Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements include statements about our future and statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as believe, expect,
anticipate, may, intend, outlook, will, estimate, forecast, project, should, and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which will change over time. Forward-looking statements may contain beliefs, goals, intentions and expectations regarding revenues, earnings, operations, arrangements and other results, and may include
statements of future performance, plans, and objectives. Forward-looking statements also include statements pertaining to our strategies for future development of our businesses and products, including Jefferies and SMBC Groups strategic
alliance. In particular, forward-looking statements include statements about the potential benefits of the collaboration with SMBC Group and SMBCs intention to increase its equity investment in Jefferies, as SMBC is under no obligation to do
so. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; we do not assume any duty, and do not undertake, to update any forward-looking statements.
Furthermore, because forward-looking statements represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which by their nature are inherently uncertain, the actual results or outcomes may differ, possibly
materially, from the anticipated results or outcomes indicated in these forward-looking statements. Information regarding important factors, including Risk Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes
to differ, perhaps materially, from those in our forward-looking statements is contained in reports we file with the SEC. You should read and interpret any
forward-looking statement together with reports we file with the SEC. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk. Therefore, it
should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal the corresponding indicated performance level(s).
