 perform his or her duties, we do not intend for the CEO and Chairman of the Board positions to be held by the same individual. We believe this approach is useful and appropriate for a complex and global organization such as ours, as it provides independent Board leadership and engagement while allowing our CEO to focus on his or her primary responsibility for managing the operational functions of JLL, ensuring a seamless and refined execution of strategic initiatives. The Board is responsible for succession planning for the Chairman of the Board position, including a short-term succession plan in the event that the Chairman of the Board should unexpectedly become unable to perform his or her duties. The Board-approved succession plan will be in effect until the Board elects a successor Chairman of the Board pursuant to the Bylaws.

Mr. Mehta, a non-employee Director, has served in the Chairman role since July 2020.

The duties of the Chairman of the Board include the following:

• Chair Board meetings and encourage constructive engagement and open communications;

• Preside over regularly-scheduled executive sessions of our non-employee Directors, including an executive session during which the CEO’s performance is formally evaluated on an annual basis;

• Coordinate the activities of, and facilitate communications among, our non-employee Directors;

• Chair our annual shareholders’ meetings;

• Establish each Board meeting agenda, consulting with the CEO and the Chief Legal Officer, and ensure that the agenda and materials are complete and timely and address the key priorities;

• Represent JLL with clients and shareholders as required;

• Act as a mentor and confidant to the CEO in support of his or her successful performance, attend internal company meetings as required, and encourage direct communications between the CEO and individual members of the Board;

• Together with the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, regularly review and provide input on the structure of the Board and the Board Committees as part of the annual Board and Committee evaluation process; and

• Maintain regular and open dialogue with Board members between meetings.

The Board has determined that each person who serves as Chairman of the Board, if that person is independent, will automatically also serve as a member of each of the Board’s Committees.
