By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 27 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced $8 million of 0% performance securities with partial protection due Dec. 31, 2010 linked to a basket of five indexes and one exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 and Nikkei 225 indexes, each with a 25% weight; the S&P 500 index with a 20% weight; and the Hang Seng China Enterprises index, MSCI Emerging Markets index and iShares MSCI Brazil index fund, each with a 10% weight.

If the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the basket gain. Investors will receive par if the basket declines by 24.2% or less and will lose 1% for each 1% that the basket declines beyond 24.2%.
