NEW YORK, April 19 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings expects to assign a

‘BBB’ rating to Jefferies Group, Inc.’s (Jefferies) proposed

$200 million senior notes due 2021.

The add-on notes will be issued under Jefferies’ $550

million 6.875% senior note indenture, which has a maturity date

of April 2021. The proposed $200 million add-on issuance will

increase the notes outstanding under the indenture to $750

million. This transaction will have a minimal impact on the

company’s leverage position.
