SUMMARY INFORMATION—Q&A

This summary highlights selected information from this pricing supplement, the MTN prospectus supplement and the base prospectus to help you understand the notes. You should carefully read this pricing supplement, the MTN prospectus supplement and the base prospectus to understand fully the terms of the notes and the tax and other considerations that are important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes. You should pay special attention to the “Risk Factors” section on page S-4 of the MTN prospectus supplement to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you.

What are the notes?

The notes will be a series of our senior debt that are linked to the performance of the British Pound (GBP) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) compared to the U.S. dollar (USD). We refer to the GBP and the CAD as the Reference Currencies.

The notes will rank equally with all other unsecured debt of Lehman Brothers Holdings, except subordinated debt, and will mature on August 24, 2007 (or if such day is not a New York business day, the next succeeding New York business day).

What payments will I receive on the notes before maturity?

None. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest before maturity.

What will I receive if I hold the notes until the stated maturity date?

We have designed this type of note for investors who want to protect their investment by receiving at least the principal amount of their investment at maturity and who also want to take a view on the trading ranges of the GBP/USD and USD/CAD spot exchange rates. At maturity, you will receive a payment equal to the sum of:

·                  the principal amount of the notes; and

·                  the Additional Amount, if any.

As a result, if you hold the notes until maturity, you will not receive less than the principal amount.

How will the Additional Amount be calculated?

The Additional Amount is a single U.S. dollar payment on the Maturity Date equal to the principal amount of the notes multiplied by:

(A) 1.875%, if, at all times during the Observation Period, both (a) the Continuously Observed GBP Rate has traded strictly within the GBP Reference Range and (b) the Continuously Observed CAD Rate has traded strictly within the CAD Reference Range; or

(B) 0%, if, at any time during the Observation Period, either (a) the Continuously Observed GBP Rate trades outside the GBP Reference Range (or on either the GBP Range Lower Boundary or the GBP Range Upper Boundary) or (b) the Continuously Observed CAD Rate trades outside the CAD Reference Range (or on either the CAD Range Lower Boundary or the CAD Range Upper Boundary).

The Observation Period is the period from and including 10:00 a.m. EST on the Start Date to but excluding 10:00 a.m. EST on the End Date.

The GBP Reference Exchange Rate is the spot exchange rate for the GBP quoted against the U.S. dollar expressed as the number of USD per 1 GBP.

The Continuously Observed GBP Rate is, at any time on any day during the Observation Period, the most recent traded GBP Reference Exchange Rate observed on the continuous trading EBS (Electronic Broking Service) Spot Dealing System (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event or a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event (each as defined in “Description of the Notes” below)).

The CAD Reference Exchange Rate is the spot exchange rate for the Canadian Dollar quoted against U.S. dollar the expressed as the number of CAD per 1 USD.

The Continuously Observed CAD Rate is, at any time on any day during the Observation Period, the most recent traded CAD Reference Exchange Rate observed on the continuous trading Reuters DealingLink Spot Dealing System (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event or a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event).

The Start Date is the date hereof.

The End Date is August 20, 2007, subject to adjustment by the Valuation Business Day Convention (as described in “Description of the Notes” below).

For further information concerning the calculation of the Additional Amount, see “Description of the Notes” below.  You can review hypothetical Redemption Amount payment examples under “Description of the Notes—Hypothetical Redemption Amount Payment Examples” below.

How are the Reference Ranges determined?

The GBP Reference Range is the range from (but excluding) the GBP Range Lower Boundary (1.8867, equal to the GBP Initial Fixing (as defined below) minus 0.0850) to (but excluding) the GBP Range Upper Boundary (2.0467, equal to the GBP Initial Fixing plus 0.0750).  The GBP Initial Fixing is equal to 1.9717, which is the GBP Reference Exchange Rate observed on the date hereof in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option (as defined in “Description of the Notes” below).

The CAD Reference Range is the range from (but excluding) the CAD Range Lower Boundary (1.0451, equal to the CAD Initial Fixing (as defined below) minus 0.0475) to (but excluding) the CAD Range Upper Boundary (1.1401, equal to the CAD Initial Fixing plus 0.0475).  The CAD Initial Fixing is equal to 1.0926, which is the CAD Reference Exchange Rate observed on the date hereof in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option.

You can review the historical performance of the Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar under “Exchange Rates”.

How will I be able to find the value of the Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar at any point in time?

You can obtain the values of the Pound Sterling and the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. dollar at any time by calling your Lehman Brothers sales representative.

Are there any risks associated with my investment?

Yes, the notes will be subject to a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of the MTN prospectus supplement.

What about taxes?

We intend to treat the notes as short-term debt securities as described under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” below and “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Debt Securities—Short-Term Debt Securities” in the base prospectus.

What happens in the event of a Disruption Event?

If a Disruption Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes” below) occurs with respect to a Reference Currency on any day during the Observation Period to but excluding the earlier of (a) 10:00 a.m. EST on the End Date and (b) the time on any day at which either the Continuously Observed GBP Rate first trades outside the GBP Reference Range (or on either the GBP Range Lower Boundary or GBP Range Upper Boundary) or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate first trades outside the CAD Reference Range (or on either the CAD Range Lower Boundary or CAD Range Upper Boundary), and for so long as such Disruption Event is continuing, the Continuously Observed GBP Rate or Continuously Observed CAD Rate, as applicable, for the affected Reference Currency for each such day will be a single GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology, as defined under “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in the MTN prospectus supplement.

What happens in the event of a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event or a Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event?

If a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes” below) occurs with respect to a Reference Currency on any day during the Observation Period to but excluding the earlier of (a) 10:00 a.m. EST on the End Date and (b) the time on any day at which the Continuously Observed GBP Rate first trades outside the GBP Reference Range (or on either the GBP Range Lower Boundary or GBP Range Upper Boundary) or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate first trades outside the CAD Reference Range (or on either the CAD Range Lower Boundary or CAD Range Upper Boundary), and for so long as such Continuous Observation Unavailability Event is continuing, the Continuously Observed GBP Rate or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate, as applicable, for the affected Reference Currency for each such day will be a single daily GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option on that day (subject to the occurrence of a Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes” below)).

If a Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event is in effect on any day during the Observation Period on which the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate is to be observed in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option pursuant

to a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event, as described above, the Calculation Agent will determine the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology.

What is the role of Lehman Brothers Inc.?

Lehman Brothers Inc., one of our subsidiaries, will be the agent and the calculation agent for purposes of determining whether the Additional Amount is payable on the Maturity Date as well as determining whether a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event, Disruption Event or Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event has occurred and is continuing.  Potential conflicts of interest may exist between Lehman Brothers Inc. and you as a beneficial owner of the notes. See “Risk Factors—An affiliate of ours may act as calculation agent on the notes, creating a potential conflict of interest between you and us” in the MTN prospectus supplement and “Description of the Notes” below.

Can you tell me more about the effect of hedging activity by Lehman Brothers Holdings?

We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. This hedging activity will likely involve trading in the Reference Currency or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based on the Reference Currency.

If a Disruption Event occurs with respect to a Reference Currency on any day during the Observation Period to but excluding the earlier of (a) 10:00 a.m. EST on the End Date and (b) the time on any day at which either the Continuously Observed GBP Rate first trades outside the GBP Reference Range (or on either the GBP Range Lower Boundary or GBP Range Upper Boundary) or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate first trades outside the CAD Reference Range (or on either the CAD Range Lower Boundary or CAD Range Upper Boundary), and for so long as such Disruption Event is continuing, the Continuously Observed GBP Rate or Continuously Observed CAD Rate, as applicable, for the affected Reference Currency for each such day will be a single GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology, as defined under “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in the MTN prospectus supplement.

A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:

(A)      the occurrence and/or existence of an event on any day that has the effect of preventing or making impossible the conversion of a Reference Currency into USD through customary legal channels; or

(B)        the occurrence of any event causing either the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or the CAD Reference Exchange Rate to be split into dual or multiple currency exchange rates.

If a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event occurs with respect to a Reference Currency on any day during the Observation Period to but excluding the earlier of (a) 10:00 a.m. EST on the End Date and (b) the time on any day at which the Continuously Observed GBP Rate first trades outside the GBP Reference Range (or on either the GBP Range Lower Boundary or GBP Range Upper Boundary) or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate first trades outside the CAD Reference Range (or on either the CAD Range Lower Boundary or CAD Range Upper Boundary), and for so long as such Continuous Observation Unavailability Event is continuing, the Continuously Observed GBP Rate or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate, as applicable, for the affected Reference Currency for each such day will be a single daily GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option on that day (subject to the occurrence of a Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event).

A “Continuous Observation Unavailability Event” means, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent, (a) with respect to GBP, the Continuously Observed GBP Rate being unavailable, or the occurrence of an event (other than an event constituting a Disruption Event) that generally makes it impossible to obtain the Continuously Observed GBP Rate, on the EBS Spot Dealing System; and (b) with respect to CAD, the Continuously Observed CAD Rate being unavailable, or the occurrence of an event (other than an event constituting a Disruption Event) that generally makes it impossible to obtain the Continuously Observed CAD Rate, on the Reuters DealingLink Spot Dealing System.

If a Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event is in effect on any day during the Observation Period on which the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate is to be observed in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option pursuant to a Continuous Observation Unavailability Event, as described above, the Calculation Agent will determine the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology.

A “Settlement Rate Option Unavailability Event” means, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent, the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or the CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, being unavailable, or the occurrence of an event (other than an event constituting a Disruption Event) that generally makes it impossible to obtain the GBP Reference Exchange Rate or the CAD Reference Exchange Rate, as applicable, in accordance with the Settlement Rate Option on such day.

For further information concerning the Settlement Rate Option and Valuation Business Day, see “Description of the Notes—Currency-Indexed Notes” in, and Appendix A to, the MTN prospectus supplement.

The notes are not subject to redemption at our option or to repayment at the option of the Holders of the notes prior to the Maturity Date.

In case an event of default (as described in the base prospectus) with respect to any note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount that may be declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the notes will be determined by the Calculation Agent for the period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the date of early repayment and will equal, for each note, the Redemption Amount, calculated as though the date of early repayment were the Maturity Date.  If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in respect of Lehman Brothers Holdings, the claim of the beneficial owner of a note for the period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the date of early repayment will be capped at the Redemption Amount, calculated as though the date of the commencement of the proceeding were the Maturity Date.

Any overdue payment in respect of any note will bear interest until the date upon which all sums due in respect of such note are received by or on behalf of the relevant Holder, at the rate per annum that is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of six months that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the first London business day following such failure to pay. Such rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent.  If interest in respect of overdue amounts is calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

The “Calculation Agent” means Lehman Brothers Inc.

EXCHANGE RATES

General

The notes are designed for investors who believe that the British Pound Sterling/U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar/Canadian Dollar spot exchange rates will each trade within separate specified ranges during the Observation Period.

Historical Data on the Reference Exchange Rate

The following chart shows the spot exchange rates for GBP/USD, expressed as the amount of USD per one GBP, and for USD/CAD, expressed as the amount of CAD per one USD, at the end of each week in the period from the week ending May 9, 2004 to the week ending May 13, 2007, using historical data obtained from Reuters; neither Lehman Brothers Inc. nor Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of this data.  The historical data on the GBP/USD and USD/CAD spot exchange rates are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the GBP/USD or USD/CAD spot exchange rates or what the value of the notes may be. In addition, whether the Additional Amount is payable on the Maturity Date is determined based on individual GBP/USD trades observed on the continuous trading EBS Spot Dealing System (the Continuously Observed GBP Rate) and individual USD/CAD trades observed on the continuous trading Reuters DealingLink Spot Dealing System (the Continuously Observed CAD Rate) falling strictly within the GBP Reference Range and CAD Reference Range, respectively, during the Observation Period.  Individual GBP/USD and USD/CAD trades over the course of time will vary higher and lower than the weekly exchange rates shown in the respective following charts. Fluctuations in exchange rates make it difficult to predict whether the Additional Amount will be payable on the Maturity Date. Historical exchange rate fluctuations may be greater or lesser than those experienced by the holders of the notes.

Hypothetical Redemption Amount Payment Examples

The following Redemption Amount payment examples for this note show scenarios for the Redemption Amount that will be payable on the notes, based on hypothetical trading ranges for the Continuously Observed GBP Rate and Continuously Observed CAD Rate during the Observation Period.  The GBP Initial Fixing of 1.9717 and CAD Initial Fixing of 1.0926 were set on the Start Date.  The GBP Range Lower Boundary of 1.8867 (equal to the GBP Initial Fixing minus 0.0850) and the GBP Range Upper Boundary of 2.0467 (equal to the GBP Initial Fixing plus 0.0750) were set on the Start Date; the GBP Reference Range has a total width of 0.1600.  The CAD Range Lower Boundary of 1.0451 (equal to the CAD Initial Fixing minus 0.0475) and the CAD Range Upper Boundary of 1.1401 (equal to the CAD Initial Fixing plus 0.0475) were set on the Start Date; the CAD Reference Range has a total width of 0.0950. The Additional Amount payable on the Maturity Date (provided that the Continuously Observed GBP Rate has traded strictly within the GBP Reference Range and that the Continuously Observed CAD Rate has traded strictly within the CAD Reference Range during the Observation Period) is equal to 1.875% times the principal amount of the notes.

The trading ranges for the Continuously Observed GBP Rate and the Continuously Observed CAD Rate, have been chosen arbitrarily for the purpose of these examples, are not associated with Lehman Brothers Research forecasts for GBP/USD or USD/CAD exchange rates, and should not be taken as indicative of the future performance of the Continuously Observed GBP Rate or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate.  See “Description of the Notes.”

If the Continuously Observed GBP Rate were to trade strictly between (and not equal to) 1.8867 and 2.0467 and the Continuously Observed CAD Rate were to trade strictly between (and not equal to) 1.0451 and 1.1401 at all times during the Observation Period, the investor would receive on the Maturity Date a Redemption Amount equal to 101.875% of the principal amount of notes held by that investor (a return of 1.875%).  However, if either the Continuously Observed GBP Rate were to trade outside the GBP Reference Range (or equal to the GBP Range Lower Boundary or GBP Range Upper Boundary) or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate were to trade outside the CAD Reference Range (or equal to the CAD Range Lower Boundary or CAD Range Upper Boundary) at any time during the Observation Period, the Additional Amount would be zero, even if the other Reference Currency remained strictly within its Reference Range.

For example, if the Continuously Observed GBP Rate were to trade between 1.8600 and 2.0200, or between 1.9500  and 2.0900, or if the Continuously

 

10




 

Observed CAD Rate were to trade between 1.0200 and 1.1200, or between 1.0900 and 1.1800, during the Observation Period (i.e., at some point during the Observation Period either the Continuously Observed GBP Rate trades at or below the applicable GBP Range Lower Boundary or at or above the applicable GBP Range Upper Boundary or the Continuously Observed CAD Rate trades at or below the applicable CAD Range Lower Boundary or at or above the applicable CAD Range Upper Boundary), the Additional Amount would be zero, and the investor would receive on the Maturity Date only the principal amount of the notes held by that investor, with no additional return.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

We intend to treat the notes as short-term debt securities as described under “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Debt Securities—Short-Term Debt Securities” in the base prospectus. The notes could also be subject to special rules relating to foreign currency that could affect the character of the amount received at maturity and the gain or loss realized upon the sale or disposition of the notes. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the treatment of such notes or instruments similar thereto for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the notes. As a result, certain aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in such notes are uncertain. Any differing treatment could affect the amount, timing, and character of income with respect to the notes.

It is not clear to what extent holders required to accrue discount will be required to accrue income with respect to the notes or the extent to which any gain realized by holders on the sale, exchange or maturity of the notes would be treated as capital gain or ordinary income. Gain realized by a holder who has held the notes during their entire term to maturity is likely to be treated as ordinary income. Any loss realized by such holder upon maturity would likely be treated as capital loss, except possibly to the extent of amounts, if any, previously included in income. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of amounts paid in respect of the notes, including the application of special foreign currency rules and rules governing short-term debt securities.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have agreed to sell to Lehman Brothers Inc. (the “Agent”), and the Agent has agreed to purchase from us, the principal amount of the notes at the price specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent is committed to take and pay for all of the notes, if any are taken.

 The Agent proposes to offer the notes initially at a public offering price equal to the public offering price set forth on the cover of the pricing supplement and to certain dealers at a discount to such price. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and the selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Agent.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor more than three business days following the date of this pricing supplement. 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, purchasers who wish to trade the securities on any day prior to the third business day before the settlement date will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement.

If the notes are sold in a market-making transaction after their initial sale, information about the purchase price and the date of the sale will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
