New Issue: Lehman prices $16.6 million bearish securities linked to S&P Consumer Discretionary via UBS
By Jennifer Chiou
New York, Jan. 31 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced a $16.6 million issue of bearish autocallable optimization securities with contingent protection due July 31, 2009 linked to the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
UBS Financial Services Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. are the underwriters.
The notes will be called automatically if the index shows a negative return on any of the quarterly observation dates between April 2008 and July 2009. If the notes are called, the redemption amount will be par of $10 plus an annualized return of 28.85%.
If, during the life of the notes, the index has ever closed above the trigger level - 130% of its initial level - the payout at maturity will be par minus 1% for each 1%, if any, that the final index level is above the initial index level. Otherwise, the payout will be par.
