Lehman plans to price principal protection notes linked to Asian currencies

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 22 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. plans to price zero-coupon 100% principal protection notes due May 21, 2012 linked to a basket of two currencies, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket contains equal weights of the Indian rupee and the Chinese renminbi.

The payout at maturity will be par plus at least 125% of any appreciation in the basket relative to the dollar. The exact participation rate will be set at pricing.

If the basket remains flat or falls against the dollar, the payout will be par.

The notes are expected to price May 15 and settle May 21.

Lehman Brothers Inc. is the underwriter.
