NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (NYSE:LEH - News) shares sank as much as 40 percent on Tuesday on concern that talks on a possible investment from Korea Development Bank had broken down and that the fourth-largest Wall Street investment bank would be unable to raise needed capital.

Shares began falling after a Dow Jones Newswires report that the chairman of South Korea's top securities regulator, Jun Kwang-woo, had said talks between Lehman and KDB had ended. A spokesman for the regulator denied the report, telling Reuters that Jun never made any such declaration.
The Dow article also quoted an unnamed government official as saying KDB had decided not to invest in Lehman.
"The market fears that no one will inject capital in the company," said Nick Kalivas, equity market analyst at MF Global Research in Chicago.
In afternoon trading, Lehman shares were down $5.50, or 38.9 percent, at $8.65 on the New York Stock Exchange. They earlier touched $8.50, their lowest level since October 1998, Reuters data show.
A Lehman spokeswoman and representatives for the U.S. Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission declined to comment. A U.S. Treasury Department spokeswoman said the department stays in touch with Wall Street on a regular basis.
Standard & Poor's said it may cut Lehman's "single-A" long-term credit rating, its fifth-lowest investment grade, citing "heightened uncertainty" about the bank's ability to raise capital as its shares fall. It said a downgrade could be more than one notch.
Lehman shares were down 87 percent from a 52-week high of $67.73, set last Nov 14.
"This has been going on for a while now and people are worried about liquidity, survival," said Rose Grant, a portfolio manager at Eastern Investment Advisors in Boston. She said the firm invests $1.8 billion and has never owned Lehman shares.
