(the “Issuer”). They are designed to track the performance of market indices (net of investor fees) and allow investors to gain exposure to such indices with relative ease. ETNs are listed on major U.S. exchanges and can be traded like any other listed security. There are important differences between exchange traded notes (ETNs), exchange traded funds (ETFs), and index mutual funds (see “ETNs vs Comparable Instruments” in the Learn More section of this website). ETN Returns Opta ETN returns are tied to the performance of an index (e.g., the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index Pure Beta Total Return or the S&P Listed Private Equity Index Net Return). Exposure to underlying index ETN investors receive exposure to the performance of the underlying index. Upon sale, redemption, or maturity of the ETN, the investor receives a cash payment that reflects the performance of the underlying index (net of investor fees). Since ETNs are exchange-traded instruments investors may be able to trade them through a brokerage account, just like exchange-listed stocks. There is no guarantee though that an active and liquid trading market will develop for all ETNs. Distributions and investor fees Typically, there are no periodic coupon payments or cash distributions on ETNs prior to maturity or sale. The Issuer charges investor fees that accrue over the term of the ETN (see the relevant prospectus for details on how investor fees are calculated). Investment Mechanics The “Offerings” section of this website provides investors with an overview of the Opta ETN family, as well as current secondary market data and printer-friendly ETN fact sheets that are updated to show daily performance (as of market close). Investing in ETNs ETNs are securities listed and traded on major U.S. exchanges. They are quoted under their respective ticker symbols just like any other exchange-traded security. Liquidation There are three ways in which investors can realize a return (or loss) on an ETN investment: sell the ETNs on an exchange during trading hours. ETNs can be traded through a brokerage account. they may require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) the ETNs for a cash payment equal to the applicable Indicative Value (subject to minimum size requirements) hold the ETNs until maturity and realize a return (or loss) on investment In each case, the cash proceeds to be received by the investor will be subject to the performance of the underlying index (net of investor fees). Short Selling Investors are allowed to short an ETN on both an up-tick and a down-tick. Securities must be borrowed before they can be sold short. Correlation and your portfolio choicesCorrelation measures the strength of the relationship between the respective performances of two asset classes. Investing in an asset class that has a low correlation to the other investments in your portfolio enhances diversification.

ETNs are not subject to some of the investment restrictions that may affect registered investment companies (RICs), including mutual funds and most exchange-traded funds (ETFs). For instance, because mutual funds and many ETFs face restrictions when investing directly in commodity futures contracts, their ability to provide investors exposure to commodities is limited. ETFs that access commodities indirectly may incur increased costs. ETNs do not face similar restrictions, providing an efficient means to gain exposure to difficult-to-access asset classes in a portfolio. Price Transparency ETNs are designed to provide returns linked to the performance of an underlying index, net of investor fees. In most cases, the underlying index level and corresponding ETN Indicative Value are published throughout the trading day. Investors can access this information through market data services such as Bloomberg and Reuters, and also on the “Opta ETNs Market Data” section of this website. Liquidity Investors can sell their ETNs on an exchange at market price or require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) the ETNs for a cash payment equal to the applicable Indicative Value (subject to minimum size requirements). Tracking Error ETN Issuers are obligated to deliver the index performance less fees (upon redemption or maturity), whereas tracking error in ETFs and index mutual funds is borne by investors. Issuer Credit Risk Opta ETNs are senior, unsecured, debt securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and are not rated separately from the Issuer. Any payment is subject to the Issuer’s capacity to pay. An investment in the ETNs does not reflect an ownership interest in any class of asset comprising the applicable index to which the ETNs are linked. Market Risk ETN investors are exposed to changes in the index to which the ETN is linked. Opta ETNs are structured to reflect the appreciation or depreciation of linked indices in their trading price. In the unlikely event the underlying index level approaches zero, the ETN trading price could theoretically go to zero or trigger a forced redemption. Liquidity Risk Even though they are listed on major U.S. exchanges, there is no guarantee that an active and liquid trading market will develop for all ETNs. Investor Fees The Issuer charges investor fees that accrue through the term of the ETN. As a result, the return of the ETN will be lower than the return of the underlying index (please refer to the relevant prospectus for details on how investor fees are calculated). Interim Payments Typically, Opta ETNs do not provide for any periodic payments or cash distributions until sale, redemption, or maturity. Tax Treatment There may be legislative or other regulatory changes pending related to the tax treatment of an ETN investment. Please see the “Legal, Regulatory and Tax Aspects” section of this website for more information. Continue to “Opta ETNs versus Other Investments” > ¹ An investment in ETNs involves significant risks. Some of those risks are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the specific ETN in the relevant prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you consider investing in ETNs.

They are designed to track indices (net of investor fees) and allow investors to gain exposure to such indices with relative ease. ETNs are listed on exchanges and can be traded through a brokerage account like any other listed security. What advantages do ETNs have over ETFs and index mutual funds?Access—ETNs can offer investors access to market sectors and investment strategies that may be otherwise difficult to reach either through ETFs, index mutual funds or other investment strategies. Efficiency—ETFs and index mutual funds may be subject to restrictions in their investments. ETNs are not bound by the same restrictions and may, therefore, be a more efficient method to get exposure to certain investments. Less tracking error—ETNs may have less tracking error compared to ETFs and index mutual funds. Learn more about ETN Advantages and Considerations. Why do ETNs have a lower tracking error than ETFs and index mutual funds?ETN issuers are obligated to deliver the index performance less fees (upon redemption or maturity), whereas tracking error in ETFs and index mutual funds is borne by investors. What asset classes do Opta ETNs cover?Opta ETNs track a variety of indices in different asset classes, e.g., the LBCI Pure Beta Index (commodities) and the S&P Listed Private Equity Index. ETNs covering other asset classes and strategies are currently in development. New product announcements will be posted on this website. Return to top Trading ETNsWhere can I buy ETNs?As ETNs are exchange-traded securities, they can be bought and sold in the secondary market just like exchange-listed stocks. They can be traded through most standard brokerage accounts. Is there a minimum investment requirement for Opta ETNs?The smallest investment unit is a single ETN. In most cases, the original issue price is $50 per ETN, although any subsequent issues would be at the then-current Indicative Value. What is an ETN’s indicative value? How is it calculated?In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) large blocks of ETNs on a daily basis. The Indicative Value is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to redeem (buy back) the ETNs (subject to a minimum size requirement; please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Annual Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) What determines the market trading price of an ETN? How is this different from the ETN’s indicative value?The market trading price is the price quoted on an exchange for an ETN and is ultimately dictated by supply and demand for the security. The trading price of an ETN may vary from its Indicative Value. The market trading price of Opta ETNs is generally expected to track the Indicative Value due in part to the ability of investors to require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) ETNs for a cash payment equal to the applicable Indicative Value on a daily basis (subject to minimum size requirements). There is however no guarantee that this will be the case as the market trading price may be affected by numerous factors, including the Issuer’s credit rating. Where can an investor find the indicative value and trading price of Opta ETNs?In most cases the Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is calculated and disseminated every 15 seconds during the trading day and is available from the relevant exchanges, financial data services (e.g., Bloomberg and Reuters), and the “Opta ETNs Market Data” section of this website (displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay). The market trading price varies during trading hours and is available from the relevant exchanges and financial data services. Return to top ETN MechanicsWhat is the minimum size required for an investor to require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) the ETNs?Investors may exercise their option to require the Issuer to redeem (buy back) large blocks (typically a minimum of 50,000 Notes) of a particular Opta ETN. Please refer to the relevant prospectus for details regarding the procedure and any applicable charges. Does an ETN investment represent a holding in the tracked index? ETNs do not represent a direct holding in the underlying securities of an index. They are senior, unsecured debt securities and are backed by the credit of the Issuer. However, ETNs are designed to track indices (net of investor fees) and allow investors to conveniently gain exposure to various asset classes. ETN performance is linked to the underlying Index performance because the Issuer stands ready to redeem (buy back) the ETNs at Indicative Value for cash on a daily basis (subject to certain minimum size requirements). Do ETNs carry a credit rating? Is the Indicative Value affected by a change in the Issuer’s credit rating?Opta ETNs are not rated separately from the Issuer, but are backed by the credit of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is determined solely by the level of the underlying index and the investor fees. However, market trading prices may be impacted by a change in the Issuer’s credit rating. Return to top Protect your investment returns against inflationInflation may negatively affect the real returns of your portfolio. Also, equity and fixed income instruments tend to perform poorly during periods of high inflation. Commodity prices, in contrast, tend to move in tandem with rising inflation. Therefore, adding commodity exposure to a portfolio may hedge some of its inflation risk.

It covers energy, metals, agriculture and livestock—the four main segments of the raw materials market. Liquidity and open interest are important factors in index constituent selection. This second generation index is designed to track commodity “spot” returns, and may generate greater returns than first-generation indices. The return of the index reflects the returns of the underlying commodities futures contracts (plus the return on invested cash). Opta Lehman Brothers Commodity Index Pure Beta Total Return ETN returns are based on the performance of the index, less investor fees. The ETN will be available to investors on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).

Because LBCI Pure Beta was launched on October 10, 2007, it has little trading history and limited actual historical information with respect to its performance. Historical performance information for LBCI Pure Beta is based on (a) hypothetical daily historical levels for the Index from January 31, 2001, to October 10, 2007, calculated based on a level for the Index that was set to 100 on June 30, 2006 (to correspond to the initial levels of the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index, which was set to 100 as of that date), and using the same objective criteria that will be used by the Index going forward, as well as actual observable data for the relevant index contracts, and (b) actual daily historical levels for the Index from October 10, 2007 to February 5, 2008. Neither the hypothetical nor actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta are indicative of its future performance, the final index value, or the value of the related ETNs. Fluctuations in the hypothetical or actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta may be greater or lesser than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the related ETNs. 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 free writing prospectus together with the pricing supplement dated February 14, 2008 and the accompanying base prospectus dated May 30, 2006, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Opta ETNs are a part. Buyers should rely upon the accompanying base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement, this free writing prospectus and any other relevant terms supplement for complete details. The pricing supplement, together with the base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the Notes and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Opta ETNs. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among this free writing prospectus, the pricing supplement, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement shall supersede this free writing prospectus, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Opta ETNs. You may get these documents and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or through the links below or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks. Index Sector Allocations The chart aids the investor in understanding the sector distribution of market exposure gained through the index to which the specific Opta ETN links. This information is updated daily. Index Top Holdings This chart lists the constituents that receive the highest weightings in the index to which the specific Opta ETN links.

It covers energy, metals, agriculture and livestock—the four main segments of the raw materials market. Liquidity and open interest are important factors in index constituent selection. This second generation index is designed to track commodity “spot” returns, and may generate greater returns than first-generation indices. The return of the index reflects the returns of the underlying commodities futures contracts (plus the return on invested cash).

Because LBCI Pure Beta was launched on October 10, 2007, it has little trading history and limited actual historical information with respect to its performance. Historical performance information for LBCI Pure Beta is based on (a) hypothetical daily historical levels for the Index from January 31, 2001, to October 10, 2007, calculated based on a level for the Index that was set to 100 on June 30, 2006 (to correspond to the initial levels of the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index, which was set to 100 as of that date), and using the same objective criteria that will be used by the Index going forward, as well as actual observable data for the relevant index contracts, and (b) actual daily historical levels for the Index from October 10, 2007 to February 5, 2008. Neither the hypothetical nor actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta are indicative of its future performance, the final index value, or the value of the related ETNs. Fluctuations in the hypothetical or actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta may be greater or lesser than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the related ETNs. 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 free writing prospectus together with the pricing supplement dated February 14, 2008 and the accompanying base prospectus dated May 30, 2006, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Opta ETNs are a part. Buyers should rely upon the accompanying base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement, this free writing prospectus and any other relevant terms supplement for complete details. The pricing supplement, together with the base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the Notes and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Opta ETNs. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among this free writing prospectus, the pricing supplement, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement shall supersede this free writing prospectus, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Opta ETNs. You may get these documents and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or through the links below or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks. Index Sector Allocations The chart aids the investor in understanding the sector distribution of market exposure gained through the index to which the specific Opta ETN links. This information is updated daily. Index Top Holdings This chart lists the constituents that receive the highest weightings in the index to which the specific Opta ETN links.

Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks. Index Sector Allocations The chart aids the investor in understanding the sector distribution of market exposure gained through the index to which the specific Opta ETN links. This information is updated daily. Index Top Holdings This chart lists the constituents that receive the highest weightings in the index to which the specific Opta ETN links.

The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks.

The index is currently composed of eight futures contracts broken down into grains (corn, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybeans, and wheat) and softs (coffee, cotton, and sugar). Liquidity and open interest are important factors in index constituent selection. This second-generation index is designed to track commodity “spot” returns, and may generate greater returns than first-generation indices. The returns of the index reflect the returns of the underlying agricultural commodities futures contracts (plus the return on invested cash).

This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days.

The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR.

Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks. Index Sector Allocations The chart aids the investor in understanding the sector distribution of market exposure gained through the index to which the specific Opta ETN links. This information is updated daily. Index Top Holdings This chart lists the constituents that receive the highest weightings in the index to which the specific Opta ETN links.

Because LBCI Pure Beta was launched on October 10, 2007, it has little trading history and limited actual historical information with respect to its performance. Historical performance information for LBCI Pure Beta is based on (a) hypothetical daily historical levels for the Index from January 31, 2001, to October 10, 2007, calculated based on a level for the Index that was set to 100 on June 30, 2006 (to correspond to the initial levels of the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index, which was set to 100 as of that date), and using the same objective criteria that will be used by the Index going forward, as well as actual observable data for the relevant index contracts, and (b) actual daily historical levels for the Index from October 10, 2007 to February 5, 2008. Neither the hypothetical nor actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta are indicative of its future performance, the final index value, or the value of the related ETNs. Fluctuations in the hypothetical or actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta may be greater or lesser than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the related ETNs. 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 free writing prospectus together with the pricing supplement dated February 14, 2008 and the accompanying base prospectus dated May 30, 2006, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Opta ETNs are a part. Buyers should rely upon the accompanying base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement, this free writing prospectus and any other relevant terms supplement for complete details. The pricing supplement, together with the base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the Notes and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Opta ETNs. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among this free writing prospectus, the pricing supplement, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement shall supersede this free writing prospectus, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement.

Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks.

It covers energy, metals, agriculture and livestock—the four main segments of the raw materials market. Liquidity and open interest are important factors in index constituent selection. This second generation index is designed to track commodity “spot” returns, and may generate greater returns than first-generation indices. The return of the index reflects the returns of the underlying commodities futures contracts (plus the return on invested cash). Opta Lehman Brothers Commodity Index Pure Beta Total Return ETN returns are based on the performance of the index, less investor fees.

Because LBCI Pure Beta was launched on October 10, 2007, it has little trading history and limited actual historical information with respect to its performance. Historical performance information for LBCI Pure Beta is based on (a) hypothetical daily historical levels for the Index from January 31, 2001, to October 10, 2007, calculated based on a level for the Index that was set to 100 on June 30, 2006 (to correspond to the initial levels of the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index, which was set to 100 as of that date), and using the same objective criteria that will be used by the Index going forward, as well as actual observable data for the relevant index contracts, and (b) actual daily historical levels for the Index from October 10, 2007 to February 5, 2008. Neither the hypothetical nor actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta are indicative of its future performance, the final index value, or the value of the related ETNs. Fluctuations in the hypothetical or actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta may be greater or lesser than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the related ETNs. 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 free writing prospectus together with the pricing supplement dated February 14, 2008 and the accompanying base prospectus dated May 30, 2006, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Opta ETNs are a part. Buyers should rely upon the accompanying base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement, this free writing prospectus and any other relevant terms supplement for complete details. The pricing supplement, together with the base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the Notes and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Opta ETNs. To the extent that there are any inconsistencies among this free writing prospectus, the pricing supplement, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement, the pricing supplement shall supersede this free writing prospectus, the base prospectus and the MTN prospectus supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Opta ETNs. You may get these documents and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or through the links below or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. You can view the three indices over various time periods (1 week, 1 month and 1 year) to compare index performance to these equity and bond market benchmarks.

Because LBCI Pure Beta was launched on October 10, 2007, it has little trading history and limited actual historical information with respect to its performance. Historical performance information for LBCI Pure Beta is based on (a) hypothetical daily historical levels for the Index from January 31, 2001, to October 10, 2007, calculated based on a level for the Index that was set to 100 on June 30, 2006 (to correspond to the initial levels of the Lehman Brothers Commodity Index, which was set to 100 as of that date), and using the same objective criteria that will be used by the Index going forward, as well as actual observable data for the relevant index contracts, and (b) actual daily historical levels for the Index from October 10, 2007 to February 5, 2008. Neither the hypothetical nor actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta are indicative of its future performance, the final index value, or the value of the related ETNs. Fluctuations in the hypothetical or actual historical levels of the LBCI Pure Beta may be greater or lesser than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the related ETNs. 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 free writing prospectus together with the pricing supplement dated February 14, 2008 and the accompanying base prospectus dated May 30, 2006, as supplemented by the MTN prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2006 relating to our Series I medium-term notes of which the Opta ETNs are a part.

The pricing supplement, together with the base prospectus and MTN prospectus supplement, contain the terms of the Notes and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications concerning the Opta ETNs.

Close Window ETN Details This section provides information regarding the specific Opta ETN. It is useful for accessing secondary market data for the ETN. This data is also available from data services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. Market Data This section contains recent secondary market data for the specific Opta ETN. The data is refreshed every 15 seconds and displayed with a 20 minute minimum delay. The Last Traded Price indicates the latest market trading price of the ETN. Change refers to the percentage change in the market trading price over the previous trading day’s close. High refers to the highest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Low refers to the lowest trading price recorded during the current or most recent trading day. Together the day high and low indicate the range within which the ETN trading price moved during the day. The Current Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is the latest IIV for the ETN. The Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN, and is the price at which the Issuer stands ready to repurchase the ETNs on a daily basis (subject to a minimum size requirement of 50,000 notes. Please see the relevant prospectus for details). The ETN IIV is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Average Volume is the average of the trading volumes recorded over the last ten trading days. Market Capitalization is the total dollar value of all notes outstanding for a particular Opta ETN (number of notes outstanding times the market trading price per note). Redemption In addition to being able to trade ETNs on an exchange, investors also have the option to sell large blocks of ETNs back to the issuer on a daily basis. The minimum size required for selling directly to the Issuer is 50,000 notes (please see the relevant prospectus for details). On selling directly to the Issuer, the investor receives a cash amount equal to the closing Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) on the valuation date. The IIV is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of an Opta ETN and is calculated as follows: Intraday Indicative Value = Principal Amount per ETN * (Current Index Level/Index Level at Inception) * Fee Factor Where: Principal Amount per ETN = $50 Fee Factor = (1- Investor Fee) ^ (Number of days elapsed since inception/365) Valuation Date refers to the first trading day after the applicable notice deadline date. The notice deadline date is the business day on which investors wish to exercise their right to require the Issuer to redeem their ETNs (please see the relevant prospectus for details). Correlations Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It explains the tendency of the return of two assets moving together. The measurement can range from -100% to +100%. Within this range, high positive correlations imply a positive association between asset returns, while high negative correlations are indicative of an inverse relationship. Low positive or negative correlation values denote a weak relationship between asset returns. This section displays the correlations of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with the S&P 500 Index TR and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index TR. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Annualized Returns Annualized return is the average return that an investment must earn in each year of a multi-year period to yield the same result as the actual cumulative return for the multi-year period (assuming returns are compounded annually). Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of investment risk — the higher the standard deviation of returns, the higher the risk. It reflects the average deviation of all the observations from their sample mean. Calculations are updated daily, and refer to the latest market close. Performance This graph compares the performance of the index to which the specific Opta ETN links with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

The return of the index reflects the returns of the underlying commodities futures contracts (plus the return on invested cash).

Important Opta Exchange Traded Notes Disclosure An investment in Opta Exchange Traded Notes (“Opta ETNs” or the “Notes”) involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. The Notes are unsecured debt obligations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and are not secured debt. The Notes are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Notes include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Notes even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in Opta ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. Lehman Brothers Inc., an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., assists in the promotion of Opta ETNs. The Notes may be sold throughout the day on the relevant exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum principal balance of Notes you may redeem directly with the Issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Historical security prices are provided for your information only. If obtained from third parties, they are based upon information that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. considers reliable, but no representation is made that they are accurate or complete, and they should not be relied upon as such.

Benefit Plan Investor Considerations A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s business, it is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the Notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief was available under an applicable class, statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited. Accordingly, the Notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the Notes is not prohibited, such as the exemption for certain transactions involving non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”). Each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the Notes on behalf of any such purchaser or holder, by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), on each day from the date on which such purchaser, holder or person acquires its interest in the Notes to the date on which such purchaser, holder or person disposes of its interest in the Notes, that (a)(i) its purchase and holding of the Notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or Plan Asset Entity or (ii) it is a Plan or Plan Asset Entity and its purchase and holding of the Notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (b) neither Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the Notes or has provided any advice that has formed or may form a primary basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption, or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding is not prohibited.

Important Opta Exchange Traded Notes DisclosureAn investment in Opta Exchange Traded Notes (“Opta ETNs” or the “Notes”) involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. The Notes are unsecured debt obligations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and are not secured debt. The Notes are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Notes include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Notes even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in Opta ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. Lehman Brothers Inc., an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., assists in the promotion of Opta ETNs. The Notes may be sold throughout the day on the relevant exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum principal balance of Notes you may redeem directly with the Issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Historical security prices are provided for your information only. If obtained from third parties, they are based upon information that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. considers reliable, but no representation is made that they are accurate or complete, and they should not be relied upon as such. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliates, including Lehman Brothers Inc., do not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed to be tax advice. Please be advised that any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained herein (including any attachments) (i) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by you for the purpose of avoiding U.S. tax-related penalties; and (ii) was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or other matters addressed herein.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis website may contain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s control. It is possible that actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in any such forward-looking statements. Information regarding important factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those in any such forward-looking statements is contained in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You may get this document and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Benefit Plan Investor ConsiderationsA fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s business, it is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the Notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief was available under an applicable class, statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited. Accordingly, the Notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the Notes is not prohibited, such as the exemption for certain transactions involving non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”). Each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the Notes on behalf of any such purchaser or holder, by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), on each day from the date on which such purchaser, holder or person acquires its interest in the Notes to the date on which such purchaser, holder or person disposes of its interest in the Notes, that (a)(i) its purchase and holding of the Notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or Plan Asset Entity or (ii) it is a Plan or Plan Asset Entity and its purchase and holding of the Notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (b) neither Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the Notes or has provided any advice that has formed or may form a primary basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption, or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding is not prohibited.

Important Opta Exchange Traded Notes DisclosureAn investment in Opta Exchange Traded Notes (“Opta ETNs” or the “Notes”) involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. The Notes are unsecured debt obligations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and are not secured debt. The Notes are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Notes include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Notes even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in Opta ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. Lehman Brothers Inc., an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., assists in the promotion of Opta ETNs. The Notes may be sold throughout the day on the relevant exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum principal balance of Notes you may redeem directly with the Issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Historical security prices are provided for your information only. If obtained from third parties, they are based upon information that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. considers reliable, but no representation is made that they are accurate or complete, and they should not be relied upon as such. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliates, including Lehman Brothers Inc., do not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed to be tax advice. Please be advised that any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained herein (including any attachments) (i) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by you for the purpose of avoiding U.S. tax-related penalties; and (ii) was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or other matters addressed herein. Accordingly, you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. “Standard & Poor’s, “ “S&P, “ “S&P 500” and “S&P Listed Private Equity Index® Net Return” are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and are expected to be licensed for use by Lehman Brothers Inc. and sub-licensed for use by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis website may contain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s control. It is possible that actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in any such forward-looking statements. Information regarding important factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those in any such forward-looking statements is contained in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You may get this document and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Benefit Plan Investor ConsiderationsA fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s business, it is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the Notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief was available under an applicable class, statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited. Accordingly, the Notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the Notes is not prohibited, such as the exemption for certain transactions involving non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”). Each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the Notes on behalf of any such purchaser or holder, by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), on each day from the date on which such purchaser, holder or person acquires its interest in the Notes to the date on which such purchaser, holder or person disposes of its interest in the Notes, that (a)(i) its purchase and holding of the Notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or Plan Asset Entity or (ii) it is a Plan or Plan Asset Entity and its purchase and holding of the Notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (b) neither Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the Notes or has provided any advice that has formed or may form a primary basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption, or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding is not prohibited.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis website may contain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s control. It is possible that actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in any such forward-looking statements. Information regarding important factors that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those in any such forward-looking statements is contained in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You may get this document and other documents Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has filed for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR®) at www.sec.gov, with “Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.” as a search term or by calling Lehman Brothers Inc. toll-free at 1-888-603-5847. Benefit Plan Investor ConsiderationsA fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Notes. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s business, it is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the Notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief was available under an applicable class, statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited. Accordingly, the Notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the Notes is not prohibited, such as the exemption for certain transactions involving non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”). Each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the Notes on behalf of any such purchaser or holder, by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), on each day from the date on which such purchaser, holder or person acquires its interest in the Notes to the date on which such purchaser, holder or person disposes of its interest in the Notes, that (a)(i) its purchase and holding of the Notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or Plan Asset Entity or (ii) it is a Plan or Plan Asset Entity and its purchase and holding of the Notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (b) neither Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the Notes or has provided any advice that has formed or may form a primary basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption, or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding is not prohibited.

Important Opta Exchange Traded Notes DisclosureAn investment in Opta Exchange Traded Notes (“Opta ETNs” or the “Notes”) involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. The Notes are unsecured debt obligations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and are not secured debt. The Notes are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Notes include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Notes even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in Opta ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. Lehman Brothers Inc., an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., assists in the promotion of Opta ETNs. The Notes may be sold throughout the day on the relevant exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum principal balance of Notes you may redeem directly with the Issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus or other relevant offering document. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Historical security prices are provided for your information only.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s business, it is a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of its subsidiaries), the purchase and holding of the Notes by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief was available under an applicable class, statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited. Accordingly, the Notes may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the Notes is not prohibited, such as the exemption for certain transactions involving non-fiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”). Each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein, and each person making the decision to purchase or hold the Notes on behalf of any such purchaser or holder, by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein, will be deemed to have represented and warranted in both its individual capacity and its representative capacity (if any), on each day from the date on which such purchaser, holder or person acquires its interest in the Notes to the date on which such purchaser, holder or person disposes of its interest in the Notes, that (a)(i) its purchase and holding of the Notes is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or Plan Asset Entity or (ii) it is a Plan or Plan Asset Entity and its purchase and holding of the Notes will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (b) neither Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA in connection with the purchase or holding of the Notes or has provided any advice that has formed or may form a primary basis for any investment decision concerning the purchase or holding of the Notes. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the Notes or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted by its purchase or holding of the Notes or any interest therein that such purchase and holding does not violate any applicable Similar Laws or rules. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption, or some other basis on which the acquisition and holding is not prohibited.
