Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (the “Company”) as an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2017 to announce the preliminary results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 7, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). This Amendment is being filed to disclose the final voting results received from IVS Associates, Inc. (“IVS”), the independent inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. 

On November 24, 2017, IVS delivered its final vote tabulation that certified the final voting results for each of the matters set forth below that were submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Present at the meeting there were, either in person or by proxy, holders of 328,251,645 shares of common stock.

The final tabulation from IVS of voting results for the election of directors and other proposals is set forth below. 

 

 

 

 

The total number of broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 1 was 3,730,683.

Based on the results, the directors elected at the meeting were: Peter Bisson, Richard T. Clark, Eric C. Fast, Linda R. Gooden, Michael P. Gregoire, R. Glenn Hubbard, John P. Jones, William J. Ready, Carlos A. Rodriguez, and Sandra S. Wijnberg.

The proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, executive compensation of our Named Executive Officers was approved based upon the following vote:

 

The advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation received the following vote, with the “one year” frequency receiving the highest number of votes:

 

The Company has considered the advisory vote on the Say When on Pay proposal, and determined that it will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next Say When on Pay vote, which will occur no later than the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2023.

 

 

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year that began on July 1, 2017 was approved based on the following vote:

 

 

The proposal to repeal all provisions of, or amendments to, the amended and restated by-laws of the Company adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company without stockholder approval after August 2, 2016 and up to and including the date of the Annual Meeting was approved based on the following vote:

 

However, no provisions or amendments to the Company’s by-laws have been adopted subsequent to August 2, 2016. As a result, the approval of the proposal has no effect, and the Company’s by-laws remain unchanged.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
