2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS
AND OUR ANNUAL MEETING

Q:         Why am I receiving these materials?

A:          The Board of Directors (the Board) of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (Jones Lang LaSalle, which may sometimes be referred to as the Company or as we, us or our), is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (including any adjournments or postponements, the Annual Meeting). The Annual Meeting will take place at 8:30 a.m. local time, on Thursday, May 31, 2012, at The Buckhead Club, 3344 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 2600, Atlanta, Georgia. We first released this proxy statement (Proxy Statement) to our shareholders on or about April 20, 2012.

              As one of our shareholders, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. You are also entitled to vote on each of the matters we describe in this Proxy Statement.

              A proxy is the legal designation you give to another person to vote the shares of stock you own. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is called a proxy card. We have designated three of our officers as proxies for our Annual Meeting: Colin Dyer, Lauralee E. Martin and Mark J. Ohringer. We are asking you to designate each of them separately as a proxy to vote your shares on your behalf.

Q:         Why is the Company making these materials available over the Internet rather than mailing them?

A:          Under the "Notice and Access Rule" that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has adopted, we may furnish proxy materials to our shareholders on the Internet rather than mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. This helps us meet our environmental goals and it will save significant postage, printing and processing costs. If you received a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice of Internet Availability) by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of our proxy materials unless you specifically request one. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct you about how you may (1) access and review our proxy materials on the Internet and (2) access your proxy card to vote on the Internet or by telephone.

              We anticipate that we will mail the Notice of Internet Availability to our shareholders on or about April 20, 2012.

Q:         What information does this Proxy Statement contain?

A:          The information in this Proxy Statement relates to (1) the proposals on which our shareholders will vote at the Annual Meeting and (2) the voting process. It includes the information about our Company that we are required to disclose as the basis for your decision about how to vote on each proposal.

Q:         What other information are you furnishing with this Proxy Statement?

Q:         What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

A:          The four items of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are:

•

Proposal 1: The election of eleven Directors to serve one-year terms until the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders;



•

Proposal 2: Approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of executive compensation ("say-on-pay");

Proposal 3: Approval, for purposes of Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, of the performance-based award provisions used to determine executive compensation under the Jones Lang LaSalle Stock Award and Incentive Plan; and



•

Proposal 4: Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2012.

A:          Our Board recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

•

FOR each of the eleven nominees to the Board;

•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012.

Q:         What shares may I vote?

A:          Only shareholders of record of Jones Lang LaSalle's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the Common Stock), at the close of business on Monday, March 19, 2012 (the Record Date), are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters voted upon by shareholders and is entitled to vote for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected. Based on the information we have received from BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, our transfer agent and stock registrar, there were 43,624,291 voting shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. The shares of our Common Stock are held in approximately 425 registered accounts. According to Broadridge Investor Communications, those registered accounts represent approximately 48,663 beneficial owners (which we believe includes the number of individual holders in certain mutual funds that hold our shares).

Q:         What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A:          Most Jones Lang LaSalle shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. There are some distinctions between (1) shares you hold of record in your own name and (2) those you own beneficially through a broker or nominee, as follows:

Shareholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Jones Lang LaSalle's stock registrar, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, then with respect to those shares we consider you to be the shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner

If you hold shares in a brokerage account or by a trustee or another nominee, then we consider you to be the beneficial owner of shares held "in street name," and we are furnishing these proxy materials to you through your broker, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and we are also inviting you to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided instructions to you on how to vote your shares.

Q:         How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

A:          You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a Jones Lang LaSalle shareholder as of the close of business on Monday, March 19, 2012 or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present a photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a shareholder of record, we will verify your name against the list of shareholders of record on the Record Date prior to admitting you to the Annual Meeting. If you are not a shareholder of

3

Table of Contents

record but hold shares through a broker, trustee or nominee (in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement prior to March 19, 2012, a copy of the voting instruction card furnished to you, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, we will not admit you to the Annual Meeting.

Q:         How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

A:          You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting those shares you hold in your name as the shareholder of record. You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting shares you hold beneficially in street name only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Q:         How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

A:          Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. Shareholders may deliver their proxies either:

1.

Electronically over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com;



2.

By telephone (please see your proxy card for instructions); or



3.

By requesting, completing and submitting a properly signed paper proxy card as outlined in the Notice of Internet Availability.

Q:         May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A:          You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by:

1.

Granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy);



2.

Providing a written notice of revocation prior to your shares being voted; or



3.

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

              A written notice of revocation must be sent to our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office, which we provide above. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote (1) by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee or (2) if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Q:         Who can help answer my questions?

A:          If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, please contact Broadridge Investor Communications at +1.631.254.7400.

              If you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement or voting materials, please contact Broadridge Investor Communications at the number above or the Company's Investor Relations team at +1.312.228.2430.

Q:         How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A:          The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of a majority of shares of our Common Stock that are issued and outstanding and are entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy.

Q:         What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A:          The Company has established a majority-vote standard for the election of Directors. Accordingly, in order to be elected, each Director must receive at least a majority of the votes cast for him or her by holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting for Directors.

              The affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast by holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be necessary to:

•

Approve executive compensation through a non-binding advisory "say-on-pay" vote;



•

Approve the performance-based award provisions used to determine executive approval under the Jones Lang LaSalle Stock Award and Incentive Plan; and



•

Ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012.

              Although the advisory vote on executive compensation is non-binding, our Board will review the result of the vote and, consistent with our philosophy of shareholder engagement, will take it into account in making a determination concerning executive compensation in the future.

Q:         How are votes counted?

A:          For the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, we will count shares of Common Stock represented in person or by properly executed proxy. We will treat shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter and broker non-votes (defined below) as shares that are present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but we will not count them as votes cast on such matter.

              Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect in determining whether Director nominees have received the requisite number of affirmative votes.

              Abstentions and broker non-votes will also have no effect on (1) the voting with respect to the approval of the non-binding vote on executive compensation, (2) the approval of the performance-based

award provisions used to determine executive approval under the Jones Lang LaSalle Stock Award and Incentive Plan or (3) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP.

              Brokers holding shares of stock for beneficial owners have the authority to vote on certain "routine" matters, in their discretion, in the event they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners. However, when a proposal is not a "routine" matter and a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the broker may not vote the shares for that proposal. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner signs and returns a proxy with respect to those shares of stock held in a fiduciary capacity, but does not vote on a particular matter because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Q:         What happens if I sign but do not give specific voting instructions on my proxy?

A:          If you hold shares in your own name and you submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement.

              If you hold shares through a broker, trustee or other nominee and do not provide your broker with specific voting instructions, under the rules that govern brokers in such circumstances, your broker will not have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 1 (election of Directors), Proposal 2 ("say-on-pay") or Proposal 3 (performance-based award provisions used to determine executive approval), but will have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 4 (ratification of KPMG LLP).

Q:         What happens if a Director does not receive a majority of the votes cast for him or her?

A:          Under our By-Laws, if a Director does not receive the vote of at least the majority of the votes cast, that Director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. Our Nominating and Governance Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board is required to take action with respect to the resignation, and publicly disclose its rationale, within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. We provide additional details about our majority voting procedures under "Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters" below.

Q:         What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:          There are circumstances under which you may receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one Notice. Please vote each different proxy you receive, since each one represents different shares that you own.

Q:         Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

A:          We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and then disclose the final results in a Form 8-K filing with the SEC within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting.

Q:         What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders or to nominate individuals to serve as Directors?

A:          Shareholder proposals, including nominations for individuals to serve as directors, intended to be presented at the 2013 Annual Meeting and included in Jones Lang LaSalle's Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to that Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) must be received by Jones Lang LaSalle at our principal executive office by December 20, 2012. Our Bylaws require that proposals of shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be submitted not later than February 28, 2013 and not earlier than January 30, 2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

              Our policies and practices reflect corporate governance initiatives that we believe comply with:

•

The listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), on which our Common Stock is traded;

•

The corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as currently in effect;

•

SEC regulations; and

•

The General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, where Jones Lang LaSalle is incorporated.

              We maintain a corporate governance section on our public website, www.joneslanglasalle.com, which includes key information about the corporate governance initiatives that are set forth in our:

•

By-Laws;

•

Corporate Governance Guidelines;

•

Charters for each of the three standing Committees of our Board of Directors described below;

Statement of Qualifications of Members of the Board of Directors; and

•

Code of Business Ethics.

              We will make any of this information available in print to any shareholder who requests it in writing from our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office set forth above.

              The Board of Directors regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies our By-Laws, Guidelines and Committee Charters accordingly. Our Code of Business Ethics applies to all employees of the Company, including all of our executive officers, as well as to the members of our Board of Directors.

              Jones Lang LaSalle is committed to the values of effective corporate governance and the highest ethical standards. We believe that these values will promote the best long-term performance of the Company for the benefit of our shareholders, clients, staff and other constituencies. To this end, over the past years we have adopted the following significant corporate governance policies and practices, which we then discuss in more detail below:

•

Annual elections of all Directors;

•

Annual "say on pay" votes by shareholders with respect to executive compensation;

17

Table of Contents

•

Right of shareholders owning 30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock to call a special meeting of shareholders for any purpose;

•

Required approval by the Nominating and Governance Committee of any related-party transactions;

•

Information about the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

              The Board, whose members our shareholders elect annually, is the ultimate decision-making body of the Company except with respect to those matters reserved to the shareholders either by applicable law, our Articles of Incorporation or our By-Laws. The Board elects the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and certain other members of the senior management team. Senior management is responsible for conducting the Company's business under the oversight of the Board to enhance the long-term value of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders. The Board acts as an advisor and counselor to the Company's senior management and monitors its performance.

Director Independence

              A majority of our Board consists of independent Directors. All of the members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees of our Board are independent Directors. For a Director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the Director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board observes all criteria for independence and experience established by the NYSE (including Rule 303A in its Listed Company Manual) and by other governing laws and regulations.

              The Board has determined that Hugo Bagué, Darryl Hartley-Leonard, DeAnne Julius, Ming Lu, Martin H. Nesbitt, Sheila A. Penrose, David B. Rickard and Thomas C. Theobald, all of whom are current members of our Board, are independent according to the criteria we describe above. These are the Directors we describe in this Proxy Statement as being Non-Executive Directors (meaning Directors we do not otherwise employ as Corporate Officers).

Review of Relationships and Related Transactions

              The Board regularly reviews any relationships that a Director may have with the Company (other than solely in his or her role as a member of the Board), including how any such relationships may impact his or her independence in the case of Non-Executive Directors.

18

---

Table of Contents

              After a review of the written responses from our Directors to inquiries from the Company, and based on the Company's records, the only such relationships of which we are aware with respect to the nominees for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting are the matters we specifically disclose below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" with respect to (1) Ms. Penrose, the Chairman of the Board and a Non-Executive Director, (2) Mr. Theobald, a Non-Executive Director, and (3) Mr. Staubach, a member of Company management who is therefore not an independent Director.

              With respect to Ms. Penrose, the relationship involves her position as the Co-Chairman and participating instructor of the Corporate Leadership Center (the CLC), for which she receives an annual retainer in a fixed amount determined by the Board of Directors of that organization. The CLC is a not-for-profit business and academic forum that provides development courses for corporate leaders through two principal programs, CEO Perspectives and Leading Women Executives. Jones Lang LaSalle has paid for the cost of certain of our executives to attend CLC programs in the past and anticipate we will do so in the future. Such costs are on the same terms and conditions available to participants from other companies, and Ms. Penrose's compensation from the CLC does not change as the result of, or depend upon, the participation of our executives. The amounts involved are immaterial to each of the Company, the CLC and Ms. Penrose.

              With respect to Mr. Theobald, the relationship involves his personal investments in two different vehicles, one of which provides co-investment capital to certain funds sponsored by our LaSalle Investment Management business and the second of which offers an equity participation in certain real estate projects being developed by our Spaulding & Slye Investments operation and was made generally available to a group of management individuals within our Americas business. Mr. Theobald made each of his investments on the same terms and conditions available to other similarly situated investors. Moreover, neither investment involves an amount of money that is material from a financial standpoint either to Mr. Theobald individually or to the Company. Therefore, the Board believes that the relationship does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that detracts from Mr. Theobald's independence.

Non-Executive Chairman of the Board; Lead Independent Director

              Since January 1, 2005, Ms. Penrose, a Non-Executive Director, has held the role of the Chairman of the Board. The Board has determined that Ms. Penrose will also serve as the Lead Independent Director of the Board for purposes of the NYSE's corporate governance rules.

              In her role as Chairman of the Board, Ms. Penrose's duties include the following:

•

Chair Board meetings and encourage constructive engagement and open communications;

•

Preside over regularly scheduled executive sessions of our Non-Executive Directors;

•

Coordinate the activities of, and facilitate communications among, our Non-Executive Directors;

•

Chair our annual shareholders' meetings;

19

---

Table of Contents

•

Establish each Board meeting agenda, consulting with the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, and ensure that the agenda and materials are complete, timely and address the key priorities of the Company and its Board;

•

Represent the Company with clients and shareholders as required;

•

Act as a mentor and confidant to the Chief Executive Officer in support of his successful performance, attend internal Company meetings as required and encourage direct communications between the Chief Executive Officer and individual members of the Board; and

•

Maintain regular and open dialogue with Board members between meetings.

              The Board considers the election of a Chairman annually, immediately following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In May 2011 the Board extended the term of Ms. Penrose's appointment to the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time the Board will re-evaluate whether to further extend her appointment.

              The Board has determined that each person who serves as Chairman of the Board from time to time, if that person is independent, will automatically also serve as a member of each of the Board's Committees, although not necessarily as its Chairman.

              Our leadership structure separates our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions and makes the latter our Lead Independent Director. We believe this approach, which corporate governance experts generally view as the best practice, is useful and appropriate for a complex and global organization such as ours.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

              We provide Directors who join our Board with an initial orientation about the Company, including our business operations, strategy, policies and governance. We then provide all of our Directors with resources and on-going education opportunities to assist them in staying current about developments in corporate governance and critical issues relating to the operation of public company boards and their committees. Our Board also visits Company offices in different cities as part of its regularly scheduled Board meetings, and typically this includes sessions with management, staff and clients.

Annual Board Self-Assessments and Senior Management Assessments

              Our Board annually conducts a written self-evaluation (with anonymous responses permitted) to determine whether it and its Committees are functioning effectively and how they might enhance their effectiveness. As part of this process, (1) our Chairman of the Board also engages in individual discussions with each Board member about his or her views and (2) the Chairman of our Compensation Committee solicits input from the Board members about the leadership by the Chairman of the Board. Additionally, our Board solicits input (also on an anonymous basis) from the members of senior management who regularly interact with the Board in order to determine management's view about how effectively the Board interacts with the Company and oversees its

strategies and execution. The Board members review and discuss the responses to both of these surveys.

Policy on Trading Stock and Hedging

              We have a policy that all Directors, the Corporate Officers listed in this Proxy Statement and certain other designated individuals (1) must pre-clear all trades in Company stock with our General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel and (2) may not trade during designated 'blackout periods" except under approved SEC Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. We also prohibit hedging transactions involving our stock.

The Board and Board Committees

Our Non-Executive Directors meet in executive session without management participation during every in-person Board meeting.

              See also the report of the Audit Committee set forth in the section headed "Audit Committee Report."

              Our Board has determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is "financially literate" and that at least one of the members has "accounting or related financial management expertise," in each case as required by the NYSE. Our Board has also determined that at least one of the members of the Committee, Mr. Rickard, its Chairman, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" for purposes of the applicable SEC rule.

The Compensation Committee

              Messrs. Theobald (Chairman) and Lu and Mmes. Julius and Penrose served as members of the Compensation Committee during the entire year of 2011. Mr. Bagué has served as a member of the Committee since March 1, 2011.

              Under the terms of its Charter, the Compensation Committee acts on behalf of the Board to formulate, evaluate and approve the compensation of the Company's executive officers and to oversee all compensation programs involving the use of the Company's Common Stock. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee has the full authority of the Board to, among other things:

•

Annually review and approve corporate objectives relevant to the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, evaluate the Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of those goals and objectives and determine and certify his or her compensation levels based on such evaluation;

Table of Contents

•

Annually review and approve the corporate objectives of the other executive officers of the Company who serve on its Global Executive Committee, which is the most senior internal management committee consisting of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating and Financial Officer and the leaders of our four principal business segments, certify performance against those goals and approve the compensation of such other executive officers;

•

Review and approve any employment contracts, deferred compensation plans, severance arrangements and other agreements (including any change in control provisions that are included) for the executive officers of the Company who serve on its Global Executive Committee and the overall programs under which any such arrangements may be offered to other employees of the Company; and

•

Effectively align compensation opportunities with prudent risk taking and, where required, submit equity and other compensation matters to the Company's shareholders for their approval.

              See also the report of the Compensation Committee set forth in the section headed "Compensation Committee Report."

              Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.    There are no Compensation Committee interlocks or insider participation on the Compensation Committee. Certain executive officers attend meetings of the Compensation Committee in order to present information and answer questions of the members of the Compensation Committee.

              Relationship Between Compensation Design and Risk-Taking.    We periodically consider whether our compensation policies may be reasonably expected to create incentives for our people to take risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on either our short-term or longer-term financial results or operations. We continue to believe that they do not. We also have not identified historical situations where we believe that our compensation practices drove behaviors or actions that resulted in material adverse effects on our business or prospects.

              Broadly speaking, we take two different approaches to compensating our people within the three regions that provide Real Estate Services:

•

For predominantly revenue producing positions (such as brokers), we provide minimal base salaries and then commissions or shares in annual incentive pools that directly relate to financial production results according to individual transactions; and

•

For positions that are oriented more toward longer-term client relationship businesses (such as in our corporate outsourcing businesses) or that are either leader-coach positions (such as positions leading businesses, markets or teams) or internal staff positions (such as in marketing or human resources), we provide base salaries and then shares in annual incentive pools that are determined from different combinations of overall corporate or business unit financial results, achievement of key performance indicators on individual client accounts, client survey results and achievement of individual performance goals.

              In our LaSalle Investment Management business, we use base salaries and annual incentive pools that relate to overall global performance of the business as well as the achievement of individual

24

Table of Contents

objectives relating to specific performance of investments, fund raising and other metrics and activities that support the success of the business. The long-term incentive plan for the senior leadership of the business relates primarily to the strength of cash-flow annuity income rather than incentive fees. Since incentive fees relate to the performance over longer periods of time of investments made for clients, they provide by themselves significant inherent alignment with client interests.

              We believe these different approaches are appropriate to their circumstances and that they align well with both near-term and longer-term shareholder interests. Straight commissions are restricted to transactions that are completed and therefore do not have significant future risks of negative returns to the firm. Annual incentive pools and longer-term compensation are generally related to the satisfaction of clients over time, and will be adversely impacted in the event of negative client experiences or relationships.

              In the case of our most highly-compensated Executive Officers, we discuss design and risk issues in more detail below as part of our Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

              Where we use them, our restricted stock programs have fairly significant vesting periods of up to five years, and therefore are designed to promote behaviors that are in the longer-term interests of our shareholders and stock price. We have also begun to require that certain restricted stock awards to our most highly compensated Executive Officers be retained for another twelve months even after they have fully vested.

The Nominating and Governance Committee

              Mmes. Penrose (Chairman) and Julius and Messrs. Hartley-Leonard, Lu, Rickard and Theobald served as members of the Nominating and Governance Committee during the entire year of 2011. Messrs. Bagué and Nesbitt have served as members of the Committee since March 1, 2011.

              Under the terms of its Charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee acts on behalf of the Board to (1) identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for Director nominees for each Annual Meeting of Shareholders and to fill vacancies on the Board occurring between such Annual Meetings, (2) recommend to the Board nominees for Directors to serve on each Committee of the Board, (3) develop and recommend to the Board the Corporate Governance Guidelines and (4) lead the Board in its annual review of the Board's performance. In fulfilling its duties, the Nominating and Governance Committee has the full authority of the Board to, among other things:

•

Adopt and periodically review the criteria for the selection of Directors and members of Board Committees and, when necessary, conduct searches for and otherwise assist in attracting highly qualified candidates to serve on the Board, including candidates recommended by shareholders;

•

Review the qualifications of new candidates for Board membership and the performance of incumbent Directors;

•

Periodically review the compensation paid to Non-Executive Directors for their services as members of the Board and its Committees and make recommendations to the Board for any appropriate adjustments;

•

Periodically review and bring to the attention of the Board current and emerging trends in corporate governance issues and how they may affect the business operations of the Company;

•

Periodically review the structure, size, composition and operation of the Board and each Committee of the Board and recommend Committee assignments to the Board, including rotation, re-assignment or removal of any Committee member; and

•

Oversee and periodically review the orientation program for new Directors and continuing education programs for existing Directors.

The Board's Role in Enterprise Risk Oversight

              The Board and its Committees take active roles in overseeing management's identification and mitigation of the Company's enterprise risks. The Audit Committee focuses on the process by which management continuously identifies its enterprise risks and monitors the mitigation efforts that have been established. The Board focuses on substantive aspects of management's evaluation of the Company's enterprise risks and the efforts it is taking to avoid and mitigate them. Each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee also monitors and discusses with management those risks that are inherent in the matters that are within each such Committee's purview.

              As a standing agenda item for its quarterly meetings, the Audit Committee discusses with management the process that has been followed in order to establish an enterprise risk management report. This report reflects (1) the then current most significant enterprise risks that management believes the Company is facing, (2) the efforts management is taking to avoid or mitigate the identified risks and (3) how the Company's internal audit function proposes to align its activities with the identified risks. The management representatives who regularly attend the Audit Committee meetings and participate in the preparation of the report and the discussion include our (1) Chief Operating and Financial Officer, who chairs our Global Operating Committee, which is the internal management committee that is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management process, (2) General Counsel and (3) Director of Internal Audit. At the meetings, the Director of Internal Audit reviews with the Committee how the report has informed the decisions about what aspects of the Company that Internal Audit will review as part of its regular audit procedures, as well as how various programmatic activities by Internal Audit have been influenced by the conclusions drawn in the report.

              The enterprise risk management report is provided to the full Board as a regular part of the materials for its quarterly meetings. At those meetings, the Board asks questions of management about the conclusions drawn in the enterprise risk management report and makes substantive comments and suggestions. Additionally, during the course of each year, the Audit Committee (or sometimes the full Board) meets directly on one or multiple occasions with the senior-most leaders of our critical corporate functions, including Finance, Accounting, Information Technology, Human Resources, Tax, Legal and Compliance, and Insurance, to consider, among other topics, the enterprise risks those internal organizations face and how they are managing and addressing them. At each Board meeting, the Chairman of our Audit Committee reports to the full Board on the activities of the Audit Committee, including with respect to its oversight of the enterprise risk management process.

26

Table of Contents

              As a regular part of its establishment of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers how the structuring of our compensation programs will affect risk-taking and the extent to which they will drive alignment with the long-term success of the enterprise and the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee comments on this aspect of our compensation program in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" that is a part of this Proxy Statement.

              In the normal course of its activities, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews emerging best practices in corporate governance and stays abreast of changes in laws and regulations that affect the way we conduct our corporate governance, which represents another important aspect of overall enterprise risk management.

              Moreover, as part of its consideration of our Annual Report to Shareholders, our Board reviews and comments on our Risk Factors section, which is another way in which it participates in the consideration of the significant enterprise risks the Company faces and how the Company attempts to manage them in an appropriate way.

Nominations Process for Directors

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

              The Nominating and Governance Committee employs a variety of methods to identify and evaluate nominees for Director. The Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Committee would consider various potential candidates for Director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through then current Board members, Company executives, shareholders, professional search firms or other persons. The Committee would evaluate candidates at regular or special meetings and may consider candidates at any point during the year depending upon the circumstances. As described below, the Committee would consider properly submitted shareholder nominations of candidates for election to the Board at an Annual Meeting. Following verification of the shareholder status of the persons proposing candidates, the Committee would aggregate and consider recommendations at a regularly scheduled meeting, which would generally be the first or second meeting prior to the issuance of a proxy statement for the subsequent Annual Meeting. If a shareholder provides any materials in connection with the nomination of a Director candidate, the materials would be forwarded to the Committee. The Committee would also review materials that professional search firms or other parties provide in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder. If the Committee nominated a candidate proposed by a professional search firm, the Committee would expect to compensate such firm for its services, but the Board would not pay any compensation for suggestions of candidates from any other source.

Director Qualifications; Diversity Considerations

              Our Board has adopted a Statement of Qualifications of Members of the Board of Directors, which is available on our website and contains the membership criteria that apply to nominees to be recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee. According to these criteria, the Board should be composed of individuals who have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service. In addition, the members of the Board should possess the acumen, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the Board and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to the deliberations of the Board. Importantly, the members of the Board must have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and

27

---

Table of Contents

a dedication to serving the interests of all the shareholders, and they must be able to make themselves readily available to the Board in the fulfillment of their duties. All members of the Board must also satisfy all additional criteria for Board membership that may be set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. These criteria set forth the particular attributes that the Committee considers when evaluating a candidate's management and leadership experience, the skills and diversity that a candidate would contribute to the Board and the candidate's integrity and professionalism.

              For a number of years, our Nominating and Governance Committee has maintained an internal list of the more specific experiences and attributes that it seeks to have cumulatively reflected on the Board. While we do not expect each Director to necessarily contribute all of the desired criteria, we do seek to have the criteria represented on the Board as deeply as possible in their totality. Accordingly, when we are searching for a new Director, we seek to fill any relative gaps in the overall criteria that we may have identified at the time. The desired Board composition criteria that the Committee has identified include, among others:

•

International business experience;

•

Professional services experience, including with respect to culture, talent development and compensation matters;

•

Operating experience with a business for which commercial real estate is a significant part of the business model;

•

Operating experience with asset management;

•

Financial or accounting expertise;

•

Gender, ethnic and/or racial diversity;

•

A current operating role or other current directorships that will promote continuing business acumen; and

•

Experience reviewing, approving and/or managing corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and financings.

              In terms of the Committee's goal to have a diverse Board, the Committee believes that diversity of background and perspective, combined with relevant professional experience, benefits the Company and its shareholders. The Committee believes that the overall composition of the current Board reflects the desired criteria we describe above as well as a significant level of diversity from a number of different and important perspectives.

Shareholder Nominees

              The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider properly submitted nominations of candidates for membership on the Board as described above. Any shareholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Committee should include the nominee's name and qualifications for Board membership and evidence of the consent of the proposed nominee to serve as a Director if elected. Nominations should be addressed to our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office set forth above. Consistent with the deadline for submission of shareholder proposals intended

28

---

Table of Contents

to be included in our Proxy Statement generally, shareholder nominations for individuals to be considered for election at the 2013 Annual Meeting must be received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office by no later than December 20, 2012.

Majority Voting for Directors

              Our By-Laws provide that, except with respect to vacancies, each Director shall be elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present. If, however, at least fourteen days before the date we file our definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC, the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected (a Contested Election), the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a Director must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that Director (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either "for" or "against" that Director's election).

              In the event an incumbent Director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a Contested Election, such incumbent Director must promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (or another Committee designated by the Board under the By-Laws) must make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent Director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board must act on the resignation, taking into account the Committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release and filing an appropriate disclosure with the SEC) its decision regarding the resignation and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision, within 90 days following certification of the election results. The Committee in making its recommendations, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The Director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. If such incumbent Director's resignation is not accepted by the Board, the Director will continue to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal.

              If an incumbent Director's resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a non-incumbent nominee for Director is not elected, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy or may decrease the size of the Board.

Calling for Special Shareholders' Meetings

              After the approval of our shareholders in May, 2011, we amended our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws to provide that special meetings of our shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by any of (1) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (2) the President, (3) the Board of Directors or (4) the Corporate Secretary at the request in writing of shareholders owning at least thirty percent (30%) of the capital stock of the Company that are issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting

Non-Executive Director Compensation

              Under its Charter, our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for determining and recommending to the Board the overall compensation program for our Non-Executive Directors.

              We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation for the members of our Board. The Committee seeks to provide compensation to our Non-Executive Directors that is:

•

Sufficient to attract and retain the highest caliber individuals who meet the established criteria for Board membership;

•

Reflective of the demands placed on Board and Committee membership by a complex and geographically dispersed, global organization operating in highly competitive and dynamic markets; and

•

Commensurate with the compensation paid to directors at other firms under broadly similar circumstances.

              Annually, the Committee gathers data from various studies that are published by independent non-profit organizations (for example, the National Association of Corporate Directors) and compensation consulting firms (for example, Towers Watson and Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc.). For comparison purposes, the Committee then uses the studies and data that appear to be most relevant and most closely associated with the Company's own circumstances. The Committee seeks information regarding:

•

Board retainers;

•

Cash versus equity compensation;

•

Compensation for serving on committees and for chairing committees; and

•

Equity ownership guidelines and compensation for non-executive chairmen.

              Based upon an internal guideline, the Committee then seeks to make any adjustment to the overall compensation program deemed necessary to satisfy the above criteria approximately every other year. In order to determine the compensation of our Chairman of the Board, our Committee meets in executive session, led by the Chairman of our Compensation Committee, without our Chairman of the Board being present.

Compensation for Our Non-Executive Directors

              Compensation Program.    Effective January 1, 2012, the Nominating and Governance Committee changed the overall structure of the compensation program for our Non-Executive Directors. We have established a "stewardship" approach whereby we have eliminated individual meeting fees. Accordingly, each Non-Executive Director receives:

•

An annual cash retainer of $70,000, paid quarterly; and

30

---

Table of Contents

•

An annual grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $120,000, with the number of restricted stock units based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date, which is the day after the Annual Meeting. Subject to continued service on the Board, half of the restricted stock units vest on the 18 month anniversary of the date of grant and the other half vest on the third anniversary.

              In addition to the above amounts:

•

The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $25,000;

•

The Chairman of the Compensation Committee receives an annual retainer of $25,000;

•

The Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee receives an annual retainer of $10,000;

•

Each member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairman) receives an annual retainer of $5,000;

•

Each member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairman) receives an annual retainer of $5,000; and

•

Each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee (other than the Chairman) receives an annual retainer of $2,500.

              The Nominating and Governance Committee has determined that there will be no increases to the compensation of our Non-Executive Directors during the remainder of 2012 or in 2013.

              Restricted stock unit awards continue to vest according to their original schedules in the event of the death or disability of a Non-Executive Director. They become fully vested if the Non-Executive Director retires, is not re-nominated or is not re-elected by the shareholders. If a Non-Executive Director resigns or is terminated for cause, he or she forfeits all remaining unvested awards.

              Jones Lang LaSalle reimburses all Directors for reasonable travel, lodging and related expenses incurred in attending meetings.

              We do not pay any Directors' fees to Directors who are also officers or employees of Jones Lang LaSalle (currently Colin Dyer, Lauralee E. Martin and Roger T. Staubach).

              Election to Receive Equity in Lieu of Cash.    We permit Non-Executive Directors to elect to receive and defer shares of our Common Stock in lieu of any or all of their cash retainers, on a quarterly basis, based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the last trading day of each immediately preceding quarter.

              Election to Participate in the U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan.    We permit our Non-Executive Directors who are subject to United States income tax to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan that we have established for certain employees in the United States. The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation program under which the eligible members of our Board may voluntarily elect to defer up to 100% of their retainers. Elections are made on an annual basis and in

31

Table of Contents

compliance with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Each of Ms. Penrose, Mr. Hartley-Leonard and Mr. Theobald has previously deferred certain portions of his or her Director's fees into the Plan.

              The amounts of any compensation deferred under the Plan remain an asset of the Company and constitute an unsecured obligation of the Company to pay the participants in the future. As such, they are subject to the claims of other creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Gains and losses on deferred amounts are credited based on the performance of a hypothetical investment in a variety of mutual fund investment choices selected by the participants. A participant's account may or may not appreciate depending upon the performance of the hypothetical investment selections the participants make. Participants must elect certain future distribution dates on which all or a portion of their accounts will be paid to them in cash, including in the case of a change in control of the Company. The Company does not make any contributions to the Plan beyond the amounts of compensation that participants themselves elect to defer.

Compensation for Our Chairman of the Board

              As a Non-Executive Director who was elected to the position of Chairman of the Board effective January 1, 2005, Ms. Penrose receives an annual retainer in addition to the foregoing amounts in consideration of undertaking the responsibilities and time commitments associated with that position as the Board has established it. The Chairman's annual retainer for 2012 is $140,000 in cash, payable quarterly.

              Ms. Penrose is permitted to apply her Chairman's retainer to the programs described above with respect to electing to receive shares in lieu of cash or to deferring amounts under the U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan.

Non-Executive Director Compensation for 2011

              The following table provides information about the compensation we paid to our current Non-Executive Directors in respect of their services during 2011:

Table of Contents

Non-Executive Director Stock Ownership

              Non-Executive Directors are subject to a stock ownership guideline whereby we expect that, at a minimum, by the third anniversary of his or her first election to the Board, each Director shall have acquired, and for as long as he or she remains a member of the Board will maintain ownership of, at least the lesser of (1) 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock or (2) shares of the Company's Common Stock worth $300,000 based on the then most recent closing price thereof. All shares of unvested restricted stock that have been granted to a Director, or which a Director has elected to take in lieu of cash compensation or has deferred under any deferred compensation plan, count toward each of the indicated minimum number of shares and dollar value. The net value of "in-the-money" options count toward the indicated minimum dollar value.

Attendance by Members of the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders

              We strongly encourage each member of our Board of Directors to attend each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of the members of our Board of Directors at the time were present at our previous Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 26, 2011.

Communicating with Our Board of Directors

              Shareholders and interested parties may communicate directly with our Board of Directors. If you wish to do so, please send an e-mail to boardofdirectors@am.jll.com, which our Corporate Secretary will forward to all Directors. If you wish to communicate only with our Non-Executive Directors, or specifically with any Director individually (including our Chairman of the Board, who serves as the Lead Independent Director, or the Chairman of any of our Committees), please so note on your e-mail. Alternatively, you may send a communication by mail to any or all of our Directors, or specifically to any or all of our Non-Executive Directors, care of our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office set forth above, and our Corporate Secretary will forward it unopened to the intended recipient(s).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

              In this section we provide our shareholders with the material information necessary to understand our compensation policies. We also discuss the compensation we awarded for 2011 to the executives who comprised our Global Executive Committee (GEC), which includes our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating and Financial Officer, the three other most highly compensated Executive Officers, as well as a sixth Executive Officer whose compensation we voluntarily disclose for completeness and transparency. We refer to the six members of our GEC in this Proxy Statement as our Named Executive Officers:

•

Colin Dyer, our Chief Executive Officer and President;

•

Lauralee E. Martin, our Chief Operating and Financial Officer; and

•

The Chief Executive Officers for our four principal business segments:

•

Alastair Hughes, Asia Pacific;

•

Jeff A. Jacobson, LaSalle Investment Management (LaSalle);

•

Peter C. Roberts, Americas; and

•

Christian Ulbrich, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

              This section consists of:

•

Our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which explains how and why we paid our Named Executive Officers for their efforts in 2011; and

•

Compensation tables, which present the specific amounts and types of compensation we paid to our Named Executive Officers for 2011 and in comparison to 2010 and 2009.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

              Our Compensation Committee (which is sometimes referred to as the Committee, we or us for purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis) oversees the Company's executive compensation programs. Among its responsibilities, the Committee reviews and annually approves the compensation we pay to all of the Company's Named Executive Officers.

              The Committee designs the executive compensation program to motivate the Named Executive Officers to lead the Company toward achievement of its short-term and long-term financial and strategic goals, in addition to increasing shareholder value, all without encouraging excessive risk-taking. At the beginning of each year, we establish executive compensation opportunities against achievement of (1) targeted financial results and (2) individual performance on non-financial strategic objectives.

              We believe that our compensation program has proven, during a particularly challenging five-year period including the global financial crisis and its aftermath, that it provides the right balance between the short-term and long-term performance goals that will best motivate our senior management to (1) lead the Company and (2) focus its people on the disciplines necessary to remain a strong competitor that can continue to gain market share and improve operationally in both prosperous and difficult times. We also believe our compensation program continues to provide important retention incentives and to promote the strategic objectives that management and the Board view as the most significant.

Executive Summary Regarding 2011 Compensation

              2011 Perspectives: Record Revenue and Significantly Strengthened Market Positions.    The Company finished 2011 with record consolidated revenue levels and solid performance by each of its three geographic Real Estate Services segments and by LaSalle Investment Management, which constitutes its fourth business segment. Within the dynamic and sometimes weakened economic conditions of many of the countries in which it operates, the Company was able to maintain strong market shares and healthy pipelines.

              Among its financial and operational highlights for 2011, the Company:

•

Recognized record revenue of $3.6 billion in 2011, a 23 percent increase over 2010.

•

Generated adjusted net income of $215 million, 29 percent higher than 2010 totals.

•

Maintained its investment-grade balance sheet throughout the year and realized resulting benefits from low interest expense. Outstanding debt on its $1.1 billion long-term credit facility was $463 million at year-end, with fourth quarter reduction of total net debt position by more than $180 million. The Company's strong balance sheet continues to serve as a competitive differentiator.

•

Completed a number of strategic mergers designed to extend and augment its geographic platform and service capabilities. In particular, the merger with King Sturge made the Company industry leader in the United Kingdom and Europe as a whole.

•

Extended its position as leading provider of real estate services to corporate occupiers, winning 62 new outsourcing assignments, expanding our relationship with 38 clients and renewing 41 contracts.

•

Increased Capital Markets and Hotels revenues increased by more than 50% in 2011 compared to 2010.

•

Through LaSalle, raised approximately $5 billion of net capital in 2011 and invested more than $4 billion in new client investments for funds and separate accounts across all geographic segments. LaSalle's investment performance for clients equaled or exceeded benchmarks for all of its business segments.

Table of Contents

For example, in 2011 we delivered 40% of the total compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer in the form of restricted stock or deferred cash that contains service and forfeiture provisions. The charts below indicate the targeted and actual allocations of annual and long-term compensation for our CEO and, in the aggregate, for the remaining five Named Executive Officers.

              Changes to Compensation Practices in 2011.    Our first advisory "say on pay" vote resulted in over 80% of votes cast approving our compensation program for Named Executive Officers. In addition, consistent with the recommendation of management, shareholders voted for annual advisory "say on pay" voting, and we have implemented that recommendation. We evaluated the results of the 2011 "say on pay" vote as part of the annual overall assessment of our compensation program for our Named Executive Officers. Noting the support from shareholders for our program, we determined that it continues to satisfy our objectives and to remain consistent with the compensation philosophy we discuss below in more detail. Accordingly, the Committee did not make any material changes to the overall compensation program for Named Executive Officers in 2011. However, we did incorporate the following evolving best practices within our executive compensation program:

              Pursuit of Best Practices in Executive Compensation.    We continually evaluate those attributes we consider to be best practices in executive compensation, and we seek to infuse them into our program. Those attributes, which we believe our programs reflect, include the following:

•

Performance-based.

Comment:    The Company has a long-standing commitment to a performance-based culture and alignment with shareholder interests. Accordingly, we seek to structure our

38

Table of Contents

executive compensation programs so that the most significant portion of the total compensation opportunity for our Named Executive Officers will be directly related to some measure of net income performance and the other strategic objectives that the Committee, in collaboration with the senior management team, believes will most directly drive shareholder value

•

Balanced mix of short-term and long-term compensation.

Comment:    We design our total compensation program to focus our Named Executive Officers on driving both annual financial results as well as on the need to create long-term shareholder value. We accomplish this through two long-term incentive plans, one of which applies separately to the CEO of our LaSalle business and the second of which applies to the remaining members of our Global Executive Committee. We also automatically convert a minimum of 15% of any Named Executive Officer's annual incentives into restricted stock units that vest over a 30-month service period. Once the shares have vested, we then require the Named Executive Officers to retain 50% of the net shares for an additional 12 months.

•

Stock Ownership and Share Retention.

Comment:    In order to further align the long-term interests of key employees with the interests of shareholders, we have established ownership guidelines for our senior officers generally. In order to promote compliance with the guidelines, our Named Executive Officers automatically receive an additional 20% of their annual incentive in restricted stock units, rather than in cash, under the Company's Stock Ownership Program. (We provide a description of our broad-based equity compensation "SOP" in more detail below.)

Named Executive Officers may voluntarily opt out of SOP each year if they are in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the minimum amount of equity ownership necessary to opt out is the lesser of (i) six times annual base salary or (ii) 60,000 shares. In the case of the remaining Named Executive Officers, the minimum amount of equity ownership necessary to opt out is the lesser of (i) four times annual base salary or (ii) 40,000 shares. For our Named Executive Officers, the SOP requirement is in addition to the minimum equity delivery requirement we described in the previous paragraph (for which there is no opt-out capability). All of the Named Executive Officers elected to opt out of SOP for their 2011 incentives.

The following table indicates the current share ownership of our Named Executive Officers relative to the guideline as of March 19, 2012, when the price per share of our Common Stock at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange was $86.86. Each

39

of our Named Executive Officers currently exceeds the minimum stock ownership guideline.

•

Balanced Relationship Between Compensation Design and Risk.

Comment:    We structure the compensation opportunity for our Named Executive Officers in order to minimize the chance that it will provide an incentive to take risks with the business that could have a material adverse effect on either our short-term or long-term financial results or operations. We do this by (1) increasing the compensation opportunity for each Named Executive Officer with the achievement of correspondingly greater stretch financial and strategic operating goals and (2) decreasing the opportunity in the event the Company does not meet its financial or other operating objectives.

We have incorporated into our executive compensation program mechanisms that would reduce compensation in the event that overly-risky strategies resulted in diminished financial performance. These features include: (1) the use of restricted stock with vesting periods up to five years in length, (2) a compensation recoupment (or "claw-back") policy in the event of financial restatements, (3) requirements in our long-term incentive plans that operating income and margin performance be sustained over a multi-year period and (4) use of caps on amounts available under our annual and long-term incentive programs.

•

No tax gross-ups.

•

No contractual arrangements that provide for immediate change of control benefits or golden parachutes.

•

Recapture of certain incentives in the event of a subsequent restatement of financial statements.

•

Limited use of perquisites.

Compensation Decision Making and Governance

              Role of the Compensation Committee.    The Committee, which consists entirely of independent Directors, recognizes the importance of developing and maintaining sound principles and practices to govern the Company's executive compensation program. Through a disciplined evaluation process, we seek to establish a strong link between (1) executive compensation and (2) achievement of net income, operating income, operating income margin and other strategic objectives designed to drive shareholder value. To carry out its responsibilities, the Committee:

•

Retains, and regularly consults, an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation design, structure and market competitiveness;

•

Reviews market compensation data in order to compare (1) our executive compensation to what other similarly situated companies pay and (2) how such companies use compensation to meet desired business outcomes and to attract and retain executive talent;

•

Takes into consideration the amounts that each of our Named Executive Officers would receive or forfeit under different termination scenarios; and

•

Takes into consideration other relevant matters, including internal fairness, consistency, tax deductibility and accounting requirements.

              Role of our Chief Executive Officer.    Our Chief Executive Officer, Colin Dyer, makes annual recommendations to the Committee for the compensation of the Named Executive Officers other than himself. To do this, Mr. Dyer:

•

Reviews base salaries, annual incentives, long-term incentives, equity awards and total direct compensation;

•

Evaluates in his judgment the performance of each of the other Named Executive Officers based on the goals and compensation plans established at the beginning of the year;

•

Comments on the quality of the interaction and contributions of the other Named Executive Officers as members of the GEC since that is the most senior executive committee within the Company; and

•

Compares the performance for each of the other Named Executive Officers on a relative basis, taking into account the different market, geographical and cultural dynamics and challenges of each of their respective business segments.

              The Committee reviews these evaluations and recommendations, discusses them with Mr. Dyer and ultimately approves or amends Mr. Dyer's recommendations in its discretion.

              The Committee also receives a self-assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's own performance during the previous year relative to his performance objectives. Mr. Dyer assesses the extent to which circumstances arose during the year, including for example changes in the marketplace or the competitive landscape, that required him to alter his focus or activities during the year. The Committee next meets in one or more private executive sessions without Mr. Dyer being present in order to develop its own conclusions about Mr. Dyer's performance. In its discretion, the Committee

41

Table of Contents

then determines the Chief Executive Officer's annual incentive and long-term awards for the previous year, his base salary for the forthcoming year and the annual and long-term incentive opportunities for the next performance period.

              Internal Compensation Resources.    The Company's Global Human Resources staff helps prepare the information the Committee needs to carry out its oversight responsibilities. The Company uses internal compensation expertise and data available from professional compensation consulting firms to compile comparative market compensation data and present individual compensation modeling.

              Role of Independent Compensation Consultant.    In addition, the Committee has continued to retain Sibson Consulting as an independent outside compensation consultant to advise the Committee on matters related to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. The Committee determines the scope of Sibson's services. Sibson advises the Committee on matters related to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. Sibson does not advise management of the Company and receives no compensation from the Company other than in connection with its consulting work for the Committee. The Committee typically requests Sibson to:

•

Review and comment on the agenda and supporting materials in advance of Committee meetings;

•

Review and comment on major compensation matters that management proposes, including with respect to comparative data and plan design recommendations;

•

Review the compensation matters disclosed in the Company's proxy statements;

•

Advise the Committee on best practices for Board governance over executive compensation, current executive compensation trends and regulatory updates; and

•

Undertake special projects or provide such other advice as the Chair of the Committee may request.

              Competitive Assessment: Comparing Our Executive Compensation Program to Other Companies.    We develop the total compensation opportunities for each Named Executive Officer relative to our own historical corporate performance and future objectives. We do not believe it is appropriate to establish compensation opportunities based primarily on benchmarking relative to compensation at other companies. Therefore, we do not rigidly set our compensation levels based on specified percentiles of benchmark data.

              However, we also recognize that our compensation practices must be competitive within the broader markets where we compete. As we strive to maintain our leadership position within the global real estate services and investment management industries, it is critical that we attract, retain and motivate the executives who will be best able to deliver on the commitments we make to our clients and shareholders.

              Each year the Committee compares our compensation program to those of other companies, which we call our "Market References," that:

•

We consider our direct competitors;

42

---

Table of Contents

•

Operate within the broader commercial real estate business, including real estate investment trusts; or

•

Operate within the business services and financial services sectors.

              Given the diverse nature of our Company's businesses, which combine real estate expertise and business services in a relatively unusual way, we create two Market References to reflect these two different business aspects: (1) real estate-oriented firms and (2) business services firms. We also target firms that are similar in size by revenue, with a median target of $3 billion and a range of one half to no more than three times our own revenue. We do not use market capitalization as a primary selection factor since our Company's business model is not asset intensive like that of a real estate investment trust (REIT), but we nevertheless think that REITs provide useful compensation comparisons since we regularly compete with them for similar kinds of talent.

              Management annually reviews the composition of the Market References. The Committee independently considers and approves the Market Reference lists to which we refer for compensation comparison purposes. Each year, management recommends to the Committee changes that will keep the Market Reference as meaningful as possible to our own Company in terms of:

•

The types of services we provide;

•

The clients we seek;

•

The need to reflect changes in the Market Reference companies themselves (for example, as the result of mergers or acquisitions); and

•

The scope and nature of the positions we are comparing.

              We indicate below the Market Reference companies we selected for 2011. They consisted of (1) a group of real estate companies, including certain of our direct competitors that we added regardless of size, and (2) a group of business services providers:

43

---

Table of Contents

              We show below the median revenue and market capitalization data for the two separate Market Reference groups set forth above, and compare them to our Company's own metrics. We used 2010 results since those were associated with the compensation reported in the 2011 proxy statements from other companies that we used. The table below reflects that the Real Estate Group has significantly greater market capitalization, but lower revenue, than the Business Services Group.

Median Data for Market Reference Companies ($ in millions)

              We have determined that the currently available comparative data is not sufficiently reliable with respect to those of our Named Executive Officers who lead our four business segments. This is because their positions do not correlate well enough to the positions that the Market Reference companies report in their proxy statements. Accordingly, we have decided that a reasonable approach for us is first to compare data for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating and Financial Officer, which we do believe correlates well with the Market Reference companies. We then align the remaining Named Executive Officer positions from an internal equity perspective, taking into account relative size, profit contribution and comparative performance of their respective business segments. When we refer elsewhere in this discussion to the Market Reference comparisons that we perform, we are referring to this methodology.

              Overall, we concluded from the compensation comparisons that the current base salaries for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating and Financial Officer continue to be below the 50^th percentile of the Market Reference companies. However, the Company's target annual incentive and long-term incentive opportunities in the aggregate permit the Committee to reward executives at a level between the 50^th and the 75^th percentiles of the comparison groups.

              In order to reward and retain our executives, we provide a mix of cash and potential long-term compensation that is broadly consistent with market practices. As we have concluded in previous years, we continue to believe that the components we use to reward and retain executive talent (base salaries combined with annual incentives and long-term incentives that include significant equity elements) work well to differentiate performance through the different market environments we experience across the world.

              When We Make Compensation Decisions.    Through a disciplined and ongoing governance process, the Committee conducts its activities on a regular timeline each year. We show below several of the key milestone events that occur during each quarter as a guide to understanding the Committee's annual calendar.

What We Pay and Why: The Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

              Consistent with our performance orientation, we have designed an executive compensation program with three major elements:

•

A cash base salary;

•

A performance-based annual incentive that we commonly refer to within the Company as an "annual bonus;" and

•

Long-term incentives linked to growth hurdles, typically delivered through (1) restricted stock unit grants that vest over multi-year periods and (2) cash, the payment of which is deferred for stated periods of time without interest. We use the GEC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the GEC LTIP) to provide the long-term incentives to the members of the GEC other than the Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle, who participates instead in the LIM Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LIM LTIP).

45

Table of Contents

We describe in the table below the broad objectives for each of the above elements:

What We Pay and Why: Rewards for Achievement of Financial Results and Strategic Objectives

              We have designed our executive compensation programs to reward the achievement of targeted financial results and individual performance on key strategic objectives. Our performance goals are based on GAAP financial results, but on a case-by-case basis the Committee in its discretion may exclude restructuring charges and other non-recurring expenses such as non-cash charges associated with acquisitions.

46

---

Table of Contents

              The following table (1) lists and defines each performance goal we used to determine certain elements of compensation for 2011, (2) explains why we selected it and (3) indicates whether we use the goal as part of the annual or the long-term incentive.

How We Determine the Amount of Each Compensation Element

              In the first quarter of each year, we review and determine all of the elements that comprise our total compensation arrangements for the Named Executive Officers. We do this both with respect to the previous year's performance (in terms of making decisions on any actual annual incentive payments to be made) and for the forthcoming year (in terms of the overall structure and elements that will govern how we determine the amount of compensation for future performance). We take this integrated approach so that we can calibrate the total reward potential for the Named Executive Officers relative to performance against their business plans.

              Annual Base Salary.    Currently the base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are at or below the 50^th percentile relative to our Market Reference companies. We review base salaries on an annual basis, as well as at the time of a promotion or other change in responsibilities. We recommend

47

---

Table of Contents

adjustments to base salaries, if any, following an evaluation of the individual's specific performance during the previous performance period and the relative level of his or her compensation compared to other Named Executive Officers and to our Market Reference companies.

              Annual Incentives.    We generally intend the compensation we pay to our Named Executive Officers to qualify as performance-based compensation that is fully deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, at the beginning of each year and taking into account the Company's plans for that year, the Committee establishes a maximum total amount of the annual incentives that will be available for payment to the Named Executive Officers for different levels of financial and non-financial performance.

              The table below summarizes the threshold and target performance levels, and associated incentive funding, that we established at the beginning of 2011 for annual incentives in the aggregate for our Named Executive Officers:

              The incentive amounts we set at the beginning of the year serve as one of the governors that the Committee establishes with respect to how it then determines the compensation amounts it ultimately approves after the end of the year. For tax deductibility purposes, the Committee retains the discretion in its judgment to reduce, but not increase, a Named Executive Officer's annual incentive compensation from the maximum incentive amounts that would otherwise have been payable.

              We establish other individual key strategic performance objectives for each of our Named Executive Officers as part of the same Individual Performance Management Program (IPMP) that we use to determine the compensation for substantially all of our professional and corporate support employees on an annual basis. We design these objectives principally to drive achievement of the Company's five global strategic priorities (the G5):

•

G1: Build our leading local and regional market positions;

•

G2: Grow our leading positions in the Corporate Solutions business;

•

G3: Capture the leading share of global capital flows for investment sales;

•

G4: Strengthen LaSalle Investment Management's leadership position; and

•

G5: Differentiate our business by connecting across the firm and with clients.

              The aggregate maximum annual incentive award that we may pay to any Named Executive Officer, from both the application of the financial formula and from the achievement of the key strategic performance goals described above, cannot exceed $5 million in any one year.

              After the end of the year, the Committee considers actual results achieved, IPMP assessments as well as significant unforeseen obstacles or favorable circumstances that influenced the ability to meet desired results. The overall assessment of each Named Executive Officer serves as the basis of

48

Table of Contents

the Committee's decision to award an annual incentive. We report performance-based annual incentives awarded in cash in the Summary Compensation Table under the column entitled "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation." We include performance-based equity awards in the "Stock Awards" column.

              To further promote longer term performance orientation, we require at least 15% of each named executive's annual incentive be paid in restricted stock units. When awarded, half of the restricted stock units vest on or about the 18 month anniversary of the award and half vest on or about the 30 month anniversary. We determine the number of restricted stock units we award under this provision based on the NYSE closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the day the Committee approves the annual incentives.

              In addition to the above requirement, unless a Named Executive Officer meets stock ownership guidelines and voluntarily elects to opt out, another 20% of the annual incentive, to a maximum of $150,000, is awarded as restricted stock units under the terms of the Company's Stock Ownership Plan, in which case half of the restricted stock units vest on or about the July 1 of the year following the award and half vest on or about the July 1 of the second year following the award.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs:

The GEC LTIP

The GEC LTIP establishes a total annual compensation pool of $5 million for performance at target levels for four different performance measures. Actual funding of the pool may be higher or lower than the target amount depending on actual performance. Whether cash or stock is paid for achievement of a particular performance measure depends on the measure. Although the categories for the performance measures will stay the same over the five-year life of the GEC LTIP, the Committee annually reviews the goals that were established when the current GEC LTIP was adopted in 2010.

The following table indicates how all of the elements of the GEC LTIP interact:

The Committee determines annually the share in the pool for each member of the GEC other than the Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle, who participates in an alternative long-term incentive plan we discuss below. For 2011, (1) 30% was allocated to our Chief Executive Officer, (2) 20% to our Chief Operating and Financial Officer and (3) 15% to each other GEC member. A GEC member's percentage may not be increased due to a reduction in the

49

---

Table of Contents

percentage determined for another member. The Committee may allocate the remaining portion of the pool for individuals outside the GEC based on recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer.

The table below outlines the threshold and target performance levels, and associated incentive funding, we established at the beginning of 2011 for the GEC LTIP:

The LIM LTIP

Since he is the Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle, Jeff A. Jacobson, who is one of our Named Executive Officers, participates in the LIM LTIP. As a result, he does not participate in the GEC LTIP.

Under the LIM LTIP, we determine a fixed incentive amount to be paid to a group of senior LaSalle officers at the end of each year if performance exceeds the annual cash flow, margin and compound growth rate targets we established for the five-year performance period of 2008 through 2012. The LIM LTIP requires the Committee to determine how much of each annual incentive will be delivered in cash and how much in unvested restricted stock units. The award in respect of performance for each year is paid in one-quarter tranches over four years.

The payout earned and paid in a given year under the LIM LTIP depends on whether LIM clears certain margin and growth rate hurdles for the immediately preceding calendar year. We use two different hurdles: (1) Modified Cash Flow and (2) Modified Base Cash Flow. We define Modified Cash Flow as LaSalle's operating income minus its equity earnings. We define Modified Base Cash Flow as Modified Cash Flow minus incentive fees. The Modified Cash Flow hurdle began with $50 million for 2008 and increases by 15% for each subsequent year. The Modified Base Cash Flow hurdle is $50 million for each year of the program.

Additionally, as a condition for awards to be made for a given year, the actual margin for the investment management business must exceed 15% and the segment's total compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of revenue must not exceed 60%.

We then make the payout, from a pool of sharing rates of the cash flows that have exceeded the hurdle amounts, to those LIM executives who were previously granted a fixed number of participant points (out of a total of 100) against the pool.

How We Made Our Specific 2011 Compensation Decisions

Summary Comment on Company Performance and Executive Compensation for 2011

              The Company's full-year 2011 revenue reached a record $3.6 billion, a 23% increase over 2010. The Company achieved these results notwithstanding that real estate and financial markets were challenged by various constraining factors, including the on-going political and economic crisis within the European Union, continuing high unemployment in the United States, unrest in the Middle East and major natural disasters in Japan and elsewhere. The Company completed an impactful merger with King Sturge, an international property consulting firm, during the year and is well along the way to a very successful integration. It also completed a number of smaller but strategically important acquisitions including at LaSalle, which also raised $5 billion of net new investment capital from its clients. The Company remained financially strong as it maintained its investment grade rating and reduced net bank debt during the fourth quarter alone by more than $180 million.

              The Company reported GAAP net income of $164 million for the year, compared to $154 million in 2010. Without giving effect to one-time restructuring charges primarily associated with the King Sturge acquisition, its adjusted net income of $214.5 million was 29% higher than its adjusted net income in 2010. Moreover, each of the three Real Estate Services operating segments as well as LaSalle contributed to the results by increasing both its revenue and its operating income over the prior year:

              Although the Company's stock price was down 26.6% from the beginning to the end of 2011, as the cumulative total shareholder return table in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K indicates, the total return to our shareholders (which takes into account reinvestment of dividends) over the five years ended December 31, 2011, nevertheless significantly outperformed that of the two other U.S. publicly traded companies whose business is most similar to ours, CBRE Group, Inc. and Grubb & Ellis Company (taken together).

              The Committee also noted that the Company had a number of other significant accomplishments during 2011 as it:

•

Expanded its global footprint with new offices in China, India and Sri Lanka; and acquired market leading businesses in South Africa, Indonesia, Seattle and Australia (LaSalle);

•

Continued to successfully grow its Middle Markets Corporate Solutions business and grew annuity revenue from corporate business in Europe, 50% of whose revenue is now corporate-sourced;

•

Doubled Capital Markets revenue in the US and grew the total global market share of the Hotels business by over two percentage points;

•

Delivered investment performance to clients of LaSalle that exceeded applicable benchmarks in a number of important products; and

•

Continued to grow its sustainability business globally, completing over 150 LEED projects in the US and more than 60 LEED projects internationally.

Table of Contents

              The Company continued to receive significant awards from third parties during 2011, reflecting the quality of its people and the services it provides to clients. Examples include Euromoney's Global Best Investment Manager and inclusion on Ethisphere's list of the World's Most Ethical Companies.

              Each of our three Real Estate Services operating segments experienced significant revenue and operating improvement over the prior year:

•

The Americas revenue grew to more than $1.5 billion, 21% over 2010, with a 10% increase in operating income, due primarily to increased transactional activities in Leasing, Capital Markets and Hotels;

•

Asia Pacific's annual revenue of $816 million was up 14% in local currencies over 2010, with a 34% increase in operating income, the result of continued expansion of our market-leading positions in Greater China and India, and growth in the Property and Facilities Management business; and

•

EMEA's revenue of $974 million increased by 29% from the prior year in local currencies, primarily the result of strong growth in Capital Markets and Hotels advisory revenues and the successful integration of the King Sturge business. Its operating income of $28 million improved by 42% over the prior year.

              Revenue at our LaSalle Investment Management segment grew to $275 million, an increase of 12% in local currencies compared to the previous year, driven by higher incentive fees resulting from investment performance for clients and improved equity earnings from co-investments.

              We believe that the annual incentive compensation of our respective Named Executive Officers appropriately reflects our consolidated results as well as the results of our respective business segments. We also concluded that the confident and well-coordinated leadership that our Named Executive Officers consistently and assertively displayed throughout the year was a significant factor in driving this performance. Although certain significant competitors have declared bankruptcy during the past year, our Company has maintained a strong balance sheet and its investment grade rating, which are increasingly important differentiators in the marketplace as clients entering into longer-term outsourcing arrangements want to be confident in the financial viability of their service providers.

              Moreover, our Named Executive Officers routinely and clearly promote the high level of professional standards and integrity, and the collaborative culture, for which the Company is known and which also provide an important differentiator as we compete for business. Accordingly, we believe the Company remains in a very solid overall position relative to our competitors in terms of (1) the strength of our balance sheet, (2) the quality of our people and services, (3) the depth and balance of our geographic reach, (4) our overall ability to serve the needs of our clients through leveraging the power of our global platform and (5) our corporate social responsibility.

              We also believe that during 2011 our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dyer, performed very well on the strategic objectives we established for him at the beginning of 2011. He is an excellent leader of our Global Executive Committee, with which the Board interacts on a regular basis and whose members in turn uniformly provide constructive and well-communicated leadership to the Company. In particular, during 2011 Mr. Dyer led a significant long-term strategic initiative that the Board believes has provided a clear and executable vision for the Company's continued growth and prosperity. The Board members and Mr. Dyer's colleagues similarly respect his professionalism, his ability to demonstrate both strategic vision as well as a clear road-map to execution, his strong support

52

Table of Contents

for maintaining a healthy culture that draws top talent to the Company and his vocal support for conducting business with the highest level of ethics. We believe he adds significant value to our shareholders as the Company confronts the challenges of sustainability and further growth within dynamic and inherently risky world markets.

              It is the Committee's considered view, therefore, that the total compensation levels of our Named Executive Officers for 2011 are reasonable and appropriate given the Company's achievements overall and by each of the individual business segments. We also believe that the manner in which we delivered the compensation to the executives for their 2011 performance continued to motivate them to perform at a very high level within dynamic and challenging markets, both for our clients and for the benefit of our shareholders.

Determination of 2011 Base Salaries

              Consistent with our philosophy of emphasizing performance-based compensation and in order to support our goal of maintaining an efficient cost structure and limiting our fixed costs we did not raise the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers in 2011, nor have we done so for a number of years.

Determination of 2011 Annual Incentives

              Based on his judgment the performance of each of the other Named Executive Officers against the net income and non-financial goals within the context of the compensation plans established at the beginning of the year, as well as the different market and geographical dynamics and success of each of their respective business segments during 2011, Mr. Dyer recommended to the Committee the annual incentive compensation of the other Named Executive Officers. These recommendations also took into consideration the amounts that each of our Named Executive Officers would receive or forfeit under different termination scenarios.

              In executive session, the Committee separately considered the performance of Mr. Dyer against the net income and other strategic objectives established at the beginning of the year, as well as the amounts that Mr. Dyer would receive or forfeit under different termination scenarios.

              The Committee then approved the following aggregate annual incentive payouts to our Named Executive Officers for 2011 relative to the plan funding limits that we established at the beginning of the year:

Determination of 2011 Long-Term Incentives: LIM LTIP

              Based on the point interests he had been allocated at the beginning of 2011, Mr. Jacobson received a total award for 2011 under the LIM LTIP of $162,500. We determined this amount based on a sharing of the amounts that LaSalle generated during 2011 of (1) Modified Cash Flow, (2) Modified Base Cash Flow and (3) forfeited awards from terminated participants. We also determined that LaSalle had met the payment threshold conditions for margin and ratio of compensation and benefits to revenue.

              With respect to the total long-term incentive amount most recently determined in 2012 in respect of LaSalle's 2011 performance, one quarter ($40,625) has been paid to Mr. Jacobson in cash in 2012 and one quarter will be paid in cash in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015, assuming that Mr. Jacobson has not then previously terminated his employment at the time of the payment.

Additional Compensation, Retention and Retirement Programs

              We have various additional equity and other incentive programs, some of which apply specifically to one or more of our Named Executive Officers and some of which are more broadly-available programs in which one or more of our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate. We have designed them to align the interests of our employees, and particularly our executives, with the interests of our shareholders and to serve as longer-term retention vehicles for our people. In many cases, we establish these types of programs because they are standard within the respective markets in which we operate, and we therefore believe they are a necessary component in the compensation programs for firms, such as ours, that want to be competitive as employers of choice.

              For ease of reference, the following chart lists all of the programs, together with a brief description. After that, we discuss each of the programs in more detail (and the brief descriptions are qualified by those broader discussions):

U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and U.K. Save As You Earn Stock Plan

              The U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the U.K. Save As You Earn (SAYE) Stock Plan provide eligible employees with a means for using their own personal funds to accumulate Jones Lang LaSalle Common Stock. Typically, we structure these plans according to the tax regimes of the countries in which we offer them.

•

The U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides employees in the United States with a means to purchase stock through regular payroll deductions. We purchase shares for the Plan at the end of each month in the open market at the then current price. We do not provide any discounts, but we do pay brokerage costs. None of our Named Executive Officers participated in the U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 2011.

•

The U.K. SAYE Stock Plan provides employees in the United Kingdom and Ireland with an option to purchase stock at a 15% discount through regular payroll deductions accumulated over an offering period. None of our Named Executive Officers participated in the U.K. SAYE Stock Plan during 2011.

Co-Investment Long-Term Incentive Plan

              Our Co-Investment Long-Term Incentive Plan was designed to provide the group of the then approximately 150 of our senior leaders around the world, known as our International Directors, with the opportunity to benefit on a notional basis from real estate co-investments made by the Company on their behalf through its LaSalle Investment Management business. Primarily to avoid certain negative accounting and tax effects from the future expansion of the Co-Investment Plan, we discontinued further grants beyond 2006. Grants that we previously made will continue to vest according to their terms and will continue to serve as a useful retention incentive. In 2007, as an alternative means of recognizing the achievements of our International Directors and as an additional long-term retention incentive aligned with increases in our stock price, we made a grant to each International Director, including each Named Executive Officer other than Mr. Jacobson, of $37,000 in restricted stock units (based upon the closing price of shares of our Common Stock on January 2, 2007) that vest in five years assuming continued employment at the time by each grantee. We have not make any additional grants to International Directors since 2007 and do not anticipate doing so in 2012.

              As originally structured, the Co-Investment Plan sought to:

•

Help the Company retain its most senior people;

•

Align the interests of participants with those of the Company's real estate investment clients; and

•

Increase their efforts to promote the Company's success in the interests of our shareholders.

              We originally established the Co-Investment Plan to make grants of investments for the benefit of our International Directors during a three-year period starting on January 1, 2002, with an initial notional allocation by the Company of $5 million among those employees who were International Directors on that date. We earmarked an additional $5 million to be invested in the Co-Investment Plan for the International Directors in place on each of January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2004 if the Company achieved a certain performance level during the respective previous years. The Company did not achieve the required level of performance during 2002, so we did not make a grant in 2003. The Company did achieve the required level of performance in 2003 and so we made a second investment in 2004. In October 2004, our Board extended the Co-Investment Plan for one additional notional investment allocation to be made in 2005 in the event the Company achieved a certain performance level during 2004. Since the Company did achieve the required level of performance during 2004, a third notional investment of $5 million was made in 2005. Based upon the Company's strong financial performance in 2005, our Board approved an additional notional investment of $5 million in 2006.

Table of Contents

              A participant vests in the portion of his or her notional investment account upon the earlier of:

•

Five years from the date as of which each allocated investment is made;

•

Retirement;

•

Death or permanent disability; or

•

A change in control of the Company.

Termination of employment for any reason other than those listed above results in a forfeiture of all of a participant's interests in the Co-Investment Plan. We determine the value of a participant's account based on the performance of particular real estate funds managed by LaSalle Investment Management. The Committee administers the Co-Investment Plan.

              While they have participated in the separate LIM Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program described below, certain of our LaSalle Investment Management International Directors, including Jeff A. Jacobson, one of our Named Executive Officers, have not also participated in the Co-Investment Plan. In 2005 and 2006, we did permit International Directors who were employees of LaSalle Investment Management and located in certain countries where permitted, including Mr. Jacobson, to make (and certain of them did make) investments from their own funds, either directly or, if otherwise eligible, through our United States Deferred Compensation Plan described below, the returns on which will be calculated as if they were grants made under the Co-Investment Plan.

              Other than as set forth above with respect to Mr. Jacobson, all of our other Named Executive Officers participated in the Co-Investment Plan through 2006.

International and Regional Director Personal Co-Investment Program

              In 2006, we introduced a new International and Regional Director Personal Co-Investment Program, in which all of our International and Regional Directors, including our Named Executive Officers, were eligible to participate on a voluntary basis. The Personal Co-Investment Program permitted eligible participants to invest personally in the performance of certain of the funds that LaSalle Investment Management has established for its clients. We intended the Program to serve as a retention device by:

•

Providing our people a means to participate in a personal investment opportunity that was unique to being employed at our Company; and

•

Further aligning the interests of our people with the success of our LaSalle Investment Management business and the performance it seeks to achieve on behalf of its clients.

              Of our Named Executive Officers, Colin Dyer, Jeff A. Jacobson and Peter C. Roberts have made personal investments in the Personal Co-Investment Program.

              Primarily to avoid certain negative accounting effects from the future expansion of the Personal Co-Investment Program (similar to those issues that arose with respect to the Co-Investment Plan), we have discontinued the ability to make further investments beyond 2006. Personal investments made in 2006 continue to remain outstanding, however.

59

Table of Contents

              Personal investments through the Program represent an interest whose return will reflect the performance of the co-investments that the Company itself has made in LaSalle Investment Management funds.

              During 2006, we permitted eligible participants to personally invest up to US$100,000 in the Personal Co-Investment Program. As they represent personal investment funds, all investments made by our Named Executive Officers vested immediately. Each Named Executive Officer will continue to own the investment even if he or she leaves the Company, regardless of the circumstances. A participant does not have any rights to sell investment units back to the Company in the event he or she leaves the Company, nor can the Company require a participant to sell them back.

              Participants may not re-sell investment units to anyone else, nor may they pledge them as collateral for a loan. Investment units may pass to their heirs upon their death, but otherwise the units are not liquid investments.

              As a legal matter, investment units represent a liability of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated that is owed to participants as unsecured creditors of the Company. We measure the investment return on the liability by the return that the Company receives on the LIM Funds, but participants are not themselves direct investors in the underlying LaSalle Investment Management funds. Therefore, in the event of the bankruptcy of the Company, participants could lose up to the entire value of the investment even if the underlying funds themselves remained solvent.

              During 2007, there was a return of principal of approximately $14,000 and interest of approximately $13,000 on each $100,000 initial investment. There was no return of principal during 2008. In February 2009, there was a return of principal of approximately $7,400 and interest of approximately $2,600 on each $100,000 initial investment. In December 2010, there was a return of principal of approximately $8,600 and interest of approximately $4,400 on each $100,000 initial investment. We did not make any distributions during 2011.

Spaulding & Slye Investment Program

              Our Spaulding & Slye Investments division, which operates within our Americas segment, creates and manages real estate investments in which certain Jones Lang LaSalle employees, and in some cases members of the Board of Directors, are given the opportunity to invest from time to time. The goal of the program is to provide further alignment between our people and the success of our business, as well as an additional retention incentive. In early 2012, the SSI Opportunity Fund 1 was launched to target the acquisition and/or development of industrial, office, apartment and retail assets. Selected members within our Americas management group were offered the opportunity to make personal investments in $50,000 increments to a maximum of $250,000, the latter of which would result in an approximate ownership of 2.25% of the total equity raised.

              Of our Named Executive Officers, Peter C. Roberts has made a personal investment in the SSI Opportunity Fund I offering.

Savings, Retention and Other Plans and Arrangements

              CEO Performance Incentive Compensation Agreement.    In April 2012, the Committee approved a new performance-based and retention incentive benefit (the Benefit) for Colin Dyer, our Chief

60

Table of Contents

Executive Officer. The Committee, working with its independent compensation consultant, has designed the Benefit to accomplish two main objectives:

(1)

to create an additional retention incentive for Mr. Dyer to remain with the Company and to continue to provide the leadership that the Board believes has created significant organizational and shareholder value, and driven strong performance, during his tenure; and



(2)

to create an additional incentive for Mr. Dyer to drive performance of the Company's financial and strategic goals as the Committee establishes them each year in connection with the development of our executive compensation program.

              Accordingly, the Company has agreed to pay the Benefit in the event that: (1) Mr. Dyer terminates his employment on any date after the date on which he has both (a) reached age 62 and (b)  attained ten years of service with the Company (the earliest date on which both conditions can be met is during September, 2014, which is the Eligibility Date); (2) Mr. Dyer is involuntarily terminated without cause at any time in the future; or (3) Mr. Dyer dies or is significantly disabled at any time in the future.

              The Benefit will be determined according to a formula, which operates as follows:

(1)

in the event of termination after the Eligibility Date, including as the result of Mr. Dyer's death or disability, the annual value of the Benefit will equal $250,000 plus 8.5% of Mr. Dyer's Final Average Annual Incentive; and



(2)

in the event of Mr. Dyer's involuntary termination without cause, death or disability before the Eligibility Date, the annual value of the Benefit will be pro-rated according to number of full months of service relative to ten years of service.

              Final Average Annual Incentive means the average of the two highest consecutive years' Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, which includes only cash payments attributable to the Company's Stock Award and Incentive Plan (or such similar or successor annual incentive bonus plan), in the five years preceding the year in which separation from service takes place, as reported in the corresponding column of the Summary Compensation Table of the Company's annual proxy statements. This excludes (i) any cash payments to Mr. Dyer under the GEC LTIP and (ii) any other special bonuses that the Company may pay or provide Mr. Dyer. However, in the event that the Company offered to pay an annual incentive bonus to Mr. Dyer, but Mr. Dyer voluntarily declined to accept all or part of such annual incentive bonus (as he did in 2008 in connection with the Company's actions in reaction to the global financial crisis taking place at the time), then for purposes of calculating the Final Average Annual Incentive, the full amount of the annual incentive bonus offered by the Company to Mr. Dyer shall be counted.

              The annual Benefit will be paid out in the form of annuity payments according to certain elections that Mr. Dyer will be permitted to make. Mr. Dyer will be an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company's financial obligation to pay the Benefit.

              There is no accumulated benefit under the Agreement since payments under the Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions noted above and will be based on future amounts of

61

Table of Contents

cash compensation to be reported in our proxy statements that we are unable to determine at this time.

              The form of the agreement under which the Company has agreed to provide the benefit has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form 8-K during April 2012.

              Retirement Arrangements for Alastair Hughes.    We originally executed an Employment Agreement with Alastair Hughes, one of our Named Executive Officers, in 1999. We did so when we were generally entering into standard employment agreements with our executives in the United Kingdom in order to be consistent with the labor market in that country. The agreement with Mr. Hughes provides for an annual contribution to an individual pension plan with a pension provider of Mr. Hughes' choice. The amount of the contribution is based on different percentages of salary (with a cap of £100,000) based on age. Before Mr. Hughes took individual responsibility for his pension arrangements in 1995, he was a member of the Company's U.K. Trust Pension Scheme, a defined benefit plan, from October 1993 to April 1995. As a result, there is a deferred pension due to Mr. Hughes when he reaches age 60 equal to £695 per year (as increased by a consumer price index capped at 5% per year maximum from April 1995 to the date of his 60^th birthday).

              United States Savings and Retirement Plan for U.S. Based Named Executive Officers.    Our United States Savings and Retirement Plan is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain limitations under the Code (currently $9,800 per year per participant), we make matching contributions to each eligible participant's account in an amount equal to 100% of each dollar contributed to the Plan, up to the first 3% of the participant's compensation. We match 50% of each dollar contributed to the Plan on the next 2% of compensation. Pre-tax, after-tax and catch-up contributions are taken into account in determining the amount of employer matching contributions. We will match contributions based on compensation up to $245,000 for 2012. A participant does not become eligible to receive the Company's matching payments unless he or she has completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the 12-month period beginning on the date of hire or during any Plan year that begins after the date of hire. Matching contributions begin on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date an employee meets the eligibility requirements. Participants are vested in all amounts in their Plan accounts.

              Those of our Named Executive Officers who are United States taxpayers, Colin Dyer, Jeff A. Jacobson, Lauralee E. Martin and Peter C. Roberts, are eligible to participate in the Savings and Retirement Plan and did participate during 2011. The matching contributions we made on their behalf are reported in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Severance Arrangements for Named Executive Officers

              We currently maintain a Severance Pay Plan for full time employees in the United States, including executive officers. To be eligible to receive benefits under the Severance Pay Plan, an employee must be involuntarily terminated from employment under specified circumstances and also must meet all of the conditions of the Severance Pay Plan.

              Severance benefits include:

•

Base severance, comprised of one-half month of base pay (not including the expected annual incentive) in effect at the time of the employment termination; and

62

---

Table of Contents

•

Enhanced severance, provided the employee executes a severance agreement and general release in favor of Jones Lang LaSalle.

              Enhanced severance is a multiple of base pay that varies with the circumstances of termination and is otherwise based on an employee's position level and length of service, reimbursement for certain health care insurance costs and outplacement for professional employees. The maximum benefit under the Plan would be fifteen months of base pay. For employees terminated after June 30 of any given year and before annual incentives are paid for the year in which they are terminated, enhanced severance also may include an annual incentive payment, calculated as a prorated share of the employee's target annual incentive for the year of termination, subject to Jones Lang LaSalle's then existing practice of determining discretionary annual incentive payments.

              Under a provision of the Severance Pay Plan that we have specifically established to cover members of our Global Executive Committee, each of the Named Executive Officers would be eligible (regardless of length of service) to receive a minimum of twelve months of base salary, plus an amount equal to the individual's expected annual incentive then in effect, as Enhanced Severance if his or her employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause. To the extent applicable, a Global Executive Committee participant who is also eligible to receive severance payments under any other plan, program or arrangement provided to employees in countries other than the United States (including an employment agreement) may elect whether to receive payments under the Severance Pay Plan or such other arrangement, but is not entitled to receive payments under both. In any event, the maximum benefit under the Severance Pay Plan remains at fifteen months if a participant has sufficient longevity with the Company to exceed the twelve month minimum.

              The severance benefits we make available to our Named Executive Officers are designed to assist in retaining them as we compete for talented employees in a marketplace for global talent where similar (if not often greater) protections are commonly offered. We intend for severance benefits to ease an employee's transition due to an unexpected employment termination by the Company. As our severance benefits would also be available in the case of a termination that followed a change in control, our severance arrangements also encourage employees to remain focused on the Company's business in the event of rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. We do not provide any tax gross-ups on severance payments under any circumstances.

United States Deferred Compensation Plan

              Effective for compensation paid on and after January 1, 2004, we established a Deferred Compensation Plan for our employees in the United States who are at our National Director level and above. The Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation program intended to comply with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The Plan permits eligible participants, including those of our Named Executive Officers who are subject to United States income tax, to voluntarily elect to defer up to 75% of their base salaries, up to 100% of their annual incentives and up to 100% of their vested restricted stock unit awards (including under the SOP). Members of our Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to their Director fees.

              As indicated in the Compensation Tables below, four of our Named Executive Officers, Colin Dyer, Jeff A. Jacobson, Lauralee E. Martin and Peter C. Roberts, have previously elected to defer certain amounts of their compensation under the Plan.

63

---

Table of Contents

              The amounts of any compensation deferred under the Plan remain an asset of the Company and constitute an unsecured obligation of the Company to pay the participants in the future. As such, they are subject to the claims of other creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Gains and losses on deferred amounts are credited based on the performance of a hypothetical investment in a variety of mutual fund investment choices the participants select. A participant's account may or may not appreciate depending upon the performance of the hypothetical investment selections the participants make. Participants must elect certain future distribution dates on which all or a portion of their accounts will be paid to them in cash, including in the case of a change in control of the Company. The Company does not make any contributions to the Plan beyond the amounts of compensation that participants themselves elect to contribute.

Change in Control Benefits

              Other than as the result of the severance benefits we describe above, which apply in the case of terminations regardless of whether they occur in connection with a change in control or not, we do not have any enhanced severance benefits for any of our Named Executive Officers that would specifically result from a change in control over the Company. We do not provide any tax gross-ups on severance payments under any circumstances.

              The Stock Award and Incentive Plan, under which all restricted stock units and stock options have been granted, provides that, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee as Plan Administrator in writing at or after the grant of an award, in the event of a change in control (as that is defined in the Stock Award and Incentive Plan), all outstanding awards under the Plan will, among other things, become fully vested on an accelerated basis. Additionally, outstanding but unvested grants under each of the GEC LTIP and the LIM LTIP would become fully vested on an accelerated basis in the event of a change in control.

Perquisites

              We do not provide personal perquisites (such as club memberships or non-business airline travel) of any significance to our Named Executive Officers as part of their compensation packages. In appropriate circumstances, we do provide reimbursement for certain expatriate expenses, all of which we disclose in the Summary Compensation Table.

Certain Tax Matters

              Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code limits the deduction a publicly held corporation is allowed for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and to the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. Generally, amounts paid in excess of $1 million to a covered executive, other than "performance-based" compensation, cannot be deducted. We have designed our annual incentive and equity awards programs to qualify as performance-based compensation, so the compensation we pay to our executive officers is generally fully deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we do currently intend to continue seeking a tax deduction for substantially all of our executive compensation. We will continue to monitor issues concerning the tax deductibility of executive compensation and will take appropriate action if we believe it is warranted. Since corporate objectives and strategic needs may not always be consistent with the requirements of full deductibility, we are prepared to use our discretion, if we believe it is appropriate, to enter into compensation arrangements or provide compensation under which payments may not be fully deductible.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards For 2011

              The following table sets forth information about grants of awards that we made to the Named Executive Officers in respect of 2011 under our Stock Award and Incentive Plan, including under the GEC LTIP and the LIM LTIP. We did not grant any new stock options to the Named Executive Officers in 2011 and do not anticipate doing so during 2012.

(1)

Cash Component of the GEC Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program

The amounts in this column for Mr. Dyer, Ms. Martin and Messrs. Hughes, Roberts and Ulbrich reflect the unvested cash awards we made under the GEC LTIP. The awards were made in 2012 and relate to 2011 performance. The cash will be paid to the Named Executive Officers after a 36 month vesting period and assuming that the intended recipient has not then previously voluntarily terminated his or her employment. The amount shown for each of "Threshold," "Target" and "Maximum" is the same because it has already been determined and does not accrue interest.

(2)

LIM Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program

The amount in this column for Mr. Jacobson reflects the cash award we made under the LIM LTIP in 2012 and that is subject to future vesting. The award relates to 2011 performance. Of the amount shown in the table, one quarter has been paid in cash in 2012 and one quarter will be paid in cash in each of 2013, 2014 and 2015 assuming that Mr. Jacobson has not then previously terminated his employment at the time of the payment. The amount shown for each of "Threshold," "Target" and "Maximum" is the same because it has already been determined and does not accrue interest.

Restricted Stock Units

The stock awards we report in this column represent the sum of restricted stock units awarded under our Stock Award and Incentive Plan (a) as a mandatory portion of the 2011 annual incentives, (b) as additional grants in connection with the determination of the 2010 annual incentives and (c) in connection with the 2011 GEC LTIP.

Additional information about each of these different types of equity awards is presented below.

(a)    Restricted Stock Units Paid as Mandatory Part of the Annual Incentive.    The Named Executive Officers were required to receive a minimum of 15% of their total annual incentives in the form of restricted stock units. The value of the restricted stock units, which is reflected in the table below, is based on the closing price per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE of $63.44 on the first day of trading this year, January 3, 2012, the effective date of the award.

Half of the restricted stock units vest July 3, 2013 and half vest July 3, 2014. 50% of the net shares must be retained for an additional twelve months after they vest and before they may be sold.

(b)    Additional Restricted Stock Unit Grants.

(i)    During 2011, the Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Jacobson, were required to receive an amount greater than the minimum 15% of their annual incentive in the form of restricted stock units. The initial values of the restricted stock units are provided in the table below and are reflected within the stock award values shown in the Summary Compensation Table. The number of shares we show in the table was based on a closing price per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE of $97.50 on the grant date, February 25, 2011.

Table of Contents

Half of the restricted stock units vest February 25, 2014 and half vest February 25, 2016. Under the "Rule of 65" in the case of retirement (when the sum of (1) years of service plus (2) age equals at least 65), these awards are not subject to forfeiture. 50% of the net shares must be retained for an additional twelve months after they vest and before they may be sold or transferred.

(ii)    In February 2012, in connection with the determination of the 2011 annual incentives, certain Named Executive Officers were required to receive an amount greater than the minimum 15% of their annual incentives in the form of restricted stock units. Consistent with our disclosures in previous Proxy Statements, in order to avoid double-counting with grants we made during 2011 and that are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement, we have not included the new 2012 grants in the above table. We will instead report them in the Proxy Statement for our 2013 Annual Meeting. In 2012, we awarded the following number of shares to the respective Named Executive Officers, in each case based on a closing price per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE of $82.45 on the grant date, February 23, 2012:

Half of the restricted stock units vest February 23, 2015 and half vest February 23, 2017. Under the "Rule of 65" in the case of retirement, these awards are not subject to forfeiture. 50% of the net shares must be retained for an additional twelve months after they vest and before they may be sold or transferred.

(c)    Restricted Stock Units Paid under the GEC LTIP.    The Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Jacobson, received a portion of their 2011 annual GEC LTIP award (paid in 2012) in the form of restricted stock units (rounded up to the nearest whole share). The value of the restricted stock units, shown in the table below, is based on a closing price per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE of $82.45 on the grant date, February 23, 2012.

All of these restricted stock units vest on February 23, 2015. 50% of the net shares must be retained for an additional twelve months after they vest and before they may be sold or transferred.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

              The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number and value of unvested restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2011, when the price per share of our Common Stock at the close of trading on the NYSE on December 30, 2011 was $61.26. The stock awards reported in this table were all made under our Stock Award and Incentive Plan and represent (i) grants of mandatory and additional restricted stock units paid as part of our annual incentives, (ii) restricted stock units paid in lieu of a portion of the annual cash incentive under the SOP and (iii) restricted stock units paid under the GEC LTIP and the LIM LTIP. None of our Named Executive Officers has any outstanding stock options.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested During 2011

              The following table sets forth information about grants of restricted stock units we made prior to 2012 and that vested in 2011. None of the Named Executive Officers exercised any options during 2011 and none of them has any options still outstanding.

Awards Outstanding under the Co-Investment Long-Term Incentive Plan

              Prior to 2007, we awarded units to the Named Executive Officers under our Co-Investment Long-Term Incentive Plan. The units we awarded under this Plan vest five years after grant. We provide additional information about this Plan in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

              The following table sets forth information concerning all of the units we have granted since 2002 to the Named Executive Officers under the Co-Investment Long-Term Incentive Plan and that are still outstanding. We did not make any additional grants under this Plan in 2007 or in any subsequent years.

Pension Benefits

              We do not have a defined benefit retirement plan for any of our Named Executive Officers, except under the limited circumstances we describe below in the case of Mr. Hughes. All of the Company's contributions we describe below are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table under "All Other Compensation."

              Colin Dyer, Lauralee E. Martin, Peter C. Roberts and Jeff A. Jacobson.    As employees within the United States, each of Mr. Dyer, Ms. Martin, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Jacobson is eligible to participate in the United States Savings and Retirement Plan, a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, on the same terms and conditions that apply to our U.S. employees generally. We provide additional information about the operation of our United States Savings and Retirement Plan in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The maximum annual matching contribution by the Company for each person who participates in the 401(k) Plan is currently $9,800.

              Alastair Hughes.    Consistent with the other agreements with senior-level employees in the United Kingdom that we put in place at the time of our 1999 merger, an Employment Agreement with Mr. Hughes provides for us to make an annual contribution to an individual pension plan with a pension provider of Mr. Hughes's choice. The amount of the contribution is based on different percentages of salary (with a cap of £100,000) based on age. In 2011, the amount of our contribution was $18,462 (converted from Pounds Sterling at the December 30, 2011 exchange rate). Before Mr. Hughes took individual responsibility for his pension arrangements in 1995, he was a member of the Company's U.K. Trust Pension Scheme, a defined benefit plan, from October 1993 to April 1995. As a result, there is a deferred pension due to Mr. Hughes when he reaches age 60 equal to £695 per year (as increased by a consumer price index capped at a 5% per year maximum from April 1995 to the date of his 60^th birthday).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

              The following table sets forth certain information concerning the voluntary participation by certain of our Named Executive Officers in our U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan, which is a Plan to which employees who are taxpayers in the United States may provide contributions, but to which the Company itself does not make any contributions. We provide additional information about this Plan in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Amounts shown below are as of December 31, 2011. Since they are not U.S. taxpayers, neither of Messrs. Hughes nor Ulbrich is eligible to participate in this Plan.

Termination and Change in Control Payments

              The following tables provide a summary of the approximate amounts that we would be obligated to pay to each of our Named Executive Officers, following or in connection with a termination that results from:

•

Voluntary termination by the Named Executive Officer;

•

Involuntary termination of the Named Executive Officer;

•

Retirement under the "Rule of 65," meaning retirement at an age when the sum of (1) years of service plus (2) age equals at least 65, with a minimum age of 55; or

•

A change in control of the Company.

              The tables consolidate the payments that we would make to each indicated Named Executive Officer under the various severance and employment arrangements and other plans (as currently in effect) that would apply to such Named Executive Officer. We more particularly describe them in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which should be read in conjunction with a review of the tables below. As part of its expense management activities, our business in the United States has

Table of Contents

stopped accruing or making payments for unused vacations upon employment termination. The amounts we show in the tables assume that termination was effective as of December 31, 2011. They are therefore only estimates of the amounts that we would pay out at the time of a separation from the Company. The amounts we would actually pay out will be affected by various factors and can therefore only be finally determined at the time of an executive's separation from the Company. These factors include, as examples:

•

Future grants under our equity incentive programs;

•

Amounts of voluntary deferrals of future compensation; and

•

The particular time during the year when a separation occurs, which can affect pro-rated incentive amounts, vacation pay and other payments.

CEO Performance Incentive Compensation Agreement

              As disclosed in more detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this Proxy Statement in the subsection entitled "Savings, Retention and Other Plans and Arrangements," in April 2012 the Compensation Committee approved a new performance and retention incentive agreement for Mr. Dyer that would provide a benefit in addition to the amounts in the above table. There is no accumulated benefit under this agreement since payments are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and will be based on future amounts of cash compensation to be reported in our proxy statements that we are unable to determine at this time. Please see the discussion referred to above for the formula under which the benefit will be determined.

COMMON STOCK SECURITY OWNERSHIP
OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

              The following table provides information about the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, which constitutes the only outstanding voting security of Jones Lang LaSalle as of March 19, 2012, by:

•

Each Director and Director nominee of Jones Lang LaSalle;

•

Each of the Named Executive Officers;

•

The Directors, Director nominees and executive officers of Jones Lang LaSalle as a group; and

•

Each unaffiliated person who is known to Jones Lang LaSalle to have been the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the number of voting shares of our Common Stock.

              On March 19, 2012, there were 43,624,291 voting shares of Common Stock outstanding.

              The table includes shares which the indicated individual had the right to acquire through stock options granted under the Stock Award and Incentive Plan and which were exercisable on March 19, 2012 or which would become exercisable within 60 days of that date. It also includes shares the receipt of which certain of our Directors have deferred under a deferred compensation program described above under "Director Compensation." The table does not include unvested restricted stock units issued under the Stock Award and Incentive Plan, since none of such units carries voting or investment power. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, all of such interests are owned directly, and the indicated person or entity has sole voting and dispositive power.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

              Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors, certain of our officers and beneficial owners of more than 10 percent of our outstanding Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock with the SEC and to send copies of such reports to us. For our current executive officers and Directors, the Company has taken on the administrative responsibility of filing the reports after we have received the necessary information.

              Based solely upon a review of such reports and amendments thereto furnished to us and upon written representations of certain of such persons regarding their ownership of Common Stock, we believe that no person failed to file any such report on a timely basis during 2011.

              As our record-keeping with respect to the granting and vesting of restricted stock units may involve third-party administrators and internal processing requirements, we file related Form 4 reports promptly after the information has been completed and presented to the Corporate Secretary.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

              We discuss below the particular relationships the Company has with three of our Directors individually.

              Thomas C. Theobald.    Jones Lang LaSalle uses LaSalle Investment Limited Partnership, referred to as LaSalle Investment Company (LIC), as one of two investment vehicles that make substantially all of its co-investments with LaSalle Investment Management clients. LIC is a series of four parallel limited partnerships of which Jones Lang LaSalle has an effective 47.85% ownership interest through two of the limited partnerships. Primarily institutional investors hold the remaining 52.15% interest in LIC. As of December 31, 2011, Mr. Theobald, a Non-Executive Director, and entities affiliated with him, had invested Euro 922,878 (the equivalent of $1,192,774 at the December 31, 2011 exchange rate) in LIC and had committed to invest a total additional amount of Euro 174,146 (the equivalent of $225,075 at the December 31, 2011 exchange rate) through LIC.

              As Mr. Theobald's investment has been made on the same terms as are offered to the other investors in LIC, which are unaffiliated investors that are clients of the Company, and given that the amount of the investment is not material to LIC or to Mr. Theobald personally, nor does it permit Mr. Theobald to exercise any control over the activities of LIC, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Theobald's investment in LIC does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that detracts from his independence as a member of the Board of Directors.

              In addition to his investment in LIC, during 2012 Mr. Theobald committed to make a maximum aggregate investment of $250,000 in SSI Opportunity Fund 1, an offering sponsored by our Spaulding & Slye Investments division. Spaulding & Slye Investments creates and manages real estate investments in which certain Jones Lang LaSalle employees, and in some cases members of the Board of Directors, are given the opportunity to invest. SSI Opportunity Fund 1 is targeting the acquisition and/or development of industrial, office, apartment and retail assets. Mr. Theobald's investment, which constitutes approximately 2.25% of the total investments, was made on the same terms as were offered to all other investors. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Theobald's investment in SSI Opportunity Fund 1 does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that detracts from his independence as a member of the Board of Directors.

              Roger T. Staubach.    Mr. Staubach was elected to serve as a member of the Board, effective July 21, 2008. Mr. Staubach became the Executive Chairman of the Company's Americas region on July 11, 2008, when Jones Lang LaSalle merged (the Merger) with The Staubach Company, of which Mr. Staubach was an indirect shareholder.

              Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the transaction (the Merger Agreement), Jones Lang LaSalle agreed that it would cause Mr. Staubach to be appointed to the Board. Thereafter, unless Mr. Staubach's employment with Jones Lang LaSalle or one of its subsidiaries is terminated by Jones Lang LaSalle without cause, by Mr. Staubach for good reason or due to Mr. Staubach's disability (as the terms "cause," "good reason" and "disability" are defined under Mr. Staubach's employment arrangements with Jones Lang LaSalle), and as long as Mr. Staubach complies with Jones Lang LaSalle's policies and guidelines applicable to all members of the Board, Jones Lang LaSalle has agreed that it shall cause Mr. Staubach to be included in the slate of persons nominated to serve as directors on the Board during any Earnout Calculation Period (as defined pursuant to the Merger Agreement). Upon any termination of Mr. Staubach's employment by Jones

85

---

Table of Contents

Lang LaSalle with cause, by Mr. Staubach without good reason or due to disability, Mr. Staubach shall promptly resign from the Board.

              As Mr. Staubach is employed by Jones Lang LaSalle, he serves on the Board as a member of management and therefore does not qualify as an independent member of the Board or to serve on any of its Committees. Accordingly, Mr. Staubach is not paid any Director's fees or other compensation for serving on the Board. We do not consider Mr. Staubach an "officer" as defined for reporting purposes under Section 16 of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The conditions of Mr. Staubach's employment by the Company have been established under an employment agreement the term of which extends to July 11, 2013.

              As consideration under the Merger Agreement, Mr. Staubach individually elected to receive 182,016 shares of the Common Stock of Jones Lang LaSalle on August 15, 2008 (valued at $50.05 per share), representing substantially all of the initial consideration that Mr. Staubach received in connection with the Merger. Each of two different trusts for Mr. Staubach's children, for which he disclaims beneficial ownership, received 83,097 shares of our Common Stock at the same price per share.

              The Merger Agreement also provided for the selling shareholders of The Staubach Company to receive three deferred purchase price payments in cash, the first of which was due on the first business day of the 25th month following the July 11, 2008 closing date (or the 37th month if certain revenue targets are not met), the second of which was due on the first business day of the 37th month following the closing date (or the 49th month if certain revenue targets are not met) and the third of which is due on the first business day of the 61st month following the closing date. The selling shareholders are also entitled to receive an "Earnout Payment," payable after 2010 on a sliding scale if certain thresholds are met with respect to the tenant representation business for the Earnout periods ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The above summary is qualified by reference to the Merger Agreement, which we have filed with the SEC as an Exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated July 11, 2008.

              Mr. Staubach individually holds a 5.767% interest in each of the above payments. Five different trusts for Mr. Staubach's children collectively own a 5.972% interest. In 2010, Mr. Staubach received the first of the deferred purchase price payments in the amount of $4.7 million, and a total of $4.9 million was paid to the children's trusts. In 2011, Mr. Staubach received the second of the deferred purchase price payments in the amount of $9.3 million, and a total of $9.6 million was paid to the children's trusts. We did not make any Earnout Payments during 2011. Mr. Staubach is due to receive approximately $9.9 million from the third deferred purchase price payment described above, and up to approximately $7.2 million from the Earnout Payment. In total, the children's trusts are due to receive approximately $10.25 million from the third deferred purchase price payment described above, and up to approximately $7.46 million from the Earnout Payment. Mr. Staubach disclaims beneficial ownership in the children's trusts.

              Sheila A. Penrose.    Ms. Penrose is the Co-Chairman and participating instructor of the Corporate Leadership Center (the CLC), for which she receives an annual retainer in a fixed amount determined by the Board of Directors of that organization. The CLC is a not-for-profit business and academic forum that provides development courses for corporate leaders through two principal programs, CEO Perspectives and Leading Women Executives.

86

Table of Contents

              Jones Lang LaSalle has paid for the cost of certain of our executives to attend CLC programs in the past and anticipates we will do so in the future. In 2011, we paid a total of $110,000 for four participants to attend CLC programs. The participation of Jones Lang LaSalle executives is on the same terms and conditions available to participants from other companies, and Ms. Penrose's compensation from the CLC does not change as the result of, or depend upon or relate to, the participation of the Jones Lang LaSalle executives. The amounts involved are immaterial to each of the Company, the CLC and Ms. Penrose individually. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Penrose's participation in the CLC does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that detracts from her independence as a member of the Board of Directors.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

              For a number of years, KPMG LLP has been the independent registered public accounting firm that audits the financial statements of Jones Lang LaSalle and most of its subsidiaries. Jones Lang LaSalle expects that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Such representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting if they desire to do so.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

              The following table presents fees for the professional services that KPMG LLP rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements (including auditing the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for purposes of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), audit related fees, tax fees and fees billed for other services during 2011 and 2010 (the fees shown are in thousands (000's)).

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

              The Audit Committee has established a policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. At each of its meetings, the full Audit Committee considers, and approves or rejects, any proposed services and fee estimates that are presented by the Company's management. The Chairman of the Audit Committee has been designated by the Audit Committee to consider approval of services arising between meetings that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Services approved by the Chairman are ratified by the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. For each proposed service, the independent registered public accounting firm provides supporting documentation detailing the service and an estimate of costs. During 2011, all services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

              As more particularly described above under "Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters," the Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of Jones Lang LaSalle's accounting functions and internal and disclosure controls. The Audit Committee is composed of five Directors, each of whom is independent as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards in effect at the time of mailing of this Proxy Statement and by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written Charter, which has been approved by the Board of Directors and is available on the Company's public website at www.joneslanglasalle.com.

              Management is responsible for Jones Lang LaSalle's internal and disclosure controls and financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of Jones Lang LaSalle's consolidated financial statements and the effective operation of internal controls over financial reporting, all in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to oversee these processes.

              In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the December 31, 2011 audited financial statements as well as the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for which an attestation by such firm is required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required by the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee also received written disclosures from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding such firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with KPMG LLP that firm's independence under the relevant standards. The Audit Committee also reviewed the selection, application and disclosure of our critical accounting policies pursuant to SEC Financial Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure of Critical Accounting Policies."

              Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee's review of the representations of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in Jones Lang LaSalle's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which has been filed with the SEC.

FOUR PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF ELEVEN DIRECTORS

              Our Nominating and Governance Committee has nominated all of the current members of the Board of Directors to stand for re-election at this year's Annual Meeting. We are proposing that our shareholders elect all of such nominees.

              Accordingly, our Board unanimously recommends you vote FOR the election of each of the eleven nominees listed below:

Hugo Bagué
Colin Dyer
Darryl Hartley-Leonard
DeAnne Julius
Ming Lu
Lauralee E. Martin
Martin H. Nesbitt
Sheila A. Penrose
David B. Rickard
Roger T. Staubach
Thomas C. Theobald

              We provide biographical information for each of the nominees above under the caption "Directors and Corporate Officers." If re-elected, these Directors will serve one-year terms until Jones Lang LaSalle's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2013 and until their successors are elected and qualify, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

              In the case of Thomas C. Theobald, who was 74 years old at the time of his nomination, the Nominating and Governance Committee has waived the normal retirement age provision as permitted under our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Mr. Theobald remains willing to serve on our Board and the Committee believes that he continues to be a fully-engaged and highly valued contributor to the work of the Board overall and as Chairman of our Compensation Committee.

              At the Annual Meeting, we will vote each valid proxy returned to Jones Lang LaSalle for the eleven nominees listed above unless the proxy specifies otherwise. Proxies may not be voted for more than eleven nominees for Director. While the Board does not anticipate that any of the nominees will be unable to stand for election as a Director at the 2012 Annual Meeting, if that is the case, proxies will be voted in favor of such other person or persons as our Board may designate.

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 2

NON-BINDING ADVISORY "SAY-ON-PAY" VOTE APPROVING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

              We are asking our shareholders to provide a non-binding "say-on-pay" advisory approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as we have described it above in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

              Our Board unanimously recommends you vote FOR the advisory "say-on-pay" vote approving executive compensation.

              Our Board believes that that we have an executive compensation program that has proven itself over the years to have retained top-quality executives who have been appropriately motivated to act in the best interests of our shareholders, clients, staff and the other constituencies who interact with a global organization such as ours. We believe we have a program that encompasses the attributes of best-practices in compensation, including:

•

Pay for performance philosophy, with significant upward and downward flexibility built to correspond to the financial results of an inherently cyclical business;

•

Balanced mix of short- and long-term focused compensation;

•

Significant use of equity to align with shareholder interests;

•

No tax gross-ups and limited use of perquisites;

•

Limited benefits in the event of a change of control, with double-trigger requirement for any severance benefit;

•

Limited severance benefits;

•

Recapture of certain incentives in the event of a subsequent restatement of financial statements; and

•

Features to mitigate the use of overly-risky strategies that do not serve the longer-term sustainability of the organization.

              Accordingly, our Board requests that our shareholders vote to approve our executive compensation program. While this vote is not binding on our Company, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee and our management regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. We will consider this information when determining executive compensation for 2012 and beyond.

PROPOSAL 3

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARD
PROVISIONS USED TO DETERMINE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION UNDER
THE JONES LANG LASALLE STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

              We are proposing that our shareholders approve the performance-based award provisions used to determine executive compensation under the Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated Amended and Restated Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the Plan). We have designed provisions of the Plan so that they conform to Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code), and so that payments to the Covered Employees (namely, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other Executive Officers whose income is required to be reported to shareholders as being among the three highest compensated Officers) will remain deductible by the Company. Section 162(m) requires the Company to seek approval of the performance criteria under the Plan in order to continue to fully deduct for U.S. federal income tax purposes performance-based compensation to our Covered Employees.

              We are not asking for an increase in the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan or to make any material changes or amendments to the Plan.

              Our Board unanimously recommends you vote FOR approval of the performance-based award provisions used to determine executive compensation under the Jones Lang LaSalle Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

              If our shareholders vote to approve the performance-based award provisions used to determine executive compensation under the Plan, awards intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) should be fully deductible by the Company. Under Section 162(m), the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to a Covered Employee may be limited if the compensation exceeds $1 million in any one year. However, the Company may be able to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million if it qualifies the awards as "performance-based compensation" as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code.

              If shareholders do not approve the performance-based award provisions, the current Plan will remain in place, and we will continue to be able to make awards under the Plan. However, in that case, no compensation resulting from future awards to Covered Employees under the Plan would qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, and therefore, all compensation resulting from future awards to "Covered Employees under the Plan would be subject to the annual $1 million limitation on deductibility imposed by Section 162(m).

              The Plan does not, by itself, authorize any payments or the issuance of any shares or any award, as we make actual awards under our individual long-term and short-term variable compensation plans. Our Board of Directors has approved the Plan.

              Jones Lang LaSalle originally adopted the Plan in 1997 in connection with the initial public offering of our Common Stock. The most recent material amendment of the Plan was effective on May 29, 2008, when our shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan to reserve an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. Whenever we update the Plan, we amend and restate the Plan to reflect any changes, even when none of the changes made to the Plan constitute material amendments to the Plan. Accordingly, in connection with the Board's determination to submit this proposal to our shareholders and the Board's related review and update

93

---

Table of Contents

of the Plan, we amended and restated the Plan effective as of April 15, 2012. That amendment and restatement does not reflect any material changes to the Plan for purposes for any shareholder approval requirements.

              There is a maximum of 15,110,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to award under the Plan, of which, as of March 31, 2012, 12,089,031 shares had been issued, 1,712,096 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding awards and 1,308,873 shares remained available for future awards. As of the close of business on March 30, 2012, Jones Lang LaSalle Common Stock was trading at $83.31 per share on the NYSE.

              The future awards that we will make to eligible participants under the Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) and, therefore, cannot be determined with certainty at this time.

              Section 7 of the Plan provides that the maximum award paid in cash or stock to a Covered Employee under any individual long-term or short-term variable compensation plan will be limited to the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) five times the Covered Employee's most recent annual performance award, as disclosed in the applicable proxy statement to shareholders. In addition, Section 7 designates performance measures, performance goals and the criteria on which awards shall be based in order to determine whether awards are earned. We have designed those criteria to comply with the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code regarding deductibility of awards earned by and paid to Covered Employees. We selected the criteria listed in Section 7 so that a third party, having knowledge of the relevant facts, could objectively determine whether the performance goals have been met. Please refer to the full text of Section 7 of the Plan in Appendix A for a detailed description of such criteria. They include various measures of financial performance by the Company and other objectively measurable goals relating to customer satisfaction, employee goals and other events.

              We provide a summary description of the Plan below. The full text of the Plan is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Summary Description of the Stock Award and Incentive Plan

Administration

              The Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan. In addition, the Committee may delegate any or all aspects of its responsibilities and powers under the Plan to any member of the Committee or to one or more agents of the Committee.

Participants

              Any person who is designated as an employee of Jones Lang LaSalle, including the Named Executive Officers and other Executive Officers, or of any subsidiary or affiliate, and any non-employee director or independent contractor of Jones Lang LaSalle is eligible for selection by the Committee for the grant of awards under the Plan. Options intending to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code may only be granted to employees of Jones Lang LaSalle or any of its subsidiaries. The future awards that we will make to eligible participants

94

Table of Contents

under the Plan are subject to the discretion of the Committee and, therefore, cannot be determined at this time.

Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards

              The maximum number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for grants of awards under the Plan is 15,110,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the plan and discussed under "Adjustments" below. Such shares may be either authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by Jones Lang LaSalle or any subsidiary. No more than 75,000 of the total shares available for grant may be awarded to a single individual in a single year. Shares subject to awards that have expired or been terminated, cancelled, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an award, and shares subject to awards settled in cash, are in most cases available for delivery in connection with future awards under the Plan.

              The Plan provides the Committee broad discretion to fashion the terms of the awards to provide eligible recipients with such stock-based and performance-based incentives as the Committee deems appropriate. The Plan permits the issuance of awards in a variety of forms, including (1) nonqualified and incentive stock options for the purchase of Common Stock, (2) stock appreciation rights and limited stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock and restricted stock units, (4) stock awards in lieu of obligations of the Company to pay cash under other plans or compensatory arrangements, (5) dividend equivalents, and (6) performance awards and (7) performance shares and/or other stock based awards or other cash-based awards.

Option Awards

              Options provide the recipient the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a predetermined exercise price. The Committee establishes the exercise price per share under each option, which may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted and, in all cases, may not be less than par value. The Committee establishes the term of each option, which in no case may exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan may either be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) or options which are not intended to qualify as ISO's, called nonqualified stock options (NQSOs). ISOs may only be granted to employees. An option granted under the Plan will not be considered an ISO to the extent that it, together with any other ISOs under the Plan and any other incentive stock option plans, are exercisable for the first time by any recipient during any calendar year with respect to shares having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000 as of the time the option with respect to such shares is granted.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) and Limited SARs

              A SAR provides the right to the monetary equivalent of the increase in value of a specified number of shares over a specified period of time after the right is granted. Such amount may be paid in cash, stock or property as specified in the applicable award or as determined by the Committee. A Limited SAR provides such amount automatically upon the occurrence of a change in control of Jones Lang LaSalle. SARs may be granted to recipients either in tandem with option awards granted under the Plan or not in conjunction with option awards. SARs are generally to be granted with a grant price determined by the Committee.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

              Restricted stock is an award or issuance of shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate. Restricted stock units are awards denominated in units of shares under which the issuance of shares is subject to conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate. Recipients holding shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan may exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares during the period of restriction. Recipients do not have voting rights with respect to shares underlying restricted stock units unless and until such shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on Jones Lang LaSalle's stock ledger. Recipients in whose name restricted stock is granted are entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares, unless determined otherwise by the Committee.

Stock Awards in Lieu of Cash Awards

              The Committee is authorized to grant Common Stock as a bonus, or to grant other awards in lieu of Company commitments to pay cash under other plans or compensatory arrangements. Common Stock or awards granted under the Plan shall have such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee.

Dividend Equivalents

              The Committee is authorized to grant dividend equivalents (i.e., a right to receive cash, Common Stock, or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Common Stock) under the Plan. The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that dividend equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Common Stock or other investment vehicles as the Committee may specify; provided that dividend equivalents (other than dividend equivalents which are not granted in connection with another award) shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions on the underlying awards to which they relate.

Performance Shares or Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards

              The Committee is authorized to grant performance shares and/or other stock-based awards or other cash-based awards as an element of or supplement to any other award under the Plan, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon performance of Jones Lang LaSalle or any other factors designated by the Committee, or valued by reference to the performance of specified subsidiaries or affiliates of Jones Lang LaSalle.

Qualifying Performance Criteria

              The Plan is designed to comply with the requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code by establishing a process for determining the amount of certain awards to Executive Officers under Jones Lang LaSalle's variable compensation plans. The process set forth in the Plan is used in connection with awards intended to be based on the performance of individuals, business unit(s) of the Company or the Company as a whole, over a calendar year or a longer performance period. The process uses specific, objective performance goals for the year or period that the Committee pre-establishes in detail under Section 7 of the Plan. A performance goal

may be expressed in any form as the Committee may determine including, but not limited to: (1) percentage growth; (2) absolute growth; (3) cumulative growth; (4) performance in relation to an index; (5) performance in relation to peer company performance; (6) a designated absolute amount; (7) percent of sales; (8) per share of common stock outstanding, and (9) completion of a specific task or objective. Awards for which the amount is determined by the procedures set forth in the Plan are issued under the applicable Company compensation plan or program.

              The Plan provides that the maximum award paid in cash or stock to under any individual long-term or short-term variable compensation plan will be limited to the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) five times the recipient's most recent annual bonus, as disclosed in the applicable proxy statement to shareholders. In addition, the Plan sets forth performance criteria on which awards shall be based in order to determine whether awards are earned. Such criteria include: (1) earnings before or after interest and taxes or before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (2) gross or net revenue, or changes in annual revenues; (3) cash flow(s) (including either operating or net cash flows); (4) financial return ratios; (5) total shareholder return, shareholder return based on growth measures or the attainment by the shares of a specified value for a specified period of time, share price or share price appreciation; (6) earnings growth or growth in earnings per share; (7) return measures, including return or net return on assets, net assets, equity, capital or gross sales; (8) adjusted pre-tax margin; (9) pre-tax profits; (10) operating margins; (11) operating profits; (12) operating expenses; (13) net income, net operating income, or adjusted net income; (14) growth in operating earnings or growth in earnings per share; (15) market share or market penetration with respect to specific designated services or business segments and/or specific geographic areas; (16) aggregate service pricing and other service offering measures; (17) expense or cost levels, in each case, where applicable, determined either on a Company-wide basis or in respect of any one or more specified divisions; (18) reduction of losses, loss ratios or expense ratios; (19) operating cost management; (20) debt reduction; (21) productivity improvements; (22) satisfaction of specified business expansion goals or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures; (23) customer satisfaction based on specified objective goals or a Company sponsored customer survey; (24) employee satisfaction based on specified objective goals or a Company sponsored customer survey; (25) employee diversity goals; (26) employee turnover; (27) specified objective social goals; or (28) other strategic events that could alter the normal course of business, the description of which would disclose material competitive information.

Amendment and Termination

              The Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan may be made which, without first obtaining shareholder approval as required by law or regulation or otherwise, would, except as provided in the Plan: (a) materially increase the maximum number of shares which may be sold or awarded under the Plan (except for permissible adjustments); or (b) reprice options issued under the Plan by lowering the exercise price of a previously granted award, by canceling outstanding options and issuing replacements, or by otherwise replacing existing options with substitute options with a lower exercise price.

              No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an award or award agreement may be made which would impair the rights of an award recipient, without such recipient's consent.

Change in Control Provisions

              In the event of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Plan): (1) any award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested;

97

---

Table of Contents

(2) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other awards granted under the Plan shall lapse and such awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved; and (3) the value of all outstanding awards shall be determined on the basis of the "Change in Control Price" (as defined in the Plan) as of the date of the Change in Control or such other date as the Committee may determine prior to the Change in Control.

Adjustments

              In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property), recapitalization, Common Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of award recipients under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (a) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with awards under the Plan, (b) the number and kind of shares of stock issued or issuable in respect of outstanding awards and (c) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any award; provided that, with respect to incentive stock options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.

Transferability

              Awards granted under the Plan are not transferable by the recipient except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, if then permitted under Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the recipient only by such recipient or his or her guardian or legal representative.

Federal Income Tax Treatment

              The following discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the Plan is intended to be a summary of applicable federal law as currently in effect. It should not be taken as tax advice by Plan participants, who are urged to consult their individual tax advisors.

Stock Options

              ISOs and NQSOs are treated differently for federal income tax purposes. ISOs are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. NQSOs do not comply with such requirements.

              An option holder is not taxed on the grant or exercise of an ISO. The difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date will, however, be a preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If an option holder holds the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO for at least two years following the option grant date and at least one year following exercise, the option holder's gain, if any, upon a subsequent disposition of such shares is a long term capital gain. The measure of the gain is the difference between the proceeds received on disposition and the option holder's basis in the shares (which generally equals the exercise price). If an option holder disposes of stock acquired pursuant to exercise of an ISO before satisfying

98

---

Table of Contents

these holding periods, the option holder will recognize both ordinary income and capital gain in the year of disposition. Jones Lang LaSalle is not entitled to an income tax deduction on the grant or exercise of an ISO or on the option holder's disposition of the shares after satisfying the holding period requirement described above. If the holding periods are not satisfied, Jones Lang LaSalle will be entitled to a deduction in the year the option holder disposes of the shares in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the option holder.

              In order for an option to qualify for ISO tax treatment, the grant of the option must satisfy various other conditions more fully described in the Code. Jones Lang LaSalle does not guarantee that any option will qualify for ISO tax treatment even if the option is intended to qualify for such treatment. In the event an option intended to be an ISO fails to so qualify, it will be taxed as an NQSO, as described in the paragraph below.

              An option holder is not taxed on the grant of an NQSO. On exercise, the option holder recognizes ordinary income equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise. Jones Lang LaSalle is entitled to an income tax deduction in the year of exercise in the amount recognized by the option holder as ordinary income. The option holder's gain (or loss) on subsequent disposition of the shares is long term capital gain (or loss) if the shares are held for at least one year following exercise. Jones Lang LaSalle does not receive a deduction for this gain.

Stock Appreciation Rights

              A SAR holder is not taxed on the grant of a stock appreciation right. On exercise, the SAR holder recognizes ordinary income equal to the cash or the fair market value of any shares received. Jones Lang LaSalle is entitled to an income tax deduction in the year of exercise in the amount recognized by the SAR holder as ordinary income.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

              Recipients of restricted stock or restricted stock units do not recognize income at the time of the grant. When the award vests or is paid, recipients generally recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock or units at such time, and Jones Lang LaSalle receives a corresponding deduction. However, no later than 30 days after a participant receives an award of restricted stock, the participant may elect to recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of receipt. Provided that the election is made in a timely manner, when the restrictions on the shares lapse, the participant will not recognize any additional income. If the participant forfeits the shares to Jones Lang LaSalle (e.g., upon the participant's termination prior to vesting), the participant may not claim a deduction with respect to the income recognized as a result of the election. Dividends paid with respect to unvested shares of restricted stock generally will be taxable as ordinary income to the participant at the time the dividends are received.

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

         Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (the "Company") has previously established a 1997 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Award and Incentive Plan"), and a Stock Compensation Program, as amended (the "Stock Compensation Program"). The Stock Award and Incentive Plan and the Stock Compensation Program are referred to herein collectively as the "Former Plans." Each of the Former Plans has been authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by the Company's shareholders.

         In order to facilitate the efficient administration of the Former Plans and the awards granted thereunder, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the amendment and restatement of each of the Former Plans in order to combine the Former Plans into a single plan. The Former Plans, as so combined and as subsequently amended and restated as of the effective date of April 15, 2012 (the "Effective Date"), are referred to herein as the "Plan."

         The Plan shall continue to supersede and replace the Former Plans in their entirety, except that the adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to amend or modify the terms or conditions of any award granted or election made pursuant to the Former Plans prior to the Effective Date. All awards granted and elections made pursuant to the Former Plans prior to the Effective Date shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and shall be administered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

         1.    Purpose; Types of Awards; Construction.    

         The purpose of the Plan is to afford an incentive to directors (including non-employee directors), selected employees and independent contractors of the Company, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate which now exists or hereafter is organized or acquired, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to continue as directors, employees or independent contractors, as the case may be, to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and to promote the success of the Company's business in the interest of its shareholders. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan, there may be granted Stock Options (including "incentive stock options" and "nonqualified stock options"), stock appreciation rights and limited stock appreciation rights (either in connection with options granted under the Plan or independently of options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, performance shares and other stock-or-cash-based awards. Section 10 of the Plan contains provisions governing certain compensation to non-employee directors of the Company. The Plan also provides the authority to make loans to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, provided that such loans do not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation. The Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of Regulation G (12 C.F.R. § 207) regarding the purchase of shares on margin, the requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code and the conditions for exemption from short-swing profit recovery rules under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements thereof.

         The terms and conditions of the Plan (exclusive of those set forth in the Stock Compensation Program) shall govern (i) all grants and awards made prior to the effective date of the Plan under the Stock Award and Incentive Plan and (ii) all Awards made pursuant to the Plan from and after the effective date of the Plan. The terms and conditions of all grants and awards made prior to the effective date of the Plan under the Stock Compensation Program shall govern such grants and awards, except that from and after such date the Committee under the Plan shall be responsible for

determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered; to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria and performance objectives (if any) included in, Awards and Loans in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; to designate Affiliates; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award or Loan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements and any promissory note or agreement related to any Loan (which need not be identical for each Grantee); and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

         The Committee may appoint a chairperson and a secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company, and any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Grantee (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Grantee) and any shareholder.

         No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted or Loan made hereunder.

         4.    Eligibility.    

         Subject to the conditions set forth below, Awards may be granted to directors (including non-employee directors), selected employees and independent contractors of the Company and its present or future Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and Loans may be made to any eligible person, except as may be prohibited by applicable law, rule, or regulation, in each case in the discretion of the Committee. In determining the persons to whom Awards and Loans shall be granted and the type of any Award or the amount of any Loan (including the number of shares to be covered by such Award), the Committee shall take into account such factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.

         5.    Stock Subject to the Plan.    

         The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for the grant of Awards under the Plan shall be 15,110,000 shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein. No more than 75,000 of the total shares available for grant may be awarded to a single individual in a single year. Such shares may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, the shares of Stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided that, in the case of forfeiture, cancellation, exchange or surrender of shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units

with respect to which dividends or Dividend Equivalents have been paid or accrued, the number of shares with respect to such Awards shall not be available for Awards hereunder unless, in the case of shares with respect to which dividends or Dividend Equivalents were accrued but unpaid, such dividends and Dividend Equivalents are also forfeited, exchanged or surrendered. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Awards or Awards, such related Awards or Awards shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of Stock as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

         In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, or other property), recapitalization, Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantees under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided that, with respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.

         6.    Specific Terms of Awards.    

         (a)    General.    The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

         (b)    Options.    The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

         (i)    Type of Award.    The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option under the Plan shall designate the Option as an ISO or an NQSO.

         (ii)    Exercise Price.    The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided that, in the case of an ISO, such exercise price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of grant of such Option, and in no event shall the exercise price for the purchase of shares be less than par value. The exercise price for Stock subject to an Option may be paid in cash or by an exchange of Stock previously owned by the Grantee, or a combination of both, in an amount having a combined value equal to such exercise price. A Grantee may also elect to pay all or a portion of the aggregate exercise price by having shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price withheld by the Company or sold by a

broker-dealer under circumstances meeting the requirements of 12 C.F.R. § 220 or any successor thereof.

         (iii)    Term and Exercisability of Options.    The date on which the Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting an Option shall be considered the day on which such Option is granted. Options shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided that, the Committee shall have the authority to accelerated the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. An Option may be exercised to the extent of any or all full shares of Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.

         (iv)    Termination of Employment, Etc.    An Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then in the employ of, or then maintains an independent contractor relationship with, the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate (or a company or a parent or subsidiary company of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies), and unless the Grantee has remained continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of grant of the Option; provided that, the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of Options, in the event of specified terminations, to a date not later than the expiration date of such Option.

         (v)    Other Provisions.    Options may be subject to such other conditions including, but not limited to, restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such Options, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion or as may be required by applicable law.

         (c)    SARs and Limited SARs.    The Committee is authorized to grant both stand-alone and in-tandem SARs and Limited SARs to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

         (i)    In General.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an SAR or a Limited SAR (1) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter or (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time of grant of the related ISO. An SAR or Limited SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the underlying Option is exercisable.

         (ii)    SARs.    An SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive an amount with respect to each share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR shall be such price as the Committee may determine).

         (iii)    Limited SARs.    A Limited SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive with respect to each share subject thereto, automatically upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, an amount equal in value to the excess of (1) the Change in Control Price (in the case of a Limited SAR granted in tandem with an ISO, the Fair Market Value), of one share of Stock on the date of such Change in Control over (2) the grant price of the Limited SAR (which in the case of a Limited SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other Limited SAR shall be such price as

the Committee determines); provided that, in the case of a Limited SAR granted to a Grantee who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (a "Section 16 Individual"), such Section 16 Individual shall only be entitled to receive such amount if such Limited SAR has been outstanding for at least six (6) months as of the date of the Change in Control.

         (d)    Restricted Stock.    The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

         (i)    Issuance and Restrictions.    Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions may include factors relating to the increase in the value of the Stock or to individual or Company performance such as the attainment of certain specified individual, divisional or Company-wide performance goals, sales volume increases or decreases in earnings per share. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a Grantee granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a shareholder including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.

         (ii)    Forfeiture.    Upon termination of employment with or service to the Company, or upon termination of the independent contractor relationship, as the case may be, during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends or Dividend Equivalents that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided that, the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock.

         (iii)    Certificates for Stock.    Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Grantee, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate.

         (iv)    Dividends.    Dividends paid on Restricted Stock shall be either paid at the dividend payment date, or deferred for payment to such date as determined by the Committee, in cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends. Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed.

         (e)    Restricted Stock Units.    The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Grantees, subject to the following terms and conditions:

         (i)    Award and Restrictions.    Delivery of Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, will occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. In addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the

A-9

Committee may impose, at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period, not less than eighteen months, or at later specified times, separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions may include, but are not limited to, factors relating to the increase in the value of the Stock or to individual or Company performance such as the attainment of certain specified individual, divisional or Company-wide performance goals as described in Section 7(d) and 7(e).

         (ii)    Forfeiture.    Upon termination of employment or termination of the independent contractor relationship during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply, or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Stock or cash to which such Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided that, the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.

         (f)    Stock Awards in Lieu of Cash Awards.    The Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant other Awards, in lieu of Company commitments to pay cash under other plans or compensatory arrangements. Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall have such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee.

         (g)    Dividend Equivalents.    The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Grantees. The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, or other investment vehicles as the Committee may specify, provided that Dividend Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend Equivalents) shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions on the underlying Awards to which they relate.

         (h)    Performance Shares and Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards.    The Committee is authorized to grant to Grantees Performance Shares and/or Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, or valued by reference to the performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

         7.    Determining Annual Performance Based Awards    

         Awards to Covered Employees are intended to constitute performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and to comply with the exemption from the deduction prohibitions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

         (a)    For each calendar year, each Covered Employee may be entitled to receive a payment ("Annual Performance Award") pursuant to a Variable Compensation Plan in an amount determined by the Committee as provided in this Plan. To the extent permitted by a Variable Compensation Plan, the payment of an Annual Performance Award may be made in cash, common stock or restricted stock of the Company, or any other form as provided for in this Plan, or a combination thereof.

Table of Contents

         (b)    The maximum Annual Performance Award paid to a Participant for a calendar year under any individual Variable Compensation Plan may not exceed the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) five times the Covered Employee's most recently disclosed Annual Performance Award.

         (c)    For any calendar year or performance period, the Committee may designate one or more of the business criteria ("Performance Measures") set forth in this Section 7 for use in determining the amount of an Annual Performance Award for an individual in relation to such year or period; provided that such designation would not subject any Annual Performance Award to the deduction limitations of Section 162(m). Performance Measures designated for any Participant in a calendar year or other performance period may be different from year to year and those designated for other Covered Employees as the Committee may determine. To the extent applicable to any Performance Measure, the Committee may specify a Performance Measure in relation to total Company performance or in relation to the performance of identifiable business unit(s) of the Company.

         (d)    For each Performance Measure designated by the Committee, the Committee shall designate a specific, objectively measurable target, schedule or threshold ("Performance Goal") against which actual performance is to be measured for purposes of determining the amount of any Annual Performance Award; provided that any such designation would not subject any Performance Award to the deduction limitations of Section 162(m). A Performance Goal may be expressed in any form as the Committee may determine including, but not limited to: (1) percentage growth; (2) absolute growth; (3) cumulative growth; (4) performance in relation to an index; (5) performance in relation to peer company performance; (6) a designated absolute amount; (7) percent of sales; (8) per share of common stock outstanding, and (9) completion of a specific task or objective.

         (e)    Performance Measures may be expressed in terms of one or more of the following criteria on which Performance Goals may be based: (1) earnings (either in the aggregate or on a per-share basis, reflecting dilution of shares as the Committee deems appropriate and, if the Committee so determines, net of or including dividends) before or after interest and taxes ("EBIT") or before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"); (2) gross or net revenue, or changes in annual revenues; (3) cash flow(s) (including either operating or net cash flows); (4) financial return ratios; (5) total shareholder return, shareholder return based on growth measures or the attainment by the shares of a specified value for a specified period of time, share price or share price appreciation; (6) earnings growth or growth in earnings per share; (7) return measures, including return or net return on assets, net assets, equity, capital or gross sales; (8) adjusted pre-tax margin; (9) pre-tax profits; (10) operating margins; (11) operating profits; (12) operating expenses; (13) net income, net operating income, or adjusted net income; (14) growth in operating earnings or growth in earnings per share; (15) market share or market penetration with respect to specific designated services or business segments and/or specific geographic areas; (16) aggregate service pricing and other service offering measures; (17) expense or cost levels, in each case, where applicable, determined either on a Company-wide basis or in respect of any one or more specified divisions; (18) reduction of losses, loss ratios or expense ratios; (19) operating cost management; (20) debt reduction; (21) productivity improvements; (22) satisfaction of specified business expansion goals or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures; (23) customer satisfaction based on specified objective goals or a Company-sponsored customer survey; (24) employee satisfaction based on specified objective goals or a Company-sponsored customer survey; (25) employee diversity goals; (26) employee turnover; (27) specified objective social goals, or (28) other strategic events that could alter the normal course of business, the description of which would disclose material competitive information. Any criteria may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to another corporation or corporations. To the extent applicable, any such performance objective shall be determined (i) in accordance with the Company's audited

Table of Contents

financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles and reported upon by the Company's independent accountants or (ii) so that a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether such performance objective is met.

         (f)     The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date of grant or, to the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, thereafter; provided that Performance Goals for determining Covered Employees' Annual Performance Awards shall be established by the Committee not later than the latest date permissible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

         (g)    The Committee shall certify in writing prior to payment of any Annual Performance Award, or other Award hereunder, that the relevant Performance Goals and any other material terms were in fact satisfied.

         8.    Change in Control Provisions.    

         The following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change in Control unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board in writing at or after the grant of an Award, but prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control:

         (a)    any Award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested;

         (b)    the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any performance conditions imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved; and

         (c)    the value of all outstanding Awards shall, to the extent determined by the Committee at or after grant, be determined on the basis of the Change in Control Price as of the date the Change in Control occurs or such other date as the Committee may determine prior to the Change in Control.

         9.    Loan Provisions.    

         Subject to the provisions of the Plan and all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including the requirements of Regulation G (12 C.F.R. § 207)) and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which Stock is listed, the Committee shall have the authority to make Loans to Grantees (on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine), to enable such Grantees to purchase shares in connection with the realization of Awards under the Plan. Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other agreement, signed by the borrower, which shall contain provisions for repayment and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

         10.    Special Non-Employee Director Awards.    

         (a)    Stock and Restricted Stock Units    

         (i)    Annual Grants.    In addition to any other Award granted hereunder, non-employee directors of the Company may be granted Restricted Stock Units in such amounts and with such

         (I)     Non-employee directors can elect to receive their Stock either:

         i.       during the calendar year in which the annual retainer is to be earned, in quarterly installments equal to the percent of the annual retainer elected to be received in Stock, divided by four, divided by the price per share of Stock on the last day of each quarter, prorated for any partial calendar year or quarter (for administrative purposes, shares may not actually be distributed until after the end of the year in which the annual retainer was earned), or

         ii.      on a deferred basis:

         a.      until they retire from the Board,

         b.      ten (10) years from the date they retire from the Board,

         c.      for a period of not less than 1 year and not more than 10 years, in increments of 1 year, or

         d.      until they retire from their primary employment.

         (II)   Any election to defer Stock shall be made prior to the year in which the annual retainer subject to deferral shall be paid and shall be irrevocable. Any newly elected non-employee director shall have five (5) days from the date of their election to the Board to elect to defer any percentage hereunder. An election shall continue in effect until revoked.

         11.    General Provisions.    

         (a)    Approval.    The Plan shall take effect upon its adoption by the Board, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company in the manner and to the degree required by applicable laws and regulations, including the applicable rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed.

         (b)    Nontransferability.    Awards shall not be transferable by a Grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, if then permitted under Rule 16b-3, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Grantee only by such Grantee or his guardian or legal representative.

         (c)    No Right to Continued Employment, Etc.    Nothing in the Plan or in any Award or Loan granted or any Award Agreement, promissory note or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto

A-13

Table of Contents

shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ of or to continue as an independent contractor of the Company, any subsidiary or any Affiliate or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Award Agreement, promissory note or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate such Grantee's employment or independent contractor relationship.

         (d)    Taxes.    The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other payment to a Grantee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Grantees to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Grantee's tax obligations.

         (e)    Amendment and Termination of the Plan.    The Board may at any time and from time-to-time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantee's consent, under any Award or Loan theretofore granted under the Plan.

         The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with applicable law, rule, or regulation. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board may not, without approval of the Company's shareholders:

         (i)     materially increase the number of shares of Stock issuable under the Plan, except for permissible adjustment as provided for herein; or

         (ii)    reprice Options issued under the Plan by lowering the exercise price of a previously granted award, by canceling outstanding Options and issuing replacements, or by otherwise replacing existing Options with substitute Options with a lower price.

         (f)    No Rights to Awards or Loans; No Shareholder Rights.    No Grantee shall have any claim to be granted any Award or Loan under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Grantees. Except as provided specifically herein, a Grantee or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares.

         (g)    Unfunded Status of Awards.    The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

         (h)    No Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

         (i)     The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Common Stock with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

         (ii)    Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Common Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

         (iii)   In the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Common Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Committee may require a Grantee receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such Grantee is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution.

         (j)    Governing Law.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
