LAKE SUCCESS, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/12/09 --
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
(NYSE: BR) today announced the launch of a new shareholder education
website (www.shareholdereducation.com) designed to provide retail
shareholders with important information about the proxy voting process.
The website details the proxy voting process and includes information on
proxy materials, methods in which shareholders can cast their votes, and a
brief history of the evolution of the proxy process -- including the new
Notice and Access form of proxy materials that many shareholders are
beginning to receive. Shareholders can also find helpful investor links,
as well as a glossary of investment and proxy terms that could be important
to retail shareholders as they track their investments and vote their
proxies. The site also features an interactive tutorial that guides users
through the proxy voting process from start to finish.
"Our goal is to provide education and information to the investing public.
We strongly believe that efforts like this will increase awareness of, and
participation in, the important proxy voting process," said Maryellen
Andersen, Vice President of Corporate & Institutional Relations and
Corporate Governance Officer, Broadridge.
Broadridge is working with regulatory entities, industry associations,
companies, institutional investors, banks and brokers to promote
shareholder education. Many industry participants are interested in
offering www.shareholdereducation.com directly to their clients -- through
company or association websites, or in shareholder materials.
Broadridge supports market participants in the proxy and investor
communications processes by continually investing in its infrastructure and
in new technologies. The company is committed to delivering efficient and
innovative investor communications tools to the industry.
