CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
We intend to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments, as described under “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Variable Rate Debt Instruments” in the Prospectus Supplement. In addition, pursuant to the rules governing variable rate debt instruments, the Notes will be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”).

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. and the other agents set forth below (collectively, the “Agents”), Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has agreed to sell to the Agents, and each of the Agents has agreed severally to purchase, the principal amounts of Notes set forth opposite its name below:
| | Principal Amount | |
Agents | | | of the Notes | |
Lehman Brothers Inc. | | $294,000,000 | |
DZ Financial Markets LLC | | 3,000,000 | |
Harris Nesbitt Corp. | | 3,000,000 | |
Total | | $300,000,000 | |
| | | | |
Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Agents are committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken. The Agents propose to offer the Notes initially at a public offering price equal to the Issue Price set forth above and may offer the Notes to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.075% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Agents may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of 0.0375% of the principal amount of the notes on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Agents.
Certain of the Agents and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, investment banking and/or general financing and/or banking services to Lehman Brothers Holdings and its affiliates, for which they have in the past received, and may in the future receive, customary fees.
Certain of the Agents may not be U.S. registered broker-dealers and accordingly will not effect any sales within the United States except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the rules of the FINRA.
If the Notes are sold in a market-making transaction after their initial sale, information about the purchase price and the date of the sale will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
