NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management of Janus Henderson Group plc (“JHG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required for interim reporting purposes and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date.
Note 2 — Dispositions
On February 3, 2022, we announced the strategic decision to sell our 97%-owned Quantitative Equities subsidiary, Intech Investment Management LLC (“Intech”), to a consortium composed of Intech management and certain Intech non-executive directors (“Management Buyout”). The Management Buyout is expected to enable both organizations to refocus on their key value propositions: Janus Henderson on providing active, fundamental investing, and Intech on delivering quantitative investment solutions for institutional investors.
On March 31, 2022, the Management Buyout closed and we recognized a $9.1 million loss on disposal of Intech. The loss is recognized in other non-operating expenses, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Consideration received as part of the Management Buyout included cash proceeds of $14.9 million ($9.9 million will be collected in the third quarter 2022); contingent consideration of up to $17.5 million, which is based on future Intech revenue; and an option agreement with a fair value of $3.9 million that provides JHG the option to purchase a certain equity stake in Intech at a predetermined price on or before the seventh anniversary of the Management Buyout.
The terms of the transaction also included a $20.0 million
term note subject to two tranches. The first tranche of $10.0 million was paid to Intech at closing while the second tranche of $10.0 million is available to Intech, subject to certain restrictions. In the second quarter of 2022, Intech borrowed an additional $2.0 million from the second tranche of the term note. With the additional borrowing, the outstanding principle on the note receivable was $12.0 million payable from Intech as of June 30, 2022. The first tranche of the term note pays interest at 5.5%, while the second tranche pays interest at 6.0%.JHG and Intech entered into a transition services agreement that provides for continuation of support services to help ensure a seamless transition in operations and continuity in serving Intech’s clients.
Note 3 — Consolidation
Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Our consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, include certain consolidated seeded investment products in which we have an investment and act as the investment manager. Third-party assets held in consolidated VIEs are not available to us or to our creditors. We may not, under any circumstances,
6
access third-party assets held by consolidated VIEs to use in our operating activities or otherwise. In addition, the investors in these consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the credit of JHG.
As of June 30, 2022, our ownership percentage in a certain seeded investment product was greater than our VIE consolidation threshold, resulting in the consolidation of the fund, and is the primary driver of the significant increase in our consolidated VIE investment securities balance.

Note 5 — Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments Used to Hedge Seeded Investment Products
We maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market volatility of certain seeded investments by using index and commodity futures (“futures”), index swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps. Foreign currency exposures associated with our seeded investment products are also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts and swaps.
We were party to the following derivative instruments as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (in millions):

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Our Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by seeded investment products, investments in advised mutual funds, cash equivalents, securities sold, not yet purchased, and investments related to deferred compensation plans with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of unconsolidated investments held in seeded investment products is determined by the net asset value (“NAV”), which is considered a quoted price in an active market.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Our Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of consolidated seeded investment products, derivative instruments, and our long-term debt. The fair value of consolidated seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value of our long-term debt is determined using broker quotes and recent trading activity, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Investment Securities
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, certain securities within consolidated VIEs were valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification.
Intech Option Agreement and Contingent Consideration
On March 31, 2022, we completed the sale of Intech. Consideration received as part of the Management Buyout included contingent consideration of up to $17.5 million and an option agreement that provides JHG the option to purchase a certain equity stake in Intech at a predetermined price on or before the seventh anniversary of the Management Buyout.
As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the option agreement and of the Intech contingent consideration was $3.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Significant unobservable inputs were used to value the call option and contingent consideration, including revenue estimates, discount rate, and volatility.
Deferred Bonuses
Deferred bonuses represent liabilities to employees over the vesting period that will be settled by investments in our products. The significant unobservable inputs used to value the liabilities are investment designations and vesting periods.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill and intangible assets. We measure the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets on initial recognition using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis that requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and discount rates. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets, such measurements are classified as Level 3.

Management Buyout of Intech
As detailed in Note 2 — Dispositions, on March 31, 2022, the Management Buyout of Intech closed. As part of this disposition, we removed $4.7 million and $40.1 million of trademarks and client relationships, respectively, from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as these intangible assets were directly connected to Intech. In addition, we also allocated a certain amount of goodwill to Intech, which was also removed from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of the Management Buyout.
Out-of-Period Incremental Goodwill Impairment
In the first quarter 2020, due to the sudden decline of the global financial markets impacting our assets under management (“AUM”), we recognized a $123.5 million goodwill impairment expense. Subsequent to the first quarter 2020, we identified a $32.8 million error in which we did not consider the incremental impairment charge related to the tax-deductible goodwill. We have corrected this error in the first quarter 2022 as an out-of-period adjustment, which is reflected in the table above and recorded in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

4.875% Senior Notes Due 2025
The 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”) have a principal value of $300.0 million, pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and mature on August 1, 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes include unamortized debt premium, net at June 30, 2022, of $8.9 million, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt premium is recorded as a liability within long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. JHG fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. in relation to the 2025 Senior Notes.
Credit Facility
At June 30, 2022, we had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). JHG and its subsidiaries may use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. The rate of interest for each interest period is the aggregate of the applicable margin, which is based on our long-term credit rating and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in relation to any loan in U.S. dollars (“USD”); the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) in relation to any loan in British pounds (“GBP”); the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in relation to any loan in euros (“EUR”); or the Bank Bill Swap Rate (“BBSW”) in relation to any loan in Australian dollars (“AUD”). As a result of the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), our Credit Facility was amended to incorporate the SOFR as the successor rate to USD LIBOR and the SONIA as the successor rate to GBP LIBOR. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is also based on our long-term credit rating. Under the Credit Facility, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in, and there were no outstanding borrowings under, the Credit Facility. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 16, 2024.
Note 9 — Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were as follows:

Effective tax rate | 124.2 | % | 36.1 | % | 53.6 | % | 29.8 | % |
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were impacted by a decrease in pre-tax book income with a significant increase in the disallowed noncontrolling interest loss from a certain seeded investment product, as a result of the consolidation of the fund during the second quarter 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $18.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits held for uncertain tax positions. We estimate that the existing liability for uncertain tax positions could decrease by up to $2.3 million within the next 12 months, without giving effect to changes in foreign currency translation.

Consolidated Seeded Investment Products
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests when there is an obligation to repurchase units at the investor’s request.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products may fluctuate from period to period and are impacted by changes in our relative ownership, changes in the amount of third-party investment in seeded products and volatility in the market value of the seeded products’ underlying securities. Third-party redemption of investments in any particular seeded product is redeemed from the respective product’s net assets and cannot be redeemed from the assets of our other seeded products or from our other assets.
As of June 30, 2022, our ownership percentage in a certain seeded investment product was greater than our VIE consolidation threshold, resulting in the consolidation of the fund, and is the primary driver of the significant increase in our redeemable noncontrolling interests balance.
The following table presents the movement in redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions):

Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
We are periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters. Although there can be no assurances, based on information currently available, we believe that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
With respect to the unaudited financial statements of Janus Henderson Group plc as of and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, appearing herein, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated July 28, 2022, appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on the unaudited financial statements. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial statements because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Janus Henderson Group plc
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Janus Henderson Group plc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and of changes in equity for the three-month and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 24, 2022, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2021 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, 2021, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under headings such as “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and in other filings or furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.

Business Overview
We are an independent global asset manager, specializing in active investment across all major asset classes. We actively manage a broad range of investment products for institutional and retail investors across four capabilities: Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset and Alternatives.
Segment Considerations
We are a global asset manager and manage a range of investment products, operating across various product lines, distribution channels and geographic regions. However, information is reported to the chief operating decision-maker, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), on an aggregated basis. Strategic and financial management decisions are determined centrally by our CEO and, on this basis, we operate as a single-segment investment management business.
24
Revenue
Revenue primarily consists of management fees and performance fees. Management fees are generally based on a percentage of the market value of our AUM and are calculated using either the daily, month-end or quarter-end average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Accordingly, fluctuations in the financial markets have a direct effect on our operating results. Additionally, our AUM may outperform or underperform the financial markets and, therefore, may fluctuate in varying degrees from that of the general market.
Performance fees are specified in certain fund and client contracts, and are based on investment performance either on an absolute basis or compared to an established index over a specified period of time. These fees are often subject to a hurdle rate. Performance fees are recognized at the end of the contractual period (typically monthly, quarterly or annually) if the stated performance criteria are achieved. Certain fund and client contracts allow for negative performance fees where there is underperformance against the relevant index.
SECOND QUARTER 2022 SUMMARY
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
● | On June 21, 2022, Ali Dibadj commenced his employment as our new CEO and was appointed to our Board of Directors. |
● | Solid long-term investment performance, with 50%, 60%, 65%, and 76% of our AUM outperforming relevant benchmarks on a one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. |
● | AUM decreased to $299.7 billion, down (17%) from March 31, 2022, due to challenged global markets, USD appreciation and net outflows. Net outflows of $7.8 billion reflect a significant slowdown in intermediary gross sales and investment underperformance in key strategies. |
● | Second quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share was $0.56, or $0.63 on an adjusted basis. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for information on adjusted non-GAAP figures. |
● | On July 27, 2022, the Board declared a $0.39 per share dividend for the second quarter 2022. |
● | During the second quarter 2022, we acquired 2.1 million shares of our common stock for $55.6 million as part of the share buyback program. |
Financial Summary
Results are reported on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted non-GAAP figures are presented in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
Revenue for the second quarter 2022 was $555.5 million, a decrease of $182.9 million, or (25%), compared to the second quarter 2021. Key drivers of the decrease include the following:
● | A decline of $90.5 million in management fees primarily due to the impact of lower average AUM. |
● | A decline of $80.8 million in performance fees primarily due to a reduction in performance fee crystallizations and an increase in negative mutual fund performance fees. |
Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2022 were $411.6 million, a decrease of $101.8 million, or (20%), compared to operating expenses in the second quarter 2021. Key drivers of the decrease include the following:
● | A decrease of $47.4 million in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to lower variable compensation charges. |
25
● | A decrease of $40.8 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges due to an impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021. |
Operating income for the second quarter 2022 was $143.9 million, a decrease of $81.1 million, or (36%), compared to the second quarter 2021. Our operating margin was 25.9% in the second quarter 2022 compared to 30.5% in the second quarter 2021.
Net income attributable to JHG in the second quarter 2022 was $93.9 million, a decrease of $43.4 million, or (32%), compared to the second quarter 2021. In addition to the aforementioned factors affecting revenue and operating expenses, key drivers of the decrease include the following:
● | An unfavorable movement of $111.2 million in investment gains, net in the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter 2021, partially offset by an improvement of $104.9 million in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2022, our ownership percentage in a certain seeded investment product was greater than our consolidation threshold, resulting in the consolidation of the fund, and is the primary driver of the significant movement within investment gains, net and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. |
● | A decrease of $43.0 million in our provision for income taxes primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income. |

Total |

Assets Under Management
Our AUM as of June 30, 2022, was $299.7 billion, a decrease of $132.6 billion, or (30.7%), from December 31, 2021, driven primarily by negative market movements of $73.7 billion and $28.3 billion due to the disposition of Intech. Net redemptions of $19.7 billion, or $14.0 billion when excluding Intech, also contributed to the decline in AUM.
Our non-USD AUM is primarily denominated in GBP, EUR, and AUD. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the USD strengthened against GBP, EUR, and AUD, resulting in a $8.9 billion and $10.9 billion decrease in our AUM, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 32.6% of our AUM was non-USD denominated.
VelocityShares exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and certain index products are not included within our AUM because we are not the named adviser or subadviser to ETNs or index products. VelocityShares ETN assets totaled $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. VelocityShares index product assets, not included within our AUM, totaled $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Valuation of Assets Under Management
The fair value of our AUM is based on the value of the underlying cash and investment securities of our funds, trusts and segregated mandates. A significant proportion of these securities is listed or quoted on a recognized securities exchange or market and is regularly traded thereon; these investments are valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices. However, for non-U.S. equity securities held by U.S. mutual funds, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), the quoted market prices may be adjusted to capture market movement between the time the local market closes and the NYSE closes. Other investments, including over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts (which are dealt in or through a clearing firm, exchanges or financial institutions), are valued by reference to the most recent official settlement price quoted by the appointed market vendor, and in the event no price is available from this source, a broker quotation may be used. Physical property held is valued monthly by a specialist independent appraiser.
When a readily ascertainable market value does not exist for an investment, the fair value is calculated using a variety of methodologies, including the expected cash flows of its underlying net asset base, taking into account applicable discount rates and other factors; comparable securities or relevant indices; recent financing rounds; revenue multiples; or a combination thereof. Judgment is used to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and to determine fair values when markets have become inactive. Our Fair Value Pricing Committee is responsible for determining or approving these unquoted prices, which are reported to those charged with governance of the funds and trusts. For funds that invest in markets that are closed at their valuation point, an assessment is made daily to determine whether a fair value pricing adjustment is required to the fund’s valuation. This may be due to significant market movements in other correlated open markets, scheduled market closures or unscheduled market closures as a result of natural disaster or government intervention.
Third-party administrators hold a key role in the collection and validation of prices used in the valuation of the securities. Daily price validation is completed using techniques such as day-on-day tolerance movements, invariant
29
prices, excessive movement checks and intra-vendor tolerance checks. Our data management team performs oversight of this process and completes annual due diligence on the processes of third parties.
In other cases, we and the sub-administrators perform a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity and fixed income securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant day-to-day price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer, and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by our fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to our traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.
We leverage the expertise of our fund management teams across the business to cross-invest assets and create value for our clients. Where cross investment occurs, assets and flows are identified, and the duplication is removed.
Results of Operations
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency translation impacts our Results of Operations. The translation of GBP to USD is the primary driver of foreign currency translation in expenses. The GBP weakened against the USD during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Meaningful foreign currency translation impacts to our operating expenses are discussed in the Operating Expenses section below. Revenue is also impacted by foreign currency translation, but the impact is generally determined by the primary currency of the individual funds.

Management fees
Management fees decreased by $90.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the impact of lower average AUM, which caused management fees to decline by $103.0 million. This decrease was partially offset by an improvement in management fee margins, which positively impacted the change in management fees by $9.2 million when comparing the aforementioned periods.
Management fees decreased by $91.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the impact of lower average AUM, which caused management fees to decline by $94.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
30
Performance fees
Performance fees are derived across a number of product ranges. U.S. mutual fund performance fees are recognized on a monthly basis, while all other product range performance fees are recognized on a quarterly or annual basis. The investment management fees paid by each U.S. mutual fund subject to a performance fee is the base management fee plus or minus a performance fee adjustment, as determined by the relative investment performance of the fund compared to a specified benchmark index. Performance fees by product type consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions):
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, performance fees decreased $80.8 million and $106.2 million when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a decline in performance fee crystallizations within Société d’Investissement À Capital Variable (“SICAV”) and UK Open Ended Investment Companies (“OEICs”), and an increase in negative performance fees associated with U.S. mutual funds.
Shareowner servicing fees
Shareowner servicing fees are primarily composed of mutual fund servicing fees, which are driven by AUM. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, shareowner servicing fees decreased $7.7 million and $6.1 million when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in average AUM.
Other revenue
Other revenue is primarily composed of 12b-1 distribution fees, general administration charges and other fee revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, other revenue decreased $3.9 million and $3.2 million when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in 12b-1 distribution fees and servicing fees, and lower general administration charges driven by a decline in average AUM.

Employee compensation and benefits
Employee compensation and benefits decreased by $47.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by a decrease of $44.1 million in variable compensation, mainly due to a lower annual bonus, and favorable foreign currency translation of $10.0 million, partially offset by $6.2 million of annual base-pay increases.
Employee compensation and benefits decreased by $57.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by a decrease of $62.2 million in variable compensation, mainly due to a lower annual bonus, and favorable foreign currency translation of $12.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by $12.4 million of annual base-pay increases and a $5.0 million increase in fixed compensation costs, due to higher headcount.
Long-term incentive plans
Long-term incentive plan expenses decreased by $9.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by a $15.3 million decrease mainly due to market declines related to mutual fund share awards and certain long-term incentive awards, favorable foreign currency translation of $2.2 million, and $2.0 million in lower payroll taxes on vested awards. These decreases were partially offset by $10.4 million for the roll-on of new awards exceeding the roll-off of vested awards and the acceleration of expense related to departed employees.
Long-term incentive plan expenses decreased by $11.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by a $31.8 million decrease mainly due to market declines related to mutual fund share awards and certain long-term incentive awards, favorable foreign currency translation of $3.1 million, and $1.9 million in lower payroll taxes on vested awards. These decreases were partially offset by $25.6 million for the roll-on of new awards exceeding the roll-off of vested awards and acceleration of expense mainly due to the retirement of our CEO and Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”).
Distribution expenses
Distribution expenses are paid to financial intermediaries for the distribution and servicing of our retail investment products and are typically calculated based on the amount of the intermediary-sourced AUM. Distribution expenses decreased by $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended
32
June 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in average AUM subject to distribution charges, partially offset by the timing of adjustments to distribution expenses.
Distribution expenses increased by $7.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the timing of adjustments, partially offset by a decrease in average AUM subject to distribution charges.
Investment administration
Investment administration expenses, which represent back-office operations (including fund administration and fund accounting), decreased by $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in fund accounting expenses and favorable foreign currency translation of $1.0 million.
Investment administration expenses decreased by $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to favorable foreign currency translation of $1.3 million, partially offset by an $0.8 million increase in fund accounting expenses.
Marketing
Marketing expenses increased by $1.1 million and $2.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to an increase in marketing events, sponsorships and advertising campaigns.
General, administrative and occupancy
General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases of $4.0 million in information technology costs, driven by an increased investment in non-capitalizable hardware and software, and $3.3 million in higher travel and entertainment expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $16.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases of $6.9 million in information technology costs, driven by an increased investment in non-capitalizable hardware and software, $4.7 million in travel and entertainment expenditures, $3.6 million in consultancy fees related to certain project costs, and $2.4 million in market data expenses due to new data subscriptions during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges decreased by $40.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to a $40.8 million impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges decreased by $11.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a $32.8 million out-of-period incremental impairment of our goodwill recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by a $40.8 million impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets, and a $3.6 million impairment of the Perkins brand name recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.4 million and $3.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a reduction in the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the sale of Intech as well as a decrease in the amortization of internally developed software as assets were retired or became fully amortized during the current year.

The components of investment gains (losses), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were as follows (in millions):
Investment gains (losses), net moved unfavorably by $111.2 million and $145.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Movements in investment gains (losses), net are primarily due to consolidation of third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products and fair value adjustments in relation to our seeded investment products. Gains and losses attributable to third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products are noncontrolling interests and are not included in net income attributable to JHG.
Other non-operating expenses, net
Other non-operating expenses, net improved $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable foreign currency translation when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2022, to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Other non-operating expenses, net declined $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a loss of $9.1 million related to the sale of Intech recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This loss was partially offset by $3.8 million of favorable foreign currency translation when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022, to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Income tax provision
Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were as follows:

Effective tax rate | 124.2 | % | 36.1 | % | 53.6 | % | 29.8 | % |
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were impacted by a decrease in pre-tax book income with a significant increase in the disallowed noncontrolling interest loss from a certain seeded investment product, as a result of the consolidation of the fund during the second quarter 2022.
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests
The components of net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were as follows (in millions):
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests improved by $104.9 million and $117.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Movements in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily relate to third-party ownership interests in consolidated seeded investment products and fair value adjustments in relation to our seeded investment products.
Outlook for the Remainder of 2022
Our philosophy of maintaining strong financial discipline while reinvesting in the business to drive long-term growth continues in 2022, despite the current challenges we see in the market. Current areas of focus for reinvestment include distribution, technology and investments. Non-compensation operating expenses are expected to increase to the low- to mid-single digits, on a percentage basis, while adjusted compensation to revenue ratio is expected to be in the ratio range of 44% to 45% in 2022. In addition, we expect the sale of Intech to have an insignificant effect on our revenue and expenses for the remainder of 2022.
Performance fees are expected to continue to deteriorate in the second half of 2022. At current performance levels, we estimate that aggregate performance fees for 2022 could range from $35.0 million to $45.0 million negative, which includes U.S. mutual fund performance of approximately negative $60.0 million.
With the flow trends we have seen in the first half of 2022, and the market volatility expected to continue through at least the end of the year, we anticipate flows to remain negative in the near-term. Average AUM in the second quarter 2022 was 9% higher than closing AUM. If AUM remained flat during the third quarter 2022, management fees will likely be 9% lower than second quarter 2022 management fees.
35
We also anticipate certain macroeconomic headwinds for the remainder of 2022, including volatile and potentially declining markets, rising interest rates, inflation and the Russia/Ukraine conflict which could have an adverse impact to our revenue and expenses.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, JHG management evaluates our profitability and our ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. 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. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. We have provided a reconciliation below of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Alternative performance measures
The following is a reconciliation of revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income attributable to JHG and diluted earnings per share to adjusted revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to JHG and adjusted diluted earnings per share, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions, except per share and operating margin data):

(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 servicing 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 fee. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by us are not deducted from GAAP revenue. |
(2) | Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2022, consist primarily of long-term incentive plan expense acceleration related to the departure of certain employees and rent expense for subleased office space. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2021, consist primarily of rent expense for subleased office space. 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. In addition, the adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2021, includes an impairment charge of certain mutual fund investment management agreements. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of 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 primarily relate to contingent consideration adjustments associated with prior acquisitions. In addition, the adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2022, includes accumulated foreign currency translation expense related to liquidated JHG entities. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. |
(7) | The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible. |
(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. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our capital structure, together with available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, and further capital and credit market activities, if necessary, should provide us with sufficient resources to meet present and future cash needs, including operating and other obligations as they fall due and anticipated future capital requirements.
38
The following table summarizes key balance sheet data relating to our liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash at banks held in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents exclude cash held by consolidated VIEs and consolidated VREs, and investment securities exclude noncontrolling interests as these assets are not available for general corporate purposes.
Investment securities held by us represent seeded investment products (exclusive of noncontrolling interests), investments related to deferred compensation plans and other less significant investments.
We believe that existing cash and cash from operations should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, interest expense, dividend payments, income tax payments and common stock repurchases. We may also use available cash for other general corporate purposes and acquisitions.
Regulatory Capital
We are subject to regulatory oversight by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and other international regulatory bodies. We strive to ensure that we are compliant with our regulatory obligations at all times. Our primary capital requirement relates to the FCA-supervised regulatory group (a sub-group of our company), comprising Janus Henderson (UK) Holdings Limited, all of its subsidiaries and Janus Henderson Investors International Limited (“JHIIL”). JHIIL is included as a connected undertaking to meet the requirements of the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) for MiFID investment firms (“MIFIDPRU”). The combined capital requirement is £204.2 million ($248.0 million), resulting in £259.4 million ($315.0 million) of capital above the requirement as of June 30, 2022, based upon internal calculations and taking into account the effect of dividends related to first quarter 2022 results that were paid in the second quarter 2022. Capital requirements in other jurisdictions are not significant in aggregate. The FCA-supervised regulatory group is also subject to liquidity requirements and holds a sufficient surplus above these requirements.
Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Common Stock Repurchases
On May 3, 2022, the Board approved a new on-market share buyback program (“2022 Corporate Buyback Program”) pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock on the NYSE and CHESS Depository Interests (“CDIs”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) at any time prior to the date of our 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. We commenced repurchases under the 2022 Corporate Buyback Program in May 2022, and during the two months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,129,609 shares of common stock and CDIs for $55.6 million.
Some of our executives and employees obtain rights to receive our common stock as part of their remuneration arrangements and employee entitlements. We usually satisfy these entitlements by transferring shares of existing common stock that we repurchase on-market for this purpose. We purchased 114,321 shares at an average price of $28.07 in satisfaction of employee awards and entitlements during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
39
Dividends
The payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and legal requirements.
Dividends declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were as follows:
On July 27, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a $0.39 per share dividend for the second quarter 2022. The quarterly dividend will be paid on August 24, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 8, 2022.
Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Expected long-term commitments as of June 30, 2022, include principal and interest payments related to the 2025 Senior Notes and operating and finance lease payments. We expect to fund our long-term commitments with existing cash and cash generated from operations or by accessing capital and credit markets as necessary.
2025 Senior Notes
The 2025 Senior Notes have a principal amount of $300.0 million, pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and mature on August 1, 2025.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The latest triennial valuation of our defined benefit pension plan resulted in a surplus of $2.4 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, we have an $8.0 million unfunded loan commitment with Intech, which is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2 — Dispositions for further information on the loan commitment.
Other Sources of Liquidity
At June 30, 2022, we had a $200 million Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to request an increase to our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $50.0 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 16, 2024. Additionally, as a result of LIBOR’s phase-out, our credit facility was amended to incorporate other short-term borrowing rates. Specifically, the SOFR was designated as the successor rate to USD LIBOR and the SONIA was designated as the successor rate to GBP LIBOR.
The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the relevant interbank offer rate plus a spread.
The Credit Facility contains a financial covenant with respect to leverage. The financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At the latest practicable date before the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Cash inflows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily due to cash received from the settlement of hedges related to our seed capital hedge program and net sales of investment securities by consolidated seeded investment products. When comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022, to the six months ended June 30, 2021, the change in cash provided by (used for) investing activities was primarily due to increases in net sales of investment securities by consolidated seeded investment products and cash received from the settlement of hedges related to our seed capital hedge program.

Cash outflows from financing activities were $350.7 million and $384.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash outflows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily due to dividends paid to shareholders, purchases of common stock related to the share buyback program and for stock-based compensation plans, and net third-party purchases of securities within consolidated seeded investment products. When comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022, to the six months ended June 30, 2021, the change in cash used for financing activities was primarily due to an increase in third-party purchases in consolidated seeded investment products and purchases of common stock for stock-based compensation plans. These increases were primarily offset by the purchase of common stock from Dai-ichi Life, as part of the Dai-ichi Life secondary public offering, which was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2022, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by us to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC. Ali Dibadj, our Chief Executive Officer, and Roger Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Dibadj and Mr. Thompson concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1
SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Suzanne Cain (“you” or “your”) and Janus Henderson Investors US LLC (“Employer” and together with you, “Parties”) sets forth in its entirety the terms and conditions of the Parties’ agreement related to the termination of your employment with Employer.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” includes Janus Henderson Investors US LLC and any company related to Janus Henderson Investors US LLC, in the past or present (including, without limitation Janus Henderson Group plc, Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., and Janus Henderson Distributors US LLC); the past and present officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives of any entity within Employer; any present or past employee benefit plan sponsored by any entity within Employer and/or the officers, directors, trustees, administrators, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives of any such plan; and any person who acted on behalf of any entity within Employer or on instruction from any entity within Employer.
1. | Termination Date and Role. You will be leaving Employer effective July 15, 2022 (the “Termination Date”). All communications regarding the separation by either Party, with the exception of those required by law or regulation, shall take the form of, or be materially consistent with a statement reviewed by you and Employer (“Statement”), a copy of which will be attached hereto as Exhibit B upon effectiveness of this Agreement. |
a. | Until the Termination Date, you will continue to serve as Global Head of Distribution, with duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with such title and/or as may reasonably be assigned to you by the Chief Executive Officer or Interim Chief Executive Officer, or such other person as designated by Employer. Until the Termination Date, and excluding any periods of disability, vacation and sick leave to which you are entitled, you agree to devote your attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of Employer as reasonably directed or specified by Employer, and to use your reasonable best efforts to perform such responsibilities to the extent necessary to discharge your responsibilities hereunder. |
b. | You and Employer acknowledge and agree many of your principal responsibilities may be transferred to other Employer employees, and that, therefore, your day-to-day job functions may change substantially as the period progresses until the Termination Date. You and Employer also acknowledge and agree that while you will remain a member of Employer’s senior executive team and in that capacity will be required and expected to perform only executive level job functions, it may be inappropriate or unnecessary to include you in all executive team meetings that Employer may conduct. |
c. | As of the Termination Date, you shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions with Employer, with any fund or account managed by Employer, and all affiliates thereof, including without limitation, employment, directorships, non-executive roles, officers and committee memberships. You agree to take all actions deemed |
Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
reasonably necessary by Employer to effectuate or evidence such resignations. Thereafter, you shall not be deemed an employee of Employer or any affiliate or fund, and except as provided in this Agreement shall not be entitled to participate in any Employer benefit program of any kind. |
b. | Upon providing the Employer with verification of you and your dependents enrollment in the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), the Employer will establish a COBRA subsidy to directly pay the monthly cost on your behalf for up to 12 months following your Termination Date, provided such payments are permitted by law. In the event that you are no longer covered by COBRA during the 12 months following your Termination Date, the Employer will terminate any remaining subsidy payments. You are responsible for any payment of taxes, interest and/or penalty resulting from this subsidy. |
2
Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
You acknowledge that the foregoing payments and benefits, set forth in the subparagraph(s) above are more than you might otherwise have received had you not signed this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that these payments and benefits constitute adequate legal consideration for the promises and representations made by you in this Agreement.
4. | Janus 401(k), Profit Sharing and Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This Agreement shall not diminish or otherwise affect your vested rights under the Janus Capital Group 401(k), Profit Sharing and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The Parties expressly agree that after the Termination Date, no Employer Entity shall make any contribution on your behalf to the Plan, excepting only such contributions as are expressly required by the terms of the Plan. |
5. | Expense Reimbursement. Employer shall reimburse you for your reasonable and authorized business expenses related to your employment with Employer through the Termination Date, consistent with Employer’s policies, and conditioned on your presentation to Employer, before the Effective Date (defined below), of documentation verifying such expenses. |
6. | Taxes. You agree that it shall be your exclusive obligation to pay all amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due and owing by you as taxes, interest and penalties arising out of the payments and benefits set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 above. You shall defend and indemnify Employer from and against any claim (including legal fees and costs) for tax liability that Employer may incur as a result of taxes owed by you, as a result of consideration provided to you pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Agreement. This provision does not extend to any deductions and withholdings required by law to be made by Employer. Vesting of the deferred portion of the 2022 Award will be reported on applicable federal and state Forms W-2 and will be paid in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll processes and state reporting requirements as determined by Employer. |
7. | References. In response to requests for references from prospective employers, Employer will provide only the dates of your employment and positions held and may refer parties to public statements made in accordance with the Statement. |
8. | Consideration for Payments and Benefits. In consideration for the payments and benefits described in paragraph 2, you agree to the following: |
a. | Assent and Release: |
i. | You agree that you have entered into this Agreement on a purely voluntary basis, you understand it, and, in consideration for the provision of the payments and benefits described in paragraph 2, you further agree to, and do hereby, release Employer together with its respective present or former members, managers, officers, directors, employees, owners, parent companies, subsidiaries, representatives, insurers, successors, assigns, counsel, |

Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
shareholders and agents (each an “Employer Party”), from any and all claims, lawsuits, damages and/or liabilities whatsoever (including, but not limited to, claims of employment discrimination under federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or executive orders) arising out of or in connection with your employment relationship with Employer and/or he conclusion of said relationship or otherwise. The agreements set forth in this paragraph are effective, and the Agreement itself is effective, as of the date which is eight (8) days after you sign this Agreement, provided this Agreement has not been revoked by you as of that time (the “Effective Date”). |
ii. | You expressly acknowledge and agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you are waiving any and all rights or claims that you may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act of 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Federal False Claims Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, the Colorado Civil Rights Act, the Colorado Labor Peace Act, and the common law of the State of Colorado, for compensation, damages, tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, breach of an express or implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, attorneys’ fees, defamation or injuries incurred on the job or incurred as a result of loss of employment, or any other claim as of the date you execute this Agreement. The agreements set forth in this paragraph are effective upon the Effective Date. |
iii. | You acknowledge that, by signing this Agreement, you are releasing and waiving, among other things, claims which you do not know or suspect to exist through the date of your execution of this Agreement, including claims, which if known by you, might have affected your decision to enter into this Agreement. You are not waiving any rights to claims that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed. |
iv. | This Agreement shall not be construed to waive or release your rights under Employer’s employee benefit plans applicable to you as of the Termination Date, nor shall this Agreement and Release be construed to waive any rights you may have to apply for and collect unemployment benefits. |
4
Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
extend to any future claims relating to your employment prior to your Termination Date. |
vi. | You agree and acknowledge that you will not be entitled to any monetary or equitable relief or remedies pursuant to any claims referenced or released by this paragraph 8. If you or an attorney acting on your behalf files any civil action in any court or files any charge or complaint with an administrative agency, asserting any claims against Employer or any Employer Party, and seeking personal relief or remedies for you, this Agreement may be used by Employer or any Employer Party as a complete defense to your claims and the personal relief or remedies. You shall be obligated to pay all costs, expenses, and attorney fees incurred by Employer or any Employer Party in defending against your claims in any such court action or agency, and tender back any monies paid pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit either Party from bringing an action to enforce this Agreement or prohibit you from filing a timely charge or complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC, although by signing this Agreement you waive and relinquish any right to personal recovery of any type or personal injunctive relief in connection with any such charge or complaint. |
b. | Additional Acknowledgements. You further expressly acknowledge and agree that: |
i.You have no current entitlement to the payments and benefits described in paragraph 2 of this Agreement, and therefore, in exchange for waiving and releasing any claims or rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and/or other statutes, laws, rules or executive orders described in this Agreement, you will receive compensation and benefits beyond that which you were entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement.
ii.To the extent permitted by law and except with respect to your attorney, your financial advisor, or your spouse, as noted in paragraph 11 below, you will keep all terms of this Agreement confidential.
iii.You hereby are advised by Employer in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement.
iv.You have 21 days from the receipt of this Agreement to decide whether to agree to it. To accept the Agreement, you must sign it and return it to Tiphani Krueger, HR, Janus Henderson Investors, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, CO 80206 by close of business on the 21st day after you received this Agreement. If Employer has not received a signed Agreement by that time, any offer herein to make the payments and provide the benefits described in paragraph 2 will automatically expire and no longer be available to you. By executing, dating and returning this Agreement to Employer prior to the end of the 21-day period, you will be voluntarily waiving this 21-day review period. You also agree that changes in this Agreement will not restart the running of the 21-day period.
5
Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
v.You have seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke it. The release agreed to in this Agreement will not be effective until the 7-day period has expired, and the payments and benefits described in paragraph 2 will not be paid until expiration of the 7-day period following execution and effectiveness of the Supplemental Release. To revoke this Agreement, you must provide written notice of revocation to Tiphani Krueger, HR, Janus Henderson Investors, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, CO 80206, no later than close of business on the seventh day after you sign this Agreement. If you revoke this Agreement, it will not become effective or enforceable and you will not receive the payments and benefits described in paragraph 2.
vi. Reaffirmation. You and Employer agree to execute the attached Supplemental Release on or within twenty-one days after the Termination Date in order to extend and reaffirm the promises and covenants made by you in this Agreement, including but not limited to the waiver and release of all claims. If you fail to execute the Supplemental Release on or within twenty-one days after the Termination Date or if you timely revoke the acceptance of the Supplemental Release, you shall not receive the payment and benefits set forth in paragraph 2.
10. | No Claims Assigned. By signing this Agreement, you warrant that you have not assigned or transferred to any person any portion of any claims which are released, waived and discharged in paragraph 8. |
6
Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
would be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, if you violate paragraph 11, you shall be liable to Employer for liquidated damages, not a penalty, in the amount of $25,000 for each violation. |
12. | Non-Disclosure. You agree that, at all times from the date of this Agreement, you will hold and treat as confidential any and all Confidential Information provided to you by or which you obtained from Employer or any person or entity affiliated with Employer during your employment regarding any aspect of the business of Employer or any entity affiliated with Employer. |

Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
13. | Non-Solicitation. You acknowledge that your role as a senior executive of Employer creates a relationship of confidence and trust between you and Employer, any parent company, affiliate or subsidiary (each, a “Janus Entity” and collectively, the “Janus Entities”), with respect to confidential and proprietary information applicable to the business of the Janus Entities and their clients. You further acknowledge the highly competitive nature of the business of the Janus Entities. To protect Employer’s trade secrets and Confidential Information, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, you shall not, without Employer’s prior written consent, for any reason, directly or indirectly, either alone or jointly with or on behalf of any other person, firm or company (i) solicit the services of, hire, or endeavor to entice away from a Janus Entity for which you worked in the period of 12 months prior to the Termination Date, any director, employee or consultant of the Janus Entity with whom you worked or had dealings during the course of your employment; or (ii) solicit, canvass, approach or accept any approach from any Customer of a Janus Entity with a view to obtain their custom or supply for a Competitor. For purposes of this paragraph, “Customer” means any person, firm or company which at or within a period of two years prior to the Termination Date has done business with a Janus Entity as a customer, client or supplier, or which the Janus Entity is or was in the process of negotiating with a view to such person, firm or company becoming a customer, client or supplier, and with whom you worked or had dealings with in the course of your employment and with whom or which you first had contact or otherwise developed a relationship while employed by Employer; and “Competitor” means an actual or prospective competitor of any business carried on by the Janus Entity in which you worked at any time during the period of one year prior to the Termination Date and with whom or which you first had contact or otherwise developed a relationship while employed by Employer. |

You agree that, except with the written consent of Employer, you have returned or will immediately return all Employer property in your possession and control, including all keys, access cards, policy and procedures manuals, software, computers, tablets, hardware, cell phones, disks, files, electronic files or other materials (including, without limitation, those documents, electronic files or other materials that Employer or an Employer Party has designated as confidential, proprietary or privileged, or which by their nature should be recognized as such). If you later learn that you have any Employer property, you agree that you will promptly notify Employer and make arrangements to immediately return all such property, except as allowed with Employer’s written consent. Failure to timely return property belonging to Employer may cause Employer to offset the value of such property or the costs of replacing such property against any remaining payments to which you are otherwise entitled under this Agreement. |

Separation Agreement – Suzanne Cain
16. | Cooperation with Litigation or Other Legal Matters. You acknowledge that you may have factual information or knowledge that may be useful to Employer in connection with current or future legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings. You will cooperate to a reasonable extent with Employer in the defense or prosecution of any such claims. Your cooperation shall include being reasonably available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to testify truthfully as a witness. Employer will not compensate you for testifying as a fact witness, but it may reimburse you for reasonable expenses associated with travel, meals, lodging, or other out-of-pocket expenses. |
17. | Injunctive and Other Relief. You agree and acknowledge that any violation of any provision of paragraphs 8-14 of this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement that will cause irreparable harm to Employer. Therefore, you agree that any such breach or threatened breach by you shall give Employer the right to specific performance through injunctive relief, without the need for Employer to prove irreparable harm, requiring you to comply with your obligations under this Agreement in addition to any other relief or damages allowed by law. In addition, if Employer has reason to seek injunctive or other legal relief to enforce any provision of paragraphs 8-14, it may suspend any payments or other consideration otherwise payable to you at that time and may seek recovery of any payments or other consideration already paid to you. Any suspension of the payments or other consideration to be paid, or any recovery of paid payments or other paid consideration, shall not void your release of claims under this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. |
18. | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. The Parties agree that any such invalid provision may be modified by an arbitrator or court in such a manner as to be enforced to the maximum extent possible to effectuate the intentions of the Parties hereto. However, should a court of competent jurisdiction declare the waiver and release of claims contained herein to be invalid or unenforceable, you agree to execute a valid waiver and release of claims or to return in full within 10 days of such declaration all payments and benefits provided to you pursuant to paragraph 2, at Employer’s election. |
19. | Colorado Laws and Jurisdiction; Dispute Forum. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any and all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Employer or any and all Employer Parties or Janus Entities, including but not limited to those arising out of or related to this Agreement, shall be tried only in the state or federal courts situated in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. Such claims, disputes or controversies shall be tried to a court without a jury. |
20. | No Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the Party waiving the breach. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement. |

23. | Entirety. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and, unless stated otherwise, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof. No amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties. |

(c) | Each participating Employee shall have no interest or voting rights in Shares covered an Award until the Award has been exercised and the Employee has become a holder of record of the purchased Shares. |
This Plan shall be administered by the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board (consisting of not less than three members of the Board who are not eligible to participate in this Plan and one of whom shall be designated as Chairman of such committee) to administer the Plan (the “Committee”). The Committee is vested with full authority to make, administer and interpret such equitable rules and regulations regarding this Plan, to make amendments to the Plan itself, as it may deem advisable, delegate its administrative authority subject to applicable law, and implement minimum and maximum contribution rates. Its determinations as to the interpretation and operation of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. If no Committee is appointed by the Board to administer the Plan, or if the Board exercises its discretion to administer any aspect of the Plan, any references herein to “Committee” shall be deemed to also refer to the Board, as applicable. The Committee may appoint and delegate to a management committee consisting of one or more persons designated by resolution of the Committee any or all of the authority of the Committee, as applicable, with respect to Awards to Employees other than Employees who are Section 16 Persons at the time any such delegated authority is exercised.
On each Offering Date, this Plan shall be deemed to have granted to the Employee an Award to purchase as many Shares (which may include a fractional Share) as the Employee will be able to purchase with the after-tax payroll deductions credited to the Employee’s Account during Employee’s participation in that Offering Period (subject to the limitations set forth below and Section 3). The Committee in its sole discretion may establish limits on the number of Shares an Employee may elect to purchase with respect to any Offering Period.
An Employee may become a participant by completing the prescribed Enrollment Agreement and submitting such form to the Company, or with such other entity designated by the Company for this purpose, prior to the commencement of the Offering to which it relates. The Enrollment Agreement may be completed at any time
3
after the Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, and will be effective as of the Offering Date next following the receipt of a properly completed Enrollment Agreement by the Company (or the Company’s designee).
At the termination of each Offering, each participating Employee who continues to be eligible to participate shall be automatically re-enrolled in the next Offering, unless the Employee has withdrawn from the Plan in accordance with Section 9 or is otherwise ineligible to participate in the next Offering. Upon a termination of the Plan as a whole, any balance in Employee’s Account shall be refunded to him or her as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company may require current participants to complete and submit a new Enrollment Agreement at any time it deems necessary or desirable to facilitate Plan administration or for any other reason.
(a) | At the time an Employee submits his or her authorization for an after-tax payroll deduction, he or she shall elect to have a designated percentage or dollar amount of Eligible Compensation deducted on an after tax basis on each payday during the time Employee is a participant in an Offering. Employee may withdraw his or her initial Enrollment Agreement before the Offering Period commences by submitting the prescribed withdrawal notice to the Company (or the Company’s designee) prior to the Offering Date for such Offering Period. |
(b) | With respect to any Offering, the minimum after-tax payroll deduction shall be twenty-five dollars ($25) per semi-monthly payroll period and fifty dollars ($50) per monthly payroll period. The maximum after-tax payroll deduction shall not exceed twenty thousand and forty dollars ($20,040) per calendar year or such other amount as may be designated by the Committee. |
(c) | After-tax payroll deductions for an Employee shall commence on the Offering Date (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter) and shall continue through subsequent Offerings pursuant to Section 7. All after-tax payroll deductions made by an Employee shall be credited to Employee’s Account under the Plan. An Employee may not make any separate cash payment into such Account. |
(d) | An Employee may elect to increase or decrease the rate of his or her after-tax payroll deduction during an Offering Period by submitting the prescribed notification form to the Company (or the Company’s designee) at any time prior to the first day of the last calendar month of such Offering Period. Such adjustment to Employee’s after-tax payroll deduction will be effective as soon as administratively practicable thereafter and will remain in effect for successive Offerings unless participation is earlier withdrawn by Employee as provided in Section 9 or until Employee’s termination of employment or Employee is otherwise ineligible to participate in the next Offering Period. |
(e) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may adjust Employee’s after-tax payroll deductions at any time during an Offering Period to the extent necessary to comply with any limitations established in accordance with Section 5 or any other specific country limitation. To the extent any such limitations are established and the Company adjusts Employee’s after-tax payroll deductions, beginning with the next calendar year’s first Offering, after-tax payroll deductions will recommence and be made in accordance with the Outstanding Election prior to such Company adjustment, unless the Employee withdraws in accordance with Section 9 or is otherwise ineligible to participate in such Offering. |
(a) | An Employee may withdraw from an Offering after the applicable Offering Date, at any time prior to the first day of the last calendar month of such Offering Period by submitting the prescribed withdrawal notice to the Company (or the Company’s designee). If an Employee withdraws from |
4
an Offering, the Company will purchase Shares on behalf of the Employee on the Purchase Date based on the amount of after-tax payroll deductions accrued in the Employee’s Account at the time of withdrawal. |
(b) | The Employee’s withdrawal from a particular Offering shall be irrevocable. If an Employee wishes to participate in a subsequent Offering, he or she will be required to re-enroll in the Plan by making a timely filing of a new Enrollment Agreement in accordance with Section 6. |
(a) | Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan shall be made in installments through periodic after-tax payroll deductions, with no right of prepayment. Each Employee electing to purchase Shares shall authorize the withholding from his or her pay on an after-tax basis for each payroll period during the Offering Period the percentage or dollar amount of Eligible Compensation. Such deductions shall be in uniform periodic amounts in conformity with his or her employer’s payroll deduction schedule (subject to adjustments made in accordance with this Plan). The amount of each Employee’s after-tax payroll deductions shall be credited to such Employee’s Account. |
(b) | If in any payroll period, an Employee has no pay or his or her pay is insufficient (after other authorized deductions) to permit deduction of the full amount of his or her installment payment, then (i) the installment payment for such payroll period shall be reduced to the amount of pay remaining, if any, after all other authorized deductions, and (ii) the percentage or dollar amount of Eligible Compensation shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of the reduction in the installment payment for such payroll period. Deductions of the full amount originally elected by Employee will recommence when his or her pay is sufficient to permit such deductible amount; provided, however, no additional amounts will be deducted to satisfy the Outstanding Election. |
No interest shall be paid on sums withheld from an Employee’s pay for purchase of Shares under this Plan.
An Employee will become a stockholder with respect to Shares that are purchased pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan when such Shares are transferred into an Employee’s name on the books and records of the Company. Ownership of Shares purchased under the Plan will be entered on the books and records of the Company as soon as administratively practicable after payment for the Shares has been received in full by the Company. Shares purchased under the Plan will be issued as soon as practicable after an Employee becomes a stockholder. An Employee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares for which an election to purchase has been made under the Plan until such Employee becomes a stockholder as provided above.
An Employee’s rights under his or her election to purchase Shares under this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner. If an Employee’s rights are sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in violation of this Section 13, the right to purchase Shares of the Employee guilty of such violation shall terminate, and the only right remaining under such Employee’s election to purchase will be to receive a refund of the amount then credited to the Employee’s Account.
(a) | Events Constituting a Deemed Cancellation. |
(i) | Leave of Absence, Layoff or Temporarily Out of Active Service. An Employee purchasing Shares under the Plan who is granted an unpaid leave of absence, is laid off, or otherwise |
5
temporarily out of Active Service during the Offering Period without terminating employment shall be eligible to remain a participant in the Plan during such absence, for a period of no longer than ninety (90) days or, if longer, so long as the Employee’s right to reemployment with his or her employer is guaranteed either by statute or contract (but not beyond the last day of the Offering Period). The provisions of Section 10 shall apply if the Employee has no pay or his or her pay is insufficient (after other authorized deductions) to cover the required installment payments during such absence. If an Employee does not return to Active Service upon the expiration of his or her leave of absence or lay-off or, in any event, within ninety (90) days from the date of his or her leaving Active Service (unless the Employee’s right to reemployment with his or her employer is guaranteed either by statute or contract), his or her election to purchase shall be deemed to have been cancelled on the ninety-first (91st) day after such Employee’s leaving Active Service. |
(ii) | Termination of Employment. If, before an Employee has completed payment for Shares under the Plan, (a) he or she resigns, is dismissed or transferred to an entity other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity thereof, or (b) if the entity by which he or she is employed should cease to be a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity of the Company, then his or her election to purchase shall be deemed to have been cancelled at that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion may in lieu of such deemed cancellation specify that there shall be a “Substitution or Assumption” (and not a deemed cancellation) of an election to purchase if the Committee determines that a company or entity and the Company have made satisfactory arrangements for such company or entity to substitute a new option for the Award under such election to purchase, or to assume such Award under such election to purchase, by reason of a transaction (A) that is a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation, as defined in Section 424(a) of the Code and regulations thereunder (including a spin-off, split-up or similar transaction), (B) pursuant to which the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the new option immediately after the Substitution or Assumption over the aggregate option price of such shares is not more than the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Shares subject to the Award immediately before the Substitution or Assumption over the aggregate option price of such Shares, and (C) pursuant to which the new option or the assumption of the Award does not give the Employee additional benefits which he or she did not have under the Award or otherwise delay the Purchase Date beyond the end of the applicable Offering Period then in effect. |
(iii) | Death of a Participant. If an Employee dies before he or she has completed payment for Shares under the Plan, his or her election to purchase Shares shall be deemed to have been cancelled on the date of death. As soon as administratively practicable after the death of an Employee, the amount then credited to the Employee’s Account shall be paid in cash to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Employee on a beneficiary designation form filed with the Company before such Employee’s death or, in the absence of an effective beneficiary designation, to the executor, administrator or other legal representative of the Employee’s estate. |
(b) | Terms and Conditions of a Deemed Cancellation. In the event that an Employee’s election to purchase Shares is deemed to be cancelled as defined above in this Section 14, the Employee shall be withdrawn from Plan participation and cease to be a participant, and the Company will refund in cash the Employee’s entire Account balance for such Offering as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. |
(c) | Terms and Conditions of a Substitution or Assumption. If the Committee determines under Section 14(a)(ii) of the Plan to provide a Substitution or Assumption of Awards granted hereunder, the Employee shall have no further rights under this Plan and the Employee’s rights, if any, to his or her Account or to purchase any property in lieu of Shares shall be governed exclusively by the |
6
arrangements effecting such Substitution or Assumption including any stock purchase plan of the company or entity substituting a new option for an Award or assuming an existing Award. |
All funds received by the Company in payment for Shares purchased under this Plan and held by the Company at any time may be used for any valid corporate purpose.
Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, nor any provision of the Plan itself, shall be construed so as to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity thereof for any period of specific duration, and such person’s employment may be terminated at any time, with or without cause.
Except where prohibited by law, the Awards and (the value of) any Shares issuable under the Plan are not to be considered a part of the participating Employee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculation of severance, resignation, redundancy or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, or damages related to termination (including wrongful dismissal or the manner of dismissal).
17. | Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution |
(a) | Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves as well as the number of Shares and price per Share covered by each Award under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased per Employee on any Purchase Date, shall be equitably adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, make provision for adjusting the Reserves as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award and the maximum number of shares that may be purchased per participant on any Purchase Date, in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock. |
(b) | Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. |
This Plan and any Offering and sales to Employees under it are subject to, and contingent upon, any governmental or regulatory approvals or consents that may be or become applicable in connection therewith. The Committee may terminate or amend the plan the Plan at any time, subject to Company stockholder approval where required, and may make such amendments to the Plan and include such terms in any Offering under this Plan as may be necessary or desirable, including, but not limited to, such changes as may be necessary or desirable, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, to comply with the any applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws or rules or regulations of any governmental authority, or to be eligible for tax benefits under the Code or any other
7
applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws. The Company will obtain Company stockholder approval of any amendment to the Plan as required by applicable law, rule or regulation. No amendment or termination of the Plan will require the consent of any Employee unless otherwise required by applicable law or listing requirements.
The Company shall be entitled to withhold (or to cause the withholding of) from any cash amount payable to Employee by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity thereof the amount, if any, of all taxes of any applicable jurisdiction required to be withheld by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity thereof with respect to the difference between the Purchase Price Per Share and the Fair Market Value as of the Purchase Date.
The participating Employee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity, as applicable, against all taxes of any applicable jurisdiction required to be withheld by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity thereof with respect to the difference between the Purchase Price Per Share and the Fair Market Value as of the Purchase Date. The Company shall have no liability in respect of any tax payment and reporting obligations of the Participant in any applicable jurisdiction.
20. | Section 409A. |
The intent of the Company is that benefits under this Plan be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith. Any payments described in this Plan that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Plan during the six (6)-month period immediately following an Employee’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, death). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.
21. | Governing Law. |
