SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT DATED OCTOBER 2, 2018
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 13, 2018

This proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”), dated November 7, 2018, supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) of CDK Global, Inc. (“CDK Global” or the “Company”) dated October 2, 2018 furnished to holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 13, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”), or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Except as specifically supplemented by the information contained in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares.

THE PROXY STATEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND THIS
SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.

The Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. central time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CDK2018. The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual, live, audio webcast meeting of stockholders. The record date for the determination of the holders of the Company’s common stock who are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is September 14, 2018 (the “Record Date”), which is the same record date specified in the Proxy Statement.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials For the Annual Meeting

SEC rules permit companies to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders over the internet. This expedites stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lowers annual meeting costs and conserves natural resources. We have therefore mailed stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, rather than a paper copy of the proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials (including this Supplement) online, vote and (if desired) obtain a paper copy of our proxy materials.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Appointment of New President and Chief Executive Officer; Substitute Nominee for Election as Director

The Board has appointed Brian Krzanich, 58, as President, Chief Executive Officer and director, effective immediately after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for its first quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the “Transition Date”). Mr. Krzanich succeeds Brian MacDonald, who has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer and director effective as of the Transition Date.

In connection with his resignation from the Board, Mr. MacDonald also informed the Board that he has withdrawn his name from nomination for re-election at the Annual Meeting. The Proxy Statement provides that if a nominee becomes unable or declines to serve, the accompanying proxy may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. The Board has designated Mr. Krzanich as substitute nominee and, accordingly, any shares voted for the election of Mr. MacDonald will instead be voted for the election of Mr. Krzanich. Mr. Krzanich has consented to being named as a nominee for director at the Annual Meeting and to serve if elected.


The following is a brief biography of Mr. Krzanich and a discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led the Board to recommend him as a nominee for director, as of the date of this Supplement.

The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of the regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. Share amounts are rounded to the nearest whole number.
