Tai with sincere regret. Jones Lang LaSalle wishes to convey its deep appreciation to Mr. Tai for his excellent service to the firm and to its Board of Directors. Mr. Tai resigned on Wednesday, October 6, 2004, effective that date. Mr. Tai also served as a member of each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. A copy of Mr. Tai's correspondence tendering his resignation is attached as an Exhibit to this Form 8-K filing. Mr. Tai had been a member of the Board since May, 2002. Mr. Tai, the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DBS Bank, a banking organization headquartered in Singapore, resigned because of a potential conflict of interest that has arisen between Jones Lang LaSalle and DBS Bank, as follows. Jones Lang LaSalle provides certain real estate management services to DBS Bank in the ordinary course of business, including with respect to one of the branches of DBS Bank (Hong Kong). As part of the renovation of the branch, an international firm specializing in the installation and removal of safe-deposit boxes was hired to manage the removal of empty safe deposit boxes. During the removal on the weekend of October 2, 2004, 83 safe-deposit boxes in current use were sent for destruction together with over 800 other empty safe deposit boxes planned for removal. At this point, both DBS Bank and Jones Lang LaSalle do not believe the incident reflected anything other than a highly regrettable human error by the contractor. DBS Bank and Jones Lang LaSalle are continuing to investigate the incident as expeditiously as possible. ITEM 9.01.
