BXUB PERFORMANCE UPDATE Overview

Barclays ETN+ Long B Leveraged Exchange Traded Notes (the “Securities”) that Barclays Bank PLC may issue from time to time are linked to the S&P 500 Total Return IndexSM (the “Index”). The Securities do not pay any interest during their term and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity or upon redemption1. Unless a stop loss3 termination event occurs, you will receive a cash payment at maturity or upon redemption based on a leveraged participation in the performance of the Index, less the accrued financing charges applied by Barclays Bank PLC.

S&P 500 Total Return IndexSM

The S&P 500 IndexSM is a collection of US equities representing a broad industry mix in the overall stock population of the US equity market. The S&P 500 Total Return IndexSM is a total return Index that reflects both changes in the prices of stocks in the S&P 500 IndexSM as well as the reinvestment of the dividend income4 from its underlying stocks.

Past performance is not indicative of future results

1 An investor may redeem the Securities on a daily basis directly to the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, provided that the investor presents at least 25,000 of the securities for redemption and follows the procedures described in the relevant pricing supplement.

2 Unlike most funds or ETFs, the Barclays ETN+ notes do not charge a fixed fee on the value of each Security; instead they charge an annualized fee based on notional cash amounts underlying each Security. “T-bills” refers here to the most recent weekly high discount rate for 91-day US Treasury Bills effective on the relevant preceding business day in New York City.

3 There will be an automatic redemption of any series of Barclays ETN+ notes (in whole only, but not in part) if, on any index business day prior to or on the final valuation date, the intraday indicative note value is less than or equal to $10.00 for each Security. Before investing in Barclays ETN+ notes, investors should read full the pricing supplement for each Barclays ETN+ note, available through visiting www.sec.gov and www.barx-is.com.

4 Specifically, in calculating the Index, ordinary cash dividends are applied on the ex-dividend date. “ Special dividends” are those dividends that are outside of the normal payment pattern established historically by the issuing corporation. These may be described by the corporation as “special”, “extra”, “year-end”, or “return of capital”. Whether a dividend is funded from operating earnings or from other sources of cash does not affect the determination of whether it is ordinary or special. “Special dividends” are treated as corporate actions with offsetting price and divisor adjustments; the Index reflects both ordinary and special dividends.

5 Source: Bloomberg, as of July 30, 2010.

6 The “participation” of the Securities is intended to approximate the ratio of (1) the value of the notional exposure per Security to the performance of the underlying Index relative to (2) the value of each Security. The participation value serves to approximate the variable multiple of returns in the Index performance that will be reflected in the value of the Securities on any given day. The participation value will be published solely for informational purposes. It is not intended to serve as a basis for determining a price or quotation for your Securities, or as a basis for an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption or termination of your Securities.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

An investment in Barclays ETN+ notes involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks see “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement.

Factors that may affect notes linked to ETN+ Notes

Unpredictable factors may affect notes linked to ETN+ notes (the “Securities”), including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic, and banking crises. Market expectations about these events and speculative activity also cause prices to fluctuate. These factors may adversely affect the performance of the Securities or its reference asset.

The Securities are not secured and are riskier than ordinary debt securities

The Securities are unsecured obligations of Barclays Bank PLC and are not secured debt. Risks of investing in the Securities may include limited portfolio diversification, trade price fluctuations, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to direct investment in the reference asset. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption. An investment in the Securities may not be suitable for all investors.

The principal invested may be fully exposed to any change in the reference index if the Securities are not 100% principal protected. The investor should be willing to hold the Securities until maturity. If the investor sells the Security before maturity, the investor may have to do so at a substantial discount from the issue price, and as a result, the investor may suffer substantial losses. The price, if any, at which the investor will be able to sell the Security prior to maturity may be substantially less than the amount originally invested in the Securities, depending upon the level, value or price of the reference asset at the time of the sale.

Markets may become disrupted

Local market disruptions can have a global effect. Market disruption can adversely affect the performance of a reference asset linked to the Securities.

Secondary market

Although the Securities will be listed on a national securities exchange there may not be a secondary market for the Securities. If a secondary market exists, prices in that market may be lower than the issue price or purchase price of the Securities.

Credit risk

A decline in Barclays’ creditworthiness will reduce the market value of the Securities. If Barclays becomes insolvent it will not be able to meet its payment obligations under the Securities.

Credit ratings

A rating is not a recommendation as to Barclays’ creditworthiness or the risks, returns or suitability of the Securities. Credit ratings may be lowered or withdrawn without notice.

Volatility

The level of change in value of the Securities is its “volatility”. The Securities’ volatility may be affected by performance of the applicable reference index, along with financial, political and economic events and other market conditions.

Complexity
