By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 28 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced $2.02 million of 100% principal-protected leveraged foreign exchange basket-linked notes due Nov. 30, 2009 linked to a BRIC leveraged appreciation basket, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of equal 25% positive weighting long positions in the Brazilian real, Russian ruble, Indian rupee and Chinese renminbi versus a 100% negative weighting short position in the dollar.

There will be no interest payments.
