Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 4, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the payment of a special one-time bonus of $600,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Daly. This special arrangement, which was instituted on August 2, 2007 by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Award Plan, had a target bonus payout of $500,000 payable on the achievement of 100% of the Company’s six-month net operating income target during the period ending December 31, 2007. Under this special arrangement, the target bonus payout was adjusted depending on the Company’s actual level of achievement of the performance target and for the effects of various events including acquisitions, dispositions, changes in accounting rules or other extraordinary items occurring during such six-month period. The payment is to be made in cash, provided Mr. Daly is employed at the Company on the payment date, which is anticipated to be no later than February 29, 2008.
