Lehman Brothers Inc. has agreed to purchase $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. at 100% of the principal amount minus a commission equal to $35.00 per $1,000 principal amount, or 3.50%.

Lehman Brothers Inc. may also use all or a portion of its commissions on the Notes to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers.

The Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and will form a single tranche with the $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes, Series I, due March 25, 2038 that Lehman Brothers Holdings will issue on March 25, 2008. The Notes will have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the other Notes of this tranche and will settle on the same date as, and trade interchangeably with, the other Notes of this tranche. The issuance of the Notes will increase the aggregate principal amount of this tranche to $3,000,000.
On the Issue Date, we may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, issue additional notes similar to these Notes in all respects except for the Issue Price.

All such additional notes will be consolidated and form a single tranche with, have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as and trade interchangeably with these Notes.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes entails certain risks. See “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus Supplement.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to sell to Lehman Brothers Inc. (the “Agent”), and the Agent has agreed to purchase from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. the principal amount of the Notes at the price specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent is committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.
The Agent proposes to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of each sale. The Agent may also use all or a portion of its commissions on the Notes to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers not to exceed 3.50%.
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor more than three business days following the date of this pricing supplement. Trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the securities on any day prior to the third business day before the settlement date will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement.
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.
