Lehman Taps Salomon Bank Research Execs

Lehman Brothers Inc. has hired Salomon Brothers Inc. analysts Diane Glossman and Michael Plodwick to bolster its bank research team.

Ms. Glossman, who covers Citicorp, Chase Manhattan Corp., and other money-centers, and Mr. Plodwick, who follows regional banks such as NationsBank Corp., fill vacancies on Lehman's research desk. The analysts joined the firm last week, Mr. Plodwick said.

The moves stem from Travelers Group Inc.'s $9 billion acquisition of Salomon, which closed Friday. Travelers, which owns Smith Barney Inc., said the combination would result in more than 1,000 job cuts, including the elimination of about 35 senior and junior equity research analysts' jobs.
