APPENDIX B

 

From time to time, the firm and its employees are the subject of inquiries and investigations conducted by regulatory authorities, including but not limited to the SEC, MSRB, NASD, NYSE and state securities regulators. Lehman Brothers routinely cooperates freely with such investigations. The Firm is also involved, from time to time, in civil legal proceedings and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of this business. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, the firm has denied, or believes it has meritorious defenses and will deny, liability in all significant cases pending against it, and intends to defend actively each such case. All material proceedings in which there has been a final determination against Lehman Brothers, and all material litigations involving Lehman Brothers, have been reported on the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the Firm’s Form BD, each of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
