ETN+ PERFORMANCE UPDATE

In mid-November of 2009, Barclays Bank PLC launched five new Barclays ETN+ Notes, which offer exposure to leveraged returns linked to the performance or inverse performance of the S&P 500© Total Return lndexSM.

The Barclays ETN+ Notes are unlike many common leveraged ETFs and ETN5, which track a fixed multiple of the daily performance of an underlying index. Rather, the Barclays ETN+ Notes are designed to deliver a fixed multiple of index performance over the term of the Barclays ETN Notes, less certain costs and fees.

A performance update for the Barclays ETN+ Notes is attached; a comparison with an investment in leveraged ETF5 over the same period follows below.
