Leucadia National Corporation Overview Our Business: Since the Leucadia-Jefferies combination in March 2013, Leucadia has transitioned to a diversified financial services company led by Jefferies. This transition included, among other things, shedding non-core assets and the sale of KCG, Conwed, Garcadia and 48% of National Beef. We are rebranding to Jefferies Financial Group Inc. pending shareholder approval. Our Strategy: To drive long-term shareholder value by operating a diversified financial services company engaged in investment banking and capital markets, merchant banking and the early stages of building an alternative asset management platform. Our Competitive Advantage: Our expertise, reputation, relationships and capital strength position us to “be the first call” when there is an urgent or complex business problem that requires a creative solution, as well as the ideal partner for truly long-term business development.

Leucadia’s Compensation Plan was Formulated to Drive Long-Term Performance 148 182 210 140 176 140 214 236 255 140 176 140 173 160 122 210 222 202 125 125 125 As part of the Board’s efforts to transform the business, the 2016 and 2017 CEO and President LTIP plan focuses exclusively on long-term equity awards that require direct performance over a three-year period to earn the awards plus an additional three-year holding period both to further incentivize performance and to provide long-term alignment with shareholders No annual incentive opportunity provided to ensure transition decisions are made to maximize long-term performance The Board’s efforts are beginning to bear fruit as performance over the past two years has improved significantly Progress reflected in stock price with 35.5% TSR in 2016 and 15.4% TSR in 2017 Achieved 2017 double digit ROTDE gain of 10.7% Improved performance trends are continuing into 2018. Agreements to sell Garcadia and a portion of National Beef have Completed Leucadia’s transition to a diversified financial services company Resulted in strong returns on tangible deployable equity LTIP is earned over a three-year period Earned awards will not be available for sale for an additional three years after vesting 2016 and 2017 Weight Metric 50% LUK TSR 50% LUK Return on Tangible Deployable Equity (ROTDE) No Short-Term Incentive Shifted compensation to long-term plan with three-year measurement period and long-term holding period Long-Term 2013 - 2015 Weight Metric Based on Jefferies’ Legacy 2013 – 2015 LTIP Plan (approved in September 2012) Annual 25%-50% 75%-50% LUK Operating Metrics JEF Operating Metrics

SLIDE 11

Six-Year LTIP is Truly Earned Based on Long-Term Performance 148 182 210 The nature of our CEO and President’s roles include leading and making active investments that are opportunistic in nature where timing of impact is often unclear Therefore, the compensation program is designed to incentivize sustainable long-term growth; LTIP has a three-year performance period plus an additional three-year holding period Under the LTIP, a portion of performance awards can be banked for later vesting if annual performance exceeds performance thresholds; however, banked shares do not vest until the end of the three-year measurement period and must be held for an additional three years and, therefore, our executives could lose all compensation value based on Company performance The goal of the plan is to build and sustain long-term growth in ROTDE and TSR over six-year period The plan incentivizes the CEO and President to make optimal, long-term investment decisions at any given time without negatively impacting compensation based on short-term volatility as compensation is earned based on future company performance Three-year holding period aligns long-term value creation beyond performance period and puts banked awards, if any, at risk Performance Period Holding Period Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 ROTDE annual growth rate / compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 8% 16.6% (8% CAGR) 16.6% growth rate or 8% two-year CAGR must be achieved to earn targeted award 26% (8% CAGR) 26.0% growth rate or 8% three-year CAGR must be achieved to earn targeted award After vesting, there is an additional three-year holding period during which the value of the executive compensation is contingent on Company performance


SLIDE 12

2016 and 2017 Banked Awards Under Our Program 148 182 210 Plan clearly aligns executive compensation with the interests of our long-term shareholders Only cash compensation CEO and President earned for each of 2016 and 2017 performance period was $1 million salary Under the plan, portions of the overall long-term awards may be banked each year based upon that year’s TSR and ROTDE growth 2016 Performance: Each executive was not eligible to bank any performance awards as a result of ROTDE performance; however, they were eligible to bank performance awards due to superior TSR performance 2017 Performance: Each executive was eligible to bank performance awards due to superior TSR and ROTDE performance Banked shares are required to be held for an additional three years after vesting; therefore, executive compensation remains completely at-risk since value is contingent on Leucadia business performance and share price performance 50% ROTDE Metric 50% TSR 8.0% 3-Year Compound Growth Rate Target 8.0% 3-Year Compound Growth Rate 10.7% 2017 Actual 15.4% 2017 Long-Term Incentive Performance Metrics Banked Shares Resulting from Performance 239,813 268,817 2017 50% ROTDE Metric Banked Shares Resulting from Performance 0 50% TSR 8.0% 3-Year Compound Growth Rate Target 8.0% 3-Year Compound Growth Rate 35.5% 2016 Actual 2.7% (below threshold) 2016 Long-Term Incentive Performance Results Over 2-Years 423,441 2016 2017 456,137 (below target) 423,441 10.7% / 6.5% (below target) 2017 Actual / 2-year CAGR 15.4% / 25.1% Banked awards not available for sale until 2022 Banked awards not available for sale until 2023
