New Issue: Nuveen, Merrill upsize Elements linked to Spectrum Large Cap to $10.36 million for Svensk

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 5 - AB Svensk Exportkredit priced an additional $200,000 of 0% Elements due Aug. 8, 2022 linked to the Spectrum Large Cap U.S. Sector Momentum index via underwriters Nuveen Investments and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., according to a 424B3 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes priced at 80 and bring the issue size to $10.36 million. The company said in August 2007 that it will issue up to $250 million of the notes.

The index was developed by BNP Paribas and tracks the value of a notional portfolio composed of 10 sub-indexes of the S&P 500. The weights may be rebalanced daily according to a momentum strategy that increases the allocation to those that outperform the S&P 500 Total Return index and cuts those that underperform. The weights are then modified to account for the correlation between the sub-indexes and the S&P 500 Total Return index.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the index return, less an annual investor fee of 0.75%.

Holders may put back the notes for repurchase on weekly repurchase dates. There is a minimum put requirement of $5 million of securities.

The notes are listed on the NYSE Arca under the symbol "EEH."
