Bearish Autocallable Optimization Securities with Contingent Protection Linked to the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index

Tactical Solution for Flat or Bearish Markets

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. $37,808,210 Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index due June 30, 2009

 

Investment Description

The Bearish Autocallable Optimization Securities with Contingent Protection Linked to the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index (the “Notes”) are designed for investors who want to express a bearish view of the U.S. consumer industry through an investment linked to the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index (the “Index”). If the closing level of the Index on any quarterly Observation Date is at or below the Index Starting Level, the Notes will be called for an annualized return of 30%. If the Notes are not called, at maturity you will receive your principal, unless the Index closes above the Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, in which case you will receive a payment equal to the principal amount of your Notes reduced by a percentage equal to the Index Return. Investors must be willing to risk losing up to 100% of their investment.

 

Features

 

  q  

Positive Call Return in Flat or Bearish Scenarios—If the closing level of the Index on any Observation Date is at or below the Index Starting Level, the Notes will be called and you will receive a positive return on your investment.

 

  q  

Contingent Principal Protection—If the Notes are not called, at maturity the contingent principal protection feature protects your principal if the Index closing level was not above the Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period.

 

  q  

Express a Bearish View of the U.S. Consumer Sector—The Notes are linked to the Index, which as of November 30, 2007 consisted of 88 companies involved in the U.S. consumer sector and represents both a manufacturing segment, including automotive, household durable goods, textiles and apparel and leisure equipment, and a services segment, including hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, media production and services, and consumer retailing and services.

Additional Information about Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Notes

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed a registration statement (including a base prospectus) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for this offering. Before you invest, you should read this pricing supplement together with the base prospectus, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement relating to our Series I medium-term notes, of which the Notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 560-I (which supplements the description of the general terms of the Notes) and underlying supplement no. 1060 (which describes the Index, including risk factors specific to it). Buyers should rely upon the base prospectus, the MTN prospectus supplement, product supplement no. 560-I, underlying supplement no. 1060, this pricing supplement, any other relevant terms supplement and any other relevant free writing prospectus for complete details. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the Notes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Notes. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among the documents listed below, this pricing supplement shall supersede product supplement no. 560-I, which shall, likewise, supersede the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 560-I and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1060, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Notes.

What are the tax consequences of the Notes?

There is no statutory, judicial or administrative authority that directly addresses the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization and treatment of securities similar to the Notes. No ruling is being sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization and treatment of the Notes. You should also be aware that our special tax counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, has not provided us with an opinion regarding the proper characterization of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization and treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. intends to treat, and by purchasing a Note, for all tax purposes, you agree to treat, a Note as a cash-settled financial contract, rather than as a debt instrument.

On December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released a Notice indicating that the IRS and the Treasury Department are considering and seeking comments as to whether holders of instruments commonly referred to as prepaid forward contracts and similar instruments should be required to accrue income on a current basis over the term of the instruments, regardless of whether any payments are made prior to their maturity. In addition, the Notice provides that the IRS and the Treasury Department are considering related issues, including, among other things, whether gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax, whether the tax treatment of such instruments should vary depending upon the nature of the underlying asset, and whether such instruments should be subject to the special “constructive ownership rules” contained in Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Notice provided that the government is considering whether arrangements similar to prepaid forward contracts (which could possibly include instruments having terms similar to the Notes) should be accorded tax treatment similar to prepaid forward contracts. It is not possible to predict what changes, if any, will be adopted, or when they will take effect. Any such changes could affect the amount, timing and character of income, gain or loss in respect of the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the impact of the Notice on their investment in the Notes. Subject to future developments with respect to the foregoing, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. intends to continue to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described in the accompanying product supplement 560-I under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 560-I.

 

Key Risks

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any of the stocks included in the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 560-I and in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1060. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the suitability of an investment in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances.

 

  ¨  

Potentially Full Market Risk; You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: If the Index level closes above the Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, you are fully exposed to any increase in the level of the Index (as measured by the Index Return). IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU WILL LOSE 1% OF YOUR PRINCIPAL AT MATURITY FOR EVERY 1% INCREASE IN THE INDEX, UP TO 100% OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

 

  ¨  

Limited Return on the Notes: Your potential gain on a $10 principal amount Note will be limited to the Call Price applicable for an Observation Date (less the $10 initial investment), regardless of the depreciation in the Index, which may be significant. Similarly, because the determination of whether the Notes will be called will be based on the Index closing level on a limited number of Observation Dates prior to the Maturity Date, and because, if the Notes are not called, the Index Ending Level will be based on the Index closing level on the last Observation Date (i.e., the Final Valuation Date), your return may be adversely affected by a sudden or temporary increase in the Index closing level on any or all of the Observation Dates. Conversely, you will not benefit from lower Index closing levels at any time during the term of the Notes other than on the Observation Dates. As a result, you may receive a lower return on the Notes than you would receive if you were to take a position in the stocks underlying the Index or in contracts relating to the Index.

 

  ¨  

No Assurances of Negative-Return Environment: While the Notes are structured to provide potentially enhanced returns in a negative-return environment, we cannot assure you of the economic environment during the term or at maturity of your Notes.

 

  ¨  

Dealer Incentives: We, our affiliates and agents act in various capacities with respect to the Notes. Lehman Brothers Inc. and other of our affiliates may act as a principal, agent or dealer in connection with the Notes. Such affiliates, including the sales representatives, will derive compensation from the distribution of the Notes, and such compensation may serve as an incentive to sell the Notes instead of other investments. We will pay compensation of $0.15 per Note to the principals, agents and dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes.

 

  ¨  

Lack of Liquidity: The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Lehman Brothers Inc. intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Lehman Brothers Inc. is willing to buy the Notes. If you are an employee of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or one of our affiliates, you may not be able to purchase the Notes from us and your ability to sell or trade the Notes in the secondary market may be limited.

 

  ¨  

Potential Conflicts: We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

 

  ¨  

Reinvestment Risk: If your Notes are called early, the holding period over which you would receive the per annum return of 30.00% could be as little as three months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk following an early call.

 

5


  ¨  

No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights: As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of stocks included in the Index would have.

 

  ¨  

Certain Built-in Costs are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity: While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates, which includes our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge as well as the profit our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. As a result, the price, if any, at which Lehman Brothers Inc. will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO HOLD YOUR NOTES TO MATURITY.

 

 

¨

 

We and our Affiliates and Agents May Publish Research, Express Opinions or Provide Recommendations that are Inconsistent with Investing in or Holding the Notes. Any Such Research, Opinions or Recommendations Could Affect the Level of the Index and, Consequently, the Value of the Notes: We, our affiliates and agents publish research from time to time on matters that may influence the value of the Notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that may be inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. We, our affiliates and agents may publish or may have published research or other opinions that are inconsistent with an investment position in the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by us, our affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Additionally, UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliates may publish or may have published research or other opinions that are inconsistent with an investment position in the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Notes.

 

 

¨

 

We Cannot Control Actions by the Companies Whose Stocks or Other Equity Securities are Represented in the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index: We are not affiliated with any of the companies whose stocks are represented in the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index. As a result, we will have no ability to control the actions of such companies, including actions that could affect the value of the stocks underlying the Index or your Notes. None of the money you pay us will go to any of the companies represented in the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index, and none of those companies will be involved in the offering of the Notes in any way. None of the companies will have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your Notes.

 

  ¨  

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes: In addition to the level of the Index on any day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other and which are set out in more detail in product supplement no. 560-I.

 

  ¨  

Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation before investing in the Notes.

 

  ¨  

Your Investment is Concentrated in One Industry: All of the securities included in the Index are issued by companies that are in the U.S. consumer sector, which provide significant exposure to industries that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.

 

  ¨  

Credit of Issuer: An investment in the Notes will be subject to the credit risk of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., and the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may affect the market value of the Notes.

The S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index

 

The S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index (the “S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index”) is published by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. As discussed more fully in underlying supplement no. 1060 under the heading “The S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index,” the S&P 500® Consumer Discretionary Index is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movements of companies of the S&P 500 Index that are involved in the production or provision of consumer products and services.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

We have agreed to sell to UBS Financial Services Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. (together, the “Agents”), and the Agents will agree to purchase, all of the Notes at the price indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement. UBS Financial Services Inc. may allow a concession not in excess of the underwriting discount to its affiliates.

We have agreed to indemnify the Agents against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Agents may be required to make relating to these liabilities as described in the MTN prospectus supplement and the base prospectus. We have agreed that UBS Financial Services Inc. may sell all or a part of the Notes that it purchases from us to its affiliates at the price that will be indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement.

Subject to regulatory constraints, Lehman Brothers Inc. has agreed to use reasonable efforts to make a market in the Notes for so long as the Notes are outstanding.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment on or about December 31, 2007, which is the ninth business day following the Trade Date. 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 notes on the Trade Date, it will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle on the ninth business day following the Trade Date, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

We have, or our affiliate has, entered into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one or more of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Notes, and the Agents and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions.
