Transaction Summary
Monthly interest on the FRNs will be paid with funds the borrower receives from JFLLC under the MRA. JFLLC will also repurchase the assets at the value at which they were sold to the borrower, and the proceeds will be used by the borrower to make principal payments to the lender.
Jefferies has provided a full and unconditional guarantee of JFLLC's payment obligations to the trust under the repurchase agreement. The FRNs are secured by the repurchase agreement collateral and the rights under the repurchase agreement. The trust's payment obligations on the FRNs are not directly guaranteed by Jefferies.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Credit Quality: Payment of the FRNs is supported by the guaranty from Jefferies in favor of the issuer. Jefferies, the sole risk-presenting entity, guarantees the obligations of JFLLC's obligations under the repurchase agreement. Jefferies's commitment under the guaranty ranks pari passu with all of its senior unsecured debt. This constitutes a pass-through rating of Jefferies's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR).
Number of Risk Contributors: Jefferies is the sole risk contributor to this transaction.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative Rating Action/Downgrade
Direct Linkage to Risk-Presenting Entity: A change in Jefferies' Long-Term IDR will result in a corresponding change in the ratings assigned to the FRNs based on Fitch's Single- and Multi-Name Credit-Linked Notes Rating Criteria.
A downgrade of Jefferies' Long-Term IDR of one notch would result in a downgrade of the FRNs to 'BBBsf';
A downgrade of Jefferies' Long-Term IDR of two notches would result in a downgrade of the FRNs to 'BBB-sf'.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive Rating Action/Upgrade
Direct Linkage to Risk-Presenting Entity: A change in Jefferies' Long-Term IDR will result in a corresponding change in the ratings assigned to the FRNs based on Fitch's Single- and Multi-Name Credit-Linked Notes Rating Criteria.
An upgrade of Jefferies' Long-Term IDR of one notch would result in an upgrade of the FRNs to 'A-sf';
An upgrade of Jefferies' Long-Term IDR of two notches would result in an upgrade of the FRNs to 'Asf'.

The principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.
PUBLIC RATINGS WITH CREDIT LINKAGE TO OTHER RATINGS
The FRN's rating is linked to Jefferies' Long-Term IDR, based on the credit support it provides under the guaranty. A change to the Long-Term IDR would automatically result in a change in the related FRNs' rating. Any changes to Fitch's view of any MRA, contract of guaranty or deterioration of the counterparties' credit quality may result in downgrades of the FRNs.
