By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Jan. 11 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. plans to price an issue of zero-coupon principal-protected notes with enhanced participation due Feb. 12, 2010 linked to the performance of a basket of Latin American currencies against the dollar, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights (25%) of the Brazilian real, Argentine peso, Mexican peso and Chilean peso, all versus the dollar.

The payout at maturity will be par plus at least 265% of any gain on the basket. The exact participation rate will be determined at pricing. Investors will receive a minimum of par.

The notes are expected to price Feb. 8 and settle Feb. 14.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the underwriter.
