Chicago, April 28 - Eksportfinans ASA plans to price 0% autocallable access securities with fixed percentage buffered downside due May 31, 2013 linked to SPDR S&P Metals and Mining fund, according to a 424B5 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is the agent.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus a call premium if the fund closes at or above the initial level on any of three call dates.

The call premium will be 9% to 11% if the notes are called on May 31, 2012, 13.5% to 16.5% if called on Nov. 30, 2012 and 18% to 22% if called on May 23, 2013. The exact call premiums will be set at pricing.

The payout at maturity will be par if the shares fall by up to 10%. Investors will be exposed to any fund decline beyond 10%.

The notes are expected to price and settle in May.
