  • Lehman Brothers
    Lehman Brothers Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets: LEHMQ, former NYSE ticker symbol LEH) (pronounced / ˈliːm ə n/ ) was a global financial services firm which, until declaring bankruptcy in 2008, participated in 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 following the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and devaluation of its assets by credit rating agencies. The filing marked the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.[2] The following day, the British bank Barclays 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 U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James M. Peck.[5] During the week of September 22, 2008, Nomura Holdings announced that it would acquire Lehman Brothers' franchise in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.[6] as well as, Lehman Brothers' investment banking and equities businesses in Europe and the Middle East.

  • Lehman Brothers: Reasons of Failure: (2007-2008) Ceos
    LEHMAN BROTHERS: Lehman was a global financial services firm. Lehman Brothers started in 1844 as a small grocery and dry goods store established by Henry Lehman. Later on they traded cotton, moved to New York and established New York Cotton Exchange. After this events Lehman continued on the road of success and before declaring bankruptcy in 2008, Lehman was the fourth largest investment bank in the USA with 26000 employees, doing business in investment banking, equity and fixed-income sales and trading (especially U.S. Treasury securities), market research, investment management, private equity, and private banking. On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for bankruptcy protection following the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and devaluation of its assets by credit rating agencies. The filing marked the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, which is a major cause of crisis. REASONS OF FAILURE: (2007-2008) There were many reasons behind the collapse of Lahman brothers but the main cause was technical issues and corporate governance failures. Lehman Brothers had very weak corporate governance arrangements. The main areas of weakness were board of directors, corporate risk management, remuneration scheme and nomination committees. As the crisis started in August 2007 with the failure of two funds Lehman’s stock fell sharply. During that month company eliminated 2,500 jobs and shut down its BNC unit. It also closed offices in three states. Lehman’s collapse was a seminal event that greatly intensified the 2008 crisis and contributed to the erosion of close to ten trillion in market capitalization from global equity markets in October 2008, the biggest monthly decline on record at the time.

Defendants. : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -x BARBARA S. JONES, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE INTRODUCTION This civil action was brought by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., against the defendants, VISA U.S.A. INC., (“Visa U.S.A.”), VISA INTERNATIONAL CORP., (“Visa International”) (collectively “Visa”) and MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED, (“MasterCard”). It involves the U.S. credit and charge card industry, which has only four significant network services competitors: American Express, a publicly owned corporation; Discover, a corporation owned by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter; and the defendants Visa and MasterCard, which are joint ventures, each owned by associations of thousands of banks. The Government claims, in two counts, that each of the defendants is in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which provides that “every contract, combination in the 1 form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States ... is declared to be illegal.” 15 U.S.C. § 1. Count One centers around the governance rules of Visa and MasterCard, which permit members of each association to sit on the Board of Directors of either Visa or MasterCard, although they may not sit on both. Count Two targets the associations’ exclusionary rules, under which members of each association are able to issue credit or charge cards of the other association, but may not offer American Express or Discover cards.
