       6.5% Yield Enhanced Equity Linked Debt Securities Due July 20, 2006
               Performance Linked to Alcoa Inc. (AA) Common Stock

Because these notes are part of a series of Lehman Brothers Holdings' debt
securities called Medium-Term Notes, Series G, this pricing supplement and the
accompanying prospectus supplement, dated October 31, 2003 (the "YEELDS
prospectus supplement") should also be read with the accompanying prospectus
supplement, dated June 14, 2001 (the "MTN prospectus supplement") and the
accompanying prospectus dated June 14, 2001 (the "base prospectus"). Terms used
here have the meanings given them in the YEELDS prospectus supplement, the MTN
prospectus supplement or the base prospectus, unless the context requires
otherwise.

o   INDEX STOCK ISSUER: Alcoa Inc.

o   INDEX STOCK: The common stock of the index stock issuer.

o   STATED MATURITY DATE: July 20, 2006, subject to postponement if a market
    disruption event occurs on the valuation date.

o   VALUATION DATE: July 13, 2006, subject to postponement if a market
    disruption event occurs, as described beginning on pages SS-11 and SS-14 of
    the prospectus supplement, as supplemented by "Market Disruption Events;
    Postponement of Valuation Date Because of a Market Disruption Event" on page
    PS-2 of this pricing supplement.

o   DETERMINATION PERIOD: Five business days.

o   COUPON RATE: 6.5% per annum.

o   COUPON PAYMENT DATES: January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20 of each
    year, beginning on April 20, 2005.

o   COUPON RECORD DATES: 15 calendar days prior to each coupon payment date.

o   PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $29.80 per YEELD and, in the aggregate, $149,000,000.

o   LISTING: The notes will not be listed on any exchange.

o   EQUITY CAP PRICE: $34.27, which represents 115% of the initial value.

o   INITIAL VALUE: $29.80, which is the average execution price per share for
    the index stock that an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings paid to hedge
    Lehman Brothers Holdings' obligations under the notes.

o   DENOMINATION: $29.80 and integral multiples thereof.

o   PAYMENT AT MATURITY: On the stated maturity date, Lehman Brothers Holdings
    will pay you, per YEELD, the lesser of:

   (1)  the alternative redemption amount; and

   (2)  $34.27.

    Because the principal amount is equal to the initial value, the alternative
    redemption amount per YEELD will equal the settlement value. See
    "Description of the Notes--Settlement value" in the YEELDS prospectus
    supplement.

o   STOCK SETTLEMENT OPTION: Yes, as described on page PS-2 of this pricing
    supplement under "Stock Settlement Option".

Investing in the notes involves risks. Risk Factors begin on pages PS-2 of this
        pricing supplement and S-6 of the YEELDS prospectus supplement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this
pricing supplement, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any accompanying
prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

                             ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS


THE INCLUSION OF COMMISSIONS AND PROJECTED PROFIT FROM HEDGING IN THE PUBLIC
OFFERING PRICE IS LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT SECONDARY MARKET PRICES.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the
price, if any, at which Lehman Brothers Inc. is willing to purchase the notes in
secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the public offering
price, since the public offering price included, and secondary market prices are
likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the notes, as well as the
projected profit included in the cost of hedging the obligations of Lehman
Brothers Holdings under the notes. In addition, any such prices may differ from
values determined by pricing models used by Lehman Brothers Inc., as a result of
dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.


THE NOTES MAY NOT BE ACTIVELY TRADED.

The notes are not listed on any securities exchange. There may be little or no
secondary market for the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not
provide significant liquidity. Lehman Brothers Inc. currently intends to act as
a market maker for the notes, but it is not required to do so.


YOU HAVE NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.

Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the common stock of
Alcoa Inc. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or
rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with
respect to the common stock of Alcoa Inc.


      MARKET DISRUPTION EVENTS; POSTPONEMENT OF VALUATION DATE BECAUSE OF A
                             MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT

Notwithstanding the description of market disruption events set forth in the
prospectus supplement under "Description of the Notes--Market disruption
events", the fact that Lehman Brothers Holdings, or any of its affiliates, is
unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to unwind or dispose of, or
realize, recover or remit the proceeds of, any transactions or assets it deems
necessary to hedge the equity price risk of entering into and performing its
obligations with respect to the notes shall not constitute a market disruption
event.

If a market disruption event occurs on a day that would otherwise be the
originally scheduled valuation date set forth on the cover page of this pricing
supplement, the valuation date will be postponed until the next scheduled
trading day on which no market disruption event occurs; provided, however, if a
market disruption event occurs on each of the eight scheduled trading days
following the originally scheduled valuation date, then (a) that eighth
scheduled trading day shall be deemed the valuation date and (b) the calculation
agent shall determine the closing price of the index stock based upon its good
faith estimate of the value of the index stock as of the close of trading on the
relevant exchange on that eighth scheduled trading day.


                             STOCK SETTLEMENT OPTION

If Lehman Brothers Holdings so elects at its sole option with not less than 15
days prior written notice to the trustee, Lehman Brothers Holdings may pay the
amount payable at maturity in shares of Alcoa Inc. common stock (and any other
equity securities and cash used in the calculation of the settlement value)
based on the settlement value. If, however, Lehman Brothers Holdings determines
that it is prohibited from delivering such shares, or that it would otherwise be
unduly burdensome to deliver such shares, on the maturity date, it will pay the
amount payable at maturity in cash. In the event Lehman Brothers Holdings elects
the stock settlement option, you will receive per YEELD, subject to the
preceding sentence, a number of shares of Alcoa Inc. common stock that as of the
valuation date is equal to the lesser of (a) the alternative redemption amount
divided by the settlement value and (b) the equity cap price divided by the
settlement value. If the calculation above results in a fractional share, Lehman
Brothers Holdings will pay cash to you in an amount equal to that fractional
share, calculated on an aggregate basis in respect of the YEELDS you own,
multiplied by the market value based upon the closing price of Alcoa Inc. common
stock (and any equity securities included in the


                                      PS-2





calculation of the settlement value) on the valuation date. Upon the occurrence
of certain events, or if Alcoa Inc. is involved in certain extraordinary
transactions, the number of shares of Alcoa Inc. common stock to be delivered
may be adjusted and Lehman Brothers Holdings may deliver, in lieu of or in
addition to Alcoa Inc. common stock, cash and any other equity securities used
in the calculation of the settlement value, all as determined by the calculation
agent. See "Description of the Notes--Adjustments to multipliers and to
securities included in the calculation of the settlement value" on S-12 of the
accompanying YEELDS Prospectus Supplement. Because the settlement value will
ordinarily be determined five business days prior to the maturity date, if
Lehman Brothers Holdings elects the stock settlement option, the effect to
holders will be as if the notes matured five business days prior to the maturity
date. Thus, the aggregate value of the shares of Alcoa Inc. common stock and any
other equity securities and cash that you receive at maturity may be more or
less than the amount you would have received had Lehman Brothers Holdings not
elected the stock settlement option as a result of fluctuations in the value of
these securities during the five-day period. Consequently it is possible that
the aggregate value of the cash and securities that you receive at maturity may
be less than the payment that you would have received at maturity had Lehman
Brothers Holdings not elected to settle the notes with shares of Alcoa Inc.
common stock. In the absence of any election notice to the trustee, Lehman
Brothers Holdings will be deemed to have elected to pay the amount payable at
maturity in cash.


                     EXAMPLES OF AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY

Here are three examples of the amount that may be payable on the stated maturity
date if Lehman Brothers Holdings does not elect the stock settlement option.


EXAMPLE 1. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $22.00:

As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $22.00 per YEELD,
plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments, because the settlement value of $22.00
is less than $34.27.


EXAMPLE 2.  ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $30.00:

As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $30.00 per YEELD,
plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments, because the settlement value of $30.00
is less than $34.27.


EXAMPLE 3.  ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $38.00:

As a result, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $34.27 per YEELD,
plus accrued and unpaid coupon payments, because $34.27 is less than the
settlement value of $38.00.

To the extent the actual settlement value differs from the values assumed above,
the results indicated above would be different.

If Lehman Brothers Holdings elects the stock settlement option, the market price
of the shares of Alcoa Inc. common stock that you receive per YEELD on the
maturity date may be less than the amount that you would have received had
Lehman Brothers Holdings not elected the stock settlement option because the
number of shares you receive will ordinarily be calculated based upon the value
of Alcoa Inc. common stock five business days prior to the maturity date.


                    SUPPLEMENTAL USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING

An amount equal to approximately 60% of the proceeds to be received by Lehman
Brothers Holdings from the sale of the notes has been or will be used by Lehman
Brothers Holdings or one or more of its subsidiaries before and immediately
following the initial offering of the notes to acquire shares of the index
stock.

                                      PS-4





disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose
material future events concerning the index stock issuer could affect the value
received at maturity with respect to the notes and therefore the trading prices
of the notes. Neither Lehman Brothers Holdings nor any of its affiliates makes
any representation to you as to the performance of the index stock issuer.

Lehman Brothers Holdings and/or its affiliates may presently or from time to
time engage in business with the index stock issuer, including extending loans
to, entering into loans with, or making equity investments in, the index stock
issuer or providing advisory services to the index stock issuer, including
merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of such business, Lehman
Brothers Holdings and/or its affiliates may acquire non-public information with
respect to the index stock issuer, and neither Lehman Brothers Holdings nor any
of its affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In
addition, one or more of Lehman Brothers Holdings' affiliates may publish
research reports with respect to the index stock issuer, and these reports may
or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the index stock. The statements
in the preceding two sentences are not intended to affect the rights of
investors in the notes under the securities laws. As an investor in your note,
you should undertake an independent investigation of the index stock issuer as
in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an

HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDEX STOCK

The index stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AA".

The following table presents the high and low closing prices for Alcoa Inc.
common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during each quarter, and
the closing price at the end of each quarter of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005
(through the date of this pricing supplement). All values in the table are set
forth in U.S. dollars.

As indicated below, the market price of the index stock has been highly volatile
during recent periods.

It is impossible to predict whether the price of the index stock will rise or
fall. The historical prices of the index stock are not indications of future
performance. Lehman Brothers Holdings cannot assure you that the price of the
index stock will remain at, or increase above, the initial value; accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the payment you receive at maturity will equal or
exceed the principal amount. The historical prices below have been adjusted to
reflect any stock splits or reverse stock splits.

All information in the table that follows was obtained from Bloomberg L.P.,
without independent verification.

(1) Excludes accrued and unpaid coupon payments payable on the stated maturity
    date.

(2) The hypothetical total annualized yield on the stated maturity date
    represents the coupon rate per year used in determining the present values,
    discounted to the original issue date (computed on the basis of a 360-day
    year of twelve 30-day months compounded annually), of all payments made or
    to be made on the YEELDS, including the amount payable on the stated
    maturity date and all coupon payments through the stated maturity date, the
    sum of these present values being equal to the original issue price.

(3) Assumes the dividend yield on the index stock remains constant for the term
    of the YEELDS.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount
received by investors and the resulting total and pre-tax rate of return will
depend entirely on the actual settlement value determined by the calculation
agent. In particular, the actual settlement value could be lower or higher than
those reflected in the table.

You should compare the features of the YEELDS to other available investments
before deciding to purchase the YEELDS. Due to the uncertainty concerning the
settlement value on the valuation date, the return on investment with respect to
the YEELDS may be higher or lower than the return available on other securities
issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings or by others. You should reach an investment
decision only after carefully considering the suitability of the YEELDS in light
of your particular circumstances.

                        SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to sell to Lehman Brothers Inc., the agent,
as principal, and the agent has agreed to purchase, all of the YEELDS at the
price indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement.

The agent will offer the YEELDS initially at a public offering price equal to
the issue price set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. After the
initial public offering, the public offering price may from time to time be
varied by the agent.

Lehman Brothers Holdings has granted to the underwriter an option to purchase,
at any time within 13 days of the original issuance of the YEELDS, up to 750,000
additional YEELDS solely to cover over-allotments. To the extent that the option
is exercised, the underwriter will be committed, subject to certain conditions,
to purchase the additional YEELDS. If this option is exercised in full, the
total public offering price, the underwriting discount and proceeds to Lehman
Brothers Holdings would be $171,350,000, $428,375 and $170,921,625,
respectively.

Lehman Brothers Holdings expects to deliver the YEELDS against payment on or
about the date specified in the second to last paragraph of the cover page of
this pricing supplement, which is the fifth business day following the date of
this pricing supplement.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, 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, if any purchaser wishes to trade
the YEELDS on the date of this pricing supplement, it will be required, by
virtue of the fact that the YEELDS initially will settle on the fifth business
day following the date of this pricing supplement, to specify an alternate
settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
