# **MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR** 
**John Cassaday**

Chair of the Board

March 23, 2023

Dear fellow shareholder,

On behalf of our Board of Directors, we are pleased to invite you to the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Janus Henderson Group plc to be held on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at 151 Detroit Street, Denver, CO 80206, USA, starting at 3:00 p.m. local time. Please read the following Notice of Annual General Meeting and Proxy Statement, as well as our 2022 Annual Report, carefully before you vote.

While 2022 was a challenging year in many respects, it was also an exciting year of transition and progress at Janus Henderson. US stocks suffered the worst year since the financial crisis, amidst a difficult geopolitical, volatile economic, and inflationary backdrop. Despite the difficult operating environment, your company delivered solid financial results, maintained a strong balance sheet, and generated healthy cash flow, which enabled us to return over $350 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our full-year operating margin was 22.2% versus 29.7% in 2021, and our adjusted operating margin\* was 33.8% compared to 43.4% in 2021. While our financial position remains strong, we know our potential is greater than our current financial results.

The strategy we articulated in 2022, Protect & Grow, Amplify, and Diversify, is centered on the belief that a combination of relentless focus and disciplined execution across our core business will drive future success as a global active asset manager. Specifically, our strategy builds upon a strong foundation for sustained organic growth, and opportunistic inorganic growth, to create value for our stakeholders. We invite you to read more about our strategy and the progress made beginning on page 7 in this Proxy Statement. We are actively moving forward as a company, and we are excited that we are starting to see the benefits of our new strategy, our simplified operating model, and our strategic investments in technology and people.

We successfully elevated internal and added external talent across the organization, including in Investments, Distribution, Operations, and ESG. Our leadership also experienced a significant refresh during 2022, with Chief Executive Officer Ali Dibadj joining in June, and with six new Board members, including myself as Chair, bringing increased diversity and world-class, varied expertise. As our CEO reiterated on our fourth quarter 2022 results presentation, looking forward, we will continue to control what we can control, including cost discipline, investment in our business, client outreach, and investment performance.

The Board of Directors would like to thank our prior Chair, Richard Gillingwater, who retired at the end of December, for his outstanding service to Janus Henderson over his nearly 10 years on the Board. In addition to my appointment to the Board, and subsequent appointment as Chair, we were pleased to welcome five other members to Janus Henderson's Board of Directors in 2022: Ed Garden and Brian Baldwin, who represent our largest shareholder Trian Fund Management, L.P., Alison Quirk, Anne Sheehan, and Ali Dibadj. These additions provide deep industry experience, fresh perspectives, and valuable insights to complement continuing directors' skill sets. We are deeply thankful for the contributions of Nelson Peltz, Lawrence Kochard, and Jeffrey Diermeier, who stepped down from the Board since the 2022 Annual Meeting. Their significant contributions and insights helped guide and position Janus Henderson for future success.

As a shareholder, it is important that your shares are represented at the 2023 Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. You may vote your shares by internet, telephone, or mail pursuant to the instructions included on the proxy card or voting instruction form. Last year, approximately 85% of all eligible votes were cast by shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting, demonstrating the strong engagement and commitment of our shareholders to Janus Henderson.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, we thank you for your share ownership in Janus Henderson and your continued support. We hope you can attend our 2023 Annual Meeting.

Very truly yours,

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax3x3.jpg)

### **Company Strategy and 2022 Performance** 
In the summer of 2022, along with appointing a new Chief Executive Officer ("***CEO***"), we began the process of updating our strategic plan, which is focused on helping to define and serve our clients' needs in a dynamic and competitive asset management landscape. Our first step was to assemble a new Strategic Leadership Team (the "***SLT***") comprised of approximately 40 senior employees from different backgrounds, departments, geographies, and tenures to assist in developing and driving the Company's strategic direction. We introduced the following three-pillar strategic framework around which we will align specific objectives that provide the best possible outcomes for all our stakeholders:

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax7x4.jpg)

The SLT, with input from our clients, identified a broad range of opportunities aligned with the three strategic pillars above. These opportunities were filtered through a process designed to identify those particular opportunities that could provide the best possible outcomes for our clients and which we believe will lead to organic growth and attractive operating margins for the Company over time. After surfacing, triaging, and prioritizing ideas, the Strategic Leadership Team identified approximately 10 distinct initiatives, each fitting into one of the pillars where we will place additional focus and resources to drive results.

Implementing the strategic plan will happen over time and progress will be measured in several ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Financially** – We want to deliver consistent annual net new revenue growth with operating margin expansion over time.

■ **For our clients** – Results will be measured based on investment performance and our clients' experience with Janus Henderson.

■ **Organizationally** – We will measure the ability to attract and retain top talent and the level of engagement from employees.

#### **2022 Accomplishments** 
In 2022, we made significant progress on repositioning Janus Henderson to better meet the needs of our clients – and their clients – and thus positioning the Company for future growth.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](ljhg2023_pre14ax8x1.jpg) | **Strategic Evolution** |

---

As discussed above, we assembled the SLT, which was responsible for establishing the strategic direction of our organization, and will now implement our new strategy.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](ljhg2023_pre14ax8x2.jpg) | **Talent Acquisition** |

---

We have elevated, and added to, our talent across the organization, including the CEO, Chief Responsibility Officer, Head of Asia Distribution, Head of Operations, Head of North American Client Group, Head of Enterprise Data Management, Global Head of Product Management & Marketing, the Emerging Markets Debt Team, the Strategy Team, and the Solutions Group.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](ljhg2023_pre14ax8x3.jpg) | **Board Refreshment** |

---

Our Board experienced significant refreshment with six new members, 55% of the Board, having joined during 2022, and the Board selected a new independent Chair. These directors bring to the Board a new energy and world-class, varied experiences, including expertise in client experience, strategic execution, culture change, and environmental, social, and governance matters ("***ESG***"). We are also proud of the gains we have made in expanding the diversity of our Board as 45% of our directors are women and 27% are from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](ljhg2023_pre14ax8x4.jpg) | **Cost Efficiencies** |

---

We reviewed the cost structure of the business in 2022, seeking ways to drive efficiencies, and we identified $40 to $45 million dollars in gross run-rate cost efficiencies that we can use to provide the "fuel for growth" to reinvest strategically in the business.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](ljhg2023_pre14ax8x5.jpg) | **Operating Model** |

---

We simplified our operating model, including the sale in March 2022 of our 97%-owned Quantitative Equities subsidiary, Intech Investment Management, LLC. We also made great progress on upgrading our order management system and expect this transformational project to significantly improve our efficiency in delivering for our clients when it is completed in the first half of 2023.

## PROPOSAL 1 **ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** 
The Board has nominated 11 directors to serve on the Board until the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal. All of the nominees currently serve on our Board of Directors.

If any nominee becomes unable to serve, proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as the Board may designate, unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors. Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a nominee, to be named in this Proxy Statement, and to serve on the Board if elected.

The text of the resolutions in respect of Proposal 1 (which are proposed as ordinary resolutions) is as follows:

**RESOLVED,**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ That Brian Baldwin be elected as a director of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ That John Cassaday be elected as a director of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ That Alison Davis be elected as a director of the Company.

## **CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

### **Our Board's Leadership Structure** 
The Board is led by Mr. John Cassaday, our independent Chair. Our current structure is the result of the Board's succession planning process and regular evaluation of the Company's leadership structure. In September 2022, the Company announced that Richard Gillingwater, our former Chair of the Board, would retire effective December 31, 2022. In November 2022, the Board, after careful consideration, appointed Mr. Cassaday to succeed Mr. Gillingwater as Chair of the Board following his retirement. The Board believes that Mr. Cassaday's breadth and depth of experience, leadership skills, understanding of the industry, and fresh perspective makes him an ideal person to lead our refreshed Board into the Company's next growth phase.

At least annually, the Board reviews its leadership structure — including whether the positions of Chair and CEO should be combined or separated — and the responsibilities and composition of its standing committees. The structure and composition of the Board and its committees are intended to promote effective oversight and the best interests of our shareholders.

The Board believes at this time that its current leadership structure, in which the roles of Chair and CEO are separated, best enables the Board to carry out its duties. However, the Board recognizes that the optimal leadership structure may change as circumstances evolve. Should the Board determine to combine the roles of Chair and CEO in the future, the Board's independent directors will select an independent Lead Director, as required by the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

### **Director Independence** 
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors and include criteria for determining if a director is independent, consistent with the director independence requirements set forth in the NYSE listing standards. In determining the independence of the directors and director nominees, the Board reviewed and considered all relationships between each director (and any member of his or her immediate family) and the Company in light of these independence criteria. Based on that review, the Board affirmatively determined that, except for Mr. Dibadj, all of our current directors and director nominees are independent. In addition, all members of the Board's four standing committees are independent.

### **Director Criteria and Nomination Process** 
The Company seeks a Board with an appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence, and diversity of background among its members to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively. The Board has delegated the process for identifying and screening potential director candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. When the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines it is desirable to add a director or fill a vacancy on the Board, it identifies one or more qualified individuals and recommends them to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may engage a third-party search firm to help identify qualified candidates. When engaging a third-party search firm to identify potential director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee instructs the search firm to include in its initial candidate list qualified candidates who reflect diverse backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race or ethnicity.

In evaluating candidates for potential membership on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the qualifications of each candidate, the collective experience and expertise represented on the existing Board, and the following criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should possess fundamental qualities of intelligence, honesty,
perceptiveness, good judgment, maturity, high ethics and standards, integrity, fairness, and responsibility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should demonstrate notable or significant achievement and possess
senior-level business, management, or regulatory experience that would benefit the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should be willing to spend the necessary time required to function
effectively as a director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates' other outside involvement and possible conflicts of
interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should be able to work well with other directors and executives
in a team effort with a view to a long-term relationship with the Company as a director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should represent a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds, experiences,
and other demographics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Candidates should be willing to form and articulate independent opinions
in a constructive manner.

Based on that evaluation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board for nomination individuals whom it believes possess experience and expertise that will enhance the Board's ability to serve our shareholders.

#### **Process for Shareholder Recommendation and Nomination of Directors** 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will utilize the same criteria to consider candidates recommended by shareholders as those nominees recommended by management or other Board members. Shareholder nominations for election at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the **"*2024 Annual Meeting*"**) must be submitted to the Company by the deadlines found on page 81 of this Proxy Statement.

In February 2022, the Board welcomed two new members, Nelson Peltz and Ed Garden, each of whom was recommended for the Board by, and is a partner of, Trian Fund Management, L.P., the Company's largest shareholder (**"*Trian*"**). In November 2022, Mr. Peltz resigned from the Board and was succeeded by Brian Baldwin, a Partner and Senior Analyst at Trian. The Board has agreed to allow for replacement of such directors with another Trian partner if either Mr. Garden or Mr. Baldwin ceases to serve as a director of the Company before his term expires.

### **Board Refreshment and Tenure** 
We recognize the importance of Board refreshment to help ensure that our directors collectively possess the skills, experience, and qualifications necessary for the Board to successfully carry out its duties. Our Board also recognizes the value of having directors with significant Company knowledge and experience. To help ensure the Board's composition strikes an appropriate balance, our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain director tenure and age limits. In particular, a director may not stand for re-election after serving for 10 years (though any director who was a Board member on May 30, 2017, may serve for 15 years from the date of their original appointment to the board of Henderson Group plc or Janus Capital Group Inc., as applicable). In addition, a director typically may not stand for re-election after reaching age 75.

In 2022, the Board added six new directors who currently make up 55% of the Board, including three directors who are women or ethnically diverse. We believe that the fresh perspectives these new directors bring to the Board, combined with the knowledge and experience of longer-tenured directors, provides an appropriate balance of expertise, experience, continuity, diversity, and new viewpoints to our Board to serve the best interests of our shareholders.

**Meaningful Refreshment In 2022**

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax22x1.jpg)

During 2022, three independent directors retired from the Board: Richard Gillingwater, our former Board Chair, Jeffrey Diermeier, and Lawrence Kochard. The Board thanks Messrs. Gillingwater, Diermeier, and Kochard for their many valuable contributions during their years of distinguished service to the Company.

Our Board periodically evaluates the composition of the Board's committees and considers ways to strengthen them, including by rotating committee members.

#### **The Audit Committee** 
The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ overseeing the integrity, reliability, and
appropriateness of our financial statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ reviewing the qualifications, independence,
and performance of our independent auditor (as well as being responsible for its appointment, reappointment, and removal);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ assessing the performance and procedures of
our internal audit function;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ obtaining reports from management and the
independent auditor concerning the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the requirements of our
Code of Business Conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ reviewing and approving related party transactions
in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ overseeing our policies and procedures with
respect to major financial risk exposures and coordinating with the Risk Committee, as appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ monitoring the appropriateness and effectiveness
of our internal systems and controls.

The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and possesses accounting or related financial management expertise (as defined in the NYSE listing standards). The Board has also determined that each of Alison Davis and Kalpana Desai qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined under SEC rules.

#### **The Compensation Committee** 
The Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ determining the compensation of our CEO and
certain other executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ reviewing and recommending to the Board the
compensation of our non-executive directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ reviewing the Company's compensation
philosophy, strategy, and principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ overseeing
 human capital matters, including key initiatives, policies, and practices relating to diversity,
 equity, and inclusion (**" *DEI* "**), employee pay and gender pay equity,
 and the Company's culture;

rules, regulations, and guidelines of the NYSE and other applicable laws;

In recognition of the Compensation Committee's leading role in overseeing human capital matters, including key initiatives, policies, and practices relating to employee pay, DEI, workplace environment, engagement and culture, and talent recruitment and development, the Board expects to change the name of this committee in 2023 to the "Human Capital and Compensation Committee". The Board also anticipates moving responsibility for oversight of non-executive director compensation and stock ownership guidelines to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to enable the Human Capital and Compensation Committee to increase focus on its broad range of other responsibilities. Oversight of stock ownership guidelines for members of our Executive Committee is expected to remain with the Compensation Committee.

#### **The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee** 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in, among other things:

Board members, consistent with the criteria approved by the Board, including criteria related to seeking candidates who reflect
diverse backgrounds, including diversity of gender, race, or ethnicity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ recommending to the Board nominees for election
and directors to serve on each standing Board committee;

and balance of the Board, as well as succession planning for non-executive directors and senior executives (including the CEO).

The Board also expects to expand the responsibilities of the Governance and Nominations Committee in 2023 to include principal oversight of ESG, as well as oversight of compensation and stock ownership guidelines applicable to our non-executive directors. In addition, the Board expects to move responsibility for CEO succession planning to the full Board, and succession planning for other members of our Executive Committee and senior executives is expected to move to the Human Capital and Compensation Committee.

### **Board Evaluations** 
The Board believes that a constructive evaluation process is key for maintaining and improving the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. The Board and each of its committees conduct an annual evaluation to assess how they are functioning. Throughout the evaluation process, which is overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each director is given substantial opportunity to provide feedback. In 2022, each director completed a comprehensive annual questionnaire covering a range of topics including Company strategy, management, Board materials and meeting practices, Board and committee composition, shareholder engagement, and other areas specific to each committee. A report was prepared for the Board and each committee summarizing the questionnaire responses, and the results of the performance evaluation were discussed with the full Board and each standing committee.

### **Director Orientation and Continuing Education** 
When new directors join the Board, we provide an orientation program to familiarize them with the Company's business; strategic plans; significant financial, accounting and risk management issues; compliance programs; conflicts policies; Code of Business Conduct; Corporate Governance Guidelines; principal officers and business leaders; and internal and independent auditors. During Board meetings, the Company's management team frequently presents on the Company's goals and strategies and the current competitive environment. Further, the Board frequently receives presentations on various topics, including key industry trends, topical business issues, ESG, DEI, risk management, cybersecurity, and corporate governance. These presentations help our directors understand the Company and its industry and maintain and develop their expertise.

In addition, each director is expected to participate in continuing education programs, at the Company's expense, to maintain the necessary level of expertise to perform his or her responsibilities.

### **Shareholder Engagement** 
We conduct an active investor relations program, maintaining open dialogue with shareholders across our two listings on the NYSE and the Australian Securities Exchange ("***ASX***"). We proactively engage with shareholders on a range of topics, including corporate governance, our philosophy, and practices relating to ESG, executive compensation, strategic priorities, and financial and business performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2022, management and the Investor Relations team conducted over 150 individual or group meetings with existing shareholders, representing approximately 55% of our common stock outstanding, and potential investors in Australia, the UK, and the US. The majority of our shareholder engagement meetings were conducted virtually during the year, but in-person engagement increased in 2022 with a non-deal roadshow to Australia, participation in industry conferences, and meetings at investors' offices.

The Board regularly receives feedback on shareholder sentiment and sell-side analysts' views of the Company and the wider industry.

The Chair of the Board also conducted a number of outreach meetings during the year with major shareholders representing approximately 47% of our common stock outstanding. Board members welcome the opportunity to learn more about shareholders' interests in the Company. Equally, management receives updates on shareholder engagement, topics raised, and key discussion points.

Trian Fund Management, L.P. is the Company's largest shareholder and owns approximately [19.2]% of our outstanding common shares. In February 2022, Messrs. Garden and Peltz (each a Founding Partner of Trian) joined our Board. In November 2022, Mr. Peltz resigned from the Board and Mr. Baldwin (Partner and Senior Analyst at Trian) was appointed to the Board. We are pleased to have Trian as a major shareholder and to have the opportunity to benefit from the deep industry experience, fresh perspectives, and valuable insights that Messrs. Garden and Baldwin bring to our Board as we continue to help clients define and achieve their desired investment outcomes while delivering significant long-term shareholder value.

The following table provides examples of our engagement efforts and topics discussed with our current and prospective shareholders:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Types of Engagement** | **Topics Covered** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; ■ Quarterly earnings calls with updates to the market<br> ■ Non-deal roadshows<br> ■ Participation in industry conferences<br> ■ Calls and meetings initiated by shareholders<br> ■ Respond to inquiries concerning broad range of topics<br> ■ Outreach, calls and meetings with investors' corporate governance departments | &nbsp;&nbsp; ■ Financial performance and goals<br> ■ Corporate and business strategy<br> ■ Board composition<br> ■ Executive compensation (see "*Compensation Discussion & Analysis – Shareholder Outreach*" for more details)<br> ■ Corporate governance, human capital, DEI, and other ESG considerations<br> ■ Regulatory considerations |

## **BOARD COMPENSATION** 

### **Our Compensation Philosophy for Non-Executive Directors** 
The Compensation Committee of our Board is responsible for periodically reviewing non-executive director compensation and benefits and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the full Board. Our non-executive director compensation program is designed to accomplish several objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Attract and retain a diverse mix of capable
 and highly qualified directors with the ability, integrity, experience, and judgment required to serve on the board of a public
 company;

■ Provide competitive compensation commensurate with
 the scope of responsibilities and time commitment required by the Company's directors, including service on Board committees;
 and

■ Align the interests of our non-executive directors
 with those of our shareholders.

#### **Fees and Other Compensation in 2022** 
The Compensation Committee conducts a review of non-executive director compensation every other year. The table below shows the annual service fees for the Chair of the Board and other non-executive Board members as well as committee services fees for the period commencing on the 2022 Annual Meeting date through the 2023 Annual Meeting.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Service Fees** | |
| Chair of the Board<sup>(1)</sup> |  |
| Cash | $250000 |
| Stock | $285000 |
| **TOTAL** | $**535000** |
| Board Members |  |
| Cash | $100000 |
| Stock | $150000 |
| **TOTAL** | $**250000** |
| Cash per each Committee |  |
| Audit Chair | $40000 |
| Other Committee Chair | $20000 |
| Per Committee | $15000 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Chair does not receive separate committee fees.

The annual retainer and fees noted above are prorated for the period of time during the calendar year that each director held the position. Annual cash service fees are paid in arrears in quarterly increments. Stock awards are paid in fully vested shares of Company stock, though directors who have met the ownership requirement have the option to receive all or part of their stock awards in cash. Pursuant to the Director Deferred Fee Plan, US non-executive directors can elect to defer payment of their director fees and certain stock awards made under our director compensation programs. Deferred stock awards earn dividend equivalents, which are paid in the form of fully vested restricted stock units ("***RSUs***") that are granted on each dividend payable date. The Company also reimburses travel expenses for Board meetings, which are not included in the compensation tables below.

#### **Stock Ownership Guidelines** 
To ensure that directors own a meaningful amount of Company stock to more closely align their economic interests with those of other shareholders, the Compensation Committee has set minimum stock ownership guidelines for non-executive directors, which were adopted by the Board in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Non-executive directors are required to own shares or share equivalents of our common stock with a value of at least $300,000 within four years of joining the Board. All of our current non-executive directors have satisfied the ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2022, except for John Cassaday, Alison Davis, Alison Quirk, and Anne Sheehan, each of whom joined the Board within the past four years, and Eugene Flood. While Mr. Flood was previously in compliance with the guidelines and did not sell any shares in 2022, the decline in the Company's stock price during the year caused the value of his shares to fall below the ownership guidelines as of year-end. In addition, solely for purposes of satisfying the ownership guidelines, all of the shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by Trian Fund Management, L.P. are deemed to be owned directly by Ed Garden and Brian Baldwin, so Messrs. Garden and Baldwin have each satisfied the ownership guidelines.

### **2022 Annual Compensation for Non-Executive Directors** 
The following table shows the compensation that each non-executive director was paid for his or her services in fiscal year 2022:

## **RESPONSIBLE INVESTING** 

### **Embedding Responsibility Across Our Business** 
Being a global asset management organization comes with important responsibilities. As an active manager, integrating ESG factors into our investment decision-making and ownership practices is fundamental to delivering the results our clients seek. ESG issues can have a material impact on the financial outcomes of our investments. Furthermore, ESG issues, including climate change, demand active and ongoing engagement. At Janus Henderson, we are committed to maintaining our focus on ESG as a foundation for long-term investment returns. We also recognize that the ESG investment world is evolving, and we seek to partner with clients and act as a guide on that journey.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Our commitment to responsibility starts
 with us. At a corporate level, ESG principles influence our people, our culture, and our choices, helping to make us a better
 company.

■ At an investment level, we integrate material ESG
 factors into our analysis and processes, as appropriate, to help us identify opportunities and risks, and influence positive
 change to drive long-term performance as we engage with companies in which we invest.

■ Recognizing that there is a lack of consistency in
 ESG implementation and articulation across the industry, we seek to be clear in our communication and to provide insight and
 education to our clients.

To help ensure that strategic issues relating to ESG are appropriately identified and managed across the Company in the best interest of our clients, we established an ESG Program Steering Committee. This body, which is chaired by our CEO, includes several members of our Executive Committee and senior representatives responsible for ESG activities within our Distribution and Investment teams.

Under this ESG Program Steering Committee, individual initiatives have been created to ensure that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ ESG practices within Investments continue
 to evolve and grow;

■ our funds and mandates respect emerging regulation
 pertaining to ESG; and

■ there is sufficient awareness of the Company's
 activities relating to corporate social responsibility.

In addition to this governance structure, regular management meetings are organized around various topics relating to ESG. Our approach to incorporating ESG-related risks and opportunities into our management structure has broadly been to integrate with existing frameworks, rather than creating a parallel structure specifically for ESG. ESG is not something distinct from investing, and we believe that the financial impact of material ESG risks and opportunities should be incorporated at various stages of the research process.

### **Our Commitment to Clients** 
"Responsible Investing" involves considering material financial ESG factors when making portfolio decisions and engaging in stewardship activities. Janus Henderson understands Responsible Investing continues to evolve and mature. We are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our clients, shareholders, employees, industry groups, and regional regulators to ensure we continue to meet their expectations and hold true to our values as a steward of our clients' capital. This includes listening to client needs and developing new products to meet changing requirements.

As part of our dedication to communication, we seek to provide our clients and shareholders insights from our Investment teams that are widely available through a variety of mediums, including white papers, articles, podcasts, videos, and panel debates. We refer to this approach of open sharing of information with our clients as "Knowledge Shared". We provide access to manager insights on how they see ESG issues reshaping the investment landscape, as well as our ESG policies, voting records, and our annual ESG engagement and voting review on our website at ir.janushenderson.com under "Corporate Governance – Corporate Social Responsibility".

### **Our Approach to Responsible Investing** 
Responsible Investing demands active and ongoing engagement, and our heritage and expertise in fundamental research allow us to target long-term sustainable returns and positive outcomes.

| **Our Responsible Investing Principles for Long-Term Investment Success** | **Our Responsible Investing Principles for Long-Term Investment Success** |
| **1.** | Investment portfolios are built to maximize long-term, risk-adjusted returns for our clients |
| **2.** | Evaluation of material ESG factors is a fundamental component of our investment processes |
| **3.** | Corporate engagement is vital to understanding and promoting business practices that position the companies we invest in for future success |
| **4.** | Investment teams should have the freedom to interpret and implement ESG factors in the way best suited to their asset class and strategy objective, as they do for any fundamental investment factor |

Our first priority is to smartly manage and grow our clients' capital and fulfil our fiduciary responsibilities. In every market, client demand for processes that incorporate ESG and sustainability is increasing, and ESG factors are integral to how we think about risk. Among our clients, attitudes towards ESG and sustainability vary as much as their individual risk profiles. We are respectful of this diversity of values and offer strategies and products accordingly.

ESG considerations are a key component of the active investment processes employed by our Investment teams. These teams operate and are structured in ways that are best suited to their respective asset classes. Aside from the expectations outlined under our Responsible Investing Principles above, the precise approach to ESG integration is left to the discretion and judgment of each team to determine in a way that best aligns with their respective investment processes. The teams apply their differentiated perspectives, insights, and experience to identify sustainable business practices that can generate long-term value for investors. Commitments and accountability for the execution of ESG integration factors therefore rests with the relevant Investment teams, supported by ESG subject-matter experts within our centralized ESG Investment team.

| **Governance & Stewardship** | **ESG Research** | **ESG Strategy & Development** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;This team is focused on evolving Janus Henderson's engagement and voting policy and process, as well as leading on collaborative and thematic engagements. | &nbsp;&nbsp;This team supports investment desks with ESG research and insights. | &nbsp;&nbsp;This team focuses on ESG data, product design, and ESG thought leadership. |

---

Our ESG Investment team, created in 2021, operates under three focused pillars – Governance and Stewardship, ESG Investment Research, and ESG Strategy & Development. The team's mission is to promote ESG integration across Janus Henderson, serve as a resource for all Investment teams, and support each of our Investment teams with data, investment platforms, risk management tools, stewardship, and ESG research, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Internal Research Platform.** Investment teams are able to access and share relevant ESG research produced in-house
 by analysts across a centralized platform.

■ **ESG Risk Reporting.** ESG data is incorporated into our risk reporting tools, covering issues such as exposure
 to companies with low ESG ratings, controversies, weak corporate governance, and climate risk.

■ **ESG Research, Data, and Ratings.** We subscribe to a broad range of external ESG information providers and make this information
 available directly to the Investment teams.

### **Stewardship and Engagement** 
Stewardship is an integral and natural part of Janus Henderson's long-term, active approach to investment management. Strong ownership practices, such as management engagement, can help protect and enhance long-term shareholder value. We support several stewardship codes, such as the UK and Japanese stewardship codes, and broader initiatives around the world including the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.

Above and beyond the expectation that the Investment teams incorporate ESG considerations in issuer engagement as appropriate to individual circumstances, we also ask the teams to proactively engage on three core sustainability themes: climate change, DEI, and good corporate governance.

### **Proxy Voting** 
Corporate governance regimes vary significantly depending on factors such as the relevant legal system, extent of shareholder rights, and level of dispersed ownership. Janus Henderson varies its voting and engagement activities according to the market and pays close attention to local market codes of best practice. However, we consider certain core principles to be universal:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Disclosure and transparency

■ Board responsibilities

■ Shareholder rights

■ Audit and internal controls

A key element of our approach to proxy voting is to support these principles and to foster the long-term interests of our clients. We also recognize that, in some instances, joint action by shareholders has the potential to be more effective than acting alone. This is especially true when shareholders have a clear common interest. Where appropriate, we proactively collaborate with other investors on governance and wider environmental and social engagement issues, directly and through industry bodies.

Janus Henderson has a Proxy Voting Committee, which is responsible for positions on major voting issues and creating guidelines to oversee the voting process. The Committee is comprised of representatives with experience in investment portfolio management, corporate governance, accounting, and legal and compliance matters. Additionally, the Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for monitoring and resolving possible conflicts of interest with respect to proxy voting. We make our voting records publicly available on our website at ir.janushenderson.com under "Corporate Governance – Corporate Social Responsibility"

### **2022 Update** 
Responsibility is a journey. We continually aim to strengthen our corporate responsibility practices and our ESG capabilities to enable our clients to benefit from leading ESG research, data, and tools. In addition, we aim to equip clients with the latest insights from our Investments and ESG teams in the form of thought leadership, educational guides, and annual reports.

In 2022, we made progress in embedding ESG at the heart of our investing proposition through further investments in ESG personnel, data, infrastructure, and fund capabilities. Key accomplishments include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Specialist ESG Resources.** In the fourth quarter of 2022, we hired a new Chief Responsibility Officer to work with Janus Henderson's
 ESG Investment teams to define the optimal approaches and frameworks for our Responsible Investing and corporate responsibility
 efforts. The ESG Strategy & Development team was also expanded with new members in Denver and Edinburgh who are working
 with Investment teams on ESG integration.

■ **ESG Governance.** To emphasize the importance of our responsibility efforts and to ensure they are embedded across the Company, we
 realigned our governance structure so that our new Chief Responsibility Officer reports directly to the CEO and is a member
 of our Strategic Leadership Team. Our Chief Responsibility Officer will guide and shape our ESG efforts and governance structure
 in 2023 and beyond.

■ **ESG Data and Tools.** We continued to develop a centralized ESG data solution by working with MSCI as our strategic ESG data partner
 alongside our existing ESG data providers and by building out our cloud-based infrastructure to automate and feed ESG data
 into front office and reporting systems. An ESG risk dashboard was developed to enable oversight of ESG portfolio risks. We
 expect to further enhance this dashboard throughout 2023.

■ **ESG Fund Developments.** Driven by client interest and following regulatory guidance, we expanded and diversified our suite of products
 that incorporate ESG or sustainability factors and aligned 31 products with the European Union's Sustainable Finance
 Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), transitioning 28 funds to Article 8 status and three funds to Article 9 status under this framework.
 While discussions continue for further fund conversions in 2023, this milestone was a significant step in our 2022 ESG journey
 and is another example of the collaborative effort from all teams involved in the development of our ESG capabilities. Additionally,
 we introduced a suite of sustainable model portfolios to advisors in the US and the Janus Henderson Sustainable Multi-Asset
 Allocation Fund to our Direct platform.

■ **ESG Research.** During the year, the ESG Research team generated a range of thematic research covering a broad array of sectors
 and topics. The ESG Research team also developed an interactive tool to highlight investment ideas aligned with a comprehensive
 array of sustainability themes which was rolled out to Investment desks across the business in the latter half of 2022.

■ **Internal ESG Training.** During 2022, we continued our efforts to upskill our colleagues' knowledge and expertise in ESG.
 By early 2023, over 90% of client-facing Distribution personnel across the US, EMEA, and Asia had obtained an external ESG
 certification, and approximately half of our Investment personnel, including 100% of those associated with an SFDR Article
 8 or 9 Fund, undertook over four hours of mandatory ESG subject matter training. These included teach-ins on ESG data and
 third-party vendors, climate data, climate scenario analysis, financial materiality, DEI, and human capital management, delivered
 by our ESG Strategy & Development team. In 2023, we plan to undertake further training for Investment personnel on human
 rights and supply chain, environment health and safety, and ethics and integrity.

■ **ESG Insights.** Following our Knowledge Shared approach, we generated approximately 40 thought leadership and educational pieces
 on a variety of ESG topics, including climate change and the clean energy transition, nuclear energy, green hydrogen, biodiversity
 loss, and deforestation and made these papers available to our clients on our website at ir.janushenderson.com under "Corporate
 Governance – Corporate Social Responsibility."

## **CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY** 

### **Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion** 
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment that promotes equality, cultural awareness, and respect by implementing equitable policies, benefits, training, recruiting, and recognition practices to support our employees. Diversity, equity, and inclusion ("*DEI*") is about valuing our differences, creating equal opportunities, and continually identifying ways to improve our cultural intelligence, which ultimately leads to better decision-making and a more tailored client experience.

DEI is critical to our overall business success. As we mature and evolve, it is important to use qualitative and quantitative diagnostic data to monitor our overall impact. In September 2021, we established goals to increase the number of women in senior management positions from 25% to 30% by 2023 and to increase the number of racial and ethnically diverse employees in senior management positions from 11% to 16% by 2023. We are proud to report that we exceeded our goal for racially and ethnically diverse employees in senior management by 1%, but we saw a slight decline in women in senior management roles by 1% to 22%. The current economic landscape is quite different than it was in 2021, so we are using this time to evaluate our goals and time horizon. As we mature and evolve, it is important to use qualitative and quantitative diagnostic data to monitor our overall DEI impact.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Our DEI Goals** |  |
| **30%** | **16%** |
| Women in senior management positions | Racially and ethnically diverse employees in senior management positions |

---

To measure and drive results, we use activity metrics such as the number of employees that participate in DEI-related events. Process metrics are used to evaluate and determine gaps that could occur in our performance management and recruitment efforts. We leverage lagging and leading indicators such as representation data, employee engagement scores, and talent pipeline to provide insight into our inclusion and equity efforts. In addition to disclosing these measurable objectives for achieving diversity, we also disclose how we support DEI with our leadership and talent development curriculum as well as share the future state of DEI at Janus Henderson Investors in our Impact Report, which is available on our website at ir.janushenderson. com under "Corporate Governance – Corporate Social Responsibility."

Employees value our Employee Resource Groups, which include the Ability Alliance, Gender Diversity Alliance, the Black Professional Network, and Janus Henderson Pride, to name just a few.

**KEY DEI ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2022:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Enhanced our US parental leave coverage
 and leave pay.

■ Approved a new benefit, which will be implemented
 in 2023, that provides employees a global lifetime reimbursement of $50K for costs associated with adoption, surrogacy, fertility,
 and gender affirmation (where these services are not covered under existing health plans).

■ Increased the number of employees with disabilities
 by 2% to 7% compared to 2021 and increased the number of employees that identify as LGBT+ by 1% to 5%.

■ Exceeded our ethnically diverse employees in senior
 management goal by 1% and increased our ethnic diverse employee population by 2% to 24%.

■ Introduced new DEI initiatives, including requiring
 diverse interview panels and candidates for open roles.

■ Continued the #StrongerTogether initiative to educate
 employees on racial injustice, privilege, allyship, and systemic racism and launched Global Diversity Awareness month, which
 focused on engaging, connecting, and educating employees regarding DEI in the workplace.

■ Achieved a DEI employee engagement score of 85%, which
 is 2% higher than the 75<sup>th</sup>percentile industry benchmark set by Newmeasures, LLC, a nationally certified women-owned
 enterprise that designs and executes employee lifecycle survey tools and benchmark data.

■ Sustained our commitment to CEO Action for Diversity
 & Inclusion pledge and the Equity Collective, which represents 23 firms dedicated to educating, empowering, and developing
 the next generation of diverse leaders in the industry. As a member, we have entered into a multi-year commitment which includes
 exclusive sponsorships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Hello HIVE, and Team IMPACT.

■ Recognized by Bloomberg Gender Equality, LGBT Great,
 and Human Rights Campaign Index for our transparent and inclusive practices.

■ Continued our partnerships with #10000BlackInterns,
 Investment 2020, and Greenwood Project internship programs.

■ Improved our gender pay gap in 2022 versus 2021.\*

■ Identified and partnered with four new diverse-owned
 brokers to execute trades and enhance our commitment to business diversity.

### **Environmental Sustainability** 
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are some of the greatest challenges we, as a society, face today, and we recognize that urgent action is imperative to prevent irreversible consequences to the planet. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and embedding sustainable practices throughout our business.

Our environmental highlights:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ In 2021, we reached our target of reducing
 our carbon footprint by 15% per full-time employee over three years, based on 2018 consumption, on both actual emissions (which
 were lowered significantly due to the impact of COVID-19) and business-as-usual modeling (which aims to normalize this reduction).
 In 2022, we set new science-based aligned reduction targets on our global upstream operational emissions using 2019 as a new
 baseline, as discussed in our Impact Report.

■ In 2022 we improved our carbon data collection process
 by expanding its scope to include fugitive gases, working-from-home emissions, and electricity transmission and distribution
 losses.

■ We procured 100% renewable electricity for our largest
 offices in London and Denver, as well as Luxembourg, Melbourne, and Sydney through energy contracts, renewable energy certificates,
 and guarantees of origin.

■ We are a signatory to the Carbon Disclosure Project
 and have been responding to its Climate Change Questionnaire since 2010. In 2022 we achieved a 'B' score,
 outperforming our peers in over half of the scoring categories, as well as scoring higher than the Financial Services
 Average (B-) and Global Average (C). A 'B' Score is in the Carbon Disclosure Project's
 'Management' band, indicating that we have addressed the environmental impacts of our business and ensure
 good environmental management.

Through our carbon offsetting portfolio, we contributed to high quality, independently verified emission reduction and removal projects, and advanced the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our 2022 Offset Portfolio includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Domestic Energy Systems, India

■ Seneca Meadows Landfill Gas, USA

■ Solar Water Heating, India

■ Truck Stop Electrification, USA

■ Wind Power Portfolio, Turkey

UN Sustainable Development Goals advanced through our offset portfolio:

For further details on our environmental initiatives and operational emissions, please see the latest version of our Impact Report.

### **Community Involvement** 
We believe it is important to be actively engaged in the global community in which we operate. By contributing to communities through local initiatives, as well as through our investment activity and corporate engagement, we are fulfilling what we view as our civic responsibility to set a positive example.

Through financial donations, service projects, and paid volunteer hours, employees are able to positively engage in the areas where we work and live, strengthening our communities and cultivating meaningful partnerships. In 2022, we were able to engage in some of our traditional philanthropic efforts like participating in bike builds and community projects, serving meals at soup kitchens, and teaching financial literacy in the classroom. Our employees volunteered approximately 2,000 hours in the community which was an increase compared to the 1,345 hours recorded in 2021. In addition, they continued to organize fundraising campaigns for those in need. Employees in Australia raised over AUD34,000 for 59 charities in their region. During our global month of service campaign, our employees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Taught financial literacy concepts to
 students at the Boys and Girls Club.

■ Educated students on a range of important concepts
 about business and entrepreneurship, from pricing goods and services and international trade to competition and interview
 skills through our partnership with Junior Achievement.

■ Built and donated 48 bikes and helmets to second-grade
 students through Wish for Wheels.

■ Rallied together to support efforts to feed the vulnerable
 in West London, Singapore, and London, as well as to create awareness and motivate local communities and families to volunteer
 in different ways to help the vulnerable gain back their dignity and their place in society.

■ Assisted Dress for Success with front-of-house services
 as well as behind-the-scenes sorting and organizing clothing donations, admin tasks, and offering clients interview guidance.

■ Cleared an overgrown area at Lavender Pond Nature
 Reserve in East London in partnership with the Conservation Volunteer.

■ Renovated a playground in need of repair by partnering
 with Childhood Trust.

#### **The Janus Henderson Foundation** 
The Janus Henderson Foundation is the primary charitable giving arm of Janus Henderson Group. The Foundation seeks to make a difference in our community by helping youth achieve their full potential through access to better educational opportunities. We invest in innovative programs that prepare our youth to achieve academic success and evolve to be the future leaders of tomorrow, including those described below.

#### **Select 2022 Partnerships:** 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Junior Achievement (JA) Titan Global.** Currently in year four of a six-year partnership with Janus Henderson, JA Titan is a
 simulation-based program in which high school students compete as business CEOs in the phone industry, experiencing firsthand
 how an organization evaluates alternatives, makes decisions, examines the outcomes of those decisions, and then plans what
 to do next. With a focus on financial literacy and insights into the workforce, JA Titan brings business economics to life.
 In 2022, they:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Executed the first virtual national competition with 89 students
 competing on 29 teams.

■ Created eight user videos to help JA Areas train their educators and volunteers.

■ Developed and released several new key features to improve the user experience.

JA Titan was delivered to 11,318 students in 432 classrooms during the 2021-2022 school year – a 59% increase in students from the previous school year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Colorado Gives Day.** Janus Henderson was a proud sponsor of Colorado Gives Day, an annual effort to celebrate and
 increase online philanthropy for Colorado non-profits. In partnership with Community First Foundation and FirstBank, we encouraged
 all Coloradans to "Give Where You Live" by donating to local non-profits. The Janus Henderson Foundation donated
 $50,000 to the state-wide incentive fund, which was used to match donations made by the community. In addition, we encouraged
 our employees to take part in a corporate challenge that encouraged them to make donations to their favorite charity. Through
 this collective impact initiative, Colorado Gives Day raised $53 million for 3,336 non-profits. There were 10,909 donors and
 246,600 donations.

■ **The Centre for Financial Capability.** Janus Henderson has been a long-time supporter of The Centre for Financial Capabilities
 (**" *TCFC* "**). In 2022, TCFC continued to build upon their mission of ensuring every child receives high-quality
 and effective financial education. Our annual contribution enables TCFC to fund expert-led money lessons in schools administered
 by MyBnk, a UK-based non-profit providing 3,000 young people with tools, knowledge, and confidence to manage money. Our support
 helped TCFC raise awareness through national, broadcast, and trade media of critical issues challenging the UK's financial
 wellbeing, including the dangers of 'Buy Now Pay Later' schemes for young and vulnerable consumers and the rise
 in the number of households unable to pay council tax. Our support has ensured that TCFC is able to continue advocating for
 effective financial education in Parliament and calling on the Government to enable more sustainable funding for financial
 education through the extension of the Dormant Assets Scheme.

#### **LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF OUR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE** 

##### **Dear Fellow Shareholders,** 
On behalf of the Compensation Committee and the entire Board of Directors, I am pleased to present our CD&A for 2022. This section of our Proxy Statement provides insights into our compensation program, including the decisions made by the Compensation Committee throughout the year.

##### **Our Transformation** 
2022 was a year of significant change and the beginning of a Janus Henderson transformation. The Company refreshed and further diversified its Board of Directors, adding six new members, including a new Chair. I was appointed as an independent non-executive director and the Chair of the Compensation Committee. I am excited to join the Committee with two additional new directors – John Cassaday, our new non-executive Board Chair, and Ed Garden, the Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Trian Fund Management, L.P., our largest shareholder.

In June 2022, Janus Henderson welcomed Ali Dibadj as its CEO. In addition, the Company added external talent or promoted from within across several key roles and departments, including: Head of North American Client Group, Chief Responsibility Officer, Head of Asia Distribution, Emerging Market Debt Team, Solutions Group, Strategy Team, Head of Enterprise Data Management, Head of Operations, and Global Head of Product Management & Marketing. Two of our former NEOs left the Company during the year: Richard Weil, our former CEO, retired in March 2022, and Suzanne Cain, our former Global Head of Distribution, departed in July 2022.

These key leadership changes were augmented by a robust strategy development process led by our newly assembled Strategic Leadership Team comprised of approximately 40 senior employees from different backgrounds, departments, geographies, and tenures. The Company's broader strategy was unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2022 and, to help fund investments in our strategic plan, we initiated our "fuel for growth" program. Finally, the Company continues to simplify its operating model, successfully completing the sale of Intech in 2022 and making significant progress transitioning to a new order management system.

##### **Overview of our Compensation Program** 
Our refreshed Compensation Committee is focused on aligning the interests of our executive team with those of our shareholders through the design of a performance-based compensation program focused on achieving rigorous financial and strategic goals. As such, we made three fundamental changes to the 2022 compensation framework for our NEOs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Our Scorecard Approach has been revised to reflect the Board's expectations
 of the leadership team and to ensure executives are rewarded for strong Company performance and value creation for our shareholders
 over the long term. The Scorecard Approach will now be used to evaluate performance and determine variable compensation for
 the CEO and our other NEOs.

■ The Committee increased the percentage of long-term, stock-based incentive compensation relative
 to short-term, cash-based incentive compensation. For the CEO, 70% of 2022 variable compensation is awarded as long-term incentive
 ("  ***LTI***") compared to 50% in 2021. For our other NEOs, 60% of 2022 variable compensation is awarded
 as LTI versus an average of 46% in 2021.

■ For grants made in 2023, related to 2022 performance, the Committee expanded the use of performance-based
 share units ("  ***PSUs***") to include our other NEOs in addition to the CEO. In addition, the Committee
 increased the percentage of LTI awarded in PSUs relative to the percentage awarded in time-based restricted stock units ("  ***RSUs*** ").
 For the CEO, 70% of LTI is awarded in PSUs versus 50% for the former CEO. For our other NEOs, 50% of their LTI is awarded
 in PSUs versus 0% in 2021. The Committee also changed the PSU vesting criteria from a relative TSR-based target that vested
 if the Company's three-year relative TSR ranking was at the 50th percentile to a matrix-based target derived from a
 combination of annual net new revenue growth and adjusted operating margin to more closely align compensation with performance
 measures that management can directly influence.

[Back to Contents](#toc)

Our program is now heavily weighted toward LTI and significantly linked to at-risk and performance-based compensation, particularly for our CEO and our other NEOs. The Committee believes that LTI awards better align our compensation programs with the experience of our shareholders.

##### **Shareholder Engagement** 
The Company and the Committee view engagement with our shareholders as a top priority. Shareholders were supportive of our approach to executive compensation in 2021, as represented by our say-on-pay vote (92.4% in favor) at our 2022 Annual Meeting.

In 2022, we reached out to investors representing 64% of our shares outstanding and engaged with all those interested. The agenda for each of these meetings was driven by our shareholders and covered a number of topics ranging from leadership transitions, our strategy, ESG and executive compensation where we specifically requested feedback on the proposed changes to the executive compensation program. Based on discussions with our shareholders, they were very supportive of the 2022 changes to the program.

##### **Pay and Performance for 2022** 
2022 provided a challenging market backdrop. Stocks and bonds both had negative returns and US treasuries suffered their worst losses since 1788, leading to net outflows for the year. As a result, our financial outcomes fell short of our targets for the year. Based on 2022 performance and the performance-based design of our program, 2022 average total compensation for our other NEOs was down approximately 37% year-over-year. This year-over-year decrease in compensation is reflective of the challenging economic and financial markets environment, however, we are optimistic about the future given the strategic plan, new talent, and the opportunities ahead now that we have repositioned the Company for future growth.

Additional details on our financial performance can be found in the "*2022 Company Highlights*" section of this CD&A.

##### **In Summary** 
The rest of the Board and I would like to thank you very much for your interest in the Janus Henderson. We hope our shareholders recognize and support the changes made to our leadership team and executive compensation programs during 2022. We are committed to implementing a compensation program that pays for performance, aligns with ongoing shareholder interests, and motivates our new leadership team as we continue to transform the Company and navigate challenging market conditions.

On behalf of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, thank you again for your feedback and we respectfully ask for your continued support at our 2023 Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Alison Quirk

Compensation Committee Chair

#### **Named Executive Officers** 
Our 2022 NEOs include the following current Company executives:

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax37x1.jpg)

As a result of leadership changes at the Company, our other NEOs also include two former executives who left the Company during the year: Richard Weil, former CEO, and Suzanne Cain, former Global Head of Distribution. Mr. Weil retired from the Company effective March 31, 2022, and was succeeded by Ali Dibadj, who joined the Company and was appointed to the Board effective June 21, 2022. To ensure a seamless transition and assist with an orderly transfer of responsibilities, Roger Thompson served as the Company's Interim CEO from April 1, 2022, through June 20, 2022, and Mr. Weil remained an adviser to the Company through June 30, 2022. Ms. Cain left the Company on July 15, 2022.

#### **Compensation Principles** 
Our Compensation Committee oversees our overall compensation program for Company employees. In terms of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee is responsible for the program's overall design, the review and approval of goals and objectives relevant to our CEO's performance assessment and compensation decisions, and approval of the compensation of our executive officers based on an evaluation of each executive's performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Attract and retain highly-skilled individuals critical to our long-term success;

■ Fully align pay with our strategic priorities and reinforce a strong performance culture through
 rewards that reflect Company-wide, department, team, and individual performance;

■ Align management, client, and shareholder interests, deferring a significant portion of compensation
 into JHG stock awards;

[Back to Contents](#toc)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Manage risk-taking and conflicts of interest in our incentive plans, maintaining
 an appropriate balance between base salary, short-term cash incentives, and long-term deferred incentives; and

■ Ensure that compensation processes and procedures comply with regulatory requirements, are
 consistent with market practice, and include effective risk management controls.

#### **2022 Company Highlights** 
The macro environment and market conditions were challenging throughout 2022. Tightening monetary policy from central banks, inflation, geopolitical tension, lower consumer confidence, and liquidity concerns all continue to impact markets, investor sentiment, and our results. It is during these times of market uncertainty that our clients – and our clients' clients – need us the most. In this environment, it is critical that we increase client outreach, share our market insights, and partner with our clients.

Financial results for the year were disappointing. Adjusted operating margin declined compared to 2021, short-term investment performance fell short of expectations, and the Company ended the year in net outflows. However, long-term investment performance remains solid with 67%, 70% and 75% of assets outperforming benchmarks on a three-, five- and ten-year basis. Our balance sheet, with approximately $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, is robust and we generate significant free cash flow. We continue to manage what we can control: delivering strong long-term investment performance, providing best-in-class client service, deepening and broadening client relationships, and reducing costs significantly to create "fuel for growth" and to protect operating margins. Financial outcomes, investment performance, and several highlights are described below.

##### **Financial Outcomes** 
**Total Shareholder Return (*"TSR"*)**

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax38x1.jpg)

TSR for JHG in 2022 was -40.5%, compared to a median TSR of -18.7% for the JHG Peer Group (as defined on page 48), -25.1% for the S&P US BMI Asset Management & Custody Banks Index and -18.1% for the S&P 500.

**Adjusted Revenue\***

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax38x2.jpg)

A 22% decrease in average AUM led to a 23% decrease in adjusted revenue for the year to $1,705 million from $2,213 million in 2021.

**Adjusted Operating Margin\* (%)**

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax38x3.jpg)

Adjusted operating margin of 33.8% decreased 9.6 percentage points from 43.4% in 2021.

\* In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we report certain financial measures on a non-GAAP basis. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. For additional information, see <u>Annex A</u>, "*Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.*"

##### **Investment Performance** 
Solid long-term investment performance with 41%, 67%, 70% and 75% of assets under management outperforming relevant benchmarks on a one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis, respectively.

**% of AUM outperforming benchmarks as of December 31, 2022**

##### **Strategy Evolution** 
In the summer of 2022, we assembled our new Strategic Leadership Team comprised of approximately 40 senior employees from different backgrounds, departments, geographies, and tenures to assist in driving the Company's strategic direction. After surfacing, triaging, and prioritizing ideas, we introduced a strategic framework around which we will align specific objectives that we believe provide the best possible outcomes for our clients and shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Protect and Grow** our core business
 – There are many opportunities that exist in our core business where we can increase our market share, including regional
 intermediary distribution and good performing strategies that are sub-scale.

■ **Amplify** strengths not fully leveraged –
 Our research, portfolio management, and client service strengths can be amplified with adjacent products, channels, geographies,
 and vehicles.

■ **Diversify** where clients give us the right
 to win – We have capability in spaces where our clients are seeking more solutions from us and new capabilities that
 can open new client types.

##### **Client Engagement** 
Over the second and third quarters of 2022, we identified strategic opportunities that fit within this new strategic framework. The process to identify these opportunities included input from internal and external constituents, importantly, including our clients. We brought the client to the forefront in our process, seeking their input upfront so that their voice would be woven into our strategic evolution from the beginning. These opportunities were filtered through a process designed to identify those particular opportunities that could provide the best possible outcomes for our clients and which we believe will lead to organic growth and attractive operating margins for the Company over time. This more refined list of opportunities was then evaluated along two dimensions, which were our right to win and how these opportunities measure against future client and industry importance, to arrive at the final list of initiatives included in our strategic plan. A few examples include initiatives to protect and grow our US Intermediary business, and to amplify our existing strengths in Institutional and Diversified Alternatives.

##### **Fuel for Growth** 
Our philosophy has always been to maintain strong financial discipline and invest in the business where it strategically makes sense while looking to operate more efficiently to provide the "fuel for growth". During 2022, executive leadership reviewed the business and identified $40 to $45 million in gross run-rate cost efficiencies. Management intends to reinvest the savings from these efficiencies back into the business to enable us to be more dynamic and move faster, enhance accountability, and most importantly, to increase our investments in research, new product development, and distribution to deliver for our clients and shareholders.

#### **Alignment of Pay and Performance** 
For our CEO and other NEOs, the Compensation Committee uses a structured scorecard to evaluate performance and determine total variable compensation on an annual basis. The scorecard approach was revised in 2022 to reflect the Board's expectations of leadership and to ensure executives are rewarded for strong Company performance and value creation for our shareholders over the long term. The Board believes that strategy and culture are critical foundations to creating client, employee, and shareholder value. Additionally, the Board believes that the appointment of Mr. Dibadj as CEO will be a catalyst to develop a more rigorous strategy and initiate changes that can positively transform Janus Henderson's culture. As such, and in consideration of 2022 being a transition year, the Compensation Committee elected to increase the weightings of Strategy and Culture in this year's scorecard.

The specific performance measures included in the scorecard are the same measures we use to evaluate our business. The performance categories, measures and weightings used in the 2022 scorecard were the following:

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax39x1.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ **Financial Outcomes (25% weighting).** Deliver
 strong financial results for shareholders measured by revenue growth, cost management, operating margin expansion, and total
 shareholder return.

■ **Client Outcomes (25% weighting).** Deliver
 superior investment performance and client service measured by three-year investment performance relative to benchmark, client
 satisfaction, and net AUM flows.

■ **Strategy (25% weighting).** Transform and
 articulate the Company's strategy to position the organization for growth.

■ **Culture (25% weighting).** Embed new purpose,
 mission, and values, create a high-performance culture focused on delivering positive client outcomes, attract and retain
 diverse talent, drive cross-functional collaboration and communication, and reinforce our commitment to Corporate Responsibility.

After the end of each year, the Compensation Committee uses the scorecard to evaluate the CEO's performance relative to the specific performance measures established at the beginning of the year. Following this assessment, the Committee determines the total variable compensation award for the CEO. This same scorecard approach is used by the CEO to evaluate the performance of our other NEOs. The CEO recommends total variable compensation awards to the Committee for consideration.

Once the amount of total variable compensation is determined, it is apportioned into short-term incentives ("***STI*** "), such as cash bonuses,

---

| **JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC** ■ 2023 Proxy Statement | **39** |

---

[Back to Contents](#toc)

and deferrals into long-term incentives ("***LTI*** "), including time-vested restricted stock units ("***RSUs***") and performance-vested share units ("***PSUs***"). Our NEOs no longer have the option to defer into time-vested fund units. As set forth above in the "*Letter from the Chair of our Compensation Committee*", the Committee increased the percentage of variable compensation awarded in LTI and the percentage of LTI awarded in PSUs for the 2022 performance period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ For our CEO, 70% of 2022 variable compensation is deferred into LTI versus 50%
 for the former CEO, and 70% of the LTI is granted in PSUs versus 50% for the former CEO.

##### **CEO Total Variable Compensation Mix**![](ljhg2023_pre14ax40x1.jpg)

##### **Other NEO Total Variable Compensation Mix** 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ For the other NEOs, 60% of 2022 variable compensation is deferred into LTI versus
 46% on average in 2021, and 50% of the LTI is granted in PSUs versus 0% in 2021.

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax40x2.jpg)

Time-vested RSUs vest in equal installments over a three-year period. Performance-vested PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date using a matrix-based target, measured at the end of the three-year period, derived by a combination of annual net new revenue growth and adjusted operating margin\*. Previously PSUs applied only to the CEO and vested at 100% of target if the Company's three-year relative TSR ranking was at the 50th percentile. The Committee believes the new 2022 PSU vesting targets have a stronger correlation to relative shareholder returns and better align to performance measures that management can directly influence.

The scorecard approach used to determine total variable compensation each year, combined with the rigorous PSU vesting conditions, are intended to ensure NEO variable compensation is aligned with shareholder interests and linked to performance over the long term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ To receive a variable compensation award, executives must first deliver results
 against the performance measures as outlined in the scorecard; and

■ To fully vest in the deferred PSUs, the Company's performance must meet or exceed certain
 annual net new revenue growth and adjusted operating margin targets as established by the Compensation Committee for each
 PSU grant.

These performance measures reinforce the Compensation Committee's dedication to pay for performance, establishing rigorous performance standards, and align executive pay with shareholder interests over the short and long term.

*\** *In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we report certain financial measures on a non-GAAP basis. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. For additional information, see Annex A,* "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

#### **Elements of Compensation** 
Our Compensation Committee emphasizes performance-based variable incentives as the primary element of compensation paid to our CEO and other NEOs, reinforcing our strong pay-for-performance culture. In the 2022 performance year, 92% of CEO total compensation and 81% of other NEO total compensation consisted of performance-based variable incentives.

The charts below illustrate the mix of total compensation awarded in respect of the 2022 performance year. Total compensation includes base salary plus total variable compensation delivered in the form of STI, such as cash bonuses, and deferrals into LTI, including time-vested RSUs and performance-vested PSUs.

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax41x1.jpg)

We strive to maintain competitive compensation and benefits for all employees at the Company. Compensation, including an appropriate balance of base salary and variable compensation, is designed to; attract and retain highly-skilled and diverse talent, reinforce a strong pay-for-performance culture, and align the interests of management with our clients and shareholders. The table below provides further detail regarding compensation and benefits at Janus Henderson.

In connection with his appointment as CEO, Mr. Dibadj's compensation package was designed to align with shareholder interests and deliver compensation that is driven by Company performance and value creation over the long term.

**Compensation Decisions**

The terms of Mr. Dibadj's 2022 compensation were agreed in his offer of employment, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Performance-based variable compensation of $8.5 million is apportioned 30% cash with 70% deferred into time-vested RSUs and performance-vested PSUs. 2022 total variable compensation of $8.5 million was committed to Mr. Dibadj as part of his offer of employment and was not prorated based on his hire date, however, payout of the full amount is not guaranteed. The $4.2 million portion of his variable compensation deferred into PSUs will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to achievement of a matrix-based target derived from annual net new revenue and adjusted operating margin. Much of the $5 million inducement award is in respect of unvested equity awards at his previous employer that were forfeited in connection with his commencement of employment with the Company. This award will vest in equal installments over three years.

As mentioned above in the "*Alignment of Pay and Performance*" section, the scorecard was revised in 2022 to reflect the Board's expectations of leadership and (1) ensure executives are rewarded for strong Company performance and value creation for our shareholders over the long term, and (2) reflect the Board belief that strategy and culture are critical foundations to creating client, employee, and shareholder value. While the Mr. Dibadj's 2022 variable compensation was committed as part of his offer of employment, the scorecard approach was used to evaluate his performance in 2022.

**2022 CEO Scorecard Outcomes**

***Financial Outcomes (25% weighting)***

2022 financial results were disappointing given the combination of declining financial markets and net client outflows. We will continue to control what we can control and maintain strong financial discipline given ongoing market volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Annual net new revenue for 2022 was negative $127 million due to net outflows
 of $31 billion excluding Intech.

■ Adjusted operating margin of 33.8% was down compared to 43.4% in 2021 due to lower average
 assets affecting both revenue and expenses.

■ Total Shareholder Return for JHG in 2022 was -40.5%, compared to the median TSR of -18.7%
 for the JHG Peer Group, -25.1% for the S&P US BMI Asset Management & Custody Banks Index and -18.1% for the S&P
 500 Index (returns of both indices were also calculated on a total return basis).

■ Following an extensive review of expenses as part of the "fuel for growth" initiative,
 we identified $40 to $45 million in gross run-rate cost efficiencies (including both compensation and non-compensation related
 expenses). We are on track to deliver those savings and reinvest them in long-term growth by the end of 2023.

***Client Outcomes (25% weighting)***

Continued market volatility weighed on relative performance in our mutual funds, but overall long-term investment results remain solid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Based on Company-wide fund performance, on an AUM-weighted basis, the percentage
 of assets outperforming their respective benchmarks over the three-year investment period ending December 31, 2022, was 41%,
 67%, and 70% over the 1-, 3-, and 5-year time periods respectively.

■ The Company continued to experience redemptions in 2022 resulting in net outflows of $36.5
 billion in 2022 as compared to $16.2 billion in 2021. Total firm organic growth declined from (4)% in 2021 to (8)% in 2022,
 due in part to the challenged market environment active managers faced. We did see pockets of improvement, including in our
 Alternatives franchise which experienced 10.3% organic growth.

■ In the spirit of bringing the client voice forward, Mr. Dibadj met with dozens of clients
 and consultants in his first six months as CEO. He contributed to several mandates wins in Emerging Market Debt, Fixed
 Income, and Equities. Under his leadership, client interactions increased over 15 %
 in our US Intermediary business compared to 2021. In the institutional space, consultant meetings increased 40% compared to
 2021, and gross sales increased more than 35% compared to 2021.

 ****

***Strategy (25% weighting)***

Mr. Dibadj inspired and drove a strategy development process that resulted in a new strategic framework and specific, actionable business opportunities that we expect will lead to revenue growth over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ He assembled a new Strategic Leadership Team comprised of approximately
 40 senior employees from different backgrounds, departments, geographies, and tenures to gather our best thinking. Under his
 direction, this group identified approximately 200 ideas, clustered them into more clearly defined opportunities,
 profiled and conducted a deeper evaluation of the 25 leading ideas, and ultimately filtered these down to less than 10
 strategic opportunities that are planned for execution.

■ The new strategy framework and roadmap were articulated to all employees in December 2022.
 Attention shifted toward aligning the 2023 performance management process to reinforce objective setting and performance scorecards
 around the roadmap. Mr. Dibadj is leading our effort to further embed the scorecards to drive accountability tied to delivery
 of the Company's strategic priorities, introducing performance scorecards to his direct reports in 2022, with the intention
 of driving them deeper into the organization in 2023.

■ Mr. Dibadj and our Corporate Strategy and Development team actively considered merger and
acquisition, lift-out, and partnership opportunities in targeted areas to fill gaps in our product line-up and enable us to expand
into new areas where clients want to work with us. We are disciplined in our approach to identifying where to buy, build, or partner.
The addition of our Emerging Market Debt team in the third quarter of 2022 is a testament to what we can do, with that strategy
having quickly grown from zero to $1 billion in committed capital in less than six months.

 ****

***Culture (25% weighting)***

Following a series of leadership changes, Mr. Dibadj joined the Company and engaged with employees at all levels to understand the culture, particularly as the employee base had recently experienced a series of leadership changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Mr. Dibadj visited nine offices, hosted dozens of discovery
 sessions with cross sections of employees, conducted several firmwide town halls, and joined department meetings across the
 Company. He kept employees informed and engaged, releasing nine videos on topics from hybrid working to headcount reductions,
 fostering a culture of transparency and open communication.

■ In partnership with Human Resources, our branding team and others, Mr. Dibadj set out to create
 a clear vision for our future which included a refresh of the Company's mission, values, and purpose centered around
 helping our clients – and their clients – invest in a brighter future together.

■ Mr. Dibadj was responsible for attracting critical new talent to the Company, including filling
 the key roles of Head of Strategy and Corporate Development, Chief Responsibility Officer, and Head of North America Client
 Group, and he has been instrumental in retaining key talent at the senior leadership level in the midst of transition and
 change.

■ In addition to his client outreach, Mr. Dibadj engaged with the Company's mutual fund
 and investment trust boards, our regulators, and other key stakeholders to understand expectations and requirements and strengthen
 even the most long-standing relationships.

##### **2022 Compensation for Other NEOs** 
The Compensation Committee is responsible for oversight and approval of compensation paid to the other NEOs who are eligible to receive total variable compensation awards from the Company. The scorecard approach for our other NEOs includes the same categories, measures, and outcome weightings as the CEO scorecard described above.

The CEO, in conjunction with the Committee, agreed to apply the same scorecard approach to our other NEOs to drive individual accountability and alignment between Company and business unit outcomes, and to strengthen the link between compensation and performance over the long term. At the end of the year, each of the other NEOs completes a self-assessment, and the CEO uses the scorecard approach to evaluate their performance on a Company, department, and individual level. He then recommends total variable compensation awards for each other NEO to the Committee for consideration.

In determining total variable compensation for the other NEOs, the CEO and the Committee consider:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Other NEO performance based on the scorecard approach;

■ demonstration of certain behavioral competencies included in the self-assessment;

■ competitive benchmarking data for similar roles as compared to the JHG Peer Group; and

■ the direction of the Company profit pools, which are funded based on Company profits.

Variable compensation paid to most employees at the Company is paid from these pools, effectively creating a "profit share" arrangement between our employees and shareholders. Total variable compensation awards to the other NEOs are generally directionally consistent with the variable compensation awards paid to all employees funded from the profit pools.

Total annual compensation and performance against the scorecard measures for the other NEOs for the 2022 performance period are summarized below. Please note that in 2021, the Compensation Committee considered the uncertainty caused by the former CEO's retirement, combined with an increase in shareholder activism, and decided to grant one-time Transition Awards to Mr. Thompson and Mses. Fogo, Rosenberg, and Krueger to reinforce leadership stability during this period of transition and change. Although these awards were granted in March 2022, they are not included in the 2022 compensation shown in the tables below because they were earned in a prior year. Additional details about these transition awards can be found in the "*Executive Compensation Tables*" section of this Proxy Statement.

#### **The Compensation Process** 

##### **JHG Peer Group** 
The Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant, periodically reviews the composition of our peer group to ensure that it continues to serve as an appropriate market reference for executive compensation purposes. In reviewing the composition of our peer group, the Compensation Committee considers various factors, including our revenue, total AUM, and business model as compared to a select group of companies in our industry.

The Compensation Committee does not determine executive pay levels solely based on those of the JHG Peer Group (the "JHG Peer Group," as shown below). Rather, the Compensation Committee uses data from the JHG Peer Group as one of multiple reasonable reference points for consideration when determining NEO pay. The Compensation Committee believes that reference to the JHG Peer Group is useful to ensure that NEO variable compensation is competitive relative to compensation levels at other asset management firms with which we compete for executive talent.

Below is the compensation peer group that we used for 2022:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **JHG PEER GROUP** | **JHG PEER GROUP** | **JHG PEER GROUP** |
| • abrdn Plc<br> • Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.<br> • AllianceBernstein Holding LP<br> • Ameriprise Financial, Inc.<br> • Artisan Partners Asset Management, Inc. | • Federated Hermes, Inc.<br> • Franklin Resources, Inc.<br> • Invesco Ltd.<br> • M&G Plc<br> • Schroders Plc | • T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.<br> • Victory Capital Holdings, Inc.<br> • Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. |

---

##### **Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant** 
The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consulting firm directly assisting it in the evaluation of director or executive compensation. The Compensation Committee also has the sole authority to approve fees and other retention terms for its consultant.

In 2022, the Committee retained McLagan AON as its independent compensation consultant to provide objective analyses of, and counsel on, our executive compensation program and practices during the year. Throughout the year, the independent consultant is asked to review and comment objectively on management proposals and presentations to the Compensation Committee covering all elements of compensation paid to the NEOs, including an evaluation of the market competitiveness of our executive compensation packages, an assessment of pay in relation to performance, and input into CEO and other executive pay designs. The independent consultant also provides counsel on general market trends and technical developments, as well as input on the amount and structure of pay for the non-executive directors serving on our Board. The independent consultant is required, on an annual basis and upon the reasonable request of the Compensation Committee, to report to the Committee on any consulting services performed for management and their related fees. There were no such services provided to management during 2022.

The Compensation Committee recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from compensation consultants that are independent. The Compensation Committee selects its compensation consultant only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to the consultant's independence, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ the provision of other services to the Company by the consultant;

■ the amount of fees paid by the Company to the consultant as a percentage of the consultant's total revenue;

■ the policies and procedures of the consultant designed to prevent conflicts of interest;

■ any business or personal relationships between the consultant or its personnel assigned to work on the Company's
 account and any Compensation Committee member or executive officer of the Company; and

■ whether the consultant owns any shares of the Company's common stock.

During 2022, the Company paid McLagan AON a total of $183,850 in consulting fees directly related to services performed for the Compensation Committee.

##### **Shareholder Outreach** 
Our executive compensation and other governance matters are informed by shareholder feedback. In 2022, 92.4% of our shareholders supported the Company's advisory say-on-pay proposal. During 2022, we reached out to our top 10 shareholders, representing 64% of our shares outstanding in 2022, to discuss our executive compensation program, and we engaged with all of those who expressed an interest in providing feedback. We received support for our executive compensation program, specifically:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ shareholders were complimentary of the engagement process and welcomed the opportunity to share their
 perspectives on executive compensation;

■ shareholders were supportive of the CEO scorecard approach and complimentary of our decision to expand the scorecard to
 the other NEOs in order to improve alignment of individual performance with Company performance; and

■ in respect of our other NEOs, shareholders appreciated that the significant majority of total variable compensation is
 deferred into LTI awards and the introduction of PSUs with the double hurdle this creates, both of which underscore the Committee's
 dedication to pay for performance.

##### **Compensation Risk Assessment** 
On an annual basis, the Company undertakes an assessment of existing compensation programs and practices, including the material terms of our compensation plans, design elements that could potentially encourage excessive risk-taking or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company, and any risk mitigation features in place. The Compensation Committee receives the results of this assessment for its review and consideration.

In 2022, the Compensation Committee concluded that the Company's compensation programs and practices discourage excessive risk-taking due to the mix of fixed and variable compensation, use of deferred incentives (including both RSUs and PSUs), and the Compensation Committee's ability to claw back both deferred and previously paid awards.

#### **Other Compensation Policies** 
We are committed to ensuring that our executive compensation program and practices reflect principles of good governance as demonstrated by the following key aspects comprising our program and by those practices that we do not engage in.

##### **Stock Ownership Guidelines** 
To ensure our NEOs and other executive officers make a meaningful investment in our common stock to align their economic interests more closely with those of other shareholders, the Compensation Committee has set minimum stock ownership guidelines for non-executive directors and members of the Company's Executive Committee. We believe this commitment to stock ownership will continue to play a significant role in driving our success and creating long-term value, further aligning our senior leaders' interests with those of our shareholders. Our CEO joined the Company in June 2022. He currently owns 6.8x his annual base salary in JHG stock and is in a position to exceed the ownership guideline in the near term. Each of our other NEOs have satisfied the applicable stock ownership guidelines, which are set forth below.

![](ljhg2023_pre14ax50x1.jpg)

Shares that count towards this ownership guideline include shares of our common stock owned directly, common stock equivalents, and JHG fund holdings. The CEO, other NEOs, and other Executive Committee members must meet these requirements within five years of becoming subject to the ownership requirement.

##### **Hedging and Pledging** 
Our Share Trading Policy prohibits our employees and directors from engaging in hedging designed to offset or reduce the risk of price fluctuations in our common stock or any other transactions that include the use of derivatives (including contracts for difference, spread betting, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or exchange funds) in relation to our common stock or similar transactions with respect to our common stock that would allow them to continue to own the securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership.

In addition, our Share Trading Policy prohibits our employees and directors from trading in options, warrants, puts, calls, and similar instruments linked to the value of our securities. Given the relatively short term of publicly traded options, transactions in options may create the appearance that an employee or director is trading based on material non-public information and focus attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives.

Our Share Trading Policy also prohibits our directors and employees from engaging in short sales of our common stock. Short sales may reduce a seller's incentive to seek to improve the Company's performance and often have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in our prospects. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales of our common stock.

Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale could occur at a time when the holder is aware of material non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in JHG common stock, our Share Trading Policy prohibits employees and directors from holding shares of our common stock in a margin account or otherwise pledging our stock as collateral for a loan.

Certain aspects of this policy do not apply to Trian Fund Management, L.P. and its affiliates, including the funds and investment vehicles managed by Trian. Trian is our largest shareholder and an institutional investment manager with which two of our non-executive directors –Ed Garden and Brian Baldwin – are affiliated. Mr. Garden is Chief Investment Officer and a Founding Partner of Trian, and Mr. Baldwin is a Partner and Senior Analyst at Trian. However, our Share Trading Policy applies to each of Mr. Garden and Mr. Baldwin in his individual capacity.

##### **Clawback** 
The Company maintains a clawback policy applicable to long-term incentive awards, including equity-based compensation, granted to our NEOs on or after January 1, 2020, to the extent such individuals were NEOs at the time of grant. Upon a breach of the policy, the Compensation Committee (or the Board) may cause such awards to be forfeited or, in the case of previously settled or paid awards, clawed back. The policy applies under the following circumstances: (i) if the NEO is found to have engaged in certain types of material misconduct, (ii) in case of certain situations involving a material misrepresentation (regardless of whether the NEO's actions caused the misrepresentation) in relation to the financial performance of the Company, its subsidiaries, business units, funds or other investment vehicles managed by a member of the Company group, including upon a misstatement of financial results or other errors or discrepancies, or relating to the performance of the NEO, which formed the basis of certain incentive compensation determinations, (iii) upon significant changes in the overall financial situation of the Company group and (iv) upon a material failure of risk management. The Company expects to update its clawback policy as may be necessary to comply with New York Stock Exchange listing standards to be issued in connection with new rules promulgated by the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Act.

### **Compensation Committee Report** 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed this CD&A with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board that this CD&A be included in the Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

**Respectfully submitted by the Compensation Committee:**

Alison Quirk (Chair)

John Cassaday

Edward Garden

## **EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES** 

### **Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2022** 
The Summary Compensation Table below provides information regarding compensation during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 for each of our NEOs. The information presented in this table differs from the compensation information presented in the "*Alignment of Pay and Performance*" section of the CD&A for three reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ The CD&A describes compensation decisions made with respect to the 2022 performance year, regardless of when such compensation was actually paid or granted.

■ By contrast and as required by SEC rules, the Summary Compensation Table reports LTI awards in the calendar year in which they were granted. Our annual LTI awards relating to each performance year are granted shortly after year-end. Therefore, in accordance with SEC rules:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ LTI awards
 determined based on 2021 performance and granted in 2022 (including the one-time Transition Awards discussed below) are
 included in 2022 compensation in the Summary Compensation Table below, and

■ LTI awards
 determined based on 2022 performance and granted in 2023 will be included in 2023 compensation in next year's Summary Compensation
 Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ 2022 total compensation shown below for certain NEOs includes one-time Transition Awards determined by the prior Compensation Committee during the 2021 performance year to reinforce leadership stability following the former CEO's retirement prior to Mr. Dibadj's appointment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Following our
 regular LTI grant process, these Transition Awards were granted in March 2022 after the end of the 2021 performance year.

■ An unintended consequence of this timing is that the Transition Awards determined in 2021 are included in 2022 compensation in the Summary Compensation Table, which could be interpreted to suggest that our NEOs received compensation increases for disappointing performance in 2022.

■ Therefore, on page 54 we
 have included a Supplemental Performance Year Compensation Table that shows LTI awards, including the Transition Awards, in
 total compensation for the performance year in which the value was determined rather than the year in which they were
 granted.

In accordance with SEC rules, compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table below includes not only non-equity compensation awarded for services in the applicable year but, in the case of LTI awards granted in the years reported in the table, compensation awarded for performance in prior years and forward-looking performance-vested compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Compensation
for Mr. Thompson and Ms. Fogo was paid in British pounds and has been converted to US dollars using the average annual exchange
rate for the applicable year (for 2022, 1 GBP = 1.2299 USD). Exchange rate differences account for the varying salaries shown
for Mr. Thompson and Ms. Fogo from year to year. For Messrs. Dibadj and Weil, and Ms. Cain,
2022 salary amounts represent actual salary earned during the partial year of employment with the Company.

(2) Amounts in this column represent the portion of the annual performance-year bonus paid in cash for the respective fiscal year, as reported in the CEO and NEO performance descriptions in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section above. For Mr. Weil and Ms. Cain, 2022 amounts represent the cash portion of a pro-rated bonus awarded for the 2022 performance year, in accordance with their respective settlement agreements (see the "*Service Agreements and Settlement Arrangements with Executive Officers*" section below for more information).

(3) In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column for 2022 are the aggregate grant date fair values of the RSUs granted during 2022, even though the value awarded was based on 2021 performance. As such, this column includes the Transition Awards granted by the Compensation Committee to Mr. Thompson and Mses. Cain, Fogo, Rosenberg, and Krueger in February 2022 to reinforce leadership stability during a period of uncertainty and change at the Company. These awards were granted in 2022 in the form of time-based RSUs that cliff vest at the end of two years. The aggregate grant date fair values of the awards shown in this column are computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718). The assumptions made, if any, when calculating the amounts in this column are found in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the PSUs are the values at the grant date as determined in accordance with ASC 718, which take into account the probable outcome of the performance conditions. Consequently, these values differ from the nominal amounts of the awards made by the Compensation Committee, which are divided by the Company's common stock price as determined on the grant date to yield a target number of PSUs. For Ms. Cain, the 2022 amount includes the RSU portion of a pro-rated bonus awarded for the 2022 performance year, granted in 2022, in accordance with her Separation Agreement (see "*Service Agreements and Settlement Arrangements with Executive Officers*" section).

(4) In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column for 2022 represent fund unit awards vesting in 2022 based on the cash value of such awards at the time of vesting (which includes any appreciation in the funds in which the awards were nominally invested following the grant date) even where performance related to prior years. SEC rules require the presentation of such awards that vested during calendar year 2022, not awards made in respect of performance in 2022.

(5) The table below details the amounts included in the "All Other Compensation" column for 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Amounts of contributions paid by the Company vary by jurisdiction. In the US, this represents 401(k) match contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation (capped at $305,000 per the IRS annual compensation limit). In the U.K., this represents employer contributions to the Company's defined contribution pension plan at 10.5% of eligible compensation, or a taxable cash alternative of 9%.

(b) Amounts
 in this column represent, where applicable, mark to market on mutual fund retained units distributed during the year and
 Company matching charitable contributions under the Janus Henderson Matching Gift programs. For Mr. Weil, amounts shown also
 include Tax Equalization and other relocation benefits, and wire fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Mr. Thompson served as our Interim CEO from April 1, 2022, until Mr. Dibadj's appointment on June 21, 2022.

(7) Mr. Weil retired from the
 Company, effective March 31, 2022. Amounts in the All Other Compensation column for 2021 and 2020 have been adjusted for
 refunds of Tax Equalization benefits previously paid and reported by the Company for 2021 and 2020.

(8) Ms. Cain left the Company on July 15, 2022.

### **Supplemental Performance Year Compensation Table** 
As discussed above, the Compensation Committee determined 2022 variable compensation for our NEOs in January 2023 after completing its review of 2022 performance as described in the "*Alignment of Pay and Performance*" section of the CD&A on page 39. The table below shows the Committee's compensation decisions for our current NEOs for the 2022 and 2021 performance years. The amounts shown in this table differ from those shown in the Summary Compensation Table above because LTI awards are shown in the performance year in which the value was determined rather than the calendar year in which they were granted. This includes the one-time Transition Awards which were determined toward the end of the 2021 performance year and granted in March 2022.

In the table below, the Transition Awards are included in 2021 total compensation, which is the performance year in which the value was determined. As previously described, these awards were granted to reinforce leadership stability following the former CEO's retirement prior to Mr. Dibadj's appointment.

\* *All amounts in USD rounded to the nearest thousand.*

(1) The 2022 awards reflect grants made in 2023 based on 2022 performance. In accordance with SEC rules, these grants are not included in the Summary Compensation Table above and will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table in our 2024 proxy statement. These grants are subject to additional vesting requirements.

(2) Fund Unit Awards were not granted as part of 2022 compensation.

(3) Performance-vested share units (PSUs) were added to the compensation program in 2022 to further align the interest of our NEOs with shareholders. PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date using a matrix-based target, measured at the end of the three-year period, derived from a combination of annual new net revenue growth and adjusted operating margin. While granted in February 2023, the NEOs will not be eligible to receive any portion of this award until the third anniversary of the grant date, except in the event of a termination of employment due to death or disability.

(4) The one-time Transition Awards were granted in connection with the former CEO's retirement in order to ensure a seamless transition until Mr. Dibadj was appointed as our CEO. The Transition Awards were granted in the form of time-based RSUs that cliff vest on the second anniversary of the grant date.

(5) Mr. Dibadj became the CEO in 2022. Upon appointment, Mr. Dibadj received a $5 million one-time grant, the majority of which was to account for unvested equity awards at his previous employer that were forfeited in connection with his commencement of employment with the Company. This award is not considered to be part of his 2022 performance year compensation.

(6) Mr. Thompson and Ms. Fogo are in the United Kingdom and paid in British pounds. Both performance years are converted to USD using an annual average exchange rate between GBP and USD equal to 1.2299 to ensure year-over-year comparisons are Fx neutral.

(7) Ms. Krueger became a Named Executive Officer in 2022 and was not a NEO for 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) As a
 result of Mr. Weil's retirement in March 2022, no PSUs were granted to him in 2022 in respect of the 2021 performance
 year. Time-based fund unit awards granted in 2020, 2021, and 2022 will continue to vest ratably over a three-year period
 notwithstanding Mr. Weil's termination of employment, provided that he refrains from certain competitive services
 during the vesting period. PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021 will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (notwithstanding Mr. Weil's termination of employment, provided that he refrains from certain competitive services during the vesting period), with the level of vesting determined based on the Company's three-year relative TSR ranking versus the JHG Peer Group. PSUs will be measured as of the last trading date prior to the termination of employment (determined using the average closing stock price for the shares of the Company's common stock for the 90-day trading period immediately preceding the termination of employment).

### **Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control** 

##### **Service Agreements with Executive Officers** 
In connection with his appointment, Mr. Dibadj and the Company entered into an Offer Letter of Employment, dated March 23, 2022 (the "***CEO Offer Letter***"). The CEO Offer Letter, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, provides for an initial term of employment of three years, which may be extended for additional periods as agreed by the Company and Mr. Dibadj. In addition, the Company entered into a Severance Rights Agreement with Mr. Dibadj, dated March 23, 2022 (the "***Severance Rights Agreement***"), which provides that upon a termination of his employment by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Dibadj for Good Reason, in either case, prior to the end of the initial term, Mr. Dibadj will receive a lump sum amount equal to three times his annual total cash compensation, plus any previously unpaid portion of his variable cash compensation from a prior completed fiscal year, plus a prorated annual cash bonus at the target level of performance. In the event that the qualifying termination occurs prior to payment of Mr. Dibadj's guaranteed variable compensation target for 2022, the cash portion of Mr. Dibadj's annual compensation for purposes of the Severance Rights Agreement will be $3,275,000. In addition, the Company will provide Mr. Dibadj with 18 months of continued health and welfare coverage. The CEO Offer Letter further provides that any unvested time- or performance-based restricted stock units held by Mr. Dibadj will remain outstanding and will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. The foregoing severance entitlements are subject to the execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with post-termination restrictive covenants, including 12 months' non-competition and non-solicitation of clients, employees, and contractors restrictions.

In addition to the arrangements with Mr. Dibadj, we remain party to a service agreement with Mr. Thompson that was entered into prior to the merger of Janus Capital Group Inc. and Henderson Group plc in 2017 (the "***Merger***"), and we entered into a service agreement with Ms. Fogo on March 15, 2018, at the time of hire. Mr. Thompson's service agreement provides for his employment to continue until terminated by Mr. Thompson on six months' notice or by the Company on 12 months' notice. Ms. Fogo's service agreement provides for her employment to continue until terminated by either party with six months' notice. In each case, during the notice period, the Company may place Mr. Thompson and Ms. Fogo on garden leave for up to six months with full salary and benefits.

##### **Settlement Arrangements with Executive Officers** 
In connection with Mr. Weil's retirement from the role of CEO effective March 31, 2022, Janus Capital Management LLC entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Weil on November 18, 2021, which provides that, from the period commencing on March 31, 2022, and ending on June 30, 2022, Mr. Weil would remain an employee of the Company and serve as non-executive special advisor to the Company assisting in the transition of the chief executive officer duties. During this period, Mr. Weil continued to receive his base salary and was eligible for employee benefits as well as a pro-rata bonus of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. Subject to the execution of a release of claims and adhering to certain limitations on the types of services that Mr. Weil may provide during the one-year period following his termination date, Mr. Weil will be entitled to continued vesting of any PSUs, RSUs, and fund unit awards held by him under the Company's variable compensation program, valued at approximately $7.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Weil was entitled to such treatment under the existing terms of such awards applicable to terminations other than for cause. The settlement agreement includes covenants not to solicit, not to disparage, to maintain confidentiality, and to cooperate with the Company and its affiliates.

On July 15, 2022, Suzanne Cain, former Global Head of Distribution, left the Company to pursue other opportunities. In connection with her departure, Janus Henderson Investors US LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the "***Separation Agreement***") with Ms. Cain. The Separation Agreement provides that, subject to execution of a release of claims, Ms. Cain would be entitled to receive certain benefits in accordance with the previously disclosed terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, including a pro-rated bonus of approximately $1.4 million for the portion of the 2022 calendar year preceding the Separation Date, paid in a mix of cash, Janus Henderson restricted stock units, and mutual fund units, and subject to employment through the Separation Date. Ms. Cain was also eligible to receive subsidized health care coverage for 12 months following the Separation Date and continued vesting of outstanding equity awards, valued at approximately $4.7 million as of December 31, 2022, to the extent previously provided by, and in accordance with, the terms of the respective award agreements.

[Back to Contents](#toc)

The tables below describe the potential termination payments for our currently employed NEOs under various termination of employment scenarios. Post-termination compensation and benefits paid to our NEOs are typically addressed by the plan or award agreement relating to each element of compensation. For purposes of estimating the compensation and benefits that would apply to our NEOs, these amounts have been calculated as if each NEO's employment had been terminated as of December 31, 2022, using the closing value of our common stock on December 30, 2022 ($23.52 per share).

The numbers disclosed in the tables are calculated in USD and are subject to other estimates and assumptions, therefore, the actual amounts the NEO may receive may differ materially from those shown in these tables. Additional information on the calculations for any payments are outlined in the footnotes of each table.

#### **Voluntary Resignation** 
Upon a voluntary resignation (not constituting a retirement), no NEO is entitled to any compensation or benefit and any unvested LTI awards, including fund unit awards and stock options under the Sharesave program (a UK tax approved plan), will forfeit.

#### **Involuntary Termination** 
Upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause, the CEO will be entitled to severance in accordance with his Severance Rights Agreement. Payments would include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ A lump sum amount equal to three times
 annual total cash compensation,

■ Any unpaid portion of variable cash compensation from
 a completed fiscal year,

■ A cash payment equal to the target cash bonus for
 the year of termination, prorated through the date of termination,

■ Any unvested LTI awards, including PSUs, would continue
 to vest subject to achievement of performance criteria, and

■ A cash payment equal to the value of continued benefits
 for a period of 18 months following date of termination.

Except with respect to Mr. Dibadj, our NEOs will not be entitled to severance in the event of an involuntary termination of employment that is not the result of a role elimination. In the unlikely event that the Company were to eliminate the role of an NEO, he or she would be entitled to the severance benefits in place at the time of the role elimination, and consistent with the severance benefits offered to all other employees in the event of a role elimination. If the termination had occurred on December 31, 2022, severance payments would include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ A cash payment equal to a number of months
 of base salary (determined by tenure), and subject to a minimum of three and a maximum of 12 months.

■ A payment in lieu of notice, if applicable, as described
 in the service agreements with certain NEOs.

■ A pro-rata portion of total variable compensation
 based on the previous year's actual variable compensation (assuming termination after July 1).

■ Any unvested LTI awards including fund unit awards
 would continue to vest, and he or she will have six months following termination of employment to exercise any stock options
 under the Company's Sharesave program (a UK tax approved plan).

■ Where applicable, a cash payment equal to the value
 of continued benefits (determined by tenure), and subject to a minimum of three and a maximum of 12 months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Includes the full 2022 total variable compensation. The variable
 compensation payment is subject to deferral in accordance with the terms of the plan rules.

(2) Long-term incentive award vesting reflects continued vesting of RSUs, fund
 unit awards, subject to complying with limitations on the types of services that may be provided to competitors during the
 vesting period.

#### **Change-in-Control** 
The Company is not party to any individual change-in-control agreements with any of the NEOs. In addition, beginning with LTI incentive grants made in 2020, LTI incentive awards including fund unit awards do not contain change-in-control provisions.

### **Pay Versus Performance Table for Fiscal Year 2022** 
The Pay Versus Performance Table below discloses the relationship between the compensation actually paid to the executive officers and the Company's financial performance during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The compensation information presented in this table is different from compensation information presented in the Summary Compensation Table above. The differences can largely be attributed to variation in the treatment of stock awards in each of these tables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ The compensation presented in the "*2022 Compensation for the CEO and Other NEOs*" section of the CD&A illustrates compensation paid or granted to NEOs
 based on their performance during the 2022 performance period as determined by the scorecard approach. The stock awards shown
 as "JHG Restricted Stock" in these tables include the portion of 2022 total variable compensation that will be
 deferred into JHG RSUs when it is granted in March 2023.

■ In accordance with SEC rules, the Stock Awards column
 in the Summary Compensation Table includes the aggregate grant date fair values of the RSUs granted during 2022, even though
 the number of RSUs granted was determined based on the 2021 performance of the executive officers.

■ The Pay Versus Performance Table below differs from
 both the information presented in the CD&A and in the Summary Compensation Table, because it calculates actual compensation
 based on different methodologies, including the value of outstanding unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2022.

For additional information, see <u>Annex A</u>, "*Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures* ".

### **CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure** 
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of Mr. Ali Dibadj, our CEO, and our employees (other than our CEO).

For 2022, our median employee was identified by calculating 2022 compensation for all employees, excluding our CEO, who were employed on December 31, 2022. All active employees were included, whether employed on a full-time or part-time basis. 2022 total compensation included base salary plus variable compensation (including sales commissions if applicable) before deferrals. Variable compensation was annualized for employees who were hired after the start of the 2022 fiscal year. Compensation to our non-US employees was converted to US dollars based on the average monthly exchange rates for the 2022 fiscal year.

Upon identifying the median employee, total compensation was calculated for this individual using the same methodology as used for the CEO (and other NEOs) in the Summary Compensation Table. Accordingly, our median employee's 2022 annual total compensation was $154,934. In 2022, Mr. Dibadj had an annual total compensation of $8,301,680, determined by annualizing the total compensation reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, as the selected approach for a year in which there were multiple CEOs.

As a result for 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee (other than our CEO) was 54 to 1.

### **Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation** 
None of our executive officers currently serves as a member of the board of directors or as a member of a compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee. None of the individuals who served on our Compensation Committee during 2022, and none of our current Compensation Committee members, are current or former officers or employees of the Company. Additionally, none of the individuals who currently serve as members of our Compensation Committee or who served as members of our Compensation Committee during 2022 has had any relationship requiring disclosure by the Company under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

| **TOTAL** | **422755** | **—** | **12447878** |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Includes awards outstanding under the
 Save as You Earn Plan and performance share units issued under the Janus Henderson Group plc Third Amended and Restated 2010
 Deferred Incentive Plan (the "  ***2010 Deferred Incentive Plan***") to the CEO. There are an additional
 14,729 options and 5,641,839 restricted stock units outstanding under the Company's equity compensation plans, which
 are not included in column (a) because shares have been purchased on the open market to cover their issuance and such shares
 are therefore already reflected in the Company's financial statements as currently outstanding shares of common stock.

(2) The Save As You Earn Plan had 371,855 shares outstanding
 with a weighted average exercise price of $19.94 as of December 30, 2022. The performance share units are full value awards
 and do not have an exercise price, and, therefore, PSUs are not included in the weighted-average exercise price in column
 (b).

(3) Includes shares remaining available for future issuance
 under the 2022 Deferred Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2022. None of the Company's other shareholder-approved equity plans
 contain a specified share pool.

## PROPOSAL 2 **ADVISORY SAY-ON-PAY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION** 
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related SEC rules promulgated thereunder, we are asking our shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

As described in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this Proxy Statement, the primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract and retain individuals critical to our long-term success by providing total reward opportunities that, subject to performance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are competitive within our defined markets;

■ fully align pay with our strategic priorities and reinforce a strong performance culture through rewards that reflect Company-wide, department, team, and individual performance;

■ align management, client, and shareholder interests by deferring a significant portion of compensation into Company stock awards and/or fund unit awards;

■ manage risk-taking and conflicts of interest in our incentive plans, maintaining an appropriate balance between base salary, short-term cash incentives, and long-term deferred incentives; and

■ ensure that compensation processes and procedures comply with regulatory requirements, are consistent with market practice, and include effective risk management controls.

We urge our shareholders to review the "*Executive Compensation*" section of this Proxy Statement, including the compensation tables and related narrative discussion included therein for more information.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 2 (which is proposed as an ordinary resolution) is as follows:

**RESOLVED**, that the shareholders of the Company hereby approve, on a nonbinding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and in the other tabular and narrative executive compensation disclosures in this Proxy Statement.

### **Vote Required and Recommendation** 
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon us. However, our Compensation Committee values the opinions expressed by shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers. This proposal will be approved, on an advisory basis, if the number of votes cast "FOR" exceeds 50% of the total number of votes cast on this matter.

## PROPOSAL 3 **RENEWAL OF THE BOARD'S AUTHORITY TO REPURCHASE COMMON STOCK** 
The Board believes that it is advantageous to renew the authority for the Company to repurchase its own shares in certain circumstances. Under our Articles of Association, the Company may repurchase its own shares subject to and in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 ("***Jersey Companies Law***"), which generally requires authorization by a special resolution approved by shareholders. Accordingly, the Board proposes to seek this authority in a form consistent with the Jersey Companies Law and US securities laws.

Proposal 3, which will be proposed as a special resolution in accordance with Jersey law, seeks shareholders' approval of the purchase by the Company of a maximum number of shares which, taken together with the number of underlying shares represented by CDIs that are purchased pursuant to the special resolution in Proposal 4, is [•], representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as of February 24, 2023.

The authority sought by this resolution will expire the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting or (ii) November 1, 2024.

The Board will continuously review a possible repurchase of shares and CDIs, taking into account the Company's financial position, share/ CDI price and other investment opportunities. The Board would use this authority only if it believes at the time that such purchase would be in the best interests of shareholders generally.

Any purchases of common stock would be by means of market purchases. The special resolution below sets the maximum and minimum prices for any such purchases. Common stock purchased under this authority may be held as treasury shares. The Jersey Companies Law allows the Company to purchase and hold treasury shares in its issued capital rather than cancelling those shares. Treasury shares do not carry voting rights and have no entitlement to dividends. Treasury shares may be cancelled, sold, or used to meet the Company's obligations under its employee share plans. Any shares of common stock purchased, but not held as treasury shares, would be cancelled.

As of February 24, 2023, pursuant to the authority approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company repurchased on the open market and cancelled [•] shares of common stock since the 2022 Annual Meeting. Such authority will expire at the close of the 2023 Annual Meeting, unless renewed by shareholders.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 3 (which is proposed as a special resolution) is as follows:

**RESOLVED**, that, pursuant to Article 57 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorized to make purchases on a stock exchange of its common stock, subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ the maximum number of shares
 of common stock authorized to be purchased is [•] , minus the number of underlying
 shares represented by CDIs that are purchased pursuant to Proposal 4;

■ the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) that may
 be paid for a share of common stock is $1.50 par value per share;

■ the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) that may
 be paid for each share of common stock is an amount that is equal to 105% of the average closing stock price of the preceding
 five trading days on the New York Stock Exchange;

■ this authority shall expire the earlier of (i) the
 conclusion of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting or (ii) November 1, 2024;

■ a contract to purchase shares under this authority
 may be made before this authority expires, and concluded in whole or in part after this authority expires; and

■ pursuant to Article 58A of the Companies (Jersey)
 Law 1991, the Company may hold as treasury shares any shares of common stock of the Company purchased pursuant to the authority
 conferred in this resolution.

### **Vote Required and Recommendation** 
As a special resolution, this proposal will be approved if the number of votes cast "FOR" equals or exceeds two-thirds of the total number of votes cast on this matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will not impact the outcome of this proposal.

## PROPOSAL 4 **RENEWAL OF THE BOARD'S AUTHORITY TO REPURCHASE CDIs** 
As discussed in Proposal 3, the Company is required to seek authorization by a special resolution approved by shareholders to repurchase its own shares, which also applies to repurchases of CDIs.

Proposal 4, which will be proposed as a special resolution in accordance with Jersey law, seeks shareholders' approval of the purchase by the Company of a maximum number of CDIs that the underlying common stock are represented by which, taken together with any shares of common stock purchased by the Company pursuant to Proposal 3, is [•], representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as of February 24, 2023.

The authority sought by this resolution will expire the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting or (ii) November 1, 2024.

The Board will continuously review a possible repurchase of shares and CDIs, taking into account the Company's financial position, share/CDI price and other investment opportunities. The Board would use this authority only if it believes at the time that such purchase would be in the best interests of shareholders generally.

Any purchases of CDIs would be by means of purchases on the open market. Any CDIs purchased in Australia will then be converted into common stock ("***Converted Shares***"). The special resolution below sets the maximum and minimum prices for any such purchases. Shares represented by CDIs purchased under this authority may be held as treasury shares. The Jersey Companies Law allows the Company to purchase and hold treasury shares in its issued capital rather than cancelling those shares. Treasury shares do not carry voting rights and have no entitlement to dividends. Treasury shares may be cancelled, sold or used to meet the Company's obligations under its employee share plans. Any Converted Shares purchased, but not held as treasury shares, would be cancelled.

As of February 24, 2023, pursuant to the authority approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company repurchased on the open market and cancelled [•] shares of common stock, of which [•] were CDIs that were converted to common stock before being cancelled, since the 2022 Annual Meeting. Such authority will expire at the close of the 2023 Annual Meeting, unless renewed by shareholders.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 4 (which is proposed as a special resolution) is as follows:

**RESOLVED**, that the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorized (pursuant to Article 57 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991) to make purchases on a stock exchange of its CDIs, subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ the maximum number of CDIs authorized
 to be purchased is [•] , minus the number of shares purchased pursuant to
 Proposal 3;

■ the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) that may
 be paid for each CDI is the Australian dollar equivalent of $1.50;

■ the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) that may
 be paid for each CDI is an amount equal to 105% of the average closing CDI price of the preceding five trading days on the
 Australian Securities Exchange;

■ this authority shall expire the earlier of (i) the
 conclusion of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting or (ii) November 1, 2024;

■ a contract to purchase CDIs under this authority may
 be made before this authority expires, and concluded in whole or in part after this authority expires; and

■ pursuant to Article 58A of the Companies (Jersey)
 Law 1991, the Company may hold as treasury shares any shares of common stock represented by the CDIs purchased pursuant to
 the authority conferred in this resolution.

### **Vote Required and Recommendation** 
As a special resolution, this proposal will be approved if the number of votes cast "FOR" equals or exceeds two-thirds of the total number of votes cast on this matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will not impact the outcome of this proposal.

## PROPOSAL 5 **REAPPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS** 
The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the Company's auditors. The Audit Committee evaluates the selection of the Company's auditors each year and determines whether to reappoint the current auditors or consider other firms. Certain key factors that the Audit Committee considers as part of this evaluation include the quality or service provided, the benefits of tenure versus fresh perspective, business acumen, auditor independence, and the appropriateness of fees relative to both efficiency and audit quality. Based on its annual review, the Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("***PwC***") as our auditors is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Therefore, the Audit Committee has reappointed PwC, which has served as the Company's auditors since 2019, to serve as the Company's auditors.

Pursuant to the Jersey Companies Law, shareholders are required to approve the reappointment of the Company's auditors each year, and the appointment runs until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting (unless the auditors are removed by resolution of shareholders in a general meeting). Shareholders are also requested to ratify the appointment of PwC as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for purposes of US securities laws for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and to authorize the directors to determine the fees to be paid to the auditors.

The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal 5 (which is proposed as an ordinary resolution) is as follows:

**RESOLVED**, that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP be appointed as the auditors of the Company from the conclusion of this 2023 Annual Meeting until the conclusion of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting, that the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for purposes of United States securities law reporting for the year ending December 31, 2023, be ratified, and that the directors be authorized to determine the fees to be paid to the auditors.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the 2023 Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions.

### **Vote Required and Recommendation** 
As an ordinary resolution, this proposal will be approved if the number of votes cast "FOR" exceeds 50% of the total number of votes cast on this matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will not impact the outcome of this proposal.

---

### **Pre-Approval Policy** 
All services performed by PwC were approved in accordance with the approval policy and procedures adopted by the Audit Committee. This policy describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other services that our independent auditor may perform. Under the policy, any service to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Generally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled committee meetings, however, the authority to grant specific pre-approval between meetings, as necessary, has been delegated to the Audit Committee Chair. The Audit Committee Chair must update the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled committee meeting of any services that were granted specific approval.

The Audit Committee generally approves a narrow range of fees associated with each proposed service to incorporate appropriate oversight and control of the independent auditor relationship.

At each meeting, the Audit Committee reviews the status of services and fees incurred year-to-date against the original approved services and the forecast of remaining services and fees for the fiscal year.

 Henderson Group plc 401(k) Plan must submit their votes before 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on Monday, May 1, 2023.

(3) UK DI holders may return their instructions via CREST
 by 9:00 a.m. (London time) on Friday, April 28, 2023

### **What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?** 
If you are a shareholder of record, holder of CDIs, holder of UK DIs, or holder of UK DIs via the CSN, your proxy may vote in his or her discretion with respect to any proposal for which you fail to provide voting instructions on. In addition, if you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy and fail to provide voting instructions, the Chair intends to vote your shares in accordance with the Board's recommendations.

If you are a beneficial owner of common stock and fail to provide voting instructions to your broker, then your broker may vote your shares on your behalf only with respect to Proposal 5 – Reappointment and Remuneration of Auditors. Your broker is not permitted to vote on Proposals 1 through 4 if you do not provide voting instructions, which will result in a so-called "broker non-vote."

### **What if I change my mind after I vote?** 
You can revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ submit a timely later-dated proxy or voting instruction form;

■ provide timely subsequent telephone or internet voting instructions; or

■ vote in-person at the Meeting.

### **What happens if other matters come up at the 2023 Annual Meeting?** 
If you are a shareholder of record, holder of CDIs, holder of UK DIs, or holder of UK DIs via the CSN, your proxy will have discretion to vote as he or she thinks fit on any other business that may properly come before the Meeting, including amendments to any resolution, and at any adjourned or postponed meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of common stock, your broker may vote your shares on your behalf only on "routine" matters that may properly come up at the Meeting.

We do not expect any other matters to come up at the meeting.

### **What constitutes a quorum?** 
The presence, in person or represented by proxy, of at least one-third of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock (excluding any shares held in treasury) entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting as of the record date constitutes a quorum.

### **How is it determined whether a matter has been approved?** 
In tabulating the voting results, only FOR and AGAINST votes are counted. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted only for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

| **Proposal** |  | **Vote required to elect directors and<br> adopt the other proposals** | **Board Vote<br> Recommendation** |

| **5** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Reappointment and Remuneration of Auditors** | The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast (ordinary resolution) | "**FOR**" |

### **Who pays to prepare, mail, and solicit the proxies?** 
We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited in person or by mail, telephone, and electronic transmission on our behalf by directors, officers, or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, without additional compensation. We will reimburse brokers and other nominees that are requested to forward soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the shares they hold of record.

### **Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of the proxy materials?** 
We distribute our proxy materials to most shareholders over the Internet using "Notice and Access" delivery, as permitted by SEC rules. We elected to use this method for most shareholders because it reduces our print and mail costs and the environmental impact of the Meeting. See "*Householding*" below for additional information.

### **Where can I find the voting results of the 2023 Annual Meeting?** 
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC and disclosed on the ASX Market Announcements Platform within four business days following the Meeting and made available on the Company's website at www.janushenderson.com/AGM2023.

## **OTHER INFORMATION** 
This Proxy Statement includes website addresses and references to additional materials found on those websites. The information on our Corporate Governance webpage, the Impact Report, and any other information on our website that we may refer to herein is not incorporated by reference into, and does not form any part of, this Proxy Statement. Any targets or goals discussed in our Impact Report and in this Proxy Statement may be aspirational, and as such, no guarantees or promises are made that these goals will be met. Furthermore, statistics and metrics disclosed in this Proxy Statement and in the Impact Report are estimates and may be based on assumptions that turn out to be incorrect.

### **Forward-Looking Statements** 
Certain statements in this Proxy Statement not based on historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects, or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "could," "expect," "intend," "plan," "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "likely," "will," "would," and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this Proxy Statement include, but are not limited to, risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in other filings or furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.

### **Shareholder Proposals for 2024 Annual Meeting** 
Shareholders who wish to present a proposal in accordance with SEC Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for inclusion in our proxy materials to be distributed in connection with our 2024 Annual Meeting must submit their proposals in accordance with that rule so they are received by the Company Secretary at the address set forth below no later than the close of business on November 24, 2023. If the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or after May 3, 2024, then the deadline to timely receive such material will be a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received. As the rules of the SEC make clear, simply submitting a timely proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in our proxy materials.

Our Articles of Association require that shareholders who intend to propose, outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, any resolution, including nominating candidates for election as directors, at our 2024 Annual Meeting must provide notice of such proposals in writing to our Company Secretary between the close of business on January 4, 2024, and the close of business on February 3, 2024. However, if the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after May 3, 2024, the shareholder's notice must be delivered in writing (i) no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting and (ii) no later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day prior to such 2024 Annual Meeting or (b) the 10th day after public announcement of the date of such 2024 Annual Meeting is first made by the Company. The notice must set forth the information required by our Articles of Association.

Such proposals should be sent to our Company Secretary in writing to Janus Henderson Group plc, Attn: Company Secretary, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206, USA. To be included in the Company's proxy materials, the proposal must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC and our Articles of Association and must be a proper subject for shareholder action under Jersey law.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, to comply with the SEC's universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide timely notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

### **Householding** 
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to send a single copy of the proxy materials or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, to two or more shareholders who share the same address, subject to certain conditions. This "householding" rule benefits both the shareholders and the Company by reducing the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive, reducing the Company's printing and mailing costs, and reducing the environmental impact of our meeting. Accordingly, a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (or proxy materials) will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders.

If one set of these documents was sent to your household for the use of all the Company's shareholders in your household and one or more of you would prefer to receive additional sets, or if multiple copies of these documents were sent to your household and you want to receive one set, please contact our transfer agent, Computershare, P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, USA; toll-free 866-638-5573; or www. computershare.com/investor.

**IF A BROKER, BANK, OR OTHER NOMINEE HOLDS YOUR SHARES, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR BROKER, BANK, OR OTHER NOMINEE DIRECTLY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT DELIVERY OF MATERIALS, REQUIRE ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE PROXY MATERIALS, OR WISH TO RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THE PROXY MATERIALS, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO STATE THAT YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO HOUSEHOLDING.**

### **Presentation of Accounts** 
Under Jersey law, the directors are required to present the accounts of the Company and the reports of the auditors before shareholders at a general meeting. Therefore, the accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, will be presented to the shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

### **Shareholder Inquiries** 
For shareholder inquiries, please contact the Janus Henderson Group Share Registry.

## ANNEX A **RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES** 
The Company presents its financial results in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("***GAAP***"). However, management evaluates our profitability and our ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation below of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) We contract with third-party intermediaries
 to distribute and service certain of our investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are either
 provided for separately in an investment product's prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements,
 the fees are collected by us and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable
 services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees we collect are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG
 management believes that the deduction of distribution and service fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue
 reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, we perform the distribution and servicing activities
 and retain the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by us are not deducted from GAAP
 revenue.

(2) Adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2022,
 2021, and 2020 include rent expense for subleased office space. The adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2022, also include
 the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. The adjustments for the
 year ended December 31, 2020, also include integration costs related to the Merger, including severance costs, legal costs
 and consulting fees. JHG management believes these costs do not represent our ongoing operations.

(3) Investment management contracts have been identified
 as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are
 recognized at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition.
 For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the
 contracts. Adjustments also include impairment charges of our goodwill, certain mutual fund investment management contracts,
 client relationships and trademarks. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition related costs do not represent
 our ongoing operations.

(4) Operating margin is operating income divided by revenue.

(5) Adjusted operating margin is adjusted operating income
 divided by adjusted revenue.

(6) Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2022,
 primarily relate to accumulated foreign currency translation expense related to liquidated JHG entities, rental income from
 subleased office, and a one-time charge related to the sale of Intech. Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily
 relate to rental income from subleased office space and a one-time contingent consideration adjustment in relation to the
 sale of Geneva. JHG management believes these expenses do not represent our ongoing operations.

(7) The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based
 on the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate as they relate to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or
 not tax deductible. The impairment of goodwill and intangible assets impacted all periods but the impact was more significant
 in 2020. In addition, the 2021 adjustment includes non-cash deferred tax expense resulting from the revaluation of certain
 UK deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the enactment of the Finance Act 2021, which increased the UK corporation tax
 rate from 19% to 25% beginning in April 2023.

(8) Diluted earnings per share is net income attributable
 to JHG common shareholders divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

(9) Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted net
 income attributable to JHG common shareholders divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
