By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 31 - AB Svensk Exportkredit priced an additional $7.5 million of 0% Elements due Oct. 24, 2022 linked to the Rogers International Commodity Index - Metals Total Return via Nuveen Investments and Merrill Lynch & Co., according to a 424B3 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes priced at 64.277 and bring the issue size to $37.5 million. Originally, Svensk priced $4 million of notes at par on Oct. 17, 2007 and said it will price up to $250 million of the notes.

The index represents the value of a basket of 10 metals commodity futures contracts and is a sub-index of the Rogers International Commodity Index - Total Return, which is a composite, dollar-based, total return index representing the value of a basket of commodities consumed in the global economy.

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

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 "RJZ."
