Friday, May 4, 2007 Janus Board Member Hands in Resignation Michael D. Bills has joined Tom Bailey in departing from the Janus board. Bills resigned from the board as of May 2, saying there is much work to be done at his own business. Janus Capital Group Inc. (NYSE: JNS) today announced the resignation of Michael D. Bills from its board of directors effective May 2, 2007. "I have enjoyed working with the board during the last three years and I am proud of the progress we've made,” said Bills. “However, the demands and opportunities of my business do not allow me the necessary time to continue to serve as a director. I'm confident that Janus is in excellent hands and believe it's well positioned for continued success.” Steve Scheid, Chairman of the Janus board, said, "Michael has added great value and he will be missed by the board and management alike." Also, as required by New York Stock Exchange rules, Janus today reported two restricted stock awards made May 4, 2007 to Andrew Iseman.
