affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to any hedges.

 

 

The notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 and will form a single tranche with the $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes, Series I, due March 10, 2023 that Lehman Brothers Holdings will issue on March 10, 2008. The notes will have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the other notes of this tranche and will settle on the same date as, and trade interchangeably with, the other notes of this tranche. The issuance of the notes will increase the aggregate principal amount of this tranche to $8,000,000.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. intends to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments, as described under “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the Series I MTN prospectus supplement.

 

Historical Levels of 6-Month LIBOR

 

The following table, showing the historical level of 6m USD LIBORREF in effect on the Original Trade Date and on the hypothetical Interest Payment Dates listed below; the Interest Rate payable on any Interest Payment Date for the notes, however, will be determined based on 6m USD LIBORREF in effect on each day during the related Interest Period.  The historical experience of 6m USD LIBORREF should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of 6m USD LIBORREF during the term of the notes. Fluctuations in the level of 6m USD LIBORREF make the notes’ effective Interest Rate difficult to predict and can result in an effective Interest Rate to investors that are lower than anticipated. In addition, historical interest rates are not necessarily indicative of future interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates and interest rate trends that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations that may occur in the future, which may be wider or narrower than those that have occurred historically.
