第一.根据破产申请的法律规定,提请破产保护的主体是雷曼兄弟控股公司,不包括公司旗下从事经纪业务的各分支机构.

虽然之后雷曼欧洲也破产了.

第二.因为雷曼是9月才破产的.所以在这之前他的QFII资格是合理的.

证券会对QFII的审查是很严格的.不会犯这种错误的.

第三.上海高院已经受理这个案件了.会给出满意答复的.

补充：雷曼欧洲入主隧道股份的时候是具备合理QFII资格的.之后它先破产后被收购,控股权变化了,QFII资格是要重估的.所以之前雷曼欧洲作为合格境外投资者身份投资的股权是要清偿的.上高审理的目的就是保护被投资者的利益,对赔偿额度、赔偿方式、赔偿时间作出判决.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets: LEHMQ) (pronounced IPA: /?li?m?n/) was a global financial-services firm active prior to its bankruptcy and sale in 2008. The firm did business in investment banking, equity and fixed-income sales, research and trading, investment management, private equity, and private banking. It was a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury securities market. Its primary subsidiaries included Lehman Brothers Inc., Neuberger Berman Inc., Aurora Loan Services, Inc., SIB Mortgage Corporation, Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, Eagle Energy Partners, and the Crossroads Group. The firm's worldwide headquarters were in New York City, with regional headquarters in London and Tokyo, as well as offices located throughout the world.

On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; the filing marks the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.[2] The following day, Barclays plc announced its agreement to purchase, subject to regulatory approval, Lehman's North American investment-banking and trading divisions along with its New York headquarters building.[3][4] On September 20, 2008, a revised version of that agreement was approved by Judge James Peck.[5]

On September 22, 2008, Nomura Holdings, Inc. announced it agreed to acquire Lehman Brothers' franchise in the Asia Pacific region including Japan and Australia.[6] The following day, Nomura announced its intentions to acquire Lehman Brothers' investment banking and equities businesses in Europe and the Middle East. A few weeks later it was announced that conditions to the deal had been met, and the deal became legally effective on Monday, 13 October.[7] In 2007, non-US subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers were responsible for over 50% of global revenue produced.

History

[edit] Under the Lehman family (1850–1969)

In 1844, 23-year-old Henry Lehman,[9] the son of a cattle merchant, emigrated to the United States from Rimpar, Bavaria.[10] He settled in Montgomery, Alabama,[9] where he opened a dry-goods store, "H. Lehman".[11] In 1847, following the arrival of Emanuel Lehman, the firm became "H. Lehman and Bro." [12] With the arrival of their youngest brother, Mayer Lehman, in 1850, the firm changed its name again and "Lehman Brothers" was founded.[11][13]

In the 1850s Southern United States, cotton was one of the most important crops. Capitalizing on cotton's high market value, the three brothers began to routinely accept raw cotton from customers as payment for merchandise, eventually beginning a second business trading in cotton. Within a few years this business grew to become the most significant part of their operation. Following Henry's death from yellow fever in 1855,[11][14] the remaining brothers continued to focus on their commodities-trading/brokerage operations.

Emanuel and Mayer LehmanBy 1858, the center of cotton trading had shifted from the South to New York City, where factors and commission houses were based. Lehman opened its first branch office in New York City's Manhattan borough at 119 Liberty Street,[14] and 32-year-old Emanuel relocated there to run the office.[11] In 1862, facing difficulties as a result of the Civil War, the firm teamed up with a cotton merchant named John Durr to form Lehman, Durr & Co.[15][16] Following the war the company helped finance Alabama's reconstruction. The firm's headquarters were eventually moved to New York City, where it helped found the New York Cotton Exchange in 1870;[14][17] Emanuel sat on the Board of Governors until 1884. The firm also dealt in the emerging market for railroad bonds and entered the financial-advisory business.

Lehman became a member of the Coffee Exchange as early as 1883 and finally the New York Stock Exchange in 1887.[14][17] In 1899, it underwrote its first public offering, the preferred and common stock of the International Steam Pump Company.

Despite the offering of International Steam, the firm's real shift from being a commodities house to a house of issue did not begin until 1906. In that year, under Philip Lehman, the firm partnered with Goldman, Sachs & Co.,[18][19] to bring the General Cigar Co. to market,[20] followed closely by Sears, Roebuck and Company [20]. During the following two decades, almost one hundred new issues were underwritten by Lehman, many times in conjunction with Goldman, Sachs. Among these were F.W. Woolworth Company,[21][20] May Department Stores Company, Gimbel Brothers, Inc.,[22] R.H. Macy & Company,[22] The Studebaker Corporation,[21] the B.F. Goodrich Co. and Endicott Johnson Corporation.

Herbert H. Lehman

Official U.S. Senate PhotoFollowing Philip Lehman's retirement in 1925, his son Robert "Bobbie" Lehman took over as head of the firm. During Bobbie's tenure, the company weathered the capital crisis of the Great Depression by focusing on venture capital while the equities market recovered. By 1928, the firm moved to its now famous One William Street location.

Traditionally, a family-only partnership, in 1924 John M. Hancock became the first non-family member to join the firm,[18][23] followed by Monroe C. Gutman and Paul Mazur in 1927.

In the 1930s, Lehman underwrote the initial public offering of the first television manufacturer, DuMont, and helped fund the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).[24] It also helped finance the rapidly growing oil industry, including the companies Halliburton and Kerr-McGee.

Pete PetersonIn the 1950s, Lehman underwrote the IPO of Digital Equipment Corporation. Later, it arranged the acquisition of Digital by Compaq. Robert Lehman died in 1969,[25] and since that time, no member of the Lehman family has led the company. Robert's death left a void in the company, which, coupled with a difficult economic environment, brought hard times to the firm. In 1973, Pete Peterson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bell & Howell Corporation, was brought in to save the firm.[25]

[edit] Merger with American Express (1969–94)

Under Peterson's leadership as Chairman and CEO, the firm acquired Abraham & Co. in 1975, and two years later merged with the venerable, but struggling, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. [25], to form Lehman Brothers, Kuhn, Loeb Inc., the country's fourth-largest investment bank, behind Salomon Brothers, Goldman Sachs and First Boston. [26] Peterson led the firm from significant operating losses to five consecutive years of record profits with a return on equity among the highest in the investment-banking industry.

Shearson Lehman/American Express LogoHowever, hostilities between the firm's investment bankers and traders (who were driving most of the firm's profits) prompted Peterson to promote Lewis Glucksman, the firm's President, COO and former trader, to be his co-CEO in May 1983. Glucksman introduced a number of changes that had the effect of increasing tensions, which when coupled with Glucksman’s management style and a downturn in the markets, resulted in a power struggle that ousted Peterson and left Glucksman as the sole CEO.[27] ,

Upset bankers, who had soured over the power struggle, left the company. Steve Schwarzman, chairman of the firm's M&A committee, recalled in a February 2003 interview with Private Equity International that "Lehman Brothers had an extremely competitive internal environment, which ultimately became dysfunctional." The company suffered under the disintegration, and Glucksman was pressured into selling the firm to Shearson, an American Express-backed electronic transaction company, in 1984, for $360 million. On May 11, the combined firms became Shearson Lehman/American Express.[27] In 1988, Shearson Lehman/American Express and E.F. Hutton & Co. merged as Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. [28]

[edit] Divestment and independence (1994–present)

In 1993, under newly appointed CEO, Harvey Golub, American Express began to divest itself of its banking and brokerage operations. It sold its retail brokerage and asset management operations to Primerica[29] and in 1994 it spun off Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb in an initial public offering, as Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. [30]

Despite rumors that it would be acquired again, Lehman performed quite well under CEO Richard S. Fuld, Jr.. In 2001, the firm acquired the private-client services, or "PCS", business of Cowen & Co. [31] and later, in 2003, aggressively re-entered the asset-management business, which it had exited in 1989.[32] Beginning with $2 billion in assets under management, the firm acquired the Crossroads Group, the fixed-income division of Lincoln Capital Management[32] and Neuberger Berman [33]. These businesses, together with the PCS business and Lehman's private-equity business, comprised the Investment Management Division, which generated approximately $3.1 billion in net revenue and almost $800 million in pre-tax income in 2007. Prior to going bankrupt, the firm had in excess of $275 billion in assets under management. Altogether, since going public in 1994, the firm had increased net revenues over 600% from $2.73 billion to $19.2 billion and had increased employee headcount over 230% from 8,500 to almost 28,600.

[edit] Response to September 11 terrorist attacks

The New York City headquarters.On September 11, 2001, Lehman occupied three floors of One World Trade Center where one employee was killed. Its global headquarters in Three World Financial Center were severely damaged and rendered unusable by falling debris, displacing over 6,500 employees. The bank recovered quickly and rebuilt its presence. Trading operations moved across the Hudson River to its Jersey City, New Jersey, facilities, where an impromptu trading floor was built and brought online less than forty-eight hours after the attacks. When stock markets reopened on September 17, 2001, Lehman's sales and trading capabilities were restored.

In the ensuing months, the firm fanned out its operations across the New York City metropolitan area in over forty temporary locations. Notably, the investment-banking division converted the first-floor lounges, restaurants, and all 665 guestrooms of the Sheraton Manhattan Hotel into office space. The bank also experimented with flextime (to share office space) and telecommuting via virtual private networking. In October 2001, Lehman purchased a 32-story, 1,050,000-square-foot office building for a reported sum of $700 million. The building, located at 745 Seventh Avenue, had recently been built, and not yet occupied, by rival Morgan Stanley. With Morgan Stanley's world headquarters located only two blocks away at 1585 Broadway, in the wake of the attacks the firm was re-evaluating its office plans which would have put over 10,000 employees in the Times Square area of New York City. Lehman began moving into the new facility in January and finished in March 2002, a move that significantly boosted morale throughout the firm.

The firm was criticized for not moving back to its former headquarters in lower Manhattan. Following the attacks, only Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch of the major firms remained in the downtown area. Lehman, however, points to the facts that it was committed to stay in New York City, that the new headquarters represented an ideal circumstance where the firm was desperate to buy and Morgan Stanley was desperate to sell, that when the new building was purchased, the structural integrity of Three World Financial Center had not yet been given a clean bill of health, and that in any case, the company could not have waited until May 2002 for repairs to Three World Financial Center to conclude.

After the attacks, Lehman's management placed increased emphasis on business continuity planning. Unlike its rivals, the company was unusually concentrated for a bulge-bracket investment bank. For example, Morgan Stanley maintains a 750,000-square-foot trading-and-banking facility in Westchester County, New York. The trading floor of UBS is located in Stamford, Connecticut. Merrill Lynch's asset-management division is located in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey. Aside from its headquarters in Three World Financial Center, Lehman maintained operations-and-backoffice facilities in Jersey City, space that the firm considered leaving prior to 9/11. The space was not only retained, but expanded, including the construction of a backup-trading facility. In addition, telecommuting technology first rolled out in the days following the attacks to allow employees to work from home was expanded and enhanced for general use throughout the firm. [34]

[edit] 2003 SEC litigation

In 2003, the company was one of ten firms which simultaneously entered into a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of the New York State Attorney General and various other securities regulators, regarding undue influence over each firm's research analysts by their investment-banking divisions. Specifically, regulators alleged that the firms had improperly associated analyst compensation with the firms' investment-banking revenues, and promised favorable, market-moving research coverage, in exchange for underwriting opportunities. The settlement, known as the “global settlement”, provided for total financial penalties of $1.4 billion, including $80 million against Lehman, and structural reforms, including a complete separation of investment banking departments from research departments, no analyst compensation, directly or indirectly, from investment-banking revenues, and the provision of free, independent, third-party, research to the firms' clients.

[edit] Subprime mortgage crisis

In August 2007, the firm closed its subprime lender, BNC Mortgage, eliminating 1,200 positions in 23 locations, and took an after-tax charge of $25 million and a $27 million reduction in goodwill. Lehman said that poor market conditions in the mortgage space "necessitated a substantial reduction in its resources and capacity in the subprime space". [35]

In 2008, Lehman faced an unprecedented loss to the continuing subprime mortgage crisis. Lehman's loss was apparently a result of having held on to large positions in subprime and other lower-rated mortgage tranches when securitizing the underlying mortgages; whether Lehman did this because it was simply unable to sell the lower-rated bonds, or made a conscious decision to hold them, is unclear. In any event, huge losses accrued in lower-rated mortgage-backed securities throughout 2008. In the second fiscal quarter, Lehman reported losses of $2.8 billion and was forced to sell off $6 billion in assets.[36] In the first half of 2008 alone, Lehman stock lost 73% of its value as the credit market continued to tighten. [36] In August 2008, Lehman reported that it intended to release 6% of its work force, 1,500 people, just ahead of its third-quarter-reporting deadline in September.[36]

On August 22, 2008, shares in Lehman closed up 5% (16% for the week) on reports that the state-controlled Korea Development Bank was considering buying the bank. [37] Most of those gains were quickly eroded as news came in that Korea Development Bank was "facing difficulties pleasing regulators and attracting partners for the deal." [38] It culminated on September 9, when Lehman's shares plunged 45% to $7.79, after it was reported that the state-run South Korean firm had put talks on hold. [39]

Investor confidence continued to erode as Lehman's stock lost roughly half its value and pushed the S&P 500 down 3.4% on September 9. The Dow Jones lost 300 points the same day on investors' concerns about the security of the bank. [40] The U. S. government did not announce any plans to assist with any possible financial crisis that emerged at Lehman. [41]

The next day, Lehman announced a loss of $3.9 billion and their intent to sell off a majority stake in their investment-management business, which includes Neuberger Berman. [42][43] The stock slid 7 percent that day. [43][44] Lehman, after earlier rejecting questions on the sale of the company, was reportedly searching for a buyer as its stock price dropped another 40 percent on September 11, 2008. [44]

Just before the collapse of Lehman Brothers, executives at Neuberger Berman sent e-mail memos suggesting, among other things, that the Lehman Brothers' top people forgo multi-million dollar bonuses to "send a strong message to both employees and investors that management is not shirking accountability for recent performance."

Lehman Brothers Investment Management Director George Herbert Walker IV, second cousin to U. S. President George Walker Bush, dismissed the proposal, going so far as to actually apologize to other members of the Lehman Brothers executive committee for the idea of bonus reduction having been suggested. He wrote, "Sorry team. I am not sure what's in the water at Neuberger Berman. I'm embarrassed and I apologize." [3]

Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy?

Lehman Brothers headquarters in New York CityOn September 13, 2008, Timothy F. Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York called a meeting on the future of Lehman, which included the possibility of an emergency liquidation of its assets.[45] Lehman reported that it had been in talks with Bank of America and Barclays for the company's possible sale. However, both Barclays and Bank of America ultimately declined to purchase the entire company.[45][46]

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) offered an exceptional trading session on Sunday, September 14, 2008, to allow market participants to offset positions in various derivatives on the condition of a Lehman bankruptcy later that day.[47][48] Although the bankruptcy filing missed the deadline, many dealers honored the trades they made in the special session.[49]

Lehman Brothers headquarters in New York City on September 15, 2008In New York, shortly before 1 a.m. the next morning, Lehman Brothers Holdings announced it would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection[50] citing bank debt of $613 billion, $155 billion in bond debt, and assets worth $639 billion.[51] It further announced that its subsidiaries will continue to operate as normal.[52] A group of Wall Street firms agreed to provide capital and financial assistance for the bank's orderly liquidation and the Federal Reserve, in turn, agreed to a swap of lower-quality assets in exchange for loans and other assistance from the government.[53]

The morning of September 15 witnessed scenes of Lehman employees removing computers, files, items with the company logo, and other belongings from the world headquarters at 745 Seventh Avenue. The spectacle continued throughout the day and into the following day. Some also signed a large pencil-drawn picture of CEO Richard S. Fuld, Jr., many of them denouncing him for greed and incompetence.

Lehman's bankruptcy is the largest failure of an investment bank since Drexel Burnham Lambert collapsed amid fraud allegations 18 years prior.[53] Later that day, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) suspended Lehman's Australian subsidiary as a market participant after clearing-houses terminated their contracts with the firm.[54]

Lehman shares tumbled over 90% on September 15, 2008.[55][56] The Dow Jones closed down just over 500 points on September 15, 2008, which was at the time the largest drop in a single day since the days following the attacks on September 11, 2001.[57]

In the United Kingdom, the investment bank went into administration with PricewaterhouseCoopers appointed as administrators.[58] In Japan, the Japanese branch, Lehman Brothers Japan Inc., and its holding company filed for civil reorganization on September 16, 2008, in Tokyo District Court.[59]

问题3：请解释雷曼兄弟破产的原因请不要粘贴些关于Lehman Brothers无法举债或无机构愿意注资施救的新闻.我想清楚知道它的致命点,是它本身次级贷款投资亏损,还是因它设立SPV机构所带来的风险,如资

当美国地产开始走低,贷款人发现自己的房子就算买了也还不起银行贷款,所以就选择不还款,本来还每年有10%利息回报的债券现在不但没有利息回报了,而且要去交易的话 还没人要买 于是这些债券基本就是废纸.但是要是投行也完全抛售的话 这个市场需求没有这么大 所以他们根本跑不了.

这就是为什么倒闭的都是投行 虽然银行还是有一些损失的 但是坏债都是投行吞了.

Lehman的主营是券商,提供客户融资,也就是我们说的放大炒股,这部分很好赚,但因为次贷债券的利息断流,债券想卖没人要,急需钱就在市场上抛了很多手里优质的投资组合,不过他筹钱的速度还是太慢了,其实只要Feb帮帮他,给他周转的话 他不会死的,我比较喜欢Lehman还有Goodman的操守,Merrill Lynch 还有JP margen都太恶毒了,160年的老字号 就这样垮了 看的很心痛

历史

[编辑] 1850年－1969年,雷曼家族掌控时期

亨利·雷曼（Henry Lehman）为卖牛商人之子,1844年23岁的亨利从德国巴伐利亚州的Rimpar市移民到美国,定居在阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利,在那里开了一家名为“H. Lehman”的干货商店.1847年,因伊曼纽尔·雷曼（Emanuel Lehman）到来,商号更名为“H. Lehman and Bro”.当1850年家中最小的弟弟迈尔·雷曼（Mayer Lehman）也到此地候,商号再次变更,定名为“Lehman Brothers”.

19世纪50年代的美国南部地区,棉花是最重要的农产品之一.利用棉花的高市场价值,三兄弟开始定期接受由客户付款的原棉贸易,最终开始棉花的二次商业贸易.几年之间这项业务的增长成为他们经营的主力项目.在1855年,亨利因罹患黄热病而过世后,另外两兄弟继续从事农产品期货生意和经纪商业务.

1858年因众多因素,棉花贸易中心由美国南方转移到纽约.雷曼在纽约市曼哈顿区自由大街119号开设第一家分支机构的办事处,当年32岁的伊曼纽尔负责办事处业务.1862年遭逢美国内战,因此公司和一个名为约翰·杜尔的棉商合并,组建了雷曼杜尔公司（Lehman, Durr & Co.）.

在内战结束后,公司为阿拉巴马州提供财务支持以协助重建.公司总部最终也搬到1870年创建纽约棉花交易所的纽约市.1884年伊曼纽尔设置了公司理事会,公司还在新兴市场从事铁路债券业务并进军金融咨询业务.

早在1883年,雷曼已成为咖啡交易所成员之一,到了1887年公司还加入纽约证券交易所.1899年,则开始首笔公开招股生意,为国际蒸汽泵公司招募优先股和普通股.

尽管提供国际蒸汽,但一直到1906年,公司才从一个贸易商真正转变成为证券发行公司.同一年在菲利普·雷曼的掌管下,雷曼公司与高盛公司合作,将西尔斯·罗巴克公司雨通用雪茄公司上市.

随后的二十年间,差不多有上百家新公司的上市都由雷曼兄弟协助,其中多次都和高盛公司合作.这些公司中有：F.W. Woolworth Company、May Department Stores Company、Gimbel Brothers, Inc.、R.H. Macy & Company、The Studebaker Corporation、the B.F. Goodrich Co. 以及 Endicott Johnson Corporation.

菲利普·雷曼于1925年退休,由他儿子罗伯特·雷曼（昵称“波比”）接手担任公司领导.波比领导期间,公司在股票市场复苏时由侧重于风险资本而度过了资本危机大萧条.1928年,公司搬到现在鼎鼎有名的威廉一街.

雷曼兄弟公司是传统的家族生意.但在1924年,约翰·M·汉考克以首位非家庭成员身份加入雷曼兄弟公司,接着在1927年门罗·C·古特曼和保罗·马祖尔也相继加盟.

二十世纪三十年代,雷曼兄弟签署了第一电视制造商杜蒙的首次公开招股,并为美国广播公司（RCA）提供资金协助.它也为快速增长的石油工业提供金融协助,其中包括了哈利伯顿公司（Halliburton）和科麦奇公司（Kerr-McGee）.

二十世纪五十年代,雷曼兄弟签署了数字设备公司的首次公开上市（IPO）.稍后,它又协助了康柏公司上市.罗伯特·雷曼于1969年去世,当时已经没有雷曼家族任何一位成员在公司任职.罗伯特死给公司留下了领导真空,加之当时经济不景,把公司带进困难期.1973年,贝尔豪威尔公司主席和首席执行官皮特·彼得森受聘挽救公司.
