Barclays Bank PLC will transfer its iPath CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index ETN to the NYSE Arca listing and trading platform on or around October 31. No action is needed by current investors.

Due to the announced merger of the American Stock Exchange and NYSE Euronext, all Amex-listed ETNs and ETFs are expected to be transferred to NYSE Arca by the end of October 2008. NYSE Euronext believes that offering a single platform for listing and trading ETFs and ETNs will further improve efficiencies and market quality.
