  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;2, 2008, Standard&nbsp;&amp;
  Poor&#146;s (&#147;S&amp;P&#148;), a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, announced that it
  had lowered its counterparty credit ratings on the Registrant to &#147;A/A-1&#148; from &#147;A+/A-1&#148;
  and that it also lowered its counterparty credit ratings on two other major
  financial services firms in conjunction with its global review of the
  securities industry.&#160; The outlook
  assigned to the Registrant by S&amp;P remains negative, consistent with S&amp;P&#146;s
  industry-wide outlook for U.S. broker-dealers and many U.S. and non-U.S. bank
  peers.&#160; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">No assurance can be given that further downgrades by
  S&amp;P or other rating agencies of the credit ratings of participants in the
  financial services industry generally or of the Registrant specifically will
  not occur.&#160; For a discussion of the
  consequences of any such potential downgrade on the Registrant&#146;s business, see &#147;Management&#146;s
  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
  Operations&#151;Liquidity, Funding and Capital Resources&#151;Credit Ratings&#148; in the

  repurchases shares of the Registrant&#146;s common stock for the management of the Registrant&#146;s
  equity capital, taking into consideration of dilution due to employee stock
  awards, the Registrant repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock in the

  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
  .
  On June 9, 2008, Lehman
  Brothers Holdings Inc. (the "Registrant") issued a press release with respect
  to expected second quarter results.
  The press release is annexed
  as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein and made a part
  hereof.
  The information furnished
  under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall be deemed to be "filed"
  for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
  Item 8.01.
  Other Events
  On June 2, 2008, Standard &
  Poor's ("S&P"), a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, announced that it
  had lowered its counterparty credit ratings on the Registrant to "A/A-1" from "A+/A-1"
  and that it also lowered its counterparty credit ratings on two other major
  financial services firms in conjunction with its global review of the
  securities industry.  The outlook
  assigned to the Registrant by S&P remains negative, consistent with S&P's
  industry-wide outlook for U.S. broker-dealers and many U.S. and non-U.S. bank
  peers.
  No assurance can be given that further downgrades by
  S&P or other rating agencies of the credit ratings of participants in the
  financial services industry generally or of the Registrant specifically will
  not occur.  For a discussion of the
  consequences of any such potential downgrade on the Registrant's business, see "Management's
  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
  Operations—Liquidity, Funding and Capital Resources—Credit Ratings" in the
  Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended February 29,
  2008.
  On June 3, 2008, in connection with the Registrant's
  previously disclosed stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Registrant
  repurchases shares of the Registrant's common stock for the management of the Registrant's
  equity capital, taking into consideration of dilution due to employee stock
  awards, the Registrant repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock in the
  open market at an average price per share, excluding commissions, of $31.88.
