EXHIBIT 99.1 - ------------ JONES LANG LASALLE NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release 200 East Randolph Drive Chicago Illinois 60601 Contact: Lauralee E. Martin Chief Operating and Financial Officer +1.312.228.2073 JONES LANG LASALLE ANNOUNCES NEW SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM FOR UP TO 2,000,000 SHARES CHICAGO, AUGUST 15, 2007 - Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE: JLL), the leading integrated global real estate services and money management firm, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. This is in addition to the 208,000 shares that remain authorized to be repurchased under a program that was previously established in September, 2005. The authorization for the new program allows for purchases in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase of shares is intended primarily to offset dilution resulting from both restricted stock and stock option grants made under the firm's existing employee compensation plans. Since September, 2005, the Company has repurchased approximately 1,792,000 shares for a total purchase price of $133 million. The new share repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate requirements and market conditions.
