ROSELAND, N.J. -- The board of directors of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP) has appointed Christopher R. Reidy to the position of chief financial officer, Gary C. Butler, president and chief operating officer and CEO-elect, announced today. Mr. Reidy will assume his role no later than October 2, 2006.

Mr. Reidy, who is 49 years old, has over 25 years of varied financial experience, most recently as the controller and chief accounting officer of AT&T Corporation. He received a B.S in accounting from St. Francis College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Butler stated, "Chris has had an extraordinary career. A CPA with 11 years in public accounting, Chris started his career at Price Waterhouse and later became a partner at Deloitte & Touche.
