As indenture trustee, Wilmington Trust was appointed today by the United States Trustee to serve on the unsecured creditors' committee in the Lehman Holdings case. In this capacity, Wilmington Trust provides trust and administrative services for some of Lehman Holdings' creditors. Through its CCS business, Wilmington Trust is paid a fee for these services, which are specified in documents that govern the trust. Wilmington Trust has no credit or investment exposure to Lehman Holdings in either its loan or investment securities portfolios.
"Our appointment as indenture trustee in this case reflects our position as a premier provider of trustee and administrative services for corporate clients," said Ted T. Cecala, Wilmington Trust's chairman and chief executive officer. "Lehman Holdings' bankruptcy filing does not affect our balance sheet or bottom line, and it poses no credit or investment risk to us."
