SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. and the other agents set forth below (collectively, the “Agents”), Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has agreed to sell to the Agents, and each of the Agents has agreed severally to purchase, the principal amounts of Notes set forth opposite its name below:

of the Notes

 

Lehman Brothers Inc.

 

$

98,000,000

 

Santander Investment Securities Inc

 

1,000,000

 

La Salle Financial Services, Inc.

 

1,000,000

 

Total

 

$

100,000,000

 

 

Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Agents are committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.  The Agents propose to offer the Notes initially at a public offering price equal to the Issue Price set forth above and may offer the Notes to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.15% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Agents may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of 0.075% of the principal amount of the notes on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Agents.

Lehman Brothers Holdings will pay certain expenses, expected to be approximately $75,000, associated with the offer and sale of the Notes.

Certain of the Agents and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, investment banking and/or general financing and/or banking services to Lehman Brothers Holdings and its affiliates, for which they have in the past received, and may in the future receive, customary fees.

Certain of the Agents may not be U.S. registered broker-dealers and accordingly will not effect any sales within the United States except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the rules of the NASD.

Certain of the Agents may make the securities available for distribution on the Internet through a proprietary website and/or a third-party system operated by Market Axess Corporation, an Internet-based communications technology provider.  Market Axess Corporation is providing the system as a conduit for communications between such Agents and their customers and is not a party to this offering. Market Axess Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, will receive compensation from such Agents based on transactions that such Agents conduct through the system.  Such Agents will make the securities available to their customers through the Internet distributions, whether made through a proprietary or third-party system, on the same terms as distributions made through other channels.

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.
