The awards are designed to retain leadership during a strategic transformation involving a joint human resources solution with Workday, Inc.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the approval of "Special Performance-Based Awards" (PSUs) effective July 1, 2025. These awards are contingent on significant stock price appreciation over a five-year period. The filing highlights a strategic shift toward a joint solution with Workday, Inc., combining Workday's technology with Insperity's HR services to target small and midsize businesses.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management views the joint solution with Workday as a catalyst for expanding the total addressable market and driving long-term growth and profitability. The equity awards are structured to align executive compensation with this long-term strategy.
- Performance Targets: Awards vest only if the 30-day average closing stock price reaches specific hurdles. The minimum threshold is $105 (10% payout), and the maximum is $225 (100% payout).
- Retention Requirement: Executives must remain continuously employed for five years to vest, with forfeiture upon resignation or termination for cause.
- Change in Control: Awards do not automatically vest upon a change in control but are measured based on the highest performance level achieved or the transaction value, subject to a "double trigger" (termination without cause or resignation for good reason).
- Dividend Adjustment: Stock price targets are not adjusted for cash dividends, increasing the difficulty of achieving the targets.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the "Special PSU Award Agreement" filed as Exhibit 10.1.
- Monitor the progress of the joint HR solution development and launch with Workday, Inc.
- Track the 30-day average closing stock price relative to the $105 minimum threshold and $225 maximum target.
- Review future filings for any updates on the strategic partnership or changes in executive leadership.
- Assess the impact of the non-adjustment of stock price targets for dividends on the likelihood of award vesting.
