New Issue: Lehman prices $5 million range notes for Eksportfinans

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Jan. 18 - Eksportfinans ASA priced $5 million of range notes due Feb. 12, 2013 linked to the six-month Libor via underwriter Lehman Brothers Inc., according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For each quarter, interest will accrue at 6% times the proportion of days that the accrual condition is satisfied.

The accrual conditional will be satisfied if the Libor is no more than 2% or if the rolling Sifma/Libor ratio is no more than 74%. The Sifma/Libor ratio will be the average of the weekly Sifma rates for the previous year divided by the average of the weekly Libor for the same period.

The notes are callable at par plus accrued interest on any interest payment date beginning on Aug. 12, 2008.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus accrued interest, if any.
