I.              INTRODUCTION

 

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”), submit this Disclosure Statement pursuant to section 1125 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) to holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors for (i) the solicitation of acceptances of each of the Debtors’ plans under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 14, 2010, as the same may be amended (the “Plan”), filed by the Debtors with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and (ii) the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan (“Confirmation Hearing”) scheduled for [            ].  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms contained herein have the meanings ascribed to them on Schedule A attached hereto.

 

The key Exhibits attached to this Disclosure Statement include:

 

·      The Chapter 11 Plan (Exhibit 1)

 

·      The Balance Sheets of each Debtor (i) as of September 14, 2008; (ii) as of the applicable Commencement Date for Each Debtor; (iii) as of June 30, 2009; and (iv) as of December 31, 2009, to be provided when issued (Exhibits 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D)

 

·      The Recovery Analysis for Each Debtor (Exhibit 4)

 

·      The Liquidation Analysis for Each Debtor (Exhibit 5)

 

·      Debtors’ Estimates of Claims and Claims Data (Exhibit 6)

 

·      Five-Year Cash Flow Estimates (Exhibit 7)

 

A Ballot for the acceptance or rejection of the Plan is enclosed with the Disclosure Statement mailed to the holders of Claims that the Debtors believe may be entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

On     , 2010, after notice and a hearing, the Bankruptcy Court approved this Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information of a kind and in sufficient detail to enable a hypothetical investor of the relevant classes to make an informed judgment whether to accept or reject the Plan (the “Disclosure Statement Order”).  APPROVAL OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DOES NOT, HOWEVER, CONSTITUTE A DETERMINATION BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AS TO THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE PLAN.

 

The Disclosure Statement Order sets forth in detail, among other things, the deadlines, procedures and instructions for voting to accept or reject the Plan and for filing objections to confirmation of the Plan, the record date for voting purposes and the applicable standards for tabulating Ballots.  In addition, detailed voting instructions accompany each Ballot.  Each holder of a Claim entitled to vote on the Plan should read the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement Order and the instructions

accompanying the Ballots in their entirety before voting on the Plan.  These documents contain important information concerning the classification of Claims and Equity Interests for voting purposes and how the votes will be tabulated.  No solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan may be made except pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

II.            OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN

 

For a more detailed description of the Plan, refer to section X—“Summary of the Chapter 11 Plan.”  In addition, the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

A.            Summary of the Plan

 

Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case by LBHI on September 15, 2008, Lehman constituted the fourth largest investment banking firm in the United States, which operated as a single globally integrated economic unit with its center of main interest at its New York City headquarters.  The Plan proposes an economic resolution of the Claims of creditors of all of the Debtors and incorporates resolutions of various inter-Debtor, Debtor-creditor and inter-creditor disputes designed to achieve a global and efficient resolution of the Claims and interests asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases.  The proposed Plan will expedite the administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, accelerate recoveries to creditors and avoid the potential enormous costs and extended time that would otherwise be incurred in connection with litigation of multifaceted and complex issues associated with these extraordinary cases.

 

The Plan separately applies to each of the Debtors and constitutes 23 distinct chapter 11 plans.  The Plan recognizes the corporate integrity of each Debtor and, therefore, Allowed Claims against a particular Debtor will be satisfied from the assets of that Debtor.

 

In developing the Plan, the Debtors considered whether substantive consolidation was appropriate for the resolution of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases at this time.  Substantive consolidation of debtors’ estates is a judicially created equitable remedy pursuant to which the assets and liabilities of two or more entities are pooled, and the pooled assets are aggregated and used to satisfy the Claims of creditors of all the consolidated debtors as if only one debtor existed.  Substantive consolidation eliminates intercompany Claims, guarantee Claims against any consolidated entity that guaranteed the obligations of another consolidated entity, and any issues concerning the ownership of assets among the consolidated entities.  The Debtors’ management considered the manner in which the Debtors operated and interacted with each other and their Affiliates prior to the Commencement Date, the financial book-keeping for each Debtor and creditor reliance on the credit of a particular Debtor as opposed to Lehman as a single entity, among other relevant factors.  Substantive consolidation is dependent upon mixed questions of fact and law.  There are facts relating to the manner in which the Debtors operated their businesses that strongly support a finding that certain of the Debtors are susceptible to being substantively consolidated.  The Debtors’ management is also cognizant that (i) certain significant Affiliates are currently in insolvency proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, (ii) other significant Affiliates are regulated entities, and (iii) there exist potential difficulties in implementing a plan that substantively consolidated the Debtors with all or some of their Affiliates.  As a result, the

Debtors have elected, at this time, to propose the Plan which will treat claimants/creditors in an economic and fair manner.  Acceptance of the Plan will allow the avoidance of substantial, expensive and time consuming proceedings that may result from the pursuit of substantive consolidation.  However, if it appears that the Plan may not be accepted, the Debtors may elect to amend the Plan to provide for the substantive consolidation of all or certain of the Debtors and their Affiliates.  The Debtors’ management believes that any plan to substantively consolidate all or certain of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases would be vigorously contested and would result in expensive and lengthy litigation that would delay any distributions to creditors for years.

 

The Plan strikes a balance between competing interests by recognizing the corporate integrity of each Debtor while including certain resolutions to alleviate the potential negative implications that may result from the indiscriminate enforcement of asserted Guarantee Claims.  The proposed Plan will expedite the administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and accelerate and expedite recoveries to creditors and avoid the potential enormous costs that would otherwise be incurred in connection with litigation of the numerous complex issues raised by these Chapter 11 Cases.

 

B.            Classification, Treatment and Estimated Recovery for Each Class Under the Plan

 

The Claims asserted against each Debtor and Equity Interests in each Debtor are separated into Classes.  Generally, the classification structure of the Plan applicable to each of the Debtors is identical other than for LBHI, which includes additional Classes for senior and subordinated unsecured debt and Guarantee Claims filed by third-parties as well as Affiliates.  As it relates to LBHI (as set forth in detail below and in Section X.C.2.a— “Treatment of Classified Claims Against and Equity Interests in LBHI” of this Disclosure Statement), after payment in full in cash of administrative and priority creditors and the satisfaction in full of secured creditors in the manner provided in the Plan, the Plan proposes to distribute Cash to holders of Senior Unsecured Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Intercompany Claims and Guarantee Claims filed by Third-Parties and Affiliates in the amount of their Pro Rata Share, provided that the aggregate Allowed amount of Third-Party and Affiliate Guarantee Claims against LBHI for distribution purposes does not exceed $115,324 million.

 

To implement a cap on Guarantee Claims, the Plan distinguishes between Guarantee Claims filed directly by third-party creditors and Guarantee Claims filed by Affiliates.  Third-Party Guarantee Claims are separately classified on the basis of the identity of the Primary Obligor of the underlying Guarantee Claim.  The Plan incorporates a formula in the definition of “Permitted Third-Party Guarantee Claim” which is used to calculate a claimant’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum aggregate class Allowed amount.  The Permitted Third-Party Guarantee Claim will be calculated after the Allowed amount of such holder’s Guarantee Claim has been determined under the ordinary Claims reconciliation process.

 

Holders of Affiliate Guarantee Claims will have an aggregate Allowed Claim in the amount of $21,186 million.  The individual allocation for each Affiliate that has asserted a Guarantee Claim on any basis is not set forth in the Plan.  Rather, holders of Affiliate Guarantee Claims, by voting in favor of the Plan, will be voting in favor of the Plan’s proposed aggregate Allowed Claim,

and the process for allocating the Allowed Claim at a later date, as set forth below.  The Debtors intend to allocate the $21,186 million to holders of Affiliate Guarantee Claims on a pro rata basis based on the amount of each Affiliate’s Allowed Affiliate Guarantee Claim after evaluating the enforceability of the Claims.

 

An allocation will be proposed by the Plan Administrator within six months after the Effective Date.  The allocation will be subject to a vote of holders of Allowed Affiliate Guarantee Claims and will be binding on all such holders if the proposed allocation is accepted by holders of at least two-thirds in amount of Allowed Affiliate Guarantee Claims and more than one-half in number of holders of such Affiliate Guarantee Claims.  The Debtors will solicit votes to accept or reject the allocation by distributing ballots to the Affiliates.  Each Affiliate entitled to vote will be permitted to vote to accept or reject the allocation based on its Allowed Affiliate Guarantee Claim amount.  If such proposed allocation is not accepted in accordance with the foregoing, the allocation of the total $21,186 million shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

As to each of the Subsidiary Debtors, the Plan adopts a common classification scheme.  The Plan proposes, after payment in full, in Cash of administrative and priority creditors and the satisfaction of secured creditors in full in the manner provided in the Plan, to distribute Cash to holders of General Unsecured Claims and Intercompany Claims in the amount of their Pro Rata Share.

 

Solely for illustrative purposes, the Debtors have analyzed estimated recoveries under the Plan based on a range of discount rates. This range was applied to the Debtors’ cash flow estimates for the recovery of distributable assets under the Plan.

Based on this analysis, estimated Plan recoveries for General Unsecured Claims against the following Debtors (whose estimated distributable assets on an undiscounted basis under the Plan collectively amount to approximately 75% of the total estimated undiscounted directly held assets1 of all Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities under the Plan), are as follows.2

The Debtors have also estimated recoveries under both the Plan and a hypothetical liquidation at various discount rates. Based on this analysis, which incorporates the multitude of projections and assumptions used to project the total distributable assets available and the total Allowed Claims under the Plan and in a hypothetical liquidation, the Debtors estimate that at discount rates up to 25% the Plan is preferable for all Creditor classes in comparison to a hypothetical liquidation.

 

The following schedules detail recoveries to each class of creditors for each Debtor on an undiscounted cash flow basis.

 


(1) Includes all assets (Cash, Restricted Cash, real estate, loans, investments and derivatives) and excludes recoveries on Intercompany Claims, equity in affiliates and recoveries on Guarantee Claims from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

 

(2) Recovery percentages shown represent the Debtors’ estimates of recoveries under the Plan divided by the Debtors’ estimate of Allowed Claims in each Class.
