NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the management of Janus Capital Group Inc. (collectively, “JCG” or “the Company”), the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of JCG in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date and the Company determined that there were no subsequent events that require disclosure. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements presented in JCG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements presented in JCG’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) that simplified several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements as well as classification in the statements of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of the ASU impacted JCG’s financial statements and accounting policies as follows: (1) Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards are recognized as part of the income tax provision line in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. (2) Excess tax benefits related to share-based payment awards are classified in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Historically, JCG reported this activity as a financing activity on its statements of cash flows. JCG applied this provision of the ASU on a modified retrospective basis. (3) JCG elected to account for forfeitures related to share-based payment awards when they occur and will apply the accounting policy change on a modified retrospective basis, as required by the ASU. A cumulative effect adjustment was not necessary due to forfeiture adjustments that occurred as of December 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. The revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard, including the amending ASUs, and is currently focused on the assessment of its mutual fund performance fees and the related applicability of the new guidance. The Company’s evaluation is ongoing and not complete. The Company does not expect significant changes in revenue recognition for the majority of its revenues as a result of adopting the standard.

In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments to its financial instruments standard, including changes relating to the accounting for equity investments, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the amended guidance, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.

There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The amended guidance also requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or market) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities). The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on accounting for leases. The new standard represents a significant change to lease accounting and introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on to the balance sheet. The standard also aligns certain of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. Furthermore, the new standard addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to its principal-versus-agent guidance in the FASB’s new revenue standard. The key provisions of the amendment are assessing the nature of the entity’s promise to the customer, identifying the specified goods or services, application of the control principle and indicators of control. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. In addition, entities are required to adopt the amendment by using the same transition method they used to adopt the new revenue standard. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statements of cash flows. The FASB issued the ASU with the intent of reducing diversity in practice regarding eight types of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statements of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU requires goodwill impairments to be measured on the basis of the fair value of the reporting unit relative to the reporting unit’s carrying amount rather than on the basis of the implied amount of goodwill relative to the goodwill balance of the reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is allowed for annual and interim impairment tests occurring after January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

Note 2 — Merger Agreement

On October 3, 2016, JCG and Henderson Group plc (“Henderson”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) relating to the business combination of JCG and Henderson. Under the terms of the agreement, the businesses of JCG and Henderson will be combined under Henderson, which will be renamed Janus Henderson Group plc (“Janus Henderson”). The merger will be effected via a share exchange, with each share of JCG common stock converted into the right to receive 4.7190 Janus Henderson ordinary shares, subject to the following adjustments. Effective immediately prior to the closing of the merger, Henderson will implement a share consolidation of Henderson ordinary shares at a ratio of one Janus Henderson ordinary share for every 10 Henderson ordinary shares outstanding (so that at closing of the merger each JCG stockholder will receive 0.4719 Janus Henderson ordinary shares for each share of JCG common stock). Janus Henderson shares will be delivered to JCG shareholders as merger consideration, with Janus Henderson applying for admission to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as its primary listing and with the existing listing on the Australian Securities Exchange retained. Henderson and JCG shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of Janus Henderson shares upon closing.

The closing of the merger is subject to, among other things, (a) the approval of the shareholders of JCG of the merger; (b) the approval of the shareholders of Henderson of (i) the merger, (ii) the name change of Henderson,

(iii) the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Henderson, (iv) the delisting of Henderson ordinary shares from the London Stock Exchange and (v) the payment of a dividend in respect to the second half of the 2016 fiscal year; (c) the receipt of the required regulatory approvals; (d) the approval by the board of trustees and shareholders for JCG advised U.S. mutual funds of new investment advisory agreements with JCG to take effect at the closing of the merger representing at least 67.5% of the assets under management of those funds as of September 30, 2016; (e) the absence of any stop order or proceedings by the SEC; (f) approval for listing on the NYSE of the Henderson ordinary shares; and (g) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the merger. The obligation of each of JCG and Henderson to consummate the merger is also conditioned on, among other things, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by the other party as of the closing date (subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers). Subject to the satisfaction or, if applicable, waiver of these conditions, the merger is expected to close on or about May 30, 2017.

JCG incurred $19.7 million of merger-related expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2017; $14.5 million is included in marketing and advertising, $4.9 million is included in general, administrative and occupancy, and $0.3 million is included in employee compensation and benefits on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Merger-related employee terminations are contingent on the consummation of the merger and no accruals have been made as of March 31, 2017.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

Acquisition of Kapstream

On January 31, 2017, JCG acquired the remaining 49% voting interest in Kapstream Capital Pty Limited (“Kapstream”). The noncontrolling interests were held by the founders of Kapstream, who are current Kapstream employees. The transaction included initial upfront cash consideration of $42.5 million and contingent consideration of up to $42.5 million. Payment of the contingent consideration is subject to all Kapstream products and certain products advised by Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”), reaching defined revenue targets on the first, second and third anniversaries of January 31, 2017. The contingent consideration will be payable in three equal installments of $14.2 million on the anniversary dates and are indexed to the performance of the Kapstream Absolute Return Income Fund. Upon achieving the defined revenue targets, the holders receive the value of the contingent consideration adjusted for gains or losses attributable to the mutual fund to which the contingent consideration is indexed, subject to tax withholding.

The acquisition of a controlling 51% voting interest in Kapstream in July 2015 also included contingent cash consideration payable at 18 and 36 months after acquisition if certain Kapstream assets under management reach defined targets. In December 2016, Kapstream assets under management reached defined targets for the 18-month anniversary of the acquisition and JCG paid contingent consideration of $5.6 million in February 2017.

Fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the 49% and 51% voting interests in Kapstream during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, resulted in a $3.9 million and $0.1 million increase to the liability and expense, including the monthly accretion of the liability to the future value of the consideration, respectively. Fair value adjustments are included in general, administrative and occupancy on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2017, the contingent consideration had a fair value of $39.6 million; $13.2 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $26.4 million is included in other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2017, the total maximum payment over the remaining contingent consideration period is $46.7 million.

Acquisition of VelocityShares

The acquisition of VelocityShares, LLC (“VelocityShares”) in 2014 included contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is payable on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition, in amounts up to $10.0 million each for the first and second anniversaries, and $8.0 million each for the third and fourth anniversaries. The payments are contingent on certain VelocityShares’ exchange traded products (“ETPs”) reaching defined net revenue targets. VelocityShares reached the defined net ETP revenue targets for the first and second anniversaries of the acquisition, and JCG paid contingent consideration of $10.0 million in both December 2015 and January 2017. The contingent consideration payments represent the maximum amount for

the first and second anniversaries. As of March 31, 2017, the total maximum payment over the remaining contingent consideration period (third and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition) is $16.0 million.

Fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, resulted in a decrease of $3.0 million and an increase of $3.2 million to the liability and expense, including the monthly accretion of the liability to the future value of the consideration, respectively. Fair value adjustments are included in general, administrative and occupancy on the Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2017, the contingent consideration had a fair value of $5.9 million; $4.8 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $1.1 million is included in other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 4 — Consolidation

Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

JCG’s consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as of March 31, 2017, include certain consolidated seeded investment products in which the Company has an investment and acts as the investment manager. The assets of these VIEs are not available to JCG or the creditors of JCG. JCG may not, under any circumstances, access cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated VIEs to use in its operating activities or otherwise. In addition, the investors in these VIEs have no recourse to the credit of the Company.

Consolidated VIE assets and liabilities are presented after intercompany eliminations at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, in the following table (in millions):

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs	(26.5		)	(31.9		)
JCG’s net interest in consolidated VIEs	$	66.8		$	65.6

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

At March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, JCG’s carrying values of investment securities included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets pertaining to unconsolidated VIEs was $8.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively. JCG’s total exposure to unconsolidated VIEs represents the value of its economic ownership interest in the investment securities.

Voting Rights Entities

Consolidated Voting Rights Entities

The following table presents the balances related to consolidated voting rights entities (“VREs”) that were recorded on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including JCG’s net interest in these products (in millions):

	March 31,			December 31,
	2017			2016
Investment securities	$	5.6		$	6.3
Cash and cash equivalents	0.7			—
Accounts receivable and other current assets	0.2			0.1

Total	6.4			6.2
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated VREs	(1.3		)	(1.2		)
JCG’s net interest in consolidated VREs	$	5.1		$	5.0

JCG’s total exposure to consolidated VREs represents the value of its economic ownership interest in these seeded investment products.

The Company considered the duration, extent and circumstances of any decline in fair value as well as JCG’s intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market value. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

Derivative Instruments

The Company maintains an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to hedge against market volatility of certain seeded investments. Fluctuations in equity markets, debt markets and commodity markets are hedged by using index and commodity futures (“futures”) and credit default swaps. Certain foreign currency translation associated with the Company’s seeded investment products is also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts.

JCG was party to the following derivative instruments as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016:

	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
	Number of contracts	Notional value (in millions)		Number of contracts	Notional value (in millions)
Futures	52	$	184.5	50	$	171.7
Credit default swaps	2	$	152.0	2	$	128.5
Foreign currency forward contracts	2	$	34.2	2	$	34.1

The above derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of the futures and credit default swaps are recognized in investment gains, net on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in other income, net on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Futures and credit default swaps are subject to a master netting arrangement. The values of the individual futures and credit default swaps, including any associated cash collateral, are combined and are included on a net basis in other current assets on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency forward contracts are not subject to a master netting arrangement, and as such, fair values of the individual contracts are not netted and are included separately within other current assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company posted $8.8 million and $8.0 million in cash collateral and margin with the counterparty of the futures and credit default swaps as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. The cash collateral and margin are included in other current assets on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, certain consolidated seeded investment products sold credit protection through the use of credit default swap contracts. The contracts provide alternative credit risk exposure to individual companies and countries outside of traditional bond markets. The terms of the credit default swap contracts range from one to five years.

As sellers in credit default swap contracts, the consolidated seeded investment products would be required to pay the notional value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default on the debt obligation by the issuer. The notional value represents the estimated maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments required upon the occurrence of a credit default event. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the notional values of the agreements totaled $7.8 million and $8.5 million. The credit default swap contracts include recourse provisions that allow for recovery of a certain percentage of amounts paid upon the occurrence of a credit default event. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the credit default swap contracts selling protection was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

JCG’s Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of seeded investment products, investments in advised mutual funds, cash equivalents and investments related to deferred compensation plans with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of unconsolidated seeded investment products and available-for-sale seeded investment products is determined using the respective net asset value (“NAV”) of each product. All seeded investment products for which the NAV is used to determine their fair value are classified as Level 1 and primarily represent seeded mutual funds where JCG’s ownership level is under 50% or where JCG is not considered the primary beneficiary.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

JCG’s Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of cash equivalents, consolidated seeded investment products and JCG’s long-term debt. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased and consist primarily of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other short-term investments. The fair value of consolidated seeded investment products in which JCG’s ownership level is above 50%, or JCG is the primary beneficiary, is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value of JCG’s long-term debt is determined using broker quotes and recent trading activity, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

(1) Carried at amortized cost and disclosed at fair value.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

JCG’s Level 3 recurring fair value measurements largely represent redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”) and contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Kapstream and VelocityShares.

INTECH

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a material change in the fair value of INTECH has occurred. The fair value of INTECH is determined using a valuation methodology that incorporates observable metrics from publicly traded peer companies as valuation comparables and adjustments related to investment performance and changes in assets under management.

Kapstream Contingent Consideration

The fair value of the Kapstream contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by forecasting certain Kapstream assets under management or defined revenue over the contingency period and determining whether the forecasted amounts meet the defined targets. Forecasted contingent payments are then discounted back to the valuation date using a 10.0% discount rate. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are limited to forecasted Kapstream assets under management and defined revenue targets, which are considered non-public data.

VelocityShares Contingent Consideration

The fair value of the VelocityShares contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by forecasting net ETP revenue, as defined by the purchase agreement, over the contingency period and determining whether net forecasted ETP revenue targets are achieved. Forecasted contingent payments are then discounted back to the valuation date using a 15% discount rate. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are considered non-public data and limited to forecasted gross revenues and certain expense items, which are deducted from these revenues. Increases in forecasted net ETP revenue would increase the fair value of the consideration, subject to payment limitations, while decreases in forecasted net ETP revenue would decrease the fair value.

Seeded Investment Products

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, a single security within the portfolio of a consolidated seeded investment product was valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification. The fair value of the security as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, was $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

JCG’s Level 3 recurring fair value measurements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are as follows (in millions):

	Three months ended March 31, 2017
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH			VelocityShares contingent consideration			Kapstream contingent consideration

End of period fair value	$	7.8		$	16.3	$	7.4

Nonrecurring Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill and intangible assets. JCG measures the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis that requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and discount rates. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

Transfers Between Fair Value Levels

The underlying securities of mutual funds and separate accounts may trade on a foreign stock exchange. In some cases, the closing price of such securities may be adjusted to capture the effects of any post-closing activity affecting the markets in which they trade. Security prices are adjusted based upon historical impacts for similar post-close activity. These adjustments result in the securities being classified as Level 2 and may also result in movement of securities between Level 1 and Level 2.

Transfers are recognized at the end of each reporting period. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 classifications for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are summarized as follows (in millions):

	March 31,
	2017		2016
Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2	$	—	$	—
Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1	$	44.6	$	—

In addition to the transfers disclosed above, the deconsolidation of a seeded investment product can cause changes to its fair value level classification. Upon deconsolidation, the entire seeded investment product is valued using the NAV rather than valued using its underlying securities. Generally, seeded investment products that use the NAV to determine their fair value are classified as Level 1. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, certain seeded investment products were deconsolidated and $7.9 million of Level 2 assets were reclassified to Level 1.

Note 7 — Debt

Debt at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, consisted of the following (in millions):

4.875% Senior Notes Due 2025

In July 2015, JCG issued $300.0 million of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”), which pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year and mature on August 1, 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes include unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount at March 31, 2017, of $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount are recorded as a contra liability within long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

0.750% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018

The initial conversion rate of the 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (“2018 Convertible Notes”) was 92.06 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.86 per share of common stock. The initial conversion rate was most recently adjusted during the first quarter 2017 when JCG paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, which was greater than the quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share at the time of issuance. As a result of the quarterly cash dividend paid on February 17, 2017, the conversion rate changed to 93.96 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $10.64 per share of common stock.

Holders of the 2018 Convertible Notes may convert the notes during a particular calendar quarter if the last reported sale price of JCG’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding quarter. As of March 31, 2017, the 2018 Convertible Notes did not meet the conversion criteria. However, as a result of making a formal notice of intent to merge with Henderson to the 2018 Convertible Note holders, among other factors, the 2018 Convertible Notes may be converted, regardless of whether or not the conversion criteria have been satisfied, for a period of 35 trading days in advance of and 35 trading days following the merger completion. Due to this provision associated with the merger, the 2018 Convertible Notes are classified as current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Merger implications notwithstanding, the 2018 Convertible Notes conversion criteria are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Fluctuations in the price of JCG’s common stock may cause reclassification of the 2018 Convertible Notes between long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

The 2018 Convertible Notes include unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount at March 31, 2017, of $0.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount are recorded as a contra liability within current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrants

In connection with the 2018 Convertible Notes issuance in June 2013, JCG entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, which, in combination, are intended to reduce the potential for future dilution to existing shareholders by effectively increasing the initial conversion price of the 2018 Convertible Notes to JCG from $10.86 to $12.60 per share of common stock.

The initial $10.86 and $12.60 per share of common stock exercise prices of the call options and warrants, respectively, were adjusted during the first quarter 2017 when JCG paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. As a result of the quarterly cash dividend paid on February 17, 2017, which was greater than the quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share at the time of issuance, the exercise price of the call options changed to $10.64 per share of common stock, and the exercise price of the warrants changed to $12.35 per share of common stock.

The counterparty of the convertible note hedge has the right to terminate the hedge upon completion of the merger with Henderson.

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2017, JCG had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The Credit Facility can be used by JCG and its subsidiaries for working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread, which is based on JCG’s long-term unsecured debt credit rating (“credit rating”). JCG is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is also based on JCG’s credit rating. Under the Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x, and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x. At March 31, 2017, JCG was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2017, or during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 23, 2018; however, the Credit Facility will terminate upon completion of the Merger with Henderson.

Note 8 — Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Effective tax rate	39.6	%	39.3	%

The change in effective tax rates for the three-month periods presented was primarily due to non-deductible deal costs associated with the Merger Agreement and vesting of equity awards resulting in a year over year increase to the effective tax rate partially offset by adjustments to contingent consideration.

As of March 31, 2017, JCG had $4.9 million of accrued reserves for income tax contingencies. JCG accrued additional reserves for income tax contingencies in the amount of $0.2 million during the first quarter 2017, creating a net tax benefit of $0.1 million. JCG anticipates that its income tax contingency reserves will decrease by approximately $1.1 million in the next 12 months, primarily from the expiration of statutes of limitations. Accrued reserves for income tax contingencies are presented in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9 — Noncontrolling Interests

Undistributed earnings	(0.8		)	(0.8		)
Total redeemable noncontrolling interests	$	38.7		$	43.1

Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products may fluctuate from period to period and are impacted by changes in JCG’s relative ownership percentage of seeded products, changes in the amount of third-party investment in seeded products and volatility in the market value of the seeded products’ underlying securities. Third-party redemptions of investments are redeemed from the respective product’s net assets and cannot be redeemed from the assets of other seeded products or from the assets of JCG.

The following table presents a rollforward of noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three months ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Beginning of period balance	$	33.1		$	13.8
Changes in market value:
Consolidated VREs	—			—
Consolidated VIEs	0.8			0.6
Changes in ownership:
Consolidated VREs	—			(8.6		)
Consolidated VIEs	(6.1		)	15.4
End of period balance	$	27.8		$	21.2

Changes in ownership reflect third-party investment in consolidated seeded investment products, additional seed capital investment or seed capital redemptions by JCG.

INTECH

INTECH ownership interests held by a founding member had an estimated fair value of $4.1 million as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, representing an approximate 1.1% ownership of INTECH for both periods. This founding member is entitled to retain his remaining INTECH interests until his death and has the option to require JCG to purchase from him his ownership interests of INTECH at fair value.

INTECH appreciation rights had a total grant date fair value of $27.8 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period. The appreciation rights are exercisable upon termination of employment from INTECH to the extent vested. Upon exercise, the appreciation rights are settled in INTECH equity.

Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, consisted of the following (in millions):

	March 31,		December 31,

On January 31, 2017, JCG acquired the remaining 49% voting interest in Kapstream. Refer to Note 3 — Acquisitions for additional information.

Note 10 — Long-Term Incentive Compensation

JCG generally grants annual long-term incentive awards during the first quarter of each year. JCG granted $57.4 million in long-term incentive awards during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which generally vest and will be recognized ratably over a four-year period. The 2017 awards consisted of $31.9 million of restricted stock (2.6 million shares at a weighted-average price of $12.46 per share) and $25.5 million of mutual fund share awards.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, JCG recognized $1.3 million and $0.7 million of long-term incentive compensation expense related to mark-to-market adjustments of mutual fund share awards and deferred compensation plans, respectively, and ($0.8) million and $1.1 million during the same period in 2016. Compensation expense associated with the INTECH appreciation rights, profit interests and phantom interests was $0.1 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters

JCG is periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters. Although there can be no assurances, based on information currently available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on JCG’s consolidated financial statements.

Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement contains mutual customary representations and warranties made by each of JCG and Henderson, and also contains mutual customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants, among others, (i) to operate its businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent, (ii) not to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, and, subject to certain exceptions, not to participate in any discussions or negotiations, or cooperate in any way with respect to, any inquiries or the making of, any proposal of an alternative transaction, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, not to withdraw, qualify or modify the support of its board of directors for the Merger Agreement and the merger, as applicable, and (iv) to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains covenants that require each of JCG and Henderson to call and hold a special stockholder meeting and, subject to certain exceptions, require each of the board of directors of JCG and Henderson to recommend to its stockholders to approve the merger and, with respect to the board of directors of JCG, to adopt the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for each of JCG and Henderson, including in the event that (i) the merger is not consummated on or before September 30, 2017 (the “Outside Date”), (ii) the required approvals of the stockholders of JCG or the shareholders of Henderson are not obtained at the respective stockholder meetings or (iii) if any restraint having the effect of preventing the consummation of the merger shall have become final and non-appealable or if any governmental entity that must grant a requisite regulatory approval has denied approval of the merger. In addition, JCG and Henderson can each terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the stockholder meeting of the other party if, among other things, the other party’s board of directors has changed its recommendation that its stockholders approve the merger, as applicable, and adopt the Merger Agreement, or has failed to make or reaffirm such recommendation in certain circumstances.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including (i) a change in the recommendation of the board of directors of JCG or Henderson or (ii) a termination of the Merger Agreement by JCG or Henderson because of (a) a failure to obtain the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the other party, (b) a material breach by the other party or (c) because the merger is not consummated by the Outside Date, in each case set forth in this clause (ii), at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with respect to such party and such party enters into or consummates an alternative transaction, in the case of clause (a) or (b), within 12 months following such date of termination or in the case of clause (c), within 12 months from the Outside Date, JCG or Henderson, as the case may be, will pay to the other party a termination fee equal to $34.0 million in cash.

The Merger Agreement provides that if JCG or Henderson terminates the Merger Agreement because of a failure of the shareholders of the other party to approve the merger at the applicable shareholder meeting, JCG or Henderson, as the case may be, will reimburse the other party for its actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses up to an aggregate amount equal to $10.0 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

Overview

JCG provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to financial advisors, individuals and institutional clients through mutual funds, separate accounts, other pooled investment vehicles, ETPs and subadvised relationships (collectively referred to as “investment products”) in both domestic and international markets. JCG provides investment management competencies across a range of disciplines, including fundamental U.S. and global equities (growth and value), mathematical equities, fixed income and alternatives, through its subsidiaries, Janus, INTECH and Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”). These subsidiaries specialize in specific investment styles, and each has its own unique and independent perspective. JCG’s investment products are distributed through three primary channels: intermediary, institutional and self-directed. Each distribution channel focuses on specific investor groups and the unique requirements of each group. As of March 31, 2017, JCG’s complex-wide assets totaled $204.7 billion for mutual fund shareholders, clients and institutions around the globe.

Segment Considerations

Although JCG manages and distributes a wide range of investment products and services, the Company’s management directs JCG’s operations as one business, the investment management business, and thus operates in one business segment.

Operating Revenues, Performance Fees and Assets Under Management

Operating revenues are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management and are calculated as a percentage of the daily average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Certain investment products are also subject to performance fees, which vary based on a product’s relative performance as compared to a benchmark index and the level of assets subject to such fees.

JCG’s complex-wide assets include all assets under management and exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are not included in assets under management as the Company is not the named adviser or subadviser to ETNs.

Assets under management primarily consist of domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Accordingly, fluctuations in domestic and international financial markets, relative investment performance, sales and redemptions of investment products, and changes in the composition of assets under management are all factors that have a direct effect on JCG’s operating results.

First Quarter 2017 Summary

JCG finished the first quarter 2017 with assets under management of $201.9 billion, an increase of 3.8% from the fourth quarter 2016, as a result of market appreciation partially offset by long-term net outflows. Long-term net flows deteriorated in the first quarter 2017 driven by net redemptions in mathematical equity strategies of $3.8 billion, net redemptions in JCG’s fundamental equity strategies of $0.6 billion and net redemptions in fixed income strategies of $0.3 billion.

Total operating revenue for JCG in the first quarter 2017 of $257.6 million increased $6.2 million, or 2.5%, from the fourth quarter 2016 primarily as a result of increased average assets under management.

JCG realized operating margins of 21.5% for the first quarter 2017 and 24.6% for the fourth quarter of 2016. Merger-related expenses of $19.7 million in the first quarter 2017 and $9.1 million in the fourth quarter 2016 had a negative impact on operating margins. Operating margins, adjusted for merger-related expenses, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, were 29.1% and 28.2%, respectively. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion.

Net income attributable to JCG for the first quarter 2017 and fourth quarter 2016 totaled $30.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Net income attributable to JCG, adjusted for merger-related expenses, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, totaled $43.8 million and $37.2 million, or $0.23 and $0.20 per diluted share, respectively. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion.

Investment Performance of Assets Under Management

Investment products are generally evaluated based on their investment performance relative to other investment products with similar disciplines and strategies or benchmark indices.

The following table is a summary of investment performance as of March 31, 2017:

	Percentage of mutual fund assets

Assets Under Management and Exchange-Traded Products

Assets Under Management and Flows

Total Company assets under management of $201.9 billion at March 31, 2017, increased $13.9 billion, or 7.4%, from March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of net market appreciation of $21.5 billion, partially offset by long-term net outflows of $7.4 billion. Long-term net flows represent total Company net sales and redemptions, excluding money market assets.

Valuation of Assets Under Management

The fair value of assets under management is derived from the cash and investment securities underlying JCG’s investment products. Investment security values are determined using unadjusted or adjusted quoted market prices and independent third-party price quotes in active markets. The fair value of the vast majority of the equity securities underlying JCG’s investment products is derived from readily available and reliable market price quotations while the fair value of a majority of the fixed income securities is derived from evaluated pricing from independent third-party providers. JCG uses adjusted market prices to value certain international equity securities in its domestic and non-domestic mutual funds to adjust for stale pricing that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Security prices are adjusted based upon historical impacts for similar post-close activity. For fixed income securities with maturities of 60 days or less, the amortized cost method is used to determine the value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or are considered unreliable are internally valued using appropriate methodologies for each security type or by engaging third-party specialists.

The pricing policies for mutual funds advised by JCG’s subsidiaries (the “Funds”) are established by the Funds’ Independent Board of Trustees and are designed to test and validate fair value measurements. Responsibility for pricing securities held within separate and subadvised accounts may be delegated by the separate or subadvised clients to JCG or another party.

JCG performs a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. For fixed income securities, prices are received daily from a primary vendor and weekly from a secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant day-to-day price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by JCG’s fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to JCG’s traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.

All pricing vendors are subject to an annual on-site due diligence review that includes a detailed discussion about the methodologies used, particularly for evaluated prices, and any changes to the methodologies.

JCG is generally not the pricing agent for securities held within separate and subadvised accounts. However, JCG does perform a daily reconciliation between the pricing performed by the pricing agent and the pricing applied based on JCG’s procedures. Any pricing discrepancies are resolved with the client designated pricing agent.

Investment Management Fees

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, investment management fees increased $19.5 million from the same period last year, primarily as a result of an 11.8% increase in average assets under management driven by market appreciation. This was offset by a 1.2% decrease due to a product mix shift to lower yielding products and a decrease of 1.1% due to one less day in the first quarter 2017.

Performance Fees

Performance fee revenue is derived from certain mutual funds and separate accounts. Performance fee revenue consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in millions):

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2017			2016
Mutual fund performance fees	$	(13.2	)	$	(9.9	)
Separate account performance fees	(0.5		)	7.5
Total performance fees	$	(13.7	)	$	(2.4	)

Negative mutual fund performance fees were driven by underperformance of certain mutual funds against their respective benchmarks. Negative mutual fund performance fees increased by $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to underperformance of certain funds against their respective benchmarks.

Separate account performance fees relate largely to assets managed by INTECH. The decline in separate account performance fees is due primarily to the underperformance of INTECH accounts against their respective benchmarks and recognition of a negative performance fee. Separate account performance fees were negative in the first quarter 2017 due to the acceleration of a performance fee related to the redemption of a certain INTECH account. Separate account performance fees are recognized on a quarterly or annual basis.

A summary of mutual fund and separate account assets subject to performance fees as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows (in billions):

Employee Compensation and Benefits

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, employee compensation and benefits increased $3.0 million compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher incentive compensation as a result of higher operating income, exclusive of merger-related costs, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The company-wide incentive compensation plan is designed to link variable compensation to operating income.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, long-term incentive compensation decreased $1.4 million, compared to the same period in 2016. The changes were primarily due to decreases of $4.3 million in senior profits interests awards expense for INTECH due to a revised valuation and $3.3 million from the vesting of awards granted in prior years. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $4.1 million of expenses associated with new awards granted in the first quarter 2017 and $2.2 million for the mark-to-market of mutual fund share awards.

Long-term incentive compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, is currently expected to be approximately $75 million to $80 million.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising increased $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to merger-related proxy solicitation costs of $14.2 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to decreased amortization of deferred commissions driven by lower mutual fund sales on certain share classes.

General, Administrative and Occupancy

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, general, administrative and occupancy increased $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to $4.9 million in merger-related expenses primarily related to legal and consulting services and a $3.8 million increase in the fair value and monthly accretion of Kapstream contingent consideration. These items were offset by a $6.2 million decrease in the fair value and monthly accretion of VelocityShares contingent consideration.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. To provide greater transparency into JCG’s business on an ongoing operations basis and allow more appropriate comparisons with industry peers, the Company presents adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to JCG and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders as non-GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is considered to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of JCG’s financial performance over time. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 related to the merger with Henderson as these expenses are not considered part of the Company’s ongoing operations. Management uses non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate the business on an ongoing basis, and they are consistent with internal management reporting. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to JCG and diluted earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if appropriate. The tax effect related to reconciling items has been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates.

The following are reconciliations of GAAP basis operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to JCG and diluted earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders to adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to JCG and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to JCG common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company did not adjust its GAAP basis figures for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as the amounts during this period reflect JCG’s business on an ongoing operations basis. Amounts are presented in millions, except per share data and operating profit percentages.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Merger Agreement

As discussed in Note 2 — Merger Agreement of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Merger Agreement requires JCG to operate its business in ordinary course and, subject to certain exceptions, may prevent JCG from taking certain actions without the approval of Henderson, including, but not limited to, dividend payments, debt repurchases, certain restructurings and credit facility draws.

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes key balance sheet data relating to JCG’s liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 (in millions):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2017		2016
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents held domestically	$	272.8	$	400.0
Cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States (1)	85.9		85.9
Cash and cash equivalents	358.7		485.9
Cash and cash equivalents held by VIEs(2)	2.0		6.1
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	360.7	$	492.0
Investment management fees and other receivables	$	141.3	$	129.6
Investment securities:

Investments in advised mutual funds and the economic hedging of deferred compensation plans	23.5		21.9
	203.2		212.1
Investment securities held by VIEs	91.9		91.6
Total investment securities	$	295.1	$	303.7
Long-term debt (including current portion)	$	407.4	$	406.3

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased, including investments in money market funds. JCG believes that existing cash and cash generated from operations should be sufficient to satisfy its short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, dividend payments, income tax payments, interest payments on outstanding debt, contingent consideration payments and expenditures related to the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, JCG may use available cash for general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

Holders of the 2018 Convertible Notes may convert the notes during a particular calendar quarter if the last reported sale price of JCG’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding quarter. As of March 31, 2017, the 2018 Convertible Notes did not meet the conversion criteria. However, as a result of making a formal notice of intent to merge with Henderson to the 2018 Convertible Note holders, the 2018 Convertible Notes may be converted, regardless of whether or not the conversion criteria have been satisfied, for a period of 35 trading days in advance of and 35 trading days following the merger completion. Due to this provision associated with merger, the 2018 Convertible Notes are classified as current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(1) As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, cash held outside of the United States may not be entirely available for general corporate purposes due to approximately $29 million and $28 million of capital requirements associated with foreign subsidiaries of JCG, respectively.

(2) Cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated seeded investment products are not available for general corporate purposes.

(3) Includes noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products of $27.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively.

Common Stock Repurchases

As part of its capital and liquidity management, JCG has in the past maintained a share repurchase program to offset dilution resulting from stock-based compensation and to return capital to shareholders. The share repurchase program has been conducted within the parameters of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. After the Merger Agreement, JCG ceased share repurchases and does not intend on utilizing the share repurchase program while the merger progresses toward the expected close date on or about May 30, 2017.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, JCG withheld 1,090,441 and 939,035 shares, respectively, from employees as part of a share withholding program to satisfy the employees’ minimum statutory income tax liabilities attributable to the vesting of restricted stock. The withheld shares had a value of $13.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively, and were deposited into treasury shares.

Total common stock repurchases from the share repurchase program and shares withheld from employees as part of the share withholding program during the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2017		2016
Total cost (in millions)	$	13.4	$	32.6
Shares repurchased/withheld	1,090,441		2,542,784
Average price per share	$	12.33	$	12.82

Dividends

Dividends declared and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2017, are summarized as follows:

Dividend		Date	Dividends paid		Date	Shareholders of
per share		declared	(in millions)		paid	record date
$	0.11	January 19	$	20.3	February 17	February 6

The Merger Agreement requires JCG to operate its business in ordinary course and, subject to certain exceptions, may prevent JCG from taking certain actions without the approval of Henderson, including, but not limited to, dividend payments. Subsequent to the Merger Agreement, JCG and Henderson agreed to separately pay regular quarterly cash dividends in respect to the first quarter 2017 during the second quarter 2017, subject to respective board approvals.

On April 18, 2017, JCG’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on May 19, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 5, 2017.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Expected long-term commitments at March 31, 2017, include principal and interest payments related to the 2018 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes, capital and operating lease payments, redeemable noncontrolling interests, Perkins and INTECH senior profits interests awards, INTECH appreciation rights and phantom interests, and contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of VelocityShares and Kapstream. JCG expects to fund its long-term commitments using existing cash and cash generated from operations, debt refinancing or access to capital and credit markets, as necessary.

Other Sources of Liquidity

At March 31, 2017, JCG had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The Credit Facility can be used by JCG and its subsidiaries for

working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility bears interest on borrowings outstanding at LIBOR plus a spread, which is based on JCG’s credit rating. JCG is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is also based on JCG’s credit rating. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 23, 2018.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage. The financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x, and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x. At March 31, 2017, JCG’s financing leverage ratio was 1.33x and the interest coverage ratio was 19.39x. JCG was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2017, or during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Credit Facility will terminate upon completion of the Merger with Henderson.

Operating Activities

Fluctuations in operating cash flows are attributable to changes in net income and working capital items, which can vary from period to period based on the amount and timing of cash receipts and payments. The payment of incentive compensation during the first quarter creates a significant outflow in operating activities compared to other quarters during the year.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by (used for) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows (in millions):

Cash provided by investing activities	$	18.1		$	41.4

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $18.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $41.4 million during the same period in 2016. The year-over-year change in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from sales, settlement and maturities of investment securities as well as a decrease in purchases and settlements of investment securities. JCG periodically adds new investment strategies to its investment product offerings by providing the initial cash investment or “seeding.” The primary purpose of seeded investment products is to generate an investment performance track record in a product to attract third-party investors. JCG may redeem invested seed capital for a variety of reasons, including when third-party investments in the relevant product are sufficient to sustain the investment strategy.

Sales and purchases of securities by consolidated seeded investment products can fluctuate based on third-party investments and redemptions in the consolidated seeded investment products and is offset in cash used for financing activities.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows (in millions):

	Three months ended

Other financing activities	(0.4		)	(0.9		)
Cash used for financing activities	$	(95.5	)	$	(54.6	)

Cash used for financing activities totaled $95.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to cash used for financing activities of $54.6 million during the same period in 2016. The year-over-year change in cash used for financing activities is primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining 49% voting interest in Kapstream, and Kapstream and VelocityShares contingent consideration payments in the first quarter 2017, partially offset by a decrease in cash used to repurchase common stock. As discussed above, JCG has in the past maintained a share repurchase program to return capital to shareholders and offset dilution associated with the vesting of restricted stock. After the Merger Agreement, JCG ceased share repurchases and does not intend on utilizing the share repurchase program while the merger progresses toward the expected close date on or about May 30, 2017. Cash used for the repurchase of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to shares withheld from employees as part of a share withholding program to satisfy the employees’ minimum statutory income tax liabilities attributable to the vesting of restricted stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has had no material changes in its exposure to market risks from that previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2017, JCG’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by the Company to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the SEC. Richard M. Weil, Chief Executive Officer, and Jennifer J. McPeek, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Weil and Ms. McPeek concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, JCG’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting.
