Jefferies (NYSE: JEF) prices 2031 autocallable barrier notes tied to KRE and S&P 500
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is issuing $205,000 of Senior Autocallable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes due December 31, 2031, as part of its Series A Global Medium‑Term Notes program. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays a quarterly contingent coupon of $27.50 only if the worst-performing of the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX) is at or above a preset barrier level.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus any due coupon, if on any quarterly call date (starting in late 2026) the worst-performing underlying is at or above its initial level. If the notes are not called and, at maturity, the worst-performing underlying is at or above 70% of its initial value, investors receive full principal; if it is below 70%, repayment is reduced 1‑for‑1 with the decline, up to a complete loss of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Jefferies, are not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on Jefferies’ credit. The issue price is $1,000 per note, with an estimated value of $949.30 and underwriting discounts of 3.50%, resulting in 96.50% of proceeds to Jefferies before expenses.

| ☐ |
float-adjusted market capitalization above US$500 million and float-adjusted liquidity ratio above 90%; or
|
| ☐ |
float-adjusted market capitalization above US$400 million and float-adjusted liquidity ratio above 150%.
|
| ☐ |
Market Capitalization: Float-adjusted market capitalization should be at least US$400 million for inclusion in the Underlying Index. Existing index components must have a float-adjusted market
capitalization of US$300 million to remain in the Underlying Index at each rebalancing.
|
| ☐ |
Liquidity: The liquidity measurement used is a liquidity ratio, defined as dollar value traded over the previous 12-months divided by the float-adjusted market capitalization as of the Underlying
Index rebalancing reference date. Stocks having a float-adjusted market capitalization above US$500 million must have a liquidity ratio greater than 90% to be eligible for addition to the Underlying Index. Stocks having a
float-adjusted market capitalization between US$400 and US$500 million must have a liquidity ratio greater than 150% to be eligible for addition to the
|
|
Underlying Index. Existing index constituents must have a liquidity ratio greater than 50% to remain in the Underlying Index at the quarterly rebalancing. The length of time to evaluate liquidity
is reduced to the available trading period for IPOs or spin-offs that do not have 12 months of trading history.

FAQ
What are Jefferies (JEF) Senior Autocallable Contingent Coupon Barrier Notes?
These are senior unsecured notes of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. that pay quarterly contingent coupons and return of principal based on the performance of the worst-performing of the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX).
How much is Jefferies (JEF) raising with these 2031 autocallable notes?
The notes have an aggregate principal amount of $205,000, issued at $1,000 per note. Before expenses, Jefferies expects to receive $197,825 after underwriting discounts and commissions.
What income do investors receive from the Jefferies autocallable notes?
Investors may receive a contingent coupon of $27.50 per note each quarter. A coupon is paid only if, on the relevant observation date, the worst-performing underlying is at or above its specified coupon barrier level.
When can the Jefferies notes be called before maturity?
Starting on December 29, 2026, and quarterly thereafter, the notes are automatically called if the worst-performing underlying is at or above its call value (100% of its initial level). If called, investors receive the stated principal amount plus any due coupon, and no further payments are made.
How is principal on the Jefferies notes protected or at risk at maturity?
If the notes are not called and, on the December 29, 2031 valuation date, the worst-performing underlying is at or above its threshold value (70% of its initial level), investors receive the full $1,000 principal per note.

What key risks are highlighted for investors in the Jefferies autocallable notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing some or all principal if the worst-performing underlying finishes below its threshold, the chance of receiving no coupons if barriers are not met, exposure to Jefferies’ credit risk, a lower estimated value ($949.30) than the $1,000 issue price, and limited or no secondary market liquidity.
