This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on April 30, 2008 (the “Original Schedule”) by the Leucadia National Corporation (“Leucadia”) and certain subsidiaries thereof, which was subsequently amended (the Original Schedule as amended, is referred to as the “Schedule 13D”) and is filed by and on behalf of the Reporting Persons defined herein with respect to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Jefferies Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jefferies”).  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
 
ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
 
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
 
Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein.                                                                           
 
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On November 11, 2012, Leucadia and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Limestone Merger Sub, LLC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Jefferies and its subsidiaries, JSP Holdings, Inc., and Jasper Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Jefferies will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leucadia (the “Merger”).
 
At the effective time of the Merger, each former Jefferies share of Common Stock (excluding Jefferies shares held by Leucadia), will be converted into the right to receive 0.81 of a Leucadia common share (the “Exchange Ratio”).  The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market value of the Common Stock or the Leucadia common shares.
 
 
Leucadia will not assume or guarantee any of Jefferies’ outstanding debt securities, but Jefferies’ 3.875% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029 will become convertible into common shares of Leucadia following the Merger, giving effect to the Exchange Ratio.  Additionally, if not redeemed by Jefferies prior to the effective time of the Merger, Jefferies’ 3.25% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock will be exchanged for a comparable series of convertible preferred shares of Leucadia.
 
In connection with the Merger, each outstanding stock option to purchase shares of Common Stock, each restricted share of Common Stock and each performance based restricted stock unit of Jefferies Common Stock will at the effective time of the Merger, be converted at the Exchange Ratio into an award of options, restricted shares or restricted stock units of Leucadia, with all such awards subject to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, vesting and, in the case of performance-based restricted stock units, performance being measured at current targets.
 
The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: approval by the Leucadia shareholders  (by the vote of a majority of the shares cast, assuming a majority of shares outstanding are voted) and by the Jefferies stockholders (by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares) and the receipt of opinions that the Merger will qualify for federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The completion of the Merger is not conditioned on receipt of financing by Leucadia.
 
The Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.
 
 
Voting Agreements
 
 
Simultaneously with execution of the Merger Agreement, at the request of Jefferies, Leucadia, and Leucadia’s wholly owned subsidiary, BEI Jeffvest LLC, entered into a Voting Agreement dated November 11, 2012 pursuant
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CUSIP No. 472319102
13D
Page 7
 

 
to which Leucadia agreed to vote, and to cause its subsidiary to vote, the approximately 28.6% of the outstanding Jefferies Common Stock that they own in favor of the Merger (the “Leucadia Voting Agreement”).
 
Jefferies also entered into a separate voting agreements with each of (i) Ian M. Cumming, (with respect to 8.64% of the Leucadia’s outstanding common shares) and Joseph S. Steinberg (with respect to 9.63% of the Leucadia’s outstanding common shares) pursuant to which, on a several basis, each has agreed to vote such Leucadia common shares in favor of the Merger (such voting agreements, the “Executive’s Voting Agreements”) and (ii) Richard B. Handler, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Jefferies, and Brian P. Friedman, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Jefferies (the “Jefferies Voting Agreements”) pursuant to which, on a several basis, each has agreed to vote his Jefferies shares in favor of the Merger.
 
The Leucadia Voting Agreement, the Executive’s Voting Agreements and the Jefferies Voting Agreements (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) will each terminate upon the earliest of (i) the date on which the Merger becomes effective, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties to the Voting Agreement.
 
The foregoing summary of the Leucadia Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Exhibit 99.2.
 
 
For additional information concerning the Merger, see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Leucadia on November 13, 2012.
