(1) | Cash Activity for Net Receipts – Other primarily includes the receipt of anticipated withholding tax refunds related to previous distributions from certain Non-Controlled Affiliates. The estimates for tax refunds related to previous distributions from Non-Controlled Affiliates were reclassified during the period from Recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates to Net Receipts – Other. |
(2) | Estimate change for Recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates – Europe primarily relates to the negative impact of movements in foreign exchange rates during the period. |

(1) | Estimated Recovery percentages are calculated based on recoveries of Allowed Claims Eligible for Distributions as reported on Exhibit B of the 24th Distribution Notice filed on March 30, 2022. 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of the primary obligor and guarantee distributions from LBHI, and (ii) previously Allowed Claims that have been withdrawn.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) | The 24th Plan Distribution occurred on April 6, 2022 (“D24”). Through D24, the Debtors have made distributions to creditors totaling $129.0 billion, of which $96.0 billion were payments on account of claims owned or formerly owned by third party creditors. |
The 25th Plan Distribution is scheduled to occur on October 6, 2022.

III. | Notes to the Cash Flow Estimates |
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Objectives
On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy with a new Board of Directors (LBHI’s Board of Directors hereinafter referred to as the “Board”). The Company continues to pursue the objectives of asset value maximization and timely distributions to creditors of available cash through the optimal execution of an orderly wind down process and the judicious and timely resolution of claims. Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Administrator has made and expects to continue to make distributions to creditors of the Debtor.
Basis of Presentation
The information and data included in the Quarterly Financial Report, including the Notes to the Cash Flow Estimates (the “Quarterly Financial Report”) are derived from sources available to the Debtors and LBHI-Controlled Entities (collectively, the “Company” or “Controlled Affiliates”). The term “LBHI-Controlled Entities” refers to those entities that are directly or indirectly controlled by LBHI and have not filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. LBHI-Controlled Entities excludes, among others, certain entities (such as Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (in administration) (“LBIE”)) that were not managed or controlled by LBHI as of the Effective Date and are under separate administrations abroad (collectively, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”).
The information and data included in these cash flow estimates and notes thereto (the “June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates”) were prepared to update the April 6, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates filed June 24, 2022 (the “April 6, 2022 CFE”), and are based on estimated cash flows from assets managed in an orderly wind down and/or sale (and related costs of operations) until the Company’s activities are fully resolved.
These June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates include an estimate of expenses to be paid through final termination of the Company on such matters as asset disposition, litigation and disputed claims resolution, administrative wind-down, and related activities. These estimates also include the estimated costs of a small subset of the Company’s current staff committed to stay for many years, if necessary, to oversee the resolution of remaining disputes, other matters and residual wind down activities. These estimates are subject to ongoing review and revision. Actual expenses may differ materially from these estimates.
The Company has prepared the Quarterly Financial Report based on the information available to the Company at the date of filing; however, such information may be incomplete and may be materially deficient. Material uncertainties continue to exist regarding the ultimate value realizable from the Company’s assets, the timing of asset recoveries, future costs, and the eventual level of allowed creditors’ claims. Accordingly, the Quarterly Financial Report is not meant to be relied upon as a complete description of the Company, its business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities. The Company reserves all rights to revise this report.
In preparing the Quarterly Financial Report, the Company made various estimates and assumptions based on information available to the Company. As such, this report contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including all statements containing information regarding the intent, belief or current expectation of the Company and members of its management. Accordingly, the financial information herein is subject to change and any such change may be material.
| Page 6 |
| ||
Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (continued)
The Quarterly Financial Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previous filings, including Form 8-K reports as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Plan and related Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) dated August 31, 2011, and other documents filed after the Commencement Dates with various regulatory agencies or the Bankruptcy Court by LBHI and LBHI-Controlled Entities.
Future expenses and distributions are dependent in large measure on the resolution of various legal matters involving the Company and its Non-Controlled Affiliates. (See Litigation below.) The remaining legal matters require resolution in the United States, as well as multiple foreign jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, India, and Australia. The timing for achieving final administrative or judicial resolution of these legal issues is uncertain. As a consequence, the Company cannot definitively specify a date for the final termination of its activities.
All cash flows in these Estimates are presented on an undiscounted basis.
Key Assumptions
Recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates
Estimates of recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates are based on information obtained from both Non-Controlled Affiliates’ fiduciaries, as well as information obtained by the Company through settlement negotiations and involvement on creditors’ committees.
The Company’s estimates for recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates include estimates for recoveries related to LBIE and the Joint Venture (see Note 2 for additional information), as well as estimated recoveries from other Non-Controlled Affiliates in Europe and Asia.
Certain receivables from Non-Controlled Affiliates are denominated in foreign currencies, and as such, estimated recoveries related to these receivables are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not hedge against movements in foreign exchange rates.
The majority of estimated remaining recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates are contingent upon (i) the resolution of matters in dispute and/or active litigation, (ii) the receipt of non-U.S. government and/or Court approvals, and/or (iii) the final wind down of estates not controlled by the Plan Administrator. As such, the timing and amount of future recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates are uncertain, and actual recoveries may differ materially from these estimates.
At this stage, the number of outstanding matters has been substantially reduced, allowing for greater transparency into LBHI’s internal and confidential assumptions regarding expected recoveries on individual contested matters. Such transparency could undermine the ability of LBHI and certain of its controlled affiliates to achieve optimal outcomes through negotiated settlements. Solely for the purpose of maintaining the confidentiality of its assumptions relating to these uncertain recoveries, which are informed by privileged advice from counsel, LBHI treats ECAPS-related recoveries and the AGR litigation as Excluded Matters herein and therefore excludes estimates for ECAPS related recoveries, including estimated recoveries under agreements with holders of approximately 16.8% of the ECAPS, and AGR-related litigation recoveries from these June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates. See Note 5 – Legal Proceedings for further information on these litigations.
| Page 7 |
| ||
Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (continued)
Litigation
The Company is involved directly and/or indirectly in numerous litigations and disputes that will impact its recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates. The Company’s estimates of recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates incorporate the Company’s current assumptions regarding the resolution of these matters, with the exception of estimates for ECAPS-related and AGR-related litigation recoveries, which are treated as Excluded Matters herein (see Other Litigations in Note 5 for additional information).
In addition, the Company has certain litigation pending against parties other than Non-Controlled Affiliates in U.S. courts which may result in potential recoveries to the Company. For the purpose of these June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates, estimates for all litigations are included, with the exception of matters listed under “Excluded Litigations” in Note 6 herein (“Excluded Litigations”). The estimated costs (i.e., professional, legal and advisory fees) of supporting all of the Company’s litigations, including the Excluded Litigations, are included.
Reporting of Claim Assignments
As part of the Company’s planned operational wind down and legal entity dissolution process, the Company has assigned and will continue to assign claims among Controlled Entities, typically from a subsidiary entity to a parent entity, with no resulting economic effect on estimated overall recoveries. For claim assignments in which Debtor entities are assigned claims against themselves (i.e., when LBHI is assigned a claim against LBHI), the receivables and payables are netted.
This Quarterly Financial Report:
• | reflects activities through June 30, 2022; |
• | is not audited nor prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”); |
• | includes certain items that remain under continuing review by the Company and may be accounted for differently in future Quarterly Financial Reports. |
Due from/to Affiliates
(as shown in the Balance Sheets and Note 2 and Note 3 herein)
Due from/to Affiliates represents (i) receivables related to transactions among LBHI, LBHI-Controlled Entities and Non-Controlled Affiliates (separately or collectively, “Affiliates”), and (ii) payables by LBHI-Controlled Entities to LBHI and Non-Controlled Affiliates.
Following the announcement in August 2022 by the UK Supreme Court that it declined to hear LBHI’s appeal on the ECAPS matter, the Company amended its methodology for recording Due from Non-Controlled Affiliates balances in the Balance Sheets. In prior periods, the Company had recorded Due from/to Affiliates in the Balance Sheets at historical book values, and where applicable, these balances were recorded net of cash distributions. As of these June 30, 2022 Balance Sheets, Due from Non-Controlled Affiliates balances have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s estimates for the maximum potential remaining recoveries on these claims. These estimates for maximum potential remaining recoveries are materially higher in the aggregate than the Company’s current total estimated recoveries on these claims. The Company will continue to review future estimated recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates to determine future adjustments.

(1) | “Admitted Claims in Local Currency,” “Collections to Date in Local Currency” and “Collections to Date in USD” include statutory interest expected and received to date, less (i) any applicable tax withholdings, which the Company will claim from the relevant tax authorities, and (ii) any distributions received on the claims prior to the assignments of the claims to LBHI and/or LBHI-Controlled Entities. |

(3) | Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation herein for further information on the estimated recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates. ECAPS-related recoveries are treated as an Excluded Matter herein, and therefore these June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates exclude estimates for ECAPS-related recoveries. |
(4) | Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation – Due from/to Affiliates herein for further information on the Maximum Potential Recovery in USD. |
(5) | Other Affiliate Claims include a reclass from Other Receivables of $30 million of recoveries from claims against Non-Controlled Affiliates acquired through settlements with third parties valued at estimated remaining recoveries, net of distributions. The largest component of Other Affiliate Claims is an admitted claim, prior to distributions, against Lehman Brothers Limited for £65 million. |

Note 2 – Due from/to Non-Controlled Affiliates (continued)
Joint Venture to Facilitate Resolution of LBIE Claims
On January 31, 2014, Lehman Brothers Holdings Intermediate 2 Ltd. (“LBHI2”), a Non-Controlled Affiliate, LBHI, and Elliott Management Corporation and King Street Capital Management, L.P. (together, the “Funds”) entered into definitive documentation and consummated a joint venture to facilitate the resolution of LBIE claims (the “Joint Venture”):
• | LBHI2 contributed to the Joint Venture its admitted senior claim of GBP 36.3 million (“Senior Claim”), subordinated claims of GBP 1.24 billion (“Sub Debt”), and an economic interest in its preferred equity (“Preferred Equity”) in LBIE. |
• | The Funds paid approximately GBP 650 million to LBHI2 (by way of a capital contribution to the Joint Venture) and contributed to the Joint Venture the distributions on their claims against LBIE (approximately GBP 2.6 billion face as of January 31, 2014) in excess of the principal amount plus post-administration interest at 8% per year. LBHI2’s final recoveries and distributions will be determined following the resolution of the LBIE estate. |
The Joint Venture includes a joint recovery pool governed by a specific sharing formula. Subject to certain adjustments, which could be material, all recoveries from the Sub Debt, Senior Claim, Preferred Equity, and the Funds’ contribution are split as follows:
(a) | 100% to the Funds up to the Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount; |
(b) | For recoveries between the Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount up to the Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount, 70% to the Funds and 30% to LBHI2; |
(c) | For recoveries between the Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount up to the Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount, 50% to the Funds and 50% to LBHI2; and |
(d) | For recoveries above the Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount, 25% to the Funds and 75% to LBHI2. |
The “Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 650 million. The “Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 1.3 billion plus interest calculated at the simple rate of 2.25% from November 30, 2013 through September 3, 2018; thereafter, interest is calculated at the simple rate of 1.25%. The “Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 2.2 billion plus interest calculated at the simple rate of 4.25% from November 30, 2013 through September 3, 2018; thereafter, interest is calculated at the simple rate of 2.5%.
A detailed summary of the terms of the parties’ commitments and the Joint Venture is available at www.lehman-docket.com in the Key Documents section.
If LBIE makes distributions on the Preferred Equity before aggregate distributions from the Joint Venture to the Funds and LBHI2 have reached GBP 2.2 billion (plus interest), then, in certain circumstances, LBHI2, Luxembourg Finance S.a.r.l. (“Lux Finance”) and LBHI shall be obligated to make payments to preserve the economic terms of the transaction as if 100% of the Preferred Equity proceeds had been transferred by LBHI2 to the Joint Venture.
Receivables from the Joint Venture:
• | LBHI has direct and indirect receivables from various UK Non-Controlled Affiliates. LBHI has included estimated recoveries from those entities in its Cash Flow Estimates, except with respect to ECAPS-related recoveries (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, Key Assumptions for further information). |

Note 5 – Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in or will be impacted by a number of judicial, regulatory and mediation proceedings as well as pre-litigation disputes concerning matters arising in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings and various other matters, including the proceedings listed below. The Company has not included in the June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates any estimate of recoveries for the Excluded Recoveries in the table shown below, but has included estimates of recoveries for all other affirmative litigation matters it is pursuing. The Company is not aware of any other litigation matters where the amount at issue exceeds $10 million. As more information becomes available, the Company may record revisions, which may be material, in future Quarterly Financial Reports. (See Note 1—Basis of Presentation—Litigation for further discussion on the impact of these litigations on the cash flow estimates.)

Note 5 – Legal Proceedings (continued)
(a) Mortgage Sellers
LBHI filed complaints in the Bankruptcy Court against numerous mortgage sellers seeking indemnification arising from the Allowed Claims of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (collectively, the “GSE Claims”) and Private Label Trustees (the “PL Claims”) against LBHI for losses from defective loans purchased from LBHI. Of the over 200 cases filed in this coordinated action, only three cases remain and LBHI expects recoveries from these outstanding matters to be less than $2 million in total.
(b) ECAPS
Prior to the Commencement Date, the Company raised approximately $2 billion through the issuance in the UK of Enhanced Capital Advantaged Preferred Securities (“ECAPS”). Among the ECAPS issued via these UK funding partnerships were Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding LP, Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding II LP and Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding III LP, (“ECAPS I-III”).
Lehman Brothers Holdings PLC (“PLC”) has outstanding approximately €0.8 billion of subordinated notes issued to ECAPS I-III and approximately $1.9 billion of subordinated debt which is held by LBHI (the “PLC Parties”). LBHI2 has outstanding approximately $3.186 billion of subordinated debt issued to PLC and approximately $6.139 billion of subordinated notes which is held by Lehman Brothers Holdings Scottish LP 3 (“SLP3”) (the “LBHI2 Parties”).
On March 16, 2018, the Joint Administrators of PLC and LBHI2 each made an application to the High Court in England to seek, among other things, its determination of issues of priority in respect of potential distributions to the holders of the subordinated issuances described above. The trial took place in November 2019. The Court gave judgment on July 3, 2020 (see Docket No. 60706). In essence, the Court decided that SLP3 (LBHI) is junior to PLC with respect to the LBHI2 subordinated debt, as PLC had argued, and that LBHI and ECAPS I-III are pari passu with respect to the PLC subordinated debt and that the ECAPS I-III subordinated debt was subject to discounting, as LBHI had argued. The Court also ruled that the LBHI subordinated debt (at the PLC level) was not subject to a release, as LBHI had argued. This ruling had the
economic effect of awarding approximately 86% of the cash flows at issue to LBHI and 14% to ECAPS I-III.
LBHI settled with entities which in aggregate hold approximately 16.8% of the ECAPS. The agreements provide for those holders’ proportional share of the cash flows at issue to be shared as follows: 16.19% to such holders and 83.81% to LBHI.
Following a hearing commencing October 4, 2021, and ending October 8, 2021, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales gave judgment on October 20, 2021, relating to the ranking of claims held by LBHI and one of its affiliates in the insolvency proceedings of PLC and LBHI2 (the “UK Judgment”, see Docket No. 61341). Pursuant to the UK Judgment, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales reversed certain significant earlier declarations which had been delivered in July 2020 by the High Court of England and Wales. The High Court ruling would have resulted in materially higher financial outcomes for LBHI.
On November 17, 2021, LBHI sought permission to appeal the UK Judgment to The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. In August 2022, the Supreme Court denied LBHI’s request to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision.
The UK courts have not yet decided the question of the PLC Parties’ entitlement to or amount due of statutory interest on their claims.
Solely for the purpose of maintaining the confidentiality of its assumptions relating to these uncertain recoveries, which are informed by privileged advice from counsel, LBHI treats ECAPS-related recoveries as an Excluded Recovery herein and therefore excludes estimates for ECAPS related recoveries, including estimated recoveries under agreements with holders of approximately 16.8% of the ECAPS, from these June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates.

Note 5 – Legal Proceedings (continued)
(c) LBIE Other
The outcome of the following litigation may impact LBHI’s potential indirect recoveries from LBIE:
AG Financial Products Inc.
On November 28, 2011, LBIE sued AG Financial Products Inc. (“AGR”), an affiliate of Assured Guaranty Corp., which in the past had provided credit protection to counterparties under credit default swaps. LBIE’s complaint, which was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), alleged that AGR improperly terminated nine credit derivative transactions between LBIE and AGR and improperly calculated the termination payment in connection with the termination of 28 other credit derivative transactions between LBIE and AGR. LBIE asserted in the complaint that AGR owes LBIE a termination payment of approximately $1.4 billion.
On July 2, 2018, the New York Supreme Court dismissed LBIE’s claims with respect to the nine allegedly improperly terminated transactions in their entirety. That ruling remains subject to appeal. The Court also dismissed the claim that AGR breached its implied duty of good faith and fair dealing with respect to the valuation of the 28 terminated credit derivatives transactions, but found that there is a genuine question of fact as to the reasonableness and good faith of AGR’s calculation of its loss, and so LBIE may proceed with its claim against AGR for breach of contract. On July 31, 2018, AGR filed a Notice of Appeal with the New York State Appellate Division with respect to the surviving claims. On January 17, 2019, the Appellate Division denied AGR’s appeal.
After a lengthy delay due to the coronavirus, the trial in the New York State Supreme Court, Commercial Division began on October 18, 2021, and continued for five weeks, concluding on November 19th. The parties subsequently submitted briefs on open evidentiary issues. On February 28, 2022, Judge Melissa Crane conducted the hearing on those open issues and ruled on several issues from the bench. On March 2, 2022, Judge Crane issued a decision resolving the remaining outstanding issues. The parties submitted opening post trial briefs on April 25, 2022, and reply briefs on June 21, 2022. The parties await the trial court’s decision.
Solely for the purpose of maintaining the confidentiality of its assumptions relating to these uncertain recoveries, which are informed by privileged advice from counsel, LBHI treats the AGR litigation as an Excluded Recovery herein and therefore excludes estimates for AGR litigation-related recoveries from these June 30, 2022 Cash Flow Estimates.

Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 6 – Taxes Payable
Taxes payable is an estimate of tax liabilities, net of the estimated impact of any refund claims, deposits and net operating losses (“NOL”). Taxes payable have been allocated among the members of the LBHI Tax Group pursuant to the Debtor Allocation Agreement. The Debtor Allocation Agreement, which became effective on the Effective Date, addresses the relationship among the Debtors and certain Affiliates with respect to consolidated federal/combined state/local income taxes for pre-petition and post-petition years.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an estimate of $18 million for potential pre- and post-petition amounts owed to federal, state, local and international taxing authorities, net of expected refund claims.
Net Operating Losses
The NOLs of the LBHI Tax Group (including LBHI-Controlled Entities) are subject to audit and adjustment by the IRS and primarily expire in or about 2028. Substantially all of the LBHI Tax Group’s current consolidated net operating loss carryovers are attributable to the Debtors. The Plan provides for an orderly liquidation of the Debtors. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Financial Report as of March 31, 2012 [Docket No. 29731], the LBHI Tax Group received a private letter ruling from the IRS in connection with the Plan going effective that stated (i) the liquidation of the Debtors for U.S. federal income tax purposes may occur over an extended period, and (ii) the reduction of the LBHI Tax Group’s NOLs as a result of the discharge
of debt pursuant to the Plan generally would not occur until completion of the liquidation.
In January 2020, the Company received a supplemental IRS ruling extending the original ruling relating to the Company’s liquidation. All remaining Debtor NOLs not previously utilized to absorb taxable income of the LBHI Tax Group are expected to be fully utilized to offset income resulting from the discharge of debt on the final date of liquidation of LBHI.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events
25th Plan Distribution
On October 6, 2022, LBHI will make its 25th Plan Distribution to creditors. The Company will distribute approximately $12 million, including $11 million to third party creditors.
Through D25, the Debtors will have made distributions to creditors totaling $129.0 billion, of which $96.0 billion were payments on account of claims owned or formerly owned by third party creditors.
