New Issue: Lehman Brothers sells $10 million of pyramid notes linked to copper, euro

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Sept. 28 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced a $10 million issue of 0% pyramid notes due Jan.7, 2008 linked to the spot prices of grade A copper and the euro, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final prices for copper and the euro are greater than the upper boundaries, the discount factor for each asset will be the percentage by which the final price exceeds the upper boundary. If the final prices for copper and the euro are lower than the lower boundaries, the discount factor for each asset will be the percentage by which the final price is below the lower boundary. If the final price is between the two boundaries, the discount factor will be zero.

At maturity, the payout will be par times 102.41% minus the discount factors for copper and the euro. Investors will lose part of their investment if the discount factor is greater than 2.41%.

The copper upper and lower boundaries are $9,774.00 and $6,516.00, respectively. The euro upper and lower boundaries are $1.475 and $1.335, respectively.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the agent.
