Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which are normally included in our Form 10-K. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. For a detailed discussion about the Company's significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, ~~2019~~2020 ("~~2019~~2020 10-K").

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ~~on-going~~ongoing basis, we evaluate all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to fair value measurements, compensation and benefits, asset impairment, the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and contingencies. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, other than the following, there were no significant changes made to the Company's significant accounting policies. The accounting policy changes are attributable to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on ~~leases~~credit losses on financial instruments (the "new ~~lease~~credit loss standard") on December 1, ~~2019. These lease~~2020. The credit loss policy updates ~~are~~were applied using a modified retrospective ~~approach.~~approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. Reported financial information for the historical comparable period was not revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during the historical periods.

~~Lease Accounting~~Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses inherent in Foursight Capital's finance receivables held for investment. The allowance for credit losses is established systematically by management based on the determination of the amount of credit losses inherent in the finance receivables held for investment as of the reporting date. All finance receivables held for investment of Foursight Capital are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management's estimate of expected credit losses is based on an evaluation of relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the future collectability of the reported amounts. Foursight Capital uses static pool modeling techniques to determine the allowance for loan losses expected over the remaining life of the receivables, which is supplemented by management judgment. Expected losses are estimated for groups of accounts aggregated by monthly vintage. Generally, the expected losses are projected based on historical loss experience over the last eight years, more heavily weighted toward recent performance when determining the allowance to result in an estimate that is more reflective of the current internal and external environments. Foursight Capital's estimate of expected credit losses includes a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years and then reverts to an estimate based on historical losses. Foursight Capital reviews charge-off experience factors, contractual delinquency, historical collection rates, the value of underlying collateral and other information to make the necessary judgments as to credit losses expected in the portfolio as of the reporting date. While management utilizes the best information available to make its evaluations, changes in macroeconomic conditions, interest rate environments, or both, may significantly impact the assumptions and inputs used in determining the allowance for credit losses.

Foursight Capital's charge-off policy is based on a loan by loan review of delinquent finance receivables. The charge-off policy requires that balances be charged-off at the earlier of when they are 120 days contractually past due and the automobile has been in Foursight Capital's possession for at least 45 days, the month in which it has been determined in good faith that all amounts it expects to recover on a contract have been received, or at the end of the month in which they are 120 days contractually past due and the vehicle hasn’t been repossessed. The loans may be charged-off earlier than 120 days based upon management review of certain delinquent or impaired loans on an individual basis. Losses on finance receivables secured by automobiles are recognized at the time when anticipated losses are determined for contracts in repossession status. Foursight Capital generally initiates repossession proceedings when an account is 3 payments contractually past due.

Other financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected and the measurement of credit losses and any expected increases or decreases in expected credit losses are recognized in earnings. The estimate of expected credit losses involves judgment and based on an assessment over the life of the financial instrument taking into consideration forecasts of expected future economic conditions. In evaluating secured financing receivables (reverse repurchases agreements, securities borrowing arrangements and margin loans), the underlying collateral maintenance provisions are taken into consideration. The underlying contractual collateral maintenance for significantly all of Jefferies Group's secured financing receivables requires that the counterparty continually adjust the collateralization amount, securing the credit exposure

on these contracts. Collateralization levels for Jefferies Group's secured financing receivables are initially established based upon the counterparty, the type of acceptable collateral that is monitored daily and adjusted to mitigate the potential of any credit losses. Credit losses are not recognized for secured financing receivables where the underlying collateral's fair value is equal to or exceeds the asset's amortized cost basis. In cases where the collateral's fair value does not equal or exceed the amortized cost basis, the allowance for credit losses, if any, is limited to the difference between the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the financial assets.

Our receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations include deposits of cash with exchange clearing organizations to meet margin requirements, amounts due from clearing organizations for daily variation settlements, securities failed-to-deliver or receive, receivables and payables for fees and commissions, and receivables arising from unsettled securities or loans transactions. These receivables generally do not give rise to material credit risk and have a remote probability of default either because of their short-term nature or due to the credit protection framework inherent in the design and operations of brokers, dealers and clearing organizations. As such, generally, no allowance for credit losses is held against these receivables.

For ~~leases with an original term longer than one year, lease liabilities are initially recognized on~~all other financial assets measured at amortized cost, we estimate expected credit losses over the ~~lease commencement~~financial assets' life as of the reporting date based on ~~the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance costs~~relevant information about past events, current conditions, and ~~other fixed costs for generally all leases. A corresponding right of use ("ROU") asset is initially recognized equal to the lease liability adjusted for any lease prepayments, initial direct costs~~reasonable and lease incentives. The ROU assets are included in Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net and the lease liabilities are included in Lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

The discount rates used in determining the present value of leases represent our collateralized borrowing rate considering each lease's term and currency of payment. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Certain leases have renewal options that can be exercised at the discretion of the Company. Lease expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in Selling, general and other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 12 for further information.supportable forecasts.

Receivables

At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, Receivables include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of ~~$2,755.8~~$4,750.7 million and ~~$3,011.0~~$4,161.8 million, respectively, and receivables from customers of securities operations of ~~$956.8~~$1,863.5 million and ~~$1,490.9~~$1,286.9 million, respectively.

Of these amounts, ~~$600.5~~$686.8 million and ~~$621.2~~$532.4 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, were in securitized vehicles. See Notes 6 and 7 for additional information on Foursight Capital's securitization activities. Based primarily on ~~Beacon~~FICO credit scores, Foursight Capital classifies its ~~auto loan~~finance receivables held for investment as prime, near-prime and sub-prime based on the perceived credit risk at origination and generally considers prime receivables as those with a ~~Beacon~~FICO score of 680 and above, near-prime with scores between 620 and 679 and sub-prime with scores below 620. The credit quality classification at ~~August 31, 2020~~both February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019~~2020 was approximately 14% ~~and 15%~~ prime, ~~52% and 53%~~54% near-prime ~~and 34%~~ and 32% sub-prime, respectively.

Accounting Developments - Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Annual Reporting Period

~~Leases~~. We adopted the new lease standard on December 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach. Accordingly, reported financial information for historical comparable periods is not revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those historical periods. We elected not to reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, or the lease classification and initial direct costs of existing leases upon transition. At transition on December 1, 2019, the adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating ROU assets of $545.8 million and operating lease liabilities of $614.9 million reflected in Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net and Lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, respectively. Finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities were not material and are reflected in Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net and Lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, respectively.

~~Derivatives and Hedging.~~ In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Accounting Developments - Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods~~

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which provides for estimating credit losses on ~~certain types of~~ financial ~~instruments~~assets measured at amortized cost by introducing an approach based on expected ~~losses. The~~losses over the financial asset's entire life, recorded at inception or purchase. We adopted the new credit loss guidance ~~is effective~~on December 1, 2020 and applied a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. At transition on December 1, 2020, the new accounting guidance's adoption resulted in an increase in the ~~first quarter~~allowance for credit losses of ~~fiscal 2021.~~ $26.5 million with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings of $19.9 million, net of tax. The increase is primarily attributable to a $30.1 million increase in the allowance for credit losses in Foursight Capital's portfolio of finance receivables held for investment. Foursight Capital estimates expected credit losses on its portfolio using analysis of historical portfolio performance data as well as external economic factors that management considers to be relevant to the credit losses expected in the portfolio. This is partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses at Jefferies Group that is attributable to applying a revised provisioning methodology based on historical loss experience for its investment banking fee receivables.

We have determined expected credit losses to be immaterial upon adoption for our other financial instruments within the scope of the guidance. A significant portion of our financial instruments within the scope of the guidance represent secured financing receivables (reverse repurchase agreements, secured borrowing arrangements, and margin loans) that are ~~currently evaluating~~substantially collateralized. For our secured financing receivables, we have concluded that the impact upon adoption was immaterial because the contractual collateral maintenance provisions require that the counterparty continually adjust the amount of collateralization securing the credit exposure on these contracts. Collateralization levels for our secured financing receivables are initially established based upon the counterparty, the type of acceptable collateral that is monitored daily and adjusted to mitigate the potential of any credit losses. For the remaining financial instruments within the guidance's scope, the expected credit losses were also determined to be immaterial considering the counterparty's credit quality, an insignificant history of credit losses, or the short-term nature of the ~~new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.~~credit exposures.

~~Reference Rate Reform~~. In March 2020, the FASB issued new guidance which provides optional exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedge accounting relationships or other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The optional exceptions can be elected through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of applying the optional exceptions on our consolidated financial statements.

The following is a description of the valuation basis, including valuation techniques and inputs, used in measuring our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Corporate Equity Securities

•Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Exchange-traded equity securities are measured based on quoted closing exchange prices, which are generally obtained from external pricing services, and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value

hierarchy, otherwise they are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied.

•Non-Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Non-exchange-traded equity securities are measured primarily using broker

quotations, pricing data from external pricing services and prices observed from recently executed market transactions and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity securities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), price/book value), discounted cash flow analyses and transaction prices observed from subsequent financing or capital issuance by Jefferies Group. When using pricing data of comparable companies, judgment must be applied to adjust the pricing data to account for differences between the measured security and the comparable security (e.g., issuer market capitalization, yield, dividend rate, geographical concentration).

•Equity Warrants: Non-exchange-traded equity warrants are measured primarily ~~using pricing data~~ from ~~external pricing services,~~observed prices ~~observed from~~on recently executed market transactions and broker quotations and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity warrants are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and can be measured using third-party valuation services or the Black-Scholes model with key inputs impacting the valuation including the underlying security price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date.

Corporate Debt Securities

•Investment Grade Corporate Bonds: Investment grade corporate bonds are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services and broker quotations, where available, prices observed from recently executed market transactions and bond spreads or credit default swap spreads of the issuer adjusted for basis differences between the swap curve and the bond curve. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using these valuation methods are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If broker quotes, pricing data or spread data is not available, alternative valuation techniques are used including cash flow models incorporating interest rate curves, single name or index credit default swap curves for comparable issuers and recovery rate assumptions. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using alternative valuation techniques are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are a limited portion of our investment grade corporate bonds.

•High Yield Corporate and Convertible Bonds: A significant portion of our high yield corporate and convertible bonds are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured primarily using broker quotations and pricing data from external pricing services, where available, and prices observed from recently executed market transactions of institutional size. Where pricing data is less observable, valuations are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are based on pending transactions involving the issuer or comparable issuers, prices implied from an issuer's subsequent financing or recapitalization, models incorporating financial ratios and projected cash flows of the issuer and market prices for comparable issuers.

Collateralized Debt Obligations and Collateralized Loan Obligations

Collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") are measured based on prices observed from recently executed market transactions of the same or similar security or based on valuations received from third-party brokers or data providers and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs. Valuation that is based on recently executed market transactions of similar securities incorporates additional review and analysis of pricing inputs and comparability criteria, including, but not limited to, collateral type, tranche type, rating, origination year, prepayment rates, default rates and loss severity.

U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities

•U.S. Treasury Securities: U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•U.S. Agency Debt Securities: Callable and non-callable U.S. agency debt securities are measured primarily based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services and are generally categorized within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Municipal Securities

Municipal securities are measured based on quoted prices obtained from external pricing services, where available, or recently executed independent transactions of comparable size and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Sovereign Obligations

Sovereign government obligations are measured based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services, where available, or recently executed independent transactions of comparable size. Sovereign government obligations, with consideration given to the country of issuance, are generally categorized within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities

•Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities: Agency residential mortgage-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities (fixed and adjustable rate), collateralized mortgage obligations and principal-only and interest-only (including inverse interest-only) securities. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities are generally measured using recent transactions, pricing data from external pricing services or expected future cash flow techniques that incorporate prepayment models and other prepayment assumptions to amortize the underlying mortgage loan collateral and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use prices observed from recently executed transactions to develop market-clearing spread and yield ~~curve~~ assumptions. Valuation inputs with regard to the underlying collateral incorporate factors such as weighted average coupon, loan-to-value, credit scores, geographic location, maximum and average loan size, originator, servicer and weighted average loan age.

•Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities: The fair value of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities is determined primarily using pricing data from external pricing services, where available, and discounted cash flow methodologies and securities are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs used. Performance attributes of the underlying mortgage loans are evaluated to estimate pricing inputs, such as prepayment rates, default rates and the severity of credit losses. Attributes of the underlying mortgage loans that affect the pricing inputs include, but are not limited to, weighted average coupon; average and maximum loan size; loan-to-value; credit scores; documentation type; geographic location; weighted average loan age; originator; servicer; historical prepayment, default and loss severity experience of the mortgage loan pool; and delinquency rate. Yield curves used in the discounted cash flow models are based on observed market prices for comparable securities and published interest rate data to estimate market yields. In addition, broker quotes, where available, are also referenced to compare prices primarily on interest-only securities.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

•Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities: Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") project loan bonds are measured based on inputs corroborated from and benchmarked to observed prices of recent securitization transactions of similar securities with adjustments incorporating an evaluation of various factors, including prepayment speeds, default rates and cash flow structures. Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") mortgage-backed securities are generally measured by using prices observed from recently executed market transactions to estimate market-clearing spread levels for purposes of estimating fair value. GNMA project loan bonds and FNMA DUS mortgage-backed securities are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Non-Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities: Non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities are measured using pricing data obtained from external pricing services, prices observed from recently executed market transactions or based on expected cash flow models that incorporate underlying loan collateral characteristics and performance. Non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the observability of the underlying inputs.

Other Asset-Backed Securities

Other asset-backed securities include, but are not limited to, securities backed by auto loans, credit card receivables, student loans and other consumer loans and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuations are primarily determined using pricing data obtained from external pricing services, broker quotes and prices observed from recently executed market transactions. In addition, recent transaction data from comparable deals is deployed to develop market clearing yields and cumulative loss assumptions. The cumulative loss assumptions are based on the analysis of the underlying collateral and comparisons to earlier deals from the same issuer to gauge the relative performance of the deal.

Loans and Other Receivables

•Corporate Loans: Corporate loans categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on market consensus pricing service quotations. Where available, market price quotations from external pricing services are reviewed to ensure they are supported by transaction data. Corporate loans categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on price quotations that are considered to be less transparent, for example, derived using market prices for debt securities of the same creditor and estimates of future cash flows incorporating assumptions regarding creditor default and recovery rates and consideration of the issuer's capital structure.

•Participation Certificates in Agency Residential Loans: Valuations of participation certificates in agency residential loans are based on observed market prices of recently executed purchases and sales of similar loans and data provider pricing. The loan participation certificates are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and volume of recently executed transactions and availability of data provider pricing.

•Project Loans and Participation Certificates in GNMA Project and Construction Loans: Valuations of participation certificates in GNMA project and construction loans are based on inputs corroborated from and benchmarked to observed prices of recent securitizations with similar underlying loan collateral to derive an implied spread. Securitization prices are adjusted to estimate the fair value of the loans to account for the arbitrage that is realized at the time of securitization. The measurements are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and volume of recently executed transactions.

•Consumer Loans and Funding Facilities: Consumer and small business whole loans and related funding facilities are valued based on observed market transactions and incorporating valuation inputs including, but not limited to, delinquency and default rates, prepayment rates, borrower characteristics, loan risk grades and loan age. These assets are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Escrow and Claim Receivables: Escrow and claim receivables are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy where fair value is estimated based on reference to market prices and implied yields of debt securities of the same or similar issuers. Escrow and claim receivables are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy where fair value is based on recent observations in the same receivable.

Derivatives

•Listed Derivative Contracts: Listed derivative contracts that are actively traded are measured based on quoted exchange prices, broker quotes or vanilla option valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, using observable valuation inputs from the principal market or consensus pricing services. Exchange quotes and/or valuation inputs are generally obtained from external vendors and pricing services. Broker quotes are validated directly through observable and tradeable quotes. Listed derivative contracts that use unadjusted exchange close prices are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. All other listed derivative contracts are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Over-the-Counter ("OTC") Derivative Contracts: OTC derivative contracts are generally valued using models, whose inputs reflect assumptions that we believe market participants would use in valuing the derivative in a current transaction. Where available, valuation inputs are calibrated from observable market data. For many OTC derivative contracts, the valuation models do not involve material subjectivity as the methodologies do not entail significant judgment and the inputs to valuation models do not involve a high degree of subjectivity as the valuation model inputs are readily observable or can be derived from actively quoted markets. OTC derivative contracts are primarily categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and significance of the inputs to the valuation models. Where significant inputs to the valuation are unobservable, derivative instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

OTC options include OTC equity, foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity options measured using various valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, with key inputs including the underlying security price, foreign exchange spot rate, commodity price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date. Discounted cash flow models are utilized to measure certain OTC derivative contracts including the valuations of our interest rate swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to interest rate curves, valuations of our foreign exchange forwards and swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to foreign currency spot rates and forward curves and valuations of our commodity swaps and forwards, which incorporate observable inputs related to commodity spot prices and forward curves. Discounted cash flow models are also utilized to measure certain variable funding note swaps, which are backed by CLOs and incorporate constant prepayment rate, constant default rate and loss severity assumptions. Credit default swaps include both index and single-name credit default swaps. Where available, external data is used in measuring index credit default swaps and single-name credit default swaps. For commodity and equity total return swaps, market prices are generally observable for the underlying asset and used as the basis for measuring the fair value of the derivative contracts. Total return swaps executed on other underlyings are measured based on valuations received from external pricing services.

•Oil Futures Derivatives: Vitesse Energy Finance uses swaps and call and put options in order to reduce exposure to future oil price fluctuations. Vitesse Energy Finance accounts for the derivative instruments at fair value, which are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Fair values classified as Level 1 are measured based on quoted closing exchange prices obtained from external pricing services and Level 2 are determined under the income valuation technique using an option-pricing model that is based on directly or indirectly observable inputs.

Investments at Fair Value

Investments at fair value include investments in hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds, which are measured at the NAV of the funds, provided by the fund managers and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Investments at fair value also include direct equity investments in private companies, which are measured at fair value using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/EBITDA, price/book value), discounted cash flow analyses, contingent claims analysis and transaction prices observed for subsequent financing or capital issuance by the company. Direct equity investments in private companies are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(1)Where fair value is calculated based on NAV, fair value has been derived from each of the funds' capital statements.

(2)This category includes investments in hedge funds that invest, long and short, primarily in both public and private equity securities in domestic and international markets. At ~~August 31, 2020~~both February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately 94% of the fair value of investments in this category cannot be redeemed because these investments include restrictions that do not allow for redemption before December 31, 2021. At both February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, approximately 6% ~~and 6%, respectively,~~of the fair value of investments in this category are redeemable quarterly with 60 days prior written notice.

(3)The investments in this category include investments in equity funds that invest in the equity of various U.S. and foreign private companies. These investments cannot be redeemed; instead distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds, which are primarily expected to be liquidated in approximately one to eight years.

(4)This category includes investments in a hedge fund that invests, long and short, primarily in commodities. Investments in this category are redeemable quarterly with 60 days prior written notice.

(5)This category includes investments in hedge funds that invest, long and short, primarily in multi-asset securities in domestic and international markets in both the public and private sectors. At ~~August 31, 2020~~both February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, investments representing approximately ~~58% and 5%, respectively,~~57% of the fair value of investments in this category are redeemable monthly with ~~30 or~~ 60 days prior written notice.

(6)This category primarily includes investments in a fund that invests in ~~loans secured by a first trust deed on property, domestic~~short-term trade receivables and international public high yield debt, private high yield investments, senior bank loans, public leveraged equities, distressed debt and private equity investments and there are no redemption provisions. This category also includes investments in a fund of funds that invests in various private equity fundspayables that are ~~managed by us~~expected to generally be outstanding between 90 to 120 days and ~~have no redemption provisions. Investments in the fund of funds~~short-term credit instruments. These investments are ~~gradually being liquidated, however, the timing of when the proceeds will be received is uncertain.~~redeemable quarterly with 90 days prior written notice.

Investments at fair value also include our investment in The We Company. We invested $9.0 million in The We Company in 2013 and currently own less than 1% of The We Company. Our interest in The We Company is reflected in Financial instruments owned, at fair value of $9.6 million and $53.8 million at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, respectively.

Investment in FXCM

Our investment in FXCM and associated companies consists of a senior secured term loan due February 15, ~~2021~~2022 ($71.6 million principal outstanding at ~~August 31, 2020)~~February 28, 2021), a 50% voting interest in FXCM and rights to a majority of all distributions in respect of the equity of FXCM. Our investment in the FXCM term loan is reported within Financial instruments owned, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We classify our equity investment in FXCM in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as Loans to and investments in associated companies, as we have the ability to significantly influence FXCM through our seats on the board of directors.

We estimate the fair value of our term loan by using a valuation model with inputs including management's assumptions concerning the amount and timing of expected cash flows, the loan's implied credit rating and effective yield. Because of these inputs and the degree of judgment involved, we have categorized our term loan within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans to and Investments in Associated Companies

Corporate bonds are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Non-exchange-traded equity warrants with no pricing from external pricing services are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes model with key inputs impacting the valuation including the underlying security price, implied volatility, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date.

~~Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell~~

Securities purchased under agreements to resell may include embedded call features. The valuation of these instruments is based on review of expected future cash flows, interest rates, funding spreads and the fair value of the underlying collateral. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to limited observability of the embedded derivative and unobservable credit spreads.

Other Secured Financings

Other secured financings that are accounted for at fair value are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on estimates of future cash flows incorporating assumptions regarding recovery rates.

Securities Received as ~~Collateral/~~Collateral and Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral

In connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of securities and are permitted to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral, we report the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral. Valuation is based on the price of the underlying security and is categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

Short-term borrowings that are accounted for at fair value include equity-linked notes, which are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on the price of the underlying equity security. Long-term debt includes variable rate, fixed-to-floating rate, equity-linked notes, constant maturity swap, digital and Bermudan structured notes. These are valued using various valuation models that incorporate Jefferies Group's own credit spread, market price quotations from external pricing sources referencing the appropriate interest rate curves, volatilities and other inputs as well as prices for transactions in a given note during the period. Long-term debt notes are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy where market trades have been observed during the ~~quarter,~~period or model pricing is available, otherwise ~~they~~the notes are categorized within Level 3.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

HomeFed has a 49% membership interest in the RedSky JZ Fulton Investors ("RedSky JZ Fulton Mall") joint venture, which owns a property in Brooklyn, New York. The property consists of 14 separate tax lots, divided into 2 development sites which may be redeveloped with buildings consisting of up to 540,000 square feet of floor area development rights. During the

three months ended February 29, 2020, difficulties were encountered with attempts to refinance debt within the investment. We viewed this, combined with a softening of the Brooklyn, New York real estate market during the quarter, as a triggering event and evaluated HomeFed's equity method investment in RedSky JZ Fulton Mall to determine if there was an impairment. In connection with this evaluation, we obtained an appraisal which reflected a reduction in the value of the investment in comparison to an earlier appraisal obtained shortly before the beginning of the quarter. The appraisal was based off of Level 3 inputs consisting of prices of comparable properties and the appraisal indicated that the value of the property was worth less than the debt outstanding. HomeFed recorded an impairment charge of $55.6 million within Income (loss) related to associated companies during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 29, 2020, which represented all of its carrying value in the joint venture.

Due to a decline in oil and gas prices during the second quarter of 2020, Vitesse Energy Finance performed impairment analyses on its proven oil and gas properties in the Denver-Julesburg Basin ("DJ Basin") of Wyoming and Colorado and the Bakken Shale oil field in North Dakota. Vitesse Energy Finance first determined the estimated undiscounted cash flows based on the reserves and costs utilized in its reserve report and then updated those cash flows based on strip pricing as of May 31, 2020. The expected undiscounted future net cash flows were then compared to the end of quarter net carrying value of the oil and gas properties. No impairment of the Bakken Shale oil field assets was necessary as the undiscounted future net cash flows significantly exceeded the carrying value of these assets. As undiscounted future net cash flows were lower than the carrying value of the DJ Basin properties, Vitesse Energy Finance then determined the estimated fair value of the proven properties. To measure the estimated fair value of its proven properties, Vitesse Energy Finance used unobservable Level 3 inputs, including a 10.0% discount rate and estimated future cash flows from its reserve report. The estimated fair value of Vitesse Energy Finance's proven oil and gas properties in the DJ Basin totaled $26.8 million, which was $13.2 million lower than the carrying value as of the end of the second quarter of 2020. As a result, an impairment charge of $13.2 million was recorded in Selling, general and other expenses during the nine months ended August 31, 2020.

Due to a decline in oil and gas prices during the first quarter of 2020, JETX Energy performed an impairment analysis for its oil and gas properties in the East Eagle Ford. JETX Energy first determined the estimated undiscounted cash flows based on the reserves and costs utilized in its reserve report and then updated those cash flows based on strip pricing as of February 29, 2020. The expected undiscounted future net cash flows were then compared to the end of quarter net carrying value of the proven properties. As the undiscounted future net cash flows were lower than the carrying value, JETX Energy then determined the estimated fair value of the proven properties. To measure the estimated fair value of its proven properties, JETX Energy used unobservable Level 3 inputs, including a 10.0% discount rate and estimated future cash flows from its reserve report. The estimated fair value of JETX Energy's proven oil and gas properties in the East Eagle Ford totaled $9.6 million, which was $33.0 million lower than the carrying value as of the end of first quarter of 2020. As a result, an impairment charge of $33.0 million was recorded in Selling, general and other expenses during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 29, 2020.

Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the three months ended February 28, 2021

During the three months ended February 28, 2021, transfers of assets of $75.8 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

•Loans and other receivables of $42.9 million, CDOs and CLOs of $14.6 million, corporate equity securities of $9.9 million and other asset-backed securities of $7.5 million due to reduced pricing transparency.

During the three months ended February 28, 2021, transfers of assets of $68.9 million from Level 3 to Level 2 or Level 1 are primarily attributed to:

•Investments at fair value of $24.2 million, corporate debt securities of $17.5 million, other asset-backed securities of $14.5 million and loans and other receivables of $6.8 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2 or Level 1.

During the three months ended February 28, 2021, transfers of liabilities of $236.7 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

•Net derivatives of $236.5 million due to reduced pricing transparency.

During the three months ended February 28, 2021, transfers of liabilities of $13.3 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

•Net derivatives of $13.3 million due to greater market and pricing transparency.

Net gains on Level 3 assets were $102.2 million and net losses on Level 3 liabilities were $72.1 million for the three months ended February 28, 2021. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to increased market values across investments at fair value, CDOs and CLOs, other asset-backed securities, loans and other receivables, residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate equity securities and the FXCM term loan. Net losses on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of certain derivatives and structured note within long-term debt.

~~During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of assets of $79.0 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:~~

•~~Investments at fair value of $35.1 million~~ and loans and other receivables, ~~of $23.7 million due to reduced pricing transparency.~~

~~During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of assets of $70.3 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:~~

•~~Loans and other receivables of $36.0 million and corporate equity securities of $22.1 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.~~

~~During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of liabilities of $43.5 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:~~

•~~Net derivatives of $17.6 million, loans of $13.3 million and structured notes of $11.0 million due to reduced market and pricing transparency.~~

~~During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of liabilities of $23.8 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:~~

Quantitative Information about Significant Unobservable Inputs used in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The tables below present information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and their ranges for our financial assets and liabilities, subject to threshold levels related to the market value of the positions held, measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The range of unobservable inputs could differ significantly across different firms given the range of products across different firms in the financial services sector. The inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one financial instrument (i.e., the input used for valuing one financial instrument within a particular class of financial instruments may not be appropriate for valuing other financial instruments within that given class). Additionally, the ranges of inputs presented below should not be construed to represent uncertainty regarding the fair values of our financial instruments; rather, the range of inputs is reflective of the differences in the underlying characteristics of the financial instruments in each category.

For certain categories, we have provided a weighted average of the inputs allocated based on the fair values of the financial instruments comprising the category. We do not believe that the range or weighted average of the inputs is indicative of the reasonableness of uncertainty of our Level 3 fair values. The range and weighted average are driven by the individual financial instruments within each category and their relative distribution in the population. The disclosed inputs when compared with the inputs as disclosed in other periods should not be expected to necessarily be indicative of changes in our estimates of unobservable inputs for a particular financial instrument as the population of financial instruments comprising the category will vary from period to period based on purchases and sales of financial instruments during the period as well as transfers into and out of Level 3 each period.

At ~~August 31, 2020 and~~ November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, liability exclusions consisted of ~~$5.0~~$0.8 million ~~and $0.4 million, respectively,~~ primarily comprised of certain derivatives and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

For recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the uncertainty of the fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those unobservable inputs (if any) are described below:

•Corporate equity securities, corporate debt securities, loans and other receivables, ~~certain derivatives,~~ other asset-backed securities, private equity securities, certain derivatives, loans to and investments in associated companies ~~securities purchased under agreements to resell~~ and structured notes using a market approach valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in the ~~transaction level of corporate equity securities would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the~~ price of the private equity securities, non-exchange-traded securities, ~~unfunded commitments,~~corporate equity securities, corporate debt securities, other asset-backed securities, loans and other receivables ~~total return swaps~~ or structured notes would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the EBITDA multiple related to corporate equity securities would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the underlying stock price of ~~corporate equity securities or~~ non-exchange-traded warrants would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the volatility of the underlying stock price of non-exchange-traded warrants would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. ~~A significant increase (decrease) in the yield or duration, in isolation, of securities purchased under agreements to resell would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.~~ Depending on whether we are a receiver or (payer) of basis points upfront, a significant increase in basis points would result in a significant increase (decrease) in the fair value measurement of ~~cross currency and~~ interest rate swaps.

•Loans and other receivables, CDOs and CLOs, ~~commercial mortgage-backed securities,~~ corporate debt securities, private equity securities and other secured financings using scenario analysis. A significant increase (decrease) in the possible recovery rates of the cash flow outcomes underlying the financial instrument would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value ~~measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the price of the underlying assets of~~measurement for the financial instruments would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the volatility of the underlying stock price would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the credit spread of the financial instrument would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.instrument. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate/yield underlying the investment would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the revenue growth underlying the investment would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

•CDOs and CLOs, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities ~~loans and other receivables~~ and the FXCM term loan using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in isolation in the constant default rate, loss severity or cumulative loss rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The impact of changes in the constant prepayment rate and duration would have differing impacts depending on the capital structure and type of security. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate/security yield would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A

significant increase (decrease) in term based on the time to pay off the loan would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

•Derivative equity options using volatility benchmarking. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Fair Value Option Election

We have elected the fair value option for all loans and loan commitments made by our investment banking and capital markets businesses. These loans and loan commitments include loans entered into by our investment banking division in connection with client bridge financing and loan syndications, loans purchased by our leveraged credit trading desk as part of our bank loan trading activities and mortgage and consumer loan commitments, purchases and fundings in connection with mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securitization activities. Loans and loan commitments originated or purchased by our leveraged credit and mortgage-backed businesses are managed on a fair value basis. Loans are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value and loan commitments are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The fair value option election is not applied to loans made to affiliate entities as such loans are entered into as part of ongoing, strategic business ventures. Loans to affiliate entities are included in Loans to and investments in associated companies in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are accounted for on an amortized cost basis. We have also elected the fair value option for certain of our structured notes, which are managed by our investment banking and capital markets businesses and are included in Long-term debt and Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We have elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by subsidiaries as the investments are risk managed on a fair value basis. The fair value option has been elected for certain other secured financings that arise in connection with our securitization activities and other structured financings. Other secured financings, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, receivables from customers of securities operations, other receivables, payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and payables to customers of securities operations, are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest rather than at fair value; however, the recorded amounts approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature.

The following is a summary of gains (losses) due to changes in instrument specific credit risk on loans, other receivables and debt instruments and gains (losses) due to other changes in fair value on short-term borrowings ~~other secured financings~~ and long-term debt measured at fair value under the fair value option (in thousands):

(1) Interest income is recognized separately from other changes in fair value and is included in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Amounts include ~~all~~ loans and other receivables 90 days or greater past due by which contractual principal exceeds fair value of ~~$29.0~~$30.2 million and ~~$22.2~~$30.0 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The aggregate fair value of ~~our~~ loans and other receivables on nonaccrual status and/or 90 days or greater past due was ~~$162.6~~$5.4 million and ~~$127.0~~$69.7 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, which includes loans and other receivables 90 days or greater past due of ~~$13.3~~$4.1 million and ~~$24.8~~$3.8 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

As of November 30, 2018, we owned 7,514,477 common shares of Spectrum Brands, representing approximately 15% of Spectrum Brands outstanding common shares. The change in the fair value of our investment in Spectrum Brands aggregated $24.0 million and $48.8 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019, respectively. We distributed the Spectrum Brands shares through a special pro rata dividend effective on October 11, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2019. We recorded a $451.1 million dividend as of the September 16, 2019 declaration date, which was equal to the fair value of Spectrum Brands shares at that time.

We believe accounting for these investments at fair value better reflects the economics of these investments, and quoted market prices for these investments provide an objectively determined fair value at each balance sheet date.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

Certain of our financial instruments are not carried at fair value but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These financial assets include Cash and cash equivalents and Cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes or deposited with clearing and depository organizations and would generally be presented within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes or deposited with clearing and depository organizations includes U.S. Treasury securities with a fair value of ~~$55.9~~$118.5 million and ~~$35.0~~$34.2 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative activities are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in Financial instruments owned, at fair value and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, at fair value, net of cash paid or received under credit support agreements and on a net counterparty basis when a legally enforceable right to offset exists under a master netting agreement. Predominantly, we enter into derivative transactions to satisfy the needs of our clients and to manage our own exposure to market and credit risks resulting from our trading activities. In addition, we apply hedge accounting to (1) an interest rate ~~swap~~swaps that ~~has~~have been designated as a fair value ~~hedge~~hedges of the changes in fair value due to the benchmark interest rate for certain fixed rate senior long-term debt and (2) forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges to offset the change in the value of certain net investments in foreign operations. See Notes 3 and 1918 for additional disclosures about derivative financial instruments.

Derivatives are subject to various risks similar to other financial instruments, including market, credit and operational risk. The risks of derivatives should not be viewed in isolation, but rather should be considered on an aggregate basis along with our other trading-related activities. We manage the risks associated with derivatives on an aggregate basis along with the risks associated with proprietary trading as part of our firm wide risk management policies.

In connection with our derivative activities, we may enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master netting agreements or similar agreements with counterparties.

The following tables present the fair value and related number of derivative contracts at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019~~2020 categorized by type of derivative contract and the platform on which these derivatives are transacted. The fair value of assets/liabilities represents our receivable/payable for derivative financial instruments, gross of counterparty netting and cash collateral received and pledged. The following tables also provide information regarding (1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under GAAP and (2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our financial position (in thousands, except contract amounts).

The net gains (losses) on derivative contracts in the table above are one of a number of activities comprising our business activities and are before consideration of economic hedging transactions, which generally offset the net gains (losses) included above. We substantially mitigate our exposure to market risk on our cash instruments through derivative contracts, which generally provide offsetting revenues, and we manage the risk associated with these contracts in the context of our overall risk management framework.

Contingent Features

Certain of Jefferies Group's derivative instruments contain provisions that require its debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If Jefferies Group's debt ~~were~~was to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on the derivative instruments in liability positions. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position, the collateral amounts posted or received in the normal course of business and the potential collateral we would have been required to return and/or post additionally to our counterparties if the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered (in millions).

(1) These potential outflows include initial margin received from counterparties at the execution of the derivative contract. The initial margin will be returned if counterparties elect to terminate the contract after a downgrade.

Other Derivatives

Vitesse Energy Finance uses swaps and call and put options in order to reduce exposure to future oil price fluctuations. Vitesse Energy Finance accounts for the derivative instruments at fair value. The gains and losses associated with the change in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in Other revenues.

Note 5. Collateralized Transactions

Our repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending arrangements are generally recorded at cost in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which is a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to their short-term nature. We enter into secured borrowing and lending arrangements to obtain collateral necessary to effect settlement, finance inventory positions, meet customer needs or re-lend as part of dealer operations. We monitor the fair value of the securities loaned and borrowed on a daily basis as compared with the related payable or receivable, and request additional collateral or return excess collateral, as appropriate. We pledge financial instruments as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements and other secured arrangements, including clearing arrangements. Our agreements with counterparties generally contain contractual provisions allowing the counterparty the right to sell or repledge the collateral. Pledged securities

3732

owned that can be sold or repledged by the counterparty are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value, and noted parenthetically as Securities pledged in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In instances where we receive securities as collateral in connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of securities and are permitted to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral, we report the fair value of the collateral received and the related obligation to return the collateral ~~is reported~~ in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The following tables set forth the carrying value of securities lending arrangements, repurchase agreements and obligation to return securities received as collateral, at fair value, by class of collateral pledged and remaining contractual maturity (in thousands):

We receive securities as collateral under resale agreements, securities borrowing transactions and customer margin loans. We also receive securities as collateral in connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which we are the lender of

securities. In many instances, we are permitted by contract to rehypothecate the securities received as collateral. These securities may be used to secure repurchase agreements, enter into securities lending transactions, satisfy margin requirements on derivative transactions or cover short positions. At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the approximate fair value of securities received as collateral by us that may be sold or repledged was ~~$29.9~~$32.8 billion and ~~$28.7~~$25.9 billion, respectively. At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, a substantial portion of the securities received have been sold or repledged.

Offsetting of Securities Financing Agreements

To manage our exposure to credit risk associated with securities financing transactions, we may enter into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. Generally, transactions are executed under standard industry agreements, including, but not limited to, master securities lending agreements (securities lending transactions) and master repurchase agreements (repurchase transactions).

The following table provides information regarding repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending arrangements and

securities received as collateral, at fair value, and obligation to return securities received as collateral, at fair value, that are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and (1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under GAAP and (2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our consolidated financial position.

(1)Under master netting agreements with our counterparties, we have the legal right of offset with a counterparty, which incorporates all of the counterparty's outstanding rights and obligations under the arrangement. These balances reflect additional credit risk mitigation that is available by a counterparty in the event of a counterparty's default, but which are not netted in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition because other netting provisions of GAAP are not met.

(2)Includes securities received or paid under collateral arrangements with counterparties that could be liquidated in the event of a counterparty default and thus offset against a counterparty's rights and obligations under the respective repurchase agreements or securities borrowing or lending arrangements.

(3)At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, amounts include ~~$5,089.0~~$4,511.4 million of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of ~~$4,921.2~~$4,383.8 million, and ~~$439.7~~$505.0 million of repurchase agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of ~~$451.6~~$520.2 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable. At November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, amounts include ~~$5,683.4~~$4,757.8 million of securities borrowing arrangements, for which we have received securities collateral of ~~$5,523.6~~$4,617.0 million, and ~~$439.7~~$720.0 million of repurchase

agreements, for which we have pledged securities collateral of ~~$447.5~~$733.9 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but we have not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable.

Cash and Securities Segregated and on Deposit for Regulatory Purposes or Deposited with Clearing and Depository Organizations

Cash and securities segregated in accordance with regulatory regulations and deposited with clearing and depository organizations ~~and segregated in accordance with regulatory regulations~~ totaled ~~$986.1~~$615.1 million and ~~$796.8~~$604.3 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Segregated cash and securities consist of deposits in accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which subjects Jefferies LLC as a broker-dealer carrying customer accounts to requirements related to maintaining cash or qualified securities in segregated special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of its customers.

Note 6. Securitization Activities

We engage in securitization activities related to corporate loans, mortgage loans, consumer loans and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. In our securitization transactions, we transfer these assets to special purpose entities ("SPEs") and act as the placement or structuring agent for the beneficial interests sold to investors by the SPE. A significant portion of our securitization transactions are the securitization of assets issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. These SPEs generally meet the criteria of variable interest entities ("VIEs"); however, we generally do not consolidate the SPEs ~~are generally not consolidated~~ as we are not considered the primary beneficiary for these SPEs.

We account for our securitization transactions as sales, provided we have relinquished control over the transferred assets. Transferred assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Principal transactions revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations prior to the identification and isolation for securitization. Subsequently, revenues recognized upon securitization are reflected as net underwriting revenues. We generally receive cash proceeds in connection with the transfer of assets to an SPE. We may, however, have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, which is limited to retaining one or more tranches of the securitization (primarily senior and subordinated debt securities in the form of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities or CLOs). These securities are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are generally initially categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents activity related to our securitizations that were accounted for as sales in which we had continuing involvement (in millions):


		For the Three Months Ended						For the Nine Months Ended					For the Three Months Ended
		August 31, 2020		August 31, 2019		August 31, 2020		August 31, 2019			February 28, 2021		February 29, 2020

Cash flows received on retained interests	Cash flows received on retained interests	6.3		16.8		18.6		47.2		Cash flows received on retained interests	6.3		7.0

We have no explicit or implicit arrangements to provide additional financial support to these SPEs, have no liabilities related to these SPEs and do not have any outstanding derivative contracts executed in connection with these securitization activities at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

The following table summarizes our retained interests in SPEs where we transferred assets and have continuing involvement and received sale accounting treatment (in millions):

Total assets represent the unpaid principal amount of assets in the SPEs in which we have continuing involvement and are presented solely to provide information regarding the size of the transactions and the size of the underlying assets supporting our retained interests, and are not considered representative of the risk of potential loss. Assets retained in connection with a

securitization transaction represent the fair value of the securities of one or more tranches issued by an SPE, including senior and subordinated tranches. Our risk of loss is limited to this fair value amount, which is included in total Financial instruments owned, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Although not obligated, in connection with secondary market-making activities we may make a market in the securities issued by these SPEs. In these market-making transactions, we buy these securities from and sell these securities to investors. Securities purchased through these market-making activities are not considered to be continuing involvement in these SPEs. To the extent we purchased securities through these market-making activities and we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, these securities are included in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations in the nonconsolidated VIEs section presented in Note 7.

Foursight Capital also utilizes SPEs to securitize automobile loans receivable. These SPEs are VIEs and our subsidiary is the primary beneficiary; the related assets and the secured borrowings are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These secured borrowings do not have recourse to our subsidiary's general credit. See Note 7 for further information on securitization activities and VIEs.

Note 7. Variable Interest Entities

VIEs are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

Our variable interests in VIEs include debt and equity interests, equity interests in associated companies, commitments, guarantees and certain fees. Our involvement with VIEs arises primarily from the following activities, but also includes other activities discussed below:

•Purchases of securities in connection with our trading and secondary market-making activities;

•Retained interests held as a result of securitization ~~activities, including the resecuritization of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and the securitization of mortgage, corporate and consumer loans;~~activities;

•Acting as placement agent and/or underwriter in connection with client-sponsored securitizations;

•Financing of agency and non-agency mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities;

•Warehouse funding arrangements for client-sponsored consumer and mortgage loan vehicles and CLOs through participation agreements, forward sale agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and revolving loan and note commitments; and

•Loans to, investments in and fees from various investment vehicles.

We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon our initial involvement with the VIE and we reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon the facts and circumstances for each VIE and requires judgment. Our considerations in determining the VIE's most significant activities and whether we have power to direct those activities include, but are not limited to, the VIE's purpose and design and the risks passed through to investors, the voting interests of the VIE, management, service and/or other agreements of the VIE, involvement in the VIE's initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial guarantees. In situations where we have determined that the power over the VIE's significant activities is shared, we assess whether we are the party with the power over the most significant activities. If we are the party with the power over the most significant activities, we meet the "power" criteria of the primary beneficiary. If we do not have the power over the most significant activities or we determine that decisions require consent of each sharing party, we do not meet the "power" criteria of the primary beneficiary.

We assess our variable interests in a VIE both individually and in aggregate to determine whether we have an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether our variable interest is significant to the VIE requires judgment. In determining the significance of our variable interest, we consider the terms, characteristics and size of the variable interests, the design and characteristics of the VIE, our involvement in the VIE and our market-making activities related to the variable interests.

~~Securitization~~Secured Funding Vehicles. We are the primary beneficiary of asset-backed financing vehicles to which we sell agency and non-agency residential and commercial mortgage loans and asset-backed securities pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase agreement. Our variable interests in these vehicles consist of our collateral margin maintenance obligations under the master repurchase agreement, which we manage, and retained interests in securities issued. The assets of these VIEs consist of reverse repurchase agreements, which are available for the benefit of the vehicle's debt holders.

At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, Foursight Capital is the primary beneficiary of SPEs it utilized to securitize automobile loans receivable. Foursight Capital acts as the servicer for which it receives a fee, and owns an equity interest in the SPEs. The notes issued by the SPEs are secured solely by the assets of the SPEs and do not have recourse to Foursight Capital's general credit and the assets of the VIEs are not available to satisfy any other debt. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, automobile loan receivables aggregating ~~$223.3~~$228.6 million were securitized by Foursight Capital in connection with a secured borrowing offering. The majority of the proceeds from issuance of the secured borrowing were used to pay down Foursight Capital's ~~two~~2 credit facilities.

Other. We are the primary beneficiary of certain investment vehicles set up for the benefit of our employees. We manage and invest alongside our employees in these vehicles. The assets of these VIEs consist of private equity securities and are available for the benefit of the entities' equity holders. Our variable interests in these vehicles consist of equity securities. The creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit and each such VIE's assets are not available to satisfy any other debt.

Our maximum exposure to loss often differs from the carrying value of the variable interests. The maximum exposure to loss is dependent on the nature of the variable interests in ~~the~~our VIEs and is limited to the notional amounts of certain loan and equity commitments and guarantees. Our maximum exposure to loss does not include the offsetting benefit of any financial instruments that may be utilized to hedge the risks associated with our variable interests and is not reduced by the amount of collateral held as part of a transaction with a VIE.

Collateralized Loan Obligations. Assets collateralizing the CLOs include bank loans, participation interests, ~~and~~ sub-investment grade and senior secured U.S. ~~loans.~~loans and senior secured Euro denominated corporate leveraged loans and bonds. We underwrite securities issued in CLO transactions on behalf of sponsors and provide advisory services to the sponsors. We may also sell corporate loans to the CLOs. Our variable interests in connection with CLOs where we have been involved in providing underwriting and/or advisory services consist of the following:

•Forward sale agreements whereby we commit to sell, at a fixed price, corporate loans and ownership interests in an entity holding such corporate loans to CLOs;

•Warehouse funding arrangements in the form ~~of participation~~of:

◦Participation interests in corporate loans held by CLOs and commitments to fund such participation interests; and

◦Reverse repurchase agreements with collateral margin maintenance obligations and commitments to fund such reverse repurchase agreements;

•Trading positions in securities issued in a CLO ~~transaction;~~transactions; and

•Investments in variable funding notes issued by CLOs.

Asset-Backed Vehicles. We provide financing and lending related services to certain client-sponsored VIEs in the form of revolving funding note agreements, revolving credit facilities, forward purchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. The underlying assets, which are collateralizing the vehicles, are primarily composed of unsecured consumer loans, mortgage loans and trade claims. In addition, we may provide structuring and advisory services and act as an underwriter or placement agent for securities issued by the vehicles. We do not control the activities of these entities.

Related Party Private Equity Vehicles. We committed to invest in private equity funds (the "JCP Funds", including Jefferies Group's interests in Jefferies Capital Partners V L.P. and the Jefferies SBI USA Fund L.P. (together, "JCP Fund V")) managed by Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC (the "JCP Manager"). Additionally, we committed to invest in the general partners of the JCP Funds (the "JCP General Partners") and the JCP Manager. Our variable interests in the JCP Funds, JCP General Partners and JCP Manager (collectively, the "JCP Entities") consist of equity interests that, in total, provide us with limited and general partner investment returns of the JCP Funds, a portion of the carried interest earned by the JCP General Partners and a portion of the management fees earned by the JCP Manager. At ~~August 31, 2020~~both February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, our total equity commitment in the JCP Entities was $133.0 million, ~~and $133.0 million, respectively,~~ of which ~~$122.0~~$122.1 million and ~~$121.7~~$122.0 million, respectively, had been funded. The carrying value of our equity investments in the JCP Entities was ~~$18.6~~$18.7 million and ~~$23.0~~$19.0 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28,

2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Our exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value and unfunded equity commitment. The assets of the JCP Entities primarily consist of private equity and equity related investments.

Other Investment Vehicles. The carrying amount of our equity investment was ~~$853.9~~$909.7 million and ~~$574.0~~$899.9 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Our unfunded equity commitment related to these investments totaled ~~$199.6~~$140.3 million and ~~$192.1~~$143.0 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Our exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value and unfunded equity commitment. These investment vehicles have assets primarily consisting of private and public equity investments, debt instruments, trade and insurance claims and various oil and gas assets.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Secured Funding Vehicles. In connection with our secondary trading and market-making activities, we buy and sell agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, which are issued by third-party securitization SPEs and are generally considered variable interests in VIEs. Securities issued by securitization SPEs are backed by residential mortgage loans, U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage loans, CDOs and CLOs and other consumer loans, such as installment receivables, auto loans and student loans. These securities are accounted for at fair value and included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We have no other involvement with the related SPEs and therefore do not consolidate these entities.

We also engage in underwriting, placement and structuring activities for third-party-sponsored securitization trusts generally through agency (FNMA ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") or GNMA ("Ginnie Mae")) or non-agency-sponsored SPEs and may purchase loans or mortgage-backed securities from ~~third parties~~third-parties that are subsequently transferred into the securitization trusts. The securitizations are backed by residential and commercial mortgage, home equity and auto loans. We do not consolidate agency-sponsored securitizations as we do not have the power to direct the activities of the SPEs that most significantly impact their economic performance. Further, we are not the servicer of non-agency-sponsored securitizations and therefore do not have power to direct the most significant activities of the SPEs and accordingly, do not consolidate these entities. We may retain unsold senior and/or subordinated interests at the time of securitization in the form of securities issued by the SPEs.

At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we held ~~$1,808.6~~$1,642.6 million and ~~$1,453.5~~$1,571.6 million of agency mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and ~~$130.8~~$193.8 million and ~~$134.8~~$252.0 million of non-agency mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, respectively, as a result of our secondary trading and market-making activities, and underwriting, placement and structuring activities. Our maximum exposure to loss on these securities is limited to the carrying value of our investments in these securities. These mortgage-backed and other asset-backed secured funding vehicles discussed are not included in the above table containing information about our variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.

FXCM is considered a VIE and our term loan and equity ownership are variable interests. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FXCM because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact FXCM's performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate FXCM and we account for our equity interest under the equity method as an investment in an associated company. FXCM reported total assets of $411.9 million in its latest financial statements. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with FXCM is limited to the carrying value of the term loan ($~~56.5~~62.1 million) and the investment in associated company ($~~80.3~~68.8 million), which totaled ~~$136.8~~$130.9 million at ~~August 31, 2020.~~February 28, 2021. FXCM is not included in the above table containing information about our variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.

~~National Beef~~

National Beef processes and markets fresh and chilled boxed beef, ground beef, beef by-products, consumer-ready beef and pork, and wet blue leather for domestic and international markets. On November 29, 2019, we sold our remaining equity interest in National Beef.

FXCM

We have a 50% voting interest in FXCM, a provider of online foreign exchange trading services. We account for our equity interest in FXCM on a one month lag. We are amortizing our basis difference between the estimated fair value and the underlying book value of FXCM customer relationships, technology and tradename over their respective useful lives (weighted average life of 11 years).

FXCM is considered a VIE and our term loan and equity interest are variable interests. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FXCM because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact FXCM's performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate FXCM.

Linkem

We own approximately 42% of the common shares of Linkem, the largest fixed wireless broadband services provider in Italy. In addition, we own convertible preferred stock, which is automatically convertible to common shares in 2022, and warrants. If all of our convertible preferred stock was converted and warrants were exercised, it would increase our ownership to approximately 56% of Linkem's common equity at ~~August 31, 2020.~~February 28, 2021. We have approximately 48% of the total voting securities of Linkem. Additionally, we have made shareholder loans to Linkem with principal outstanding of ~~$102.0~~$103.6 million at ~~August 31, 2020. These shareholder loans bear interest at 5% per annum and are due June 30, 2024.~~February 28, 2021. We account for our equity interest in Linkem on a two month lag.

~~HomeFed~~

HomeFed develops and owns residential and mixed-use real estate properties. Through June 30, 2019, we owned an approximate 70% equity interest of HomeFed's outstanding common shares; however, we had contractually agreed to limit our voting rights such that we would not be able to vote more than 45% of HomeFed's total voting securities voting on any matter, assuming all HomeFed shares not owned by us were voted. Since we did not control HomeFed, our investment in HomeFed was accounted for under the equity method as an investment in an associated company. We accounted for our equity interest in HomeFed on a two month lag.

On July 1, 2019, we completed a merger with HomeFed by which we acquired the remaining common stock of HomeFed. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, we recognized a $72.1 million non-cash pre-tax gain in Other revenues on the remeasurement of our prior 70% interest in HomeFed to fair value. From July 1, 2019, the results of HomeFed are reflected on a consolidated basis.

Real Estate Associated Companies

Real estate equity method investments primarily consist of HomeFed's interests in Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza and Hotel and 54 Madison. These equity interests are accounted for on a two month lag.

Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza is comprised of a hotel operated by Marriott, an office building complex and a parking garage located in Brooklyn, New York. HomeFed owns a 25.8% equity interest in the hotel and a 61.25% equity interest in the office building and garage. Although HomeFed has a majority interest in the office building and garage, it does not have control, but only has the ability to exercise significant influence on this investment. As such, HomeFed accounts for the office building and garage under the equity method of accounting. We are amortizing our basis difference between the estimated fair value and the underlying book value of Brooklyn Renaissance office building and garage over the respective useful lives (weighted average life of 39 years). Due to the significant impact of COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2020, HomeFed recorded an impairment charge of $6.9 million within Income (loss) related to associated companies during the nine months ended August 31, 2020, which represented all of its carrying value ~~in the~~ ~~Brooklyn Renaissance Plaza hotel.~~

We own approximately 48.1% of 54 Madison, a fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment in real estate development and similar projects. 54 Madison invests both in projects which they consolidate and projects where they have significant influence and utilize the equity method of accounting. Based on total committed capital of the 54 Madison fund, all projects of this fund have already been identified and launched. We have 2 of the 4 seats on the 54 Madison investment committee and have significant influence over the fund, including a number of protective rights such as the right to block material investments, divestitures and changes outside of agreed upon parameters.

(1) As discussed further in Note 23, during the first quarter of 2020, we changed our internal structure with regard to our operating segments. As a result, we created a separate operating segment that consists of the asset management activity previously included within our Investment Banking, Capital Markets and Asset Management segment. In order to reallocate goodwill that was previously contained in our Investment Banking, Capital Markets and Asset Management segment to the newly created Investment Banking and Capital Markets segment and the Asset Management segment, we performed a fair value analysis of the components.

Estimated fair values were determined based on valuation techniques that we believe market participants would use and included price-to-earnings, price-to-book multiples and discounted cash flow techniques. Based on the relative fair values of each of the components, $143.0 million of the total $1,699.8 million goodwill within the historical Investment Banking, Capital Markets and Asset Management segment was allocated to the new Asset Management segment. In order to compare results with prior periods, we have recast November 30, 2019 goodwill in the same manner. We performed an impairment test immediately before and after the reallocation of goodwill between the new segments and the results of the impairment test did not indicate any goodwill impairment.

~~(2)~~ The increase in Investment Banking and Capital Markets goodwill during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, primarily relates to translation adjustments.

Amortization expense on intangible assets was ~~$3.7~~$3.6 million and ~~$4.0~~$3.8 million for the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $11.5 million and $10.6 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively.

The estimated aggregate future amortization expense for the intangible assets for each of the next five years is as follows (in thousands):


Remainder of current year	Remainder of current year	$	3,673	Remainder of current year	$	10,789
2021		14,457
2022	2022	11,180		2022	11,134
2023	2023	9,945		2023	9,900
2024	2024	9,189		2024	9,143
2025				2025	8,632

We performed our annual impairment testing of goodwill within the Investment Banking and Capital Markets, and Asset Management segments as of August 1, 2020. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed at our reporting unit level and consists of two steps. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value, including goodwill and allocated intangible assets. If the fair value is in excess of the carrying value, the goodwill for the reporting unit is considered not to be impaired. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then a second step is performed in order to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any, which is based on comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill.

The estimated fair value of both the Investment Banking and Capital Markets segment and the Asset Management segment are based on valuation techniques that we believe market participants would use, although the valuation process requires significant judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The methodologies we utilize in estimating fair value include price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples of comparable public companies and/or projected cash flows. In addition, as the fair values determined under the market approach represent a noncontrolling interest, we applied a control premium to arrive at the estimated fair value of our reporting units on a controlling basis. An independent valuation specialist was engaged to assist with the valuation process at August 1, 2020. The results of our annual goodwill impairment test for both the Investment Banking and Capital Markets segment and the Asset Management segment did not indicate any goodwill impairment.

We performed our annual impairment testing of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, which consists of exchange and clearing organization membership interests and registrations within our Investment Banking and Capital Markets segment, at August 1, 2020. We also deemed it appropriate to consider the impact of the global novel coronavirus pandemic as a triggering event and performed an interim impairment test for our indefinite-lived intangible assets at May 31, 2020. At May 31, 2020 and August 1, 2020, we elected to perform a quantitative assessment of membership interests and registrations that have available quoted sales prices as well as certain other membership interests and registrations that have declined in utilization. Qualitative assessments were performed on the remainder of our indefinite-life intangible assets. In applying our quantitative assessment at both May 31, 2020 and August 1, 2020, we recognized immaterial impairment losses on certain exchange membership interests and registrations. With regard to our qualitative assessment of the remaining indefinite-life intangible assets, based on our assessment of market conditions, the utilization of the assets and the replacement costs associated with the assets, we concluded that it is not more likely than not that the intangible assets are impaired.

Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares

~~In connection with our acquisition of Jefferies Group in March 2013, we issued a new~~We have one series of ~~3.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares~~callable mandatorily redeemable cumulative convertible preferred shares ("Preferred Shares") ($125.0 million at mandatory redemption value) in exchange for Jefferies Group's outstanding 3.25% Series A-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Shares have a 3.25% annual, cumulative cash dividend and are currently convertible into 4,440,863 common shares, an effective conversion price of $28.15 per share. The holders of the Preferred Shares are also entitled to an additional quarterly payment in the event we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock in an amount greater than $0.0625 per common share per quarter. The additional quarterly payment would be paid to the holders of Preferred Shares on an as converted basis and on a per share basis would equal the quarterly dividend declared and paid to a holder of a share of common stock in excess of $0.0625 per share.

In the first quarter of 2020, we increased our quarterly dividend from $0.125 to $0.15 per common share. This increased the preferred stock dividend from $3.8 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 to $4.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2020. Based on our current quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share, the effective rate on these Preferred Shares is approximately 4.5%. ~~The~~Our 125,000 Preferred Shares are callable beginning inJanuary 2023 at a price of $1,000 per share, plus accrued interest and are mandatorily redeemable in ~~2038.~~2038 for $125.0 million. The Preferred Shares have a dividend rate equal to the sum of 3.25% annual, cumulative cash dividend, plus an additional quarterly payment based on the amount by which our common stock dividends exceed $0.0625 per common share. The Preferred Shares are currently convertible into 4,440,863 common shares, an effective conversion price of $28.15 per share.

In the first quarter of 2021, we increased our quarterly dividend from $0.15 to $0.20 per common share. This increased the preferred stock dividend from $1.4 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020 to $1.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2021. Based on our current quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share, the effective rate on these Preferred Shares is approximately 5.2%.

Note ~~14.~~13. Compensation Plans

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") may be granted to new employees as "sign-on" awards, to existing employees as "retention" awards and to certain executive officers as awards for multiple years. Sign-on and retention awards are generally subject to annual ratable vesting over a four year service period and are amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related four years. Restricted stock and RSUs are granted to certain senior executives with market, performance and service conditions. Market conditions are incorporated into the grant-date fair value of senior executive awards using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the service period and is not reversed if the market condition is not met. Awards with performance conditions are amortized over the service period if it is determined that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

Senior Executive Compensation Plan. In December 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted certain senior executives nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SAR"). The total initial fair value of the stock option and SAR awards were recorded as expense at the time of the grant as both have no future service requirements. The SAR awards will be settled on a cash basis or, at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, may be converted irrevocably to a stock-settled award and are considered to be liability-classified share-based awards. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the outstanding SAR awards are recognized currently on an ongoing basis in Compensation and benefits expense. For the three months ended February 28, 2021, we recorded $46.4 million of total Compensation and benefits expense relating to the stock option and SAR awards, of which $12.9 million was stock-based compensation and $33.5 million related to the SAR awards.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. S~~hare-based~~Stock-based compensation expense relating to grants made under our share-based compensation plans was ~~$8.9~~$20.7 million (including $12.9 million related to the senior executive stock option award, as discussed above) and ~~$12.2~~$9.9 million for the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $29.6 million and $37.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. Total compensation cost includes the amortization of sign-on, retention and senior executive awards, less forfeitures and clawbacks. The total tax benefit recognized in results of operations related to ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation expenses was ~~$2.3~~$5.1 million and ~~$3.0~~$2.6 million for the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $7.5 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation plans was ~~$52.4~~$37.1 million; this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.0~~1.7 years.

At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, there were ~~1,749,000~~1,414,000 shares of restricted stock outstanding with future service required, ~~4,183,000~~2,862,000 RSUs outstanding with future service required (including target RSUs issuable under the senior executive compensation plan), ~~18,449,000~~16,850,000 RSUs outstanding with no future service required, 2,791,000 stock options outstanding and ~~1,105,000~~1,104,000 shares issuable under other plans. Additionally, the Preferred Shares are currently convertible into 4,440,863 common shares at an effective conversion price of $28.15 per share. The maximum potential increase to common shares outstanding resulting from these outstanding awards and the Preferred Shares is ~~23,737,000.~~28,048,000 at February 28, 2021.

Restricted Cash Awards. Jefferies Group provides compensation to certain new and existing employees in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements. These awards are amortized to compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is generally considered to start at the beginning of the annual compensation year. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the remaining unamortized amount of the restricted cash awards was ~~$606.2~~$423.0 million

and is included within Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition; this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~three~~3 years.

During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then current tax rate, and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts. The remaining net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 represents Jefferies Group's share of Berkadia's net unrealized gains on available for sale securities recorded under the equity method of accounting.

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, we consider multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, we consider the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of ~~third parties.~~third-parties.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of our revenues from contracts with customers:

Commissions and Other Fees. We earn commission and other fee revenues by executing, settling and clearing transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related and futures products. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenues associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commission revenues are generally paid on settlement date and we record a receivable between trade-date and payment on settlement date. We permit institutional customers to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and other services provided by ~~third parties.~~third-parties. The amounts allocated for those purposes are commonly referred to as soft dollar arrangements. We act as an agent in the soft dollar arrangements as the customer controls the use of the soft dollars and directs our payments to third-party service providers on ~~our~~its behalf. Accordingly, amounts allocated to soft dollar arrangements are netted against commission revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also earn investment research fees for the sales of our proprietary investment research when a contract with a client has been identified. The delivery of investment research services represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time when the performance obligation is to provide ongoing access to a research platform or research analysts, with fees recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the performance obligation is to provide individual interactions with research analysts or research events, with fees recognized on the interaction date.

We earn account advisory and distribution fees in connection with wealth management services. Account advisory fees are recognized over time using the time-elapsed method as we determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of investment advisory services as they are provided. Account advisory fees may be paid in advance of a specified service period or in arrears at the end of the specified service period (e.g., quarterly). Account advisory fees paid in advance are initially deferred within Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Distribution fees are variable and recognized when the uncertainties with respect to the amounts are resolved.

Investment Banking. We provide our clients with a full range of financial advisory and underwriting services. Revenues from financial advisory services primarily consist of fees generated in connection with merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction. Fees received prior to the completion of the transaction are deferred within Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Advisory fees from restructuring engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as our clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services as they are provided. A significant portion of the fees we receive for our advisory services are considered variable as they are contingent upon a future event (e.g., completion of a transaction or third-party emergence from bankruptcy) and are excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. Payment for advisory services are generally due promptly upon completion of a specified milestone or, for retainer fees, periodically over the course of the engagement. We recognize a receivable between the date of completion of the milestone and payment by the customer. Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring assignments, are expensed as incurred. All investment banking advisory expenses are recognized within their respective expense category in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

Underwriting services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings and equity-linked convertible securities transactions and structuring, underwriting and distributing public and private debt, including investment grade debt, high yield bonds, leveraged loans, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Underwriting and placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the underwriting offering at that point. Costs associated with underwriting transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded, and are recorded on a gross basis within underwriting costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as we are acting as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by our clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

Asset Management Fees. We earn management and performance fees, recorded in Other revenues, in connection with investment advisory services provided to various funds and accounts, which are satisfied over time and measured using a time elapsed measure of progress as the customer receives the benefits of the services evenly throughout the term of the contract. Management and performance fees are considered variable as they are subject to fluctuation (e.g., changes in assets under management, market performance) and/or are contingent on a future event during the measurement period (e.g., meeting a specified benchmark) and are recognized only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Management fees are generally based on month-end assets under management or an agreed upon notional amount and are included in the transaction price at the end of each month when the assets under management or notional amount is known. Performance fees are received when the return on assets under management for a specified performance period exceed certain benchmark returns, "high-water marks" or other performance targets. The performance period related to our performance fees is annual or semi-annual. Accordingly, performance fee revenue will generally be recognized only at the end of the performance period to the extent that the benchmark return has been met.

Manufacturing Revenues. Idaho Timber's primary business consists of the sale of lumber that is manufactured or remanufactured at one of its locations. Agreements with customers for these sales specify the type, quantity and price of products to be delivered as well as the delivery date and payment terms. The transaction price is fixed at the time of sale and revenue is generally recognized when the customer takes control of the product.

Information on Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material at ~~August 31, 2020.~~February 28, 2021. Investment banking advisory fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not included in the transaction price at ~~August 31, 2020.~~February 28, 2021.

~~We recognized $15.6 million and $9.6 million during~~During the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $10.8~~we recognized $8.2 million and ~~$27.2~~$6.4 million, ~~during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively, of revenues related to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, mainly due to resolving uncertainties in variable consideration that was constrained in prior periods. In addition, we recognized ~~$4.3~~$2.9 million and ~~$6.0~~$5.6 million during the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $14.4 million and $15.8 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively, of revenues primarily associated with distribution services, a portion of which relates to prior periods.

Contract Balances

The timing of our revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and we have an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers of ~~$321.4~~$367.0 million and ~~$263.7~~$332.5 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. We had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and ~~2019.~~February 29, 2020.

Our deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer and milestone fees received in investment banking advisory engagements where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Deferred revenues were ~~$18.2~~$15.9 million and ~~$12.8~~$14.8 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, which are recorded as Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the three months ended ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we recognized $19.1 million of deferred revenue from the balance at May 31, 2020. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, we recognized $9.6 million of deferred revenue from the balance at May 31, 2019. During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, we recognized $9.3$6.9 million of deferred revenue from the balance at November 30, ~~2019.~~2020. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2019,~~February 29, 2020, we recognized ~~$9.8~~$5.6 million of deferred revenue from the balance at November 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

Contract Costs

We capitalize costs to fulfill contracts associated with investment banking advisory engagements where the revenue is recognized at a point in time and the costs are determined to be recoverable. Capitalized costs to fulfill a contract are recognized at the point in time that the related revenue is recognized.

At ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were ~~$2.8~~$1.3 million and ~~$4.8~~$1.8 million, respectively, which are recorded in Receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We recognized expenses of ~~$0.8~~$1.2 million and ~~$1.6~~$1.9 million,during the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $3.6 million and $3.8 million,during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively, related to costs to fulfill a contract that were capitalized as of the beginning of the period. There were no significant impairment charges recognized in relation to these capitalized costs during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and ~~2019.~~February 29, 2020.

Note ~~17.~~16. Income Taxes

The aggregate amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was ~~$374.1~~$431.7 million (including ~~$81.4~~$92.2 million for interest) at ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, of which ~~$233.2~~$258.9 million related to Jefferies Group, and was ~~$327.3~~$401.4 million (including ~~$67.2~~$87.1 million for interest) at November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, of which ~~$181.2~~$234.0 million related to Jefferies Group. If recognized, such amounts would lower our effective tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No material penalties were accrued for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and ~~2019.~~February 29, 2020.

The net deferred tax asset was ~~$312.6~~$410.4 million and ~~$462.5~~$393.7 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The deferred tax asset is predominately attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, the largest component of which relates to compensation and benefits.

The statute of limitations with respect to our federal income tax returns has expired for all years through ~~2015.~~2016. We are currently under examination by various ~~major~~ tax jurisdictions. Prior to becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferies Group filed a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with its qualifying subsidiaries and was subject to income tax in various states, municipalities and foreign jurisdictions and Jefferies Group is also currently under examination by various ~~major~~ tax jurisdictions. We do not expect that resolution of these examinations will have a significant effect on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, but could have a significant impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in which resolution occurs.

Our provision for income taxes for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 was ~~$185.1~~$218.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of ~~28.7%~~27.3%.

Our ~~benefit~~provision for income taxes for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2019~~February 29, 2020 was ~~$522.6 million. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6~~$45.8 million, during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then currentrepresenting an effective tax rate and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts.29.0%.

(1)Represents dividends declared during the period on participating securities plus an allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities. Net losses are not allocated to participating securities. Participating securities represent restricted stock and RSUs for which requisite service has not yet been rendered and amounted to weighted average shares of ~~1,807,800~~1,482,000 and ~~2,018,000~~1,902,000 for the three months ended ~~August 31,~~February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and 1,851,900 and 1,910,700 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively.

Undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities based upon their right to share in earnings if all earnings for the period had been distributed.

For the three months ended August 31, 2019, shares related to the mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts as the effect was antidilutive.

Our Board of Directors from time to time has authorized the repurchase of our common shares. In January ~~2019, the Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million share repurchase authorization and in January~~ 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase of $250.0 million to the share repurchase ~~authorization. Additionally,~~authorization and in ~~connection with the HomeFed merger on July 1, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 9.25 million shares in the open market.

In June 2020, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $176.7 million ~~to $250.0~~and in September 2020, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $128.0 million. In January 2021, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $192.8 million. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we purchased a total of ~~32,659,910~~5,000,000 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of ~~$619.9~~$127.5 million, or an average price of ~~$18.98~~$25.51 per share.

(2)At ~~August 31, 2020, $6,183.8~~February 28, 2021, $5,894.4 million within forward starting securities purchased under agreements to resell and ~~$3,670.6~~$3,631.4 million within forward starting securities sold under agreements to repurchase settled within three business days.

Equity Commitments. Equity commitments include a commitment to invest in Jefferies Group's joint venture, Jefferies Finance, and commitments to invest in private equity funds and in Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC, the manager of the private equity funds, which consists of a team led by our President and a Director. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, Jefferies Group's outstanding commitments relating to Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC and its private equity funds were ~~$11.2~~$10.8 million.

See Note 8 for additional information regarding Jefferies Group's investment in Jefferies Finance.

Additionally, at ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we had other outstanding equity commitments to invest up to ~~$214.0~~$200.0 million into strategic affiliates and up to $218.5 million to various other investments.

Loan Commitments. From time to time we make commitments to extend credit to investment banking and other clients in loan syndication and acquisition finance, and ~~securities transactions and~~ to ~~SPE sponsors in connection with the funding of CLO and other asset-backed transactions.~~strategic affiliates. These commitments and any related drawdowns of these facilities typically have fixed maturity dates and are contingent on certain representations, warranties and contractual conditions applicable to the borrower. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we had $80.0 million of outstanding loan commitments to ~~clients.~~clients and $5.9 million to strategic affiliates.

Loan commitments outstanding at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 also include Jefferies Group's portion of the outstanding secured revolving credit facility provided to Jefferies Finance to support loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, $0.0 million of Jefferies Group's $250.0 million commitment was funded.

Underwriting Commitments. In connection with investment banking activities, we may from time to time provide underwriting commitments to our clients in connection with capital raising transactions.

Forward Starting Reverse Repos and Repos. We enter into commitments to take possession of securities with agreements to resell on a forward starting basis and to sell securities with agreements to repurchase on a forward starting basis that are primarily secured by U.S. government and agency securities.

Other Unfunded Commitments. Other unfunded commitments include obligations in the form of revolving notes, warehouse financings and debt securities to provide financing to asset-backed and CLO vehicles. Upon advancing funds, drawn amounts are collateralized by the assets of an entity.

Contingencies

We and our subsidiaries are parties to legal and regulatory proceedings that are considered to be either ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business or not significant to our consolidated financial position. We and our subsidiaries are also

involved, from time to time, in other exams, investigations and similar reviews (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding our businesses, certain of which may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other injunctions. We do not believe that any of these actions will have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but any amounts paid could be significant to results of operations for the period.

Guarantees

Derivative Contracts. Our dealer activities cause us to make markets and trade in a variety of derivative instruments. Certain derivative contracts that we have entered into meet the accounting definition of a guarantee under GAAP, including credit default swaps, written foreign currency options and written equity put options. On certain of these contracts, such as written interest rate caps and foreign currency options, the maximum payout cannot be quantified since the increase in interest or foreign exchange rates are not contractually limited by the terms of the contract. As such, we have disclosed notional values as a measure of our maximum potential payout under these contracts.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts associated with our derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee under GAAP at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 (in millions):


		Expected Maturity Date																					Expected Maturity Date
Guarantee Type	Guarantee Type	2020		2021		2022 and 2023		2024 and 2025		2026 and Later		Notional/ Maximum Payout		Guarantee Type	2021		2022		2023 and 2024		2025 and 2026		2027 and Later		Notional/ Maximum Payout

The derivative contracts deemed to meet the definition of a guarantee under GAAP are before consideration of hedging transactions and only reflect a partial or "one-sided" component of any risk exposure. Written equity options and written credit default swaps are often executed in a strategy that is in tandem with long cash instruments (e.g., equity and debt securities). We substantially mitigate our exposure to market risk on these contracts through hedges, such as other derivative contracts and/or cash instruments, and we manage the risk associated with these contracts in the context of our overall risk management framework. We believe notional amounts overstate our expected payout and that fair value of these contracts is a more relevant measure of our obligations. ~~The~~At February 28, 2021, the fair value of derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee is approximately ~~$197.9 million at August 31, 2020.~~$305.3 million.

Berkadia. We have agreed to reimburse Berkshire Hathaway for up to one-half of any losses incurred under a $1.5 billion surety policy securing outstanding commercial paper issued by an affiliate of Berkadia. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the aggregate amount of commercial paper outstanding was $1.47 billion.

HomeFed. For real estate development projects, HomeFed is generally required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds at the beginning of construction work and warranty bonds upon completion of such improvements. These bonds are issued by surety companies to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project and provide funds primarily to a municipality in the event HomeFed is unable or unwilling to complete certain infrastructure improvements. As HomeFed develops the planned area and the municipality accepts the improvements, the bonds are released. Should the respective municipality or others draw on the bonds for any reason, certain of HomeFed's subsidiaries would be obligated to pay. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the aggregate amount of infrastructure improvement bonds outstanding was ~~$67.6~~$71.3 million.

Other Guarantees. We are members of various exchanges and clearing houses. In the normal course of business, we provide guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges. These guarantees generally are required under the standard membership agreements, such that members are required to guarantee the performance of other members. Additionally, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing house, other members would be required to meet these shortfalls. To mitigate these performance risks, the exchanges and clearing houses often require members to post collateral. Our obligations under such guarantees could exceed the collateral amounts posted. Our maximum potential liability under these arrangements cannot be quantified; however, the potential for us to be required to make payments under such guarantees is deemed remote.

Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these arrangements. Additionally, we provide certain indemnifications in connection with third-party clearing and execution arrangements whereby a ~~third party~~third-party may clear and settle transactions on behalf of our clients. These indemnifications generally have standard contractual terms and are entered into in the ordinary course of business. Our obligations in respect of such transactions are secured by the assets in our client's account, as well as

any proceeds received from the transactions cleared and settled on behalf of our client. However, we believe that it is unlikely we would have to make any material payments under these arrangements and no material liabilities related to these indemnifications have been recognized.

Standby Letters of Credit. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we provided guarantees to certain counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit totaling $22.0 million. Standby letters of credit commit us to make payment to the beneficiary if the guaranteed party fails to fulfill its obligation under a contractual arrangement with that beneficiary. Since commitments associated with these collateral instruments may expire unused, the amount shown does not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirement. Primarily all letters of credit expire within one year.

Note ~~20.~~19. Net Capital Requirements

During March 2020, the global novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and initial actions taken in response wreaked havoc on the global economy and all financial markets, and adversely affected our businesses. Subsequently, with various government actions and more clarity from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank on future interest rate policy, the equity markets have experienced strong rebound and a supportive trading environment for investors has emerged along with renewed activity in the equity and debt new issue capital markets. Jefferies Group has experienced strong market volumes and increased client activity across its capital markets business with considerably improved performance. Jefferies Group's investment banking backlog remains solid and its current level of incoming new business is strong. We continue to monitor the impact of the pandemic on the operations and value of our investments. Our leadership is continuously monitoring circumstances around COVID-19, as well as economic and capital market conditions, and providing frequent communications to both our clients and our employees.

Total record equities net revenues were $318.8 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 65.0%, compared with $193.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, driven by record results in our core equities business. Our strong performance was a result of the continued expansion of our business both from a product and geographic perspective, as well as increased market volumes. We continued to see expansion across our client franchise as we believe we provided consistent and exceptional advisory and execution capabilities to our clients globally throughout this unprecedented period.

Our results include record net revenues in our Asia cash equities businesses, which were driven by our recent expansion and investment across Asian markets, as well as in our domestic and international convertibles businesses, which continue to be market leading and part of our globalization strategy. The majority of our businesses had higher results in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the prior year period.

Results in our global cash equities businesses were driven by increased client activity, which is a result of higher market volumes and the continued globalization of our advisory and execution franchise. The growth in our record global convertibles business was driven by higher trading volumes and volatility, increased primary issuance, and increased client flow. The higher results in our global electronic trading business were driven by increased global market volumes and volatility. Our exchange traded funds business had higher results driven by increased trading revenues and the market environment.

Our equity options business had lower revenues as compared to the prior year quarter, driven by a decline in trading results and client activity. Results in our prime services business were lower as a result of the market environment, partially offset by the expansion and momentum of our outsourced trading franchise.

Our global emerging markets business similarly benefited in the current year quarter, with government support of the credit markets driving increased client trading activity and opportunities.

~~The current year quarter results also included improved revenues in our municipal securities business, which benefited~~franchise resulted from ~~the return of investors to the municipals market as spreads tightened.~~

Fixed income net revenues totaled a record $1,077.7 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of 107.9% from net revenues of $518.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to strong trading volumes, as clients continued to navigate through uncertainty, and the businesses having successfully managed through the markets' high level of volatility during the period.

Our U.S. rates business had record net revenues in the current year period, benefiting from increased volatility and bid-offer spreads. Similarly, our international rates business performed strongly in comparable market conditions, but also underperformed in the prior year period, as concerns over Brexit and economic challenges in other European countries limited trading opportunities.

The results for the first quarter of 2020 include gains of $61.5 million from macro hedges that were bought and sold in the first quarter of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 include net revenues of ~~$18.5~~$30.0 million due to our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with ~~$24.3~~$21.9 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Net revenues from our other business category totaled $90.0 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $36.4 million compared with $53.6 million for the first nine months of 2019. The results in the first nine months of 2020 include gains of $61.5 million from hedges that were bought and sold in the first quarter ~~as we took a more cautious risk position due to the onset~~ of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

Results in the first nine months of 2020 also include net revenues of $40.4 million due to our share of the net income of Berkadia compared with $72.2 million in the first nine months of 2019. The lower net revenues in the current year period are due to the impairment of mortgage servicing rights as a result of lower interest rates, higher loan loss provisions and a decline in loan originations due to the impact of COVID-19 in the second quarter of the current year.2020.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense consists of salaries, benefits, commissions, annual cash compensation and share-based awards and the amortization of share-based and cash compensation awards to employees. Cash and share-based awards and a portion of cash awards granted to employees as part of year end compensation generally contain provisions such that employees who terminate their employment or are terminated without cause may continue to vest in their awards, so long as those awards are not forfeited as a result of other forfeiture provisions (primarily non-compete clauses) of those awards. Accordingly, the compensation expense for a portion of awards granted at year end as part of annual compensation is recorded induring the year of the award. Compensation and benefits expense includes amortization expense associated with these awards to the extent ~~there are respective~~vesting is contingent on future ~~service periods.~~service. In addition, the senior executive awards contain market and performance ~~conditions.~~conditions and the awards are amortized over their service periods.

Compensation and benefits expense increased to $1.11 billion for the first quarter of 2021 from $620.9 million for the first quarter of 2020. The following table provides a summary of compensation and benefits expense (dollars in thousands):


	For the Three Months Ended
		February 28, 2021		February 29, 2020

Compensation expense without future service requirements		$	1,064,910	$	537,836
Amortization of share-based and cash-based awards		41,302		83,088
Total Compensation and benefits expense		$	1,106,212	$	620,924

Compensation and benefits expense increased in line with the significant increase in our net revenues. A significant portion of compensation expense ~~remains~~is highly variable. Compensation and benefits as a percentage of Net revenues were 56.5% and 52.8% for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 54.8% and 54.2% for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense related to the amortizationvariable with net revenues. Amortization of share-based and cash-based awards ~~amounted to $73.4 million and $78.8 million for~~decreased as a result of the ~~third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $235.9 million and $224.3 million for~~accelerated amortization recognized in the ~~first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.~~year ended November 30, 2020.

Non-Compensation Expenses

Non-compensation expenses include floor brokerage and clearing fees, underwriting costs, technology and communications expense, occupancy and equipment rental expense, business development, professional services, bad debt provision, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization expense and other costs. All of these expenses, other than floor brokerage and clearing fees and depreciation and amortization expense, are included in Selling, general and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-compensation expenses were ~~$273.0~~$310.0 million for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, an increase of ~~$1.9~~$32.1 million, ~~or 0.7%,~~ compared with ~~$271.1~~$277.9 million in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Non-compensation expenses as a percentage of Net revenues were ~~21.4%~~15.8% and ~~35.8% for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our business.~~

The increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily due to higher underwriting costs primarily due to an increase in the number of transactions and higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees due to an increase in trading volumes across the equities and fixed income businesses. The increase was also due to higher technology and communication expenses primarily related to increased market data and connectivity usage and costs associated with the development of various trading systems and continued costs associated with a largely remote working environment. The increase in non-compensation expenses was partially offset by lower business development expenses as business travel and hosted events were curtailed due to COVID-19.

~~Non-compensation expenses were $813.4 million~~24.2% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020, an increase of $54.3 million, or 7.2%, compared with $759.1 million in the first nine months of 2019. Non-compensation expenses as a percentage of Net revenues were 23.6%~~2021 and ~~33.4% for the first nine months of~~ 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our business.

The modest absolute increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily due to higher Floor brokerage and clearing fees due to record net revenues in equities and strong net revenues in fixed income resulting from an increase in trading ~~volumes primarily across our equities businesses, as well as in the fixed income businesses and~~volumes. The increase was also due to higher underwriting costs, primarily due to record investment banking net revenues resulting from an increase in the ~~number~~volume of ~~transactions. The increase was also due to~~investment banking transactions and higher technology and communication expenses, primarily related to costs associated with the development of various trading systems and increased market data ~~and connectivity usage and costs associated with our move to a largely remote working environment.~~costs. Non-compensation ~~expense~~expenses in the first quarter of 2021 also ~~increased due to higher other expenses, which~~ included our charitable donations of ~~$8.6~~$7.7 million to approximately 130 charities around our planet that promote diversity and inclusion, support COVID-19 relief efforts, help Texas relief and support, protect and sustain our environment and strive to help humanity in ~~memory~~other meaningful ways. The first quarter of ~~Peg Broadbent, Jefferies Group's longstanding, esteemed CFO who tragically died from complications of COVID-19 in March and~~2020 included our $2.4 million donation made to various charities in support of the Australian wildfire relief effort. The increase in non-compensation expenses was partially offset by meaningfully lower business development expenses as business travel and ~~hosted~~ events ~~were~~remained substantially curtailed due to COVID-19.

Revenues

Asset management net revenues include the following:

• Total asset management fees: management and performance fees from funds and accounts managed by us;

•~~revenue~~ Revenue from arrangements with strategic ~~partners pursuant to agreements~~affiliates: revenues from affiliated asset managers in which we hold interests that entitle us to portions of ~~our partners'~~their revenues and/or ~~profits;~~profits, as well as earnings on our ownership interests in our affiliated asset managers; and

• Investment return: this includes investment income from ~~our investments~~capital invested in and managed by us and our affiliated asset ~~management business and other strategic partners.~~managers.

80The key components of asset management revenues are the level of assets under management and the performance return, for the most part on an absolute basis, and, in certain cases, relative to a benchmark or hurdle. These components can be affected by financial markets, profits and losses in the applicable investment portfolios and client capital activity. Further, asset management fees vary with the nature of investment management services. The terms under which clients may terminate our investment management authority, and the requisite notice period for such termination, varies depending on the nature of the investment vehicle and the liquidity of the portfolio assets. Performance fees and similar revenues are generally recognized once a year, typically in December, when they become fixed and determinable and are not probable of being significantly reversed. As a result, performance fees and similar revenues are generally realized and recognized in the first quarter of our fiscal year.

Asset Management Investments

In connection with building our business and growing revenues we participate in via our affiliated managers, our asset management business makes seed and additional strategic investments directly in alternative asset management separately managed accounts and co-mingled funds where we act as the asset manager or in affiliated asset managers where we have strategic relationships and participate in the earnings or profits of the affiliated manager. Our asset management investments generated an investment return of $170.8 million and $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table reflects amounts invested by asset manager (in thousands):

(1) Due to the level or nature of an investment in a fund, we may consolidate that fund, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the fund are included in the representative line items in the consolidated financial statements. At February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, $20.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, represents net investments in funds that have been consolidated in our financial statements.

Collectively, we and our affiliated asset managers have aggregate net asset values or net asset value equivalent assets under management of approximately $29.3 billion and $26.8 billion at February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively. Net asset values or net asset value equivalent assets under management are comprised of the fair value of the net assets of a fund, the net capital invested in a separately managed account, par value of collateralized loan obligations or notional account value. These include the following:

•$14.4 billion and $12.6 billion as of February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively - This includes the assets under management raised by affiliated asset managers with whom we have an ongoing profit or revenue sharing arrangement. In some instances, due to the timing of payments and crystallization of profits or revenue, the majority of revenue related to these relationships will be realized at their calendar year-end (during our first fiscal quarter).

•$11.6 billion and $10.8 billion as of February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively - Asset management activities within Jefferies Finance, our 50/50 joint venture with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, which represent the aggregate par value of collateralized loan obligations managed by Jefferies Finance, including those consolidated by Jefferies Finance. Because management evaluates segment performance based on the inclusion of our share of the net earnings of our Jefferies Finance joint venture in our Investment Banking and Capital Markets segment, those activities are excluded from our Asset Management segment results.

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas results for the first quarter of 2021 were lower than the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to increased unrealized losses related to oil hedge derivatives and decreased production revenues due to curtailed production and decreased development activity in the second half of 2020, partially offset by impairment charges recorded during the first quarter of 2020. Oil and gas net revenues totaled $13.3 million and $62.9 million during the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and primarily consist of three components: ~~unrealized gains and losses related to oil hedges, mark-to-market increases and decreases related to a financial instrument held at fair value, and production~~

•Production revenues ~~which also include~~(including the impact of realized gains and losses related to oil ~~hedges. Oil~~hedges) were $35.3 million and ~~gas net~~$45.4 million during the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in production revenues ~~include net~~related to lower production across most of the basin due to weather and reduced development activity during the second half of 2020 due to a lower price environment at that time.Production revenues included realized gains on oil hedges of $2.7 million during both the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

•Net unrealized gains (losses) related to oil hedge derivatives ~~of $(29.7)~~were $(21.9) million and ~~$0.3~~$20.0 million ~~for~~in the ~~third~~first quarter of 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, respectively, and $5.2 million and $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. ~~The decrease in the fair value of Vitesse Energy Finance's hedges in the third quarter of 2020 is a result of the appreciation of oil prices during the quarter.~~ As discussed further in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, Vitesse Energy Finance uses swaps and call and put options ~~in order~~ to reduce exposure to future oil price fluctuations. For the first quarter of 2021, approximately 73% of oil production was hedged at a weighted average price of approximately $58/barrel. For the remainder of ~~2020, over 100%~~2021, approximately 42% of expected oil production is hedged at a weighted average price of approximately ~~$60/~~$53/barrel.

Net revenues primarily include ~~realized and unrealized securities gains and~~ interest income ~~for investments held~~from the investment of our liquidity balance at the ~~holding~~parent company. The prior year balance reflects higher rates during the first quarter of 2020, which have since decreased. Total expenses include share-based compensation expense of ~~$3.2~~$9.1 million and ~~$5.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $10.5 million and $17.1~~$3.4 million for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. Share-based compensation expense is higher this quarter as it reflects $7.0 million related to the full current fair value of certain share-based grants made during this period, which were fully vested upon grant.

Parent Company Interest

Parent company interest expense totaled ~~$14.1~~$13.9 million and ~~$14.8 million for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $39.8 million and $44.3~~$12.8 million for the first ~~nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Parent company interest capitalized during the ~~third~~first quarter of 2021 and ~~first nine months of~~ 2020 was ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million and ~~$4.6~~$2.0 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our ~~provisions~~provision for income taxes ~~were $107.4 million and $185.1~~was $218.2 million for the ~~third~~first quarter ~~and first nine months~~ of ~~2020, respectively,~~2021, representing an effective tax rate of ~~26.1% and 28.7%, respectively.~~

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2019, respectively. Our provisions for~~2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, is primarily due to our substantially higher earnings before income taxes ~~for~~minimizing the ~~third quarter and first nine months~~impact of 2019 were reduced by $36.0 million resulting from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities that existed at the HomeFed acquisition. Prior to its consolidation on July 1, 2019, HomeFed was accounted for under the equity method as an investment in an associated company. Since we have the intent and ability under the tax law to recover the investment tax-free, the deferred tax liability associated with the equity method investment was derecognized.nondeductible expenses.

As discussed above, during the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6 million during the first nine months of 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then current tax rate, and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Parent Company Liquidity

Our strategy focuses on strengthening and expanding our core ~~business~~businesses of Investment Banking and Capital Markets and Asset Management, while continuing to simplify our structure and return capital to our shareholders. We are simplifying our structure through a managed transformation of Merchant Banking, which to date has included divestitures, special distributions to shareholders of assets, as well as transfers of financial assets out of our Merchant Banking portfolio and into Jefferies Group. We anticipate additional transactions as our transformation ~~progresses.~~is completed. Some of these transactions ~~generate~~have generated significant excess liquidity; some of these transactions have also ~~reduce~~reduced the future receipt of periodic distributions from subsidiaries to the parent company.

Parent company liquidity, which includes cash and investments that are easily convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time, total ~~$1,635.1~~$1,951.2 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and are primarily comprised of cash, prime and government money market funds and other publicly traded securities. These are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as cash and cash equivalents and financial instruments owned, at fair value. At ~~August 31, 2020, $1,291.2~~February 28, 2021, $1,560.7 million of this amount is invested in U.S. government money funds that invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, securities issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored entities and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by cash or government securities.

During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, our parent company received cash distributions of ~~$289.3~~$212.2 million from our ~~existing~~ subsidiary businesses, including ~~$206.6~~$153.6 million from Jefferies Group. We also received ~~$113.0~~$39.1 million from ~~divestitures and repayments of advances.~~divestitures.

Our recurring cash requirements, including the payment of interest on our parent company debt, dividends and corporate cash overhead expenses, aggregate approximately ~~$287.6~~$305.7 million on an annual basis. Dividends paid during the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020~~2021 of ~~$122.9~~$49.8 million include quarterly dividends of ~~$0.15~~$0.20 per share. The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon general business conditions, legal and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem to be relevant.

For many years, we ~~have~~ benefited from federal net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") which ~~have~~ substantially offset our federal cash tax requirements. As a result of ~~the usage~~full utilization of our federal NOLs and other tax attributes, we ~~expect to~~will incur federal cash tax liabilities in 2021.

Our primary long-term parent company cash requirement is our $1.0 billion principal outstanding as of ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 under our long-term debt, of which $750.0 million is due in 2023 and $250.0 million in 2043. As we generate excess liquidity, we evaluate the best use of the proceeds, which may include reductions to existing debt, share repurchases, special dividends, investments in our businesses, or any of a number of other options available to us.

Shares Outstanding

At November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we had approximately ~~$203.6~~$57.2 million available for future share ~~repurchases, based on the closing price of Jefferies common shares on November 30, 2019.~~repurchases. In January 2020, the Board of Directors approved an additional $250.0 million share repurchase authorization. In March 2020, having completed the repurchase of shares under the previous authorization, the Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase authorization of $100 million. In June 2020,2021, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by ~~$176.7~~$192.8 million to $250.0 million. During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we purchased a total of ~~32,659,910~~5,000,000 of our common shares for ~~$619.9~~$127.5 million, or an average price per share of ~~$18.98.~~$25.51. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we had approximately ~~$122.0~~$122.5 million available for future repurchases. In ~~September 2020,~~March 2021, the Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $250.0 million, including the ~~$122.0~~$122.5 million.

At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we had outstanding ~~259,245,885~~246,703,277 common shares, ~~and 23,737,000~~20,816,000 share-based awards that do not require the holder to pay any exercise price ~~(potentially~~and 2,791,000 stock options that require the holder to pay an ~~aggregate~~average exercise price of ~~282,982,885 outstanding common shares if all awards become outstanding common shares).~~$23.45 per share. The ~~23,737,000~~20,816,000 share-based awards include the target number of shares under the senior executive award plan. Additionally, we have mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares that are currently convertible into 4,440,863 common shares, at an effective conversion price of $28.15 per share. At February 28, 2021, the maximum potential increase to common shares outstanding resulting from these outstanding awards and the preferred shares is 28,048,000 (potentially an aggregate of 274,751,277 outstanding common shares if all awards and preferred shares become outstanding common shares).

Concentration and Liquidity Targets

From time to time in the past, we have accessed public and private credit markets and raised capital in underwritten bond financings. The funds raised have been used by us for general corporate purposes, including for our existing businesses and new investment opportunities. In addition, the ratings of Jefferies are a factor considered by rating agencies that rate the debt of our subsidiary companies, including Jefferies Group, whose access to external financing is important to its day to day operations. Ratings issued by bond rating agencies, subject to change at any time, are as follows:


	Rating	Outlook
Moody's Investors Service (1)	Baa3	~~Stable~~Positive
Standard and Poor's ~~(2)~~	BBB	~~Negative~~Stable
Fitch Ratings	BBB	Stable

(1) On ~~April~~March 15, ~~2020,~~2021, Moody's Investors Service affirmed our rating of Baa3 and ~~rating outlook of stable.~~

~~(2) On April 14, 2020, Standard and Poor's affirmed our rating of BBB and~~ revised our rating outlook from stable to ~~negative.~~positive.

We target specific concentration and liquidity principles although there is no legal requirement to do so.

Concentration Target: As a diversification measure, we limit cash investments such that our single largest investment does not exceed 20% of equity excluding Jefferies Group, and that our next largest investment does not exceed 10% of equity excluding Jefferies Group, in each case measured at the time the investment was made. On this basis, Linkem is our largest investment excluding Jefferies Group and Vitesse Energy Finance is our next largest investment excluding Jefferies Group. There were no investments made during the year that approached 10% of equity excluding Jefferies Group.

Liquidity Target: We hold a parent company liquidity reserve calculated as a minimum of twenty-four months of holding company expenses (excluding non-cash components), parent company interest, and dividends. Maturities of parent company debt within the upcoming year are also included in the target; however, our next maturity is during 2023 so there is no current inclusion.

Actual liquidity	$	~~1,635,109~~1,951,214

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

As discussed above, we have historically relied on our available liquidity to meet short-term and long-term needs, and to make acquisitions of new businesses and investments. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, our operating businesses do not generally require significant funds to support their operating activities. The mix of our operating businesses and investments can change frequently as a result of acquisitions or divestitures, the timing of which is impossible to predict but which often have a significant impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in any one period. Further, the timing and amounts of distributions from investments in associated companies may be outside our control. As a result, reported cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities do not generally follow any particular pattern or trend, and reported results in the most recent period should not be expected to recur in any subsequent period.

Jefferies Group Liquidity

General

The Chief Financial Officer and Global Treasurer of Jefferies Group are responsible for developing and implementing liquidity, funding and capital management strategies for Jefferies Group. These policies are determined by the nature and needs of day to day business operations, business opportunities, regulatory obligations and liquidity requirements.

The actual levels of capital, total assets and financial leverage are a function of a number of factors, including asset composition, business initiatives and opportunities, regulatory requirements and cost and availability of both long-term and short-term funding. Jefferies Group has historically maintained a balance sheet consisting of a large portion of total assets in cash and liquid marketable securities, arising principally from traditional securities brokerage and trading activity. The liquid nature of these assets provides flexibility in financing and managing our business.

Jefferies Group maintains modest leverage to support its investment grade ratings. The growth of its balance sheet is supported by its equity and we have quantitative metrics in place to monitor leverage and double leverage. Jefferies ~~Group~~Group's capital plan is

robust, in order to sustain its operating model through stressed conditions. We maintain adequate financial resources to support business activities in both normal and stressed market conditions, including a buffer in excess of regulatory, or other internal or external, requirements. Jefferies Group's access to funding and liquidity is stable and efficient to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in normal and stressed market conditions.

A business unit level balance sheet and cash capital analysis are prepared and reviewed with senior management on a weekly basis. As a part of this balance sheet review process, capital is allocated to all assets and gross balance sheet limits are adjusted, as necessary. This process ensures that the allocation of capital and costs of capital are incorporated into business decisions. The goals of this process are to protect the firm's platform, enable the businesses to remain competitive, maintain the ability to manage capital proactively and hold businesses accountable for both balance sheet and capital usage.

We actively monitor and evaluate our financial condition and the composition of assets and liabilities. The overall securities inventory is continually monitored, including the inventory turnover rate, which confirms the liquidity of overall assets. Substantially all of Jefferies Group's financial instruments are valued on a daily basis and we monitor and employ balance sheet limits for its various businesses.

At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition includes Jefferies Group's Level 3 financial instruments owned, at fair value that are approximately 2% of total financial instruments owned, at fair value.

Securities financing assets and liabilities include financing for financial instruments trading activity, matched book transactions and mortgage finance transactions. Matched book transactions accommodate customers, as well as obtain securities for the settlement and financing of inventory positions.

The following table presents period end balance, average balance and maximum balance at any month end within the periods presented for Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (in millions):

Maximum month end	Maximum month end	18,979		19,654		Maximum month end	19,207		18,979

Fluctuations in the balance of repurchase agreements from period to period and intraperiod are dependent on business activity in those periods. Additionally, the fluctuations in the balances of securities purchased under agreements to resell are influenced in any given period by our clients' balances and our clients' desires to execute collateralized financing arrangements via the repurchase market or via other financing products. Average balances and period end balances will fluctuate based on market and liquidity conditions and we consider the fluctuations intraperiod to be typical for the repurchase market.

Liquidity Management

The key objectives of Jefferies Group's liquidity management framework are to support the successful execution of its business strategies while ensuring sufficient liquidity through the business cycle and during periods of financial distress. The liquidity management policies are designed to mitigate the potential risk that adequate financing may not be accessible to service financial obligations without material franchise or business impact.

The principal elements of Jefferies Group's liquidity management framework are the Contingency Funding Plan, the Cash Capital Policy and the assessment of ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow.

9380

Contingency Funding Plan. Jefferies Group's Contingency Funding Plan is based on a model of a potential liquidity contraction over a one year time period. This incorporates potential cash outflows during a liquidity stress event, including, but not limited to, the following:

•Repayment of all unsecured debt maturing within one year and no incremental unsecured debt issuance;

•Maturity rolloff of outstanding letters of credit with no further issuance and replacement with cash collateral;

•Higher margin requirements than currently exist on assets on securities financing activity, including repurchase agreements;

•Liquidity outflows related to possible credit downgrade;

•Lower availability of secured funding;

•Client cash withdrawals;

•The anticipated funding of outstanding investment and loan commitments; and

•Certain accrued expenses and other liabilities and fixed costs.

Cash Capital Policy. A cash capital model is maintained that measures long-term funding sources against requirements. Sources of cash capital include equity and the noncurrent portion of long-term borrowings. Uses of cash capital include the following:

•Illiquid assets such as equipment, goodwill, net intangible assets, exchange memberships, deferred tax assets and certain investments;

•A portion of securities inventory that is not expected to be financed on a secured basis in a credit stressed environment (i.e., margin requirements); and

•Drawdowns of unfunded commitments.

To ensure that inventory does not need to be liquidated in the event of a funding crisis, we seek to maintain surplus cash capital, which is reflected in the leverage ratios Jefferies Group maintains. Jefferies Group's total long-term capital of ~~$12.5~~$13.2 billion at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 exceeded its cash capital requirements.

~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow. Jefferies Group's businesses are diverse, and liquidity needs are determined by many factors, including market movements, collateral requirements and client commitments, all of which can change dramatically in a difficult funding environment. During a liquidity crisis, credit-sensitive funding, including unsecured debt and some types of secured financing agreements, may be unavailable, and the terms (e.g., interest rates, collateral provisions and tenor) or availability of other types of secured financing may change. As a result of Jefferies Group's policy to ensure it has sufficient funds to cover estimates of what may be needed in a liquidity crisis, Jefferies Group holds more cash and unencumbered securities and has greater long-term debt balances than the businesses would otherwise require. As part of this estimation process, we calculate a ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow that could be experienced in a liquidity crisis. ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow is based on a scenario that includes both a market-wide stress and firm-specific stress.

Based on the sources and uses of liquidity calculated under the ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow scenarios, we determine, based on a calculated surplus or deficit, additional long-term funding that may be needed versus funding through the repurchase financing market and consider any adjustments that may be necessary to Jefferies Group's inventory balances and cash holdings. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, Jefferies Group had sufficient excess liquidity to meet all contingent cash outflows detailed in the ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow. We regularly refine our model to reflect changes in market or economic conditions and the firm's business mix.

The remaining ~~$330.9~~$14.9 million and ~~$87.4~~$14.9 million at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, are invested in AAA rated prime money funds.

(4)Other includes unencumbered inventory representing an estimate of the amount of additional secured financing that could be reasonably expected to be obtained from financial instruments owned that are currently not pledged after considering reasonable financing haircuts.

In addition to the cash balances and liquidity pool presented above, the majority of financial instruments (both long and short) in our trading accounts are actively traded and readily marketable. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, repurchase financing can be readily obtained for ~~74.4%~~approximately 67% of Jefferies Group's inventory at haircuts of 10% or less, which reflects the liquidity of the inventory. In addition, as a matter of our policy, all of these assets have internal capital assessed, which is in addition to the funding haircuts provided in the securities finance markets. Additionally, certain of Jefferies Group's financial instruments owned primarily consisting of bank loans, consumer loans and investments are predominantly funded by Jefferies Group's long-term capital. Under Jefferies Group's cash capital policy, capital allocation levels are modeled that are more stringent than the haircuts used in the market for secured funding; and surplus capital is maintained at these more stringent levels. We continually assess the liquidity of Jefferies Group's inventory based on the level at which Jefferies Group could obtain financing in the marketplace for a given asset. Assets are considered to be liquid if financing can be obtained in the repurchase market or the securities lending market at collateral haircut levels of 10% or less.

There are no restrictions on the unencumbered liquid securities, nor have they been pledged as collateral.

Sources of Funding and Capital Resources

Jefferies Group's assets are funded by equity capital, senior debt, securities loaned, securities sold under agreements to ~~purchase,~~repurchase, customer free credit balances, bank loans and other payables.

Secured Financing

Readily available secured funding is used to finance Jefferies Group's inventory of financial instruments. Jefferies Group's ability to support increases in total assets is largely a function of the ability to obtain short- and intermediate-term secured funding, primarily through securities financing transactions. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements (collectively "repos"), respectively, are used to finance a portion of long inventory and cover some of short inventory by pledging and borrowing securities. ~~Approximately 68.8%~~At February 28, 2021, approximately 62% of Jefferies Group's cash and noncash repurchase financing activities use collateral that is considered eligible collateral by central clearing corporations. During the first quarter of 2021, an average of approximately 74% of Jefferies Group's cash and noncash repurchase financing activities used collateral that was considered eligible collateral by central clearing corporations. Central clearing corporations are situated between participating members who borrow cash and lend securities (or vice versa); accordingly, repo participants contract with the central clearing corporation and not one another individually. Therefore, counterparty credit risk is borne by the central clearing corporation which mitigates the risk through initial margin demands and variation margin calls from repo participants. The comparatively large proportion of Jefferies Group's total repo activity that is eligible for central clearing reflects the high quality and liquid composition of the inventory Jefferies Group carries in its trading books. For those asset classes not eligible for central clearing house financing, Jefferies Group seeks to execute its bi-lateral financings on an extended term basis and the tenor of Jefferies Group's repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements generally exceeds the expected holding period of the assets Jefferies Group is financing. The weighted average maturity of cash and noncash repurchase agreements for non-clearing corporation eligible funded inventory is approximately ~~six~~seven months at ~~August 31, 2020.~~February 28, 2021.

Jefferies Group's ability to finance its inventory via central clearinghouses and bi-lateral arrangements is augmented by Jefferies Group's ability to draw bank loans on an uncommitted basis under its various banking arrangements. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, short-term borrowings, which must be repaid within one year or less and include bank loans and overdrafts, borrowings under revolving credit facilities and floating rate puttable notes, ~~and equity-linked notes,~~ totaled ~~$805.4~~$882.9 million. Interest under the bank lines is generally at a spread over the federal funds rate. Letters of credit are used in the normal course of business mostly to satisfy various collateral

requirements in favor of exchanges in lieu of depositing cash or securities. Average daily short-term

borrowings outstanding for Jefferies Group were ~~$643.5 million and $592.3~~$884.4 million for the ~~third~~first quarter ~~and first nine months~~ of ~~2020, respectively.~~2021.

~~Our~~Jefferies Group's short-term borrowings include facilities that contain certain covenants that, among other things, require it to maintain a specified level of tangible net worth and impose certain restrictions on the ~~following facilities:~~future indebtedness of certain of its subsidiaries that are borrowers.

The Jefferies Group Intraday Credit Facility is structured so that advances are generally repaid before the end of each business day. However, if an advance is not repaid by the end of any business day, the advance is converted to an overnight loan. Intraday loans accrue interest at a rate of 0.12%. Interest is charged based on the number of minutes in a day the advance is outstanding. Overnight loans are charged interest at the base rate plus 3% on a daily basis. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate in effect at that time. The ~~Jefferies Group~~ Intraday Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which include a minimum regulatory net capital requirement for Jefferies Group's U.S. broker-dealer, Jefferies LLC. At ~~August 31, 2020, we were~~February 28, 2021, Jefferies Group was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Jefferies Group Intraday Credit Facility.

In addition to the above financing arrangements, Jefferies Group issues notes backed by eligible collateral under a master repurchase agreement, which provides an additional financing source for its inventory ("repurchase agreement financing program"). The notes issued under the program are presented within Other secured financings in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the outstanding notes were ~~$2.8~~$3.8 billion, bear interest at a spread over LIBOR and mature from ~~September 2020~~March 2021 to ~~May 2022.~~January 2023.

Long-Term Debt

Jefferies Group's long-term debt reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 is ~~$7.0~~$6.9 billion.

Jefferies Group's access to external financing to finance its day to day operations, as well as the cost of that financing, is dependent upon various factors, including its debt ratings. Jefferies Group's current debt ratings are dependent upon many factors, including industry dynamics, operating and economic environment, operating results, operating margins, earnings trend and volatility, balance sheet composition, liquidity and liquidity management, capital structure, overall risk management, business diversification and market share and competitive position in the markets in which it operates. ~~Deteriorations~~Deterioration in any of these factors could impact Jefferies Group's credit ratings. While certain aspects of a credit rating downgrade are quantifiable pursuant to contractual provisions, the impact on business and trading results in future periods is inherently uncertain and depends on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the downgrade, the behavior of individual clients and future mitigating action taken by us.

In connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contract arrangements and certain other trading arrangements, weJefferies Group may be required to provide additional collateral to counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations in the event of a credit rating downgrade. At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, the amount of additional collateral that could be called by counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations under the terms of such agreements in the event of a downgrade of Jefferies Group's long-term credit rating below investment grade was ~~$76.0~~$126.9 million. For certain foreign clearing organizations, credit rating is only one of several factors employed in determining collateral that could be called. The above represents management's best estimate for additional collateral to be called in the event of a credit rating downgrade. The impact of additional collateral requirements is considered in Jefferies Group's Contingency Funding Plan and calculation of ~~Maximum~~Modeled Liquidity Outflow, as described above.

Ratings issued by credit rating agencies are subject to change at any time.

Net Capital

Jefferies Group operates a broker-dealer, Jefferies LLC, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and member firms of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Jefferies LLC is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1 in calculating net capital. Jefferies LLC, as a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM"), is also subject to Rule 1.17 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), which sets forth minimum financial requirements. The minimum net capital requirement in determining excess net capital for a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and FCM is equal to the greater of the requirement under Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Rule 1.17. Jefferies LLC's net capital and excess net capital at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 were ~~$1,612.5~~$2,019.3 million and ~~$1,531.9~~$1,902.9 million, respectively.

FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies LLC and the National Futures Association is the designated self-regulatory organization for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.

regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom ("U.K."). The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that require the registration of all swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and/or major security-based swap participants. The CFTC has finalized rules establishing capital requirements and financial reporting requirements for CFTC registered swap dealers not subject to regulation by a banking regulator. We expect that these provisions will result in modifications to the regulatory capital requirements of some of Jefferies Group's entities, and will result in some of Jefferies Group's other entities becoming subject to regulatory capital requirements for the first time, including Jefferies Financial Services, Inc., which registered as a swap dealer with the CFTC during January 2013 and Jefferies Financial Products LLC, which registered during August 2014. Jefferies Group may also be required in the future to register one or more additional subsidiaries as security-based swap dealers with the SEC. Compliance with these rules is required by October 6, 2021.

The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict Jefferies Group's ability to withdraw capital from its regulated subsidiaries.

The U.K. formally withdrew from the European Union ("EU") on January 31, 2020 and entered a transition period that is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020. During the transition period, existing arrangements between the U.K. and EU will remain in place while the U.K. and EU seek to negotiate a free trade agreement that will govern their future trading relationship. We have taken steps to ensure our ability to provide services to our European clients without interruption. As such, we have established a wholly-owned subsidiary of our U.K. broker-dealer in Germany, which has been approved as an authorized Market in Financial Instruments Directive investment firm by the German regulator and which will enable us to conduct business across all of our European investment banking, fixed income and equity platforms. The new entity started trading in 2019 with EU clients with further clients migrating throughout 2020, and our plans contemplate providing sufficient capital pursuant to the regulatory requirements for the planned operations as well pursuant to requirements of relevant clearing organizations.

Some of our other consolidated subsidiaries also have credit agreements which may restrict the payment of cash dividends, or the ability to make loans or advances to the parent company.

Other Developments

The U.K. left the European Union on January 31, 2020 and the current transition period ended on December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2021, Jefferies Group's U.K. broker-dealer, Jefferies International Limited, was no longer able to provide services to European clients under the passport regime. Jefferies Group has taken steps to ensure its ability to provide services to its European clients without interruption by establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany ("Jefferies GmbH"), which is authorized and regulated in Germany by the Federal Financial Services Authority ("BaFin"). At January 1, 2021, all of Jefferies Group's European clients have been migrated to Jefferies GmbH to conduct business across all of Jefferies Group's European investment banking, fixed income and equity platforms. There were no client disruptions or settlement issues experienced after this migration.

Central banks and regulators around the world have convened working groups to find, and implement the transition to, suitable replacements for IBORs. Jefferies Group has an active transition program that focuses on an orderly transition from IBORs to alternative reference rates, including internal operational readiness and risk management. Jefferies Group is identifying, assessing and monitoring risk associated with the expected discontinuation of IBORs, which includes taking steps to update operational processes and models and evaluation legacy contracts for any changes that may be required.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Jefferies Group has contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of business for securities loaned or purchased under agreements to resell, repurchase agreements, future purchases and sales of foreign currencies, securities transactions on a when-issued basis and underwriting. Each of these financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments may be in excess of, or less than, the contract amount. The settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon our consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, we engage in other off-balance sheet arrangements, including derivative contracts. Neither derivatives' notional amounts nor underlying instrument values are reflected as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Rather, the fair values of derivative contracts are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as Financial instruments owned, at fair value, or Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, at fair value, as applicable. Derivative contracts are reflected net of cash paid or received pursuant to credit support agreements and are reported on a net by counterparty basis when a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement.

Jefferies Group

Overview

Risk is an inherent part of our business and activities. The extent to which we properly and effectively identify, assess, monitor and manage each of the various types of risk involved in our activities is critical to our financial soundness, viability and profitability. Accordingly, we have a comprehensive risk management approach, with a formal governance structure and processes to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk. Principal risks involved in our business activities include market, credit, liquidity and capital, operational, legal and compliance, new business and reputational risk.

Risk management is a multifaceted process that requires communication, judgment and knowledge of financial products and markets. Our risk management process encompasses the active involvement of executive and senior management, and also many departments independent of the revenue-producing business units, including Jefferies Group's Risk Management, Operations, Compliance, Legal and Finance Departments. Our risk management policies, procedures and methodologies are flexible in nature and are subject to ongoing review and modification.

In achieving our strategic business objectives, our risk appetite incorporates keeping our clients' interests at the top of our priority list and ensuring we are in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as adhering to the highest ethical standards. We undertake prudent and conservative risk-taking that protects the capital base and franchise, utilizing risk limits and tolerances that avoid outsized risk-taking. We maintain a diversified business mix and avoid significant concentrations to any sector, product, geography, or activity and set quantitative concentration limits to manage this risk. We consider contagion, second order effects and correlation in our risk assessment process and actively seek out value opportunities of all sizes. We manage the risk of opportunities larger than our approved risk levels through risk sharing and risk distribution, sell-down and hedging, as appropriate. We have a limited appetite for illiquid assets and complex derivative financial instruments. We maintain the asset quality of our balance sheet through conducting trading activity in liquid markets and generally ensure high turnover of our inventory. We subject less liquid positions and derivative financial instruments to oversight and use a wide variety of specific metrics, limits, and constraints to manage these risks. We protect our reputation and franchise, as well as our standing within the market. We operate a federated approach to risk management with risk oversight responsibilities assigned to those areas of the business that have the appropriate knowledge.

For discussion of liquidity and capital risk management, refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section herein.

Risk Considerations

We apply a comprehensive framework of limits on a variety of key metrics to constrain the risk profile of our business activities. The size of the limits reflects our risk tolerance for a certain activity under normal business conditions. Key metrics included in our risk management framework include inventory position and exposure limits on a gross and net basis, scenario analysis and stress tests, Value-at-Risk ("VaR"), sensitivities, exposure concentrations, aged inventory, amount of Level 3 assets, counterparty exposure, leverage and cash capital.

Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss due to fluctuations in the market value of financial assets and liabilities attributable to changes in market variables.

Our market risk principally arises from interest rate risk, from exposure to changes in the yield curve, the volatility of interest rates, and credit spreads, and from equity price risks from exposure to changes in prices and volatilities of individual equities, equity baskets and

~~101~~88

equity indices. In addition, commodity price risk results from exposure to the changes in prices and volatilities of individual commodities, commodity baskets and commodity indices, and foreign exchange risk results from changes in foreign currency rates.

Market risk is present in our market-making, proprietary trading, underwriting, specialist and investing activities and is principally managed by diversifying exposures, controlling position sizes, and establishing economic hedges in related securities or derivatives. Due to imperfections in correlations, gains and losses can occur even for positions that are economically hedged. Position limits in trading and inventory accounts are established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Each day, consolidated position and exposure reports are prepared and distributed to various levels of management, which enable management to monitor inventory levels and the results of its trading businesses.

Value-at-Risk

VaR is a statistical estimate of the potential loss from adverse market movements over a specified time horizon within a specified probability (confidence level). It provides a common risk measure across financial instruments, markets and asset classes. We estimate VaR using a model that simulates revenue and loss distributions on Jefferies Group's trading portfolios by applying historical market changes to the current portfolio. We calculate a one day VaR using a one year look-back period measured at a 95% confidence level.

As with all measures of VaR, the estimate has inherent limitations due to the assumption that historical changes in market conditions are representative of the future. Furthermore, the VaR model measures the risk of a current static position over a one day horizon and might not capture the market risk over a longer time horizon where moves may be more extreme. Previous changes in market risk factors may not generate accurate predictions of future market movements. While we believe the assumptions and inputs in our risk model are reasonable, we could incur losses greater than the reported VaR. Consequently, this VaR estimate is only one of a number of tools we use in our daily risk management activities.

~~Average~~There was a modest increase in average daily VaR ~~increased~~ to ~~$10.46~~$16.02 million for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 from ~~$9.16~~$14.92 million for the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by ~~continued market volatility early in the current quarter, as well as increased equity exposure as we continue to build out our Asset Management business, partially offset by~~ a ~~decrease in interest rate risk and an increase in the~~lower diversification ~~benefit across asset classes and business divisions.~~effect.

The following table illustrates each separate component of VaR for each component of market risk by interest rate and credit spreads, equity, currency and commodity products, as well as for Jefferies Group's overall trading positions using the past 365 days of historical ~~data.~~data (in millions):

(1)For the VaR numbers reported above, a one day time horizon, with a one year look-back period, and a 95% confidence level were used.

(2)The diversification effect is not applicable for the maximum and minimum VaR values as Jefferies Group's firmwide VaR and VaR values for the four risk categories might have occurred on different days during the period.

The aggregated VaR presented here is less than the sum of the individual components (i.e., interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, equity risk and commodity price risk) due to the benefit of diversification among the four risk categories. Diversification benefit equals the difference between aggregated VaR and the sum of VaRs for the four risk categories and arises because the market risk categories are not perfectly correlated.

The primary method used to test the efficacy of the VaR model is to compare actual daily net revenue for those positions included in the VaR calculation with the daily VaR estimate. This evaluation is performed at various levels of the trading portfolio, from the overall level

~~102~~89

down to specific business lines. For the VaR model, trading related revenue is defined as principal transactions revenues, trading related commissions, revenue from securitization activities and net interest income.

For a 95% confidence one day VaR model (i.e., no intra-day trading), assuming current changes in market value are consistent with the historical changes used in the calculation, net trading losses would not be expected to exceed the VaR estimates more than twelve times on an annual basis (i.e., once in every 20 days). During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, results of the evaluation at the aggregate level demonstrated one day when the net trading loss exceeded the 95% one day VaR.

The chart below reflects our daily VaR over the last four ~~quarters with~~quarters.

Other Risk Measures

Certain positions within financial instruments are not included in the VaR model because VaR is not the most appropriate measure of risk. Accordingly, Jefferies Group's Risk Management has additional procedures in place to assure that the level of potential loss that would arise from market movements are within acceptable levels. Such procedures include performing stress tests, monitoring concentration risk and tracking price target/stop loss levels. The table below presents the potential reduction in net income associated with a 10% stress of the fair value of the positions that are not included in the VaR model at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 (in thousands):


	10% Sensitivity
~~Investments~~Investment in funds (1)	$	~~92,033~~101,782
Private investments	~~20,249~~15,012

Trade claims	~~4,052~~5,704

(1) Includes investments in hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds. For additional information on these investments, see Note 3 in our consolidated financial statements.

VaR also excludes the impact of changes in Jefferies Group's own credit spreads on its structured notes for which the fair value option was elected. The estimated credit spread risk sensitivity for each one basis point widening in ~~our~~Jefferies Group's own credit spreads on financial liabilities for which the fair value option was elected was an increase in value of approximately ~~of $1.2~~$1.6 million at ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, which is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Stress Tests and Scenario Analysis

Stress tests are used to analyze the potential impact of specific events or extreme market moves on the current portfolio both ~~firm-wide~~firm wide and within business segments. Stress testing is an important part of our risk management approach because it allows us to quantify our exposure to tail risks, highlight potential loss concentrations, undertake risk/reward analysis, set risk controls and overall assess and mitigate its risk.

We employ a range of stress scenarios, which comprise both historical market price and rate changes and hypothetical market environments, and generally involve simultaneous changes of many risk factors. Indicative market changes in our scenarios include, but are not limited to, a large widening of credit spreads, a substantial decline in equities markets, significant moves in selected emerging markets, large moves in interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.

Unlike VaR, which measures potential losses within a given confidence interval, stress scenarios do not have an associated implied probability. Rather, stress testing is used to estimate the potential loss from market moves that tend to be larger than those embedded in the VaR calculation. Stress testing complements VaR to cover for potential limitations of VaR such as the breakdown in correlations, non-linear risks, tail risk and extreme events and capturing market moves beyond the confidence levels assumed in the VaR calculations.

Stress testing is performed and reported at least weekly as part of our risk management process and on an ad hoc basis in response to market events or concerns. Current stress tests provide estimated revenue and loss of the current portfolio through a range of both historical and hypothetical events. The stress scenarios are reviewed and assessed at least annually so that they remain relevant and up to date with market developments. Additional hypothetical scenarios are also conducted on a sub-portfolio basis to assess the impact of any relevant idiosyncratic stress events as needed.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a counterparty's credit worthiness or its ability or willingness to meet its financial obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of a financial contract.

We are exposed to credit risk as a trading counterparty to other broker-dealers and customers, as a direct lender and through extending loan commitments, as a holder of securities and as a member of exchanges and clearing organizations. Credit exposure exists across a wide-range of products, including cash and cash equivalents, loans, securities finance transactions and over-the-counter derivative contracts. The main sources of our credit risk are:

•Loans and lending arising in connection with our investment banking and capital markets activities, which reflects our exposure at risk on a default event with no recovery of loans. Current exposure represents loans that have been drawn by the borrower and lending commitments that are outstanding. In addition, credit exposures on forward settling traded loans are included within our

~~104~~91

loans and lending exposures for consistency with the balance sheet categorization of these items. Loans and lending also arise in connection with our portion of Jefferies Group's Secured Revolving Credit Facility that is with Jefferies Group and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, to be funded equally, to support loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance. See Note 8 for additional information on this facility. In addition, Jefferies Group has loans outstanding to certain of its officers and employees (none of whom are executive officers or directors). See Note 2221 for additional information on these employee loans.

•Securities and margin financing transactions, which reflect our credit exposure arising from reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements to the extent the fair value of the underlying collateral differs from the contractual agreement amount and from margin provided to customers.

•Over-the-counter derivatives, which are reported net by counterparty when a legal right of setoff exists under an enforceable master netting agreement. Over-the-counter derivative exposure is based on a contract at fair value, net of cash collateral received or posted under credit support agreements. In addition, credit exposures on forward settling trades are included within our derivative credit exposures.

•Cash and cash equivalents, which include both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits at banks.

Credit is extended to counterparties in a controlled manner and in order to generate acceptable returns, whether such credit is granted directly or is incidental to a transaction. All extensions of credit are monitored and managed as a whole to limit exposure to loss related to credit risk. Credit risk is managed according to the Credit Risk Policy, which sets out the process for identifying counterparty credit risk, establishing counterparty limits, and managing and monitoring credit limits. The policy includes our approach for:

•Client on-boarding and approving counterparty credit limits;

•Negotiating, approving and monitoring credit terms in legal and master documentation;

•Determining the analytical standards and risk parameters for ongoing management and monitoring credit risk books;

•Actively managing daily exposure, exceptions and breaches; and

•Monitoring daily margin call activity and counterparty performance.

Counterparty credit exposure limits are granted within our credit ratings framework, as detailed in the Credit Risk Policy. Jefferies Group's Credit Risk Department assesses counterparty credit risk and sets credit limits at the counterparty master agreement level. Limits must be approved by appropriate credit officers and initiated in our credit and trading systems before trading commences. All credit exposures are reviewed against approved limits on a daily basis.

Jefferies Group's Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which supports loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance, is governed under separate policies other than the Credit Risk Policy and is approved by Jefferies Group's Board of Directors. The loans outstanding to certain of Jefferies Group's officers and employees are extended pursuant to a review by its most senior management.

Current counterparty credit exposures are summarized in the tables below and provided by credit quality, region and industry. Credit exposures presented take netting and collateral into consideration by counterparty and master agreement. Collateral taken into consideration includes both collateral received as cash as well as collateral received in the form of securities or other arrangements. Current exposure is the loss that would be incurred on a particular set of positions in the event of default by the counterparty, assuming no recovery. Current exposure equals the fair value of the positions less collateral. Issuer risk is the credit risk arising from inventory positions (for example, corporate debt securities and secondary bank loans). Issuer risk is included in our country risk exposure tables below.

The amounts in the tables below are for amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at ~~August 31, 2020~~February 28, 2021 and November 30, ~~2019~~2020 (in millions).

Country Risk Exposure

Country risk is the risk that events or developments that occur in the general environment of a country or countries due to economic, political, social, regulatory, legal or other factors, will affect the ability of obligors of the country to honor their obligations. We define the country of risk as the country of jurisdiction or domicile of the obligor, and monitor country risk resulting from both trading positions and counterparty exposure, which may not include the offsetting benefit of any financial instruments utilized to manage market risk.

The following tables reflect our top exposure to the sovereign governments, corporations and financial institutions in those non-U.S. countries in which we have a net long issuer and counterparty exposure, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (in millions):

At ~~August 31, 2020,~~February 28, 2021, we have no material exposure to countries where either sovereign or non-sovereign sectors pose potential default risk as the result of liquidity concerns.

Operational Risk

Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from operations, including, but not limited to, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our operating systems, business disruptions and inadequacies or breaches in internal control processes. Our businesses are highly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions across numerous and diverse markets in many currencies. In addition, the transactions we process have become increasingly complex. If our financial, accounting or other data processing systems do not operate properly or are disabled or if there are other shortcomings or failures in our internal processes, people or systems, we could suffer an impairment to our liquidity, financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.

These systems may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, including a disruption of electrical or communications services or the inability to occupy one or more of our buildings. The inability of our systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions could also constrain our ability to expand our businesses.

We also face the risk of operational failure or termination of any of the clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries we use to facilitate our securities transactions. Any such failure or termination could adversely affect our ability to effect transactions and manage exposure to risk. In addition, despite the contingency plans we have in place, our ability to conduct business may be adversely impacted by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our businesses and the communities in which they are located. This may include a disruption involving electrical, communications, transportation or other services used by us or ~~third parties~~third-parties with which we conduct business.

Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code, and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could jeopardize our or our clients' or counterparties' confidential and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our, our clients', our counterparties' or ~~third parties'~~third-parties' operations. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance maintained by us.

Our Operational Risk framework includes governance, collection of operational risk incidents, proactive operational risk management, and periodic review and analysis of business metrics to identify and recommend controls and process-related enhancements. Each revenue producing and support department is responsible for the management and reporting of operational risks and the implementation of the Operational Risk policy and processes within the department. Operational Risk policy, framework, infrastructure, methodology, processes, guidance and oversight of the operational risk processes are centralized and consistent firm wide and also subject to regional operational risk governance.

~~107~~94

Our leadership is continuously monitoring circumstances around COVID-19, as well as economic and capital market conditions, and providing frequent communications to both our clients and our employees. We have adopted enhanced cleaning practices across our offices, have restricted business travel, and have monitored the health and welfare of our employees and worked actively with many individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. We ~~implemented~~continue to execute our Business Continuity Planning plan and ~~have~~maintain a largely ~~moved to a~~ remote working environment across all functions without any significant disruptions to our business or control processes. Additionally, we are working continuously with all of our critical vendors regarding their own pandemic responses to ensure there is minimal impact on our business operations.

Model Risk

Model risk refers to the risk of losses resulting from decisions that are based on the output of models, due to errors or weaknesses in the design and development, implementation, or improper use of models. We use quantitative models primarily to value certain financial assets and liabilities and to monitor and manage our risk. Model risk is a function of the model materiality, frequency of use, complexity and uncertainty around inputs and assumptions used in a given model. Robust model risk management is a core part of our risk management approach and is overseen through our risk governance structure and risk management controls.

Legal and Compliance Risk

Legal and compliance risk includes the risk of noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are subject to extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. We have various procedures addressing issues such as regulatory capital requirements, sales and trading practices, use of and safekeeping of customer funds, credit granting, collection activities, anti-money laundering and record keeping. These risks also reflect the potential impact that changes in local and international laws and tax statutes have on the economics and viability of current or future transactions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, we continuously review new and pending regulations and legislation and participate in various industry interest groups. We also maintain an anonymous hotline for employees or others to report suspected inappropriate actions by us or by our employees or agents.

New Business Risk

New business risk refers to the risks of entering into a new line of business or offering a new product. By entering a new line of business or offering a new product, we may face risks that we are unaccustomed to dealing with and may increase the magnitude of the risks we currently face. The New Business Committee reviews proposals for new businesses and new products to determine if we are prepared to handle the additional or increased risks associated with entering into such activities.

Reputational Risk

We recognize that maintaining our reputation among clients, investors, regulators and the general public is an important aspect of minimizing legal and operational risks. Maintaining our reputation depends on a large number of factors, including the selection of our clients and the conduct of our business activities. We seek to maintain our reputation by screening potential clients and by conducting our business activities in accordance with high ethical standards. Our reputation and business activity can be affected by statements and actions of ~~third parties,~~third-parties, even false or misleading statements by them. We actively monitor public comment concerning us and are vigilant in seeking to assure accurate information and perception prevails.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information set forth in response to this Item 1 is incorporated by reference from the "Contingencies" section in Note ~~19,~~18, Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees, in the Notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~The effects~~Information regarding our risk factors appears in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. These risk factors describe some of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have negatively affected the global economy, the United States economy and the global financial markets, and may disrupt our operations and our clients' operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The United States now has the world's most reported COVID-19 cases, and all 50 states and the District of Columbia have reported cases of infected individuals. Several states, including New York, where we are headquartered, have declared states of emergency. Similar impacts have been experienced in every country in which we do business. Impacts to our business could be widespread and global, and material impacts may be possible, including the following:

•~~Employees contracting COVID-19~~

•~~Reductions in our operating effectiveness as our employees work from home or disaster-recovery locations~~

•~~Unavailability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business activities~~

•~~Unprecedented volatility in global financial markets~~

•~~Reductions in revenue across our operating businesses~~

•~~Delay in planned entry into, or expansion of, investments or projects in China and surrounding areas~~

•~~Closure of our offices or the offices of our clients~~

•~~De-globalization~~

We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and customers. However, no assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be deemed to be adequate or appropriate, nor can we predict the level of disruption which will occur to our employee's ability to provide customer support and service.

Although the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in meaningfully lower stock prices for many companies, as well as the trading prices for our own securities, the markets have not only stabilized but returned to near pre-COVID-19 levels. However, the further spread of the COVID-19 outbreak may materially negatively impact stockassumptions, risks, uncertainties and other securities prices and materially disrupt banking and other financial activity generally and in the areas in which we operate. This would likely result in a decline in demand for our products and services, which would negatively impact our liquidity position and our growth strategy. Any one or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our and our consolidated subsidiaries' business, operations, consolidated financial condition, and consolidated results of operations.

~~We may incur losses as a result of unforeseen or catastrophic events, including the emergence of a pandemic, terrorist attacks, extreme weather events or other natural disasters.~~ The occurrence of unforeseen or catastrophic events, including the emergence of a pandemic, such as COVID-19, or other widespread health emergency (or concerns over the possibility of such an emergency), terrorist attacks, extreme terrestrial or solar weather events or other natural disasters, could create economic and financial disruptions, and could lead to operational difficulties (including travel limitations)factors that could ~~impair our ability to manage our businesses.~~

~~Abrupt changes in market and general economic conditions have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future~~ adversely affect our business ~~and profitability and cause volatility~~or that could otherwise result in changes that differ materially from our ~~results of operations.~~ Economic and market conditions have had, and will continue to have, a direct and material impact on our results of operations and financial condition because performance in the financial services industry is heavily influenced by the overall strength of general economic conditions and financial market activity.expectations.

Our investment banking revenue, in the form of advisory services and underwriting, is directly related to general economic conditions and corresponding financial market activity. When the outlook for such economic conditions is uncertain or negative, financial market activity generally tends to decrease, which reduces our investment banking revenues. Reduced expectations of United States economic growth or a

~~109~~

~~decline in the global economic outlook could cause financial market activity to decrease and negatively affect our investment banking revenues.~~

A sustained and continuing market downturn could lead to or exacerbate declines in the number of securities transactions executed for customers and, therefore, to a decline in the revenues we receive from commissions and spreads. Correspondingly, a reduction of prices of the securities we hold in inventory or as investments would lead to reduced revenues.

Revenues from our asset management businesses have been and may continue to be negatively impacted by declining securities prices, as well as widely fluctuating securities prices. Because our asset management businesses hold long and short positions in equity and debt securities, changes in the prices of these securities, as well as any decrease in the liquidity of these securities, may materially and adversely affect our revenues from asset management.

Similarly, our merchant banking businesses may suffer from the above-mentioned impacts of COVID-19 including employee and customer illnesses and quarantines, cancellations of events and travel, reductions in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. As an example, an overall reduction in business activity has led to a decrease in global demand for oil and natural gas thereby causing lower prices for these commodities. Such dramatic price decreases may have a material adverse effect on our investments in Vitesse Energy Finance and JETX Energy.

In addition, global economic conditions and global financial markets remain vulnerable to the potential risks posed by certain events, which could include, among other things, political and financial uncertainty in the United States and the European Union, renewed concern about China's economy, complications involving terrorism and armed conflicts around the world, or other challenges to global trade or travel, such as might occur in the event of a wider pandemic involving COVID-19. More generally, because our business is closely correlated to the general economic outlook, a significant deterioration in that outlook or realization of certain events would likely have an immediate and significant negative impact on our business and overall results of operations.
