    Performance Linked to the Common Stock of Whole Foods Market, Inc. (WFMI)

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 August 20, 2003 (the "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 prospectus supplement, the MTN prospectus supplement
or the base prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise.

o    REFERENCE EQUITY: The common stock of Whole Foods Market, Inc. ("WFMI").
     WFMI is not involved in this offering and has no obligation with respect to
     the notes.

o    STATED MATURITY DATE: March 22, 2012, subject to postponement if a market
     disruption event occurs on the valuation date.

o    VALUATION DATE: March 19, 2012, subject to postponement if a market
     disruption event occurs, as described on page SS-17 of the prospectus
     supplement, as supplemented by "Market Disruption Events; Postponement of
     Valuation Date Because of a Market Disruption Event" on page PS-4 of this
     pricing supplement.

o    INTEREST RATE: 1.25% per annum.

o    INTEREST PAYMENT DATES: March 22 and September 22 of each year, beginning
     on September 22, 2005.

o    INTEREST PAYMENT RECORD DATES: 15 calendar days prior to each interest
     payment date.

o    THRESHOLD VALUE: $121.180335, which represents 119.85% of $101.11, which is
     the average execution price per share of common stock of WFMI that an
     affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings has paid to hedge Lehman Brothers
     Holdings' obligations under the notes.

o    EARLIEST REDEMPTION DATE: March 15, 2008.

o    REDEMPTION NOTICE PERIOD: 30 calendar days.

     as supplemented by "Repurchase Option" on page PS-3 of this pricing
     supplement.

o    OPTIONAL REPURCHASE NOTICE PERIOD: Eight business days.

o    DETERMINATION PERIOD: Three business days.

o    MULTIPLIER: The initial multiplier for the shares of common stock of WFMI
     is 1.0. In addition to adjustments to the multiplier described in the
     prospectus supplement on page SS-14 under "Description of the
     Notes--Adjustments to multipliers and to securities included in the
     calculation of the settlement value", the multiplier is subject to
     adjustment if WFMI changes the per share amount of dividends it pays.

o    ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS TO MULTIPLIER: If the amount of any quarterly
     dividend that WFMI pays on its shares of common stock is less than $0.19
     per share (the amount of the quarterly dividend per share most recently
     paid by WFMI), including if WFMI fails to declare or make a quarterly
     dividend payment on its shares of common stock, the multiplier used in
     determining the settlement value will be reduced, thereby potentially
     decreasing the amount you may receive upon maturity or upon repurchase or
     redemption. If the amount of any such quarterly dividend is more than $0.19
     per share, the multiplier will be increased, thereby potentially increasing
     the amount you may receive upon maturity or upon repurchase or redemption.
     See "Additional Adjustments to the Multiplier" on page PS-2 of this pricing
     supplement.

o    STOCK SETTLEMENT OPTION: Yes, as described on page SS-19 of the prospectus
     supplement, as supplemented by "Stock Settlement Option" on page PS-4 of
     this pricing supplement.

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

Investing in the notes involves risks. Risk Factors begin on pages PS-2 of this
           pricing supplement and SS-7 of the 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.

March 15, 2005





                             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
WFMI. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to
receive dividends or other distributions (although the multiplier will be
adjusted to reflect changes in the rate of dividends on the shares of common
stock of WFMI) or any other rights with respect to the shares of common stock of
WFMI.

                    ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MULTIPLIER

The initial multiplier for the shares of common stock of WFMI is 1.0. In
addition to adjustments to the multiplier described in the prospectus
supplement, the multiplier is subject to adjustment as described below if WFMI
changes the per share amount of dividends it pays on its shares of common stock.

If, during the period from, but excluding, the date of this pricing supplement
to the valuation date, holders of record of shares of common stock of WFMI are
entitled to receive a cash dividend (other than an extraordinary cash dividend,
as determined by the calculation agent in its good faith judgment) from WFMI and
the amount of the dividend is less than the base dividend (as described below)
per share of common stock (the amount of the quarterly dividend per share of
common stock most recently paid by WFMI prior to the date of this pricing
supplement), including if WFMI fails to declare or make a quarterly dividend
payment on its shares of common stock (as determined by the calculation agent in
its sole and absolute discretion), the multiplier shall be reduced, effective at
the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the ex-dividend
date for the WFMI dividend (such business day, the "effective adjustment date"),
so that the new multiplier equals the product of the then current multiplier
and:

                     1  -  base dividend - new dividend
                           ----------------------------
                                    closing price

Any such downward adjustment to the multiplier may decrease the amount you
receive upon maturity or upon repurchase or redemption. In no event, however,
will the multiplier be reduced to less than zero. The "base dividend" shall be
$0.19, the amount of the quarterly dividend per share of common stock most
recently paid by WFMI prior to the date of this pricing supplement, subject to
adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the shares of common stock
of WFMI, such as share splits, reverse share splits or reclassifications, as
determined by the calculation agent, in its good faith judgment. The "new
dividend" shall be the dividend per share of common stock of WFMI, which may be
zero, giving rise to the adjustment. The "closing price" shall be the closing
price of the shares of common stock of WFMI on the effective adjustment date for
the WFMI common stock dividend giving rise to the adjustment. If the calculation
agent determines in its sole and absolute discretion that WFMI has failed to
declare or make a quarterly dividend payment, the effective adjustment date for
adjusting the multiplier will be the first business day immediately following
the 20th day of each February, May, August or November and the valuation date,
as applicable.

If, during the period from, but excluding, the date of this pricing supplement
to the valuation date, holders of record of WFMI common stock are entitled to
receive a cash dividend (other than an extraordinary cash dividend, as
determined by the calculation agent



                                      PS-2


in its good faith judgment) from WFMI and the amount of the dividend is more
than the base dividend per share, the multiplier shall be increased, effective
at the close of business on the effective adjustment date, so that the new
multiplier equals the product of the then current multiplier and:

                     1  +  new dividend - base dividend
                           ----------------------------
                                    closing price

Any such upward adjustment to the multiplier may increase the amount you receive
upon maturity or upon repurchase or redemption. The adjustments to the
multiplier discussed above are in addition to any other adjustments that may be
made to the multiplier for the reasons described in the prospectus supplement
under "Description of the Notes--Adjustments to multipliers and to securities
included in the calculation of the settlement value."

You may call Lehman Brothers Inc. at 212-526-0905 to obtain the current value of
the multiplier.

                                REPURCHASE OPTION

If you exercise your option to require Lehman Brothers Holdings to repurchase
your notes prior to maturity, you will receive on the repurchase date, subject
to the following paragraph, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes, a number
of shares of common stock of WFMI equal to the alternative redemption amount
divided by the settlement value. See "Description of the Notes--Your option to
require Lehman Brothers Holdings to repurchase the notes prior to maturity" in
the prospectus supplement. Upon the occurrence of certain events, or if WFMI is
involved in certain extraordinary transactions (as determined by the calculation
agent in its sole discretion), the number of shares of common stock of WFMI to
be delivered may be adjusted and Lehman Brothers Holdings may deliver, in lieu
of or in addition to shares of common stock of WFMI, cash and any other equity
securities used in the calculation of the settlement value. See "Description of
the Notes--Adjustments to multipliers and to securities included in the
calculation of the settlement value" in the prospectus supplement. If the
calculations above result in fractional shares, Lehman Brothers Holdings will
pay cash to you in an amount equal to the value of the fractional shares based
upon the closing price of the shares of common stock of WFMI or such other
equity securities on the third business day preceding the repurchase date.

If, however, Lehman Brothers Holdings determines that it is prohibited from
delivering shares of common stock of WFMI or other equity securities, or that it
would otherwise be unduly burdensome to do so, it will pay the entire repurchase
price in cash.












                                      PS-3


                             STOCK SETTLEMENT OPTION

Lehman Brothers Holdings has the option to settle the notes at maturity (but not
upon redemption) with shares of common stock of WFMI, as described in "Stock
settlement option" of the prospectus supplement. In the event Lehman Brothers
Holdings elects stock settlement, you will receive, subject to the following
paragraph, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes, a number of shares of
common stock of WFMI that as of the valuation date is equal to the greater of
(a) $1,000 divided by the settlement value or (b) the Alternative Redemption
Amount divided by settlement value. See "Description of the Notes--Stock
settlement option" in the prospectus supplement. Upon the occurrence of certain
events, or if WFMI is involved in certain extraordinary transactions (as
determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion), the number of
shares of common stock of WFMI to be delivered may be adjusted and Lehman
Brothers Holdings may deliver, in lieu of or in addition to shares of common
stock of WFMI, cash and any other equity securities used in the calculation of
the settlement value. See "Description of Notes--Adjustments to multipliers and
to securities included in the calculation of the settlement value" in the
prospectus supplement. If the calculations above result in fractional shares,
Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay cash to you in an amount equal to the value of
the fractional shares based upon the closing price of shares of common stock of
WFMI or such other equity securities on the valuation date.

Because the settlement value will ordinarily be determined three 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 three
business days prior to the maturity date. Thus, the value of shares of common
stock of WFMI 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 three-day period.
Consequently, it is possible that the aggregate value of the cash and securities
that you receive at maturity may be less than $1,000 per $1,000 note.

If Lehman Brothers Holdings determines that it is prohibited from delivering
shares of common stock of WFMI or other equity securities, or that it would
otherwise be unduly burdensome to do so, it will pay the entire amount due on
the maturity date in cash.

     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.




                                      PS-4


     EXAMPLES OF AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY OR UPON REDEMPTION OR REPURCHASE

Here are two examples of hypothetical alternative redemption amount
calculations. In each of these examples it is assumed that WFMI does not change
the amount of the quarterly dividends that it pays on its shares of common stock
during the term of the notes.

EXAMPLE 1. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $100.00:

Alternative redemption amount per $1,000 note =

                         $100.00
      $1,000    x   -----------------    =   $825.22
                       $121.180335

As a result, on the maturity date or upon redemption, you would receive $1,000
per $1,000 note because $1,000 is greater than $825.22.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, you would receive, for each
$1,000 note, 10 shares of common stock of WFMI at maturity, or 8 shares of
common stock of WFMI plus $25.22 in cash upon repurchase.

EXAMPLE 2. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $140.00:

Alternative redemption amount per $1,000 note =

                         $140.00
      $1,000    x   -----------------    =   $1,155.30
                       $121.180335

As a result, on the maturity date or upon redemption, you would receive
$1,155.30 per $1,000 note because $1,155.30 is greater than $1,000.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, you would receive, for each
$1,000 note, 8 shares of common stock of WFMI plus $35.30 in cash at maturity or
upon repurchase.

To the extent the actual settlement value differs from the levels assumed above
or that WFMI changes the amount of the dividends it pays, the results indicated
above would be different.

                    SUPPLEMENTAL USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING

An amount equal to approximately 54% 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 common stock of
WFMI.

-----------------------
For purposes of this table, it is assumed that WFMI does not change the amount
of the quarterly dividends that it pays on its shares of common stock during the
term of the notes.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual amount
received by investors and the resulting total and pre-tax rates 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.

The table above only provides hypothetical return information with regard to
notes held to maturity. It is not applicable in the case of notes repurchased or
redeemed prior to the stated maturity date.

You should compare the features of the notes to other available investments
before deciding to purchase the notes. Due to the uncertainty as to whether the
alternative redemption amount, at stated maturity or in connection with a
repurchase or redemption, will be greater than $1,000 per $1,000 note or whether
the notes will be redeemed prior to the stated maturity date, the return on
investment with respect to the notes may be higher or lower than the return
available on other securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings or by others
and available through Lehman Brothers Inc. You should reach an investment
decision only after carefully considering the suitability of the notes in light
of your particular circumstances.

           SUPPLEMENTAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Lehman Brothers Holdings is required to provide the comparable yield to you and,
solely for tax purposes, is also required to provide a projected payment
schedule that includes the actual interest payments on the notes and estimates
the amount and timing of contingent payments on the notes. Lehman Brothers
Holdings has determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 4.968%
compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment
schedule per $1,000 note is $6.25 semi-annually and $1,313.01 due at maturity.
Lehman Brothers Holdings agrees and, by purchasing a note, you agree, for United
States federal income tax purposes, to be bound by Lehman Brothers Holdings'
determination of the comparable yield and projected payment schedule. As a
consequence, for United States federal income tax purposes, you must use the
comparable yield determined by Lehman Brothers Holdings and the projected
payments set forth in the projected payment schedule prepared by Lehman Brothers
Holdings in determining your interest accruals, and the adjustments thereto, in
respect of the notes.

Because there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly
addressing the characterization of notes with terms such as the notes for United
States federal income tax purposes, it is possible that the Internal Revenue
Service could assert characterizations other than those described in the
accompanying prospectus supplement that could affect the timing, amount and
character of income, gain, loss or deduction. You should consult your own tax
advisors concerning the federal income tax consequences of the notes in light of
your particular situation. See "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences"
in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

                        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 notes at the
price indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement.

The agent will offer the notes 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 notes, up to
$8,640,000 additional aggregate principal amount of notes 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
notes. If this option is exercised in full, the total public offering price, the
underwriting discount and proceeds to Lehman Brothers Holdings would be
approximately $66,240,000, $165,600 and $66,074,400, respectively.

Lehman Brothers Holdings expects to deliver the notes against payment on or
about March 22, 2005, 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 notes on the date of this pricing supplement, it will be required, by virtue
of the fact that the notes 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.
