The 2034 Senior Notes have a principal amount of $400.0 million as of  December 31, 2025, pay interest at 5.450% semiannually on March 10 and September 10 of each year, and mature on September 10, 2034. The 2034 Senior Notes include unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $4.5 million at December 31, 2025, which will be accreted over the remaining life of the notes.

Credit Facility

 

At  December 31, 2025, we had a $200 million Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to request an increase to our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $50.0 million. The Credit Facility had a maturity date of June 30, 2028, with two one-year extension options that could be exercised at the discretion of JHG with the lender’s consent on the first and second anniversary of the date of the agreement. We exercised the options to extend the term of the Credit Facility on the first and second anniversary of the agreement. The revised maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2030. JHG and its subsidiaries may use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. The rate of interest for each interest period is the aggregate of the applicable margin, which is based on our long-term credit rating and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in relation to any loan in USD, the Sterling Overnight Index Average  (“SONIA”) in relation to any loan in GBP, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in relation to any loan in EUR or the Bank Bill Swap Rate (“BBSW”) in relation to any loan in AUD. We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is based on our long-term credit rating. If our credit rating falls below a certain threshold, as defined in the Credit Facility, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At December 31, 2025, our credit rating was at or above the threshold established by the Credit Facility, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility. As part of the Merger Agreement, our borrowings under the Credit Facility may not exceed $75 million without Parent consent.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
