Janus Henderson Announces Secondary
Offering of its Common Stock Held by Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc; Plans up to US$230 Million Stock Repurchase
JHG Enters New Strategic Co-operation
Agreement with Dai-ichi Life
London,
4 February 2021 - Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE/ASX: JHG; ”Janus Henderson”)
announces today the commencement of a registered secondary offering of common stock through which Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc.
(“Dai-ichi’) intends to exit its equity investment in Janus Henderson through an underwritten public secondary offering.
Janus Henderson intends to repurchase up to US$230 million of the stock in the offering.
Dai-ichi has made a strategic decision
to focus capital on its global insurance business. As such, Dai-ichi has determined to monetize its equity stake in Janus Henderson
and has relinquished its board seat.
As part of this decision, Janus Henderson
and Dai-ichi have entered a new strategic co-operation agreement. The new agreement announced today includes many provisions similar
to those of the prior agreement, absent the capital commitment, and reflects the evolution of the companies’ strategic relationship.
Of note, Dai-ichi and Janus Henderson will expand the companies’ expertise and human resources program to include a senior
executive from Dai-ichi to help lead Janus Henderson’s efforts in Japan. The companies will also continue to collaborate
on new product development and distribution.
Seiji Inagaki, President of Dai-ichi
Life, said:
“Our relationship with Janus Henderson has benefited both our organizations over the last eight years,
and we are pleased that our partnership will continue, even as we strategically reallocate capital investments. Janus Henderson
remains a powerful franchise in the global Asset Management market and we hold their teams in high regard. Janus Henderson has
been a great partner for the past 8 years. We are confident in Janus Henderson’s quality and leadership and look forward
to continuing our strategic relationship with the firm going forward.”
Dick Weil, CEO of Janus Henderson,
added:
“We look forward to continuing
the strong relationship with Dai-ichi through the new co-operation agreement, building on eight years of trust. Although we are
disappointed to lose Dai-ichi as a shareholder, today’s news does not change the path that Janus Henderson is on to deliver
Simple Excellence across our business. We remain committed to delivering strong risk-adjusted returns for all of our clients and
long-term value and profit growth for all of our shareholders.”
Centerview Partners is serving as financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as US legal advisor to
Janus Henderson in connection with the transaction.
