EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following registration statements (the “Registration Statements”): (1) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-146565) filed by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 9, 2007 pertaining to the registration of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“common stock”), issuable under the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Plan”); (2) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-110395) filed by the Company with the Commission on November 12, 2003 pertaining to the registration of 10,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Plan; (3) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-90540) filed by the Company with the Commission on June 14, 2002 pertaining to the registration of 30,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Savings Plan for Former Employees of Vincam Human Resources, Inc., which savings plan was merged with the Plan effective as of December 31, 2002; (4) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-75468) filed by the Company with the Commission on December 19, 2001 pertaining to the registration of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Plan; and (5) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 033-56463) filed by the Company with the Commission on November 14, 1994 pertaining to the registration of 1,800,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Plan (the “1994 Registration Statement”).
On May 26, 2015, the Plan was amended to terminate the employee stock ownership plan as a feature of the Plan. Pursuant to the undertaking in Item 9 of the Registration Statements, the Company, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, hereby terminates the Registration Statements and removes from registration all of the shares of common stock registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statements which remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
The Company effected a 2-for-1 split of the Company’s common stock on January 1, 1996 and January 1, 1999. As a result of these stock splits, every share of the Company’s pre-split common stock originally registered on the 1994 Registration Statement was converted into shares of post-split common stock.
