New Issue: Lehman prices $4.39 million semiannual review notes linked to Financial Select SPDR

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, April 16 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced $4.39 million of 0% buffered semiannual review notes due April 20, 2009 linked to the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at increasing premiums if the fund level is at or above the call price - 95% of the initial price - on either of two semiannual review dates.

The redemption amount will be par plus 12.2% if the notes are called on the first review date, set for Oct. 14, 2008, and 24.4% if called on the second and final review date, set for April 15, 2009.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless the fund falls by more than 15%, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond 15%.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the underwriter.
