ITEM 5.02(d). ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
On July 23, 2008, Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated ("Jones Lang
LaSalle") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors
(the "Board") has elected Roger T. Staubach to serve as a member of the
Board, effective July 21, 2008. Mr. Staubach is the Executive Chairman of
the firm's Americas region, having assumed that role on July 11, 2008, when
Jones Lang LaSalle completed the previously announced transaction to merge
its operations with The Staubach Company (the "Merger"), of which Mr.
Staubach was an indirect shareholder.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the
transaction (the "Merger Agreement"), Jones Lang LaSalle agreed that it
would cause Mr. Staubach to be appointed to the Board. Thereafter, unless
Mr. Staubach's employment with Jones Lang LaSalle or one of its
Subsidiaries is terminated by Jones Lang LaSalle without cause, by Mr.
Staubach for good reason or due to Mr. Staubach's disability (as the terms
"cause," "good reason" and "disability" are defined under Mr. Staubach's
employment arrangements with Jones Lang LaSalle) and as long as
Mr. Staubach complies with Jones Lang LaSalle's policies and guidelines
applicable to all members of the Board, Jones Lang LaSalle has agreed that
it shall cause Mr. Staubach to be included in the slate of persons
nominated to serve as directors on the Board during any Earnout Calculation
Period (as defined pursuant to the Merger Agreement). Upon any termination
of Mr. Staubach's employment by Jones Lang LaSalle with cause, by Mr.
Staubach without good reason or due to disability, Mr. Staubach shall
promptly resign from the Board.
As Mr. Staubach is employed by Jones Lang LaSalle, he will be serving
on the Board as a member of management and therefore will not qualify as an
independent member of the Board or serve on any of its Committees.
Accordingly, Mr. Staubach will not be paid any Director's fees or other
compensation for serving on the Board.
Mr. Staubach has elected to receive shares of Jones Lang LaSalle
Common Stock in connection with the Merger Agreement. The number of
shares, representing substantially all of the consideration that Mr.
Staubach received in connection with the Merger, will be calculated, known
and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form 4 for Mr.
Staubach at or about the time that a registration statement required to be
filed by the Company after the closing of the Merger becomes effective with
respect to the shares.
A copy of the press release announcing the election of Mr. Staubach
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated by reference herein.
