By Toni Weeks

San Diego, July 19 - Barclays Bank plc priced $3.5 million of 10.35% single observation callable reverse convertible notes due July 20, 2012 linked to the common stock of Valero Energy Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be called at par if Valero stock closes at or above the initial share price on Oct. 20, Jan. 20, 2012 or April 20, 2012.
