[424B5] Jefferies Financial Group Inc. Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering senior unsecured securities linked to an equally weighted basket of Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC) and RTX (RTX). Each security has a $1,000 face amount, does not pay periodic interest or dividends and is repayable in cash at maturity on October 20, 2028. If the Basket increases, holders receive the face amount plus 100% participation up to a capped upside of at least 36.00% (maximum maturity payment at least $1,360). If the Basket decreases, investors have 1-to-1 exposure to the first 10% decline and may lose up to $100 (receive minimum $900). Jefferies estimates the securities' value at approximately $954.30 on the pricing date; all payments are subject to Jefferies' credit risk.

Positive

• Minimum payment of $900 (90% of face amount) limits maximum loss to 10% at maturity
• 100% upside participation in basket gains up to a capped return, with a minimum stated maximum return of 36.00%
• Exposure is diversified across three major defense companies: LMT, NOC, and RTX

Negative

• No periodic interest or dividends; return realized only at maturity and may be lower than direct stock ownership
• Estimated value on pricing date of approximately $954.30 is below the $1,000 original offering price
• All payments are subject to Jefferies' credit risk; holders cannot claim against underlying stock issuers
• Upside is capped (maximum maturity payment at least $1,360), limiting gains compared with direct equity exposure

Insights

Structured-Product Specialist

TL;DR: Principal-at-risk note with 100% upside participation capped at a minimum 36% and 10% downside protection.

The securities combine a zero-coupon debt element with derivatives to replicate exposure to a 3-stock defense basket (LMT, NOC, RTX). The payoff gives 100% participation in positive basket return up to a capped 36.00% and limits losses to the first 10% decline (minimum payment $900). This structure shifts market return risk into a single maturity payoff and removes periodic coupons.

Because Jefferies is the issuer and calculation agent, payments and valuation depend on its credit and on model inputs used to price the derivative component; the estimated value on pricing date is $954.30 versus the offering price of $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and expected hedging profits.

Tax Counsel Summary

TL;DR: Treated as a contingent payment debt instrument for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Jefferies (counsel Sidley Austin LLP) advises holders that the securities should be taxed as debt with accruals determined by a comparable yield and projected payment schedule provided by the issuer. Holders may be required to include deemed interest annually even though no cash is paid until maturity.

Non-U.S. holders should note potential withholding risks under 871(m) rules and FATCA; Jefferies states it currently does not expect 871(m) withholding to apply as of issue.

Equity Linked Securities

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

■ Linked to an approximately equally-weighted Basket comprised of the common stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation (33.34%); the common stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation (33.33%); and the common stock of RTX Corporation (33.33%).

■ Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment at maturity equal to only 90% of the face amount. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Basket from its starting level to its ending level. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:

■     If the value of the Basket increases, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to 100% of the percentage increase in the value of the Basket from the starting level, subject to a maximum return at maturity of at least 36.00% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount. As a result of the maximum return, the maximum maturity payment amount will be at least $1,360.00

■      If the value of the Basket remains unchanged, you will receive the face amount

■      If the value of the Basket decreases, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decrease in the value of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and you may lose up to 10% of the face amount

■ Investors may lose up to 10% of the face amount

■ All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk, and you will have no ability to pursue the Underlying Stock Issuer of any Basket Component for payment; if we default on our obligations under the securities, you could lose some or all of your investment

■ No periodic interest payments or dividends

■ No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $954.30, or within $30.00 of that estimate.  Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PRS-9 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement.

The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. and, accordingly, all payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the securities, you could lose some or all of your investment. The securities are not savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of a depository institution and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Deposit Insurance Fund or any other governmental agency.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

Estimated Value of the Securities

The face amount of each security is $1,000.  The original issue price will equal 100% of the face amount per security.  This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price.  We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $954.30, or within $30.00 of that estimate.  Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement.

Valuation of the Securities

Jefferies LLC calculated the estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on its proprietary pricing models at that time. Jefferies LLC’s proprietary pricing models generated an estimated value for the securities by estimating the value of a hypothetical package of financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the securities, which consists of a fixed-income bond (the “bond component”) and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the securities (the “derivative component”). In calculating the estimated value of the derivative component, Jefferies LLC estimated future cash flows based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model that is in turn based on various inputs, including the factors described under “Selected Risk Considerations—The estimated value of the securities was determined for us by our subsidiary using proprietary pricing models” below. These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by Jefferies LLC in its discretionary judgment. Estimated cash flows on the bond and derivative components were discounted using a discount rate based on our internal funding rate.

The estimated value of the securities is a function of the terms of the securities and the inputs to Jefferies LLC’s proprietary pricing models.  The range for the estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover page of this preliminary pricing supplement reflects uncertainty on the date of this preliminary pricing supplement about the inputs to Jefferies LLC’s proprietary pricing models on the pricing date.

Since the estimated value of the securities is a function of the underlying assumptions and construction of Jefferies LLC’s proprietary derivative-pricing model, modification to this model will impact the estimated value calculation.  Jefferies LLC’s proprietary models are subject to ongoing review and modification, and Jefferies LLC may change them at any time and for a variety of reasons.  In the event of a model change, prior descriptions of the model and computations based on the older model will be superseded, and calculations of estimated value under the new model may differ significantly from those under the older model.  Further, model changes may cause a larger impact on the estimated value of a note with a particular return formula than on a similar note with a different return formula.  For example, to the extent a return formula contains leverage, model changes may cause a larger impact on the estimated value of that note than on a similar note without such leverage.

WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 3-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of their affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in their original offering price.  Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, WFS has advised us that any secondary market price it, WFA or any of their affiliates offers during this period will be higher than it otherwise would be after this period, as any secondary market price offered after this period will reflect the full deduction of the costs as described above. WFS has advised us that the amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 3-month period.

The relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities

The price at which the agents or any of their respective affiliates purchase the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to interest rates and the Market Measure, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as a bid-offer spread that would be charged in a secondary market transaction of this type, the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions and other factors.

The agents and/or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

■ seek 100% exposure to the upside performance of the Basket if the ending level is greater than the starting level, subject to the maximum return at maturity of at least 36.00% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount;

■ desire to limit downside exposure to the Basket through the minimum payment at maturity;

■ are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending level is less than the starting level, they will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the value of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and may lose up to 10% of the face amount per security at maturity;

■ are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the Basket Components; and

■ are willing to hold the securities until maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

■ seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;

■ are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Basket may decrease from the starting level, in which case they will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the value of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and may lose up to 10% of the face amount per security at maturity.

■ seek uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the Basket;

■ seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

■ are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;

■ seek current income;

■ are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Basket;

■ seek exposure to the Basket but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;

■ are unwilling to accept our credit risk, to obtain exposure to the Basket generally, or to the exposure to the Basket that the securities provide specifically; or

■ prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Basket Components, please see the section titled “The Basket Components” below.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Securities Generally

If The Ending Level Is Less Than The Starting Level, You Will Lose Some, And Possibly Up To 10%, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending level of the Basket relative to the starting level and the other terms of the securities. Because the value of the Basket will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.

If the ending level is less than the starting level, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the value of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and you may lose up to 10% of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the value of the Basket is greater than or equal to the starting level at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount may only be slightly greater than the face amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of ours or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities.

Your Return Will Be Limited To The Maximum Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Basket Components.

The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the value of the Basket through an investment in the securities will be limited because any positive return on the securities will not exceed the maximum return. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Basket Components. Furthermore, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for all ending levels exceeding the ending level at which the maximum return is reached.

Changes In The Price Of The Basket Components May Offset Each Other.

Price movements in the Basket Components may not correlate with each other. Even if the final component price of a Basket Component increases, the final component price of one or more other Basket Components may not increase as much or may even decline in price. Therefore, in calculating the ending level, an increase in the final component price of a Basket Component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by a lesser increase or a decline in the final component price of another Basket Component.

The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If The Calculation Day Is Postponed.

The calculation day will be postponed if the originally scheduled calculation day is not a trading day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on the calculation day. If such a postponement occurs, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the initial stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the calculation day as postponed.

The Tax Consequences Of An Investment In Your Securities Are Uncertain.

The tax consequences of an investment in your securities are uncertain, both as to the timing and character of any inclusion in income in respect of your securities.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) announced on December 7, 2007 that it is considering issuing guidance regarding the tax treatment of an instrument such as your securities, and any such guidance could adversely affect the value and the tax treatment of your securities. Among other things, the IRS may decide to require the holders to accrue ordinary income on a current basis and recognize ordinary income on payment at maturity, and could subject non-U.S. investors to withholding tax. Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders that acquired instruments such as your securities after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such instruments even though there will be no interest payments over the term of such instruments. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your securities. We describe these developments in more detail under “Supplemental Discussion of

PRS-9

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – U.S. Holders – Possible Change in Law” below. You should consult your tax advisor about this matter. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, we intend to continue treating the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below unless and until such time as Congress, the Treasury Department or the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your securities in your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To An Investment In Our Debt Securities, Including The Securities

The Securities Are Subject To Our Credit Risk.

The securities are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any other third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to our creditworthiness and you will have no ability to pursue the Underlying Stock Issuer of any Basket Component for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we were to default on our obligations under the securities, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date, Based On Jefferies LLC Proprietary Pricing Models At That Time And Our Internal Funding Rate, Will Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.

The difference is attributable to certain costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in the original offering price.  These costs include (i) the selling concessions paid in connection with the offering of the securities, (ii) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our subsidiaries in connection with the offering of the securities and (iii) the expected profit (which may be more or less than actual profit) to Jefferies LLC or other of our subsidiaries in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities.  These costs adversely affect the economic terms of the securities because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.  The economic terms of the securities are also likely to be adversely affected by the use of our internal funding rate, rather than our secondary market rate, to price the securities.  See “The estimated value of the securities would be lower if it were calculated based on our secondary market rate” below.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Was Determined For Us By Our Subsidiary Using Proprietary Pricing Models.

Jefferies LLC derived the estimated value disclosed on the cover page of this pricing supplement from its proprietary pricing models at that time.  In doing so, it may have made discretionary judgments about the inputs to its models, such as the volatility of the Market Measure.  Jefferies LLC’s views on these inputs and assumptions may differ from your or others’ views, and as an agent in this offering, Jefferies LLC’s interests may conflict with yours.  Both the models and the inputs to the models may prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the securities.  Moreover, the estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement may differ from the value that we or our subsidiaries may determine for the securities for other purposes, including for accounting purposes.  You should not invest in the securities because of the estimated value of the securities.  Instead, you should be willing to hold the securities to maturity irrespective of the initial estimated value.

Since the estimated value of the securities is a function of the underlying assumptions and construction of Jefferies LLC’s proprietary derivative-pricing model, modifications to this model will impact the estimated value calculation.  Jefferies LLC’s proprietary models are subject to ongoing review and modification, and Jefferies LLC may change them at any time and for a variety of reasons.  In the event of a model change, prior descriptions of the model and computations based on the older model will be superseded, and calculations of estimated value under the new model may differ significantly from those under the older model.  Further, model changes may cause a larger impact on the estimated value of a note with a particular return formula than on a similar note with a different return formula.  For example, to the extent a return formula contains leverage, model changes may cause a larger impact on the estimated value of that note than on a similar note without such leverage.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Would Be Lower If It Were Calculated Based On Our Secondary Market Rate.

The estimated value of the securities included in this pricing supplement is calculated based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate at which we are willing to borrow funds through the issuance of the securities.  Our internal funding rate is generally lower than our secondary market rate, which is the rate that Jefferies LLC will use in determining the value of the securities for purposes of any purchases of the securities from you in the secondary market.  If the estimated value included in this pricing supplement were based on our secondary market rate, rather than our internal funding rate, it would likely be lower.  We determine our internal funding rate based on factors such as the costs associated with the securities, which are generally higher than the costs associated with conventional debt securities, and our liquidity needs and preferences.  Our internal funding rate is not the same as the interest that is payable on the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

Because there is not an active market for traded instruments referencing our outstanding debt obligations, Jefferies LLC determines our secondary market rate based on the market price of traded instruments referencing our debt obligations, but subject to adjustments that Jefferies LLC makes in its sole discretion.  As a result, our secondary market rate is not a market-determined measure of our creditworthiness, but rather reflects the market’s perception of our creditworthiness as adjusted for discretionary factors such as Jefferies LLC’s preferences with respect to purchasing the securities prior to maturity.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS, Jefferies LLC Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

Any such secondary market price will fluctuate over the term of the securities based on the market and other factors described in the next risk factor.  In addition, any secondary market price for the securities will be reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate stated principal amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding related hedging transactions.  As a result, it is likely that any secondary market price for the securities will be less than the original offering price.

WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of their affiliates will be affected by changes in market conditions and other factors described in the next risk factor. WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 3-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of their affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in their original offering price.  Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, WFS has advised us that any secondary market price it, WFA or any of their affiliates offers during this period will be higher than it otherwise would be after this period, as any secondary market price offered after this period will reflect the full deduction of the costs as described above. WFS has advised us that the amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 3‑month period.  WFS has advised us that, if you hold the securities through an account with WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, WFS expects that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement.  If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to stated maturity will be affected by the then-current value of the Basket, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which we refer to as the “derivative component factors,” and which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the securities: Basket performance; interest rates; volatility of the Basket; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on the Basket Components.  When we refer to the “value” of your security, we mean the value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the stated maturity date.

In addition to the derivative component factors, the value of the securities will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness.  You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the value of the Basket.  Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the value of the Basket may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities. We anticipate that the value of the securities will always be at a discount to the face amount plus the maximum return.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although the agents and/or their respective affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agents are willing to buy your securities. If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to stated maturity.

Risks Relating To The Basket Components

The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Basket And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

• Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Basket Components. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Basket Components. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the Basket Components for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on the Basket Components. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Basket Components would have.

• Historical Prices Of The Basket Components Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Basket Components During The Term Of The Securities.

• We Cannot Control Actions By The Underlying Stock Issuer of any Basket Component.

• We And Our Subsidiaries Have No Affiliation With The Underlying Stock Issuer of any Basket Component And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information.

• The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than an Original Underlying Stock Issuer.

• You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection.

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Investing In Stocks In The Defense Sector.

The basket components are issued by companies whose primary business is directly associated with the defense sector. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the basket components, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in the stocks of companies in the defense sector. The profitability of these companies is largely dependent on, among other things, U.S. government contracts, military demand, government regulation, material costs and availability, continued innovation and the success of various research endeavors, funding, talent attraction and retention, and industry competition. In addition, adverse economic, business, market, environmental, labor, tax or political developments affecting the U.S., the areas of the world in which these companies operate and/or the defense sector could adversely affect the prices of the basket components, and increase the volatility of the Basket.

The value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting the defense sector than a different investment linked to a more broadly diversified group of underlying stock issuers. All of these factors could have an adverse effect on the price of the basket components and, therefore, on the value of the securities.

Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a “participating dealer,” are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities.  In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our subsidiaries or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities.  Our subsidiaries or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

• The calculation agent is our subsidiary and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the securities. JFSI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jefferies Financial Group Inc., will be the calculation agent for the securities.  As calculation agent, JFSI will determine any values of the Basket and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, JFSI may be required to make discretionary judgments that may adversely affect any payments on the securities.  See the sections entitled “General Terms of the Securities— Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Market Disruption Events,” and “—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that JFSI is our subsidiary may cause it to have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and JFSI’s determinations as calculation agent may adversely affect your return on the securities.

• Research reports by our subsidiaries or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the securities and may adversely affect the value of the Basket.

• Business activities of our subsidiaries or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the Underlying Stock Issuer of any Basket Component may adversely affect the value of the Basket.

• Trading activities by our subsidiaries or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the value of the Basket.

• A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any selling concession and/or distribution expense fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.

Hypothetical Examples and Returns

The payout profile, return table and examples below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a $1,000 face amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual initial component price. The hypothetical initial component price of $100.00 for each Basket Component has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual initial component price of any Basket Component. The actual initial component price of each Basket Component will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Basket Components, see the historical information set forth herein. The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

	Upside Participation Rate:		100.00%
	Hypothetical Maximum Return:		36.00% of the face amount or $360.00 per security (the lowest possible maximum return that may be determined on the pricing date)
	Hypothetical Initial Component Price:		For each Basket Component, $100.00
	Starting Level:		100.00
	Minimum Payment at Maturity:		$900.00 per security (90% of the face amount)

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

 Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Three Defense Sector Stocks due October 20, 2028

Hypothetical Examples

Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:

		Common Stock of RTX Corporation	Common Stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation	Common Stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation
	Initial component price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
	Final component price:	$107.00	$104.00	$104.00
	Component return:	7.00%	4.00%	4.00%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (33.33% × 7.00%) + (33.33% × 4.00%) + (33.34% × 4.00%)] = 105.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:

(i) $1,000 × basket return × upside participation rate

$1,000 × 5.00% × 100.00%

= $50.00; and

(ii) the maximum return of $360.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,050.00 per security.

Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:

		Common Stock of RTX Corporation	Common Stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation	Common Stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation
	Initial component price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
	Final component price:	$126.00	$160.00	$140.00
	Component return:	26.00%	60.00%	40.00%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (33.33% × 26.00%) + (33.33% × 60.00%) + (33.34% × 40.00%)] = 142.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:

(i) $1,000 × basket return × upside participation rate

$1,000 × 42.00% × 100.00%

= $1,420.00; and

(ii) the maximum return of $360.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,360.00 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.

Example 3. Maturity payment amount is less than the face amount and reflects a return that is greater than the minimum payment at maturity:

	Initial component price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
	Final component price:	$55.00	$120.00	$110.00
	Component return:	-45.00%	20.00%	10.00%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (33.33% × -45.00%) + (33.33% × 20.00%) + (33.34% × 10.00%)] = 95.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:

(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × basket return)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -5.00%)

= $950.00; and

(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $950.00 per security.

	Initial component price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
	Final component price:	$55.00	$40.00	$55.00
	Component return:	-45.00%	-60.00%	-45.00%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (33.33% × -45.00%) + (33.33% × -60.00%) + (33.34% × -45.00%)] = 50.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:

(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × basket return)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)

= $500.00; and

(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00

On the stated maturity date you would receive $900.00 per security.

This example illustrates that the securities provide for the repayment of 90% of the face amount at maturity even in scenarios in which the value of the Basket declines significantly from the starting level to the ending level (subject to our credit risk).

 Hypothetical Historical Performance of the Basket

The Basket will represent an approximately equally weighted portfolio of the following three Basket Components, with the return of each Basket Component having the weighting noted parenthetically: the common stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation (33.34%); the common stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation (33.33%); and the common stock of RTX Corporation (33.33%). The value of the Basket will increase or decrease depending upon the performance of the Basket Components. For more information regarding the Basket Components, see the information provided below.

While historical information on the value of the Basket does not exist for dates prior to the pricing date, the following graph sets forth the hypothetical historical daily values of the Basket for the period from January 1, 2018 to October 2, 2025, assuming that the Basket was constructed on January 1, 2018 with a starting level of 100.00 and that each of the Basket Components had the applicable weighting as of that day. We obtained the closing prices and other information used by us in order to create the graph below from Bloomberg L.P., without independent verification.

The hypothetical historical Basket values, as calculated solely for the purposes of the offering of the securities, fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the value of the Basket during any period shown below is not an indication that the percentage change in the value of the Basket is more likely to be positive or negative during the term of the securities. The hypothetical historical values do not give an indication of future values of the Basket.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying product supplement.

The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, our counsel.

This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

■ a dealer in securities or currencies;

■ a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;

■ a bank;

■ a life insurance company;

■ a tax exempt organization;

■ a partnership;

■ a regulated investment company;

■ an accrual method taxpayer subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of its use of financial statements;

■ a common trust fund;

■ a person that owns a security as a hedge or that is hedged against interest rate risks;

■ a person that owns a security as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes; or

■ a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

This section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

 You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences of your investments in the securities, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

U.S. Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder that holds your securities as a capital asset for tax purposes. You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of each of your securities and you are:

■ a citizen or resident of the United States;

■ a domestic corporation;

■ an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

■ a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Your securities should be treated as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under those rules, the amount of interest you are required to take into account for each accrual period will be determined by constructing a projected payment schedule for your securities and applying rules similar to those for accruing original issue discount on a hypothetical noncontingent debt instrument with that projected payment schedule. This method is applied by first determining the yield at which we would issue a noncontingent fixed rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to your securities (the “comparable yield”) and then determining as of the issue date a payment schedule that would produce the comparable yield. These rules will generally have the effect of requiring you to include amounts in income in respect of your securities in each year that you own the securities, even though you will not receive any payments from us until maturity.

We have determined that the comparable yield for the securities is equal to % per annum, compounded semi-annually with a projected payment at maturity of $     based on an investment of $1,000.

Based on this comparable yield, if you are an initial holder that holds a security until maturity and you pay your taxes on a calendar year basis, we have determined that you would be required to report the following amounts as ordinary income, not taking into account any positive or negative adjustments you may be required to take into account based on the actual payments on the securities, from the security each year:

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

Accrual Period	Interest Deemed to Accrue During Accrual Period (per $1,000 security)	Total Interest Deemed to Have Accrued from Original Issue Date (per $1,000 security) as of End of Accrual Period
through December 31, 2025
January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026
January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027
January 1, 2028 through

You are required to use the comparable yield and projected payment schedule that we compute in determining your interest accruals in respect of your securities, unless you timely disclose and justify on your U.S. federal income tax return the use of a different comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

The comparable yield and projected payment schedule are not provided to you for any purpose other than the determination of your interest accruals in respect of your securities, and we make no representation regarding the amount of contingent payments with respect to your securities.

If you purchase your securities at a price other than their adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you must determine the extent to which the difference between the price you paid for your securities and their adjusted issue price is attributable to a change in expectations as to the projected payment schedule, a change in interest rates, or both, and reasonably allocate the difference accordingly. The adjusted issue price of your securities will equal your securities’ original issue price plus any interest deemed to be accrued on your securities (under the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments) as of the time you purchase your securities. The original issue price of your securities will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the securities is sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. Therefore, you may be required to make the adjustments described above even if you purchase your securities in the initial offering if you purchase your securities at a price other than the issue price.

If the adjusted issue price of your securities is greater than the price you paid for your securities, you must make positive adjustments increasing (i) the amount of interest that you would otherwise accrue and include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or decreasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule; if the adjusted issue price of your securities is less than the price you paid for your securities, you must make negative adjustments, decreasing (i) the amount of interest that you must include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or increasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule. Adjustments allocated to the interest amount are not made until the date the daily portion of interest accrues.

Because any Form 1099-OID that you receive will not reflect the effects of positive or negative adjustments resulting from your purchase of securities at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to whether and how adjustments should be made to the amounts reported on any Form 1099-OID.

You will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the cash amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your securities. In general, your adjusted basis in your securities will equal the amount you paid for your securities, increased by the amount of interest you previously accrued with respect to your securities (in accordance with the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule for your securities), and increased or decreased by the amount of any positive or negative adjustment, respectively, that you are required to make if you purchase your securities at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes.

Any gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your securities will be ordinary interest income. Any loss you recognize at such time will be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included as income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your securities, and, thereafter, capital loss. If you are a noncorporate holder, you would generally be able to use such ordinary loss to offset your income only in the taxable year in which you recognize the ordinary loss and would generally not be able to carry such ordinary loss forward or back to offset income in other taxable years.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. You are a “Non-U.S. Holder” if you are the beneficial owner of securities and are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

■ a nonresident alien individual;

■ a foreign corporation; or

■ an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from the securities.

The term “Non-U.S. Holder” does not include any of the following holders:

■ a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

■ certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or

■ a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

Such holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.

You will be subject to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements as discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement under “United States Federal Taxation — Non-U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” with respect to payments on your securities and, notwithstanding that we do not intend to treat the securities as debt for tax purposes, we intend to backup withhold on such payments with respect to your securities unless you comply with the requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding on debt instruments (in which case you will not be subject to such backup withholding) as set forth under “United States Federal Taxation — Non-U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

In addition, the Treasury Department has issued regulations under which amounts paid or deemed paid on certain financial instruments (“871(m) financial instruments”) that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends could be treated, in whole or in part depending on the circumstances, as a “dividend equivalent” payment that is subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty), which in the case of amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your securities, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the securities, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the Underlying Stock during the term of the securities. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable IRS Form W-8) prior to the maturity of the securities in order to avoid or minimize withholding obligations, and we could withhold accordingly (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the IRS) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory. If withholding was required, we would not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. These regulations generally will apply to 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2027, but will also apply to certain 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) that have a delta (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of one and are issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2017. In addition, these regulations will not apply to financial instruments that reference a “qualified index” (as defined in the regulations). We have determined that, as of the issue date of your securities, your securities will not be subject to withholding under these rules. In certain limited circumstances, however, you should be aware that it is possible for Non-U.S. Holders to be liable for tax under these rules with respect to a combination of transactions treated as having been entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. You should consult your tax advisor concerning these regulations, subsequent official guidance and regarding any other possible alternative characterizations of your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” generally imposes a gross-basis withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may modify or supplement these requirements. This legislation generally applies to certain financial instruments that are treated as paying U.S.-source interest or other U.S.-source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical” (“FDAP”) income. Current provisions of the Code and Treasury regulations that govern FATCA treat gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of obligations that can produce U.S.-source interest or FDAP income as subject to FATCA withholding. However, under recently proposed Treasury regulations, such gross proceeds would not be subject to FATCA withholding. In its preamble to such proposed regulations, the Treasury Department and the IRS have stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of FATCA to the securities.
