Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEH)

 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 proceeding named In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., et. al. under Case Number 08-13555 (the "Chapter 11 Proceeding").  As further disclosed previously, certain of the Registrant's subsidiaries (collectively with the Registrant, the "Debtors") have also filed proceedings 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 101(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules") and the Debtors continue to operate as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 On October 14, 2009, the Debtors filed with the Court a Monthly Operating Report (the "Monthly Operating Report").  A copy of the Monthly Operating Report for the Debtors is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  This Current Report (including the Exhibits hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.

  Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

 In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 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 Statements Regarding Financial and Operating Data

 The Registrant cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, as it was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of any of the Debtors, or any other affiliate of the Registrant.  The Monthly Operating Report is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, will not be subject to audit or review by the Registrant's external auditors at any time in the future, is in a format consistent with applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  There can be no assurances that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Registrant's securities, the Monthly Operating Report is accurate or complete.  The Monthly Operating Report contains a further description of limitations on the information contained therein. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Registrant's reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Registrant's financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Registrant's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.  Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

  Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 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 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 Proceeding; (ii) the Registrant's ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Proceeding; (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 Proceeding 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, including this Monthly Operating Report, 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).
