Bank of America Said to Walk Away From Talks to Buy Lehman

Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp. abandoned talks to buy Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., according to a person with knowledge of the matter, less than three hours after Barclays Plc said it wouldn't buy the faltering investment bank.
Bank of America, the biggest U.S. consumer bank, and Barclays, the U.K.'s third-largest lender, had been among the leading candidates to acquire all or parts of New York-based Lehman.
The two potential bidders pulled out amid a third day of emergency negotiations led by the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, Leigh Bruce, a spokesman for London-based Barclays, said in a phone interview today.
The U.S. government is racing to find a solution for Lehman before markets open tomorrow, two people familiar with the situation said. Barclays walked away because it couldn't get guarantees from the government or agree on a private-sector deal to mitigate what it called Lehman's ``open-ended'' trading obligations.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Richard Fuld, Lehman may be forced to liquidate unless buyers step up for all or part of the 158-year-old company, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Tim Geithner, head of the New York Federal Reserve, told the chiefs of Wall Street's biggest firms at a meeting Sept. 12. Paulson said he was reluctant to use government money to rescue Lehman.

John Mack, chief executive of Morgan Stanley, and John Thain, chief executive of Merrill Lynch, were among those present at the meeting, which lasted for two hours.
The Friday meeting comes as Lehman faces a weekend of desperate negotiations as executives battle to arrange a rescue bid for the 158-year-old US bank.
Bank of America is seen as the leading candidate to buy Lehman. It is considering a possible joint takeover bid with JC Flowers , the financial investor, and China Investment Co, the Chinese sovereign wealth fund. UK bank Barclays is also interested.
Christopher Flowers, a former Goldman Sachs partner who is close to BofA, manages about $3.2bn of CIC’s money in a fund dedicated to taking stakes in financial institutions.
A senior executive at CIC declined to comment. BofA and Lehman declined to comment. Mr Flowers could not be reached.
