Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On April 9, 2015, Jefferies Group LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Société Générale S.A. to
transfer certain client exchange and over-the-counter transactions associated with Jefferies futures business for the net book value of the over-the-counter transactions, calculated in accordance with certain principles set forth in the
agreement, plus the repayment of certain margin loans in respect of certain exchange transactions. In addition, Jefferies agreed to enter into a total return swap with respect to other over-the-counter transactions which will not be transferred,
which is intended to replicate the economics of such non-transferred over-the-counter transactions. The transfer is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature. Jefferies anticipates that the completion of this
transaction will occur during its second quarter of 2015. Jefferies is not able to estimate, at this time, the total assets and liabilities that will be transferred as such amounts will fluctuate based on daily client activity through the date of
closing.
In addition, Jefferies expects to terminate its $750.0 million credit facility shortly after the closing of the above transaction. Upon
termination of the credit facility, unamortized deferred origination costs of $5.4 million will be expensed.
Concurrently, Jefferies initiated a plan to
exit the remaining aspects of its existing futures business and to terminate the remaining client agreements with respect to exchange transactions. Jefferies estimates that it will incur the pre-tax costs set forth below that aggregate approximately
$91.2 million in connection with this plan, primarily over the remainder of its 2015 fiscal year. Jefferies expects the effect of these costs to be approximately $65.8 million on an after-tax basis. Of the total estimated costs, approximately
$23.0 million are of a non-cash nature and approximately $68.2 million will result in future cash expenditures.

All of the above costs will be incurred by us upon consolidation of our financial statements. All of the above costs

and the effect of such costs are estimates only and are subject to change. These estimates, as well as other statements contained herein constitute forward looking statements within
