Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers
On June 4, 2024, TriNet Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a transition agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with Alexander Warren, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer, who will be departing the Company effective on or around September 1, 2024 (the “Separation Date”).
During the period beginning on June 3, 2024 and ending on the Separation Date (such period, the “Transition Period”), Mr. Warren has agreed to provide transition services to the Company in his current capacity or, at the election of the Company, as special advisor to the Company.
Mr. Warren’s compensation and benefits remain unchanged during the Transition Period. Subject to Mr. Warren’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company on or shortly following the Separation Date, his continued employment through the end of the Transition Period, and his compliance with certain covenants set forth in the Transition Agreement, Mr. Warren will receive the separation payments and benefits to which he is entitled under the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Benefit Plan, which consist of (i) an amount equal to 12 months of his base salary, (ii) Company-paid or reimbursed premiums for continued healthcare coverage under COBRA for up to 12 months, and (iii) accelerated vesting of the portion of Mr. Warren’s unvested time-based Company equity awards as if Mr. Warren’s employment had continued for 12 months following the Separation Date.
The foregoing description of the Transition Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, a copy of which will be filed concurrently with filing of the Company’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
