Lehman Brothers Financial SA (LEHNQ)

ECAPS, TRUPS

SVO has decided Ecaps are more equity-like than the billions of dollars of perpetual, non-cumulative preferred stock issues it has for years designated as preferred stock
——-//———//———//—

It’s a true equity rather. IT IS A PREFERED INSTRUMENT with underlying ratable common stock for each ECaps and each Capital Trusts Security (CTS)... IT DOESN’T MATTER IF the subordinated debt is unpaid.

A PREFERRED INSTRUMENT ISSUED BY THE TRUST, GUARANTEED BY LBHI

See General description from the CTS prospectus below.

excerpt from prospectus;
General
        The declaration authorizes the regular trustees to issue both common and preferred securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the trust.

All the common securities will be owned, directly or indirectly, by Lehman Brothers Holdings. The common securities rank equally, and payments will be made on the common securities on a ratable basis, with the preferred securities.
