     0.00% Yield Enhanced Equity Linked Debt Securities Due August 29, 2006
      Performance Linked to ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. (AMD) Common Stock

Because these notes are part of a series of Lehman Brothers Holdings' debt
securities called Medium-Term Notes, Series H, this preliminary pricing
supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement, dated May 18, 2005 (the
"YEELDS prospectus supplement") should also be read with the accompanying
prospectus supplement, dated May 18, 2005 (the "MTN prospectus supplement") and
the accompanying prospectus dated May 18, 2005 (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: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
is not involved in this offering and has no obligation with respect to the
notes.

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

o STATED MATURITY DATE: August 29, 2006, subject to postponement if the
valuation date is postponed.

o VALUATION DATE: August 22, 2006, subject to postponement if a market
disruption event occurs or if such day is not a scheduled trading day, as
described under the caption "Description of the Notes-Settlement value" on page
SS-12 of the YEELDS prospectus supplement.

o DETERMINATION PERIOD: Five business days.

o COUPON RATE: 0.00% per annum.

o PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: An amount per YEELDS equal to the initial value, and in
aggregate, $[          ].

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

o EQUITY CAP PRICE: 120.0% of the initial value.

o INITIAL VALUE: The average execution price per share for the index stock that
an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay to hedge Lehman Brothers
Holdings' obligations under the notes.

o TRIGGER PRICE: 59.95% of the initial value.

o DENOMINATIONS: An amount equal to the initial value and integral multiples
thereof.

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

(1) the alternative redemption amount; and

(2) the equity cap price.

provided that, if the adjusted intraday price of the index stock multiplied by
the multiplier then in effect is at or above the trigger price on all scheduled
trading days during the measurement period and the settlement value is less than
the initial value, Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay you the initial value per
YEELDS.

The adjusted intraday price of the index stock on any scheduled trading day will
equal the then-current intraday price of the index stock, plus the dividend
adjustment amount in effect on such scheduled trading day. The measurement
period will begin on the date of the pricing supplement and end on the valuation
date.

Because the principal amount is equal to the initial value, the alternative
redemption amount per YEELDS will equal the settlement value.

The settlement value will be based upon the adjusted closing price of the index
stock on the valuation date, and shall generally be equal to the adjusted
closing price multiplied by the multiplier, as described beginning on page PS-2
of this preliminary pricing supplement under "Settlement Value Based Upon
Adjusted Closing Price".

o STOCK SETTLEMENT OPTION: Yes, at the option of Lehman Brothers Holdings at
maturity, as described under the caption "Description of the Notes-Stock
Settlement" on page SS-16 of the YEELDS prospectus supplement. Lehman Brothers
Holdings will provide the trustee with prior written notice no later than the
valuation date if it elects the stock settlement option.

               SETTLEMENT VALUE BASED UPON ADJUSTED CLOSING PRICE


Notwithstanding the statement in the YEELDS prospectus supplement in the first
sentence under "Description of Notes--Settlement value" that the settlement
value will be based upon the closing price of the index stock, in the case of
the YEELDS offered hereby, the settlement value will be based upon the adjusted
closing price of the index stock on the valuation date, and shall generally be
equal to such adjusted closing price multiplied by the multiplier then in
effect. Adjustments to the closing price will occur, as described below, if
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. pays dividends on its shares of common stock during
the term of the YEELDS.

The adjusted closing price of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. common stock on any
scheduled trading day will equal the closing price of such common stock on such
scheduled trading day, plus the dividend adjustment amount (which may be a
negative number) in effect on such scheduled trading day. The dividend
adjustment amount shall initially be zero.

The "base dividend" shall be $0.00, the amount of the quarterly dividend per
share of common stock most recently paid by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. prior
to the date of the pricing supplement. The base dividend is subject to
adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the shares of common stock
of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. such as share splits, reverse share splits or
reclassifications, as determined by the calculation agent, in its good faith
judgment.

If the calculation agent determines in its sole and absolute discretion that
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. has failed to declare or make a quarterly dividend
payment, the effective adjustment date for adjusting the dividend adjustment
amount will be the first business day immediately following July 11, 2006 and
the valuation date, as applicable.

If, during the period from, but excluding, the date of the pricing supplement to
the valuation date, holders of record of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. common
stock 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 SanDisk Corporation, the dividend adjustment amount then in effect shall be
increased on the effective adjustment date by an amount equal to the new
dividend. Any such upward adjustment to the dividend adjustment amount may
increase the amount you receive upon maturity.

The dividend adjustment amount in effect at any time shall be adjusted in the
event of certain events affecting the shares of common stock of SanDisk
Corporation, such as share splits, reverse share splits or reclassifications, as
determined by the calculation agent, in its good faith judgment.

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

           SUPPLEMENTAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES


Because the notes are in form debt and the notes provide principal protection
unless the index stock significantly declines in value, there can be no
assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree that the notes should be
treated as financial contract giving rise to capital gain or loss instead of
debt subject to the contingent debt rules which will require current income
accrual and will generally give rise to ordinary income or loss. See the YEELDS
Prospectus Supplement under "United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences--United States Holders--Alternative Characterizations".



                                      PS-2


                     EXAMPLES OF AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY

Here are three examples of the amount that may be payable on the stated maturity
date. In each of these examples it is assumed that Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
does not pay any cash dividends on its shares of common stock during the term of
the YEELDS. In each of these examples, it is assumed that the initial value is
$41.00, the equity cap price is $49.20 and the trigger price is $24.5795.

EXAMPLE 1. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $38.00 AND THE ADJUSTED INTRADAY
PRICE OF THE INDEX STOCK MULTIPLIED BY THE MULTIPLIER THEN IN EFFECT WAS AT OR
ABOVE THE TRIGGER PRICE ON ALL SCHEDULED TRADING DAYS DURING THE MEASUREMENT
PERIOD:

As a result, because (i) the settlement value of $38.00 is less than $41.00 and
(ii) the adjusted intraday price of the index stock multiplied by the multiplier
then in effect was at or above $24.5795 on all scheduled trading days during the
measurement period, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $41.00 per
YEELDS, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, you would receive on the stated
maturity date the number of shares of the index stock and cash having a value on
the valuation date equal to $41.00 per YEELDS, plus accrued but unpaid coupon
payments. Accordingly, you would receive on the stated maturity date if you held
one YEELDS, one share of index stock and $3.00 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid
coupon payments. To the extent that you hold more than one YEELDS, the
calculations of cash payments in lieu of fractional shares would be made on an
aggregate, rather than on a per YEELDS, basis. For example, if you held
1,219,513 YEELDS, you would receive on the stated maturity date, in total,
1,315,790 shares of index stock and $13.00 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid
coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 2. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $38.00 AND THE ADJUSTED INTRADAY
PRICE OF THE INDEX STOCK MULTIPLIED BY THE MULTIPLIER THEN IN EFFECT FELL BELOW
THE TRIGGER PRICE ON A SCHEDULED TRADING DAY DURING THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD:

As a result, because (i) the settlement value of $38.00 is less than $41.00 and
(ii) the adjusted intraday price of the index stock multiplied by the multiplier
then in effect fell below $24.5795 on a scheduled trading day during the
measurement period, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $38.00 per
YEELDS, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, you would receive on the stated
maturity date a number of shares of the index stock and cash having a value on
the valuation date equal to $38.00 per YEELDS, plus accrued but unpaid coupon
payments. Accordingly, you would receive on the stated maturity date if you held
one YEELDS, one share of index stock, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.
If you held 1,219,513 YEELDS, you would receive on the stated maturity date, in
total, 1,219,513 shares of index stock, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 3.  ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $55.00:

As a result, because $49.20 is less than the settlement value of $55.00, on the
stated maturity date, you would receive $49.20 per YEELDS, plus accrued but
unpaid coupon payments.

In the case of stock settlement in this example, you would receive on the stated
maturity date a number of shares of the index stock and cash having a value on
the valuation date equal to $49.20 per YEELDS, plus accrued but unpaid coupon
payments. Accordingly, you would receive on the stated maturity date if you held
one YEELDS, $49.20 in cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments. To the
extent that you hold more than one YEELDS, the calculations of cash payments in
lieu of fractional shares would be made on an aggregate, rather than on a per
YEELDS, basis. For example, if you held 1,219,513 YEELDS, you would receive on
the stated maturity date in total, 1,090,909 shares of index stock and $44.60 in
cash, plus accrued but unpaid coupon payments.

To the extent the actual settlement value, initial value, equity cap price or
trigger price differs from the values assumed above or that Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. begins to pay cash dividends, the results indicated above would be
different.

                              HYPOTHETICAL RETURNS

The tables below illustrate, for a range of hypothetical settlement values on
the valuation date, in each case assuming that (a) the investment is held from
the date on which the YEELDS are first issued until the stated maturity date,
(b) Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. does not pay any cash dividends on its shares
of common stock during the term of the YEELDS, (c) the initial value is $41.00,
(d) the equity cap price is $49.20 and (e) the trigger price is $24.5795:

o    the percentage change from the issue price to the hypothetical settlement
     value on the valuation date;

o    the total coupon payments paid or payable on or before the stated maturity
     date per YEELDS;

o    the hypothetical total amount payable per YEELDS on the stated maturity
     date;

o    the hypothetical total annualized yield on the YEELDS on the stated
     maturity date; and

o    the hypothetical total annualized yield from direct ownership of the index
     stock.

The hypothetical results illustrated in the first table assume that the adjusted
intraday price of the index stock multiplied by the multiplier then in effect is
at or above the trigger price on all scheduled trading days during the
measurement period. Those in the second table assume that the adjusted intraday
price of the index stock multiplied by the multiplier then in effect has fallen
below the trigger price on any scheduled trading day during the measurement
period.

     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.

(1)  Excludes accrued but 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.

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 tables.

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. and Lehman
Brothers Inc. has agreed to purchase, all of the YEELDS at the price indicated
on the cover of the pricing supplement.

Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to indemnify Lehman Brothers Inc. against
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or to contribute to payments that Lehman Brothers Inc. may be required to make
relating to these liabilities as described in the MTN prospectus supplement and
the base prospectus.

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

Lehman Brothers Holdings has granted to Lehman Brothers Inc. an option to
purchase, at any time within 13 days of the original issuance of the YEELDS, up
to [     ] additional YEELDS solely to cover over-allotments. To the extent that
the option is exercised, Lehman Brothers Inc. 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 approximately $[      ],
$[     ] and $[     ], respectively.

Lehman Brothers Holdings expects to deliver the YEELDS against payment on or
about March 2, 2006, which is the fifth business day following the date of the
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 the 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 the pricing supplement, to specify an alternate settlement
cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

An affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings will enter into a swap transaction in
connection with the notes and will receive customary compensation for that
transaction.
