Saxena White P.A. Files a Shareholder Suit Against Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.


BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - June 18, 2008) - Notice is hereby given that Saxena White P.A. has filed suit on behalf of shareholders of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("Lehman Brothers" or the "Company") (NYSE: LEH) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The complaint seeks damages for violations of federal securities laws on behalf of all investors who purchased Lehman common stock between September 13, 2006 through June 6, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Lehman Brothers is an international investment banking firm. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants touted the Company's strong liquidity position, superior risk management policies and stable overall financial prospects despite a difficult environment in the financial services industry. As a result of Defendants' statements, the stock traded as high as $86.18 per share during the Class Period.

The complaint extends a prior Class Period to include the Company's most recent earnings disclosure of June 9, 2008. On this date, prior to the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company stunned the market by reporting a $2.8 billion second quarter loss -- nearly ten times the loss analysts had anticipated and the Company's first reported loss since going public in 1994. Lehman Brothers also announced plans to raise $6 billion in additional capital to help it survive its financial crisis. This news shocked investors as management had issued repeated assurances that the Company was financially strong and its liquidity position solid, even going so far as denying speculation that Lehman Brothers would suffer losses such as this. The stock closed at $29.48 that day, a decline of $2.81, on heavy volume of close to 170 million shares.
