By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, June 20 - Goldman, Sachs & Co. priced a $972,000 add-on to an issue of zero-coupon 98% principal-protected notes due June 22, 2008 linked to a Lira basket for issuer AB Svensk Exportkredit, increasing the total deal size to $25.978 million from $25.006 million.

The notes in the add-on were priced at 102.15, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights of the Turkish lira against the dollar and the Turkish lira against the euro.
