Janus Henderson Group plc shareholder vote on $49/share Trian-led acquisition
Trian Fund Management, L.P., holding a 20.7% stake in Janus Henderson Group plc, released an investor presentation on March 20, 2026 opposing Victory Capital's unsolicited acquisition proposal and reaffirming its superior $49 per share all-cash transaction with General Catalyst. Trian argues Victory's deal presents significant execution and closing risks, financing misrepresentations, and would result in a highly leveraged pro forma entity with poor governance. Trian maintains its transaction offers superior certainty and value with an expected mid-2026 closing.
