Investors in Lehman Brothers structured notes recently received a notice concerning potential distributions from the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. These investors include those who bought so-called “100% Principal Protection” Notes. Investors must vote on the distribution plan by November 4, 2011. Investors affected by this notice include those who lost money as a result of UBS sales of Principal Protection Notes.
Under the proposed plan, Lehman Brothers investors are expected to receive approximately 21¢ on the dollar from the bankruptcy proceeding. Such a payment would leave Lehman note investors with a loss of 80% of their principal.
Importantly, a distribution from the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy would not eliminate investors’ rights to pursue the recovery of the remaining 80% of their losses. The procedure for attempting to recover those losses is to file a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that recommended and sold the Lehman notes, including UBS Financial Services, Inc.
