Background: each of the Issuers were registered as a special purpose limited partnership for the purposes
of issuing the Securities. LB GP No.1 Ltd (the "Company") acts as the General Partner of the Issuers.
Bruce Alexander Mackay and Matthew Robert Haw of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP were appointed
as joint liquidators (the "Joint Liquidators") of the Company on 28 February 2017 pursuant to a special
resolution of the Company's sole member, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI"). The appointment of the
Joint Liquidators was ratified by the Company's creditors at a meeting of creditors held on 12 April 2017.
The appointment of the Joint Liquidators followed a Court process in which the Company was restored to
the Register of Companies with effect from 3 February 2017. The restoration process and a number of
related Court Orders that flowed from it were set out in the Joint Liquidators’ Notice to Holders dated 23
June 2017 (the "June 2017 Notice"). The Company is part of the Lehman Investment Banking Group (the
"Group"). Prior to the collapse of the Group in September 2008, a funding structure was developed by the
Group to fund, on a subordinated basis, capital to be made available to Lehman Brothers Holdings Plc (in
administration) ("LBH") and LBHI in respect of regulatory capital. The funding structure was established
through five limited partnerships as follows:
(i) Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding LP ("LP I");
(ii) Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding II LP ("LP II");
(iii) Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding III LP ("LP III");
(iv) Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding IV LP ("LP IV"); and
(v) Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding V LP ("LP V").
(together the "Partnerships" or individually a "Partnership" as the context requires.
The Company acted as a general partner of each of the Partnerships. The Partnerships formed the
structure of the capital funding arrangement. The purpose of the Partnerships was to raise regulatory capital
for LBH and LBHI by issuing securities to investors.
Qualification Statement: this notice has been prepared using information obtained by Bruce Alexander
Mackay and Matthew Robert Haw (i) acting as the Joint Liquidators of the Company; and (ii) acting as
licensed insolvency practitioners specifically in relation to winding-up the Partnerships pursuant to an order
of the High Court made in accordance with section 6(3) of the Limited Partnerships Act 1907. Reference in
this notice to the Joint Liquidators also includes (where the context requires) Bruce Mackay and Matthew
Haw acting as insolvency practitioners for the purpose of winding-up the Partnerships. Given the wider
international failure and insolvency of associated Lehman entities and the passage of time since the
Partnerships were active, it has been difficult to obtain all information relevant to the Partnerships and
readers of this notice should understand that the Joint Liquidators' investigations have been hampered (in
some cases) by the paucity of financial information and documentation.
Neither the Joint Liquidators nor RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP accept any liability whatsoever
arising as a result of any decision or action taken or refrained from as a result of information contained in
this notice.
