IBM Migration Costs

In March 2010, Broadridge entered into an Information Technology Services Agreement with International Business Machines ("IBM") under which IBM provides us with certain aspects of our information technology infrastructure. Our fiscal year 2012 Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the costs the Company incurred in connection with the migration of our data center to IBM (the "Migration"). The Migration costs are recorded in our Other segment and Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The more significant mainframe Migration was successfully completed at the end of our 2012 fiscal year resulting in a pre-tax charge of $25 million.
