ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) in a jointly administered case named In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., et. al. under Case Number 08-13555 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). As further disclosed previously, certain of the Registrant’s subsidiaries (collectively with the Registrant, the “Debtors”) have also each filed a case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Debtors continue to operate as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On April 14, 2010, the Debtors filed with the Court a proposed disclosure statement and chapter 11 plan (with certain revisions to the chapter 11 plan previously filed by the Debtors on March 15, 2010).

On January 25, 2011, the Debtors filed with the Court their first amended chapter 11 plan (the “Amended Plan”) and a disclosure statement for the Amended Plan. On June 29, 2011, the Debtors filed with the Court their second amended chapter 11 plan (the “Second Amended Plan”) and a disclosure statement for the Second Amended Plan. On July 1, 2011, the Debtors filed a revised Second Amended Plan and the disclosure statement for the revised Second Amended Plan. On September 1, 2011, the Debtors filed with the Court their third amended chapter 11 plan (the “Third Amended Plan”) and a disclosure statement for the Third Amended Plan (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Disclosure Statement includes, among other things, (i) a summary and explanation of the Third Amended Plan, (ii) information regarding the claims filed against the Debtors, (iii) the estimated recoveries for the holders of claims against the Debtors under the terms of the Third Amended Plan, (iv) estimated recoveries for holders of claims against the Debtors if the Debtors’ assets are liquidated pursuant to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (v) information regarding procedures for voting to accept or reject the Third Amended Plan, and (vi) other general information regarding the Debtors and certain events during their chapter 11 cases. A copy of the Disclosure Statement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Third Amended Plan is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On September 1, 2011, the Court entered an order (the “Disclosure Statement Order”) approving the Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information of a kind and in sufficient detail to enable a hypothetical creditor to make an informed judgment whether to accept or reject the Third Amended Plan. Pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order, the Debtors are authorized to begin solicitation of acceptances of the Third Amended Plan in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with

respect to the Registrant’s financial condition, results of operations, and business that is not historical information. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon future or anticipated events or trends and expectations and beliefs relating to matters that are not historical in nature. The words “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” or “anticipate” and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could,” often identify forward-looking statements. The Registrant believes there is a reasonable basis for its expectations and beliefs, but they are inherently uncertain, and the Registrant may not realize its expectations and its beliefs may not prove correct. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Registrant’s actual results and future financial condition may differ materially from those described or implied by any such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors that may be outside the Registrant’s control. Such factors include, without limitation: (i) the ability of the Registrant to develop, prosecute, confirm, and consummate any plan of reorganization or liquidation with respect to the Chapter 11 Case; (ii) the Registrant’s ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Case; (iii) risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee; and (iv) the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Case on the Registrant’s liquidity or results of operations. This list is not intended to be exhaustive.

The Registrant’s informational filings with the Court are available to the public at the office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, Alexander Hamilton Custom House, One Bowling Green, New York, New York 10004-1408. Such informational filings may be available electronically, for a fee, through the Court’s Internet world wide web site (www.nysb.uscourts.gov), and/or free of cost, at a world wide web site maintained by the Registrant’s Court-approved noticing agent (www.lehman-docket.com).
