De-listing from the LSE
Henderson Group plc ("Henderson") reports that at the
Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today in connection with

("Janus") (the "Merger"), all the resolutions contained in the
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (dated 21 March 2017 and

of Henderson Shareholders on 26 April 2017.
Richard Gillingwater, Chairman of Henderson, said: "I would like
to thank our shareholders for supporting our merger with Janus, and
look forward to working with the new Janus Henderson team to
deliver the growth potential that the combination creates. With
approvals from the shareholders of both companies now received, we
remain on track for completion by May 30."
Andrew Formica, Chief Executive of Henderson, said: "With the
creation of Janus Henderson Investors, we see tremendous benefits
for our clients, our colleagues and our shareholders. As a global
active investment manager, we have the breadth of capabilities and
distribution reach to serve our clients better together, with the
efficiency and scale to invest for future growth. I look forward to
working with Dick Weil and our new colleagues when we complete the
merger in a month's time."
Results of EGM
No resolutions were amended or withdrawn. All resolutions were
decided on a poll. Each Henderson Shareholder, present in person or
by proxy, was entitled to one vote for each Existing Henderson
Share or Existing Henderson CDI (as applicable) held at the
relevant voting record time. The results of the poll on each
resolution are set out in the appendix to this announcement.
The full text of each resolution is set out in the Notice of EGM
contained in the circular published on 21 March 2017 (the
"Circular"). Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the
same meaning as in the Circular.
Redenomination of issued share capital
Following today's meeting; the nominal value of each share in
Henderson's issued share capital has been converted from GBP0.125
to US$0.1547, as described in Resolution 1 set out in the Notice of
EGM. The Interim Henderson Memorandum, reflecting that change, has
also been adopted. Henderson's unissued share capital has been
cancelled.
The reduction of the nominal value of each share from US$0.1547
to US$0.15, as described in Resolution 3 set out in the Notice of
EGM, will become effective on or around 2 May 2017.
Timetable (including De-listing from the LSE in compliance with
the requirements of LR 5.2.5R)
As Janus has announced, all the resolutions proposed at the
Janus Stockholder Meeting held yesterday were also passed by the
requisite majority of Janus Stockholders.
Following today's approval of the Merger and the related
resolutions by Henderson Shareholders, the timetable in respect of
Completion of the Merger and the London De-listing is as
follows:
-- the final day of dealings in Existing Henderson Shares on the LSE will be 26 May 2017; and
-- the Completion Date will be 30 May 2017, on which:
o the change of name to Janus Henderson Group plc will become
effective;
o the Share Consolidation will become effective;
o the New Janus Henderson Shares will be issued to Janus
Stockholders;
o trading in New Janus Henderson Shares on the NYSE will
