Dear Nelson:

In connection with the investment in Janus Henderson Group plc (“JHG”) by a fund managed by Trian Fund Management, L.P. (“Trian”), you have been appointed to serve as a director of JHG by its Board of Directors (the “Board”).

We understand that, consistent with its practices, JHG may be awarding to you, as a director of JHG, equity compensation in the form of shares of common stock (such equity compensation, “Shares”), and may be paying to you, fees in cash, in addition to the grant of Shares referred to above (collectively, “Fees”). This is to confirm our prior understanding that you are authorized to accept such Shares and Fees in your individual capacity on behalf of Trian upon the terms and conditions of this letter, including your agreement that, as long as you are an officer or partner of Trian and for a period of 90 days thereafter, you will follow the direction of Trian with respect to (x) the Transfer (as defined below) of such Shares and (y) the Transfer of any other securities (including, without limitation, any stock options, restricted stock units or shares of common stock issuable in exchange for, or upon exercise of, such other securities) of JHG that you may receive as a director of JHG (“Other Securities”). You further agree that (i) you will request that JHG deliver all Fees directly to an account designated by Trian, (ii) you will not dispose of, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares or Other Securities, without Trian’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Trian’s sole discretion, (iii) you shall vote all Shares or Other Securities that you hold at any meeting of shareholders of JHG in the manner that you are directed to do so by Trian in its sole discretion and (iv) you shall execute any written consent of the shareholders of JHG as Trian may, in its sole discretion, request that you execute. Upon any Transfer of all or a portion of any Shares or Other Securities, Trian shall be entitled to receive the consideration received as a result of such Transfer (the “Equity Consideration”).

Trian agrees to indemnify you against any tax imposed on income to you, net of any corresponding deduction to which you are entitled as a result of the transfer to Trian of the Fees, the Transfer of any Shares and/or Other Securities to Trian, and/or proceeds from any Transfer of any Equity Consideration to Trian. Such indemnification shall include all taxes imposed on a tax indemnification payment and shall apply to income reported by either JHG or Trian. For purposes of this letter agreement, taxes shall include any penalties, interest or additions to tax imposed upon you with respect to taxes.

This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State.

This letter shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and estates.
