and whether all or part of the gain you may recognize upon the sale or maturity of an instrument such as the Securities could be treated as ordinary income. The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Securities.
 
®      Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by Barclays, UBS Financial Services Inc. or Their Respective Affiliates—Barclays, UBS Financial Services Inc. or their respective affiliates and agents may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Barclays, UBS Financial Services Inc. or their respective affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Securities and the Basket Equities.
 
®      Potential Barclays Bank PLC Impact on Price—Trading or transactions by Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates in the shares of the Basket Equities or in futures, options, or other derivative products on the shares of the Basket Equities may adversely affect the prices of the Basket Equities and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.
 
®      Certain Features of Exchange-Traded Funds Will Impact the Value of the Securities—The performance of each Basket Equity does not fully replicate the performance of the applicable Underlying Index, and each Basket Equity may hold securities not included in the applicable Underlying Index. The value of the Basket Equities to which your Securities are linked are subject to:
 
      ®      Management risk. This is the risk that the investment strategy for the Basket Equities, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results.
 
  ®      Derivatives risk. The Basket Equities may invest in stock index futures contracts and other derivatives. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset such as a security or an index. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices, and thus the Basket Equities’ losses, and, as a consequence, the losses of your Securities, may be greater than if the Basket Equities invested only in conventional securities.
 
®      The Basket Equities May Underperform the Underlying Indices—The performance of the Basket Equities may not replicate the performance of, and may underperform, the MSCI EAFE® Index and MSCI Emerging Markets Index SM (each, an “Underlying Index” and together, the “Underlying Indices”). Unlike the applicable Underlying Index, each Basket Equity will reflect transaction costs and fees that will reduce its relative performance. Moreover, it is also possible that a Basket Equity may not fully replicate or may, in certain circumstances, diverge significantly from the performance of the applicable Underlying Index; for example, due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the Basket Equity, differences in trading hours between the Basket Equity and the Underlying Index or due to other circumstances. Because the payment due at maturity of your Securities is linked to the performance of the Basket Equities and not the Underlying Indices, the return on your Securities may be less than that of an alternative investment linked directly to the Underlying Indices.
 
®      Exposure to Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates—The value of the Securities will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the component stocks of the Basket Equities are denominated. Therefore, if the applicable currencies depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Securities, you may lose money even if the local currency value of the component stocks of the Basket Equities goes up.
 
®      Risks Associated with Emerging Markets—An investment in the Securities linked to iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund will involve risks not generally associated with investments which have no emerging market component. In particular, many emerging nations are undergoing rapid institutional change, involving the restructuring of economic, political, financial and legal systems. Regulatory and tax environments may be subject to change without review or appeal. Many emerging markets suffer from underdevelopment of capital markets and tax regulation. The risk of expropriation and nationalization remains a threat. Guarding against such risks is made more difficult by low levels of corporate disclosure and unreliability of economic and financial data.
 
®      Non-U.S. Securities Markets Risks—The stocks included in the Basket Equities are issued by foreign companies in foreign securities markets. These stocks may be more volatile and may be subject to different political, market, economic, exchange rate, regulatory and other risks which may have a negative impact on the performance of the financial products linked to the Basket Equities, which may have an adverse effect on the Securities. Also, the public availability of information concerning the issuers of stocks included in the Basket Equities will vary depending on their home jurisdiction and the reporting requirements imposed by their respective regulators. In addition, the issuers of the stocks included in the Basket Equities may be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to United States reporting companies.

FWP-9



®      The Payment at Maturity on Your Securities is Not Based on the Prices of the Basket Equities at Any Time Other than the Final Valuation Date—The Equity Ending Price of each Basket Equity and the Basket Return will be based solely on the closing price of the Basket Equities on the Final Valuation Date (subject to adjustments as described in the prospectus supplement). Therefore, if the price of one or both of the Basket Equities drops precipitously on the Final Valuation Date, the payment at maturity on your Securities, if any, that the Issuer pays you for your Securities may be significantly less than it would otherwise have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the price of the Basket Equities at a time prior to such drop. Although the price of the Basket Equities on the maturity date or at other times during the life of your Securities may be higher than the closing price on the Final Valuation Date, you will not benefit from the price of the Basket Equities at any time other than the Final Valuation Date.
 
®      Many Economic and Market Factors Will Affect the Value of the Securities—In addition to the price of the Basket Equities on any day, the value of the Securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
 
  ®      the expected volatility of the Basket Equities, the Underlying Indices and the component stocks of the Underlying Indices;
 
  ®      the time to maturity of the Securities;
 
  ®      the market prices and dividend rates of the Basket Equities and the component stocks of the Underlying Indices;
 
  ®      interest and yield rates in the market generally;
 
  ®      a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
 
  ®      the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and currencies in which the stocks underlying the Basket Equities are denominated;
 
  ®      our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
 
Information about the Underlying Basket

Included in the following pages is a brief description of the Basket Equities comprising the Underlying Basket. This information has been obtained from publicly available sources. We urge you to read the following section in the accompanying prospectus supplement: “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Reference Asset Investment Company and Reference Asset Information”. Companies with securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is commonly referred to as the “Securities Act”, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which is commonly referred to as the “40 Act”, are required to periodically file certain financial and other information specified by the SEC. Information filed by the issuers of the Basket Equities with the SEC can be reviewed electronically through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is http://www.sec.gov. Information filed with the SEC by the issuers of the Basket Equities can be located by reference to its SEC file number provided below. In addition, information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Section of the SEC, 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of this material can also be obtained from the Public Reference Section, at prescribed rates.

The summary information below regarding the Basket Equities comes from the issuers’ SEC filings and has not been independently verified by us. We do not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such information or of any filings made by the issuers of the Basket Equities with the SEC. You are urged to refer to the SEC filings made by the issuers and to other publicly available information (such as the issuers’ annual report) to obtain an understanding of the issuers’ business and financial prospects. The summary information contained below is not designed to be, and should not be interpreted as, an effort to present information regarding the financial prospects of any issuer or any trends, events or other factors that may have a positive or negative influence on those prospects or as an endorsement of any particular issuer.

Information contained on certain websites mentioned below is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered part of, this free writing prospectus.

Your payment at maturity is based on the performance of the Underlying Basket, which is comprised of each of the two Basket Equities. Therefore, the appreciation of one Basket Equity may be offset by a lesser appreciation, or a decline, of the other Basket Equity at maturity. Further, the 70% weighting for EFA means that the performance of EFA will have a greater impact on the Final Basket Level, and therefore on the value of your Securities, than the performance of EEM.
