| (1) | The price to public includes Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s cost of hedging its obligations under the notes through one or more of its affiliates, which includes such affiliates expected cost of providing such hedge as well as the profit the such affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. |
| (2) | Lehman Brothers Inc. will receive commissions equal to $3.00 per $1,000 principal amount, or 0.30%, and may use all or a portion of these commissions to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers. Lehman Brothers Inc. and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to any hedges. |
Risk Factors:
An investment in the notes entails certain risks not associated with an investment in conventional floating rate or fixed rate medium-term notes. See “Risk Factors” in the Series I MTN prospectus supplement.
United States Federal Income Tax Treatment:
Because the issue price of the notes is less than the Redemption Price at Maturity by more than a statutorily defined “de minimis” amount, the notes will be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”). For a discussion of the tax consequences of owning securities issued with OID, see “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Debt Securities-Original Issue Discount” in the Prospectus dated May 30, 2006.
