Barclays Bank PLC announced today that following the close of business
on Friday, April 12, 2013, there will be no changes to the constituents
in the Atlantic Trust Select MLP Index (the “Index”).
Barclays
ETN+ Select MLP Exchange Traded Note (“ETN”) is linked to the
performance of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Index.
The ETN was listed on the NYSE Arca stock exchange in March 2013 under
the ticker symbol ATMP.
In accordance with the Index methodology as described in the prospectus
relating to the ETN, the Index is rebalanced quarterly. The 23
constituents of the Index will be rebalanced on a capped,
float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted basis across four index business
days starting on Friday, April 12, 2013. Constituent additions to and
deletions from the Index do not reflect an opinion by Barclays Bank PLC
on the investment merits of the respective securities.
The target weights for the top Limited Partnership (“LP”) and General
Partnership (“GP”) Index constituents, effective on April 12, 2013, are
reported in the table below. For more information regarding how an Index
constituent is classified as a LP or a GP, please see the prospectus
relating to the ETN.

The Atlantic Trust Select MLP Index is designed to provide exposure to a
basket of midstream US and Canadian master limited partnerships, limited
liability companies and corporations (collectively, the “Index
Constituents”) that trade on major US exchanges, are classified in the
GICS® Energy Sector or GICS® Gas Utilities
Industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard®
(“GICS”) and meet certain eligibility criteria. The Index Constituents
are selected for inclusion in the Index using the Atlantic Trust Select
Master Limited Partnership Strategy (the “Strategy”) developed by Stein
Roe Investment Counsel Inc. (the “Index Selection Agent”), an affiliated
registered investment advisor of Atlantic Trust. The Strategy
dynamically selects a basket of up to 100 Index Constituents based on
certain eligibility criteria including their long-term credit rating,
the portion of their earnings originating from mid-stream operations and
their size as measured by free-float market capitalization and average
daily trading value. The Index Selection Agent provides the Index
Constituents selected by the Strategy to Barclays Bank PLC (the “Index
Sponsor”).

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in any ETNs linked to the Atlantic Trust Select MLP Index
(the “ETNs”) involves risks. Selected risks are summarized here, but we
urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described under
“Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing
supplement.
You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: The ETNs are exposed
to any decrease in the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) level
between the inception date and the applicable valuation date.
Additionally, if the VWAP level is insufficient to offset the negative
effect of the investor fee and other applicable costs, you will lose
some or all of your investment at maturity or upon redemption, even if
the VWAP value has increased. Because the ETNs are subject to an
investor fee and any other applicable costs, the return on the ETNs will
always be lower than the total return on a direct investment in the
index components. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection.
Credit of Barclays Bank PLC: The ETNs are unsecured debt
obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either
directly or indirectly, an obligation of or guaranteed by any third
party. Any payment to be made on the ETNs, including any payment at
maturity or upon redemption, 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 will affect the market
value, if any, of the ETNs prior to maturity or redemption. In addition,
in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you
may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the ETNs.
Issuer Redemption: Barclays Bank PLC will have the right to
redeem or “call” the ETNs (in whole but not in part) at its sole
discretion and without your consent on any trading day on or after the
inception date until and including maturity.
The Payment on the ETNs is Linked to the VWAP Level, Not to the
Closing Level of the Index and Not to the Published Intraday Indicative
Value of the ETNs: Your payment at maturity or upon early redemption
is linked to the performance of the VWAP level, as compared to the
initial VWAP level. Although the VWAP level is intended to track the
performance of the Index, the calculation of the VWAP level is different
from the calculation of the official closing level of the Index.
Therefore, the payment at maturity or early redemption of your ETNs, may
be different from the payment you would receive if such payment were
determined by reference to the official closing level of the Index.
No Guaranteed Coupon Payments: You are not guaranteed to receive
coupon payments on the ETNs. You will receive a coupon payment on a
coupon payment date only to the extent that the accrued dividend exceeds
the accrued investor fee on the relevant coupon valuation date. The
amount of the accrued dividend on any coupon valuation date depends in
part on the aggregate cash value of distributions that a reference
holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the index
constituents prior to the relevant coupon valuation date.
Market and Volatility Risk: The return on the ETNs is linked to
the performance of the VWAP level of the Index which, in turn, is linked
to the performance of the master limited partnerships and other
securities that are included as index constituents at any time. The
prices of the index constituents may change unpredictably and, as a
result, affect the level of the Index and the value of your ETNs in
unforeseeable ways.
Concentration Risk: The index constituents are companies in the
Energy Sector or Gas Utilities Sector, as determined by the GICS®
classification system. In addition, many of the index constituents are
smaller, non-diversified businesses that are exposed to the risks
associated with such businesses, including the lack of capital funding
to sustain or grow businesses and potential competition from larger,
better financed and more diversified businesses. The ETNs are
susceptible to general market fluctuations in the energy and gas MLP
market and to volatile increases and decreases in value, as market
confidence in, and perceptions regarding the index constituents change.
Your investment may therefore carry risks similar to a concentrated
securities investment in one industry or sector.
A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop: Although we plan
to apply to list the ETNs on NYSE Arca, a trading market for the ETNs
may not develop and the liquidity of the ETNs may be limited, as we are
not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs.
Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date Restrictions for
Redemptions: You must redeem at least 50,000 ETNs at one time in
order to exercise your right to redeem your ETNs on any redemption date.
You may only redeem your ETNs on a redemption date if we receive a
notice of redemption from you by certain dates and times as set forth in
the pricing supplement.
Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the
ETNs may be less favorable than a direct investment in MLPs and are
uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax
situation.

prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication
