ADP Completes Spin-off of Brokerage Services Group Business.

ROSELAND, N.J. -- Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP) announced today that it has completed the spin-off of its Brokerage Services Group by distribution of a special tax-free dividend to its shareholders consisting of approximately 138.5 million shares of common stock of Broadridge Financial
