Convertible debt (7)   -  
Common Shares for Diluted EPS 222,162
(1) Shares outstanding represents shares issued less shares repurchased in treasury stock. Shares issued includes public and private offerings, earned and unearned restricted stock, distributions related to restricted stock units, deferred compensation plans, employee stock purchase plan and stock option exercises. Shares issued does not include undistributed earned and unearned restricted stock units.
 
(2) As certain restricted stock is contingent upon a future service condition, unearned shares are removed from shares outstanding in the calculation of basic EPS as Jefferies' obligation to issue these shares remains contingent.
 
(3) As earned restricted stock units are no longer contingent upon a future service condition and are issuable upon a certain date in the future, earned restricted stock units are added to shares outstanding in the calculation of basic EPS.
 
(4) Other shares issuable include shares issuable to settle previously granted restricted stock awards and shares issuable under certain deferred compensation plans.
 
(5) Calculated under the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes the issuance of only a net incremental number of shares as proceeds from issuance are assumed to be used to repurchase shares at the average stock price for the period.
 
(6) Calculated under the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes the conversion of convertible securities at the beginning of the period.
 
(7) Represents the potential common shares issuable under the conversion spread (the excess conversion value over the accreted debt value) based on the average stock price for the period.

(A) Represents dividends declared during the period on participating securities plus an allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. Participating securities represent restricted stock and restricted stock units for which requisite service has not yet been rendered and amounted to weighted average shares of 14,198,000, 11,755,000, 11,239,000, 10,260,000, 9,403,000 and 8,599,000 for the three months ended February 29, 2012, November 30, 2011, August 31, 2011, May 31, 2011, February 28, 2011 and November 30, 2010, respectively. Dividends declared on participating securities during the three months ended February 29, 2012, November 30, 2011, August 31, 2011, May 31, 2011, February 28, 2011 and November 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $959,000, $959,000, $934,000, $794,000, $686,000 and $632,000, respectively. Undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities based upon their right to share in earnings if all earnings for the period had been distributed.
 
(B) The conversion of our mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock was considered anti-dilutive for our three-months ended November 30, 2011.
 
(2) This amount represents a preliminary estimate as of the date of this earnings release and may be revised in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended February 29, 2012.
 
(3) Level 3 assets represent those financial instruments classified as such under ASC 820, accounted for at fair value and included within Financial instruments owned. Level 3 assets for which we bear no economic exposure were $55.5 million at February 29, 2012, which is reflective of the portion of our Level 3 assets that are financed by nonrecourse secured financing or attributable to third party or employee noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated entities.
 
(4) Level 3 financial instruments owned with economic exposure represents Level 3 financial instruments owned adjusted for Level 3 assets that are financed by nonrecourse secured financing or attributable to third party or employee noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated entities.
 
(5) Adjusted common stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP financial measure) represents total common stockholders’ equity plus the unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share based awards, i.e. granted restricted stock and restricted stock units which contain future service requirements. As of February 29, 2012, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share based awards was $184.9 million. We believe that adjusted common stockholders’ equity is a meaningful measure as it reflects the current capital outstanding to stockholders, including employee common shareholders, that would be required to be paid out in liquidation.
 
(6) Common book value per share equals total common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding.
 
(7) Adjusted book value per share (non-GAAP financial measure) equals adjusted common stockholders’ equity divided by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted tangible book value per share (non-GAAP financial measure) equals adjusted common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets divided by adjusted common shares outstanding. As of February 29, 2012, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets equals $385.3 million. Previous quarters have been conformed to reflect this calculation. We believe these are meaningful measures as investors often incorporate the dilutive effects of outstanding capital in their valuations.
 
(8) Tangible common book value per share (non-GAAP financial measure) equals tangible common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding. As of February 29, 2012, tangible common stockholders' equity equals total common stockholders' equity of $3,287.7 million less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets of $385.3 million. We believe that tangible common book value per share and tangible common stockholders' equity is meaningful as a valuation of financial companies are often measured as a multiple of tangible common stockholders' equity making these ratios meaningful for investors.
 
(9) Total capital includes our long-term debt, mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, mandatorily redeemable preferred interest of consolidated subsidiaries and total stockholders' equity. Long-term debt included in total capitalization at February 29, 2012 is reduced by the amount of debt maturing in less than one year and revolving credit facility.
 
(10) Leverage ratio equals total assets divided by total stockholders' equity.
 
(11) Adjusted leverage ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) equals adjusted assets divided by tangible stockholders' equity. Adjusted assets (non-GAAP financial measure) equals total assets less securities borrowed, securities purchased under agreements to resell, cash and securities segregated, goodwill and identifiable intangibles plus financial instruments sold, not yet purchased (net of derivative liabilities). As of February 29, 2012, adjusted assets were $28,871.3 million. We believe that adjusted assets is a meaningful measure as it excludes certain assets that are considered of lower risk as they are generally self-financed by customer liabilities through our securities lending activities.
 
(12) VaR is the potential loss in value of our trading positions due to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon with a 95% confidence level. For a further discussion of the calculation of VaR, see "Value at Risk" in Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended November 30, 2011.
 
(13) Adjusted shares outstanding equals common shares outstanding plus outstanding restricted stock units. On November 29, 2011, we granted 6,339,000 shares of restricted stock as part of year-end compensation.
