Cautionary Statements Regarding Financial and Operating Data
The Company cautions the reader not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Quarterly Financial Report, as it is not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision directly or indirectly relating to the Company or any of its securities.

There can be no assurances that the Quarterly Financial Report is accurate or complete. The Quarterly Financial Report contains a further description of limitations on the information contained therein. The Quarterly Financial Report also contains information which might not be indicative of the Companys financial condition. Results set forth in the Quarterly Financial Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 hereto may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Companys financial condition, results of operations, and business that is not historical information.

Such factors include, without limitation, the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Proceeding on the Companys liquidity or results of operations.

(1) | Estimated Recovery percentages are calculated based on recoveries of Allowed Claims Eligible for Distributions as reported on Exhibit D of the 22nd Distribution Notice filed on March 25, 2021. For purposes of this calculation: |
a. | Allowed claims exclude (i) claims against LBHI satisfied in full through the combination of the primary obligor and guarantee distributions from LBHI, and (ii) previously Allowed Claims that have been withdrawn. |
b. | Disputed claims are assumed to be allowed at zero, and all cash reserves currently held on behalf of holders of disputed claims are assumed to be released for the benefit of all holders of Allowed Claims. |
c. | Allowed Claims Eligible for Distributions exclude Allowed Claims that LBHI owns against itself. |
(2) | Through the 22nd Plan Distribution on April 1, 2021 (D22), the Debtors have made distributions to creditors totaling $128.8 billion, of which $95.8 billion were payments on account of claims owned or formerly owned by third party creditors. |
(3) | Pursuant to the Motion of the Plan Administrator for an Order Authorizing a Voluntary Final Distribution for Certain Creditors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Granting Related Relief (the Final Distribution Motion) filed contemporaneously with this report, the Plan Administrator proposes to use these Estimated Remaining Recovery % as of Apr 1, 2021 as the percentages for the Final Distribution (as defined in the Final Distribution Motion).
