CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS
Broadridge expects the highest possible ethical conduct from its Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers. Your full compliance with this Code and with Broadridge's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is mandatory. You are expected (i) to foster a culture of transparency, integrity and honesty, and (ii) to ensure that everyone in your organization also fully complies with this Code.
In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any change to, or waiver of, this Code must be immediately publicly disclosed.
Conflicts of Interest
You must avoid any personal activity, investment or association that could appear to interfere with good judgment concerning Broadridge's best interests. You may not exploit your position or relationship with Broadridge for personal gain. You should avoid even the appearance of such a conflict. For example, there is a likely conflict of interest if you:
•cause Broadridge to engage in business transactions with relatives or friends;
•use Broadridge property, nonpublic Broadridge, client or vendor information or Broadridge position for personal gain by you, or for the benefit of your relatives or friends (including securities transactions based on such information);
•have more than a modest financial interest in Broadridge's vendors, clients or competitors;
•receive a loan, or guarantee of obligations, from Broadridge or a third party as a result of your position at Broadridge; or
•compete, or prepare to compete, with Broadridge while still employed by Broadridge.
There are other situations in which a conflict of interest may arise. If you have concerns about any situation, follow the steps outlined in the Section on "Reporting Violations."
As a Broadridge Principal Executive Officer or Senior Financial Officer, it is imperative that you avoid any investment, interest or association that interferes, might interfere, or might appear to interfere, with your independent exercise of judgment in Broadridge’s best interests.
Engaging in any conduct that represents a conflict of interest is strictly prohibited.

Conclusion
In the final analysis you are the guardian of Broadridge's ethics. While there are no universal rules, when in doubt ask yourself:
•Will my actions be ethical in every respect and fully comply with the law and with Broadridge policies?
3
•Will my actions have the appearance of impropriety?
•Will my actions be questioned by my supervisors, associates, clients, family and the general public?
•Am I trying to fool anyone, including myself, as to the propriety of my actions?
If you are uncomfortable with your answer to any of the above, you should not take the contemplated actions without first discussing them with your local management. If you are still uncomfortable, please follow the steps outlined above in the Section on "Reporting Violations."
Any associate who ignores or violates any of Broadridge's ethical standards, and any manager who penalizes a subordinate for trying to follow these ethical standards, will be subject to corrective action, including immediate dismissal. However, it is not the threat of discipline that should govern your actions. Broadridge expects you to share its belief that a dedicated commitment to ethical behavior is the right thing to do, is good business, and is the surest way for Broadridge to remain a World Class Service company.
