Performance Securities with Contingent Protection

Linked to the S&P 500^® Index

Strategic Alternatives to Indexing

Barclays Bank PLC $[•] Securities linked to the S&P 500^® Index due June 30, 2014

Investment Description

Performance Securities with Contingent Protection (the “Securities”) are securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) linked to the performance of the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”). The amount you receive at maturity is based on the Index Return and, in certain circumstances, on whether the level of the Index has closed below a specified Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date. If the Index Return is positive or zero, at maturity, you will receive an amount in cash per security that is equal to your principal amount plus an amount based on the Index Return multiplied by a Participation Rate, expected to be between 120% and 130% (the actual Participation Rate will be determined on the Trade Date). If the Index Return is negative and the Index has not closed below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive your principal. If the Index Return is negative and the Index closed below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, your Securities will be fully exposed to the decline in the Index, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Investors will not receive interest or dividend payments during the term of the Securities. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal. The contingent protection feature only applies at maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any contingent protection feature, is subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer.

Features

q Core Investment Opportunity: If you are seeking market exposure to the Index, the Securities may provide an alternative to traditional investments. At maturity, the Securities allow you to participate in any positive Index Return while providing an initial cushion from negative Index Return.

q Contingent Protection Feature: If you hold the Securities to maturity and the Index does not close below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive at least 100% of your principal, subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer. If the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, your investment will be fully exposed to any negative Index Return.

If the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, your principal is fully exposed to any decline in the Index. If the Index Return is positive, you will receive: $10 + [$10 x Index Return x Participation Rate] If the Index Return is 0% you will receive the principal amount of your Securities at maturity. If the Index Return is negative and the Index Level does not close below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive the principal amount of your Securities at maturity. If the Index Return is negative and the Index Level closed below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you will receive the principal amount of your Securities as reduced by such negative Index Return at maturity: $10 + [$10 x Index Return] In this scenario the Contingent Protection is lost and investors will receive a payment at maturity that is less than their principal.
Index Return:	Index Ending Level – Index Starting Level Index Starting Level
Index Starting Level:	The closing level of the Index on the Trade Date.
Index Ending Level:	The closing level of the Index on the Final Valuation Date.

Determining Payment at Maturity

¹ Terms used in this free writing prospectus, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the prospectus supplement.

² The Securities are expected to carry the same rating as the Medium-Term Note Program, Series A, which is rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and will be rated Aa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. The rating is subject to downward revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. The rating (1) does not take into account market risk or the performance-related risks of the investment (including, without limitation, the risks associated with the potential negative performance of any reference asset to which the Securities are linked) and (2) is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities.

³ For a description of adjustments that may affect the reference asset, see “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index or Indices” in the prospectus supplement.

⁴ Principal protection is provided by Barclays Bank PLC and, therefore, is dependent on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations when they come due.

Hypothetical Examples and Return Table of the Securities at Maturity

The following table and examples assume a principal amount per Security of $10, an Index Starting Level of 888.33 and a Participation Rate of 125% (the midpoint of the range).

Index Ending Level	Index Return	Payment at Maturity	Securities Total Return at Maturity
1,776.66	100%	22.50	125.00%
1,687.83	90%	21.25	112.50%
1,598.99	80%	20.00	100.00%
1,510.16	70%	18.75	87.50%
1,421.33	60%	17.50	75.00%
1,332.50	50%	16.25	62.50%
1,243.66	40%	15.00	50.00%
1,154.83	30%	13.75	37.50%
1,066.00	20%	12.50	25.00%
977.16	10%	11.25	12.50%
888.33	0%	10.00	0.00%
799.50	-10%	10.00	0.00%
710.66	-20%	10.00	0.00%
666.25	-25%	10.00	0.00%
621.83	-26%	10.00	0.00%
533.00	-40%	10.00	0.00%
444.17	-50%	10.00	0.00%
355.33	-60%	4.00	-60.00%
266.50	-70%	3.00	-70.00%
177.67	-80%	2.00	-80.00%
88.83	-90%	1.00	-90.00%
0.00	-100%	0.00	-100.00%

Example 1—The level of the Index increases by 10% from an Index Starting Level of 888.33 to an Index Ending Level of 977.16.

Because the Index Ending Level of 977.16 is greater than the Index Starting Level of 888.33, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $11.25 per $10.00 Security principal amount, representing a total return of 12.50% on the Securities.

$10 + ($10 x Index Return x Participation Rate)

$10.00 + [$10.00 x (10% x 125%)] = $11.25

Example 2—The level of the Index decreases by 20% from an Index Starting Level of 888.33 to an Index Ending Level of 710.66, and therefore the Index does not close below the Trigger Level of 444.17 on the Final Valuation Date.

Because the Index Ending Level of 710.66 is less that the Index Starting Level of 888.33 but above the Trigger Level, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $10 per $10 principal amount of Securities.

Example 3: The level of the Index decreases by 60% from an Index Starting Level of 888.33 to an Index Ending Level of 355.33, and therefore the Index closes below the Trigger Level of 444.17 on the Final Valuation Date.

Because the Index Ending Level of 355.33 is less than the Index Starting Level of 888.33 and below the Trigger Level, principal protection is lost and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $4.00 per $10.00 Security principal amount, representing a total return of -60% on the Securities.

$10 + ($10 x Index Return)

$10 + ($10 x -60%) = $10—$6 = $4

If the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, investors are fully exposed to any decline of the Index and could lose some or all of their principal at maturity.

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 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.

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 forward contract with respect to the Index. 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 would generally be long term capital gain or loss if you have held your Securities for more than one year.

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Securities in the manner described above. This opinion assumes that the description of the terms of the Securities in this free writing prospectus 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 Securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Securities 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 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.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or in any of the component stocks underlying the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement.

^¨ Principal Protection only in limited circumstances—Your principal will be protected only if the Index does not close below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date and the Securities are held to maturity.

^¨ Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss—The Securities do not guarantee any return of principal if the level of the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date. The return on the Securities 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. Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the Index and your contingent protection will be eliminated if the level of the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date.

^¨ No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights—As a holder of the Securities, 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.

^¨ Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity for each issue of the offered Securities described in this free writing prospectus is based on the full principal amount of such 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 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.

FWP-5

^¨ 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.

^¨ Lack of 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 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.

^¨ Credit of Issuer—The Securities 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 Securities, including any principal protection provided at maturity, 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 the principal protection or any other amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities.

^¨ 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 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 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 Index.

^¨ Many Economic and Market Factors Will Affect the Value of the Securities—In addition to the level of the Index 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 Index;

^¨ the time to maturity of the Securities;

^¨ the market price and dividend rate on the component stocks underlying the Index;

^¨ interest and yield rates in the market generally;

^¨ a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;

^¨ supply and demand for the Securities; and

^¨ our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

^¨ Potential Barclays Bank PLC impact on price—Trading or transactions by Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates in the stocks composing the Index, or in futures, options, exchange traded funds or other derivative products on the stocks comprising the Index may adversely affect the market value of the stocks comprising the Index, the level of the Index, and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.

S&P 500^® Index

The S&P 500^® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) is published by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. The S&P 500 Index is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The calculation of the value of the S&P 500 Index is based on the relative value of the aggregate market value of the common stock 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. Ten main groups of companies comprise the S&P 500 Index, with the number of companies included in each group as of May 21, 2009 indicated below: Consumer Discretionary (81); Consumer Staples (41); Energy (39); Financials (80); Health Care (54); Industrials (58); Information Technology (75); Materials (28); Telecommunications Services (9); and Utilities (35).

The S&P 500 Index is reported by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol “SPX <Index>“.

The information on the S&P 500 Index provided in this free writing prospectus should be read together with the discussion under the heading “Non—Proprietary Indices—Equity Indices—S&P 500^® Index” in the index supplement.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the S&P 500 Index based on the weekly closing levels of the S&P 500 Index from April 4, 1997 through May 21, 2009. The closing level of the S&P 500 Index on May 21, 2009 was 888.33.

We obtained the closing levels of the S&P 500 Index below from Bloomberg, L.P. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg, L.P. The historical levels of the S&P 500 Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level on the final valuation date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the S&P 500 Index will result in the return of any of your initial investment.
