***Retirement of Current Chief Financial Officer***

On August 15, 2025, Roger Thompson, Chief Financial Officer of Janus Henderson Group plc (the "Company"), notified the Company of his decision to retire from the Company, effective March 31, 2026.

In connection with his departure, Janus Henderson Administration UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a Retirement Agreement (the "Retirement Agreement") with Mr. Thompson, which will entitle him to receive certain payments in connection with his departure from the Company. Pursuant to the Retirement Agreement, Mr. Thompson will receive a prorated incentive bonus for the portion of 2026 performance year for which he is employed (subject to mandatory deferral under the terms of the Company's deferral scheme) and pay in lieu of notice equal to three months' base salary. The foregoing payments are subject to Mr. Thompson's execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with post-termination restrictive covenants. Further, Mr. Thompson's unvested equity awards will be eligible to vest in accordance with the terms of the award agreements related to a termination of affiliation due to retirement. Mr. Thompson's retirement did not result from any disagreement regarding the Company's financial reporting or accounting policies, procedures, estimates, or judgments.

The foregoing description of the Retirement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text thereof, which will be filed with the Company's next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
