As Victory Capital has consistently stated, it was only prepared to move forward with a negotiated, consensual transaction that had the full support of the Janus Henderson Special Committee. While the Company is disappointed with the process run by the Special Committee, its admiration for the Janus Henderson business and its talented investment professionals remains unchanged. Victory Capital pursued this opportunity precisely because it recognized Janus Henderson as a high-quality organization and potentially a compelling strategic fit. Victory Capital's acquisition strategy has not changed. The Company will continue to pursue transactions that increase the competitiveness of the company through size, scale, product expansion and distribution access throughout the world, building on a proven long-term track record of value-creating acquisitions."
