On August 3, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

As a result of these modifications, Mr. Daly’s total target compensation for fiscal year 2011 is $3,775,000.

The Compensation Committee also modified the compensation arrangement of Bob Schifellite, the Company’s Corporate Vice President, Investor Communication Solutions, by increasing his annual base salary to $400,000 from $348,400, effective on August 1, 2010. Mr. Schifellite’s annual performance-based cash incentive target for fiscal year 2011 will be $400,000 (or 100% of his base salary), with a maximum attainable amount equal to 200% of the target amount. In addition, his annual long-term incentive compensation target for fiscal year 2011 was increased to $500,000 from $325,000.
