New Issue: Lehman prices $3 million FX digital plus notes linked to currency basket

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, June 22 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced a $3 million issue of 100% principal-protected foreign exchange digital plus notes due June 30, 2008 linked to a basket of four currencies, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of equal (25%) long positions in the Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Mexican peso and Turkish lira versus a short position in the dollar.

If the basket value has increased by up to 5.75% on the valuation date, payout at maturity will be par plus 11.50%. If the basket return has increased by 5.75% or more, the payout will be the appreciation of the basket multiplied by the leverage amount, which is 200%. If the basket value is zero or less, investors will receive par.

There will be no interest payments.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the underwriter.
