Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is offering Market Linked Securities that pay a high contingent income but expose investors to significant downside risk. The $1,000-denomination notes are linked to the worst performer among three sector ETFs—the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and SPDR S&P Biotech ETF—and mature on 19 July 2029.

Income mechanics: A monthly coupon of at least 13.40 % per annum is paid only when the lowest-performing ETF closes at or above 70 % of its starting price on the relevant calculation day. Coupons are forfeited in any month the condition is not satisfied.

Automatic call: From January 2026, if on any quarterly observation (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct) the worst ETF closes at or above its starting price, the note is redeemed early at par plus the final coupon, capping further upside.

Principal risk: If the securities reach final maturity without being called and the worst ETF ends below 70 % of its starting level, repayment is reduced proportionally; investors could lose more than 30 % and up to all principal.

• Estimated initial value: about $949.60, roughly 5 % below the $1,000 offering price, reflecting structuring and distribution costs up to 2.325 %.
• Notes will not be exchange-listed; secondary market liquidity and pricing are uncertain.
• Credit exposure rests solely with Jefferies Financial Group Inc.; JFSI acts as calculation agent.

The securities may appeal to income-oriented investors comfortable with sector concentration, issuer credit risk and full downside participation.

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (JEF) is marketing a new $1,000-denomination Market-Linked Security (MLS) that blends high coupons with substantial downside risk. The note, issued under the company’s Series A MTN program, is linked to the worst performer of three sector ETFs—Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU), SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) and SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI)—and matures 19 July 2029 (� 4 years). Key commercial terms are as follows:

• Contingent coupon: paid monthly at a minimum 13.40% p.a. (â‰� 1.117% per month) only if the lowest-performing ETF closes â‰� 70% of its start price on the relevant calculation day.
• Auto-call: quarterly (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct) from Jan 2026 through Apr 2029; triggered if the worst ETF closes â‰� its start price. Early redemption pays par plus the final coupon.
• Principal at risk: if not auto-called, principal is protected only if the worst ETF is â‰� 70% of its start on the final calculation day (16 Jul 2029). Otherwise investors receive $1,000 × Performance Factor, losing more than 30%—potentially all—of face value.
• Estimated initial value: $949.60 (± $30), reflecting selling/hedging costs and JEF’s internal funding rate; investors are paying a ~5.0% premium to model value at issuance.
• Fees & distribution: underwritten by Jefferies LLC and Wells Fargo Securities; agent discount up to $23.25 (2.325%) per note, with additional selling concessions of up to $3.00.
• Credit profile: senior unsecured obligation of Jefferies Financial Group Inc.; payments depend entirely on the issuer’s solvency.
• Liquidity: unlisted; secondary market, if any, will be dealer-driven and likely at a material discount, especially after the first four months when the embedded sales concession fully amortises.

Risk highlights include the possibility of receiving zero coupons, full downside exposure below the 70% barrier, sector concentration (utilities, regional banks, biotech), potential tax complexity (Section 1260 constructive ownership), and conflicts of interest in valuation and hedging. Investors must be willing to forego all upside in the underlying ETFs and accept a product whose fair value is materially below issue price.

Investor fit: suitable only for yield-oriented, tactically minded investors comfortable with structured products, limited liquidity and issuer credit risk, and who can tolerate substantial loss of principal. Conservative or buy-and-hold fixed-income investors should avoid.
