By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Aug. 28 - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. priced an additional $100,000 of zero-coupon 100% principal-protected dual participation notes due Aug. 22, 2011 linked to the price of light sweet crude oil, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company priced $600,000 of the notes on Aug. 8, another $1.1 million on Aug. 13, another $1.15 million on Aug. 21 and a further $300,000 on Aug. 22. The total issue size is now $3.25 million.
