Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
On July 31, 2015, Janus Capital Group Inc. (the “Company”) issued the required notice under the governing indenture to redeem all outstanding $344.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.700% Notes due June 15, 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). The 2017 Notes will be redeemed on August 30, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price for the 2017 Notes will be the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 25 basis points, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. As a result of this announcement, the Company expects to take an estimated net of tax charge of $22.3 million from the early extinguishment of the 2017 Notes.
