Bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. alleged in a lawsuit that Intel Corp., the world’s largest chipmaker, breached a $1 billion swap agreement.

Under a 2008 accord, Intel gave $1 billion to Lehman’s over-the-counter derivatives unit in August of that year in exchange for 50 million shares of its stock, to be delivered on Sept. 29, 2008, according to a complaint filed yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
