Deferred Client Conversion and Start-up Costs Included in Deferred client conversion and start-up costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $47.2 million of deferred client conversion and start-up costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). In reviewing these assets for impairment, management considered: (1) the terms and conditions of the Outsourcing Services Agreement, (2) PWI’s progress toward its stated financial improvement plan and the anticipated improvement to its overall financial condition, (3) the outlook for PWI’s business, and (4) the payment status of the Company’s trade account receivables with Penson. In addition, the Company used its best efforts to calculate the probability of the Company realizing potential weighted undiscounted cash flows related to the Outsourcing Services Agreement based on the occurrence of a number of various scenarios. On June 5, 2012, as a result of the termination of the U.S. Schedule to the Outsourcing Services Agreement, Broadridge determined that a material charge for impairment would be taken on the deferred costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement. The charge taken by the Company on the Deferred Costs was $47.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, representing all deferred costs associated with the Outsourcing Services Agreement with Penson. Note Receivable The Note receivable refers to the Seller Note in the principal amount of $20.6 million issued by PWI to Broadridge as part of the consideration in the sale of the Ridge clearing contracts to Penson (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). On March 13, 2012, Broadridge and Ridge entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with PWI and certain of its subsidiaries, which provided for proposed transactions related to the restructuring of Penson’s outstanding indebtedness, including the Seller Note. As part of PWI’s debt restructuring, Broadridge agreed to cancel this note receivable in exchange for additional shares of PWI’s common stock, and the Company recorded a $21.4 million charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest on the Seller Note. On May 17, 2012, the Restructuring Support Agreement terminated automatically pursuant to its terms as PWI did not launch the proposed exchange offer as contemplated under the Restructuring Support Agreement. Long-term Investments Included in Long-term investments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was the Company’s investment of 2,455,627 shares in the common stock of PWI (see Note 8, “Discontinued Operations”). In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management’s policy considers, but is not limited to, the following: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on the Company’s review, factoring in the level of decline in the fair value of the PWI common stock, management determined that the market value of the PWI common stock may not equal or exceed the cost basis of the Company’s investment within a reasonable period of time. After consideration of the severity and duration of this decline in fair value, as well as the reasons for the decline in value, the Company determined that there was an “other-than-temporary” impairment (“OTTI”) related to the Company’s investment in PWI common stock, for which the Company recorded a $12.5 million charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and wrote down the cost basis of this investment to zero.
