JEF · Jefferies Financial Group Inc.

On July 15, 2026, Jefferies Financial Group Inc. consummated a public offering of €850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Notes due 2033. The notes were issued under the company's existing shelf registration statement (File No. 333-295759) and an indenture dated October 18, 2013, as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 7. The estimated net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discount and expenses, are approximately €843.8 million. The company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, investments, or other business needs. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with other unsecured indebtedness. This offering increases the company's debt load and interest expense, but also provides long-term fixed-rate financing at a moderate coupon, extending the maturity profile to 2033. The successful placement reflects investor confidence in Jefferies' credit profile and its ability to access capital markets on favorable terms.
