New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3.76 million 17% RevCons linked to CME Group for Eksportfinans

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 22 - Eksportfinans ASA priced $3.76 million of 17% reverse convertible notes due Nov. 27, 2009 linked to the common stock of CME Group Inc., according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.

Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless CME stock ever dips to or below its knock-in level - 75% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and the final share price is less than the initial share price, in which case investors will receive a number of CME shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at Eksportfinans' option, an equivalent cash amount.
