PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant is unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Form 11-K”). The principal reasons for the Registrant’s inability to timely file Form 11-K at this time are as follows: (1) the filing by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) of a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on September 15, 2008 in a jointly administered proceeding named In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., et. al. under Case Number 08-13555; (2) the commencement of various administrative or civil rehabilitation proceedings of LBHI’s subsidiaries comprising significant parts of LBHI’s European and Asian businesses; (3) the sale since September 15, 2008 of significant businesses comprising LBHI’s historical business; and (4) the completion on May 4, 2009 of the transfer to Neuberger Berman Group LLC of LBHI’s investment management business, as described in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2009. LBHI was also unable to timely file Form 10-Q for the period ended February 28, 2010. Additional information regarding LBHI’s failure to timely file the LBHI 10-Q is available in LBHI’s Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2010.
As a result of the events described above, the Registrant is currently unable to complete the preparation of its Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Annual Report”). The Registrant currently does not have the ability to prepare the required disclosures, to have them properly certified by their current executive officers, and have them reviewed by their independent auditors. The Registrants will not be in a position to file the Form 11-K by the fifth calendar day following the required filing date, June 30, 2010, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.
