The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 201 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3AE United Kingdom.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

Items 4 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

On November 15, 2022, the Issuer appointed Brian Baldwin, a Partner and Senior Analyst at Trian Management, in place of Nelson Peltz, who resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Issuer on the same date.

The Trian Group is the Issuer’s largest shareholder, and Mr. Baldwin joins Ed Garden, Trian Management’s Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner, on the Issuer’s Board. Mr. Baldwin has worked closely with Nelson Peltz and Ed Garden on all of Trian Management’s investments in asset management and financial services. Mr. Garden has previously served as a director of several other major asset management and financial services companies including The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, Legg Mason, Inc. and Invesco Ltd.

The Trian Group strongly supports the Issuer’s new CEO, Ali Dibadj and his management team, the Issuer’s cost-efficiency program, the Issuer’s newly defined strategy, and the Issuer’s Board, which has undergone significant refreshment, including electing a new Chair. With these changes in place, the Trian Group believes the Issuer is well-positioned to help clients define and achieve their desired investment outcomes while delivering significant long-term shareholder value.

The Issuer’s Board appointed Mr. Baldwin as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Risk Committee.

Janus Henderson Group plc

Richard Gillingwater, Chairman

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer

Dear Richard and Ali,

I am writing this letter to advise you that, effective immediately, I hereby resign from the Board of Directors of Janus Henderson Group plc (the “Company” or “JHG”) and from any other positions I hold with the Company and its subsidiaries.

I wish to express my strong support for Ali, whom I am proud to have played a role in recruiting to the Company. I am also highly supportive of the Company’s management team, cost-efficiency program, newly defined strategy and refreshed Board, which going forward will include two of my partners at Trian, Ed Garden (CIO and Co-Founder) and Brian Baldwin (Partner and Senior Analyst).

With these changes in place, I believe the Company is well-positioned to help clients define and achieve their desired investment outcomes while delivering significant long-term shareholder value.

On a personal note, I have enjoyed my time on the JHG Board and appreciated the opportunity to work with you and the rest of the Board.

Very truly yours,

/s/NELSON PELTZ
