Equity Investment – “Private Equity Placement”: Weather Storm With Safe Equities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 12, 2009 -- Private Equity Placement are thought to expect Barclays Plc, Britain’s third- biggest bank, to buy Lehman Brothers North American business for $1.75 billion.
A source close to Private Equity Placement also alluded to plans in existence to purchase Lehman's investment banking, fixed-income and equities sales, trading and research divisions in North America.

Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy less than 24 hours after Barclays abandoned talks to buy all of Lehman after the US Government refused to provide assurance on certain aspects of Lehman’s risk exposure.

Private Equity Placement believe that Barclays would have preferred to acquire Lehman whole but wanted similar assurances to those granted to JP Morgan Chase when they took over Bear Stearns in March.
