Lehman Notes are senior debt securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. These securities are designed to make investing in corporate bonds a simpler process for individual investors and their financial advisors. Lehman Brothers Inc. and Incapital LLC are the joint lead agents for these securities.
Denominations
Lehman Notes are available for a minimum investment of $1,000 and any whole multiple of $1,000. They will be offered with various maturities (generally three months or more), fixed interest rates and interest payment schedules.
Offering Period
New offerings are typically set each Friday, and in most cases these offerings are available until the following Thursday. The price, maturity and interest rate remain constant throughout the offering period.
Survivor’s Option
A survivor’s option is generally included in Lehman Notes. This feature allows the investor’s estate, upon the death of the investor, to require Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to repay the notes prior to stated maturity, so long as the notes were acquired by the deceased investor at least six months prior to the request. Regardless of the series or tranche of notes, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has the option to limit (1) the permitted dollar amount of total survivor’s option exercises by all investors in any calendar year, and (2) the permitted dollar amount of an individual exercise by an investor in any calendar year.
Callable Feature
Certain Lehman Notes may be redeemable at the option of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or repayable at the option of the investor prior to stated maturity.
Settlement
Lehman Notes will be issued only in book-entry form as a global security registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, as depositary (“DTC”). The notes will settle, and payments of principal and interest will be made, only through DTC. Financial representatives will record note ownership in book-entry form.
The foregoing is a summary of certain terms of the Lehman Notes that are described in more detail in the prospectus. Final terms of any particular Lehman Notes will be determined at the time of sale and will be contained in the pricing supplement relating to those Lehman Notes. The terms in that pricing supplement may vary from and supersede the terms contained in the prospectus and as summarized above. Before you decide to purchase any Lehman Notes, you should read the more detailed information appearing in the prospectus, including the Risk Factors, together with the pricing supplement. Click here to view and print a copy of the Lehman Notes prospectus. You may also obtain the prospectus and final pricing supplement (when completed) by calling Incapital LLC at 1-800-289-6689 or Lehman Brothers Inc. at 1-800-392-5000.

>>Overview >>Prospectus >>About the Issuer >>Risk Factors >>Agents >>Contacts
The following list of risk factors is only a summary; you should read the more detailed information appearing or incorporated by reference in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement.
Limited Trading Market
You may not be able to sell your Lehman Notes because a trading market may not develop or be maintained. You should assume that you will be holding the Lehman Notes until their maturity. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. does not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange. The notes will not have an established trading market when issued. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. cannot assure you that a trading market will ever develop or be maintained. If liquidity is important to you, you should consider this before buying the notes.
In addition to the credit ratings, financial condition and results of operations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., many other factors may affect the market value of, and trading market for, your notes. These factors include:
· the time remaining to the maturity of your notes,
· the outstanding amount of your notes and other debt securities with the same terms,
· any redemption or repayment features of your notes,
· the supply of notes trading in the secondary market, if any,
· the absence of an exchange listing for the notes,
· market rates of interest higher or lower than rates borne by your notes, and
· the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
These factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. In addition, securities that are designed for specific investment objectives or strategies often experience a more limited trading market and more price volatility. There may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell your notes. The agents may make a market in the notes, but the agents are not obligated to do so and they may discontinue market-making activities at any time without notice, at their sole discretion. A lack of buyers will negatively affect the price you may receive for your notes if you decide you want to sell your notes prior to maturity. You may have no ability to sell your notes at all at certain times. In such a case, you will have to retain your notes. You should not purchase notes unless you understand and know you can bear all of the investment risks related to your notes.
Early Redemption Risk
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may choose to redeem the Lehman Notes when prevailing interest rates are relatively low. If your Lehman Notes are redeemable at the option of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., this means that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has the right, without your consent, to redeem or “call” all or a portion of your notes at any time, or at a specific point in time, as specified in the relevant pricing supplement. This does not mean that you have a similar right to require Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to repay your notes. Where such redemption right exists, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may choose to redeem your notes when prevailing interest rates are lower than the rate then borne by your notes. In that case you would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the notes being redeemed. Any such redemption right of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. also may adversely impact your ability to sell your notes, and/or the price at which you could sell your notes, as the redemption date approaches. You should consult with a competent professional on related consequences of purchasing redeemable notes before purchasing them.
Any Survivor’s Option May Be Limited in Amount
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. will have a discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Lehman Notes, without regard to series or tranches, subject to any survivor’s option that may be exercised in any calendar year:
· For any Lehman Notes issued prior to August 2, 2007 (the ‘‘prior Lehman Notes’’), to an amount equal to the greater of $2,000,000 or 2.0% of the aggregate amount of all prior Lehman Notes, without regard to series or tranches; and
· For any notes issued on or after August 2, 2007, to an amount equal to the greater of $1,000,000 or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all such notes, without regard to series or tranches, outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year.
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. also has the discretionary right to limit to $250,000 in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of prior Lehman Notes or $125,000 in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of notes issued on or after August 2, 2007, without regard to series or tranches, subject to the survivor’s option that may be exercised in such calendar year on behalf of any individual deceased beneficial owner of prior Lehman Notes or notes, as the case may be. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that exercise of the survivor’s option for a desired amount will be permitted in any single calendar year.
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Holding Company
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a holding company and you can only depend on its earnings and assets, and not those of its subsidiaries for payment of principal and interest on the notes. The notes will be solely Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s obligations, and no other entity will have any obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make any payments in respect of the notes. Because Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a holding company whose
primary assets consist of shares of stock or other equity interests in or amounts due from subsidiaries, almost all of its income is derived from those subsidiaries. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s subsidiaries will have no obligation to pay any amount in respect of the notes or to make any funds available therefor. Accordingly, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. will be dependent on dividends and other distributions or loans from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet obligations with respect the notes, including the payment of principal and interest. Due to covenants contained in certain of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s debt agreements and regulations relating to capital requirements affecting certain of its more significant subsidiaries, the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends and other distributions and make loans to it is restricted. Additionally, as an equity holder, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s ability to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary is subordinate to the claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that any claims Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may have as a creditor of the subsidiary are judicially recognized. If these sources are not adequate, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may be unable to make payments of principal or interest in respect of the notes and you could lose all or a part of your investment.
Market-Making by Affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
Lehman Brothers Inc. and other affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or other underwriters may make a market in the notes, but they will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making at any time without notice. Lehman Brothers Inc. and other affiliates of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may act as a principal or agent in these transactions. The prospectus, the prospectus supplement and any accompanying prospectus or pricing supplement will also be used in connection with those transactions by Lehman Brothers Inc. or Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s other affiliates. Sales in any of those transactions will be made at varying prices related to prevailing market prices and other circumstances at the time of sale. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the notes.
