History

Historical Context

Lehman Brothers, founded in 1850, built a $680 billion balance sheet with a 31:1 leverage ratio by 2007, exposing it to the subprime collapse. After reporting a $3.9 billion loss and failing to secure a buyer, it filed Chapter 11 on September 15 2008, creating the largest U.S. bankruptcy and prompting emergency Fed liquidity and asset sales to Barclays and Nomura.
