9 September 2008

Lehman Brothers Private Equity Partners Limited ("LBPE" or "the
Company"), a closed-end private equity fund of funds investment
company, today announced an updated valuation of its Net Asset Value
("NAV").

As of 31 August 2008, the unaudited NAV per share was $10.81. This
represents a decrease of 0.3% compared to the unaudited 31 July 2008
NAV per share of $10.84 and an increase of 4.2% compared to the
audited 31 December 2007 NAV per share of $10.37.

During August, LBPE's portfolio benefited from unrealized
appreciation in the value of a direct co-investment in the energy
services sector and net increases in the value of certain fund
investments, driven primarily by U.S. buyout and growth equity funds.
The portfolio also experienced positive mark-to-market adjustments on
publicly traded equity securities. However, these increases in value
were offset by negative foreign exchange adjustments resulting from
significant appreciation of the U.S. dollar during August and, less
meaningfully, by net decreases in the value of credit-related fund
investments.

LBPE also expects to provide regular NAV updates for the months
ending 30 September 2008 and 31 October 2008 within seven business
days of each month's end.

A breakdown of LBPE's NAV can be obtained in the monthly report for
the period ending 31 August 2008, which is published on the Company's
Web site at www.lbpe.com. The monthly report should be read in
conjunction with this announcement.

In addition, please be advised that required tax information for U.S.
shareholders of LBPE was recently published on the Company's Web
site. The new information can be found by visiting the Tax
Information page on the Investor Relations section of www.lbpe.com.
