Italian term (edited):
ha attinto
Selected
added
... added subprime bonds...
Meaning that Lehman Bros also added to the US bankruptcy proceeding some bonds issued by non-USA branches, including Italian ones. This creates a particular issue for Italian investors.

Well, on second thoughts, literally "ha attinto" means picked from, but IMO my first translation should work better in English.

drew on
In the bankruptcy proceedings Lehman also drew on its subordinated bonds issued by foreign subsidiaries in order to pay off its creditors.
In the simple metaphorical sense of drawing water from a well (attingere acqua dal pozzo) and drawing money from a bank or to draw on your reserves (of money or energy).
Past simple tense because this is virtually history now.
