Richard I. Morris Jr. to step down as a non-executive

Director of Jupiter Fund Management plc

Jupiter Fund Management plc ("Jupiter", "the Company") announces that Richard I. Morris Jr. will be stepping down as a non-executive Director of the Company on 19 July 2013, three months after Jupiter's Annual General Meeting, which is to be held on 18 April 2013.

Mr Morris's resignation follows the share sale by TA Associates, L.P. and related parties on 20 March 2013, taking its shareholding below the 15 per cent. required for it to nominate two non-executive directors to Jupiter's Board.

Jamie Dundas, Chairman of Jupiter Fund Management plc, said: "Richard has made a very strong contribution to Jupiter since joining the Board at the time of our MBO in 2007. The Board would like to thank him and to wish him every success in his future endeavours."

Mr Morris commented: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Jupiter board, and will follow its future progress with great interest as a shareholder."
