Janus Henderson Announces Modifications to 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
April 20 2020 - 04:00AM
Business Wire
Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE/ASX: JHG) is scheduled to hold
its 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (‘AGM’) at the
Company’s office in Denver, Colorado, on 30 April 2020. However, as
a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Colorado state and local
authorities have issued stay-at-home orders that prohibit most
gatherings of any number of people. The health of our shareholders,
employees and stakeholders is paramount, and the Company will
adhere to all government and public health authority
recommendations and restrictions to support the effort to limit the
spread of COVID-19. As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors
has decided to make the following changes to the arrangements for
the AGM:
- We are not permitted to hold a virtual-only AGM under the terms
of our governing documents, and therefore, we currently plan to
hold the AGM as scheduled at our Denver office on 30 April 2020.
However, in order to comply with the stay-at-home orders and public
health directives, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the
AGM, and anyone seeking to attend the meeting in person will be
refused entry.
- Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote and submit their
proxy by internet, by telephone or by signing and returning the
proxy card that was included in the Notice of Annual General
Meeting sent to shareholders on 19 March 2020. When voting by
proxy, shareholders should appoint the Chair of the meeting as
their proxy to ensure that their votes will still be counted
despite being unable to attend the meeting in person. If a
shareholder appoints someone else as their proxy, that proxy will
not be able to attend the meeting in person or cast the
shareholder's vote.
- In order to keep in-person AGM attendance to the bare minimum
and observe proper social distancing measures for the small number
of people required to attend, our advisers and other guests have
also been asked not to attend. The AGM will be limited to only the
formal business of the meeting, with no traditional investor
presentation or live question-and-answer session. The Company
values the views of its shareholders, and any shareholder wishing
to submit a question to the Board may do so by sending an email to
investor.relations@janushenderson.com in advance of
the meeting. The Company will respond to all questions on an
individual basis.
- Shareholders may listen to the meeting via a listen-only
conference call and webcast. As the call and webcast will be
listen-only, participation through these means will not constitute
formal attendance at the AGM, and shareholders who dial in or view
the webcast will not be able to vote or ask questions on the day of
the AGM. Any shareholder wishing to listen to the meeting should

www.janushenderson.com/AGM2020. A replay will be available for a
period of at least 14 days following the call.
The Company is taking the above measures to make the AGM as safe
and efficient as possible, safeguarding the wellbeing of
shareholders, colleagues and other participants alongside ensuring
the right steps are taken to preserve the long-term health of the
business. The COVID-19 situation remains fluid, and, if further
changes to the AGM become necessary, we will announce those changes
as soon as practicable via our investor relations website and our
designated website for the 2020 AGM.
