Acquisitions
Jefferies became a wholly-owned subsidiary on March 1, 2013.  Each share of Jefferies common stock was converted at the Exchange Ratio into our common shares, an aggregate of approximately 119,363,000 common shares, and we issued a new series of our 3.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares ($125.0 million at mandatory redemption value) in exchange for Jefferies outstanding 3.25% Series A-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.  In addition, each restricted share of Jefferies common stock and each RSU of Jefferies common stock was converted at the Exchange Ratio into an award of restricted shares or RSUs of Leucadia, with all such awards subject to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, vesting and, in the case of performance-based RSUs, performance being measured at existing targets.  We did not assume or guarantee any of Jefferies outstanding debt securities, but Jefferies 3.875% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2029 ($345.0 million principal amount outstanding) became convertible into our common shares.  As specified in the indenture governing such debentures, the debentures are not currently convertible; if the debentures were currently convertible, the conversion price would be $44.53 per common share.
The Jefferies acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.  The aggregate purchase price ($4,770.6 million) equaled the sum of the fair value of our common shares issued at closing, the fair value of employee stock based awards attributable to periods prior to closing, the fair value of the Jefferies common stock owned by us ($1.3 billion) and the redemption value of the new series of preferred shares issued at closing, which represents its fair value.  The fair values of the Jefferies common stock owned by us and the common shares and employee stock based awards issued were determined by using market prices at closing.  Including our investment in Jefferies High Yield Holdings, LLC (“JHYH”), which was contributed to Jefferies capital after the acquisition, our aggregate investment in Jefferies is $5.5 billion at December 31, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we expensed costs related to the acquisition of Jefferies of $18.5 million.

Pro forma adjustments for Jefferies principally reflect an increase to amortization expenses related to the fair value of amortizable intangible assets, a reduction to interest expense for the amortization of the premium recorded to reflect long-term debt at fair value and to reflect the costs related to the acquisition as if they had occurred in the period beginning January 1, 2012.  In addition, the pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination from Net revenues amounts recognized from the application of the fair value option to our investment in Jefferies for periods prior to March 1, 2013, as more fully described in Note 5.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, pro forma adjustments include the removal of the deferred tax liability reversal related to our investment in Jefferies for periods prior to March 1, 2013 ($34.0 million).  The unaudited pro forma data is not indicative of future results of operations or what would have resulted if the acquisitions had actually occurred as of January 1, 2012.
