New Issue: Wachovia sells $1.5 million 9% enhanced yield securities linked to commodities indexes

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 2 - Wachovia Corp. priced a $1.5 million offering of 9% enhanced yield securities due Oct. 5, 2008 linked to a basket of commodity indexes, according to a 424B5 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights (20%) of the S&P GSCI Brent Crude Oil Excess Return index, the S&P GSCI RBOB Gasoline Excess Return index, the S&P GSCI Wheat Excess Return index, the S&P GSCI Nickel Excess Return index and the S&P GSCI Lead Excess Return index.

For each basket index, the payout will be $2.00 unless that index falls by 30% or more during the life of the securities and finishes below the initial level, in which case the payout will be $2.00 minus the index decline.

The payout at maturity will be the sum of the payouts for each basket index.
