Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering senior fixed-rate 15-year callable notes that pay 6.00% annually until February 27, 2041. Interest accrues from February 27, 2026 and is paid each February 27, starting in 2027, using a 30/360 (ISDA) day-count convention.
Jefferies may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on each February 27 from 2027 through 2040 at 100% of principal plus accrued interest, so investors face reinvestment risk if called early. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and depend entirely on Jefferies’ creditworthiness.
Each note is issued at $1,000 and will not be listed on any securities exchange, so secondary market liquidity may be limited. Jefferies expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. Jefferies LLC, an affiliated broker-dealer, will act as agent and underwriter, creating a conflict of interest subject to FINRA Rule 5121.
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering $3,955,000 of senior fixed-rate 15-year callable notes due February 17, 2041. The notes pay a 6.00% annual interest rate, with semi-annual interest payments each February and August, starting August 17, 2026, and all payments depend on Jefferies’ credit.
Jefferies can redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at 100% of principal plus accrued interest on any February 17 or August 17 from 2027 through 2040, which could stop future interest payments and force reinvestment at lower rates. The notes are senior unsecured, not listed on any exchange, may have limited secondary liquidity, and initial resale values may be below the issue price due to underwriting discounts, hedging costs and dealer mark-ups. Underwriting discounts are 1.50%, so Jefferies expects pre-expense proceeds of $3,895,675, to be used for general corporate purposes, and the distribution involves a FINRA Rule 5121 conflict of interest because Jefferies LLC, an affiliate, is the selling agent.
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is issuing $5,090,000 of Senior Fixed Rate 6 Year Callable Notes due February 17, 2032. The notes pay a fixed 5.00% annual interest rate, with semi-annual payments each February 17 and August 17, beginning August 17, 2026.

The notes are offered at 100% of principal ($1,000 per note). Underwriting discounts and commissions are 0.50%, so Jefferies expects gross proceeds of $5,064,550 before expenses, to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, and Jefferies LLC, a FINRA member and affiliate of the issuer, acts as agent under FINRA Rule 5121, creating a disclosed conflict of interest.
Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is issuing $1,725,000 of Senior Fixed Rate 30 Year Step-Up Callable Notes due February 17, 2056. The notes pay 6.00% annually from February 17, 2026 to February 17, 2036, then 7.00% annually until maturity, with interest paid each February 17.

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering senior unsecured autocallable barrier notes maturing on February 19, 2031, each with a $1,000 stated principal amount. The notes are linked to the worst-performing of the S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index.
The notes can be automatically called annually starting in 2027 if the worst-performing index on a call observation date is at or above its specified call value, paying back principal plus a call premium that reflects a return of about 12.40% per year. If never called, full principal is repaid at maturity only if the worst-performing index is at or above 70% of its initial level; otherwise repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the decline, up to total loss of principal.

The notes are automatically called quarterly starting in February 2027 if the worst-performing underlying is at or above 92% of its initial level, triggering call payments ranging from $1,140 to $1,700 per note, reflecting roughly 14% per annum.
If the notes are not called and the final level of the worst-performing underlying is at or above 75% of its initial value, investors receive only the $1,000 principal back. If it finishes below 75%, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the decline from the initial level, meaning losses can exceed 25% and reach total loss of principal. The notes are senior unsecured obligations subject to Jefferies’ credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, and may trade below the issue price due to fees, hedging costs and secondary market spreads.

The notes can be automatically called monthly starting in March 2027 if the worst-performing index is at or above 100% of its initial value, returning principal plus any due coupon. If not called, investors receive full principal at maturity only if the worst-performing index is at or above 70% of its initial value; otherwise, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with the index decline, up to total loss.
