$4,249,000 Barclays Bank PLC Return Optimization Securities

with Contingent Protection

Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 31, 2012

 

Investment Description

Return Optimization Securities with Contingent Protection (the “Securities”) are unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC (the “Issuer”) with returns linked to the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”). The Securities are designed to enhance index returns in a moderate-return environment—meaning an environment in which the component stocks of the Index generally experience moderate appreciation. If the Index Return is positive, at maturity you will receive your principal plus 1.5 times the Index Return, up to the Maximum Gain of 28.50% providing you with an opportunity to outperform the Index. If the Index Return is between 0 and -20% (inclusive), at maturity you will receive your principal. If the Index Return is below -20%, at maturity you will lose 1% (or a fraction thereof) of your principal for every 1% (or a fraction thereof) that the Index Return is below 0%.

Accordingly, if the Index declines by more than 20% over the term of your Securities, closing below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you may lose up to 100% of your principal. The contingent protection feature applies only if the Securities are held to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any contingent protection feature, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party.

 

Features

 

  q  

Core Investment Opportunity: At maturity, the Securities enhance any positive returns of the Index up to the Maximum Gain while providing a contingent initial cushion from declines in the Index up to the Trigger Level. In moderate-return environments, this strategy provides an opportunity to outperform investments that track the performance of the Index.

 

  q  

Contingent Protection of Principal: At maturity, you may be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to your principal, under the certain limited circumstances described in this pricing supplement, even if the Index declines over the term of the Securities. Contingent protection only applies if the Securities are held to maturity and is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC.

Investor Suitability

 

The Securities may be suitable for you if:

 

  ¨  

You seek an investment with an enhanced return linked to the potential positive performance of the Index, and you believe the Index will increase moderately over the term of the Securities—meaning that such an increase is unlikely to exceed the Maximum Gain at maturity.

 

  ¨  

You are willing and able to lose up to 100% of your principal amount if the Index declines by more than 20% over the term of the Securities, closing below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date.

 

  ¨  

You are willing to forgo dividends paid on the stocks included in the Index.

 

  ¨  

You do not seek current income from this investment.

  ¨  

You do not believe the Index will increase over the term of the Securities, or you believe the Index will increase by more than the Maximum Gain at maturity.

 

  ¨  

You are unwilling to make an investment that is fully exposed to the downside performance risk of the Index if the Index declines by more than 20% over the term of the Securities, closing below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date.

 

  ¨  

You seek an investment that is exposed to the full potential appreciation of the Index, without the cap of the Maximum Gain.

 

  ¨  

You prefer to receive the dividends paid on any stocks included in the Index.

 

  ¨  

You seek current income from this investment.

The suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive.

You should also review carefully the ‘Key Risks’ beginning on page PS-5 of this pricing supplement for risks related to an investment in the Securities.

As such, you could lose up to 100% of your initial investment depending on how much the Index declines over the term of the Securities.

The Index Return excludes any cash dividend payments.

Example 1On the Final Valuation Date, the Index closes 10% above the Index Starting Level, resulting in an Index Return of 10.00%. Because the Index Return of 10.00% multiplied by 1.5 does not exceed the Maximum Gain of 28.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $11.50 per $10.00 principal amount Security, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 x 1.5 x 10.00%) = $10.00 + $1.50 = $11.50

Example 2On the Final Valuation Date, the Index closes 50% above the Index Starting Level, resulting in an Index Return of 50%. Because 1.5 multiplied by the Index Return of 50% is greater than the Maximum Gain of 28.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $12.85 per $10.00 principal amount per Security, the maximum payment at maturity.

Example 3On the Final Valuation Date, the Index closes 10% below the Index Starting Level, resulting in an Index Return of -10%. Because the Index Return is greater than -20%, with the Index closing above the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount per Security.

Example 4On the Final Valuation Date, the Index closes 40% below the Index Starting Level, resulting in an Index Return of -40%. Because the Index Return is less than -20%, with the Index closing below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, the investor is fully exposed to declines in the Index and receives a payment at maturity of $6.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 x -40%) = $6.00

Accordingly, if the Index closes below the Trigger Level on the Final Valuation Date, you may lose up to 100% of your initial investment.

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.

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 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 should 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 pricing supplement 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 pricing supplement.

Recently Enacted Legislation. Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will generally be 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 Index. 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.

 

  ¨  

At maturity you risk losing some or all of your principalIf the Index closes below the Trigger Level, resulting in an Index Return of less than -20%, you will lose 1% (or a fraction thereof) of your principal for each 1% (or a fraction thereof) that the Index Return is less than 0%. Accordingly, if the level of the Index has declined by more than 20% over the term of the Securities, you risk losing 100% of your principal.

 

  ¨  

Contingent Protection only if you hold the Securities to maturityYou will be entitled to receive at least the principal amount of your Securities under the certain limited circumstances described in this pricing supplement 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 sell your Securities in the secondary market prior to maturity, you will not receive principal protection on the portion of your Securities sold. You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity.

 

  ¨  

Your Maximum Return on the Securities Is Limited to the Maximum GainIf the Index Ending Level is greater than the Index Starting Level, for each $10 principal amount of Securities you will receive at maturity $10 plus an additional amount that will not exceed a predetermined percentage of the principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the Index, which may be significant. We refer to this percentage as the Maximum Gain, which is 28.50%.

 

  ¨  

The Index Reflects Price Return, Not Total ReturnThe return on your Securities is based on the performance of the Index, which reflects the changes in the market prices of the component stocks underlying the Index. It is not, however, linked to a ‘total return’ index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the component stocks. The return on your Securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.

 

  ¨  

Owning the Securities is Not the Same as Owning the Stocks Comprising the IndexThe return on your securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the Index. 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 stocks included in the Index would have.

 

  ¨  

Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities Prior to MaturityWhile the payment at maturity for the offered Securities described in this pricing supplement 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

 

PS-5


 

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 IncentivesWe, 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 $0.20 per Security to the principals, agents and dealers in connection with the distribution of the Securities.

 

  ¨  

Limited LiquidityThe 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.

 

  ¨  

Credit of IssuerThe 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 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 ConflictsWe 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.

 

  ¨  

TaxesThe 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 affiliatesBarclays, 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.

 

  ¨  

Potential Barclays Bank PLC impact on priceTrading or transactions by Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates in the stocks comprising 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.

 

  ¨  

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Affect the Value of the SecuritiesIn 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 and in the markets of the component stocks underlying the Index;

 

  ¨  

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.
