Chicago, Sept. 5 - Eksportfinans ASA priced a $26.7 million issue of 13.5% auto redeemable enhanced yield securities due Sept. 15, 2008 linked to Apple Inc. common stock, according to a 424B5 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called for par plus accrued interest if the closing price of Apple stock exceeds the initial share price on any trading day beginning March 1, 2008 up to and including the valuation date of Sept. 8, 2008.
