Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Effective September 1, 2016, Sheila Penrose, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (the “Company”), adopted a stock trading plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”). The 10b5-1 Plan has been adopted in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers, directors and others to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders may gradually diversify their investment portfolios and spread stock trades over a period of time regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans. In accordance with the 10b5-1 rules, Ms. Penrose will have no discretion over the sales of her shares of common stock under the plan.

Under the 10b5-1 Plan, up to 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be sold into the marketplace, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. It is expected that sales under the 10b5-1 Plan will commence on September 15, 2016 and will be completed within one year. Under the 10b5-1 Plan, shares would be sold in near-equal monthly installments.

Ms. Penrose currently has an ownership interest in a total of 53,846 shares of the Company’s stock, consisting of shares of previously vested restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock units that have not yet vested.

Any transactions under the 10b5-1 Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission when due. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report 10b5-1 trading plans by other officers or directors of the Company in the future, or to report modifications or terminations of any such plans, whether or not the plan was publicly announced, except to the extent required by law.
