Ladies and Gentlemen:
Janus
Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Janus Henderson Group plc, as guarantor, are registering an exchange
offer (the “Exchange Offer”) of up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 5.450% Senior
Notes due 2034 (the “Restricted Notes”) for the like aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 5.450%
Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Exchange Notes”) pursuant to the above referenced Registration Statement in reliance on
the position of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings
Corp., SEC No-Action Letter (available April 13, 1988) (hereinafter, Exxon Capital Holdings), Morgan Stanley &
Co. Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter (available
July 2, 1993). The Issuer represents as follows:
1. The
Issuer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive
the Exchange Notes to distribute those securities following completion of the Exchange Offer.
To the best of the Issuer’s information and belief, each person participating in the
Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and will
not participate in the Exchange Offer with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes to be
received in the Exchange Offer. In this regard, the Issuer will make each person participating
in the Exchange Offer aware (through the prospectus for the Exchange Offer or otherwise)
that if such person is participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing
the Exchange Notes, such person (i) cannot rely on the Staff position enunciated in
Exxon Capital Holdings or interpretive letters to similar effect and (ii) must
comply with registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with a secondary resale
transaction, and be identified as an underwriter in the prospectus.
2. The
Issuer acknowledges that such a secondary resale transaction by such person participating
in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes should be covered
by an effective registration statement containing the selling securityholder information
required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
3. The
Issuer will include in the prospectus for the Exchange Offer (a) an acknowledgement
that such participant does not intend to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes and
(b) an acknowledgement for each person that is a broker-dealer exchanging Restricted
Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, that such person will satisfy any prospectus delivery requirements in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Notes, and a statement to the effect that by so acknowledging
and by delivering a prospectus, such broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is
an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
