Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, on May 4, 2026, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the offering and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). The Underwriting Agreement was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2026 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Offering of the Notes was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-289263 (the “Registration Statement”) of the Company and a prospectus supplement dated May 4, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 6, 2026. The Offering closed on May 15, 2026.

On May 15, 2026, the Company entered into a base indenture, dated May 15, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and a first supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”, and the Base Indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between Company and the Trustee. Pursuant to the Indenture, on May 15, 2026, the Company  issued $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.750% per annum and will mature on May 15, 2036. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026.

The Company may redeem at its election, at any time or from time to time, some or all of the Notes before they mature at a redemption price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of record of such Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), plus (ii) a “make-whole” premium (as detailed in the forms of Notes filed herewith). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after February 15, 2036, the redemption price will not include any premium.

Upon a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.

The Notes are the Company’s general unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The Notes effectively rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness and to all liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries, through which the Company currently conducts substantially all of its operations.

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants relating to limitations on: (i) liens; (ii) certain asset sales and mergers and consolidations; and (iii) sale and leaseback transactions, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions.


The Indenture contains customary terms providing that, upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company, the principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the occurrence of such event, shall be immediately due and payable.

The above descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of those agreements filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, which are incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the Notes offering, White & Case LLP provided certain legal opinions to the Company that are filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Form 8-K.
