BARCLAYS BANK PLC

SEK 18,380,000 Equity Linked Notes due January 2015

Series GSN28731

under the Global Structured Securities Programme

Issue Price: 110 per cent. of par

This document constitutes the final terms of the Notes (the "Final Terms") described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Directive 2003/71/EC and is prepared in connection with the Global Structured Securities Programme established by Barclays Bank PLC (the "Bank") and Barclays Capital (Cayman) Limited ("BCCL") and is supplemental to and should be read in conjunction with the Base Prospectus dated 6 August 2010, as supplemented and amended from time to time, which constitutes a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") for the purpose of the Directive 2003/71/EC. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Securities is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus. The Base Prospectus is available for viewing during normal business hours at the registered office of the Issuer and the specified office of the Issue and Paying Agent for the time being in London and copies may be obtained from such office. Words and expressions defined in the Base Prospectus and not defined in this document shall bear the same meanings when used herein.

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in these Final Terms. To the best of its knowledge and belief (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in these Final Terms is in accordance with the facts and does not contain anything likely to affect the import of such information.

Investors should refer to the sections headed "Risk Factors" in the Base Prospectus for a discussion of certain matters that should be considered when making a decision to invest in the Securities.

Barclays Capital

Final Terms dated 5 January 2011

The distribution of this document and the offer of the Securities in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession these Final Terms come are required by the Bank to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. Details of selling restrictions for various jurisdictions are set out in "Purchase and Sale" in the Base Prospectus. In particular, the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are subject to US tax law requirements. Trading in the Securities has not been approved by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the US Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended. Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities may not at any time be offered, sold or delivered in the United States or to US persons, nor may any US persons at any time trade or maintain a position in such Securities.

Risk on Principal Protection

The Notes are only principal-protected when held to their scheduled maturity. In the event that Notes are sold prior to maturity or are redeemed by the Issuer prior to maturity, Securityholders may receive less than the denomination of the Notes.

Neither the premium payable above par nor the brokerage fees payable in connection with the purchase of the Notes is protected. Consequently, if the Notes are held to maturity and the Final Cash Settlement Amount is the principal-protected amount, the Securityholder will have incurred a loss on the Notes.
