Insperity, Inc. (NYSE:NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America’s best businesses, today announced that its Board of Directors has reached an agreement with Starboard Value LP (together with its affiliates, “Starboard”), its largest shareholder, in advance of the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders.

Under the terms of the agreement, Starboard has agreed to vote all of its shares at the upcoming annual meeting in favor of the Company’s incumbent Class II directors, who are Paul Sarvadi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Carol Kaufmann, Lead Independent Director, and Austin Young, Chairman of the Finance and Risk Management Committee. The agreement also calls for the immediate appointment of two new directors to the Board of Directors (Norman Sorensen and Peter Feld, who will be the only nominee affiliated with Starboard) and the later appointment of a third director nominated by Starboard. Two existing directors, Paul Lattanzio and Jack Fields, who had decided not to seek re-election when their terms expire in 2016, have announced their decisions to depart from the Board immediately following the 2015 annual meeting. In addition, Starboard has agreed to customary standstill restrictions.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Board has created a new independent advisory committee to review the Company’s business and make recommendations to the Board regarding capital allocation, expenses and targeted ranges for Adjusted EBITDA Margins, as defined in the agreement, while taking into consideration the Company’s risk profile and the potential impact of any recommendations on the Company’s business model and strategic plan. The new committee consists of two current independent directors and two Starboard nominees, including Mr. Feld, who chairs the committee. The committee will evaluate Insperity’s cost structure and Insperity, Inc. recommend targeted ranges for Adjusted EBITDA Margins for fiscal years 2015 and 2016, which the Board will have the right to review and approve. Subject to the approval of such recommendations by the Board, the Company will issue a press release or public announcement discussing such approved recommendations no later than the second quarter fiscal year 2015 earnings announcement.

“This agreement represents the best possible outcome for all of our shareholders. We look forward to working with the new directors toward our common goal of enhancing long-term shareholder value and continuing our strong business momentum,” said Mr. Sarvadi. “I want to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Lattanzio and Mr. Fields for their many years of commitment and distinguished service on the Board, which helped oversee our recently completed business transformation.”

Peter Feld, on behalf of Starboard, stated: “As the Company’s largest shareholder, we recognize the value of Insperity’s platform and are pleased to join the Board. We believe the addition of new independent directors will bring a fresh perspective to the boardroom and we look forward to working constructively with the incumbent Board members to enhance shareholder value.”

The new directors qualify as “independent” directors under the New York Stock Exchange’s governance rules. Mr. Sorensen has been appointed as a Class II director and the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders elect him at the upcoming annual meeting. Mr. Feld has been and the future nominee of Starboard will be appointed as Class I directors and will be subject to the election by shareholders at the annual meeting in 2017. One or more new directors will be named to serve on each of the Board’s existing committees.

Additionally, the Company has been in the process of exploring alternatives regarding the Company’s two aircraft, including the possible sale of the aircraft. However, pursuant to the agreement with Starboard, the Company is announcing its intent to commence activities to market the aircraft for sale. The Company is in the process of initiating an appraisal of the aircraft to determine the current market values. In the event that the current market values are less than the Company’s book value of the aircraft, then the Company would incur an impairment loss equal to the difference.

The agreement will be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
