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: Analog Devices, Inc. Analog 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.

option, on the stated maturity date, Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay you

averaging period, and shall generally be equal to such arithmetic average
multiplied by the multiplier, as described beginning on page PS-2 of this
preliminary pricing supplement under "Settlement Value Based Upon
Arithmetic Average of Adjusted Closing Prices". You must provide the

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTOR

IF A MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT OCCURS ON A DAY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE AN
AVERAGING DAY, THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN SETTLEMENT OF THE YEELDS.

If a market disruption event occurs on a day that would otherwise be an
averaging day, settlement of the YEELDS will be delayed, depending on the
circumstances surrounding the market disruption event, for up to 64 trading days
following the stated maturity date.

SETTLEMENT VALUE BASED UPON ARITHMETIC AVERAGE OF ADJUSTED CLOSING PRICES

If the holder of a note has elected to exercise its cash settlement option, the
settlement value will be based upon the arithmetic average of the adjusted
closing prices of the index stock on each of the last eight scheduled trading
days ending on, and including, the valuation date, and shall generally be equal
to such arithmetic average multiplied by the multiplier. Adjustments to the
closing prices will occur if Analog Devices, Inc. changes the amount of the
quarterly cash dividends it pays on its shares of common stock during the term
of the YEELDS. See "Description of the Notes-Settlement value" on page SS-14 in
the accompanying YEELDS prospectus supplement.

POSTPONEMENT OF AN AVERAGING DAY, INCLUDING VALUATION DATE, BECAUSE OF A
MARKET DISRUPTION EVENT

If a market disruption event occurs on a day that would otherwise be an
averaging day, as set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, such
averaging day 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 averaging day, then (a) that eighth scheduled trading day shall be
deemed to be that averaging day and (b) the calculation agent shall determine
the adjusted closing price of the index stock for that eighth scheduled trading
day, based upon its good faith estimate of the value of the index stock as of
the close of trading on the relevant exchange on such day. If any averaging day
is postponed, all subsequent averaging days will also be postponed; the next
subsequent averaging day will then be the next scheduled trading day on which no
market disruption event occurs (subject to the eight scheduled trading day
limitation described above). As a consequence, the occurrence of a market
disruption event on a day that would otherwise be an averaging day may result in
non-consecutive averaging days.

PS-2

STOCK SETTLEMENT

Unless the holder elects to exercise its cash settlement option, Lehman Brothers
Holdings will, subject to the next paragraph, deliver on the stated maturity
date a number of shares of Analog Devices, Inc. common stock equal to, per
YEELDS, the sum of the daily settlement share numbers for each averaging day
during the averaging period, as determined by the calculation agent in its good
faith judgment. The daily settlement share number for any averaging day will
generally equal:

o if the product of the adjusted closing price on such averaging day times
the multiplier exceeds the equity cap price:

equity cap price
0.125 x ---------------- ; or
closing price

o if the product of the adjusted closing price on such averaging day times
the multiplier is equal to or less than the equity cap price:

adjusted closing price
0.125 x ---------------------- x multiplier
closing price

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 stated maturity date, it will pay in cash the amount
payable at maturity.

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 arithmetic average of the adjusted closing price of Analog
Devices, Inc. common stock (and any equity securities included in the
calculation of the settlement value) on each averaging day during the
eight-trading-day averaging period.

Upon the occurrence of certain events, or if Analog Devices, Inc. is involved in
certain extraordinary transactions, the number of shares of Analog Devices, Inc.
common stock to be delivered may be adjusted and Lehman Brothers Holdings may
deliver, in lieu of or in addition to Analog Devices, Inc. common stock, cash
and any other equity securities used in the calculation of the daily settlement
share numbers, 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 page SS-16 of the accompanying YEELDS
prospectus supplement.

Because the daily settlement share numbers will ordinarily be determined over
the eight-trading-day averaging period ending on the fifth business day prior to
the stated maturity date, the effect to holders will be as if the YEELDS matured
over an eight trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the
stated maturity date. Thus, the aggregate value of the shares of Analog Devices,
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 paid the amount payable at maturity in cash. 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 in cash if you elected cash settlement. In the absence of any election
notice to the trustee, holders of notes will be deemed to have elected stock
settlement as described above.

PS-3

EXAMPLES OF AMOUNT PAYABLE AT MATURITY

Here are three examples of the amount that may be payable on the stated maturity
date if you elect to exercise your cash settlement option. In each of these
examples it is assumed that (a) the investment is held from the date on which
the YEELDS are first issued until the stated maturity date, (b) Analog Devices,
Inc. does not change the amount of the quarterly cash dividends that it pays on
its shares of common stock during the term of the YEELDS, (c) the initial value
is $29.40 and (d) the equity cap price is $32.54286.

EXAMPLE 1. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $25.00:

As a result, because the settlement value of $25.00 is less than $32.54286, on
the stated maturity date, you would receive $25.00 per YEELDS, plus accrued but
unpaid coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 2. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $30.00:

As a result, because the settlement value of $30.00 is less than $32.54286, on
the stated maturity date, you would receive $30.00 per YEELDS, plus accrued but
unpaid coupon payments.

EXAMPLE 3. ASSUMING THE SETTLEMENT VALUE IS $35.00:

As a result, because $32.5429 is less than the settlement value of $35.00 on the
stated maturity date, you would receive $32.54286 per YEELDS, plus accrued but
unpaid coupon payments.

To the extent the actual settlement value, initial value or equity cap price
differs from the values assumed above or that Analog Devices, Inc. changes the
amount of the quarterly cash dividends it pays during the term of the YEELDS,
the results indicated above would be different.

If you do not elect to exercise your cash settlement option, the market price of
the shares of Analog Devices, Inc. common stock that you receive per YEELDS on
the stated maturity date may be less than the amount that you would have
received had Lehman Brothers Holdings paid the amount payable at maturity in
cash because the number of shares you receive will ordinarily be calculated
based upon the adjusted closing prices of Analog Devices, Inc. common stock
during the eight-trading-day averaging period ending on the fifth business day
prior to the stated maturity date.

(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 annualized yield 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.

PS-7

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 September 5, 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.

Lehman Brothers Holdings or an affiliate will enter into swap agreements or
related hedge transactions with one of Lehman Brothers Holdings' other
affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the
notes and Lehman Brothers Inc. and/or an affiliate will earn additional income
as a result of payments pursuant to the swap, or related hedge transactions.
