Each nominee has consented to be nominated and, if elected, to serve on the Board until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their death, resignation, retirement, or removal. | |||||||||||||||||
Directors are elected annually by a majority of the votes cast in uncontested elections at the annual meetings of stockholders. In an uncontested election, any incumbent director who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast is required to promptly submit an offer to resign from the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the director’s offer to resign. The Board will act on the offer to resign within 90 days from the date of the certification of election results and publicly disclose its decision. | |||||||||||||||||
The Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have evaluated each of the director nominees against the factors and principles used to select director nominees. Based on this evaluation, they have concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for each of the proposed director nominees on pages 10-19 to serve as a director of the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
The composition of our Board reflects a mix of tenures, which we believe balances historical and institutional knowledge, and an understanding of the evolution of our business with fresh perspectives from our more recent additions to the Board | |||||||||||||||||

2026 Proxy Statement Broadridge | 39 |
In recognition of the interest the Company’s stockholders have in the Company’s executive compensation policies and practices, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, this proposal provides the Company’s stockholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of the NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules in this Proxy Statement. | |||||
As described in more detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 41 of this Proxy Statement, the Company has adopted an executive compensation program that reflects the Company’s philosophy that executive compensation should be structured to align each executive’s interests with the interests of our stockholders. | |||||
The mix of compensation elements for the NEOs, and particularly the CEO, is more heavily weighted towards variable, performance-based compensation than for the balance of the Company’s executive officers. This is intended to ensure that the executives who are most responsible for overall performance and changes in shareholder value are held most accountable for results. For fiscal year 2026, approximately 94% of the target TDC of our CEO, Mr. Gokey, and approximately 84% of the target TDC of our other NEOs (on average), is at risk and tied primarily to the growth and profitability of the Company. Broadridge demonstrated another year of strong growth in fiscal year 2026 with 8% Recurring revenue growth constant currency and 12% Adjusted EPS growth. In line with the Company’s strong overall financial performance in fiscal year 2026, the annual cash incentive payments for the NEOs ranged from 102% to 110% of their targets. | |||||
Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee concluded that fiscal year 2026 compensation was well aligned with our performance for the year and that the connection between pay and performance is strong. | |||||
The stockholder vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs. This vote is advisory and will not be binding on the Company. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when evaluating future compensation decisions relating to our NEOs. | |||||

42 | Broadridge 2026 Proxy Statement |
Balanced Incentive Metrics Supporting our Strategy | The performance metrics used in the Company's annual cash incentive and long-term equity incentive programs are intended to align executive compensation with Broadridge's operating plan and the creation of long-term shareholder value. For fiscal year 2026, these included: Annual Cash Incentive: ▪ Fee-Based Revenue is the foundation for the Company’s future growth ▪ Adjusted EBT is a key measure of annual corporate performance ▪ Closed Sales is an important measure for expected future revenue, which drives the Company’s growth ▪ Client Onboarding reflects the importance of timely conversion of client engagements into revenue realization ▪ Client Satisfaction emphasizes the importance of client retention to the achievement of Broadridge’s financial goals ▪ Strategic and Leadership goals reinforce the importance of the Company’s non-financial strategic objectives, including human capital matters ▪ Associate engagement as a component of the Strategic and Leadership goals emphasizes the importance of engaging associates in driving the Company’s performance Long-Term Equity Incentive: ▪ Adjusted EPS is a primary measure of long-term corporate profitability and is intended to provide alignment with stockholders’ interests and hold executives accountable for the long-term performance of the Company ▪ Organic Recurring Revenue Growth was added as an additional performance measure in fiscal year 2026 in response to feedback provided by some investors and to further align our compensation program to the Company’s performance | ||||
Compensation Aligned with Performance | We believe that aligning our executives’ incentives with Broadridge’s strategic goals is critical to attain long-term strategic success Annual cash incentive payments to the NEOs for fiscal year 2026 ranged from 102% to 110% of their targets Our NEOs’ actual TDC for fiscal year 2026 reflects the Company’s strong overall financial performance | ||||
Robust Clawback Policy | Broadridge’s Clawback Policy includes compensation elements such as time-vested equity awards, discretionary bonuses, and severance payments, as recoupable in the event of either an accounting restatement that the Board determines is the result of a person’s intentional acts or omissions, or engagement in certain activities, such as intentional misconduct, fraud, and failure to appropriately supervise, that causes financial or reputational damage. | ||||
Risk Mitigation and Corporate Governance Policies and Practices | Broadridge has certain policies in place to minimize excessive risk taking such as our Clawback Policy and a policy that prohibits the hedging or pledging of the Company’s securities. In addition, in consultation with FW Cook, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation programs for all Broadridge employees and concluded that these programs do not create risks that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. | ||||
Consistent Say on Pay Support | At the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders continued their strong support of our executive compensation program with approximately 92% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal. Based on the results, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s current executive compensation program is aligned with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee decided to retain the core elements and pay for performance design of our executive compensation program for fiscal year 2026. | ||||

401(k) | SORP | ERSP | UK GROUP PERSONAL PENSION | ||||||||
Our U.S.-based NEOs are provided retirement benefits on the same terms as those offered to other U.S.-based employees through the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to save for retirement on a tax-deferred or Roth after-tax basis, and Broadridge makes matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan to encourage participation in this plan. | Mr. Gokey and Mr. DeSchutter participate in the Supplemental Officer Retirement Plan (the “SORP”). The SORP provides supplemental benefits to certain executive officers and was intended to support the objective of attracting and retaining key talent by improving the competitiveness of our rewards package and tying the receipt of value to continued tenure through a defined retirement age. The SORP closed to new participants on January 1, 2014. | The Amended and Restated Broadridge Executive Retirement and Savings Plan (the “ERSP”) is a defined contribution restoration plan that mirrors the 401(k) Plan for a select group of U.S.-based executives. The ERSP allows for voluntary deferrals of base salary and/or cash incentives and employer contributions above the qualified plan limitations. SORP participants are eligible to defer cash compensation into the ERSP but are not eligible for Company matching. | Mr. Carey participates in the Group Personal Pension (“GPP”) which provides 12% of base salary into his pension plan or as a gross allowance. The GPP is a defined contribution arrangement for our UK-based employees. The GPP allows employees to save for their retirement in a tax efficient manner, with contributions from both the employee and Broadridge. There are limits as to the total amount that can be contributed into such plans for high earners, and Broadridge provides a cash allowance in lieu of restricted pension contributions to Mr. Carey to account for this limitation. | ||||||||
ASSOCIATE BENEFITS | EXECUTIVE RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE | PERQUISITES | ||||||
Our NEOs receive health and welfare benefits during active employment on the same terms as those offered to other employees in their respective country. | Certain U.S.-based NEOs who terminate employment with the Company after they have attained age 55 and have at least 10 years of service are eligible to participate in our Executive Retiree Health Insurance Plan. This plan is a post-retirement benefit plan that helps defray the health costs of eligible key executive retirees and qualifying dependents until they reach the age of 65 and are entitled to benefits under Medicare. This plan is closed to new entrants. Mr. Gokey, Mr. Perry, and Mr. DeSchutter are eligible to participate. | Broadridge provides the NEOs with a Company-paid car or car allowance. Under the Matching Gift Program, Broadridge provides up to $15,000 per calendar year in matching of charitable contributions made to qualified tax-exempt organizations in the U.S. on behalf of executive officers. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Carey’s UK and U.S. tax preparation fees. The Compensation Committee reviewed these perquisites in fiscal year 2026 and determined that they are in line with perquisites provided by companies with which Broadridge competes for talent. | ||||||
