April 13, 2026

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. ("Jefferies Financial Group" or the "Company") (JEF). Impacted investors are advised to contact the firm now.

This investigation concerns whether Jefferies Financial Group misled investors by failing to disclose substantial credit risk tied to First Brands within its Point Bonita Capital fund. According to recent SEC filings, approximately $715 million in receivables (representing nearly 25% of the fund) were tied to First Brands, a now-bankrupt auto-parts supplier. On September 15, 2025, First Brands ceased payments, and on September 29, 2025, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On October 8, 2025, Jefferies Financial Group filed a Form 8-K revealing its $715 million exposure through the Point Bonita Capital fund. Reports also emerged that the investment bank allegedly earned undisclosed fees on financing it provided to First Brands Group, in an arrangement other lenders say may have violated terms of their own credit agreement with the bankrupt car parts company.

On this news, Jefferies Financial Group's stock price fell $4.66 per share, or approximately 8%, to close at $54.44 on October 8, 2025, causing substantial harm to investors.
