NEW YORK, New York -- August 9, 2007 -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. announced today that Mizuho Securities USA Inc. has signed a multi-year contract and has successfully gone live on Broadridge's MBS Expert® service bureau solution. Although previously available on a license basis, Broadridge's industry-leading MBS Expert is now the only standalone mortgage-backed trade processing system offered on a service bureau in the marketplace.

MBS Expert is Broadridge's mortgage-backed securities solution that is engineered to give its users a competitive advantage in this multi-trillion dollar market. The system provides clients with advanced workflow and processing functionalities to maximize front, middle, and back office operational efficiencies. Broadridge's MBS Expert service bureau solution enables MBS Expert clients to realize the economies of scale and cost-saving benefits associated with all Broadridge service bureau offerings.

An existing Broadridge client, Mizuho Securities currently uses the Gloss and impact products for international and fixed income securities processing. As part of a new business initiative, Mizuho Securities will now expand its trading capabilities to include mortgage-backed securities and is the first service bureau client to implement MBS Expert Service Bureau to support this new business.
