Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), which was officially spun off from Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP) on March 30th, has announced that Wienerberger AG, Vienna, is the latest member of its International Shareholder Communications Programme.
Wienerberger was founded in 1819 in Vienna and has traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1869. Since 1986 it has transformed from a local Austrian brick-maker to become the world’s largest producer of bricks and a leading supplier of clay roof tiles & paving in Europe.
As with many growth-oriented corporations Wienerberger is constantly striving to increase its level of corporate governance and shareholder participation at its general meetings. Broadridge’s International Shareholder Communications Programme has been selected by Wienerberger to service its 2007 Annual General Meeting. The Programme will facilitate the vote collection process, accurately and electronically.
