i Given the status of Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (in administration) (“LBIE”), information relating to the positions held by LBIE has been difficult to ascertain, which has resulted in the delay in being able to make the required notification. Furthermore in this case, it has not been possible to determine the precise circumstances in which the threshold was crossed and the timing of crossing the threshold. In preparing this notification, Lehman Brothers In Administration (“LBIA”) has reviewed such information as is readily available to it from a range of records and the information provided herein is provided on the basis of the information in those records.
ii As you may be aware, AV Lomas, SA Pearson, PD Copley, R Downs and JG Parr each a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were appointed as Joint Administrators of Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (in administration) ("LBIE") to manage its affairs, business and property as agents without personal liability. As a result of the circumstances of LBIE's administration, LBIE's records may not reflect an accurate statement of its holding in shares of the company. Discrepancies may arise, for example, as a result of trades which were executed prior to the administration of LBIE not being settled as between the parties post-administration, and as a result of the termination of contracts between LBIE and its counterparties (e.g. derivatives transactions under master agreements, and the liquidation of positions by third parties). In addition, Lehman Brothers In Administration (“LBIA”) employees with knowledge relevant to the holdings may no longer work with LBIE's business. In preparing this form, LBIE has reviewed such information as is readily available to it from a range of LBIE records and the information provided herein is provided herein is provided on the basis of the information in those records.
