By Jennifer Chiou

New York, March 12 - AB Svensk Exportkredit plans to price 0% Accelerated Return Bear Market Notes due May 2010 linked to the S&P 500 index via underwriters Merrill Lynch & Co. and First Republic Securities Co., LLC, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 5% for every 1% index decline, subject to a maximum return that is expected to be 11% to 15% and will be set at pricing. Investors will receive par if the index increases by 10% or less and will lose 1% for every 1% that the index advances beyond 10%.

The notes will price in March and settle in April.

The issuer said it may apply to list the notes on NYSE Arca under the symbol "SMU."
