LEHMAN BROTHERS QUARTO ATTO

Update on Court application process, dated 8 October 2023​

The LBH Administrators are pleased to report that the parties to the applications listed to be heard by the Court in the week commencing 9 October 2023 have today, 8 October 2023, agreed the terms of a settlement which substantially narrows the outstanding areas of dispute within the estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Plc ("LBH"). The settlement will save costs and resolve a variety of issues within the estate, and will accelerate the making of distributions to subordinated creditors of LBH.

In high level summary only:

  • The agreement which has been reached provides (subject to the Court’s approval) for a substantial narrowing of the scope of the forthcoming Court hearing which begins on 9 October 2023. In particular, whereas the application issued by the LBH Administrators on 14 March 2023 (the "Application") asked the Court to determine five Priority Legal Issues (numbered 1 to 5, and as described in previous updates), the settlement involves the withdrawal of four of those issues such that the forthcoming hearing will proceed for the purposes of determining Priority Legal Issue 1 only.
  • Similarly, in so far as the application issued by Deutsche Bank AG (London Branch) on 27 April 2023 (the "Strike-Out Application") related to any issues other than Priority Legal Issue 1, that application is similarly withdrawn so as now to be limited only to Priority Legal Issue 1.
  • Further, the application issued by the LBH Administrators on 25 April 2023 (the "Distribution Application") is withdrawn in its entirety.
  • The agreement also makes provision for distributions of approximately £187 million to be made in respect of LBH’s subordinated liabilities in the near future, allowing for such time as is reasonably required to take necessary administrative and practical steps to effect such distributions; and also makes provision for subsequent distributions against subordinated liabilities in due course to the extent that funds become available for that purpose.
  • The settlement also contains release provisions whereby the parties have agreed not only to withdraw aspects of the existing Court applications as mentioned above, but have agreed not subsequently to bring claims or complaints against one another and to resolve the issues between them save in respect of certain limited issues where the parties’ rights have been preserved, such as in respect of Priority Legal Issue 1 which, as noted above, will still fall to be determined by the Court.
For those issues which have not been resolved as part of the present settlement agreement, the parties will continue to explore the possibility of resolving those remaining issues too with a view to any further saving of costs and progressing of the administration in the interests of all creditors.

As noted above, Priority Legal Issue 1 remains to be determined by the Court, and the forthcoming hearing will therefore still commence on 9 October 2023 although its scope will now be confined (subject to the Court’s approval) to that issue. The LBH Administrators will continue to provide updates as may be appropriate in relation to the progress of that remaining application.

Lehman Brothers’ US Parent Battles Deutsche Bank Over UK Cash​




The case matters because a large surplus is very likely to be available for subordinated creditors like ECAPS holders and the Lehman Brothers’ US parent. An estimate of the surplus produced by administrators at PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 2021 suggested that a surplus could range from £280 million ($343 million) to £500 million.

Con specifico riferimento ai crediti derivanti dal possesso
