Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On December 29, 2008, LPL Investment Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it is taking actions to reduce its operating costs as part of a comprehensive strategic business review. This strategic business review is designed to best align the strengths of the company’s business model with fast-changing market opportunities and challenges, improve overall operational efficiencies and position the company for continued financial resilience throughout this period of unprecedented market and economic dislocation. The cost reduction initiatives that are part of this business review include a reduction in the Company’s overall workforce of approximately 275 employees, or approximately 10% of its workforce. The Company informed all employees of its plans on December 29, 2008 and expects to complete all activities associated with the restructuring by January 31, 2009.

As a result of these cost reduction initiatives, the Company expects to incur aggregate restructuring charges and other costs of approximately $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. These anticipated charges primarily consist of severance and similar personnel-related expenses.
