[424B5] Jefferies Financial Group Inc. Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering Auto-Callable, NASDAQ-100 Index-linked securities with a $1,000 face amount per security and an original offering price of $1,000. The securities pay no interest or dividends and may be automatically called on one of four call dates; each call pays the face amount plus a fixed call premium that accrues at approximately 8.20% per annum on a simple (non-compounding) basis. If not called, the maturity payoff depends on the Index level on the final calculation day: investors are protected for declines up to a 10% buffer, but face 1-to-1 downside beyond that and could lose up to 90% of face amount.
The pricing date was September 30, 2025, issue date October 3, 2025, and Jefferies estimates the securities' value on the pricing date at $966.00 per security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors. All payments are subject to Jefferies' credit risk. The supplement includes tax, model-valuation, market‑making and index‑maintenance disclosures and summarizes preliminary Jefferies fiscal Q3 2025 results including $224 million net income for the quarter (preliminary).

Insights
Auto-call feature caps upside at fixed premiums while offering a 10% downside buffer.
The securities provide fixed capped returns through sequential call premiums of 8.20% p.a. (simple) that accumulate by call date: 8.20%, 16.40%, 24.60%, 32.80%. This design limits positive payoff to the applicable call premium even if the NASDAQ-100 appreciates substantially.
The protective feature is a 10% buffer at maturity: if the Index declines by more than 10% from the starting level, holders suffer 1-to-1 losses beyond the buffer, up to a 90% loss of face amount. These are material payoff drivers and define the security's risk/return profile.
Investor economics reflect issuer credit and upfront costs: estimated value is below offering price.
Jefferies estimates a pricing-date value of $966.00 per $1,000 security, indicating that issuance and hedging costs (~$34) are borne by investors. Secondary market prices may be lower due to credit spread, bid-offer, and unwind costs.
All payments are subject to Jefferies' credit risk and the calculation agent is a Jefferies subsidiary with discretionary determinations, which may present conflicts of interest that could affect payouts.

called for a fixed call premium or, if not automatically called, the maturity payment amount, will depend, in each case, on the closing level of the Index on the applicable call date

Investor Considerations
|
| ■ |
believe that the closing level of the Index will be greater than or equal to the starting level on one of the call dates;
|
| ■ |
seek the potential for a fixed return if the Index has appreciated at all as of any of the call dates in lieu of full participation in any potential appreciation of the Index;
|
| ■ |
are willing to accept the risk that, if the closing level of the Index is less than the starting level on each call date, they will not receive any positive return on their investment in the securities;
|
| ■ |
desire to limit downside exposure to the Index through the buffer amount;
|
| ■ |
are willing to accept the risk that, if the securities are not automatically called and the ending level is less than the starting level by more than the buffer amount, they will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount per
security at maturity;
|
| ■ |
understand that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately one year and that they will not receive a higher call premium payable with respect to a later call date if the securities are called on an earlier call date;
|
| ■ |
are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Index; and
|
| ■ |
are willing to hold the securities until maturity.
|
| ■ |
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
|
| ■ |
believe that the closing level of the Index will be less than the starting level on each call date;
|
| ■ |
seek a security with a fixed term;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk that, if the closing level of the Index is less than the starting level on each call date, they will not receive any positive return on their investment in the securities;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Index may decrease from the starting level by more than the buffer amount;
|
| ■ |
seek exposure to the upside performance of the Index beyond the applicable call premiums;
|
| ■ |
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;
|
| ■ |
seek current income;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Index;
|
| ■ |
seek exposure to the Index 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 Index generally, or to the exposure to the Index that the securities provide specifically; or
|
| ■ |
prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.
