The NACC business has over 2,300 associates and four production facilities located in El Dorado Hills, CA, South Windsor, CT, Kansas City, MO, and Markham, Ontario, Canada. The NACC business has pioneered innovations to drive operational excellence including best of breed technology to onboard clients and deliver accurate and timely communications to their customers. Its clients include many Fortune 500 companies, primarily in financial services and also in healthcare, telecommunications and utilities. In their fiscal year 2015, the NACC business generated $1.1 billion of total revenue, and $445 million of fee revenue. Senior management, led by Mike Abbaei, Head of DST’s Customer Communications business, will be joining Broadridge as part of this transaction. Upon closing, the NACC business will become part of Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions business, creating North America’s premier customer communications technology platform.

This acquisition is consistent with our strategy and adds to our bottom line immediately.  It also positions us to be a communications leader across a number of market verticals and a provider of a unique suite of multi-channel communications solutions, empowering Broadridge to accelerate the industry’s conversion to digital communications and meet the diverse preferences of our clients’ customers.” Mike Abbaei, Head of DST’s Customer Communications, stated “The management team and I are delighted to join Broadridge, a trusted industry leader in providing critical customer communications.  The combined entity will create the industry’s largest distributor of critical client content across North America. We share the same focus on client service and are excited by the differentiated solutions across all channels that this acquisition enables. The integration of these capabilities will align our clients to benefit from the industry’s best technologies, quality and footprint. It also strategically positions our clients to benefit from the evolution of consumer preferences.” Douglas R. DeSchutter, President, Digital Communications, Broadridge, said “This acquisition establishes a best-in-class, integrated technology platform positioned to successfully leverage a rapidly growing digital opportunity. The consumer reach of the combined business exceeds 75% of North America’s mailboxes and will allow Broadridge to greatly expand its role in digitizing critical investor and consumer content and to make every communication more valuable.” The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in July 2016.
