By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Feb. 19 - AB Svensk Exportkredit priced an additional $2.05 million of 0% enhanced outperformance notes due June 26, 2009 linked to a long index and a short stock basket via underwriter Goldman, Sachs & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The add-on, priced at 99.75, brings the total offering to $12.4 million. The notes initially priced on Feb. 11 at a size of $10.35 million at a price of 99.97.

The long index is the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector index. The basket consists of 56 common stocks from the S&P Consumer Discretionary Select Sector index.

Otherwise, the payout will be par minus the percentage by which the short basket performance exceeds that of the long index.
