How We Know Opportunity Exists at ADP

NEW YORK--()--Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”) today announced that it will host a live webcast for all ADP shareholders on Tuesday, October 10, 2017, at 7:00 PM EDT at www.ADPascending.com.

Pershing Square previously hosted an in-depth webcast on August 17, 2017 primarily for institutional investors who were interested in understanding the detailed research and analysis that Pershing Square conducted prior to investing in ADP. That webcast and an executive summary can be found here: https://adpascending.com/presentations/.

The October 10th webcast will be held in the evening to give all shareholders – particularly retail shareholders and other individual investors – a chance to understand the significant opportunity for improvement at ADP.

We’re always delighted to have in-depth discussions with interested ADP shareholders,” said Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman. “The investment case is simple: ADP has a significant opportunity for margin expansion and accelerated earnings growth. We know the opportunity exists because ADP’s competitors have significantly higher margins than ADP, and two businesses previously owned by ADP achieved very substantial margin expansion once they were freed from ADP’s ownership and control. ADP deserves better than today’s status quo.”

I look forward to taking questions from shareholders on October 10th and discussing how ADP can do much better,” Bill continued. “ADP can become a stronger, more competitive company for decades to come, and we’re asking investors to assist us in adding a few fresh perspectives to the Board to help oversee the company’s transformation.”

On the October 10th webcast, Bill will discuss how shareholders, by voting the GOLD Card, can support The Nominees for ADP’s Transformation in helping ADP eliminate waste, accelerate earnings growth and increase dividends. Bill will answer questions from shareholders who own one or more shares of ADP.

Pershing Square also announced today that it released the second in a series of videos for shareholders that sheds light on the opportunity for improvement at ADP. The video can be viewed at: www.ADPascending.com and on ADPascending’s FacebookTwitter and YouTube pages.
