(This is not a capital guaranteed investment. The Notes are equity-linked to HSBC Holdings Plc ("HSBC"). Interest in the second and third years of the life of the Notes will be dependent on the closing price of the shares of HSBC during those periods. If the closing price of the shares of HSBC on a specified date falling immediately prior to the maturity of the Notes is below the specified Strike Price of the Notes, investors in the Notes could lose all or part of their investment. The Notes are not obligations of HSBC.

The Notes are not obligations of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The Notes are secured on an equal principal amount of securities guaranteed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., and on certain swap obligations guaranteed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. which have been entered into by the issuer of the Notes to enable it to meet its obligations under the Notes. To the extent Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is unable to procure due payment of amounts under the securities or the swap arrangements, the issuer of the Notes will be unable to make the corresponding payments due under the Notes and the recourse of investors in the Notes will be limited to realisation of the securities and to the termination payment (if any) due to the issuer under the swap arrangements.
