Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plan
On January 29, 2013, Jefferies Group, Inc. (the "Company") received notice of a
forthcoming blackout period (the "Blackout Period") for the Jefferies Group,
Inc. Employees' Profit Sharing Plan ("Profit Sharing Plan") and the Jefferies
Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("Stock Ownership Plan" and, together
with the Profit Sharing Plan, the "Plans") in accordance with
Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended. During the Blackout Period, participants in the Plans will be unable to
direct or diversify amounts invested in individual accounts, obtain a loan from
the applicable Plan or obtain a distribution from the applicable Plan. The
Blackout Period is required by the Plans' recordkeeper, Fidelity Investments, in
connection with the previously announced proposed merger of the Company and
Leucadia National Corporation ("Leucadia"). The Blackout Period will permit the
conversion of the shares of the Company's common stock held by the Plans into
shares of Leucadia, which will be the parent entity of the combined company
following the closing of the merger. The Blackout Period is currently expected
to begin during the calendar week beginning February 24, 2013 and end during the
calendar week beginning March 3, 2013. However, the timing of the Blackout
Period is dependent on the timing of the merger closing and is therefore subject
to change.
The Company notified its directors and executive officers of the Blackout
Period, and the corresponding suspension of insider trading pursuant to
Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, during the Blackout Period, on
January 30, 2013. During the Blackout Period, directors and executive officers
will be precluded from, directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling, or
otherwise acquiring or transferring any common stock of the Company or other
equity securities (or related securities) of the Company except as otherwise
permitted by Regulation BTR. A copy of the notice provided to the Company's
directors and executive officers is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated by reference herein.
During the blackout period and for two years after the date thereof, the Company's security holders and other interested persons may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting Michael J. Sharp, the Company's Secretary, 520 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10022 (telephone (212-284-2300).
(d) Exhibits. The following exhibit is being filed herewith:
