M. Jeannine Strandjord notified DST Systems, Inc. on April 2, 2012 that she will retire from the DST Board.  Ms. Strandjord serves as a director of other companies, and she has elected to retire from the DST Board in order to comply with a policy at one of those companies that now limits her ability to continue to simultaneously serve as a director at DST.  Ms. Strandjord will continue to serve as a DST Director and as Chairperson of the DST Audit Committee until May 8, 2012, and her retirement will be effective immediately prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting of the Company’s shareholders on that date.
