New York (Inc. in Delaware). 5 Shares Common Stock, I/U, Black print on green border and under tint, Image of founding of company at top middle in Montgomery, Alabama with portraits of founders Mayer & Emanuel Lehman at bottom corners, VF-XF condition, ABNC. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. was a global financial services firm. Before filing for bankruptcy in 2008, Lehman was the fourth-largest investment bank in the United States (behind Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch), doing business in investment banking, equity and fixed-income sales and trading (especially U.S. Treasury securities), research, investment management, private equity, and private banking. Lehman was operational for 158 years from its founding in 1850 until 2008. 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 assets by credit rating agencies, largely sparked by Lehman’s involvement in the subprime mortgage crisis, and its exposure to less liquid assets. Lehman’s bankruptcy filing is the largest in US history, and is thought to have played a major role in the unfolding of the late-2000s global financial crisis. The market collapse also gave support to the “Too Big To Fail” doctrine. Rare and historic stock certificate. ��������������������������������������������� Est. $650-950
