RELATING TO THE PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held on May 1, 2019

On March 22, 2019, Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (the “Company”) filed its proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and made the Proxy Statement available on the Internet on that same day. Subsequent to that date, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed, effective as of April 9, 2019, Deborah A. Farrington as a Class II director of the Company with a term set to expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As discussed in the Proxy Statement, the Company previously maintained one vacancy on the Board because it anticipated electing an independent director and appointing such director to the audit committee of the Board. As discussed in the Proxy Statement, the Company intends for all members of the audit committee to meet the required New York Stock Exchange and SEC standards within one year of our IPO, which is April 30, 2019. In connection with Ms. Farrington’s appointment to the Board, Ms. Farrington was also appointed to the audit committee, effective as of April 9, 2019, and Mr. Ganesh Rao stepped down from the audit committee as of such date. Mr. Rao is a Class I director and is nominated for election at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the 2022 Annual Meeting, and will continue to serve on the compensation committee of the Board.

These additional materials have been prepared to provide stockholders with information regarding the Company’s new Class II director that would have been included in the Proxy Statement had Ms. Farrington been elected prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement. You are not being asked to vote for or ratify the election of Ms. Farrington at the upcoming Annual Meeting, as our Class II directors are not being elected by Company stockholders at this meeting.

If you have already voted by Internet, telephone or by mail, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. These additional materials do not change the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, which are described in the Proxy Statement.

Business Experience of Ms. Farrington

Ms. Farrington, age 68, is a founder and President of StarVest Management, Inc. and is, and since 1999 has been, a general partner of StarVest Partners, L.P., a venture capital fund. Ms. Farrington is a member of the board of directors of Collectors Universe, Inc., a NASDAQ listed company, where she is chairperson of the compensation committee and a member of the audit committee and nominating and governance committee; and NCR Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed company, and a member of its audit committee. Ms. Farrington was lead director, chair of the compensation and governance committees, and member of the audit and transaction committees as a member of the board of directors of NetSuite, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed company, from 2000 until 2016. Ms. Farrington is also a member of the boards of directors of ConveyIQ, Inc., CrowdTwist, Inc., Ramp Holdings Inc., Snag Holdings, Inc., and Xignite, Inc., all of which are private companies. Earlier in her career, she was an investment banker and executive with Merrill Lynch & Co. We believe that Ms. Farrington’s executive leadership and extensive experience on boards of directors, as well as her experience in software and financial services, makes her well-qualified to serve as a director.
