Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts or where otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto of Automatic Data Processing, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“ADP” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial results.

The Company has a grantor trust, which holds the majority of the funds provided by its clients pending remittance to employees of those clients, tax authorities, and other payees.  The Company is the sole beneficial owner of the trust.  The trust meets the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” to be characterized as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).  The Company has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in the trust because it has both (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the trust (including the power to make all investment decisions for the trust) and (2) the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the trust (in the form of investment returns) and, therefore, consolidates the trust.  Further information on these funds and the Company’s obligations to remit to its clients’ employees, tax authorities, and other payees is provided in Note 6, “Corporate Investments and Funds Held for Clients.” 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and accumulated other comprehensive income that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). Certain amounts from the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

Note 3.  Revenue

Based upon similar operational and economic characteristics, the Company’s revenues are disaggregated by its three strategic pillars: Human Capital Management (“HCM”), HR Outsourcing (“HRO”), and Global (“Global”) Solutions, with separate disaggregation for PEO zero-margin benefits pass-through revenues and client funds interest revenues. The Company believes these revenue categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The following tables provide details of revenue by our strategic pillars, and include a reconciliation to the Company’s reportable segments:

Total Segment Revenues$2,571.5 $1,264.1 $(3.3)$3,832.3 



Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition for HCM, HRO and Global Solutions is consistent with the invoicing of clients, as invoicing occurs in the period the services are provided. Therefore, the Company does not recognize a contract asset or liability resulting from the timing of revenue recognition and invoicing.

Changes in short-term deferred revenues related to set up fees for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows:
Contract Liability
Contract liability, July 1, 2022$468.2 
Recognition of revenue included in beginning of year contract liability(35.6)
Contract liability, net of revenue recognized on contracts during the period29.9

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's fair value methodologies, including the use of an independent third-party pricing service, see Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. The Company concurred with and did not adjust the prices obtained from the independent pricing service. The Company had no available-for-sale securities included in Level 1 or Level 3 at September 30, 2022.

The unrealized losses and fair values of available-for-sale securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than and greater than 12 months as of September 30, 2022, are as follows:

Restricted long-term marketable securities held to satisfy client funds obligations25,240.6 23,959.4 
Total funds held for clients$32,937.9 $49,569.2 

Client funds obligations represent the Company's contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy clients' payroll, tax, and other payee payment obligations and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time that the Company impounds funds from clients. The client funds obligations represent liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the balance sheet date. The Company has reported client funds obligations as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets totaling $35,471.7 million and $51,285.5 million at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company has classified funds held for clients as a current asset since these funds are held solely for the purpose of satisfying the client funds obligations. Of the Company’s funds held for clients at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, $30,130.7 million and $46,201.2 million, respectively, are held in the grantor trust. The liabilities held within the trust are intercompany liabilities to other Company subsidiaries and are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 7.  Leases

The Company records leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, records the current portion of operating lease liabilities within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and, separately, records long-term operating lease liabilities. The difference between total ROU assets and total lease liabilities is primarily attributable to pre-payments of our obligations and the recognition of various lease incentives.

The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for facilities and equipment. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately ten years.

The components of operating lease expense were as follows:

Note 9. Short-term Financing

The Company has a $3.75 billion, 364-day credit agreement that matures in June 2023 with a one year term-out option. The interest rate applicable to committed borrowings under each agreement is tied to SOFR, the effective funds rate, or the prime rate depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing. The Company also has a $2.75 billion five year credit facility that matures in June 2024 that contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. In addition, the Company has a five year $3.2 billion credit facility maturing in June 2026 that also contains an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The interest rate applicable to committed borrowings is tied to LIBOR, the effective federal funds rate, or the prime rate, depending on the notification provided by the Company to the syndicated financial institutions prior to borrowing. The Company is also required to pay facility fees on the credit agreements. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. The Company had no borrowings through September 30, 2022 under the credit agreements.

The Company's U.S. short-term funding requirements primarily related to client funds are sometimes obtained on an unsecured basis through the issuance of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. This commercial paper program provides for the issuance of up to $9.7 billion in aggregate maturity value. The Company’s commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s, Prime-1 (“P-1”) by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had no commercial paper borrowing outstanding. Details of the borrowings under the commercial paper program are as follows:

The Company’s U.S., Canadian and United Kingdom short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $167.6 million and $136.4 million, respectively, of outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements. Details of the reverse repurchase agreements are as follows:

Note 10. Debt

The Company issued three series of fixed-rate notes with staggered maturities of 7 and 10-years totaling $3.0 billion (collectively the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and interest is payable in arrears, semi-annually.

The principal amounts and associated effective interest rates of the Notes and other debt as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, are as follows:

(a) - Current portion of long-term debt as of September 30, 2022 is included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The effective interest rates for the Notes include the interest on the Notes and amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs.

As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Notes, based on Level 2 inputs, was $2,594.9 million. For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company's fair value methodologies, including the use of an independent third-party pricing service, see Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022.

Note 11. Employee Benefit Plans

A.  Stock-based Compensation Plans. Stock-based compensation consists of the following:

The Company's share-based compensation consists of stock options, time-based restricted stock, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units. The Company also offers an employee stock purchase plan for eligible employees. Beginning in September 2022, the Company discontinued granting stock options, time-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. Any such future awards will be grants of time-based restricted stock units and/or performance-based restricted stock units, depending on employee eligibility. Time-based restricted stock unit awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees with a home country of the United States are settled in stock, and for awards granted to employees with a home country outside the United States are generally settled in cash.


Restricted Stock.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. Time-based restricted stock units generally vest ratably over 3 years. Awards are generally forfeited if the employee ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting.

Time-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees with a home country of the United States are settled in stock and cannot be transferred during the vesting period. Time-based restricted stock unit awards granted to employees with a home country outside the United States are generally settled in cash and cannot be transferred during the vesting period. Compensation expense relating to the issuance of share-settled units is measured based on the fair value of the award on the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense relating to the issuance of cash-settled units is recorded over the vesting period and is initially based on the fair value of the award on the grant date and is subsequently
16


remeasured at each reporting date during the vesting period based on the change in the ADP stock price. Dividend cash equivalents are paid on share-settled units, and dividend cash equivalents are not paid on cash-settled units.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Performance-based restricted stock units generally vest over a one to three year performance period and a subsequent service period of up to 38 months. Under these programs, the Company communicates “target awards” at the beginning of the performance period with possible payouts at the end of the performance period ranging from 0% to 200% of the “target awards.” Awards are generally forfeited if the employee ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting.

Performance-based restricted stock units cannot be transferred and are settled in either cash or stock, depending on the employee's home country. Compensation expense relating to the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units settled in cash is recognized over the vesting period initially based on the fair value of the award on the grant date with subsequent adjustments to the number of units awarded during the performance period based on probable and actual performance against targets. In addition, compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting period during the vesting period based on the change in the ADP stock price. Compensation expense relating to the issuance of performance-based restricted stock units settled in stock is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the grant date with subsequent adjustments to the number of units awarded based on the probable and actual performance against targets. Dividend equivalents are paid on awards under the performance-based restricted stock unit program.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company offers an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 95% of the market value for the Company's common stock on the last day of the offering period. This plan has been deemed non-compensatory and, therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded.

The Company currently utilizes treasury stock to satisfy stock option exercises, issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, and restricted stock awards. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program. The Company repurchased 1.4 million and 2.6 million shares in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

The following table represents pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the three and three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

Note 12. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 22.9% and 22.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower reserves for uncertain tax positions and a valuation allowance release in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

In May 2020, two potential class action complaints were filed against ADP, TotalSource and related defendants in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaints assert violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) in connection with the ADP TotalSource Retirement Savings Plan’s fiduciary administrative and investment decision-making. The complaints seek statutory and other unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees. These claims are still in their early stages and the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

The Company is subject to various claims, litigation, and regulatory compliance matters in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. Management currently believes that the resolution of these claims, litigation and regulatory compliance matters against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.

It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s services and products. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.

Note 16. Interim Financial Data by Segment

Based upon similar economic and operational characteristics, the Company’s strategic business units have been aggregated into the following two reportable segments: Employer Services and PEO Services. The primary components of the “Other” segment are certain corporate overhead charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, including corporate functions, costs related to our transformation office, severance costs, non-recurring gains and losses, the elimination of intercompany transactions, and interest expense. Certain revenues and expenses are charged to the reportable segments at a standard rate for management reasons. Other costs are recorded based on management responsibility.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document and other written or oral statements made from time to time by Automatic Data Processing, Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“ADP” or the “Company”) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature and which may be identified by the use of words like “expects,” “assumes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “we believe,” “could”, "is designed to" and other words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s expectations and assumptions and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements or that could contribute to such difference include: ADP's success in obtaining and retaining clients, and selling additional services to clients; the pricing of products and services; the success of our new solutions; compliance with existing or new legislation or regulations; changes in, or interpretations of, existing legislation or regulations; overall market, political and economic conditions, including interest rate and foreign currency trends and inflation; competitive conditions; our ability to maintain our current credit ratings and the impact on our funding costs and profitability; security or cyber breaches, fraudulent acts, and system interruptions and failures; employment and wage levels; changes in technology; availability of skilled technical associates; the impact of new acquisitions and divestitures; the adequacy, effectiveness and success of our business transformation initiatives; and the impact of any uncertainties related to major natural disasters or catastrophic events, including the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic; and supply-chain disruptions. ADP disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. These risks and uncertainties, along with the risk factors discussed under “Item 1A. - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), and in other written or oral statements made from time to time by ADP, should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we use adjusted results and other non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted effective tax rate and organic constant currency are all non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the accompanying financial tables in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a discussion of why ADP believes these measures are important and for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures.

We are a leading global provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) technology solutions to employers around the world. The business environment for our clients has evolved continuously since our founding. Our HCM solutions, which include both software and outsourcing services, are designed to help our clients manage their workforces through this dynamic landscape and the changing world of work. We are continuously seeking to enhance our leading HCM solutions to further support our clients.

During the first quarter, we continued our roll-out of a new unified user experience ("UX") across our strategic products and solutions, which we believe will position our clients to benefit from a more intuitive design and set of HCM workflows. This quarter we continued with the roll-out of the new UX to Workforce Now, one of our most critical platforms. We also re-launched the ADP RUN mobile app, which is designed for HR practitioners running payroll and HR for our U.S. small business clients. In addition, this quarter we won Top HR Product for the 8th year in a row at the annual HR Tech conference, recognized for our new Intelligent Self-Service offering. This award highlights our track record of continuously innovating solutions that enhance the HCM experience of our clients and their workers, and we believe our Intelligent Self-Service further eliminates work for our clients by preventing, solving, and/or better tracking HR matters with their workers.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we delivered solid revenue growth of 10%, 11% organic constant currency. Our pays per control metric, which represents the number of employees on ADP clients' payrolls in the United States when measured on a same-store-sales basis for a subset of clients ranging from small to large businesses, grew 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. PEO average worksite employees increased 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

We have a strong business model, generating significant cash flows with low capital intensity, and offer a suite of products that provide critical support to our clients’ HCM functions. We generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our cash dividend and our modest debt obligations, which enables us to absorb the impact of downturns and remain steadfast in our re-investments, longer term strategy, and commitments to shareholder friendly actions. We are committed to building upon our past successes by investing in our business through enhancements in research and development and by driving meaningful transformation in the way we operate. Our financial condition remains solid at September 30, 2022 and we remain well positioned to support our associates and our clients.

20222021
Total Revenues4,215.6 3,832.3 
  YoY Growth10 %10 %
  YoY Growth, Organic Constant Currency11 %10 %


Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased due to strong client retention, new business started from New Business Bookings in prior quarters, an increase in zero-margin benefits pass-throughs, and an increase in our pays per control, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of one percentage point from foreign currency.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 include interest on funds held for clients of $141.0 million, as compared to $101.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the interest earned on funds held for clients resulted from an increase in our average client funds balances of 9.5% to $29.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and an increase in our average interest rate earned to 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 1.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Additionally, operating expenses increased due to increased costs to service our client base in support of our growing revenue.

Systems development and programming costs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased investments and costs to develop, support, and maintain our new and existing products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased selling expenses as a result of investments in our sales organization, increased travel expenses, and increased marketing expenses.

25


Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increased interest rates on commercial paper issuances coupled with a higher volume of average commercial paper borrowings, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 22.9% and 22.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to lower reserves for uncertain tax positions and a valuation allowance release in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes

The adjusted effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 22.9% and 22.2%, respectively. The drivers of the adjusted effective tax rate are the same as the drivers of the effective tax rate discussed above.

Net Earnings and Diluted EPS, Unadjusted and Adjusted

For the three months ended September 30:

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net earnings reflect the changes described above in our earnings before income taxes and our effective tax rate.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, diluted EPS increased as a result of the impact of fewer shares outstanding resulting from the repurchase of approximately 1.4 million shares during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2.6 million shares during the three months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by the issuances of shares under our employee benefit plans.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS reflect the changes in the components described above.

Employer Services

Revenues

Revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to strong retention and new business started from New Business Bookings in prior quarters, an increase in our pays per control of 6%, and an increase in interest earned on funds held for clients, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of two percentage points from foreign currency.

Earnings before Income Taxes

Employer Services' earnings before income taxes increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased revenues discussed above, partially offset by increases in expenses. The increases in expenses were due to increased costs to service our client base in support of our growing revenue, increases in selling expenses, and continued investments and costs to develop, support, and maintain our new and existing products.

Margin

Employer Services' margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increases in revenues discussed above, and operating efficiencies for costs of servicing our clients on growing revenue, partially offset by increased selling expenses.

PEO Services' revenue increased 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to increases in average worksite employees of 12%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, and due to an increase in zero-margin benefits pass-throughs.

Earnings before Income Taxes

PEO Services' earnings before income taxes increased 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increased revenues discussed above and a favorable impact from operating efficiencies, partially offset by increased selling expense and an increase in zero-margin benefits pass-through costs of $106.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Margin

PEO Services' margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increase in revenues discussed above, a favorable impact of zero-margin benefits pass-throughs and operating efficiencies, partially offset by increases in selling expenses.

ADP Indemnity provides workers’ compensation and employer’s liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services’ worksite employees up to $1 million per occurrence. PEO Services has secured a workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy that caps the exposure for each claim at $1 million per occurrence and has also secured aggregate stop loss insurance that caps aggregate losses at a certain level in fiscal years 2012 and prior from an admitted and licensed insurance company of AIG. We utilize historical loss experience and actuarial judgment to determine the estimated claim liability, and changes in estimated ultimate incurred losses are included in the PEO segment. 

Additionally, starting in fiscal year 2013, ADP Indemnity paid premiums to enter into reinsurance arrangements with ACE American Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb Limited (“Chubb”), to cover substantially all losses incurred by the Company up to the $1 million per occurrence related to the workers' compensation and employer's liability deductible reimbursement insurance protection for PEO Services' worksite employees. Each of these reinsurance arrangements limits our overall exposure incurred up to a certain limit. The Company believes the likelihood of ultimate losses exceeding this limit is remote. ADP Indemnity recorded a pre-tax benefit of approximately $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily a result of changes in our estimated actuarial losses. In July 2022, ADP Indemnity paid a premium of $284 million to enter into a reinsurance arrangement with Chubb Limited to cover substantially all losses incurred by ADP Indemnity for the fiscal 2023 policy year on terms substantially similar to the fiscal 2022 reinsurance policy.

Other

The primary components of “Other” are certain corporate overhead charges and expenses that have not been allocated to the reportable segments, including corporate functions, costs related to our transformation office, severance costs, non-recurring gains and losses, the elimination of intercompany transactions, and other interest income and expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we use the adjusted results and other non-GAAP metrics set forth in the table below to evaluate our operating performance in the absence of certain items and for planning and forecasting of future periods:
Adjusted Financial MeasureU.S. GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITNet earnings
Adjusted provision for income taxes Provision for income taxes
Adjusted net earnings Net earnings
Adjusted diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share
Adjusted effective tax rate Effective tax rate
Organic constant currencyRevenues

We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations and against prior period, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance.  The nature of these exclusions is for specific items that are not fundamental to our underlying business operations.  Since these adjusted financial measures and other non-GAAP metrics are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to their corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies.

The following table reconciles our reported growth rates to the non-GAAP measure of organic constant currency, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, the impact of dispositions, and the impact of foreign currency. The impact of acquisitions and dispositions is calculated by excluding the current year revenues of acquisitions until the one-year anniversary of the transaction and by excluding the prior year revenues of divestitures for the one-year period preceding the transaction. The impact of foreign currency is determined by calculating the current year result using foreign exchange rates consistent with the prior year. The PEO segment is not impacted by acquisitions, dispositions or foreign currency.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion, which were primarily invested in time deposits and money market funds.

For corporate liquidity, we expect existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, cash flow from operations together with our $9.7 billion of committed credit facilities and our ability to access both long-term and short-term debt financing from the capital markets will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing activities such as regular quarterly dividends, share repurchases, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Our financial condition remains solid at September 30, 2022 and we have sufficient liquidity.

For client funds liquidity, we have the ability to borrow through our financing arrangements under our U.S. short-term commercial paper program and our U.S., Canadian and United Kingdom short-term reverse repurchase agreements, together with our $9.7 billion of committed credit facilities and our ability to use corporate liquidity when necessary to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Please see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for a further discussion of the risks related to our client funds extended investment strategy. See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our short-term financing including commercial paper.

Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are summarized as follows:
Three Months Ended
September 30,
20222021$ Change

Net change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents$(17,207.0)$10,049.1 $(27,256.1)

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased due to a net favorable change in the components of operating assets and liabilities, primarily due to timing on collections of accounts receivable and a decrease in incentive compensation payments, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Net cash flows used in investing activities changed due to the timing of purchases and proceeds of corporate and client funds marketable securities of $312.4 million.

Net cash flows used in financing activities changed due to a net decrease in the cash flow from client funds obligations of $27,692.6 million, which is due to the timing of impounds from our clients and payments to our clients' employees and other payees, and an increase in dividends paid. These were partially offset by a decrease in repurchases of common stock in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We purchased approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $230.13 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to purchases of 2.6 million shares at an average price per share of $205.66 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. From time to time, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program. The Company considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, actual and potential acquisition activity, cash balances and cash flows, issuances due to employee benefit plan activity, and market conditions.

Capital Resources and Client Funds Obligations

We have $3.0 billion of senior unsecured notes with maturity dates in 2025, 2028 and 2030. We may from time to time revisit the long-term debt market to refinance existing debt, finance investments including acquisitions for our growth, and maintain the appropriate capital structure. However, there can be no assurance that volatility in the global capital and credit markets would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all. See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our long-term financing.

Our U.S. short-term funding requirements primarily related to client funds are sometimes obtained on an unsecured basis through the issuance of commercial paper, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. This commercial paper program provides for the issuance of up to $9.7 billion in aggregate maturity value. Our commercial paper program is rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s, Prime-1 (“P-1”) by Moody’s and F1+ by Fitch. These ratings denote the highest quality commercial paper securities. Maturities of commercial paper can range from overnight to up to 364 days. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had no commercial paper borrowing outstanding. Details of the borrowings under the commercial paper program are as follows:

Our U.S., Canadian, and United Kingdom short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations are sometimes obtained on a secured basis through the use of reverse repurchase agreements, which are collateralized principally by government and government agency securities, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. These agreements generally have terms ranging from overnight to up to five business days. We have successfully borrowed through the use of reverse repurchase agreements on an as-needed basis to meet short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $167.6 million and $136.4 million, respectively, of outstanding obligations related to reverse repurchase agreements. Details of the reverse repurchase agreements are as follows:

Average outstanding balances$1,119.4 $195.1 
Weighted average interest rates2.4 %0.2 %

We vary the maturities of our committed credit facilities to limit the refinancing risk of any one facility. We have a $3.75 billion, 364-day credit agreement that matures in June 2023 with a one year term-out option. In addition, we have a five-year $2.75 billion credit facility and a five-year $3.2 billion credit facility maturing in June 2024 and June 2026, respectively, each with an accordion feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million, subject to the availability of additional commitments. The primary uses of the credit facilities are to provide liquidity to the commercial paper program and funding for general corporate purposes, if necessary. We had no borrowings through September 30, 2022 under the credit facilities. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreements to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the $9.7 billion available to us under the revolving credit agreements. See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our short-term financing including credit facilities.

Our investment portfolio does not contain any asset-backed securities with underlying collateral of sub-prime mortgages, alternative-A mortgages, sub-prime auto loans or sub-prime home equity loans, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps, derivatives, auction rate securities, structured investment vehicles or non-investment grade fixed-income securities. We own AAA-rated senior tranches of primarily fixed rate auto loan, credit card, equipment lease, and rate reduction receivables, secured predominantly by prime collateral. All collateral on asset-backed securities has performed as expected through September 30, 2022. In addition, we own U.S. government securities which primarily include debt directly issued by Federal Farm Credit Banks and Federal Home Loan Banks. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio). This investment strategy is supported by our short-term financing arrangements necessary to satisfy short-term funding requirements relating to client funds obligations. See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our corporate investments and funds held for clients.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $41.5 million, as compared to $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2023 to be between $200 million and $225 million, as compared to $177.1 million in fiscal 2022.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our overall investment portfolio is comprised of corporate investments (cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities) and client funds assets (funds that have been collected from clients but have not yet been remitted to the applicable tax authorities or client employees).

Our corporate investments are invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities.  These assets are available for our regular quarterly dividends, share repurchases, capital expenditures and/or acquisitions, as well as other corporate operating purposes. All of our short-term and long-term fixed-income securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

Our client funds assets are invested with safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary objectives. Consistent with those objectives, we also seek to maximize interest income and to minimize the volatility of interest income.  Client funds assets are invested in highly liquid, investment-grade marketable securities, with a maximum maturity of 10 years at the time of purchase, and money market securities and other cash equivalents.  
    
We utilize a strategy by which we extend the maturities of our investment portfolio for funds held for clients and employ short-term financing arrangements to satisfy our short-term funding requirements related to client funds obligations. Our client funds investment strategy is structured to allow us to average our way through an interest rate cycle by laddering the maturities of our investments out to five years (in the case of the extended portfolio) and out to ten years (in the case of the long portfolio). As part of our client funds investment strategy, we use the daily collection of funds from our clients to satisfy other unrelated client funds obligations, rather than liquidating previously-collected client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. In circumstances where we experience a reduction in employment levels due to a slowdown in the economy, we may make tactical decisions to sell certain securities or not reinvest maturing securities in order to reduce the size of the funds held for clients to correspond to client funds obligations. We minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such client’s obligation becomes due by impounding, in virtually all instances, the client’s funds in advance of the timing of payment of such client’s obligation. As a result of this practice, we have consistently maintained the required level of client funds assets to satisfy all of our obligations.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties involving our investment strategy relating to our client funds assets. Such risks include liquidity risk, including the risk associated with our ability to liquidate, if necessary, our available-for-sale securities in a timely manner in order to satisfy our client funds obligations. However, our investments are made with the safety of principal, liquidity, and diversification as the primary goals to minimize the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy all of our client funds obligations. We also believe we have significantly reduced the risk of not having sufficient funds to satisfy our client funds obligations by consistently maintaining access to other sources of liquidity, including our corporate cash balances, available borrowings under our $9.7 billion commercial paper program (rated A-1+ by Standard and Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s, and F1+ by Fitch, the highest possible short-term credit ratings), and our ability to engage in reverse repurchase agreement transactions and available borrowings under our $9.7 billion committed credit facilities. The reduced availability of financing during periods of economic turmoil, even to borrowers with the highest credit ratings, may limit our ability to access short-term debt markets to meet the liquidity needs of our business. In addition to liquidity risk, our investments are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk, as discussed below.

We have established credit quality, maturity, and exposure limits for our investments. The minimum allowed credit rating at time of purchase for Corporate, Canadian government agency and Canadian provincial bonds is BBB, for asset-backed securities is AAA, and for municipal bonds is A. The maximum maturity at time of purchase for BBB-rated securities is 5 years, for single A rated securities is 10 years, and for AA-rated and AAA-rated securities is 10 years. Time deposits and commercial paper must be rated A-1 and/or P-1. Money market funds must be rated AAA/Aaa-mf.

Total available-for-sale securities at fair value$28,761.0 $28,391.6 
 
We are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to securities that mature, as the proceeds from maturing securities are reinvested. Factors that influence the earnings impact of interest rate changes include, among others, the amount of invested funds and the overall portfolio mix between short-term and long-term investments. This mix varies during the fiscal year and is impacted by daily interest rate changes. The annualized interest rate earned on our entire portfolio increased from 1.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. A hypothetical change in both short-term interest rates (e.g., overnight interest rates or the federal funds rate) and intermediate-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $14 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2023. A hypothetical change in only short-term interest rates of 25 basis points applied to the estimated average short-term investment balances and any related short-term borrowings would result in approximately a $6 million impact to earnings before income taxes over the ensuing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2023.

We are exposed to credit risk in connection with our available-for-sale securities through the possible inability of the borrowers to meet the terms of the securities.  We limit credit risk by investing in investment-grade securities, primarily AAA-rated and AA- rated securities, as rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, DBRS for Canadian dollar denominated securities, and Fitch for asset-backed and commercial-mortgage-backed securities. In addition, we limit amounts that can be invested in any security other than U.S. government and government agency, Canadian government, and United Kingdom government securities.

We operate and transact business in various foreign jurisdictions and are therefore exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We may use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and other comprehensive income.  We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Refer to Note 2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to our accounting policies effective for the fiscal 2022.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” under Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “evaluation”).  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Except as noted below, all other items are either inapplicable or would result in negative responses and, therefore, have been omitted.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation.  While the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it and the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

With respect to the disclosure of administrative or judicial proceedings arising under any Federal, State, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, the Company has determined that the following threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceeding that is material to its business or financial condition: any proceeding when the potential monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.

10



SECTION 6 – BENEFITS

6.01     Determination of Benefit

The benefits payable to a Member from the Plan are the benefits calculated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.

6.02     Termination or Retirement

a)General Rule

If a Member terminates employment with the Company, the Member shall be entitled to receive the Notional Account Balance. The amount of the benefit will be paid to the
Member after the Member’s final pay from the Company and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes. If the Member has available RRSP contribution room (and provides satisfactory evidence to the Company) and if the Member requests that the Company make such a transfer, the Company may transfer all or a portion of the Member’s Notional Account Balance directly to the Member’s RRSP without the application of withholding taxes.

b)U.S. Taxpayer

A payment under Section 6.02(a) in respect of U.S. Taxpayer Benefits shall be made following the six (6) month anniversary of the date that the Member separates from service.

c)Payment over Period of Years

A Member entitled to a benefit under Section 6.02(a), other than a Member who terminates before the age of 55, may instead irrevocably elect in writing, prior to the first payment of his or her benefits, to receive the Member’s Notional Account Balance in annual installments over a period of 3, 5 or 10 years provided that the Notional Account Balance is over $50,000. The first payment is made the pay period following the final pay date and is equal to the Notional Account Balance divided by the number of payments he or she has elected. Subsequent payments are made on the January 30th pay date in an amount equal to the then remaining Notional Account Balance divided by the number of remaining payments he or she has elected. For the purposes of determining the remaining Notional Account Balance for each subsequent payment, notional interest will continue to be credited under Section 5.02 on the unpaid Notional Account Balance. The amount remaining in the Notional Account Balance can be paid in full to a Member at any time during this payment period if requested by the Member only if such payment is approved by the Company.

If the Member’s Notional Account Balance is under $50,000 the Notional Account Balance will be paid in full to the member on the pay period following the final pay date.


6.03     Death

a)General Rule

If a Member dies prior to terminating employment with the Company, the Member’s
Spouse or, if the Member does not have a Spouse, the Member’s Beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 7.01 or estate, shall be entitled to receive the Member’s
11



Notional Account Balance. The amount of the benefit will be paid to the Spouse, Beneficiary or estate by the Company following the Member’s death in a lump sum, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

b)Payment over Period of Years
A Spouse who is entitled to receive a benefit under Section 6.03(a) may instead irrevocably elect in writing, prior to the first payment of benefits, to receive the payment in the Applicable Portion in respect of the member in annual installments over a period of 3, 5 or 10 years provided that the Notional Account Balance is over $50,000. The first payment is due upon the Member’s death and is equal to the Notional Account Balance divided by the number of payments elected. Subsequent payments are made on the January 30th pay date in an amount equal to the then remaining Notional Account Balance divided by the number of remaining payments elected. For the purposes of determining the remaining Notional Account Balance for each subsequent payment, notional interest will continue to be credited under Section 5.02 on the unpaid account balance. The amount remaining in the Notional Account Balance can be paid in full to a Spouse at any time during the payment period if requested by the Spouse only if such payment is approved by the Company.
c)Death of Member While in Receipt
If a Member dies while in receipt of annual benefits under Section 6.02(c) above, the Member’s Beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 7.01 or estate, shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of the Notional Account Balance in respect of a Member. Notwithstanding, a Member’s Beneficiary may elect to continue to receive the remainder of the annual payments elected by the Member. The amount remaining in the Notional Account Balance in respect of a Member can be paid in full to a Beneficiary at any time during the payment period if requested by the Beneficiary only if such payment is approved by the Company. If the Beneficiary dies prior to receiving the remainder of the annual payments, the Notional Account Balance will be paid to the estate of the Beneficiary.


12



SECTION 7 - DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY AND SETTLEMENT OF DEATH BENEFITS


7.01     Designation of Beneficiary

A Member may designate, by written notice communicated to the Company, a Beneficiary to receive any payments that may be payable to a Beneficiary following the death of the Member, and may alter or revoke such designation in the same manner from time to time, subject always to the provisions of any annuity, insurance, or other contract or law governing designation of beneficiaries as may be in force from time to time or any subsequent valid designation of a beneficiary by the Member under his will. If a Member does not designate a Beneficiary, or having done so if the Beneficiary is not living on the date of the Member’s death, or lacking any valid designation under the Plan or under the Member’s will, any sums that may be payable under the Plan following the death of the Member will be paid in a lump sum to his estate.

7.02     Death of Beneficiary

Should a Beneficiary, who as the result of a Member’s death is entitled to receive the payment of retirement benefits under a form of benefit with a guaranteed number of payments, die prior to the end of the applicable period for the continuation of such payments, the Commuted Value of the remainder of the guaranteed payments will be paid to the estate of the Beneficiary in a lump sum.

7.03     Identity of Beneficiary or Spouse

If there is any doubt as to the identity of the Beneficiary or Spouse or as to whether the
Beneficiary or Spouse is the person entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan following the death of the Member, payment of any such benefit may be withheld for a reasonable time to permit investigation to be made, and any Beneficiary, Spouse or other claimant will on demand be obliged to furnish all information and to produce such proof of identity and of right to the benefit as may be reasonable in the circumstances.

7.04     Additional Documents

The Company may require the execution and delivery of such documents and receipts as it may deem necessary or desirable in order to be assured that the payment of death benefits is properly made to the party entitled thereto.


13



SECTION 8 - FUNDING OF THE PLAN

8.01     Funding

The Company has no obligation to secure the Plan. The Company may, in its sole discretion, set aside assets, in such amounts and at such times as it may decide, in such manners as it deems appropriate. In no event will funds or assets be contributed to a trusteed arrangement that constitutes a retirement compensation arrangement under the
Income Tax Act.


14



SECTION 9 - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN


9.01     Responsibility for Administration

The Company shall be the designated administrator responsible for the overall administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, and all decisions of the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan will be binding upon the Company and the Members. The Company may enact such rules and regulations relating to the operation of the Plan as it considers necessary for the carrying out of its provisions and may amend or revoke such rules and regulations from time to time.

9.02     Delegation of Duties

The Company may delegate certain duties with respect to the administration of the Plan to such committee or person or persons as it may determine, whether or not the members of the committee or the person or persons are employees, officers or directors of the Company. The Company may authorize the committee, person or persons so determined by it to act on its behalf and to execute instruments on its behalf.

15



SECTION 10 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.01     Rights of Associates

Participation in this Plan does not confer on any Member any rights that he did not otherwise possess as an Associate, except to such benefits as have specifically accrued to him under the terms of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan may be deemed to give any Associate the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any Associate at any time without regard to the effect that such discharge might have upon the Associate as a Member under the Plan.

10.02     Non-Alienation

Except as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction or permitted by law, all benefits provided under the terms of the Plan are for the Member’s own use and benefit, are not capable of assignment or alienation, and do not confer upon any Member, personal representative or dependent, or any other person, any right or interest in the benefit or deferred benefit that is capable of being assigned or otherwise alienated.

10.03     Assignability of Benefits on Breakdown of Spousal Relationship

Notwithstanding Section 10.02, a benefit payable under the Plan is subject to execution, seizure or attachment in satisfaction of an order for support or maintenance enforceable in Ontario or another relevant jurisdiction. In addition, a portion of a Member’s benefit may be paid to his Spouse or former Spouse in accordance with the terms of a written agreement or court order as contemplated by the Family Law Act (Ontario) or similar legislation in other jurisdictions but only when benefits become payable after the termination of the Member.

10.04     Records

Whenever used for the purposes of the Plan, the records of the Company will be deemed to be conclusive as to the facts with which they are concerned.

10.05     Payments to Incapacitated Persons

If the Company receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person receiving a benefit or entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan is physically, mentally, or legally incompetent to receive the benefit and to give a valid receipt therefor and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of that person has been duly appointed, the benefit may be paid, in the discretion of the Company:

(a)     where an individual or an institution is then maintaining or has custody of the person to whom the benefit is payable, to that individual or institution; or

(b)     to the Supreme Court of Ontario for the credit of the person pursuant to the laws of Ontario governing such payments into court.

Any such payment will be deemed a payment for the account of the person and will constitute a complete discharge for the payment of the benefit. If a person dies before receiving all the payments to which he is entitled under the Plan, the remaining payments will be made to his estate.

10.06     Applications, Notices and Elections
16




Any application, notice, or election under the Plan must be made, given, or communicated, as the case may be, in such manner as the Company may determine.

10.07     Construction

The Plan and all rights thereunder will be governed, construed, and administered in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario.

SECTION 11 - AMENDMENT TO OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN


11.01     The Company reserves the sole right to amend, segregate, merge, or terminate the Plan at any time or times. However, neither an amendment of the Plan nor termination of the Plan may cause the reduction or the cessation of any benefits under the Plan (and of the Company’s obligation to provide such benefits) which have accrued under the Plan to the Member prior to the effective date of the amendment or the termination.

11.02    Insolvency of Company

    Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, if, at any time, the Company is insolvent, there shall be no liability whatsoever, on the part of any directory or officer of the Company to fund the Plan or otherwise provide for the benefits hereunder.
