SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 1, 2004 PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 (TO PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 31, 2004) LEUCADIA NATIONAL CORPORATION [LEUCADIA LOGO] $350,000,000 3 3/4% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2014 ------------------- This prospectus supplement updates the prospectus dated August 31, 2004, which prospectus is included in our filing pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2004. You should read this prospectus supplement together with the prospectus and this prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus. This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including all amendments and supplements thereto. The terms of the convertible debentures are set forth in the prospectus. The prospectus relates to our $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3 3/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, which we previously sold in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus also relates to 5,079,830 common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes held by selling securityholders, plus such additional indeterminate number of shares as may become issuable upon conversion of the notes by reason of adjustment to the conversion price in certain circumstances. ------------------- INVESTING IN THE NOTES OR OUR COMMON SHARES INVOLVES RISKS. SEE 'RISK FACTORS' BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF THE PROSPECTUS. ------------------- NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. ------------------- THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS , 2004 The information appearing under the section entitled 'Selling Security Holders' in the prospectus is amended and restated by the information appearing below: SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS We originally sold the notes to Jefferies & Company, Inc. (which we refer to as the initial purchaser in this prospectus) in a private placement in April 2004. The notes were immediately resold by the initial purchaser in transactions exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Selling security holders, which term includes their transferees, pledgees, donees or their successors, may from time to time offer and sell the notes and the common shares into which the notes are convertible pursuant to this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. The following table sets forth certain information concerning the principal amount of notes beneficially owned and the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of those notes that may be offered from time to time under this prospectus by the selling holders named in the table. We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us by the selling security holders named in the table and we have not sought to verify such information. This table only reflects information regarding selling security holders who have provided us with such information. We expect that we will update this table as we receive more information from holders of the notes who have not yet provided us with their information. Any such updating will be effected through an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and not by means of a prospectus supplement, unless otherwise permited by the SEC. The number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes shown in the table below assumes conversion of the full amount of notes held by each selling security holder at an initial conversion rate of 14.5138 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the number of conversion shares may increase or decrease from time to time. Because the selling security holders may offer all or some portion of the notes or the common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes pursuant to this prospectus, we have assumed for purposes of the table below that the selling security holders will sell all of the notes and all of the common shares offered by this prospectus pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling security holders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their notes in transactions exempt form the registration requirements of the Securities Act since the date on which they provided the information to us regarding their holdings. As of September 30, 2004, we had $350,000,000 in principal amount of the notes and 71,473,102 common shares outstanding. Based on information provided by the selling security holders, none of the selling security holders has held any position or office or has had any material relationship with us within the past three years except as described below: PRINCIPAL COMMON AMOUNT SHARES OF NOTES BENEFICIALLY CONVERSION BENEFICIALLY PERCENTAGE OWNED COMMON OWNED AND OF NOTES BEFORE THE SHARES NAME OFFERED OUTSTANDING OFFERING(1) OFFERED(2) ---- ------- ----------- ----------- ---------- GLG Market Neutral Fund...................... $36,000,000 10.29% -- 522,496 UBS AG London -- f/b/o HFS................... 15,000,000 4.28% -- 217,707 CALAMOS Convertible Fund-CALAMOS'r' Investment Trust........................... 14,000,000 4.00% -- 203,193 Whitebox Convertible Arbitrage Partners, LP......................................... 13,000,000 3.71% -- 188,679 Sunrise Partners Limited Partnership......... 12,450,000 3.56% -- 180,696 The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company -- General Account(3).............. 9,200,000 2.63% -- 133,526 Nomura Securities International Inc.......... 9,000,000 2.57% 68,900 130,624 Franklin Convertible Securities Fund......... 7,500,000 2.14% -- 108,853 FrontPoint Convertible Arbitrage Fund, L.P........................................ 7,500,000 2.14% -- 108,853 AG Offshore Convertibles, Ltd................ 7,490,000 2.14% -- 108,708 Aristeia International Limited............... 7,055,000 2.01% -- 102,394 Whitebox Diversified Convertible Arbitrage Partners LP................................ 6,600,000 1.89% -- 95,791 (table continued on next page) 1 (table continued from previous page) PRINCIPAL COMMON AMOUNT SHARES OF NOTES BENEFICIALLY CONVERSION BENEFICIALLY PERCENTAGE OWNED COMMON OWNED AND OF NOTES BEFORE THE SHARES NAME OFFERED OUTSTANDING OFFERING(1) OFFERED(2) ---- ------- ----------- ----------- ---------- Sagamore Hill Hub Fund, Ltd.................. $ 6,500,000 1.86% -- 94,339 Lakeshore International, Ltd................. 6,000,000 1.71% -- 87,082 Nations Convertible Securities Fund.......... 5,975,000 1.71% -- 86,719 Beamtenversicherungskasse des Kantons Zuerich.................................... 5,000,000 1.43% -- 72,569 Royal Bank of Canada......................... 5,000,000 1.43% 15,106 72,569 Tribeca Investments L.T.D.................... 5,000,000 1.43% -- 72,569 State of Oregon/SAIF Corporation............. 4,950,000 1.41% -- 71,843 Context Convertible Arbitrage Offshore, Ltd........................................ 4,850,000 1.39% -- 70,391 Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.................................... 4,800,000 1.37% -- 69,666 State of Oregon/Equity....................... 4,560,000 1.30% -- 66,182 Nuveen Preferred & Convertible Fund JQC...... 4,075,000 1.16% -- 59,143 Argent Classic Convertible Arbitrage (Bermuda) Fund Ltd......................... 4,000,000 1.14% -- 58,055 Privilege Portfolio SICAV.................... 4,000,000 1.14% -- 58,055 Putnam Convertible Income-Growth Trust....... 4,000,000 1.14% -- 58,055 UBS O'Connor LLC f/b/o O'Connor Global Convertible Arbitrage Master Ltd........... 4,000,000 1.14% -- 58,055 Mariner LDC.................................. 3,500,000 1.00% -- 50,798 Maystone Continuum Master Fund, Ltd.......... 3,500,000 1.00% -- 50,798 Boilermaker-Blacksmith Pension Trust......... 3,300,000 * -- 47,895 AG Domestic Convertibles, L.P................ 3,210,000 * -- 46,589 Nuveen Preferred & Convertible Income Fund JPC........................................ 3,100,000 * -- 44,992 Argent LowLev Convertible Arbitrage Fund Ltd........................................ 3,000,000 * -- 43,541 Global Bermuda Limited Partnership........... 3,000,000 * -- 43,541 Mill River Master Fund, L.P.................. 3,000,000 * -- 43,541 Deutsche Bank Securities Inc................. 2,968,000 * -- 43,076 The Dow Chemical Company Employees' Retirement Plan............................ 2,600,000 * -- 37,735 Citigroup Global Markets Inc................. 2,555,000 * -- 37,082 MLQA Convertible Securities Arbitrage Ltd.... 2,500,000 * -- 36,284 Plexus Fund Ltd.............................. 2,500,000 * -- 36,284 C.M.

(6) Northwestern Investment Management Company, LLC, a wholly owned company of the selling security holder, is the investment advisor for the selling security holder for its Group Annuity Separate Account with respect to these securities.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The registrant is a New York corporation. Sections 722 through 725 of the New York Business Corporation Law (the 'Business Corporation Law') provide that a corporation may indemnify, with certain limitations and exceptions, a director or officer as follows: (1) in a derivative action, against his reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees but excluding certain settlement costs, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense thereof, or an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in (or in the case of service for another corporation, not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation; and (2) in a civil or criminal non-derivative action or proceeding including a derivative action by another corporation, partnership or other enterprise in which any director or officer of the indemnifying corporation served in any capacity at the indemnifying corporation's request, against judgments, fines, settlement payments and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred as a result thereof, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in (or, in the case of service for any other corporation, not opposed to) the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions and proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is a matter of right where the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise, and otherwise may be granted upon corporate authorization or court award as provided in the statute. Section 721 of the Business Corporation Law provides that indemnification arrangements can be established for directors and officers, by contrast, by-law, charter provision, action of shareholders or board of directors, on terms other than those specifically provided by Article 7 of the Business Corporation Law, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Article V of the Company's By-Laws provides for the indemnification, to the full extent authorized by law, of any person made or threatened to be made a party in any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Company. Section 726 of the Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may obtain insurance to indemnify itself and its directors and officers. The Company maintains an insurance policy providing both directors and officers liability coverage and corporate reimbursement coverage. Article Sixth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a charter provision eliminating or limiting director liability for monetary damages arising from breaches of fiduciary duty, subject only to certain limitations imposed by statute.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 'Calculation of Registration Fee' table in the effective registration statement; c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; II-2 provided, however, that clauses (a) and (b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by such clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by each registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: 1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; 2. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ('Act') in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
