(a) Effective July 6, 2017, the Board of Directors of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s amended and restated by-laws (the “Amended By-laws”) to revise the proxy access by-law provision adopted in 2015.

The amendments approved on July 6, 2017: (i) increased the number of stockholders that can aggregate their shares to make a proxy access Board nomination from 20 to 50 stockholders, (ii) eliminated a requirement to count individual funds within a mutual fund family as separate shareholders for purposes of satisfying the minimum ownership requirements to make a proxy access nomination, and (iii) eliminated a requirement that a previously nominated proxy access nominee achieve a specified level of shareholder approval in order to be eligible for re-nomination.
