I was a shareholder holding share certificates for Henderson Group ordinary shares, listed on the LSE. How can I hold my shares in Janus Henderson?

As the new Janus Henderson Shares are listed on the NYSE, Henderson shareholders who held share certificates for their Henderson shares may find that holding and trading Janus Henderson Shares directly involves US market practices and formalities that may be unfamiliar to them. In addition, dealing with the Transfer Agent (the equivalent of a registrar in the UK) in a different jurisdiction and time zone may prove inconvenient in certain circumstances.

Janus Henderson has arranged for Computershare, the “CSN Nominee”, to provide the Janus Henderson “CSN Facility”. Computershare will act in the UK as nominee and trustee for holders of Janus Henderson Shares who are resident in a CSN Permitted Jurisdiction.

Each holder in the facility will receive a statement of entitlement from Computershare detailing their holding and explaining how they may deal in their new Janus Henderson Shares through the Janus Henderson CSN Facility, including details of ongoing services and details of the special dealing facility, where eligible.

I was a shareholder of Henderson Group ordinary shares listed on the LSE, through CREST. How can I hold my shares in Janus Henderson?

Janus Henderson Shares are no longer able to be transferred or settled directly through the CREST settlement system.

For this reason, Henderson entered into arrangements to enable Henderson Shareholders to hold, and settle transfers of, new Janus Henderson Shares in CREST in the form of Janus Henderson Depositary Interests (DIs), each representing an entitlement to one underlying new Janus Henderson Share.
back to top

What is a Depositary Interest (DI)?

A Depositary Interest (DI) is a legal structure that allows an entitlement to shares to be settled and be capable of being held and transferred within the CREST system.
back to top

How does a DI work and how will I receive my new Janus Henderson holding?

A DI represents the right to a share with, to the extent legally possible, the same rights and entitlements as a registered shareholder. DI holders are beneficial holders rather than registered holders of shares in a company.

Computershare was appointed to provide the DI service to Janus Henderson and as the Depositary of the DI service. Computershare has appointed one of its entities as custodian to hold Janus Henderson shares on behalf of DI holders.

The Janus Henderson DIs are created and issued under the terms of the “DI Deed”, which governs the relationship between the Depositary and the holders of Janus Henderson DIs. The Depositary issue DIs to participants and register them in the CREST system (on a 1 for 1 basis with the Janus Henderson share held by the custodian) so they can be transferred to the holder.

New DI holders receive a credit to their CREST account showing their holding in Janus Henderson.

DI holders can request cancellation of their DIs and request to hold an underlying Janus Henderson ordinary share at any time.


Kindly note cancellation is subject to a charge.

What is the Direct Registration System (DRS)?

DRS is a method of recording entitlement to Janus Henderson Shares in Janus Henderson’s records without the need for a physical share certificate to be issued.
back to top
