Lehman adjusts maturity on planned principal-protected notes linked to currency basket

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Aug. 6 ? Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. tweaked the maturity date on its previously announced zero-coupon principal-protected notes due March 4, 2009 linked to equal weights of the Brazilian real, Malaysian ringgit, Indonesian rupiah and Philippine peso, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes were initially announced Monday with a maturity date of March 5, 2009.

The notes are expected to price Aug. 28 and settle Aug. 31.

If the basket currencies appreciate relative to the dollar, the payout at maturity will be par plus a fixed return that is expected to be 12.6% and will be determined at pricing. If the basket currencies remain flat or depreciate relative to the dollar, the payout will be par.

Lehman Brothers Inc. will be the underwriter.
