By Angela McDaniels

Seattle, Sept. 25 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced $1.17 million of zero-coupon buffered return enhanced notes due March 28, 2011 linked to a basket of 10 commodities and two commodity indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes light sweet crude oil with a 15% weight; Henry Hub natural gas with a 10% weight; high-grade primary aluminum and copper - grade A, each with a 7% weight; primary nickel with a 6% weight; RBOB gasoline, No. 2 fuel heating oil, special high-grade zinc, standard lead and gold, each with a 5% weight; the S&P GSCI Agriculture Index Excess Return with a 20% weight; and the S&P GSCI Livestock Index Excess Return with a 10% weight.

If the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 172% of the basket gain. Investors will receive par if the basket declines by 20% or less and will lose 1% for each 1% decline beyond 20%.
