EKF 11% Enhanced Yield Securities Linked TO The Claymore Yieldstream 20

Claymore Securities, Inc. announced that a $47 million public offering of 11.0% Enhanced Yield Securities linked to the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20 Series 2007-A closed yesterday. The Enhanced Yield Securities are securities that were issued by Eksportfinans ASA and underwritten by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC. The securities will mature on April 30, 2008 and trade on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol EKF. The Claymore YieldStreamSM 20 Series 2007-A represents twenty common stocks in six industry sectors. The constituent stocks of the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20 were selected by Claymore with the objective of creating a moderately diversified basket of twenty stocks that is designed to produce an attractive yield in a structure that provides income in exchange for potential downside exposure to the price performance of the constituent stocks of the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20. Investors in the securities will receive interest paid monthly at a rate of 11% per annum on the initial per-share principal amount of $20. Unlike a traditional debt security, the return of principal of the securities is dependent on the performance of the common stocks in the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20. Each $1 of the $20 principal amount of the securities is exposed to the downside performance of a common stock in the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20, but only if that stock drops by 25% or more during the term of the securities. Investors in the securities will not participate in any upside performance of the stocks in the Claymore YieldStreamSM 20. Claymore CEO David Hooten said, "We're excited about the market's reception of our first structured product, designed in partnership with Wachovia and Eksportfinans." Richard Silva, the co-head of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC equity structured products group in New York, said, �For the first time, investors seeking higher yields in the equity-linked securities market have access to an independently selected, diversified portfolio designed specifically for the structured product market.
