@jlevy1967 @Jefferies Sometimes it feels like yesterday, and sometimes it feels like a nightmare that could not have truly happened.

25 Years ago as a brand new CEO at @Jefferies, I suddenly realized the privilege and responsibility of my new position. This is the first note I ever wrote to our firm: jefferies.com/handler-rich/2…

Turns out, we're not just in finance. @Jefferies is in the hospitality business. $JEF "After a recent business dinner, one of us bumped into a legendary leader in the hospitality industry who was more of an acquaintance than a longtime friend or client. He graciously offered a seat at his table for an after-dinner drink. This individual, who had famously built a truly world-class empire over decades, was familiar with Jefferies because he knew some of our clients and partners and even had a close relative who worked for Jefferies in a junior capacity. His words were simple and direct but carried so much meaning that we wanted to share them with all of you today as we start Jefferies fiscal fourth quarter." Read the full letter here bit.ly/3Sm6CgB

Nobody truly knows the reality of what is going on in somebody else’s life. This is a great reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the power of love. ❤️

At midnight on February 6th, earlier this year, the doorbell to our apartment rang. The doorbell was followed by a pounding on the door. I answered the door and a security person in our building handed me his phone. It was my oldest daughter Eloise. She had found my 26-year-old

We asked our 406 @Jefferies 2026 summer interns to write our monthly letter to set the tone for our firm. Here are the 3 winners and their note to our 6,500 Jefferies employee-partners. $JEF "Each August, our monthly letter spotlights perspectives from our global summer intern class. This tradition allows us to listen to fresh voices while also taking a moment to pause and reflect. Our interns can write about whatever they think is meaningful, whether it’s global trends, capital markets, personal growth, or their experience with Team Jefferies."

This is a very valuable moment in time and there is a LOT to do together. @jefferies $JEF "The two of us have been through more market cycles and swings in our careers than perhaps we care to admit. With this experience, we would like to share our observations about today’s market sentiment, because we find it unique and one that must be appreciated and embraced. It is possible that the current environment portends a sustainable long-term opportunity, or it could be a relatively short pre-cursor of a major market dislocation. Nobody knows for sure, but if we had to put down our wager, we believe for many reasons this is real and durable." Read the full letter here bit.ly/4eEW5Fq

The more I think about it, while @DanielSLoeb1 was opening up savings accounts, I was working on the liquidation of Drexel (1990) during the day and spending all night (for 3 months) photocopying the hundreds of binders listing all holders of the junk bonds Drexel sold. Since Drexel closed, I had to start over from scratch. We used the copied holders lists to make markets, provide research, and begin investment banking at @Jefferies. 35 unemployed Drexel people came w us to this small (but great) third market agency equity trading firm. Jefferies gave us virtually all of their risk capital ($35mm), an amount I found unfathomable that anyone would trust us with. I was 28. Met Dan a year later. Crazy.

I vividly remember you doing this and I also recall thinking, “what 20-something-year-old even thinks about doing this?” Definitely a harbinger of things to come.

In 1989~1991, I traveled the country putting deposits in mutually held S&Ls. At the time my net worth was under $10,000. I put the better part of my life savings in passbook accounts and CDs in the expectation that they would one day go public and that I would have the capital

Jefferies is not promoting any shorting activity regarding any IPO. Any suggestion to the contrary is WRONG.

Dan was not a broker then. He researched a very complex situation (unanalyzable most said) and figured out the value and how it would be realized. The smartest clients (including Farallon) listened. The rest of us were the brokers who quickly realized that unfortunately for us, Dan was destined to do his own thing very soon. Facts.

I dreamt last night that I traded $500k of a distressed bond for @DanielSLoeb1 and he caught me working for 4 points. I don’t know if I owe him $20k or if I have PTSD flashbacks from 1992.
