Des Moines, Nov. 26 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced a $5.34 million issue of 0% performance securities with partial protection due May 26, 2011 linked to an index basket, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index with a 35% weight, the Russell 2000 index with a 20% weight, the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 15% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 10% weight, the Nikkei 225 index with a 10% weight, the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 5% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 2.5% weight and the S&P/ASX 200 index with a 2.5% weight.
