Lehman Brothers Financial SA (LEHNQ)

[Joe Stocks]

AS you posted, there will be NO remaining NOLs at the end of liquidation. Thanks for sharing this. Perhaps we can put this nonsense about NOLs surviving the liquidation to rest.

The Plan provides for an orderly liquidation of the Debtors. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Financial Report as of March 31, 2012 [Docket No.29731], the LBHI Tax Group received a private letter ruling from the IRS in connection with the Plan going effective that stated (i) the liquidation of the Debtors for U.S. federal income tax purposes may occur over an extended period, and (ii) the reduction of the LBHI Tax Group’s NOLs as a result of the discharge of debt pursuant to the Plan generally would not occur until completion of the liquidation. The Company has filed with the IRS a request for an extension of the ruling. All remaining Debtor NOLs not previously utilized to absorb taxable income of the LBHI Tax Group are expected to be fully utilized to offset the discharge of debt on the final date of liquidation of the Debtors."
