(CUSIP 47103N 114)
Dear Warrant Holder,
Janus International Group, Inc. (the Company) hereby gives notice that it is redeeming, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 12, 2021 (the Redemption Date), all of the Companys outstanding warrants (the Warrants) to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Common Stock) for a redemption price of $0.10 per Warrant (the Redemption Price), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 (the June Warrant Agreement), by and between the Company (f/k/a Juniper Industrial Holdings, Inc.) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the Warrant Agent) and the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2021 (the July Warrant Agreement and, together with the June Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreements), by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent. As described in further detail below, following delivery of this notice of redemption, all Warrants may be exercised either for cash, or on a cashless basis, as further described below. Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable and their holders will have no rights with respect to those Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price or as otherwise described in this notice for holders who hold their Warrants in street name.
The Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) under the symbol JBI WS and the Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol JBI. On October 12, 2021, the last reported sale price of the Warrants was $3.25 and the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was $11.87.
We understand from the NYSE that November 11, 2021, the trading day prior to the Redemption Date, will be the last day on which the Warrants will be traded on the NYSE.
TERMS OF REDEMPTION; CESSATION OF RIGHTS
The rights of the Warrant holders to exercise their Warrants will terminate immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date. At 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date and thereafter, holders of unexercised Warrants will have no rights with respect to those warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price. We encourage you to consult with your broker, financial advisor and/or tax advisor to consider whether or not to exercise your Warrants. Note that the act of exercising is VOLUNTARY, meaning holders must instruct their broker to submit the Warrants for exercise.
The Company is exercising this right to redeem the Warrants pursuant to Section 6 of the Warrant Agreements. Pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreements, the Company has the right to redeem all of the outstanding Warrants if the last sale price of the Common Stock has been at least $10.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. The last reported sale price of the Common Stock on October 12, 2021, the trading day prior to the date on which this notice of redemption is being given, was at least $10.00 per share.
EXERCISE PROCEDURES
Warrant holders have until immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date to exercise their Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. Warrants may be exercised for cash at the Cash Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3.3.1(a) of the Warrant Agreements, or pursuant to the make-whole exercise provisions pursuant to (x) Sections 3.3.1(c) and 6.2 of the June Warrant Agreement and (y) Sections 3.3.1(d) and 6.2 of the July Warrant Agreement (each, a Make-Whole Exercise) or as otherwise described for certain holders on a cashless basis.
Cash Exercise: Subject to the terms below and prior to the delivery of this notice of redemption, a Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a cash price of $11.50 per Warrant exercised (the Cash Exercise Price). Payment of the Cash Exercise Price may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Wire instructions will be provided to the Depository Trust Company and will otherwise be provided upon request.
Cashless Exercise: If exercising on a cashless basis as a Make-Whole Exercise, a holder exercising a Warrant will surrender Warrants for a certain number of shares of Common Stock as determined in the applicable Warrant Agreement. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless Make-Whole Exercise of the Warrants, exercising warrant holders will receive 0.3 of a share of Common Stock for each Warrant surrendered for exercise.
The number of shares that each exercising warrant holder will receive by virtue of the Make-Whole Exercise was calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Warrant Agreements as set forth in the Election to Purchase (a form of which is attached as Annex A hereto) (the Election to Purchase). If any holder of Warrants would, after taking into account all of such holders Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock the holder will be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
Certain Permitted Transferees of Private Warrants (each as defined in the July Warrant Agreement) may also elect to exercise their Private Warrants in accordance with Section 3.3.1(c) of the July Warrant Agreement, as further described in the Election to Purchase.
Those who hold their Warrants in street name should immediately contact their broker to determine their brokers procedure for exercising their Warrants since the process to exercise is VOLUNTARY.

The fully and properly completed Election to Purchase and, if the applicable Warrants are exercised for cash, payment in full of the Cash Exercise Price, must be received by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date. Subject to the following paragraph, any failure to deliver a fully and properly completed Election to Purchase before such time will result in such holders Warrants being redeemed and not exercised.
WARRANTS HELD IN STREET NAME
For holders of Warrants who hold their Warrants in street name, provided that a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is received by the Warrant Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, broker-dealers shall have two NYSE trading days from the Redemption Date, or 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 12, 2021, to deliver the Warrants to the Warrant Agent. Any such Warrant received without the Election to Purchase or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery having been duly executed and fully and properly completed will be deemed to have been delivered for redemption (at the Redemption Price of $0.10 per Warrant), and not for exercise.
