Rich founded the business that ultimately became Broadridge and has been an integral part of the organization ever since, serving as our CEO for 12 years, a member of our Board since 2007, and, most recently, our Executive Chairman. He continues to be an exceptional mentor and I look forward to continuing to work with Rich in support of the Company’s growth as he transitions to Chair Emeritus. Pam has been a member of our Board since 2017 and the Chair of our Audit Committee. Her strong leadership will be deeply missed. I want to thank Rich and Pam for their many years of exemplary service on the Board and wish them well.

Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure For fiscal year 2025, non-management directors received the following compensation for their service on our Board and Committees:
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
| (1) DSUs and stock options are granted annually in November and vest at grant. |
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
| (2) All cash retainers are paid on a quarterly basis. |
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
| (3) The Lead Independent Director additional retainer is comprised of $72,500 in cash and $67,500 in equity (split evenly between DSUs and stock options). |
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
Directors may participate in the Broadridge Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) which allows them to defer their cash compensation into grants of DSUs that settle in shares of Common Stock. The number of DSUs awarded is determined by dividing the quarterly cash payment by the closing price of Common Stock on the day before cash payments are made. This election is made annually prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the retainers and fees are earned and is irrevocable for the entire calendar year. Accounts are credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs on a quarterly basis as dividends are declared by the Board. Participants’ DSUs convert to shares of Common Stock upon their departure from the Board either in a lump sum amount or in installments for up to five years, as previously elected by the director. Non-management directors received annual grants of stock options and DSUs under the 2018 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2018 Omnibus Plan”) approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. The number of shares comprising each director’s equity awards is determined at the time of grant based on a 30-day average stock price prior to the distribution of meeting materials, and, for stock options, the binomial stock option valuation method.
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
| 32 | Broadridge 2025 Proxy Statement |
Non-Management Director Compensation Structure
All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of Common Stock on the date of grant.

Following separation from service on the Board, outstanding stock options held by directors expire at the earlier of the expiration of the option term and three years. All DSUs are granted at the same time as stock options, are fully vested upon grant, and will settle as shares of Common Stock upon the director’s separation from service on the Board. DSUs are credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs on a quarterly basis as dividends are declared by the Board.

| PROPOSAL 2 | | Advisory Vote to Approve Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers (the Say on Pay Vote) |
Non-Management Director Compensation Table
| In recognition of the interest the Company’s stockholders have in the Company’s executive compensation policies and practices, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, this proposal provides the Company’s stockholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of the NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules in this Proxy Statement. | | As described in more detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 40 of this Proxy Statement, the Company has adopted an executive compensation program that reflects the Company’s philosophy that executive compensation should be structured to align each executive’s interests with the interests of our stockholders. | | The mix of compensation elements for the NEOs, and particularly the CEO, is more heavily weighted towards variable, performance-based compensation than for the balance of the Company’s executive officers. This is intended to ensure that the executives who are most responsible for overall performance and changes in shareholder value are held most accountable for results. For fiscal year 2025, approximately 93% of the target TDC of our CEO, Mr. Gokey, and approximately 82% of the target TDC of our other NEOs (on average), is at risk and tied primarily to the growth and profitability of the Company. Broadridge demonstrated another year of strong growth in fiscal year 2025 with 7% Recurring revenue growth constant currency and 11% Adjusted EPS growth. In line with the Company’s strong overall financial performance in fiscal year 2025, the annual cash incentive payments for the NEOs ranged from 95% to 98% of their targets. | | Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee concluded that fiscal year 2025 compensation was well aligned with our performance for the year and that the connection between pay and performance is strong. | | The stockholder vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs. This vote is advisory and will not be binding on the Company. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when evaluating future compensation decisions relating to our NEOs. |

2025 Compensation Highlights
| Balanced Incentive Metrics Supporting our Strategy | The performance metrics utilized for the Company’s annual cash incentive and long-term equity incentive compensation align with Broadridge’s operating plan and the goal of creating shareholder value. For fiscal year 2025, these included: Annual Cash Incentive: ▪ Fee-Based Revenue is the foundation for the Company’s future growth ▪ Adjusted EBT is a key measure of annual corporate performance ▪ Closed Sales is an important measure for expected future revenue, which drives the Company’s growth ▪ Client Onboarding was added in fiscal year 2025 to further drive timely revenue realization. The percentage attributable to Fee-Based Revenue and Adjusted EBT were both lowered, as those goals are highly correlated to successful onboarding of clients ▪ Client Satisfaction emphasizes the importance of client retention to the achievement of Broadridge’s financial goals ▪ Strategic and Leadership goals reinforce the importance of the Company’s non-financial strategic objectives, including human capital matters ▪ For fiscal year 2026, the Compensation Committee approved adding associate engagement as an additional component of the Strategic and Leadership goals portion of our annual cash incentive to emphasize the importance of engaged associates in driving the Company’s performance Long-Term Equity Incentive: ▪ Adjusted EPS is a primary measure of long-term corporate profitability and is intended to provide alignment with stockholders’ interests and hold executives accountable for the long-term performance of the Company ▪ For fiscal year 2026, the Compensation Committee approved adding organic Recurring revenue growth as an additional performance measure for our PRSUs. This change was made to better align our program with prevalent market practices and be responsive to feedback provided by some investors as part of our engagement process | | Compensation Aligned with Performance | We believe that aligning our executives’ incentives with Broadridge’s strategic goals is critical to attain long-term strategic success Annual cash incentive payments to the NEOs for fiscal year 2025 ranged from 95% to 98% of their targets Our NEOs’ actual TDC for fiscal year 2025 reflects the Company’s strong overall financial performance In fiscal year 2024, Broadridge transitioned from a two-year performance period to a three-year performance period for our PRSUs. This change was made to better align our program with prevalent market practices and be responsive to feedback provided by investors as part of our investor engagement process. As a result of this transition, no PRSUs were earned in fiscal year 2025. | | Robust Clawback Policy | In fiscal year 2025, Broadridge expanded its Clawback Policy to include additional compensation elements, including time-vested equity awards, discretionary bonuses, and severance payments, as recoupable in the event of either an accounting restatement that the Board determines is the result of a person’s intentional acts or omissions, or engagement in certain activities, such as intentional misconduct, fraud, and failure to appropriately supervise, that causes financial or reputational damage. | | Risk Mitigation and Corporate Governance Policies and Practices | Broadridge has certain policies in place to minimize excessive risk taking such as our Clawback Policy and a policy that prohibits the hedging or pledging of the Company’s securities. In addition, in consultation with FW Cook, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation programs for all Broadridge employees and concluded that these programs do not create risks that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. | | Consistent Say on Pay Support | At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders continued their strong support of our executive compensation program with approximately 89.2% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal. Based on the results, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s current executive compensation program is aligned with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee decided to retain the core elements and pay for performance design of our executive compensation program for fiscal year 2025. |
Compensation Governance Best Practices
| | What We Do | What We Don’t Do | | Competitive Compensation Design | Design compensation programs that do not encourage excessive risk taking Engage an independent compensation consultant for the Compensation Committee that does no other work for the Company Require minimum vesting periods for awards granted to associates, subject to limited exceptions | Provide tax gross-ups in the event of a change in control Pay dividends or dividend equivalents as a part of our long-term incentive program before vesting of the underlying shares occurs Provide excessive perquisites for our executive officers or directors Permit stock option repricing without stockholder approval or grants of discount stock options | | Pay for Performance | Require a majority of NEO target compensation be performance based Provide stockholders an annual Say on Pay Vote | | | Compensation Policies | Maintain a robust Clawback Policy Maintain a severance policy that provides for change in control cash payments and equity vesting, only on a double-trigger basis Prohibit hedging or pledging of the Company’s securities by our executive officers, directors, and employees Maintain robust stock ownership guidelines for executive officers, including a rigorous 6x base salary requirement for the CEO Have stock retention and holding period requirements Require executives to agree to be bound by a restrictive covenant agreement containing non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions | No liberal recycling of shares No single-trigger vesting on a change in control |
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance measures of the annual cash incentive awards for the NEOs would be calculated as follows:
Closed Sales(1)
Client Onboarding was added as a component of the corporate financial goals for fiscal year 2025 to further drive timely revenue realization. Time from client engagement to revenue realization is a key driver for Broadridge's success. This component comprises 10% of the total annual cash incentive and is defined as the recurring revenue realized in fiscal year 2025 from sales closed in the current and prior fiscal years, that started converting into revenue in fiscal year 2025. The fiscal year 2025 Client Onboarding target was designed to be ambitious and was set significantly above our actual annual onboarding performance recorded since we began tracking this metric in fiscal year 2023. Our achievement of this goal in fiscal year 2025 was 82% of our target; however, for compensation purposes, achievement was 69.7% due to the method of calculating achievement which takes into account a performance range and the slope of the achievement line between the threshold, target, and maximum goals within the performance range. The Compensation Committee determined that the financial goals above are aligned with the Company’s long-term growth and profitability objectives. The Compensation Committee established threshold, target, and maximum performance levels for each financial goal. Each level represents a different performance expectation considering factors such as the Company’s prior year performance and the Company’s operating plan growth goals. BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL GOALS In addition to the corporate financial goals, annual cash incentives for our business segment leaders include business segment financial goals. For Mr. Carey, these business segment financial goals include Compensation Adjusted Fee-Based Revenue, Compensation Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT”), Closed Sales, and Client Onboarding. Determination of annual cash incentives for Mr. Carey is based on achievement of both the corporate financial goals and business segment financial goals. Fee-Based Revenue, EBIT, and Closed Sales are weighted evenly between corporate and business segment goals. Mr. Carey’s achievement for Client Onboarding is based solely on business segment financial goals. In determining the business segment financial goals, the Compensation Committee considers annual and long-term financial goals, operational plans, strategic initiatives, and the prior year’s actual results, to establish performance goals that are challenging yet attainable. For fiscal year 2025, business segment financial goals for GTO were set above the prior year’s achievement level. Achievement levels for Mr. Carey’s business unit metrics for his fiscal year 2025 annual incentive were as follows:

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation The purpose of long-term equity incentive compensation is to align executive officer financial interests with those of stockholders, and to improve our long-term profitability and stability through the attraction and retention of superior talent. Each executive officer has an annual long-term equity incentive target grant denoted in terms of a dollar value, which is typically allocated equally between stock options and PRSUs. The Compensation Committee considers recommendations from the CEO with regard to grants of stock options and PRSUs to executive officers other than himself. The Compensation Committee retains full responsibility for approval of individual grants. The Company maintains an Equity Grant Policy applicable to all awards of equity-based compensation, including stock options, granted by the Company. As part of the policy, all stock option awards granted to executive officers must be approved by the Compensation Committee. In addition, the Compensation Committee has set a predetermined time for the grant of stock options that are a component of an associate’s annual compensation so that they are not made in close proximity to the scheduled disclosure of material non-public information. The policy similarly restricts grants of stock option awards made outside of the annual grant process to a Window Period as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy to ensure the advance release of material non-public information by the Company. Under the policy, stock options are not permitted to be granted within four business days prior to or one business day following the disclosure of material non-public information. The Company does not permit timed disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Details on the annual long-term equity awards for fiscal year 2025 are provided in the table below.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
| Type of Equity | Vesting | | Terms | | | Stock Options | Vest 25% per year on the anniversary date of the grant, subject to continued employment with the Company | | The exercise price equals the Common Stock closing price on the date of the grant (i.e., fair market value) Stock options have a 10-year maximum term The number of stock options is determined by dividing the target value by the option’s binomial value(1)(2) | | | | Year 1 Vest 25% | Year 2 Vest 25% | Year 3 Vest 25% | Year 4 Vest 25% | | PRSUs | Vest on October 1st of the calendar year following achievement of performance goals during the applicable three-year performance period, subject to continued employment with the Company | | The performance criterion is average Compensation Adjusted EPS for three fiscal years. For fiscal year 2025 grants, this is the average Compensation Adjusted EPS for fiscal years 2025 to 2027 The number of shares that can be earned based on performance ranges from 0% to 150% of the total target PRSUs The dollar target is converted into a target number of PRSUs based on the 30-day average prior to grant(2) | | | | 3-Year Performance and Vesting Period | | | |
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
| (1) The binomial value is determined using a binomial option-pricing valuation model under FASB ASC Topic 718 and based on a 30-day average closing price of Common Stock prior to grant. |
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
| (2) The use of an average Common Stock closing price for purposes of converting dollar value targets into shares is intended to reduce the impact of short-term stock price volatility on individual awards, thereby mitigating the risk of a windfall or impairment to the award opportunity. |

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee engages FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant to provide compensation market analysis and insight with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and directors. In addition, FW Cook gives the Compensation Committee advice regarding selection of the Peer Group companies (as defined below), market-competitive compensation, executive compensation trends, guidance on industry best practices and pay for performance alignment, drafting of compensation-related disclosures, and governance and regulatory updates. FW Cook also provides ongoing assistance in the design and structure of the variable incentive plans, including the selection of performance metrics and the setting of performance goals. In addition, at the request of the Compensation Committee, during fiscal year 2025, FW Cook conducted a peer group review of the alignment between the Company’s performance and realizable pay over Broadridge’s most recently completed one- and three-fiscal year periods for the NEOs. The analysis indicated Broadridge’s executive compensation program generally maintains a strong pay for performance orientation and does not indicate material weakness in design or performance goals. The performance factors reviewed as part of this analysis were revenue growth, operating income growth, and return on invested capital. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the independence of FW Cook and, in fiscal year 2025, concluded that FW Cook is independent, and their work has not raised any conflicts of interest. FW Cook reports to the Compensation Committee, does not perform any other services for the Company, and has no economic or other ties to the Company or the management team that could compromise their independence or objectivity.
Peer Group Selection and Market Data
Peer Group Selection and Market Data Broadridge refers to a peer group in establishing executive officer target compensation. The list of companies determined to be Broadridge’s peers for executive officer compensation benchmarking purposes is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. Generally, TDC levels are determined by the Compensation Committee taking into account tenure, performance, scope of responsibilities, competitive market pay, and considerations of internal equity. Peer Group data is considered a primary source of information for the determination of both market practices and market compensation levels for the NEOs. As there is limited data on positions other than the CEO and CFO in the Peer Group data, the Compensation Committee also reviews data from two global survey sources related to general industry and technology companies, size-adjusted for Broadridge’s total revenues, or in the case of the role of Mr. Carey, size-adjusted for the total revenues of the business he manages, when it considers the market competitiveness of NEO compensation levels and/or market practices. The survey providers utilized were Willis Towers Watson and Aon Radford. The Compensation Committee does not review the specific companies included in these surveys.

Insider Trading Policy and Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging
Insider Trading Policy and Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging Our Insider Trading Policy is applicable to all Company executive officers, directors, and employees and clarifies the obligations of Broadridge’s executive officers, directors, and employees with respect to securities law prohibitions against insider trading. The restrictions in the policy apply not only to material non-public information for Company securities but also to material non-public information for any other publicly traded securities, including companies with which Broadridge does business or in which Broadridge invests. The policy also provides that the Company’s executive officers, directors, certain employees or their immediate family members, family trusts or other controlled entities cannot engage in any transaction in Broadridge securities (including purchases, sales, gifts, broker assisted cashless exercises of stock options and the sale of Common Stock acquired pursuant to exercise of stock options, and the adoption, modification or termination of a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement) without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s Chief Legal Officer or Corporate Secretary, or in their absence, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, during a defined Window Period when they are not in possession of material non-public information about the Company. All employees are required to complete annual training on insider trading and our policy. In addition, the policy prohibits the Company’s executive officers, directors, and employees from engaging in short sales and the purchase of any financial instrument, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, put options, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in a transaction that is designed to, or may reasonably be expected to have the effect of, hedging or offsetting any decrease in the market value of Broadridge securities, and also prohibits holding Broadridge securities in a margin account or pledging Broadridge securities as collateral for a loan.
Employment Agreements and Offer Letters
Employment Agreements and Offer Letters Thomas P. Carey. Broadridge has an employment agreement in place with Mr. Carey in accordance with local practice in the UK. This agreement provides for an annual base salary, annual cash incentive on Company and individual performance, equity compensation, and participation in our CIC Plan, Officer Severance Plan, and Company-wide benefit plans. Either party may terminate Mr. Carey’s employment by giving six months written notice, provided that the Company may provide Mr. Carey pay in lieu of notice.
Employment Agreements and Offer Letters

Employment Agreements and Offer Letters
Other NEOs. Each NEO is an “at-will” employee. The Compensation Committee approves all offers to executive officers joining Broadridge. Each offer includes customary elements of our compensation program (salary, annual cash incentive, and long-term equity incentives), as well as one-time, transition compensation components or such other components required by law. These components were designed to attract the executives to Broadridge to deliver take-home compensation in the first year of employment approximating target compensation for the given role within our peer group and to compensate for value forfeited when leaving prior employment. The Compensation Committee and management focus on developing a compelling compensation package that is consistent with our pay for performance philosophy and rewards for creating shareholder value.
Severance Plans
Severance Plans Broadridge has a CIC Plan and a separate Officer Severance Plan covering all executive officers, which includes all NEOs. These plans were established to enhance recruitment and retention of executive officers who are key to our long-term success without the necessity of having separate employment agreements. In addition, the CIC Plan protects and enhances shareholder value by encouraging executive officers to evaluate potential transactions with independence and objectivity and ensuring continuity of management prior to and after a transaction. In the event that an executive officer is due benefits or payments under both the Officer Severance Plan and the CIC Plan, the executive officer would be eligible to receive the greater of the benefits and payments and the more favorable terms and conditions determined on an item-by-item basis. See “Potential Payments upon a Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 66 of this Proxy Statement for further information regarding the CIC Plan and the Officer Severance Plan.

Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits The following table sets forth for each NEO certain information with respect to the SORP, which provides for pension benefits in connection with retirement. Ms. Ghei, Mr. Perry, Mr. Carey, and Ms. Jarkowski are not eligible to participate in this plan.
Pension Benefits
| Name | Number of Years of Credited Service(1) | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit(2) ($) | Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($) | | Timothy C. Gokey | 14 | $8,289,875 | — | | Ashima Ghei | — | — | — | | Christopher J. Perry | — | — | — | | Thomas P. Carey | — | — | — | | Hope M. Jarkowski | — | — | — |
Pension Benefits
| (1) SORP-credited service is defined as complete calendar years. For actuarial valuation purposes, credited service is attributed through the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards measurement date. |
Pension Benefits
| (2) Service credit and actuarial values are calculated as of June 30, 2025, the pension plan’s measurement date for the last fiscal year. Actuarial values are based on the Society of Actuaries (“SOA”) PRI-2012 retiree white-collar mortality tables, with generational mortality improvement projection scale MP-2021. The method of valuation to determine the liabilities presented includes discounting the value of the respective benefits, based on service accrued through the measurement date and payable at age 65, for interest and mortality with mortality not applicable prior to the commencement of benefits. |
Pension Benefits
| 2025 Proxy Statement Broadridge | 63 |
Pension Benefits
The SORP is available to executive officers of the Company hired prior to January 1, 2014. Benefits under the SORP are not subject to any maximum benefit limitations under the Code. Although benefits under the SORP are generally payable out of the general assets of the Company, the Company has established a “rabbi trust,” which is intended to provide a source of funds to be contributed by the Company to assist the Company in meeting its liabilities under the SORP. The SORP provides for a lifetime annuity retirement benefit payable annually at age 65 equal to the product of: (a) a participant’s final five-year average cash compensation; (b) a multiplier which equals two percent for every year of credited service up to 20 years, plus an additional one percent for every year of service in excess of 20 years; and (c) the applicable vesting percentage, which for Mr. Gokey is 100%. Compensation used for calculation under the SORP includes base salary and annual cash incentive award (paid or deferred) and is not subject to the limitations under the Code. Equity compensation is not included in the calculation of the SORP benefit. Payments are also available in other forms of actuarial equivalent annuities. Reduced benefits are available after age 60 using an early retirement reduction of five percent for each year the benefit commences earlier than age 65. If a participant with a vested benefit terminates employment with the Company prior to reaching age 60, payment of the benefit is delayed until the participant reaches age 60. Mr. Gokey is currently eligible for early retirement under the SORP. In addition, the SORP provides: (i) a disability retirement benefit, generally calculated in the same manner as the retirement benefit, if a participant incurs a “disability” while employed by the Company; and (ii) if a participant dies, their designated beneficiary is entitled to receive a benefit equal to 100% of the value of the benefit the participant would have been entitled to receive at death, provided the participant is at least 35 years old at the time of death and the applicable vested percentage is greater than zero.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The ERSP is a defined contribution restoration plan that mirrors the Company’s qualified 401(k) Plan. The purpose of the ERSP is to provide specified deferred compensation benefits to a select group of U.S.-based management or highly compensated employees. The ERSP allows for voluntary participant deferrals of base salary and/or bonus (as defined in the ERSP) and employer contributions above the Code’s qualified defined contribution compensation and deferral limitations. Participants in the SORP are eligible to defer their cash compensation under the ERSP but are not eligible for additional benefits such as Company contributions under the ERSP. Company contributions vest 50% after two years of service and 100% after three years of service. Participants may designate one or more investments from among 23 externally managed mutual funds selected by the plan administrator and available for investment in participants’ accounts under the ERSP to serve as a notional basis for calculating earnings accruals on employee and Company contributions to the ERSP. The Company provides two types of contributions for eligible employees, as described below. In addition, the Company provides an additional Company contribution to certain executives who are not participants in the SORP (Ms. Ghei, Mr. Perry, and Ms. Jarkowski in fiscal year 2025). Eligible employees generally must be employed on December 31st to receive the employer contributions for that plan year.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
| | Restoration basic contribution: The Company provides a restoration basic contribution which varies from 1% to 6.25% of eligible salary and cash incentive compensation above the Code’s compensation limit based on the number of years of the eligible employee’s service. Eligible employees are not required to contribute to the ERSP in order to receive the restoration basic contribution. |
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
| | Restoration matching contribution: Participants who contribute the maximum contribution to the 401(k) Plan are eligible to receive a restoration matching contribution equal to $0.70 or $0.80 for every dollar deferred under the ERSP, up to 6% of eligible pay above the Code’s compensation limit based on the number of months of participation under the 401(k) Plan. |
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
| | Additional Company contribution: Certain executives who are not participants in the SORP are eligible to receive an additional Company contribution of 3% of their base salary and cash incentive amounts. |
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Participants may elect to enroll in the ERSP each calendar year but once their deferral elections are made they are irrevocable for the covered year. Participants elect to receive distributions (either as a lump sum or in annual installments) of their deferrals plus any subsequent interest or investment gains upon their retirement, or on a fixed future date at least three years in the future. Certain participants will be subject to a six-month delay prior to their receipt of these distributions. ERSP participants who terminate employment with the Company prior to their elected fixed distribution date receive a lump sum distribution of all deferred amounts by six months after the termination date.

Potential Payments upon a Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon a Termination or Change in Control The Company does not have any employment agreements with its NEOs that require severance payments upon termination of their employment. The Company maintains the CIC Plan and Officer Severance Plan under which the NEOs may be eligible for severance payments upon termination of their employment. The following tables and footnotes quantify the treatment of compensation and value of benefits that each NEO would receive under the Company’s compensation program upon various scenarios for termination of employment. The tables include the amounts that the NEO would receive as of June 30, 2025 under the SORP and the Executive Retiree Health Insurance Plan upon retirement, which amounts would be payable on termination of employment. Compensation amounts deferred under the ERSP have been earned and therefore are retained by the NEO upon termination. Amounts deferred under the ERSP are not included in the following tables because they are reported in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table on page 65 of this Proxy Statement.
Potential Payments upon Involuntary Termination without Cause

Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios
Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios The following table sets forth the payments which each of our NEOs would have received under various other termination scenarios under arrangements in effect on June 30, 2025. Capitalized terms used herein are defined as set forth in the applicable plan documents. All equity grants are governed by equity agreements, which provide for accelerated or continued vesting of outstanding awards for other termination of employment scenarios. In the case of Death or Permanent Disability, all unvested stock options and time-based RSUs vest in full and unvested PRSUs vest at target if termination occurs prior to the end of the performance period and based on actual performance if termination occurs after the end of the performance period and prior to the vesting date. In the case of a Voluntary Termination or Involuntary Termination with Cause, all unvested equity is forfeited. In the case of Retirement, outstanding awards would continue to vest for a period of time on the original vesting dates. For this purpose, “retirement” is defined as termination of employment for any reason other than “cause” for employees age 65 and over, and involuntary termination of employment without “cause” for employees age 60 and over. Time-based RSUs will vest on a prorated basis on the original vesting date. Stock options continue to vest and are exercisable for a period of 36 months following a retirement. In the case of PRSUs, if retirement occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the award will vest on the original vesting date based on actual performance pro-rated for the period worked during the performance period, and if retirement occurs after the end of the performance period, the award will vest in full on the original vesting date based on actual performance during the performance period.

CEO Pay Ratio In accordance with SEC rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee and the annual total compensation of our CEO. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions and, as a result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.
Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios
| | The fiscal year 2025 annual total compensation of Mr. Gokey was $17,212,066, which was determined by adding the Company’s cost of benefits for Mr. Gokey to the “Total” compensation shown for our CEO in the “Summary Compensation” table on page 59 of this Proxy Statement. |
Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios
| | The fiscal year 2025 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $79,503 including the Company’s cost of benefits for the median employee. |
Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios
| | Accordingly, the ratio of Mr. Gokey’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee for fiscal year 2025 was approximately 216 to 1. |
Payments upon Other Termination of Employment Scenarios
The pay ratio was calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and is based upon our reasonable judgment and assumptions.
Calculating the CEO Pay Ratio
Calculating the CEO Pay Ratio To calculate the 2025 CEO pay ratio, we used the same median compensated employee that we used for purposes of calculating the CEO pay ratio for 2023 and 2024, as there have been no changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact the CEO pay ratio. However, the median employee we identified in 2023 was on a leave of absence from the Company for a significant portion of fiscal year 2025. As permitted under SEC rules, we selected a new employee whose compensation was substantially similar to the original median employee based on the same compensation measures used to select the original median employee.
Calculating the Pay Ratio
Calculating the Pay Ratio After identifying the median compensated employee, we calculated the annual total compensation for this employee and Mr. Gokey in the same manner as the “Total” compensation shown for our CEO in the “Summary Compensation” table on page 59 of this Proxy Statement and included the Company’s cost of benefits for each one because both participated in the benefit plans in fiscal year 2025.

The Audit Committee believes that the continued retention of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accountants is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders, and we are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Stockholder ratification is not required by the By-laws or otherwise, but as a matter of good corporate governance practice, the Board has decided to ascertain the position of our stockholders on the appointment at the Annual Meeting. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee may reconsider whether to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accountants at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, with an opportunity to make a statement should they choose to do so, and to be available to respond to questions. Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the firm’s independence from the Company is not compromised. Under the Company’s policy, management submits for Audit Committee approval, on an annual basis, a list of services expected to be rendered during the upcoming year within each of the following categories of services: audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and all other services. This includes a review of specific services to be performed, fees expected to be incurred within each category of service, and the potential impact of such services on the firm’s independence. During the year, it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires separate pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm. To facilitate the process, the Audit Committee may also delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. As such, the Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair, who must report all pre-approval decisions to the full Audit Committee.
