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 Debtors, with each entity subject to review at each distribution date.

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 Inc. (“LBI”) and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (in administration) (“LBIE”)) that were not managed or controlled by a Debtor as of the Effective Date and are under separate administrations in the U.S. or abroad, including proceedings under the Securities Investor Protection Act (collectively, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”).

The information and data included in these cash flow estimates and notes thereto (the “April 1, 2021 Cash Flow Estimates”) were prepared to update the December 31, 2020 Cash Flow Estimates filed March 25, 2021 (the “December 31, 2020 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 April 1, 2021 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.

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, France, Germany, 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 internal valuation models utilizing 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 3 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 is uncertain, and actual recoveries may differ materially from these estimates.

Litigation

The Company is involved directly and/or indirectly in numerous litigations 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 (see Other Litigations in Note 6 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 April 1, 2021 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.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (continued)

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. These assignments are reflected in the “Transfers, Reclassifications, Adjustments” column in the tables herein. 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:

Due from/to Affiliates

(as shown in the Balance Sheets and Note 3 and Note 4 herein)

Due from/to Affiliates represents (i) receivables related to transactions among Debtors, LBHI-Controlled Entities and Non-Controlled Affiliates (separately or collectively, “Affiliates”), and (ii) payables by LBHI-Controlled Entities to Debtors and Non-Controlled Affiliates.

Due from/to Affiliates are recorded in the Balance Sheets at book values, and where applicable, these balances are recorded net of cash distributions. The balances do not reflect potential realization or collectability reserves for Due from Affiliates balances nor estimates of potential additional payables to Affiliates. As a result, adjustments (including write-downs and write-offs) to Due from/to Affiliates, which are material, will be recorded in the future. The Company will continue to review future estimated recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates to determine future write downs.

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”):

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:

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 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. 119 cases have been resolved. 34 of the defendants have failed to respond to the complaints filed against them and LBHI is pursuing default judgments against them. There are 16 parties remaining that have responded to the complaints filed against them. In aggregate, the complaints against these remaining active defendants assert approximately $8 million in GSE Claims and $91 million in PL Claims. The PL Claims are subject to an allocation methodology to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. For illustrative purposes only, if the methodology approved by the Bankruptcy Court is on the basis that each defendant will be allocated its pro rata share of the PL Claims, then the aggregate damages sought from the 16 defendants who have responded to the complaints filed would be reduced from $91 million to approximately $19 million. On March 25, 2020, LBHI filed a Notice with the Court providing preliminary and non-binding disclosure of the allocation methodology it may seek to apply in this case [Docket No. 60483 in Case No. 08-13555].

Certain defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaints on the basis that Lehman Brothers Bank, the original purchaser of the mortgage loans at issue, never effectuated the assignment of its indemnity rights to LBHI prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 cases and therefore, the Bankruptcy Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over those cases. The moving defendants also seek dismissal on the basis that LBHI gave up its indemnity rights when it sold the loans to the Private Label Trusts. LBHI opposed the motion. The Bankruptcy Court heard argument on October 16, 2019, and reserved decision.

On June 11, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California allowed the full amount of LBHI’s $13.3 million allocated claim in the Home Loan Center, Inc. (“HLC”) bankruptcy proceeding [Case No. 19-51455 MEH Chapter 7 Hon. M. Elaine Hammond] (to date LBHI has received an interim distribution of approximately $5 million). That same day, LBHI filed suit against HLC’s corporate parents LendingTree, LLC and LendingTree, Inc. for any deficit after final distribution from the HLC bankruptcy on that $13.3 million allowed claim. On August 19, 2020, the LendingTree defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint based on lack of jurisdiction and improper venue. On March 22, 2021, Judge Nelson issued her decision denying LendingTree’s opposition and

ordering the case to be transferred to the Bankruptcy Court, as LBHI had requested.

On March 7 and 8, 2021, LBHI filed complaints against 60 smaller mortgage sellers, primarily brokers, seeking aggregate damages of $45 million. 16 of these cases have been resolved, which has reduced the aggregate damages sought in these cases to $34 million.

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. 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”).

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 has the economic effect of awarding approximately 86% of the cash flows at issue to LBHI and 14% to ECAPS I-III.

On July 24, 2020, at a hearing on consequential matters, Justice Smith gave permission to appeal the ranking issues at both LBHI2 and PLC, but did not give Deutsche Bank permission to appeal the Release and Discounting issues. Justice Smith also granted LBHI a cost award against Deutsche Bank and granted PLC a cost award against LBHI.

LBHI previously filed an objection to disallow six, LBIE-based, prime-brokerage-related guarantee claims seeking $118 million filed by funds related to Maverick Capital Ltd (“Maverick”) [ECF No. 53107]. On March 24, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court granted LBHI’s objection, disallowed Maverick’s claims, and ruled that Maverick could not amend its proofs of claim to assert direct (as opposed to guarantee) liability against LBHI [ECF No. 55346]. Maverick appealed that decision to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 30, 2018, the District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision that section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code and certain exculpatory clauses contained in the prime brokerage agreement at issue applied to Maverick’s claims, and remanded the case to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. On July 3, 2019, LBHI filed a motion seeking to reduce Maverick’s claims to $4.3 million. On August 8, 2019, Maverick filed its opposition to that motion. On September 10, 2019, the Court heard argument on the Motion and reserved decision. On September 14, 2020, Maverick filed a supplemental brief in connection with the pending motion. On October 19, 2020, LBHI filed its response to Maverick’s supplemental brief. On May 20, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court read its decision from the bench, ruling that Maverick was entitled to allowed guarantee claims against LBHI of $118 million, subject to the single satisfaction rule, and therefore, Maverick was entitled to receive distributions on those allowed claims until it recovers $16.2 in cash. The ruling is subject to appeal.

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. The trial was originally scheduled for March 9-20, 2020, but was adjourned by the Court as a result of risks posed by the coronavirus.

Note 6 – Legal Proceedings (continued)

The Honorable Marcy Friedman announced that she will be retiring at the end of the year and as a result will be unable to continue as the trial judge in the case. On November 3, 2020, LBIE filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking to reopen the Chapter 15 case and remove the state court case to the Bankruptcy Court. On December 1, 2020, AGR filed its opposition to LBIE’s motions and its own motion to remand the case to State Court. The hearing on the motions was conducted on January 25, 2021, in the Bankruptcy Court and was continued on March 22, 2021, based upon further diligence requested by the Court. At the hearing, Judge Chapman read her decision from the bench, ruling that LBHI’s motion to remove is denied and AGR’s motion to remand is granted. The case will now proceed in the New York State Supreme Court, Commercial Division before the Honorable Mellissa Crane, who was recently assigned to the case. The trial is expected to occur in Q4 2021.

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 “DAA”) (see below for further information).

As of April 1, 2021, the Company recorded an estimate of $23 million for potential pre- and post-petition amounts owed to federal, state, local and international taxing authorities, net of expected refund claims. Between December 31, 2020 and April 1, 2021, the Company increased its taxes payable estimate by $1 million as a result of global tax audit progress.

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. Pursuant to the DAA, any tax receivables or payables related to pre-petition, consolidated group taxes, including the IRS refund, are treated as allowed pre-petition claims between LBHI and other Debtors and LBHI-Controlled Entities and subject to set-off or recoupment.

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 the Debtors.

On May 27, 2021, LBHI, as Plan Administrator, filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court for a final decree to close the LBSF Chapter 11 case (see Docket No. 61141).
