TOKYO, Sept 22: Top Japanese brokerage group Nomura Holdings has won a deal to buy the entire Asian operations of failed US investment firm Lehman Brothers Holdings, two sources said on Monday.

“It should become official later today,” one of the sources told Dow Jones Newswires.

Standard Chartered PLC and Barclays PLC also placed bids for the assets, but Nomura offered the highest price, a second person said. The assets include all of Lehman’s operations in Asia, where it employs about 3,000 people.—AFP
