Each of Darryl Hartley-Leonard and Thomas C.

Messrs. Hartley-Leonard and Theobald will remain members of the Board of Directors until that date.
Mr. Hartley-Leonard is a also a member of each of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Mr. Theobald is a member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee.
Sheila Penrose, Chairman of the Jones Lang LaSalle Board, said “Darryl and Tom became Directors fifteen years ago in connection with the initial public offering in 1997 of our predecessor company, LaSalle Partners Incorporated, and then were engaged in our transformative and visionary merger with the Jones Lang Wootton companies in 1999. We are deeply grateful for their extraordinary dedication to the firm and confident that our shareholders have benefitted from their wisdom, energetic commitment and unfailing integrity.”
Colin Dyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle, added “Both Darryl and Tom have served with distinction. Their business acumen, experience and global perspective have been invaluable to their Board colleagues and our management team. We will miss them and we wish them all the best.”
The Company is conducting searches to replace the vacancies that will result from these two retirements. In addition to Ms. Penrose and Messrs. Dyer, Hartley-Leonard and Theobald, the other current members of the Board are Hugo Bagué, Dame DeAnne Julius, Ming Lu, Lauralee E. Martin, Martin H. Nesbitt, David B. Rickard and Roger T. Staubach.
