ProFund Notes

In the following, we provide answers to some questions which apply generally to the ProFund
Notes, but holders should be aware that each series of ProFund Notes is different and the
status of their series may therefore differ in some respects from the general answers given
here. The structure of the ProFund Notes and the rights of holders are explained more fully in
the prospectuses for the issues.
See the section of the issue prospectuses headed “Information about us and how our Notes
are secured” for a general description of the collateral and the swap arrangements.

What is the current status of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.?
On 15 September 2008 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) filed a petition (the “Petition”)
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court of the
Southern District of New York.
What is the role of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the ProFund Notes?
LBHI is the swap guarantor and is the guarantor of the collateral for the ProFund Notes.
The swap counterparty for the ProFund Notes is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LBHI.
What is the collateral for the ProFund Notes?

The collateral consists of debt obligations of Lehman. Holders of the ProFund Notes rely on
the creditworthiness of Lehman for payments on their Notes.
How does this affect the ProFund Notes?

According to ISDA (the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc., an industry
body), the filing of the Petition constitutes an event of default under swaps such as the swap
arrangements which Atlantic International Finance Limited, the issuer of the ProFund Notes,
has entered into with Lehman. This means that the ProFund Notes will, subject to conditions
and to a number of other procedures, be subject to early redemption.
What happens if the ProFund Notes are redeemed early?

After the termination of the swap arrangements, the ProFund Notes would become subject to
early redemption and the collateral for the ProFund Notes would be sold in the market. The
proceeds of sale of the collateral would be adjusted to take account of any payment which is
due to, or due from, Lehman on termination of the swap arrangements and for the costs, fees
and expenses of making the sale. The proceeds would then be available for repayment of the
ProFund Notes. The amount of the available proceeds will depend on many factors, including
the nature and current market value of the collateral underlying the particular series of
ProFund Notes. However, it is likely that the redemption of the ProFund Notes would be at
significantly less than their principal amount because the proceeds of sale of the collateral will
reflect the fact that Lehman, with its guarantor LBHI having filed the Petition, is unlikely to be
able to meet its payment obligations under the collateral in full.
How much will holders get back? When will they get it?

The amount holders will get back depends on many things, but mainly on the current market
value (assuming a purchaser can be found) of the Lehman debt obligations which are the
collateral underlying a series of ProFund Notes and on whether an early termination amount
is due to or from Lehman on termination of the swap arrangements. The early redemption of
the ProFund Notes of particular series and the sale of collateral, termination of swap
arrangements and eventual distribution of proceeds to holders are not within the control of
Lehman and may be expected to take some time to resolve.
Who are the trustees for the ProFund Notes? What action are they taking?
Lehman has made initial contact with the trustee for the ProFund Notes. Further information
is expected shortly from the trustee as to next steps.
