On October 30, 2003, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. distributed a communication
to U.S. Portfolio Sales and Sales/Trading employees containing the following
information:


Subject:  Discontinuation of Neuberger Research Sales

     o    Earlier today, NB announced that following the expected close of the
          transaction with Lehman, they will no longer publish research to
          external (sell-side) clients. This is due, in part, to regulatory
          requirements under the industry-wide research settlement. NB
          Research will be entirely focused on their (internal) asset
          management businesses

     o    Sell-side firms will no longer receive NB research nor be able to
          speak with NB Analysts nor attend meetings at NB where Analysts are
          present.

     o    NB and LB are working closely with all of the people affected
          through a transition process.

     o    Certain members of the NB Research Sales and Sale-Trading groups may
          join corresponding groups at Lehman, and the process to identify
          these people is underway.

     o    Most NB clients have Research Sales coverage at Lehman. For any
          client that doesn't, Lehman will assign coverage.
