Lehman Brothers Inc. has agreed to purchase $3,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes minus a commission equal to $6.25 per $1,000 principal amount, or 0.625%.  Lehman Brothers Inc. proposes to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of each sale.  Lehman Brothers Inc. may also use all or a portion of its commissions on the Notes to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers.

 

The price at which Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has agreed to sell the Notes to Lehman Brothers Inc. includes Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s cost of hedging its obligations under the

On the Issue Date, we may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, issue additional notes similar to these Notes in all respects. Following the Issue Date, we may, without the consent of the holders of Notes, create and issue additional notes similar to these Notes in all respects except for the Issue Date and the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date of such additional notes.

If the CPI is (a) not calculated and announced by the Sponsor but is calculated and announced by a successor sponsor or (b) replaced by a successor index, then the CPI will be deemed to be the index so calculated and announced by that successor sponsor or that successor index, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the fact that the published CPI to be used in any calculation of CPI Initial or CPI Final is subsequently revised by the Sponsor, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Interest Rate payable using the CPI published prior to any such revision; provided however, that if such revision is made in order to correct a manifest error (as determined by the Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall use the CPI as so corrected.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Notes entails certain risks not associated with an investment in conventional floating rate or fixed rate medium-term notes.  See “Risk Factors” generally in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

We intend to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments, as described under “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Variable Rate Debt Instruments” in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

 

The CPI for purposes of the Notes is the non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index published monthly by the Sponsor, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Bureau of Labor Statistics makes the majority of its consumer price index data and press releases publicly available immediately at the time of release. The CPI is published by the Sponsor on their internet website www.bls.gov/cpi/home.htm, and currently available for references purposes only on Bloomberg Screen CPURNSA.

 

According to publicly available information, the CPI is a measure of the average change in consumer prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services, including food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, drugs and charges for the services of doctors and dentists. User fees (such as water and sewer service) and sales and excise taxes paid by the consumer are included in determining consumer prices. Income taxes and investment items such as stocks, bonds and life insurance are not included. The CPI includes expenditures by urban wage earners and clerical workers, professional, managerial and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, retirees and others not in the labor force. In calculating the CPI, price changes for the various items are averaged together with weights that represent their significance in the spending of urban households in the United States. The contents of the market basket of goods and services and the weights assigned to the various items are updated periodically to take into account changes in consumer expenditure patterns. The CPI is expressed in relative terms based on a reference period for which the level is set at 100. At present, the base reference period used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is 1982-1984.

 

The CPI itself and the way the Sponsor calculates the CPI may change in the future or the CPI may no longer be published. There can be no assurance that the Sponsor will not change the method by which it calculates the CPI.

 

Historical CPI Information

 

Historical levels of the CPI are not an indication of the future levels of the CPI during the term of the Notes. In the past, the CPI has experienced periods of volatility, and such volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations and trends in the CPI that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations that may occur in the future. Holders of the Notes will

 

6



 

receive interest payments that will be affected by changes in the CPI and such changes may be significant. The level and direction of the CPI is a function of the changes in specified consumer prices over time and depends on a number of interrelated factors, including economic, financial and political events, over which Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has no control.

 

The following table shows, for illustrative purposes, the historical monthly levels of the CPI from March 1998 to March 2008, as reported by the Sponsor and published on Bloomberg Screen CPURNSA, as well as the percentage change of each monthly CPI level as compared to the CPI level in the prior year.  Neither Lehman Brothers Inc. nor Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the CPI data in the table below.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Lehman Brothers Holdings has agreed to sell to Lehman Brothers Inc. (the “Agent”), and the Agent has agreed to purchase from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. 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 from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of each sale.  The Agent may also use all or a portion of its commissions on the Notes to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers not to exceed 0.625%. 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 Issue 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.
