In the normal course of business, in an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about our operations, from time to time, we may issue such forward-looking statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies; projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies; or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, average number of worksite employees (“WSEEs”), benefits and workers’ compensation costs, or other operating results. We base the forward- looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections.

In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in this annual report, or elsewhere, could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this annual report, including, without limitation, factors discussed in Item 1, “Business,” Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Item 1. Business. General We provide an array of human resources (“HR”) and business solutions designed to help improve business performance. Since our formation in 1986, we have evolved from being solely a professional employer organization (“PEO”), an industry we pioneered, to our current position as a comprehensive business performance solutions provider. Our long-term strategy is to provide the best small and medium-sized businesses in the United States with our specialized human resources service offering and to leverage our buying power and expertise to provide additional valuable services to clients. Our most comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Workforce Optimization and Workforce Synchronization solutions (together, our “PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions”), which encompass a broad range of human resources functions, including payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, government compliance, performance management, and training and development services, along with our cloud-based human capital management platform, our Insperity Premier comprehensive HR outsourcing solution and is our primary offering. Workforce Synchronization, which generally is offered only to our middle market client segment, is a lower cost offering with a typically longer commitment that includes the same compliance and administrative services as Workforce Optimization and allows those clients to select, for an additional fee, from the strategic HR products and services that are included with Workforce Optimization. platform. Workforce Optimization is our most TM TM ® In addition to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, we offer a comprehensive traditional payroll and human capital management solution, known as our Workforce Acceleration solution. We also offer a number of other business performance solutions, including Recruiting Services, Employment Screening, Retirement Services, and Insurance Services. These other products and services generally are offered only with our other solutions. TM Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions are designed to improve the productivity and profitability of small and medium-sized businesses. These solutions relieve business owners and key executives of many employer-related administrative and regulatory burdens, which enable them to focus on the core competencies of their businesses. Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions also promote employee performance through human capital management techniques designed to improve employee engagement and satisfaction. We enter into a Client Service Agreement (“CSA”) with each of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients under which we and our client act as co-employers of the employees who work at the client’s worksite, or worksite employees (“WSEEs”). Under the CSA, we assume responsibility for personnel administration and assist our clients in complying with employment-related governmental regulations, while the client retains the employees’ services in its business and remains the employer for other purposes. We charge a comprehensive service fee (“comprehensive service fee” or “gross billing”), which is invoiced concurrently with the processing of payroll for the WSEEs of the client. The comprehensive service fee consists of the payroll of our WSEEs plus an additional amount reflected as a percentage of the payroll cost of the WSEEs. 2 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS We accomplish the objectives of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions through a “high-touch/high-tech” approach to service delivery. In advisory areas, such as recruiting, employee performance management and employee training, we employ a high-touch approach designed to ensure that our clients receive the personal attention and expertise needed to create a customized human resources solution. We utilize a variety of information technology capabilities to deliver our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, including Insperity Premier through which we, along with our clients and WSEEs, manage employee administration, payroll, payroll tax, benefits, retirement solutions and other HR-related information, creating efficiencies for all parties. As of December 31, 2023, we had 83 physical office locations in 45 markets. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location. In addition, we had four regional service centers along with human resources and client service personnel located in a majority of our 45 sales markets, which serviced an average of 315,072 WSEEs per month in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our service centers coordinate PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions for clients on a regional basis and localized face-to-face human resources services. We were organized as a corporation in 1986. Our principal executive offices are located at 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339. Our telephone number at that address is (281) 358-8986, and our website address is www.insperity.com. Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NSP.” We file or furnish periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and if applicable, amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Through the investor relations section of our website, we make available electronic copies of the documents that we file or furnish to the SEC, the charters of the standing committees of our Board of Directors (“Board”) and other documents related to our corporate governance, including our Code of Conduct. Access to these electronic filings is available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after filing or furnishing them to the SEC. Printed copies of our committee charters and other governance documents and filings can be requested by writing to our corporate secretary at the address above. Information on our website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into, this report or any other report we may file with or furnish to the SEC, whether before or after the date of this report and irrespective of any general incorporation language therein. PEO Industry The PEO industry began to evolve in the early 1980s largely in response to the burdens placed on small and medium-sized employers by an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment. While various service providers were available to assist these businesses with specific tasks, PEOs emerged as providers of a more comprehensive range of services relating to the employer/employee relationship. In a PEO arrangement, the PEO assumes certain aspects of the employer/employee relationship as defined in the contract between the PEO and its client. Because PEOs provide employer-related services to a large number of employees, they can achieve economies of scale that allow them to perform employment-related functions more efficiently, provide a greater variety of employee benefits, and devote more attention to human resources management than a client can individually. We believe the key factors driving demand for PEO services include: • the focus on growth and productivity of the small and medium-sized business community in the United States, utilizing outsourcing to concentrate on core competencies • the need to provide competitive health care and related benefits to attract and retain employees • the increasing costs associated with health and workers’ compensation insurance coverage, workplace safety programs, employee- related complaints and litigation • complex regulation of payroll, payroll tax and employment issues and the related costs of compliance, including the allocation of time and effort to such functions by owners and key executives • the significant costs, time and specialized knowledge required to purchase or develop the technology infrastructure to administer benefits, HR and payroll processing on an integrated basis A significant factor in the development of the PEO industry has been increasing recognition and acceptance of PEOs and the co-employer relationship by federal and state governmental authorities. Insperity and other industry leaders, in concert with the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (“NAPEO”), have worked with the relevant governmental entities for the establishment of a regulatory framework that protects clients and employees, discourages 3 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS unscrupulous and financially unsound PEOs, and promotes further development of the industry. Currently, 42 states have enacted legislation either recognizing PEOs or requiring licensing, registration, or certification, and several others are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs. State regulation assists in screening insufficiently capitalized PEO operations and helps to resolve interpretive issues concerning employer/employee status for specific purposes under applicable state law. We have actively supported such regulatory efforts and are currently recognized, licensed, registered, certified or pursuing registration in all of these states. The cost of compliance with these regulations is not material to our financial position or results of operations. The Small Business Efficiency Act (“SBEA”) created a federal regulatory framework for the payment of wages to WSEEs and the reporting and remittance of federal payroll taxes on those wages paid by PEOs certified under the Internal Revenue Code as meeting certain requirements (“CPEOs”). We actively supported the enactment of this law. The SBEA clarified that a CPEO, rather than the client, is treated as the employer for purposes of reporting and remitting payroll taxes. It also clarified that a CPEO is treated as a successor employer for purposes of the wage base of WSEEs on which federal payroll taxes are applied. In addition, the law clarified that clients of a CPEO remain eligible for specified tax credits for which they would have been eligible absent the CPEO relationship. Following the establishment of the voluntary certification program by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States (“IRS”) and Treasury Department, our PEO subsidiary, Insperity PEO Services, L.P., received its designation as a CPEO from the IRS. Service Offerings PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions We serve small and medium-sized businesses by providing our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, which encompass a broad range of services. Both of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions offer the following: • payroll and benefits administration • general HR advice • health and workers’ compensation insurance programs • 401(k) retirement plan sponsored by us • employer liability management • assistance with government compliance • personnel records management • access to Insperity Premier for employees, managers, and client owners Our Workforce Optimization solution also provides additional services that our Workforce Synchronization clients can purchase for an additional fee, including the following: • employee recruiting and support • employee performance management • training and development services Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions are designed to attract and retain high-quality employees, while relieving client owners and key executives of many employer-related administrative and regulatory burdens. As a co-employer in the PEO relationship, we assume or share many of the employer-related responsibilities and assist our clients in complying with many employment-related governmental laws and regulations. Historically, we believe that we have successfully marketed the compliance component of our service offering and that our compliance-related services have increased the value proposition of our service offering. Among the employment-related laws and regulations that may affect a client are the following: 4 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) • Federal Income Contribution Act (FICA) • Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) • Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) • Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) • Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) • Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) • State unemployment and employment security laws • Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended (ERISA) • State workers’ compensation laws • Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) • Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”) • Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) • Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) • Title VII (Civil Rights Act of 1964) • State and local law equivalents of the foregoing • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) • The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) • Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) • The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) • The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) • The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) • The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) • Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 • Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement • Drug-Free Workplace Act Act (PPP) • SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022, as part of The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 These laws and regulations are complex, and in some instances overlapping. We assist our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients in complying with these laws and regulations by providing services in the categories set forth below: Administrative Functions. Administrative functions encompass a wide variety of processing and recordkeeping tasks, mostly related to payroll administration and regulatory compliance. Specific examples include: • payroll processing • payroll tax deposits • payroll tax reporting • employee file maintenance • unemployment claims processing • workers’ compensation claims reporting and monitoring Benefit Plans Administration. We maintain numerous benefit plans for eligible WSEEs including the following: • a group health plan • a health savings account program • a health care flexible spending account plan • a 401(k) retirement plan • an employee well-being program • cafeteria plans for group health and health savings account contributions • short-term and long-term disability insurance 5 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • an educational assistance program • an adoption assistance program • group term life insurance • accidental death and dismemberment insurance • critical illness and accident insurance The group health plan includes medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage. All benefit plans are provided to eligible employees based on the specific eligibility provisions of each plan. We are the policyholder responsible for the costs and premiums associated with any group insurance policies that provide benefits under these plans, and we act as plan sponsor and administrator of the plans. We negotiate the terms and costs of the plans, maintain the plans in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations and serve as liaison for the delivery of these benefits to WSEEs and corporate employees. COBRA coverage is extended to eligible terminated WSEEs and other eligible individuals in accordance with applicable law. We believe that the variety and comprehensive nature of our benefit plan offerings are generally not available to employees in our small and medium-sized business target market and allow our clients to compete with the type and level of benefits usually offered only by companies with a larger group of employees. As a result, we believe the availability of these benefit plans provides our clients with a competitive advantage that small and medium-sized businesses are typically unable to attain on their own. Insperity Premier. Insperity Premier is our cloud-based human capital management platform for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions and is available to our clients with minimal implementation effort. It is designed to provide our service providers with insight into client and WSEE HR information to better support their needs. Insperity Premier provides role-based access to a wide range of human capital management functions, along with personalized content to the managers, owners and WSEEs of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, including: For managers and client owners: • WebPayroll for the submission, approval, and reporting of payroll data • mobile access to review and approve payroll transactions and employee time entry • tools to manage the onboarding of new employees • employee administration functions such as viewing or changing information about employees • access to client-specific compliance-related information relevant to many HR areas • reporting and analytics tools to create, view, save, and export reports and data about employees and to perform more complex analysis and visualization of their workforce data with the Insperity People Analytics solution • ability to manage employee time and attendance information, absences, and paid time off • access to talent management tools in the areas of recruiting, performance management, and learning management • access to a library of online human resources forms • access to a wide range of best-practices human resources management content For WSEEs: • access to view, edit, and change a range of employee profile information • online check stubs, pay history, W-2 forms, W-4 forms, and other state forms • employee-specific benefits content, including summary plan descriptions, enrollment status, and tools to assist with benefits selection for Insperity-sponsored plans • access to 401(k) retirement plan information for covered plans 6 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • e-learning web-based training • links to benefits providers and other key vendors • performance management tools including self-reviews and review history, if offered by client • ability to submit time and attendance information, absences, and paid time off requests, if offered by client • mobile access to perform a wide range of employee-specific activities such as reporting time and attendance and paid time off, view pay stubs, insurance coverage and ID cards, view 401(k) balances and other commonly accessed data People Management. In addition to the services we deliver through Insperity Premier, we provide a wide variety of human capital management services that give our clients access to HR advisors and additional resources normally found only in the human resources departments of large companies. All PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients have access to our advice concerning personnel policies and practices, including recruiting, discipline, and termination procedures. Other human capital management services we provide include: • drafting and reviewing personnel policies and employee handbooks • designing job descriptions • performing prospective employee screening and background investigations • designing performance appraisal processes and tools • professional development and issues-oriented training • diversity, equity and inclusion training • employee coaching and counseling • substance abuse awareness training • outplacement services • compensation guidance Employer Liability Management. Under the CSA, we assume many of the employment-related responsibilities associated with the administrative functions, benefit plans administration, and human capital management services we provide. For many of those employment- related responsibilities that are the responsibility of the client or of both the client and us, we may assist our clients in managing and limiting liability. This assistance may include safety-related risk management reviews as well as the implementation by our clients of safety programs, for which our clients are responsible, that are designed to reduce workplace accidents and, consequently, workers’ compensation claims. We also provide guidance to clients for avoiding discrimination, sexual harassment and civil rights violations, and we assist with termination decisions when consulted to attempt to minimize liability on those grounds. While we do not provide legal services to our clients, we employ in-house and external counsel who specialize in several areas of employment law, have broad experience in disputes concerning the employer/employee relationship, and provide support to our internal human resources professionals. As part of our comprehensive service, we also maintain employment practice liability insurance coverage for ourselves and our clients, monitor developments in HR-related laws and regulations, and notify clients of the potential effect of such changes on employer liability. SM MarketPlace provided by Insperity . Through our many alliances with best-in-class providers, Insperity’s MarketPlace is an e-commerce portal that brings a wide range of products and services to our clients, WSEEs and their families. Through MarketPlace, which is provided through Insperity Premier, our clients also have the opportunity to offer their products and services to other clients and WSEEs. ® Middle Market Solutions. We believe the middle market sector, which we generally define as those companies with employee populations ranging from approximately 150 to 5,000 WSEEs, has historically been under-served by the PEO industry. Currently, we have a dedicated sales management, service personnel and consulting staff who concentrate 7 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS solely on the middle market sector. Our average number of WSEEs per month in our middle market sector in 2023 increased 10.5% from 2022, and the middle market sector as a percentage of our overall WSEE count also increased over this period, representing approximately 26.1% and 24.9% of our total average paid WSEEs during 2023 and 2022, respectively. Clients with an average number of WSEEs exceeding 1,000 paid WSEEs represented 5.5% and 5.4% of our total average paid WSEEs during 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other Product and Services Offerings We offer other product and services offerings on a stand-alone basis and to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients. We also strive to leverage our relationships with our customers to enable cross-selling of our various products and services. During 2023 and 2022, revenues from our other products and services offerings as a percentage of our total revenues were 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively. Following are the key components of our other products and services, which are offered separately or as a bundle: Comprehensive Traditional Payroll and Human Capital Management Solution. Our Insperity Workforce Acceleration solution is a comprehensive human capital management and payroll services solution for clients that do not choose our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions. This solution combines a third-party cloud-based human resources software suite that provides integrated payroll, HR administration and employee onboarding, benefits administration, performance management, and time and attendance functionality with HR guidance and tools, as well as reporting and analytics. In addition, through a strategic partner, Workforce Acceleration clients have access to a national, licensed insurance brokerage that specializes in the insurance needs of small businesses.

Insurance Services.

Insurance Services also assists individuals in obtaining insurance coverages. Client Service Agreement All PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients execute a CSA with us. The CSA provides for an ongoing relationship between Insperity and the PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions client. For most clients, the CSA generally establishes pricing for a period of one year and is subject to termination by Insperity or the client upon 30 days’ written notice or upon shorter notice in the event of default. CSAs for our middle market clients generally establish pricing for two years and are subject to termination by clients upon payment of a termination fee or otherwise by the parties upon an event of default. The CSA establishes our comprehensive service fee, which is subject to periodic adjustments to account for changes in the composition of the client’s workforce, employee benefit election changes, and statutory changes that affect our costs. Under the CSA, clients are obligated to pay the estimated payroll tax component of the comprehensive service fee in a manner that reflects the pattern of incurred payroll tax costs. This practice aligns clients’ payments to us with our obligations to make payments to tax authorities, which are higher in the earlier part of the year and decrease as limits on wages subject to payroll tax are reached. 8 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS The CSA also establishes the division of responsibilities between us and the client as co-employers. Pursuant to the CSA, we are responsible for personnel administration and for compliance with certain employment-related government regulations. In addition, we assume liability for payment of salaries and wages (as well as related payroll taxes) of our WSEEs and responsibility for providing specified employee benefits to such persons. These liabilities are not contingent on the prepayment by the client of the associated comprehensive service fee. Instead, as a result of our employment relationship with each of our WSEEs, we are liable for payment of salary and wages to the WSEEs as reported by the client and are responsible for providing specified employee benefits to such persons regardless of whether the client pays the associated comprehensive service fee. The client retains the employees’ services and remains liable for complying with certain government regulations that require control of the worksite or daily supervisory responsibility or is otherwise beyond our ability to assume. A third group of responsibilities and liabilities are assumed by both Insperity and the client where such concurrent responsibility is appropriate. The specific division of applicable responsibilities under our CSAs generally is as follows: Insperity Responsibilities • Payment of wages and salaries as reported by the client and related tax reporting and remittance (local, state and federal withholding, FICA, FUTA, state unemployment) • Workers’ compensation compliance, procurement, management and reporting • Compliance with the Code, COBRA, ERISA and PPACA for Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans, as well as monitoring changes in other governmental laws and regulations governing the employer/employee relationship and updating the client when necessary • Offering benefits under Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans • Administration of Insperity-sponsored employee benefit plans Client Responsibilities • Payment, through Insperity, of commissions, bonuses, vacations, paid time off, sick pay, paid leaves of absence, and severance payments • Payment and related tax reporting and remittance of non-qualified deferred compensation and equity-based compensation • Products produced and/or services provided • Compliance with OSHA regulations, EPA regulations, FLSA, FMLA, WARN, USERRA, and state and local equivalents and compliance with government contracting provisions • Compliance with federal, state, and local pay or play health care mandates and all such other similar federal, state and local legislation • Compliance with the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), including all organizing efforts and expenses related to a collective bargaining agreement and related benefits • Professional licensing requirements, fidelity bonding, and professional liability insurance • Ownership and protection of all client intellectual property rights • Compliance with the Code, COBRA, PPACA, and ERISA for client-sponsored employee benefit plans • For clients electing payroll tax deferrals and claiming tax credits under the FFCRA, the CARES Act, PPP, CAA, and ARPA (collectively, the “COVID Relief Programs”), the client has sole responsibility for determining eligibility under the programs and depositing deferred payroll tax amounts with the U.S. Treasury as they become due Concurrent Responsibilities • Implementation of policies and practices relating to the employee/employer relationship 9 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • Internal compliance with all federal, state and local employment laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ADEA, Title I of ADA, the Consumer Credit Protection Act and immigration laws and regulations We maintain employment practice liability insurance coverages (including coverages for our clients) to manage our exposure for various employee-related claims. Our incurred costs in excess of annual premiums with respect to this exposure have historically been insignificant to our operating results. Because we are a co-employer with the client for some purposes, it is possible that we could incur liability for violations of such laws, even if we are not responsible for the conduct giving rise to such liability. Our CSA ordinarily addresses this issue by providing that the client will indemnify us for liability incurred to the extent the liability is attributable to conduct by the client. Notwithstanding this contractual right to indemnification, it is possible that we could be unable to collect on a claim for indemnification and may therefore be ultimately responsible for satisfying the liability in question. In most instances, clients are required to remit their comprehensive service fees no later than the same day as the applicable payroll date by wire transfer or automated clearinghouse transaction. Although we are ultimately liable, as the employer for payroll purposes, to pay employees for work previously performed, we retain the ability to terminate immediately the CSA and associated WSEEs or to require prepayment, letters of credit, or other collateral upon deterioration in a client’s financial condition or upon non-payment by a client. These rights, the periodic nature of payroll, and the overall quality of our client base have resulted in an excellent overall collections history. PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions Clients Insperity’s PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions provide value-added, full-service human resources solutions we believe are most suitable to a specific segment of the small and medium-sized business community. We target successful businesses with approximately 10 to 5,000 employees that recognize the advantage in the strategic use of high-performance human resources practices. We have set a long-term goal to serve approximately 10% of the overall small and medium-sized business community in terms of WSEEs. We serve clients and WSEEs located throughout the United States. 10 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS By region, our revenue distribution for the year ended December 31, 2023, was as follows: Please read Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies,” for additional information related to the change in revenues by region. All prospective PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients are evaluated on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of employer-related risks entailing many factors, including (where permitted) industry and operations, workplace safety and workers’ compensation, unemployment history, operating stability, group medical information, human resources practices and other employer risks. As part of our client selection strategy, we strive to minimize offering our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions to businesses falling within certain specified NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes for those industries that we believe present a higher employer risk such as employee injury, high turnover or litigation. 11 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions client base is broadly distributed throughout a wide variety of industries as follows: This diverse client base lowers our exposure to downturns or volatility in any particular industry. However, our performance could be affected by a downturn in one of these industries or by general economic conditions within the small and medium-sized business community. We focus heavily on client retention. During 2023 and 2022, our retention rate was approximately 83% and 85%, respectively. For all PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, the average annual retention rate over the last five years was approximately 85%. Client attrition is attributable to a variety of factors, including: (1) client non-renewal due to price or service factors; (2) client business failure, sale, merger or disposition; (3) our termination of the CSA resulting from the client’s non-compliance or inability to make timely payments; and (4) competition from other PEOs or business services firms. Marketing and Sales As of December 31, 2023, we had 98 sales offices located in 45 markets. Our sales offices typically consist of seven to nine Business Performance Advisors (“BPAs”), a district sales manager, and an office administrator. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location. We identify markets using a systematic market evaluation and selection process. We continue to evaluate a broad range of factors in the selection process, using a market selection model that weighs various criteria that, based on our experience, we believe are reliable predictors of successful penetration. Among the factors we consider are: • market size, in terms of small and medium-sized businesses engaged in selected industries that meet our risk profile • market receptivity to PEO services, including the regulatory environment and relevant history with other PEO providers • existing relationships within a given market, such as vendor or client relationships 12 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • expansion cost issues, such as advertising and overhead costs • direct cost issues that bear on our effectiveness in controlling and managing the cost of our services, such as workers’ compensation and health insurance costs, unemployment risks, and various legal and other factors • a comparison of the services we offer to alternatives available to small and medium-sized businesses in the relevant market, such as the cost to the target clients of procuring services directly or through other PEOs • long-term strategy issues, such as the general perception of markets and our estimate of the long-term revenue growth potential of the market We develop a mix of national and local advertising media and a placement strategy tailored to each individual market. After selecting a market and developing our marketing mix, but prior to entering the market, we engage in an organized media and public relations campaign to prepare the market for our entry and to begin the process of generating sales leads. We market our services through various business promotions and a broad range of media outlets, including digital marketing, television, radio, newspapers, periodicals and direct mail. We employ public relations firms for most of our markets as well as advertising consultants to coordinate and implement our marketing campaigns. We have developed an inventory of television, radio and newsprint advertisements, which are utilized in this effort. We routinely seek to develop new marketing approaches and campaigns to capitalize on changes in the competitive landscape for our human resources services and to more successfully reach our target market. We have an agreement with the Professional Golf Association Champions Tour to be the title sponsor of the Insperity Invitational annually in The Woodlands, Texas (a suburb of Houston). In addition, we have an arrangement with Jim Nantz, a sports commentator, to serve as our national spokesperson. Our marketing campaigns use this event and the relationship with Mr. Nantz as a focal point of our brand marketing efforts. presented by UnitedHealthcare professional golf tournament held ™ ® Our organic growth model generates sales leads from six primary sources: direct sales efforts, digital advertising, traditional advertising, third-party channel programs, referrals, and marketing alliances. These leads result in initial presentations to prospective PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, and ultimately, prospective PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions client business profiles. A prospective PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions client’s business profile reflects information gathered by the BPA about the prospect’s employees, including base compensation, level of benefits, coverage options, job classification, state of employment and workers’ compensation classification. This information is used to generate a bid from our customized bid system, which applies Insperity’s proprietary pricing model to the census data. Concurrent with this process, we evaluate prospective clients through the previously described comprehensive employer risk analysis. Upon completion of a favorable employer risk evaluation, the BPA presents the bid and attempts to complete the sale and enroll the prospect. Our selling process typically takes approximately 90 days for clients with less than 150 employees, and 180 days or longer for middle market clients. The process can be extended during economic downturns. We have implemented a sales process that allows our BPAs to offer our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions or Workforce Acceleration, our traditional payroll solution, to each prospective client with which they meet. This strategy allows us to leverage the same sales force for all of our primary offerings and increases the ability of our BPAs to add clients to our Workforce Acceleration solution when the client is not prepared for PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions. This dual channel approach to selling attempts to reduce barriers to a company becoming a client and allows us to offer solutions better tailored to the specific needs of the business, including at renewal. Competition We provide a value-added, full-service human resources solution through our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, which we believe is most suitable to a specific segment of the small and medium-sized business community. This full-service approach is exemplified by our commitment to provide a high level of service and technology personnel, which has produced a ratio of corporate staff to WSEEs (the “staff support ratio”) that is higher than average for the PEO industry. Based on an analysis of the 2020 through 2022 annual NAPEO surveys of the PEO industry, we have successfully leveraged our full-service approach into significantly higher returns for Insperity on a per WSEE per month basis. During the three-year period from 2020 through 2022, our staff support ratio averaged 57% higher than the PEO industry average. During the same three-year period, our gross profit per WSEE and operating income per WSEE exceeded industry averages by 142% and 208%, respectively. 13 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS Competition in the PEO industry revolves primarily around quality of services, scope of services, choice and quality of benefits packages, reputation, and price. We believe reputation, national presence, regulatory expertise, financial resources, risk management, and information technology capabilities distinguish leading PEOs from the rest of the industry. We also believe we compete favorably in these areas; however, other PEOs may offer their PEO services at lower prices than we offer. Due to the differing geographic regions and market segments in which most PEOs operate, and the relatively low level of market penetration by the industry, we consider our primary competition for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions to be the traditional in-house provision of human resources services. The PEO industry is highly fragmented and we have seen competition intensify; however, we believe Insperity is one of the largest PEO service providers in the United States. Our largest national competitors include the PEO divisions of large business services companies such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and Paychex, Inc., and other national PEOs, such as TriNet Group, Inc, Vensure and Rippling. In addition, we also face competition from: (1) fee-for-service providers such as payroll processors and human resources consultants; (2) human resources technology solution companies; and (3) large regional PEOs in certain areas of the country. Vendor Relationships Insperity provides benefits to its WSEEs under arrangements with a variety of vendors. We consider our contracts with UnitedHealthcare (“United”) and the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies (“Chubb”) to be the most significant elements of our employee benefits package, as they would be the most difficult to replace. We provide group health insurance coverage to our WSEEs through a national network of carriers including United, UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii and Tufts (known as Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC) beginning in 2024), all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts. The health insurance contract with United provides approximately 87% of our participants’ health insurance coverage and expires on December 31, 2026, subject to cancellation by either party upon 180 days’ notice. For a discussion of our contract with United, which is accounted for using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model, please read Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Benefits Costs.” Our workers’ compensation coverage (the “Chubb Program”) has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb (formerly ACE) since 2007. The Chubb Program is a fully insured program whereby Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policies regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. The current workers’ compensation coverage with Chubb expires on September 30, 2024. In the event we are unable to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms, significant disruption to our business could occur. For additional discussion of the Chubb Program, which includes terms shifting some of the financial responsibility for claims to us, please read Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Workers’ Compensation Costs.” Information Technology Insperity utilizes a variety of information technology capabilities to provide its PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions and business performance improvement services to its clients and WSEEs and for its own administrative and management information requirements. Insperity’s PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions information systems, which include Insperity Premier, are a proprietary mix of applications that includes both internally developed software, licensed software applications and cloud-based services. These systems manage a wide range of transactions and information specific to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, to Insperity and to our clients and WSEEs, including: • WSEE enrollment • human resources management and employee administration • benefits and defined contribution plan administration • time and attendance collection and administration 14 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • payroll processing • client invoicing and collection • management information and reporting • sales bid calculations Central to these systems are transaction processing capabilities that allow us to process a high volume of employee enrollment, employee administration, payroll, invoice and bid transactions that meet the specific needs of our clients and prospects. We administer our employee benefits through a proprietary application designed to process employee eligibility and enrollments, manage carrier relationships and maintain a variety of plan offerings. Our retirement services operations are conducted utilizing an industry-leading retirement plan administration application in a third-party hosted environment. Aspects of all of these components are delivered to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients and WSEEs through Insperity Premier. We utilize commercially available software and cloud-based solutions for other business functions such as finance and accounting, sales force activity management and customer relationship management. Insperity operates from two separate leased hosting facilities, one of which serves as our primary facility. These facilities host the majority of our business applications, information security and network infrastructure. Each hosting facility houses a mix of primary production applications, disaster recovery, replication and back-up applications, and pre-production environments. These hosting facilities have the capacity to run all of our critical business applications and have sufficient capacity to handle all of our operations on a stand-alone basis, if required. We have an active Business Continuity Plan, which includes information technology capabilities and we utilize a variety of measures to ensure our Business Continuity Plan remains effective and available. Our network infrastructure is designed to ensure appropriate connectivity exists among all of our facilities and provides appropriate Internet connectivity to conduct business with our clients and WSEEs. The network infrastructure is provided through industry standard core network hardware and via high-speed network services provided by multiple vendors. We have incorporated a variety of measures designed to maintain the security and privacy of the information managed through our systems and applications. These measures include industry standard technologies designed to protect, monitor and assess our data centers and network environment; best practice security policies and procedures; annual corporate employee training on data security and privacy; SOC- 1 reports prepared by independent firms regarding key systems; and a variety of measures designed to control access to sensitive and private information. Industry Laws and Regulations The operations for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions are affected by numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to tax, insurance and employment matters. By entering into a co-employer relationship with our WSEEs, we assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under these federal and state laws and regulations. Because many of these federal and state laws and regulations were enacted prior to the development of nontraditional employment relationships, such as PEOs, temporary employment and outsourcing arrangements, many of these laws and regulations do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of nontraditional employers. Currently, the federal government and 42 states have passed laws that either recognize PEOs, require licensing or registration of PEOs, or provide voluntary certification programs for PEOs, and several others are considering such regulation. The SBEA established a voluntary certification program and created a federal regulatory framework for the payment of wages to WSEEs and for the reporting and remittance of federal payroll taxes on those wages paid by CPEOs. Our PEO subsidiary, Insperity PEO Services, L.P., is a CPEO. Please read Item 1. “Business—PEO Industry” for further information. As an employer, we are subject to federal statutes and regulations governing the employer/employee relationship. Subject to the issues discussed below, we believe that our operations are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable federal statutes and regulations. Employee Benefit Plans We offer various employee benefits plans to eligible employees, including our WSEEs. These plans include: • a group health plan, which includes medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage 15 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS • a 401(k) retirement plan • cafeteria plans under Code Section 125 • a health savings account program • a welfare benefits plan, which includes life, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, critical illness, and accident insurance, as well as an employee well-being program • a health care flexible spending account plan • an educational assistance program • an adoption assistance program • a commuter benefits program Generally, employee benefit plans are subject to provisions of the Code, ERISA, and COBRA. The number and complex nature of federal and state regulations relating to employer-sponsored health plans has continued to increase over time. We believe that additional regulatory burdens placed on employers can increase the demand for our services because small and medium-sized businesses are especially challenged in their efforts to comply with governmental regulations due to limited resources and a lack of expertise. Employer Status and Employee Benefit Plans. We are the sponsor of the employee benefit plans that we offer to eligible WSEEs. Our plans are governed by ERISA and the Code. Our ability to sponsor these plans, to have them governed by ERISA, and to receive favorable tax treatment under the Code is dependent on our status as “employer” of the WSEEs. Employer status is determined under various rules, regulations, and interpretations. While we believe that we qualify as employer under applicable laws, please read Item 1.A. “Risk Factors – A determination that we are not the employer of our WSEEs and an inability to offer alternate benefit plans could have a material adverse effect on our business.” Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. For a discussion of the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on our business, please read Item 1A. “Risk Factors—PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions Risks—Health care reform could affect our health insurance plan and could lead to a significant disruption in our business.” 401(k) Retirement Plans. Our 401(k) Retirement Plan for WSEEs is operated pursuant to guidance provided by the IRS under Revenue Procedure 2002-21 and Revenue Procedure 2003-86, each of which provides guidance for the operation of defined contribution plans maintained by PEOs that benefit WSEEs. This guidance provides qualification standards for PEO plans that, if met, negate the inquiry of common law employer status for purposes of the exclusive benefit rule. All of Insperity’s 401(k) Retirement Plans have received determination letters from the IRS confirming the qualified status of the plans. Employment Taxes As a co-employer, Insperity generally assumes responsibility and liability for the payment of federal and state employment taxes with respect to wages and salaries paid to our WSEEs. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations included in Subtitle C — Employment Taxes of the Code: • withholding of income tax requirements governed by Code Section 3401, et seq. • obligations under FICA, governed by Code Section 3101, et seq. • obligations under FUTA, governed by Code Section 3301, et seq. Under these Code sections, employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of these taxes. The SBEA provides a CPEO shall be treated as the employer under Subtitle C – Employment Taxes of the Code and shall be responsible for reporting federal employment taxes on remuneration paid by the CPEO rather than the CPEO clients. 16 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS For any client CSA that is not a CPEO contract, Code Section 3401, which applies to federal income tax withholding requirements, contains an exception to the general common law test applied to determine whether an entity is an “employer” for purposes of federal income tax withholding. Code Section 3401(d)(1) states that if the person for whom services are rendered does not have control of the payment of wages, the “employer” for this purpose is the person having control of the payment of wages. The Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 3401(d)(1) state that a third party can be deemed to be the employer of workers under this section for income tax withholding purposes where the person for whom services are rendered does not have legal control of the payment of wages. While several courts have examined Code Section 3401(d)(1), its ultimate scope has not been delineated. Moreover, the IRS has to date relied extensively on the common law test of employment in determining liability for failure to comply with federal income tax withholding requirements. Accordingly, while we believe that we can assume the withholding obligations for WSEEs, in the event we fail to meet these obligations, the client may be held ultimately liable for those obligations. While this interpretive issue has not to our knowledge discouraged clients from enrolling with Insperity, there can be no assurance that a definitive adverse resolution of this issue would not do so in the future. These interpretive uncertainties may also impact our ability to report employment taxes on our own account rather than the accounts of our clients. Clients who elected to defer the employer portion of social security under the CARES Act have sole responsibility for reporting and depositing deferred amounts with the U.S. Treasury. Unemployment Taxes We record our state unemployment insurance (“SUI”) tax expense based on taxable wages and tax rates assigned by each state. State unemployment tax rates vary by state and are determined, in part, based on Insperity’s prior years’ compensation and unemployment experience in each state. Certain rates are determined, in part, by each client’s own compensation and unemployment experience. In addition, states have the ability under law to increase unemployment tax rates, including retroactively, to cover deficiencies in the unemployment tax funds. Rate notices are typically provided by the states during, or prior to, the first quarter of each year; however, some notices are received later. Until we receive the final tax rate notices, we estimate our expected SUI rate in those particular states. State Regulation While some states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, 42 states have adopted provisions for licensing, registration, certification or recognition of PEOs, and several others are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs, and in some cases codify and clarify the co-employment relationship for unemployment, workers’ compensation and other purposes under state law. We believe that we are in compliance with the material requirements in all 42 states that have such laws. Regardless of whether a state has licensing, registration or certification requirements for PEOs, we must comply with a number of other state and local regulations that could impact our operations. Human Capital We believe that our ability to attract and retain highly motivated and skilled corporate employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences is critical to our continued success. Our human capital management objective is to attract, develop, and retain qualified corporate employees as appropriate to support our growth, client service initiatives, and technology investments, while furthering our commitment to our culture, mission, and values. We had approximately 4,400 corporate employees as of December 31, 2023. We believe our relations with our corporate employees are good. None of our corporate employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The number of BPAs and trained BPAs impacts our ability to grow our customer base. We refer to BPAs who have been employed for two months and completed initial sales training as “trained BPAs.” During 2023 and 2022, the average number of BPAs were 748 and 669, respectively, while the average number of trained BPAs were 685 and 601, respectively. We offer numerous programs and benefits in furtherance of our human capital management objective, including: competitive compensation and benefits; corporate 401(k) retirement plan with a matching component; employee stock purchase program; leadership development programs; the Insperity MVP (Mission Values Performance) employee recognition program; flexible remote working arrangements; and employee benevolence programs to provide additional assistance to corporate employees in times of need. 17 2023 Form 10-K BUSINESS We monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our human capital management efforts by seeking formal and informal feedback from our corporate employees, including periodic surveys of our corporate employees to obtain their opinions on key topics. Intellectual Property Insperity currently has registered trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property. We believe that our trademarks as a whole are of considerable importance to our business. 18 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS Item 1A. Risk Factors. The statements in this section describe the known material risks to our business and should be considered carefully. Economic Risks Adverse economic conditions could negatively affect our industry, business, and results of operations. The small and medium-sized business market is sensitive to changes in economic activity levels as well as the credit markets. As a result, the demand for the outsourced HR services we provide clients could be adversely impacted by weak economic conditions or difficulty obtaining credit. Current and prospective clients may respond to such conditions by reducing employment levels, compensation levels, employee benefit levels and outsourced HR services. In addition, during periods of weak economic conditions, current clients may have difficulty meeting their financial obligations to us and may select alternative HR services at more competitive rates than we offer. Further, our growth is partially dependent on hiring of new employees by our existing clients, which may be negatively impacted during periods of tight labor markets, such as the low unemployment environment experienced during 2022 and 2023, and during economic slowdowns, such as the high unemployment levels experienced during 2020. Such developments could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and future growth rates. If we are unable to comply with or meet client expectations regarding certain COVID-19 relief programs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. A number of governmental programs and incentives were created to assist businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain of these programs and incentives have required us to make changes to our systems that manage leave, payroll and payroll-related tax calculation, invoicing and collection of service fees, COBRA participation, and client reporting. For example, the CARES Act allowed companies to defer certain payroll taxes, which were reflected in the payrolls we processed for those clients. Client companies are liable for repaying the deferred amounts to the IRS; however, the IRS has not yet clarified how such deferred amounts will be properly applied to companies utilizing a PEO and, if and when issued, such guidance may require further revisions to our systems or processes. In addition, further legislation may be enacted at the federal, state or local level that may require further changes to our processes and systems or that may expand the coverage afforded to WSEEs under our health and workers’ compensation insurance programs. Further, PEO clients are dependent on their PEO to process Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERC”) on a consolidated basis, including through amending previously filed payroll tax forms with the IRS. The IRS has experienced significant backlogs in processing amended tax forms from employers seeking ERC refunds and we are currently awaiting IRS review of a number of ERC claims with respect to our PEO clients. Currently, the deadline to submit any ERC claims for relevant periods in 2020 is April 2024, and the deadline for relevant periods in 2021 is April 2025. A pending federal bill, The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 (H.R. 7024), however, would retroactively accelerate the deadline for all claims to January 31, 2024. If any of the ERC claims that we made on behalf of our clients were denied or otherwise deemed insufficient, we may not be able to perfect our filings on a timely basis. Further, eligibility for the ERC is dependent on certain operational information of our clients. If the IRS were to determine that any of our clients were not eligible for the ERC requested on their behalf and conclude that we are responsible for those claims, or if the IRS were to otherwise challenge the claims we requested, we could face penalties or other liabilities. In either of those events, our clients may seek recourse against us or choose not to renew. If we experience rejection of any COVID-19 relief program claims on behalf of clients, are unable to timely make system changes needed to comply with other regulations, incur substantial additional costs in doing so, or are otherwise adversely affected by these requirements, then we may face fines, penalties, other regulatory action, or litigation relating to such failure, and we may not have insurance coverage for all or some of these liabilities. These events could further adversely impact our PEO state licenses or registrations, or our CPEO status, as well as our ability to attract and retain clients. As a result of the foregoing, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences. We use a U.S.-based global systemically important bank (or G-SIB) for our PEO operations, including our cash balances associated with that portion of our business. All of our cash deposits are held by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 19 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS (“FDIC”) insured banks, which amounts exceed the FDIC insurance limits. Through various overnight “sweep account” programs, we also invest a significant portion of our cash balances in U.S. Treasury-based funds, which are invested through brokerage firms affiliated with the banks at which our deposits are held. The failure of a bank or related brokerage firm that we use, or events involving limited liquidity, non- performance or other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets impacting financial institutions at which we maintain balances, or concerns or rumors about such events, may lead to disruptions in access to our cash balances, adversely impact our liquidity, including our ability to borrow under our credit facility, or limit our ability to process transactions related to our clients. In the event of a failure of a bank or other financial institution that holds our cash deposits, there can be no assurance that our deposits in excess of the FDIC or other comparable insurance limits will be recoverable or, even if ultimately recoverable, there may be significant delays in our ability to access those funds. Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in our credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, our clients may be adversely affected by any bank failure or other event affecting financial institutions. For example, in early 2023, some of our clients had deposits with banks that were placed into receivership. If those clients had been unable, or if our clients in the future are unable, to meet their obligations to us as a result of a bank failure or other event affecting financial institutions, we may be exposed to potential risks that could impact our financial condition or results of operations. If we were to fail to pay the liabilities that we have assumed associated with our WSEEs, we may be subject to fines or other penalties. Labor shortages, increasing competition for highly skilled workers, and evolving employee expectations regarding the workplace could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The success of our business is heavily dependent on our ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce, including in our service and sales positions. Several factors may limit the labor force available to us or increase our labor costs, including high employment levels, strong macroeconomic conditions, federal unemployment subsidies, and other governmental regulation. As macroeconomic conditions improved from 2021 through 2023, the labor market tightened, resulting in increased employee turnover and skilled labor shortages. Increasing competition for highly skilled and talented workers may make it increasingly difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain a service team capable of supporting our clients or a sales team that is effective in selling our complex service offerings to clients. An overall or prolonged labor shortage, increased turnover, or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on our growth plans, client service delivery, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, following the remote work environment that we implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic and a resulting shift in the expectations of our employees, many of our departments have now switched to a “hybrid” mode in which remote work is permitted one or more days per week. These changes may impact productivity or have other material impacts on our operations. Inflation may reduce our profitability. Inflationary pressure could adversely impact our profitability. Our operating costs have increased, and may continue to increase, due to the recent growth in inflation. We may not be able to fully offset these cost increases by raising prices for our services, particularly because our client agreements generally fix our pricing for a period of time, which could result in downward pressure on our profit margins. Further, our clients may choose to reduce their business with us if we increase our pricing. Geographic market concentration makes our results of operations vulnerable to regional economic factors. Our New York, California and Texas markets accounted for approximately 10%, 15% and 18% (including 7% in Houston), respectively, of our WSEEs for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, unless we are successful in expanding in our current markets and into new markets, which we believe will take additional time, for the foreseeable future, a significant portion of our revenues may be subject to economic, statutory, and regulatory factors specific to New York, California, and Texas. We are subject to covenants under our credit facility that may restrict our business and financing activities. Our failure to comply with these covenants may result in an acceleration of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 20 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS Our credit facility contains, and any future indebtedness of ours likely would contain, covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restricting our ability to: • incur additional indebtedness, • sell material assets, • retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, • acquire the capital stock or assets of another business, • enter into new lines of business, • make investments, and • pay dividends. In addition, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with the financial covenants may be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. Our failure to comply with these covenants, or any other terms of our indebtedness, could result in a default that may limit our ability to borrow additional amounts under our credit facility, which may adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, a default may allow our lenders to accelerate our obligation to repay the outstanding amounts under our credit facility. If we were unable to repay or refinance the accelerated indebtedness on favorable terms, then our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. A future outbreak of highly infectious or contagious diseases could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The spread of a highly infectious or contagious disease could create significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, including as a result of actions taken by businesses and governments in response to such a pandemic that may result in a significant reduction in commercial activity, such as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020. The extent to which future pandemics impact our business, operations, financial results and financial condition will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and that we may not be able to accurately predict. While such a pandemic is continuing and even after it has subsided, we may experience material adverse impacts to our business, operations and financial results due to any existing or continuing negative economic impact, including a recession, depression, or periods of supply shortages or high inflation, such as experienced in 2022 following the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, future pandemics may change how and when we incur health insurance costs under our health insurance contract with United, such as changes in quarterly levels and timing of both medical and pharmaceutical health insurance claims and processing payment patterns. Accordingly, future pandemics may present, material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and business. PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions Risks We assume liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes, benefits costs and workers’ compensation costs and are responsible for their payment regardless of the amount billed to or paid by our clients. Under the CSA, we become a co-employer of WSEEs and assume the obligations to pay the salaries, wages and related benefits costs and payroll taxes of such WSEEs. We assume such obligations as a principal, not as an agent of the client. Our obligations include responsibility for the following even if our costs to provide such benefits exceed the fees the client pays us and the amounts collected from WSEEs: • payment of the salaries and wages for work performed by WSEEs, regardless of whether the client timely pays us the associated service fee • withholding and payment of federal and state payroll taxes with respect to wages and salaries reported by Insperity • providing benefits to WSEEs 21 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS • providing workers’ compensation coverage to WSEEs Further, the increase in remote work, including by WSEEs, has complicated the calculation of payroll and unemployment taxes applicable to those individuals. We are dependent on our PEO Outsourcing Solutions clients to properly report the locations in which WSEEs perform services. If a regulatory authority were to determine that we did not properly calculate or transmit these amounts, then we could be subject to fines, penalties, or other liabilities, which we may not be able to recover from our clients. We may also need to devote additional resources and incur additional costs to modify our systems to address any such compliance issues. If a client does not pay us, if the costs of services we provide to WSEEs exceed the fees a client pays us, or if we incur fines and penalties as a result of an adverse determination related to our payroll and unemployment tax calculations, our ultimate liability for WSEE payroll, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation and/or benefits costs, as well as any fines or penalties, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Increases in health insurance costs or our inability to secure replacement health insurance coverage on competitive terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Maintaining health insurance plans that cover WSEEs is a significant part of our business. Our primary health insurance contract expires on December 31, 2026, subject to cancellation by either party upon 180 days’ notice. In the event we are unable to secure replacement contracts on competitive terms, significant disruption and harm to our business could occur. Health insurance costs are in part determined by our plans’ claims experience and comprise a significant portion of our direct costs. Our health insurance coverage is provided under policies or service contracts that are fully insured. United is the carrier that insures the majority of our coverage. Although all of our carriers remain responsible to pay all covered claims, under our health insurance contract with United, we retain an obligation to United to fund the cost of the plan. The profitability of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions is affected by the overall expenses associated with the cost of delivering our services, one of the largest of which is the cost of our health insurance. Our ability to accurately anticipate the expenses associated with the plans, including claims costs on a quarterly or annual basis, can impact our results of operations. If the plans experience an unexpected increase in the number or severity of claims, our associated health insurance costs could increase beyond anticipated levels, as we experienced in 2021 and 2023. These costs are further impacted by a number of factors, including coverage options elected by employees, macro-economic changes, proposed and enacted regulatory changes and wide-spread health- related outbreaks. Contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs associated with the plans, which could substantially impair our financial condition or results of operations. Further, if the overall pricing of our services includes cost assumptions based on inaccurate forecasts of plan expenses, our profitability or our ability to attract and retain clients may be adversely impacted. As a result, if we do not accurately forecast the costs of our plans, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. For additional information related to our health insurance costs, please read Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Benefits Costs.” Health care reform could affect our health insurance plan and could lead to a significant disruption in our business. Many of our clients select a PEO Outsourcing Solution pursuant to which we offer the health and welfare benefit plans sponsored by us to the WSEEs co-employed by those clients. The future impact and direction of healthcare reform, including future legislative actions, is unknown and, if any such developments were to reduce our ability to make health care benefits available to WSEEs or were to make our offerings less attractive to our clients, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Supporters in various states have advocated and continue to advocate for adoption of health care-related reforms at the state level, which has the potential to significantly change the insurance marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses and how employers provide insurance to employees. Additionally, guidance by the IRS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has not addressed or in some instances is unclear as to the application of certain aspects of federal health care reform laws in the PEO relationship or whether such provisions should be applied at the PEO or client level. Various states have adopted or are considering reforms that may impact the requirements for or availability of PEO-sponsored health plans. At this time, the insurance market reforms have not had a material adverse impact on our 22 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS business operations, and if any future changes impact our ability to attract and retain clients, or our ability to increase service fees to offset any increased costs, then our business may be materially adversely affected. Subsequent changes resulting from action that may be taken at the federal or state level may impact our benefit plans, business model and future results of operations, including repeal or repeal and replacement of current healthcare reform provisions as has been advocated by some Congressional leaders. In future periods, changes may result in increased costs to us and could affect our ability to attract and retain clients. Additionally, contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs. We are currently unable to determine whether potential future healthcare reform changes or other regulatory action, including at the state level, may adversely affect our business or market conditions. A determination that we are not the employer of our WSEEs and an inability to offer alternate benefit plans could have a material adverse effect on our business. In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code, employee benefit plans must be established and maintained by an employer for the exclusive benefit of its employees. Generally, an entity is an “employer” of individuals for federal employment tax purposes if an employment relationship exists between the entity and the individuals under the common law test of employment. In addition, the officers of a corporation are deemed to be employees of that corporation for federal employment tax purposes. The common law test of employment, as applied by the IRS, involves an examination of approximately 20 factors to ascertain whether an employment relationship exists between a worker and a purported employer. Generally, the test is applied to determine whether an individual is an independent contractor or an employee for federal employment tax purposes and not to determine whether each of two or more companies is a “co-employer.” Substantial weight is typically given to the question of whether the purported employer has the right to direct and control the details of an individual’s work. Among the factors that appear to have been considered more important by the IRS are: • the employer’s degree of behavioral control (the extent of instructions, training and the nature of the work) • the financial control or the economic aspects of the relationship • the intended relationship of the parties (whether employee benefits are provided, whether any contracts exist, whether services are ongoing or for a project, whether there are any penalties for discharge/termination, and the frequency of the business activity) Employee retirement and welfare benefit plans are also governed by ERISA. ERISA defines “employer” as “any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an employer, in relation to an employee benefit plan.” ERISA defines the term “employee” as “any individual employed by an employer.” The United States Supreme Court has held that the common law test of employment must be applied to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor under ERISA. A definitive judicial interpretation of “employer” in the context of a PEO or employee leasing arrangement has not been established. If Insperity were found not to be an employer with respect to WSEEs for ERISA purposes, its plans would not comply with ERISA and/or the Code. Further, as a result of such finding, Insperity and its plans would not enjoy, with respect to WSEEs, the preemption of state laws provided by ERISA and could be subject to varying state laws and regulations as well as to claims based upon state common laws. In addition, if Insperity were found not to be the employer sponsoring a single-employer plan under ERISA for purposes of its health benefits plan, we could be subject to additional requirements under state and federal laws that could restrict our ability to provide benefits to our WSEEs in the same manner that we do today, which could negatively impact our business. In the case of any such events, we would endeavor to make available similar benefits at comparable costs in a manner that complied with applicable state laws. However, if we were unable to promptly transition our benefit plans to a compliant structure with terms that were acceptable to our clients and at a comparable cost to us, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Increases in workers’ compensation costs or inability to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms could lead to a significant disruption and harm to our business. Our workers’ compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb since 2007. Under our current arrangement with Chubb for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have a financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed the first $1 million. Effective for claims incurred on or after 23 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS October 1, 2019, our financial responsibility increased as we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million. Chubb bears the financial responsibility for all claims in excess of these levels. The Chubb Program is a fully insured program whereby Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policies regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. For additional discussion of our policy with Chubb, please read Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Workers’ Compensation Costs.” Workers’ compensation costs are a significant portion of our direct costs and contractual arrangements and competitive market conditions may limit or delay our ability to increase service fees to offset any associated potential increased costs. If we were to experience an unexpected large increase in the number or severity of claims, our workers’ compensation costs could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, if the overall pricing of our services includes cost assumptions based on inaccurate forecasts of our workers’ compensation costs, our profitability or our ability to attract and retain clients may be adversely impacted. The current workers’ compensation coverage with Chubb expires on September 30, 2024. In the event we are unable to secure replacement coverage on competitive terms, significant disruption to our business could occur. Our ability to adjust and collect service fees for increases in unemployment tax rates may be limited. We record our SUI expense based on taxable wages and tax rates assigned by each state. SUI tax rates vary by state and are determined, in part, based on prior years’ compensation experience in each state. Prior to the receipt of final rate notices, we estimate our expected SUI rate in those states for which rate notices have not yet been received for purposes of forecasting and pricing. In a period of adverse economic conditions, state unemployment funds may experience a significant increase in the number of unemployment claims. Accordingly, SUI rates would likely increase substantially. Some states have the ability under law to increase SUI rates retroactively to cover deficiencies in the unemployment fund. In addition, FUTA may be retroactively increased in certain states in the event the state fails to timely repay federal unemployment loans, as we recently experienced with California and New York in 2023. Generally, our contractual agreements allow us to incorporate such statutory increases into our service fees upon the effective date of the rate change. However, our ability to fully adjust service fees in our billing systems and collect such increases over the remaining term of the clients’ contracts could be limited, resulting in a potential increase not being fully recovered. As a result, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Many of our contracts for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions may be canceled on short notice. Our inability to renew client contracts or attract new clients could materially and adversely affect our financial conditions or results of operations. Our standard CSA can generally be canceled by us or the client with 30 days’ notice. Accordingly, the short-term nature of the CSA makes us vulnerable to potential cancellations by existing PEO HR Outsourcing solution clients, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Our middle market sector, which we generally define as those companies with employees ranging from approximately 150 to 5,000 WSEEs, represented 26% of our average paid WSEEs and clients with an average number of WSEEs that exceed 1,000 WSEEs represented 6% during 2023. In the event we have large clients that terminate or an increase in terminating clients from our middle market client base, the financial impact of such an event could be significant. Also, our results of operations are dependent in part upon our ability to retain or replace our clients upon the termination or cancellation of the CSA. Our client attrition rate was approximately 17% in 2023. There can be no assurance that the number of contract cancellations will continue at these levels and such cancellations may increase in the future due to various factors, including economic conditions in the markets we operate. Clients electing to purchase our services or electing an alternative solution often do so at the beginning of the calendar year. As a result, we typically experience our largest concentration of new client additions and attrition in the first quarter of each year. Our loss of insurance coverage, the failure of our insurance carriers or increased insurance costs or deductibles could have a material adverse effect on us. As part of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, in addition to our health insurance carriers, we contract with other insurance carriers to provide workers’ compensation insurance and employment practices liability insurance. In addition, we obtain insurance coverage for various commercial risks in our business such as property insurance, errors and 24 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS omissions insurance, cyber liability insurance, general liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and ERISA bond coverage, automobile liability insurance, and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The failure of any insurance carrier, such as occurred in 2001 with respect to a previous workers’ compensation insurance provider, providing such coverage could leave us exposed to uninsured risk and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, in the event that our primary health carriers in any key market make material changes to their network of health care providers or facilities, such as the discontinuation of prominent hospital networks in key markets on occasion by a carrier in connection with their ongoing negotiations with those networks, then our ability to attract and retain clients in that market may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Further, we have experienced an increase in insurance premiums for our corporate policies as well as an increase in the deductible amounts for which we retain liability and a decrease in coverage limits. If these premiums or deductible amounts continue to increase, or coverage limits continue to decrease we would have increased exposure with respect to costs and insurance claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. A determination that a client is liable for employment taxes not paid by a PEO may discourage clients from contracting with us in the future. Under the CSA, we assume sole responsibility and liability for paying federal employment taxes imposed under the Code with respect to wages and salaries we pay our WSEEs. There are essentially three types of federal employment tax obligations: • income tax withholding requirements • FICA • FUTA Under the Code, employers have the obligation to withhold and remit the employer portion and, where applicable, the employee portion of these taxes. The SBEA clarifies that a CPEO is treated as the employer for purposes of federal payroll taxes on wages it pays to WSEEs. Most states impose similar employment tax obligations on the employer. While the CSA provides that we have sole legal responsibility for making these tax contributions, the applicable state taxing authority could conclude that such liability cannot be completely transferred to us. Accordingly, in the event that we fail to meet our tax withholding and payment obligations, the client may be held jointly and severally liable for those obligations. While this interpretive issue has not, to our knowledge, discouraged clients from enrolling with Insperity, a definitive adverse resolution of this issue may discourage clients from enrolling in the future. New and higher federal, state and local taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In times of economic slowdowns, the federal government and states and municipalities in which we operate may experience reductions in tax revenues and corresponding budget deficits. In response to budget shortfalls, such as those being experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government and many states and municipalities have in the past and may in the future increase or enact new taxes on businesses operating within their tax jurisdiction, including business activity taxes and income taxes. In addition, federal, state and local taxing agencies may increase their audit activity in an effort to identify additional tax revenues. New tax assessments on our operations could result in increased costs. Further, the Biden Administration and Congressional leaders have expressed support for reviewing federal taxes and potential increases in federal tax rates for businesses. Our ability to adjust our service fees and incorporate additional tax assessments into our billing system could be limited. As a result, such higher taxes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We may be subject to liabilities for client and employee actions. As a co-employer in the PEO relationship, we assume or share many of the employer-related responsibilities and assist our clients in complying with many employment-related governmental regulations. A number of legal issues remain unresolved with respect to the co- employment arrangement between a PEO and its WSEEs, including questions concerning the ultimate liability for violations of employment, payroll, discrimination, and workplace safety laws. Our CSA establishes the contractual division of responsibilities between Insperity and our clients for various human capital management matters, including compliance with and liability under various governmental regulations. 25 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS Because we act as a co-employer, we may be subject to liability for violations of various employment, payroll, discrimination, and workplace safety laws despite these contractual provisions, even if we do not participate in such violations. Although the CSA generally requires the client to indemnify us for certain liabilities attributable to the client’s conduct, we may not be able to collect on such a contractual indemnification claim and thus may be responsible for satisfying such liabilities to the extent that such liabilities are not covered or insured against under our insurance policies. In addition, WSEEs may be deemed to be our agents, which may subject us to liability for the actions of such WSEEs. Changes in federal, state and local regulation or our inability to obtain licenses under new regulatory frameworks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. As a major employer, our operations are affected by numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to labor, tax, benefit, insurance and employment matters. By entering into a co-employer relationship with employees assigned to work at client locations, we assume certain obligations and responsibilities of an employer under these laws. However, many of these current laws (such as the Act, ERISA, and some state insurance codes and employment tax laws) do not specifically address the obligations and responsibilities of non- traditional employers such as PEOs, and the definition of “employer” under these laws is not uniform despite the SBEA having provided clarification under federal employment tax laws for CPEOs. In addition, many of the states in which we operate have not addressed the PEO relationship for purposes of compliance with applicable state laws governing the employer/employee relationship or PEO health insurance plans. Any adverse application of, or adverse legislative/regulatory response to, new or existing federal or state laws to the PEO relationship with our WSEEs and client companies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. While some states do not explicitly regulate PEOs, 42 states have passed laws that have recognition, licensing, certification or registration requirements for PEOs and several other states are considering such regulation. Such laws vary from state to state, but generally provide for monitoring the fiscal responsibility of PEOs, and in some cases codify and clarify the co-employment relationship for unemployment, workers’ compensation and other purposes under state law. In addition, the SBEA provides certain benefits for companies that qualify as a CPEO. While we generally support licensing regulation because it serves to validate the PEO relationship, we may not be able to satisfy licensing requirements or other applicable regulations for all states. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew our licenses in all states or that we will be able to maintain our CPEO designation. Certain state and federal regulators are more closely evaluating the existing regulatory framework governing money services businesses and money transmitters in their jurisdictions, particularly following the high-profile failures in 2019 of several national payroll companies. While we maintain that we are not a money services business or money transmitter, the adoption of new, or changes in interpretations of existing, state and federal money transmitter or money services business statutes, or disagreements by regulatory authorities with our interpretation of such statutes or regulations, could subject us to registration or licensing or result in limitations on our business activities until we are appropriately licensed, and such additional regulation and the actions of the regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. These occurrences could also require changes to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. In addition, should any state or federal regulators make a determination that we have operated as an unlicensed money services business or money transmitter, we could be subject to civil and criminal fines, penalties, costs, legal fees, reputational damage or other negative consequences, which could be material. Further, if we were to be deemed to be subject to other regulatory requirements applicable to other businesses, such as rules or regulations applicable to new services that we may offer such as earned wage access, then we may need to hire additional personnel, incur additional costs in order to maintain compliance, or be subjected to fines, penalties, or other liabilities, which could be material. 26 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS Competition and other developments in the HR services industry may impact our growth and/or profitability. The human resources services industry, including the PEO industry, is highly fragmented. Many PEOs have limited operations and fewer than 2,500 WSEEs, but there are several industry participants that are comparable to our size or larger. We also encounter competition from “fee for service” companies such as payroll processing firms, insurance companies, human resources consultants and human resources technology solutions as well as cloud-based self-service bundled human resources offerings. Our competitors include the PEO divisions of large business services companies, such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and Paychex, Inc., and other national PEOs such as TriNet Group, Inc., Vensure, and Rippling. In many cases, these competitors offer a reduced service PEO offering at a lower price than our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions. We expect that as the PEO industry grows and its regulatory framework becomes better established, well organized competition with greater resources than we have may enter the PEO market, possibly including large “fee for service” companies currently providing a more limited range of services. In addition, competitors may be able to offer or develop new technology-based lower service models that may require us to make substantial investments in order to effectively compete. We offer a lower priced reduced service level PEO offering referred to as Workforce Synchronization in response to certain middle market client needs and the evolving PEO marketplace. As of December 2023, approximately 14% of our WSEEs were co-employed by Workforce Synchronization clients. In the event we were to experience a significant increase in the number of clients using the Workforce Synchronization offering or increased pricing pressures in the PEO marketplace without corresponding reductions in operating costs, our operating margins may decline, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Technology Risks Evolving regulations, market trends and client expectations require us to constantly enhance and expand our service and technology offerings. The HR services industry is experiencing rapid technological advances to meet client expectations and expanding regulations. As new regulations are adopted, we must modify our systems to address these changes in the law, such as our recent efforts to implement the assistance provided to businesses and employees under the Covid Relief Programs and Secure 2.0 Act of 2022. In order to make these types of modifications, we may be required to reallocate resources, potentially resulting in delays to planned competitive improvements to our systems. If we do not successfully or timely deploy these types of modifications, we may be unable to comply with regulations, which could subject us to penalties, damage our reputation or result in decreased sales. Further, in order to effectively compete in this environment, we must identify and predict trends, and adapt our technology and service offerings accordingly. In addition, as a larger portion of our client base falls within the middle market segment, we must also develop different technology and services to meet the more complex needs and demands of this key group. These efforts require us to devote substantial resources to develop new functionality, or to integrate third-party solutions, into our offerings. If we fail to respond successfully to these developments or we make investments in enhancements that are not accepted by the market, then the demand for our solutions and services may diminish. Disruptions of our information technology systems could damage our reputation and materially disrupt our business operations. Many of the HR services offerings we provide to clients are conducted through a technology infrastructure using both internally developed and purchased commercial software, a wide variety of hardware infrastructure technologies, and a multi-carrier wide area network. The processing of payroll, benefits and other transactions is dependent upon this complex infrastructure, some of which is provided by third-party vendors. We must manage all of these systems, and are dependent on third parties to manage the systems that we obtain from them, including any upgrades, replacements or enhancements, to ensure that they continue to support our services. For example, we are currently working on a multi-year project to replace our sales force automation system and our customer relationship management (“CRM”) system with a single CRM solution to be used widely across the company. We continue to monitor and make changes to our proprietary system for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions for compliance and modernization. Any delays or failures resulting from network outages; planned upgrades, enhancements, or replacements of software, hardware, or other systems, including in connection with our CRM replacement project or any updated for compliance and modernization of systems; or other data processing disruptions, even for a brief period of time, could result in our inability to timely process transactions. The speed with which we, or third-party vendors, are able to address significant cybersecurity incidents may be influenced by the cooperation of certain government agencies. We may also incur significant costs in the future to 27 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS protect against damage or disruptions that could be caused by cybersecurity incidents. If such failures cause us to not meet client service expectations or to breach our obligations to our clients, we may lose existing clients, have difficulty attracting new clients, incur regulatory penalties or liability to our clients, or suffer other financial losses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We could be subject to reduced revenues, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our competitive position as a result of data theft, cyberattacks or other security vulnerabilities. In connection with our offerings, we collect, use, transmit and store large amounts of personal and business information about our WSEEs, employees paid under our traditional payroll solution, and clients, including payroll information, personal and business financial data, social security numbers, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information. Attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, and we and our third-party vendors are targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses. Hardware or applications we develop or procure from third-party vendors may contain defects in design or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access and disable or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we and our third-party vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Further, our increased reliance on remote access to our information systems as our employees work remotely impacts our control over cybersecurity protection and service stability and performance, which increases our exposure to cybersecurity and privacy issues. As these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to invest significant additional resources to modify and enhance our information security and controls or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. We have limited ability to monitor the implementation of similar safeguards by our vendors and do not have the ability to monitor such implementation by our clients or their employees, including WSEEs. In addition, our services also involve the use and disclosure of personal and business information to us that could be used by a malicious party to commit identity theft or otherwise gain access to the data or funds of our clients or their employees, including WSEEs. If any person, including any corporate employee, misappropriates or misuses such funds, documents or data, we may have liability for damages, and our reputation could be substantially harmed and we may have other liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any cyberattack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service attack, ransomware attack, corruption of data, theft of private or other sensitive information, or similar malicious act by a party (including our employees), or inadvertent acts or omissions by our vendors or our own employees, could result in the loss, disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, and could have a material adverse effect on our business operations or that of our clients, result in liability or regulatory sanction, or cause a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients. We may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for losses from a security incident. Accordingly, the impact of a data security incident could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to comply with privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences. We are subject to various laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, transmission and security and privacy of personal and business information. Most states and the District of Columbia have enacted notification rules that may require notification to regulators, clients or employees in the event of a privacy breach. In addition, new laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. It is possible that these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. For example, we incurred additional costs and reallocated internal resources in order to comply with the requirements of the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), which amended the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and became effective on January 1, 2023, which has required us to reallocate additional resources in order to manage compliance in light of the changes implemented by the CPRA. Other states have adopted or are currently contemplating additional privacy requirements. Generally, these laws do not address the coemployment relationship, which requires us to make determinations as to the requirements applicable to our 28 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS WSEEs and our PEO Outsourcing Solutions clients. The future enactment of similar laws, rules or regulations, or an adverse determination as to the applicability of these laws, rules, or regulations to us, could have a material adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses and noncompliance could result in regulatory penalties and significant liability. Additionally, any failure by us to comply with these laws and regulations, including as a result of a security or privacy breach, could result in significant penalties and liabilities for us. The failure of third-party providers, such as financial institutions, data centers, or cloud-service providers, could have a material adverse effect on us. In conjunction with providing services to clients, we communicate and rely on financial institutions to electronically transfer funds for the collection of our comprehensive service fee as well as the payment of wages and associated payroll tax withholdings. Communication failures or other failures involving these financial institutions, for any reason, could cause material interruptions to our operations, impact client retention, and result in significant penalties or liabilities to us. We lease hosting facilities for our data centers at two separate facilities with one facility acting as our primary data center. These facilities host the majority of our business applications, telecommunications equipment, information security infrastructure, and network equipment. If our data centers experience any interruptions or outages, and our business continuity plan is delayed or fails, then our operations may be materially impacted, which could result in our failure to meet our obligations to our clients, WSEEs, tax authorities, and/or other vendors, which could damage our reputation, subject us to liability, and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, some of our systems and services rely upon third-party technology. Examples include, the human capital management system on which our Workforce Acceleration solution is based, the data analytics solution on which our Insperity People Analytics solution is based, and the payroll tax calculation and reporting tools that provide the rates used to calculate payroll taxes for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, among others. Any failure by these service providers to deliver their services in a timely manner and in compliance with applicable laws could result in material interruptions to our operations; subject us to substantial fines, penalties, and other liabilities; damage our reputation; and result in a loss of clients. Other Operational Risks We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic partnership and plans to develop a joint solution with Workday, Inc., which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have announced a strategic partnership and plans to develop a joint solution with Workday, Inc. (“Workday”). The success of the strategic partnership and joint solution will depend on many factors, and we may not realize all, or any, of the anticipated benefits. We expect to devote substantial resources and incur significant costs to develop the joint solution. The strategic partnership and plans to develop a joint solution involve numerous risks, including that we may be unable to complete the development and implementation of the joint solution, or that development and implementation of the joint solution may be more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected. We may also not receive the expected sales, marketing, and other benefits from the strategic partnership. The full benefit of the strategic partnership requires the cooperation of the two companies on sales, marketing, and technology matters, as well as our ability to successfully integrate and implement the Workday-based solution with our other processes and systems in a manner that allows us to maintain compliance as a professional employer organization and incorporate appropriate financial and management systems and controls. In addition, we may fail to effectively market or sell the joint solution, or there may be less demand than anticipated for the joint solution. The initiatives related to the strategic partnership, including the development of the joint solution, may divert the attention of our technology, service, compliance, marketing, sales, management, and other teams away from our existing business solutions, which could result in the loss of existing or prospective clients or fines, penalties, or other liabilities if our existing business solutions and compliance are disrupted. We may also have conflicts or disagreements with Workday, which could disrupt the strategic partnership, could impact the development of the joint solution, and could lead to termination of the strategic partnership. The occurrence of one or more of these events could result in our failure to achieve anticipated growth or revenues, or require us to devote additional resources to the strategic partnership or the development of the joint solution, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 29 2023 Form 10-K RISK FACTORS Failure to integrate or realize the expected return on future product offerings, including through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and investments, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have adopted a strategy to market and sell additional solutions within and outside of our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions. As part of this strategy, periodically we make strategic long-term decisions to partner with, invest in and/or acquire new companies, business units or assets in order to offer new or enhanced solutions. Offering new solutions involves a number of risks such as entering markets or businesses in which we have no prior experience and that may be highly regulated; failing to integrate the new solution into our product and service offerings; diversion of technology, service, compliance, marketing, sales, management and other teams from other business concerns; in the case of an investment or acquisition, over-valuation of the targeted business; and litigation or government action resulting from the activities of an acquired company or from offering the new solution in a non-compliant manner. The occurrence of one or more of these events could result in the loss of existing or prospective clients or employees, not achieving anticipated revenues or profitability, impairment of acquired assets, and substantial liability. Such developments could have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations, and future growth rates. 30 2023 Form 10-K OTHER INFORMATION Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity. We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining a robust cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance program in order to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information. Board Oversight of Cybersecurity Matters Our Board has established oversight mechanisms to help ensure effective governance in managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats. In addition to the updates that our Board receives on cybersecurity matters, the Board’s Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee (the “FRMA Committee”) is tasked with overseeing enterprise risk management. The FRMA Committee reviews and discusses major risk exposures with management, including cybersecurity risks, and steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our guidelines and policies concerning risk assessment and management. Management of and Reporting on Cybersecurity Matters Our management assumes responsibility for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents. In particular, our Senior Vice President of Innovative Technology Solutions (“SVP-ITS”) is responsible for our overall technology strategy, including overseeing our information security function and plays a pivotal role in assessing and managing all cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents. The SVP-ITS reports directly to our President and Chief Operating Officer (“President and COO”) and maintains regular dialogue with our President and COO and other key members of our senior management to ensure these individuals are appropriately apprised of our latest cybersecurity posture and developments, such as new threats, incidents, risks, and risk management solutions. Our SVP-ITS prepares reports for each regular Board meeting regarding significant developments in these topics to support the Board in its efforts to have appropriate information to exercise oversight on critical cybersecurity issues. Our current SVP-ITS has decades of experience overseeing leading systems and software development efforts with critical cybersecurity components. The SVP-ITS is supported by dedicated information technology and security personnel and resources, including team members that have numerous cybersecurity certifications. Collectively, these personnel and resources allow us to strategically integrate cybersecurity into our broader risk management framework and decision-making process. We also have an Enterprise Risk Management Steering Committee (the “ERM Steering Committee”), which is responsible for formally identifying and evaluating risks that may affect our ability to execute our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives, including cybersecurity risks. The ERM Steering Committee is chaired by the Company’s chief financial officer and includes the Company’s SVP-ITS, general counsel, internal audit director, and other members of management. The ERM Steering Committee conducts an annual comprehensive risk review of our overall risk profile and analyzes any significant identified risks, including consideration of risks relating to cybersecurity matters, which the ERM Steering Committee then presents and discusses with the FRMA Committee and the entire Board. In addition to the formal annual review, members of the ERM Steering Committee review and provide periodic updates as appropriate regarding our overall risk profile and any significant identified risks to both the FRMA Committee and the entire Board. We have processes in place that we believe are designed to allow our information security team and management to be informed of and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks. These processes include establishing a formal incident response team, penetration testing, system vulnerability scanning, phishing simulations, tabletop exercises, employee security and compliance training, disaster recovery planning, and other exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of our information security program and improve our security measures and planning. 31 2023 Form 10-K OTHER INFORMATION Engagement of Third Parties on Risk Management Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, we engage with a range of external experts, including cybersecurity consultants and systems auditors, in evaluating and testing our risk management systems. Our collaboration with these third parties includes regular audits, threat and vulnerability assessments, incident response plan design and testing, penetration testing, and consultation on improving our defense-in-depth security posture. Overseeing Third-Party Risk We have processes in place designed to help us identify and oversee cybersecurity risks associated with our use of vendors, service providers, business partners, and other third parties that process our data on our behalf or have access to our systems. These processes include a vendor management policy designed to identify and consider potential risks from third parties as part of the vendor section process, which considers vendor cybersecurity standards and other factors based on the nature of the services that the vendor will provide. Impact on the Company We have experienced, and may continue to experience, cyber incidents in the normal course of our business. However, prior cybersecurity incidents have not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For further discussion, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors – Disruptions of our information technology systems could damage our reputation and materially disrupt our business operations” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors - We could be subject to reduced revenues, increased costs, liability claims, or harm to our competitive position as a result of data theft, cyberattacks or other security vulnerabilities.” 32 2023 Form 10-K PROPERTIES Item 2. Properties. We believe our current real estate and facilities are adequate for the purposes for which they are intended and provide for further expansion to accommodate our long-term growth and expansion goals. We believe that short-term leased facilities are readily available if needed to accommodate near-term needs if they arise. We will continue to evaluate the need for additional facilities based on the extent of our product and service offerings, the rate of client growth, the geographic distribution of our client base and our long-term service delivery requirements. Corporate Facilities Our corporate headquarters is located in Kingwood, Texas, in a campus-style facility. This 33-acre company-owned office campus includes 700,000 square feet of office space and approximately 6 acres of undeveloped land for future expansion. Development and support operations are located in the Kingwood facility. We currently lease three hosting facilities, totaling approximately 2,300 square feet, that are in different locations. The hosting facilities house the majority of our business applications, telecommunications equipment and network equipment. The facilities, located in Allen, Texas, Austin, Texas, and Bryan, Texas, are under lease until 2028, 2030, and 2024, respectively. Service Centers We currently have four regional service centers located in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles. The Atlanta service center, which currently services approximately 35% of our WSEE base, is located in a 47,800 square foot facility under lease until 2035. The Dallas service center, which currently services approximately 22% of our WSEE base, is located in a 45,000 square foot facility under lease until 2031. In addition to the service center operations, the facility also contains sales operations. The Houston service center, which currently services approximately 22% of our WSEE base, is located on our corporate campus. The Los Angeles service center, which currently services approximately 21% of our WSEE base, is located in a 39,000 square foot facility under lease until 2029. In addition to the service center operations, the facility also contains sales operations. Sales and Service Offices As of December 31, 2023, we had sales and service personnel in 83 facilities located in 45 sales markets throughout the United States. All of the facilities are leased and some are shared by multiple sales offices and/or client service personnel. As of December 31, 2023, we had 98 sales offices in these 45 markets. To take advantage of economic efficiencies, multiple sales offices may share a physical location. Each sales office is typically staffed by seven to nine BPAs, a district sales manager and an office administrator. In addition, we have placed certain client service personnel in a majority of our sales markets to provide high-quality, localized service to our clients in those major markets. We expect to continue placing client service personnel in sales markets as a critical mass of clients is attained in each market. 33 2023 Form 10-K LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business that we believe would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies,” which is incorporated herein by reference. 34 2023 Form 10-K MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Item 4.

Executive Summary Overview Our long-term strategy is to provide the best small and medium-sized businesses in the United States with our specialized human resources service offering and to leverage our buying power and expertise to provide additional valuable services to clients. Our most comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Workforce Optimization and Workforce Synchronization solutions (together, our “PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions”), which encompass a broad range of human resources functions, including payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, government compliance, performance management and training and development services, along with our cloud-based human capital management solution, our Insperity Premier measured in terms of revenues, gross profit or adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month. We often use the average number of WSEEs paid during a period as our unit of measurement in analyzing and discussing our results of operations. platform.

These other products or services generally are offered only with our other solutions. solution, our traditional payroll solution. We also offer a number of other business performance TM 2023 Highlights • Average number of WSEEs paid per month increased 5.8% to 312,102. Revenues increased 9.2% on the 5.8% WSEE growth and a 3.2% increase in revenue per WSEE. • We ended 2023 averaging 315,072 paid WSEEs in the fourth quarter of 2023, which represents a 2.5% increase over the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect the average number of paid WSEEs per month to be between 318,350 and 321,500 for the full year 2024, an increase of 2% to 3%. • Approximately 26.1% and 24.9% of our average paid WSEEs were in our middle market sector for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is generally defined as companies with 150 to 5,000 WSEEs. • Gross profit increased 2.5% to $1.0 billion. The increase was primarily due to the 5.8% growth in the average number of WSEEs paid per month, which was partially offset by a 3.1% decrease in gross profit per WSEE. Gross profit per WSEE paid per month reflected, in part, a 3.2% pricing increase offset by a 4.5% increase in direct costs per WSEE. The increase in direct costs per WSEE was primarily attributable to a 6.6% increase in benefits costs per participant. • Operating expenses increased 7.5% in 2023 to $818.3 million, and included increases in travel and event costs, salary and wages, and the implementation of a CRM solution. On a per WSEE per month basis, operating expenses increased from $215 in 2022 to $219 in 2023. • Net income and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) decreased 4.4% and 3.7% to $171.4 million and $4.47, respectively. • Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.4% to $353.6 million. 40 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS • Adjusted net income decreased 2.0% to $211.7 million. • Adjusted EPS decreased 1.3% to $5.52. • Our adjusted EBITDA per WSEE per month decreased 6.0% from $100 in 2022 to $94 in 2023. • We ended 2023 with working capital of $159.0 million. • During 2023, we paid $84.2 million in dividends, repurchased approximately 1,259,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $131.5 million and paid $40.1 million in capital expenditures. Please read “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Revenues We account for our revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions gross billings to clients include the payroll cost of each WSEE at the client location and a markup computed as a percentage of each WSEEs payroll cost. We invoice the gross billings concurrently with each periodic payroll of our WSEEs. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings, and therefore, consist solely of the markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite. This markup includes pricing components associated with our estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus a separate component related to our HR services. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced represent unbilled accounts receivable included in accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our revenues are primarily dependent on the number of clients enrolled, the resulting number of WSEEs paid each period and the number of WSEEs enrolled in our benefit plans. Because our total markup is computed as a percentage of payroll cost, certain revenues are also affected by the payroll cost of WSEEs, which may fluctuate based on the composition of the WSEE base, inflationary effects on wage levels and differences in the local economies of our markets. Direct Costs The primary direct costs associated with revenue-generating activities for our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions are: • employment-related taxes (“payroll taxes”) • costs of employee benefit plans • workers’ compensation costs Payroll taxes consist of the employer’s portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes under FICA, federal unemployment taxes and state unemployment taxes. Payroll taxes are generally paid as a percentage of payroll cost. The federal unemployment tax rates are defined by federal regulations. State unemployment tax rates are subject to claim histories and vary from state to state. Employee benefits costs are comprised primarily of health insurance premiums and claims costs (including dental and pharmacy costs), but also include costs of other employee benefits such as life insurance, vision care, disability insurance, education assistance, adoption assistance, a flexible spending account program and an employee well-being program. Workers’ compensation costs include administrative and risk charges paid to the insurance carrier, and claims costs, which are driven primarily by the frequency and severity of claims. Gross Profit Our gross profit per WSEE is primarily determined by our ability to accurately estimate and control direct costs and our ability to incorporate changes in these costs into the gross billings charged to PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, which are subject to pricing arrangements that are typically renewed annually. We use gross profit per WSEE per month as our principal measurement of relative performance at the gross profit level. 41 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating Expenses • Salaries, wages and payroll taxes — Salaries, wages and payroll taxes (“salaries”) are primarily a function of the number of corporate employees, their associated average pay and any additional cash incentive compensation. Our corporate employees include client services, sales and marketing, benefits, legal, finance, information technology, administrative support personnel and those associated with our other products and services. • Stock-based compensation — Our stock-based compensation relates to the recognition of non-cash compensation expense over the requisite service period of time-vested and performance-based incentive plan awards. • Commissions — Commissions expense consists primarily of amounts paid to sales managers and other sales personnel, including BPAs as well as channel referral fees. Commissions are based on new accounts sold and a percentage of revenue generated by such personnel. • Advertising — Advertising expense primarily consists of media advertising and other business promotions in our current and anticipated sales markets, including the Insperity Invitational™ presented by UnitedHealthcare® sponsorship. • General and administrative expenses — Our general and administrative expenses primarily include: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ rent expenses related to our service centers and sales offices outside professional service fees related to legal, consulting and accounting services administrative costs, such as postage, printing and supplies employee travel and training expenses facility costs, including repairs and maintenance technology costs, including software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) subscription costs and amortization of SaaS implementation costs • Depreciation and amortization — Depreciation and amortization expense is primarily a function of our capital investments in corporate facilities, service centers, sales offices, software development and technology infrastructure. Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense) includes interest charges incurred in connection with borrowings under our credit facility and interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and deposits. Please read “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information. Income Taxes Our provision for income taxes typically differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, due primarily to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses, vesting of equity awards and various tax credits. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant items resulting in deferred income taxes include prepaid assets, accruals for workers’ compensation expenses, stock-based compensation, software development costs, accrued incentive compensation, operating lease assets and liabilities and depreciation. Changes in these items are reflected in our financial statements through a deferred income tax provision. Please read Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Income Taxes,” for additional information. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and 42 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to health and workers’ compensation insurance claims experience, client bad debts, income taxes, property and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, and contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the following accounting policies are critical and/or require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements: • Benefits costs — We provide group health insurance coverage under a single-employer plan that covers both our WSEEs in our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions and our corporate employees and utilizes a national network of carriers including United, UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii and Tufts (known as Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC) beginning in 2024), all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts. The health insurance contract with United provides the majority of our health insurance coverage. As a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Accordingly, we record the costs of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”), as benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The estimated incurred but not reported claims are based upon: (1) the level of claims processed during the quarter; (2) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (3) the number of participants in the plan, including both active and COBRA enrollees. Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics and other factors are incorporated into the benefits costs. Effective January 1, 2020, we entered into an arrangement whereby our financial responsibility is limited to the first $1 million of paid claims per claimant per year. Additionally, since the plan’s inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. If the Plan Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the plan would be incurred and we would accrue a liability for the excess costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the other hand, if the Plan Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the plan would be incurred and we would record an asset for the excess premiums in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the arrangement with United require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9.0 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid insurance. As of December 31, 2023, Plan Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $23.5 million. As this amount is less than the agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level, the $32.5 million difference is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the premiums owed to United at December 31, 2023, were $6.5 million, which is also included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe that recent claim development patterns are representative of incurred but not reported claims costs during the reporting period. The estimated completion rate used to compute incurred but not reported claims involves a significant level of judgment. Accordingly, an increase (or decrease) in the completion rate used to estimate the incurred claims would result in an increase (or decrease) in benefits costs and net income would decrease (or increase) accordingly. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of changes in the completion rate on our estimate of total benefits costs of $3.0 billion in 2023: Change in Completion Rate Change in Benefits Costs (in thousands) Change in Net Income (in thousands) $ (2.5)% (1.0)% 1.0% 2.5% $ 22,744 9,098 (9,098) (22,744) (29,871) (11,948) 11,948 29,871 43 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS • Workers’ compensation costs — Since 2007, our workers’ compensation coverage has been provided through an arrangement with Chubb. The Chubb Program is fully insured in that Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. Under the Chubb Program for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1 million. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million. Because we bear the financial responsibility for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires judgment. We utilize a third-party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of WSEEs’ job responsibilities, the location of WSEEs, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we reduced accrued workers’ compensation costs by $33.5 million and $42.2 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior reporting periods. Workers’ compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate was 4.3% in 2023 and 2.9% in 2022) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Our claim trends could be greater than or less than our prior estimates, in which case we would revise our claims estimates and record an adjustment to workers’ compensation costs in the period such determination is made. If we were to experience any significant changes in actuarial assumptions, our loss development rates could increase (or decrease), which would result in an increase (or decrease) in workers’ compensation costs and a resulting decrease (or increase) in net income reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of changes in the loss development rate on our estimate of workers’ compensation costs totaling $74.1 million in 2023: Change in Loss Development Rate Change in Workers’ Compensation Costs (in thousands) Change in Net Income (in thousands) $ (5.0)% (2.5)% 2.5% 5.0% $ (3,926) (1,963) 1,963 3,926 2,987 1,494 (1,494) (2,987) At the beginning of each policy period, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”). The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated WSEE payroll levels and expected workers’ compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits, a long-term asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2023, we received $46.3 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program, which decreased deposits – workers’ compensation. As of December 31, 2023, we had restricted cash of $57.4 million and deposits – workers’ compensation of $198.2 million. We have estimated and accrued $220.3 million in incurred workers’ compensation claim costs as of December 31, 2023. Our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is recorded as accrued workers’ compensation costs and is included in short-term liabilities, while our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid beyond one year is included in long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 44 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS New Accounting Pronouncements We believe that we have implemented the accounting pronouncements with a material impact on our financial statements and do not believe there are any new or pending pronouncements that will materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

Average client retention also declined from 85% in 2022 to 83% in 2023. • During 2022, the average number of WSEEs paid from new client sales increased 16.4% from 2021. Average client retention improved from 82% in 2021 to 85% in 2022, while the net gain in our client base continued, at higher than historical levels, although lower than 2021, a period when many clients were rehiring employees as the pandemic conditions improved.

As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings. Our gross profit per WSEE is primarily determined by our ability to accurately estimate direct costs and our ability to incorporate changes in these costs into the gross billings charged to PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions clients, which are subject to pricing arrangements that are typically renewed annually. We use gross profit per WSEE per month as our principal measurement of relative performance at the gross profit level. Gross Profit and Year-over-Year Growth Percentage (in thousands) Gross Profit per WSEE per Month and Year-over-Year Growth Percentage (per WSEE per month) 2023 Compared to 2022 Our pricing objectives attempt to achieve a level of revenue per WSEE that matches or exceeds changes in primary direct costs and operating expenses. Our revenues per WSEE per month increased $54 due to higher average pricing of 3.2%. The net decrease in direct costs between 2023 and 2022 attributable to the changes in cost estimates for benefits and workers’ compensation totaled $16.4 million as discussed below. The $63 per WSEE per month increase in direct costs is due primarily to the direct cost components changes as follows: Benefits costs • The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits increased $44 per WSEE per month, or 6.6% on a cost per covered employee basis. • The percentage of WSEEs covered under our health insurance plans was 65.0% in 2023 compared to 65.4% in 2022. • Reported results include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods, which was a decrease in costs of $13.0 million, or $3 per WSEE per month, in 2023 compared to an increase in costs of $12.1 million, or $3 per WSEE per month, in 2022.

Please read “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Workers' Compensation Costs” for a discussion of our accounting for workers’ compensation costs. Payroll tax costs • Payroll taxes increased 8.9% on a 7.2% increase in payroll costs, or $18 per WSEE per month. • Payroll taxes as a percentage of payroll costs increased to 6.5% in 2023 compared to 6.4% in 2022. 2022 Compared to 2021 The net increase in direct costs between 2022 and 2021 attributable to the changes in cost estimates for benefits and workers’ compensation totaled $6.7 million as discussed below. The $12 per WSEE per month increase in direct costs is due primarily to the direct cost component changes as follows: Benefits costs • The cost of group health insurance and related employee benefits decreased $9 per WSEE per month, but increased 1.2% on a per covered employee basis. • The percentage of WSEEs covered under our health insurance plans was 65.4% in 2022 compared to 67.0% in 2021. • Reported results include changes in estimated claims run-off related to prior periods, which was an increase in costs of $12.1 million, or $3 per WSEE per month, in 2022 compared to an increase in costs of $4.9 million, or $2 per WSEE per month, in 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables below. Non-GAAP Measure Definition Non-bonus payroll cost Non-bonus payroll cost is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of bonus payrolls paid to our WSEEs. Bonus payroll cost varies from period to period, but has no direct impact to our ultimate workers’ compensation costs under the current program. Benefit of Non-GAAP Measure Our management refers to non-bonus payroll cost in analyzing, reporting and forecasting our workers’ compensation costs. We include these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency related to the costs incurred under our current workers’ compensation program. Adjusted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities Excludes funds associated with: • federal and state income tax withholdings, • employment taxes, • other payroll deductions, and • client prepayments. EBITDA Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus: • interest expense, • income tax expense, • depreciation and amortization expense, and • amortization of SaaS implementation costs. Adjusted EBITDA Represents EBITDA plus: • non-cash stock-based compensation. Adjusted net income Adjusted EPS Represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: • non-cash stock-based compensation. Represents diluted net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: • non-cash stock-based compensation. We believe that the exclusion of the identified items helps us reflect the fundamentals of our underlying business model and analyze results against our expectations, against prior periods, and to plan for future periods by focusing on our underlying operations. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and improves their ability to understand and assess our operating performance.

To meet short-term liquidity requirements, which are primarily the payment of direct costs and operating expenses, we rely primarily on cash from operations. Longer- term projects, large stock repurchases or significant acquisitions may be financed with public or private debt or equity. We have a revolving credit facility (“Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions with a current borrowing capacity of $650 million. The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and stock repurchases. We have in the past sought, and may in the future seek, to raise additional capital or take other steps to increase or manage our liquidity and capital resources. We had $708.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2023, of which approximately $510.1 million was payable in early January 2024 for withheld federal and state income taxes, employment taxes and other payroll deductions, and approximately $27.6 million represented client prepayments that were payable in January 2024. At December 31, 2023, we had working capital of $159.0 million compared to $158.5 million at December 31, 2022. We currently believe that our cash on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and availability under the Facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for 2024. We intend to rely on these same sources, as well as public and private debt or equity financing, to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital needs. As of December 31, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370.4 million under the Facility. Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long-Term Debt,” for additional information. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities in 2023 was $198.5 million. Our primary source of cash from operations is the comprehensive service fee and payroll funding we collect from our clients. Our cash and cash equivalents, and thus our reported cash flows from operating activities, are significantly impacted by various external and internal factors, which are reflected in part by the changes in our balance sheet accounts. These include the following: • Timing of client payments / payroll taxes — We typically collect our comprehensive service fee, along with the client’s payroll funding, from clients no later than the same day as the payment of WSEE payrolls and associated payroll taxes. Therefore, the last business day of a reporting period has a substantial impact on our reporting of operating cash flows. For example, many WSEEs are paid on Fridays; therefore, operating cash flows decrease in the reporting periods that end on a Friday or a Monday. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the last business day of the reporting period was a Friday, client prepayments were $27.6 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $510.1 million. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the last business day of the reporting period was also a Friday, client prepayments were $36.8 million and employment taxes and other deductions were $504.8 million. • Workers’ compensation plan funding — During 2023 and 2022, we received $46.3 million and $30.2 million, respectively, for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program, which resulted in an increase in working capital. 56 2023 Form 10-K MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS • Medical plan funding — Our health care contract with United establishes participant cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. Therefore, changes in the participation level of the United plan have a direct impact on our operating cash flows. In addition, changes to the funding rates, which are solely determined by United based primarily upon recent claim history and anticipated cost trends, also have a significant impact on our operating cash flows. As of December 31, 2023, Plan Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $23.5 million, which is $32.5 million less than our agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level. The $32.5 million difference is therefore reflected as a current liability and $9.0 million is reflected as a long- term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023. In addition, the premiums owed to United at December 31, 2023, were $6.5 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. • Operating results — Our adjusted net income has a significant impact on our operating cash flows. Our adjusted net income decreased 2.0% to $211.7 million in 2023, compared to $215.9 million in 2022. Please read “Results of Operations.” Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash flows used in investing activities were $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to property and equipment purchases of $40.1 million, partially offset by $18.4 million of marketable securities maturities and dispositions, net of purchases. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash flows used in financing activities were $155.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We paid $84.2 million in dividends and repurchased or withheld $131.5 million in stock. In addition, client funds liability and other financing activities increased by $60.7 million. Seasonality, Inflation and Quarterly Fluctuations Our quarterly earnings are impacted by the seasonal nature of our medical claims costs and payroll taxes. Typically, medical claims costs tend to increase throughout the year with the fourth quarter being the period with the highest costs, which has a negative impact on our fourth quarter earnings. This trend is primarily the result of many WSEEs’ medical plan deductibles being fully met by the fourth quarter, which increases our liability with respect to those claims. We have also experienced variability on a quarterly basis in medical claims costs based on the unpredictable nature of large claims . Payroll taxes and associated billings are computed based on an employee’s annual taxable wage base. The annual payroll tax wage bases are frequently met in the first two quarters of each year depending on the employee’s compensation levels. As a result, the gross profit contribution from payroll taxes is typically higher in the first two quarters and declines in the latter half of each year. These historical trends may change and other seasonal trends may develop in the future. For further information related to our health insurance costs, please read “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Benefits Costs.” We believe the effects of inflation have not had a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition; however, inflationary pressure could adversely impact our profitability in the future. 57 2023 Form 10-K QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are primarily exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and the effects of those fluctuations on the market values of our cash equivalent short-term investments and our available-for-sale marketable securities. In addition, borrowings under our Facility bear interest at a variable market rate. As of December 31, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit and borrowings totaling $370.4 million under the Facility. Please read Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long-Term Debt,” for additional information. Our cash equivalent short-term investments consist primarily of overnight investments, which are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk, except to the extent that changes in interest rates will ultimately affect the amount of interest income earned on these investments. Our available-for-sale marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk because these securities generally include a fixed interest rate. As a result, the market values of these securities are affected by changes in prevailing interest rates. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk primarily through diversification and low investment turnover. Our investment policy is designed to maximize after-tax interest income while preserving our principal investment. As a result, our marketable securities consist of tax-exempt short and intermediate-term debt securities, which are primarily U.S. Treasury bills, as well as pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. Government Securities.

None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15a-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023. Design and Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we included a report of management’s assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal controls as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, also audited our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report and the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit report are included in our 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements under the captions entitled “Management’s Report on Internal Control” and “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” and are incorporated herein by reference. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Management’s Report on Internal Control Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID: 42) Consolidated Balance Sheets Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and (Deficit) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-2 F-4 F-5 F-6 F-7 F-8 F-9 F-11 F-1 2023 Form 10-K CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Insperity, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insperity, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 8, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates. F-2 2023 Form 10-K CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Description of the Matter Estimation of the Cost of Incurred but Not Reported Health Insurance Claims As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements under “Health Insurance Costs”, the Company provides the majority of its health insurance coverage to its employees through a fully insured health insurance policy with UnitedHealthcare (“United”). While the policy with United is a fully insured plan, as a result of certain contractual terms, the Company accounts for this plan using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Accordingly, the Company records the cost of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees, as benefits expense, which is a component of Payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The estimated incurred but not reported claims under the Company’s United insurance policy are based upon: (i) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (ii) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (iii) the number of participants in the plan. Auditing management’s estimate of the cost of incurred but not reported health insurance claims was subjective and judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the medical reserve. Estimating incurred but not reported claims is subjective due to the large number of plan participants and the possibility that the number, nature, magnitude, and the timing of processing of current period claims may not be comparable to historical results experienced by the Company. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the estimation process, including, among others, controls over the completeness and accuracy of the data used to estimate the cost of incurred health insurance claims and the review and approval processes that management has in place for the assumptions applied and the calculation of the cost of incurred health insurance claims. Our audit procedures included, among others, assessing (i) the Company’s health insurance cost estimation methodology, (ii) significant assumptions used to develop the medical completion rates, which includes the incurred but not reported component, (iii) the accuracy and completeness of the claims processed data used in the Company’s computation, as well as (iv) the historical accuracy of management’s estimates of the cost of incurred health insurance claims. Our testing of the medical completion rate assumptions included comparing the completion rate assumptions used by management to the completion rates experienced in historical periods and assessing whether contrary evidence exists with respect to the completion rate assumptions utilized by the Company to estimate the cost of incurred health insurance claims. Furthermore, we involved our actuarial specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company’s methodology and compared the Company’s estimate to a range developed by our actuarial specialists based on the historical claim data and independently selected assumptions. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1991. Houston, Texas February 8, 2024 F-3 2023 Form 10-K CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL The Company has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013 framework). The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, has been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that is included herein. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting included testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls. In management’s opinion, the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in the COSO 2013 framework. /s/ Paul J.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Insperity, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Insperity, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and our report dated February 8, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Houston, Texas February 8, 2024 F-5 2023 Form 10-K December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INSPERITY, INC.

(“Insperity” or “we”, “our”, and “us”) provides an array of human resources (“HR”) and business solutions designed to help improve business performance. Since our formation in 1986, we have evolved from being solely a professional employer organization (“PEO”), an industry we pioneered, to our current position as a comprehensive business performance solutions provider. We were organized as a corporation in 1986 and have provided PEO services since inception. Our most comprehensive HR services offerings are provided through our Workforce Optimization and Workforce Synchronization solutions (together, our “PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions”), which encompass a broad range of human resources functions, including payroll and employment administration, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, government compliance, performance management and training and development services, along with our cloud-based human capital management platform, known as Insperity Premier TM . TM ® In addition to our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions, we offer a comprehensive traditional payroll and human capital management solution, known as our Workforce Acceleration solution (our “Traditional Payroll Solution”). We also offer a number of other business performance solutions, including Recruiting Services, Employment Screening, Retirement Services, and Insurance Services. These other products and services generally are offered only with our other solutions. TM We provide our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions by entering into a co-employment relationship with our clients, under which Insperity and its clients each take responsibility for certain portions of the employer-employee relationship. Insperity and its clients designate each party’s responsibilities through its Client Service Agreement (“CSA”), under which Insperity becomes an employer of the employees who work at the client’s location (“WSEE”) for most administrative and regulatory purposes. As a co-employer of our WSEEs, we assume many of the rights and obligations associated with being an employer. We enter into an employment agreement with each WSEE, thereby maintaining a variety of employer rights, including the right to hire or terminate employees, the right to evaluate employee qualifications or performance, and the right to establish employee compensation levels. Typically, Insperity only exercises these rights in consultation with its clients or when necessary to ensure regulatory compliance. The responsibilities associated with our role as employer include the following obligations with regard to our WSEEs: (1) to compensate our WSEEs through wages and salaries; (2) to pay the employer portion of payroll-related taxes; (3) to withhold and remit (where applicable) the employee portion of payroll- related taxes; (4) to provide employee benefit programs; and (5) to provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage. In addition to our assumption of employer status for our WSEEs, our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions also includes other human resources functions for our clients to support the effective and efficient use of personnel in their business operations. To provide these functions, we maintain a significant staff of professionals trained in a wide variety of HR functions, including employee training, employee recruiting, employee performance management, employee compensation and employer liability management. These professionals interact and consult with clients on a daily basis to help identify each client’s service requirements and to ensure that we are providing appropriate and timely human capital management services. Revenue and Direct Cost Recognition We enter into contracts with our customers for human resources services based on a stated rate and price in the contract. Our contracts generally establish pricing for a period of 12 months and are generally cancellable at any time by either party with 30-days’ notice. Our performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered each month. The term between invoicing and when our performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. Our payment terms typically require payment concurrently with the invoicing of our PEO services. We do not have significant financing components or significant payment terms. Our revenue is generally recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Customers are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of its WSEEs. Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced F-11 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS represent unbilled accounts receivable of $668.9 million and $600.4 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and are included in accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pursuant to the “practical expedients” provided under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, we expense sales commissions when incurred because the terms of our contracts are cancellable by either party with a 30-day notice. These costs are recorded in commissions in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of our WSEEs. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings and therefore consist solely of the markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as WSEEs perform their service at the client worksite. In determining the pricing of the markup component of our gross billings, we take into consideration our estimates of the costs directly associated with our WSEEs, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, our operating results are significantly impacted by our ability to accurately estimate our direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of our gross billings. Revenues are comprised of gross billings less WSEE payroll costs as follows: (in thousands) Gross billings Less: WSEE payroll cost Revenues Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 $ $ 43,141,366 $ 36,655,495 6,485,871 $ 40,126,910 $ 34,188,092 5,938,818 $ 33,318,693 28,345,623 4,973,070 Consistent with our revenue recognition policy, our direct costs do not include the payroll cost of our WSEEs. Our direct costs associated with our revenue generating activities are primarily comprised of all other costs related to our WSEEs, such as the employer portion of payroll- related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers’ compensation insurance costs.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that could potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk include accounts receivable and marketable securities. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities We invest our excess cash in federal government and municipal-based money market funds and debt instruments of U.S. municipalities. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable securities in current assets. We account for marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. We determine the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of our investments in marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, were reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity (deficit). The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts from the date of purchase to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income as an addition to or deduction from the coupon interest earned on the investments. We use the specific identification method of determining the cost basis in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of our available-for-sale securities. Realized gains and losses are included in other income. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Property and equipment, net consisted of the following: (in thousands) Land Buildings and improvements Computer hardware and software Software development costs Furniture, fixtures and other Property and equipment, gross Accumulated depreciation and amortization Property and equipment, net December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 $ $ 6,215 $ 217,274 145,206 137,337 51,849 557,881 (360,457) 197,424 $ 6,215 207,740 141,856 123,967 50,835 530,613 (330,621) 199,992 F-13 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows: Buildings and improvements Computer hardware and software Software development costs Furniture, fixtures and other Useful Life 5 — 30 years 2 — 5 years 3 — 5 years 5 — 7 years Software development costs relate primarily to software code development, systems integration and testing of our proprietary professional employer information systems and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally three years. We recognized $13.8 million, $13.2 million and $10.9 million in amortization of capitalized software development costs in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unamortized software development costs were $33.3 million and $33.7 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that an impairment loss be recognized for assets to be disposed of or held-for-use when the carrying amount of an asset is deemed to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances were to indicate that any of our long-lived assets might be impaired, we would assess recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the applicable asset or asset group. In addition, we may record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from operating activities or upon disposal of the asset. Cloud Computing Arrangements We incur costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third party vendors. SaaS implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase. The capitalized costs are recorded in our short-term and long-term other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the cloud computing arrangement, typically a two to five year period. We recognized $5.7 million and $1.9 million in amortization of SaaS implementation costs in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Unamortized SaaS implementation costs were $23.7 million and $20.2 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Updates clarifying the lease guidance. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. We have lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components and have elected to account for these as a single lease component related to our other operating facilities. Please read Note 11, “Leases,” for additional information. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Our goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or when there is an indication that there has been a potential decline in the fair value of a reporting unit. Annually, we perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value has declined below its carrying value. This analysis considers various qualitative factors. Due to the nature of our business, all of our goodwill is associated with one reporting unit. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Based on the results of our analysis, no impairment loss was recognized in 2023, 2022 or 2021. F-14 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Health Insurance Costs We provide group health insurance coverage under a single-employer plan that covers both our WSEEs in our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions and our corporate employees and utilizes a national network of carriers, including UnitedHealthcare (“United”), UnitedHealthcare of California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, HMSA BlueCross BlueShield of Hawaii, and Tufts (known as Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC) beginning in 2024), all of which provide fully insured policies or service contracts. Approximately 87% of our costs related to health insurance coverage are provided under our policy with United. While the policy with United is a fully insured plan, as a result of certain contractual terms, we have accounted for this plan since its inception using a partially self-funded insurance accounting model. Effective January 1, 2020, under the amended agreement with United, we no longer have financial responsibilities for a participant’s annual claim costs that exceed $1 million (“Pooling Limit”). Accordingly, we record the cost of the United plan, including an estimate of the incurred claims, taxes and administrative fees (collectively the “Plan Costs”), as benefits expense, which is a component of direct costs, in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The estimated incurred but not reported claims are based upon: (1) the level of claims processed during each quarter; (2) estimated completion rates based upon recent claim development patterns under the plan; and (3) the number of participants in the plan, including both active and COBRA enrollees. Each reporting period, changes in the estimated ultimate costs resulting from claim trends, plan design and migration, participant demographics, and other factors are incorporated into the benefits costs, which requires a significant level of judgment. Additionally, since the plan’s inception, under the terms of the contract, United establishes cash funding rates 90 days in advance of the beginning of a reporting quarter. If the Plan Costs for a reporting quarter are greater than the premiums paid and owed to United, a deficit in the plan would be incurred and a liability for the excess costs would be accrued in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the other hand, if the Plan Costs for the reporting quarter are less than the premiums paid and owed to United, a surplus in the plan would be incurred and we would record an asset for the excess premiums in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the arrangement require us to maintain an accumulated cash surplus in the plan of $9.0 million, which is reported as long-term prepaid health insurance. In addition, United requires a deposit equal to approximately one day of claims funding activity, which was $6.5 million at December 31, 2023, and is included in deposits - health insurance as a long-term asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, Plan Costs were more than the net premiums paid and owed to United by $23.5 million. As this amount is less than the agreed-upon $9.0 million surplus maintenance level, the $32.5 million difference is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The premiums, including the additional quarterly premiums, owed to United at December 31, 2023 were $6.5 million, which is included in accrued health insurance costs, a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our benefits costs incurred in 2023 included a decrease of $13.0 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods, net of Pooling Limit. Our benefits costs incurred in 2022 included an increase of $12.1 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods. Our benefits costs incurred in 2021 included an increase of $4.9 million for changes in estimated run-off related to prior periods. Workers’ Compensation Costs Our workers’ compensation coverage for our WSEEs in our PEO HR Outsourcing Solutions has been provided through an arrangement with the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies or its predecessors (the “Chubb Program”) since 2007. The Chubb Program is fully insured in that Chubb has the responsibility to pay all claims incurred under the policy regardless of whether we satisfy our responsibilities. Under the Chubb Program, for claims incurred on or before September 30, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1 million. Chubb bears the financial responsibility for all claims in excess of these levels. Effective for claims incurred on or after October 1, 2019, we have financial responsibility to Chubb for the first $1.5 million layer of claims per occurrence and, for claims over $1.5 million, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $6 million per policy year for claims that exceed $1.5 million. Because we bear the financial responsibility for claims up to the levels noted above, such claims, which are the primary component of our workers’ compensation costs, are recorded in the period incurred. Workers’ compensation insurance includes ongoing health care and indemnity coverage whereby claims are paid over numerous years following the date of injury. Accordingly, the accrual of related incurred costs in each reporting period includes estimates, which take into account the ongoing development of claims and therefore requires a significant level of judgment. F-15 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We utilize a third-party actuary to estimate our loss development rate, which is primarily based upon the nature of WSEEs’ job responsibilities, the location of WSEEs, the historical frequency and severity of workers’ compensation claims, and an estimate of future cost trends. Each reporting period, changes in the actuarial assumptions resulting from changes in actual claims experience and other trends are incorporated into our workers’ compensation claims cost estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we reduced accrued workers’ compensation costs by $33.5 million, $42.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, for changes in estimated losses related to prior periods. Workers’ compensation cost estimates are discounted to present value at a rate based upon the U.S. Treasury rates that correspond with the weighted average estimated claim payout period (the average discount rate utilized in 2023 was 4.3% and in 2022 was 2.9%) and are accreted over the estimated claim payment period and included as a component of direct costs in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The following table provides the activity and balances related to incurred but not paid workers’ compensation claims: (in thousands) Beginning balance, January 1, Accrued claims Present value discount, net of accretion Paid claims Ending balance Current portion of accrued claims Long-term portion of accrued claims Total accrued claims Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 $ $ $ $ 229,408 $ 61,720 (13,430) (57,443) 220,255 57,403 162,852 220,255 $ $ $ 239,623 49,121 (9,517) (49,819) 229,408 49,779 179,629 229,408 The current portion of accrued workers’ compensation costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 includes $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of workers’ compensation administrative fees. The undiscounted accrued workers’ compensation costs were $250.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and $250.5 million as of December 31, 2022. At the beginning of each policy period, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier establishes monthly funding requirements comprised of premium costs and funds to be set aside for payment of future claims (“claim funds”). The level of claim funds is primarily based upon anticipated WSEE payroll levels and expected workers’ compensation loss rates, as determined by the insurance carrier. Monies funded into the program for incurred claims expected to be paid within one year are recorded as restricted cash, a short-term asset, while the remainder of claim funds are included in deposits – workers’ compensation, a long-term asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2023, we received $46.3 million for the return of excess claim funds related to the workers’ compensation program, which resulted in a decrease to deposits – workers’ compensation. At December 31, 2023, we had restricted cash of $57.4 million and deposits – workers’ compensation of $198.2 million. Our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid within one year is included in short-term liabilities, while our estimate of incurred claim costs expected to be paid beyond one year is included in long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Stock-Based Compensation At December 31, 2023, we have one stock-based employee compensation plan under which we may issue awards. We account for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. We generally make annual grants of unrestricted stock under our stock-based incentive compensation plan to our non-employee directors, and grants of restricted stock units to our officers and certain other employees. Restricted stock unit grants to officers and other employees generally vest over a period of three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are valued based on the fair value on date of grant and the associated expense, net of estimated forfeitures, and are F-16 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS recognized over the requisite service period. Stock grants issued to non-employee directors are 100% vested on the grant date. Our Insperity Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”) provides for performance based long-term compensation awards in the form of performance units to certain employees based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals. Each performance unit represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on our performance against certain targets. Performance units have a vesting schedule of three years. A portion of the LTIP grant to employees was considered a market-based performance award that cliff vests at the end of three years assuming continued employment and achievement of market-based performance goals. The fair value of each performance unit is the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each market-based performance unit was determined through use of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Over the performance period the number of shares expected to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based on the probability of achievement of the performance target. Company-Sponsored 401(k) Retirement Plans Under our 401(k) retirement plan for corporate employees (the “Corporate Plan”), we matched 100% of eligible corporate employees’ contributions, up to 6% of the employees’ eligible compensation in 2023 and 2022, and ranging from up to 3% to up to 6% of the employees’ eligible compensation in 2021. Matching contributions under the Corporate Plan are immediately vested. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, we made matching contributions on behalf of corporate employees to the Corporate Plan of $16.9 million, $14.4 million, and $8.2 million, respectively, and are included in salaries, wages and payroll taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Under our separate 401(k) retirement plan for WSEEs (the “Worksite Employee Plan”), the match percentage for WSEEs ranges from 0% to 6%, as determined by each client company. Matching contributions under the Worksite Employee Plan are immediately vested. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, we made matching contributions on behalf of WSEEs to the Worksite Employee Plan of $374.5 million, $328.5 million, and $244.1 million, respectively. Advertising We expense all advertising costs as incurred. Income Taxes We use the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Please read Note 7, “Income Taxes,” for additional information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

Fair Value Measurements We account for our financial assets in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors: • Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets using identical assets • Level 2 - significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs • Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs Fair Value of Instruments Measured and Recognized at Fair Value The following table summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of our financial assets: (in thousands) Money market funds U.S. Treasury bills Municipal bonds December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 $ 730,508 $ 730,508 $ 15,905 15,905 — — 746,413 746,413 — — — — — $ 735,475 $ 735,475 $ 29,703 3,365 29,703 — 768,543 765,178 — — 3,365 3,365 — — — Deposits - money market funds 22,292 22,292 Total $ 768,705 $ 768,705 $ — $ 768,543 $ 765,178 $ 3,365 Please read Note 2 “Other Balance Sheet Information,” for additional information. The municipal bond securities valued as Level 2 are primarily pre-refunded municipal bonds that are secured by escrow funds containing U.S. government securities. Our valuation techniques used to measure fair value for these securities during the period consisted primarily of third-party pricing services that utilized actual market data such as trades of comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs. The following is a summary of our available-for-sale marketable securities: (in thousands) December 31, 2023 U.S. Treasury bills December 31, 2022 U.S. Treasury bills Municipal bonds Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value 15,896 $ 9 $ — $ 15,905 29,782 $ 3,369 — $ — (79) $ (4) 29,703 3,365 $ $ As of December 31, 2023, the contractual maturities of all marketable securities in our portfolio were less than one year.

Our trade receivables, which represent outstanding gross billings to clients, are reported net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.1 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific accounts and by making a general provision for other potentially uncollectible amounts. We make an accrual at the end of each accounting period for our obligations associated with the earned but unpaid wages of our WSEEs and for the accrued gross billings associated with such wages. These accruals are included in accrued worksite employee payroll cost and unbilled accounts receivable; however, these amounts are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. We generally require clients to pay invoices for service fees no later than the same day as the applicable payroll date. As such, we generally do not require collateral.

Please read Note 1, “Accounting Policies,” for a discussion of our accounting policies for health insurance costs and workers’ compensation costs. 6. Long-Term Debt We have a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of up to $650 million. The Facility may be further increased to $700 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. Our obligations under the Facility are secured by 100% of the stock of our captive insurance subsidiary and are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries other than our captive insurance subsidiary and certain other excluded subsidiaries. At December 31, 2023, our outstanding balance on the Facility was $369.4 million, and we had an outstanding $1.0 million letter of credit issued under the Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $279.6 million. The Facility matures on June 30, 2027. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to an alternate base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR for term SOFR loans, in either case plus an applicable margin. Adjusted Term SOFR is a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate plus a spread adjustment, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.25% depending on the interest period and type of loan. Depending on our leverage ratio, the applicable margin varies (1) in the case of SOFR loans, from 1.50% to 2.25% and (2) in the case of alternate base rate loans, from 0.00% to 0.50%. The alternate base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate most recently published in The Wall Street Journal, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; and (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 2.00%. We also pay an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Facility at a rate of 0.25% per year. The average interest rate for 2023 was 6.88%. Interest expense and unused commitment fees are recorded in other income (expense). The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature. Covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business, make investments and pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with financial covenants limiting our total funded debt, minimum interest coverage ratio, and maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023. F-21 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we have no uncertain tax positions, and as a result, have made no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2020 through 2022 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States. The tax years 2019 through 2022 remain open to examination by various state tax authorities. 8. Stockholders' Equity During 2023, we repurchased or withheld an aggregate of 1,259,109 shares of our common stock, as described below. Repurchase Program Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”). The purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or directly from stockholders at prevailing market prices based on market conditions and other factors. During 2023, 1,062,598 shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program. On August 1, 2023, we announced that our Board authorized an increase of 2,000,000 shares that may be repurchased under the Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2023, we were authorized to repurchase an additional 1,969,562 shares under the Repurchase Program. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, imposes a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. During 2023, we recorded the applicable excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding F-23 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS liability for the excise tax payable in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Withheld Shares During 2023, we withheld 196,511 shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of long-term incentive and restricted stock unit awards. Dividends The Board declared and paid quarterly dividends as follows: (amounts per share) First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth quarter $ $ 2023 0.52 0.57 0.57 0.57 2022 0.45 0.52 0.52 0.52 During 2023 and 2022, we declared and paid dividends totaling $84.2 million and $76.6 million, respectively. Preferred Stock At December 31, 2023, 20 million shares of preferred stock were authorized. 9. Incentive Plans The Insperity, Inc. Incentive Plan, as amended, provides for options and other stock-based awards that have been and may be granted to eligible employees and non-employee directors of Insperity or its subsidiaries. The Incentive Plan permits stock options, including nonqualified stock options and options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, stock awards, phantom stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards and cash awards, all of which may or may not be subject to the achievement of one or more performance objectives. The purpose of the Incentive Plan generally is to retain and attract persons of training, experience and ability to serve as employees of Insperity and its subsidiaries and to serve as non-employee directors of Insperity, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of Insperity and its subsidiaries. The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). The Committee has the power to determine which eligible employees will receive awards, the timing and manner of the grant of such awards, the exercise price of stock options (which may not be less than market value on the date of grant), the number of shares and all of the terms of the awards. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Incentive Plan. However, no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant, with respect to outstanding grants, can be made without the participant’s prior consent. Stockholder approval of amendments to the Incentive Plan is necessary only when required by applicable law or stock exchange rules. Assuming all outstanding performance-based awards are paid at maximum achievement of pre-established performance goals, at December 31, 2023, 1,837,540 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the Incentive Plan. We also maintain the Insperity, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) under the Incentive Plan. The LTIP provides for performance-based long-term compensation awards in the form of performance units to certain employees based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals. We granted performance units under the LTIP to our named executive officers and certain other officers in 2023, 2022 and 2021. Employees who attain a minimum age of 62 and have provided 15 years or more of continuous service may continue to vest in awards following a qualifying retirement as defined under the Incentive Plan award agreement, as though they were still an employee, provided the grant date of the award is six months or more before the employee’s last day of employment, the employee provides the Company with six months advance notice of retirement, the employee continues to work full-time during such six (6) month period, and the employee signs a waiver and release of claims. In addition, in order to avoid forfeiting any outstanding award, a retired employee must refrain from providing any services, including but not limited to, as an employee, director, advisor, or independent contractor to a business engaged in providing any F-24 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS services offered by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates at the time of the employee’s retirement, including but not limited to PEO services, payroll services, retirement services or insurances services. For a termination following a qualifying retirement, time-vested awards will continue to vest in the normal course. For a termination following a qualifying retirement, performance-based awards with completed or in-process performance periods are adjusted for achievement of the performance criteria, prorated through the date of termination and paid in the normal course, while performance-based awards for performance periods that have not started are forfeited. Stock-based compensation expense related to time-vested and performance-based awards is accelerated over the requisite service period for employees who meet the requirements for continued vesting. Stock-based compensation expense and other disclosures for stock-based awards follows: (in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Stock-based compensation expense recognized Income tax benefit realized from stock-based compensation expense $ 52,996 $ 50,080 $ 12,643 13,483 40,623 10,677 Time-Based Restricted Stock Units Time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), under equity plan accounting, are generally measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted, estimated forfeitures and the quoted price of the common stock. Such value is recognized as compensation expense over the corresponding vesting period, generally three years to five years for awards currently outstanding. However, for some RSUs currently outstanding, compensation expense is accelerated over the shortened requisite service period for employees who meet the requirements for continued vesting. The following is a summary of time-based RSUs award activity for 2023: Non-vested — December 31, 2022 Granted Vested Canceled Non-vested — December 31, 2023 Additional disclosures for time-based RSUs: Total Awards (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value 987 556 (480) (25) 1,038 $ $ 86.34 123.66 83.54 104.82 106.98 Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted $ 123.66 $ 90.06 $ 88.84 Fair value of awards vested during the year (in millions) 58.7 30.4 28.7 As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the unvested RSUs outstanding was $59.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 22 months. Long-Term Incentive Program Awards Each performance unit represents the right to receive common shares at a future date based on our performance against specified targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets, which can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted amounts. A performance unit may be comprised of either a performance-based award or a market-based award. For performance-based awards, performance units have a vesting schedule of three years and compensation expense is recognized based on the number of common shares expected to be issued and the market price per common share on F-25 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS the date of grant. Over the performance period, the number of shares expected to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. For market-based awards, performance units vest at the end of a three-year period assuming continued employment and achievement of market-based performance goals. The fair value of market-based performance awards was determined through the use of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The compensation expense for the LTIP awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms. The following is a summary of LTIP award activity, at 100% of targeted amount, for 2023: Non-vested — December 31, 2022 Granted Vested Canceled Non-vested — December 31, 2023 Number of Performance Units (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value 272 67 (107) (5) 227 $ $ 85.37 133.08 70.05 114.34 105.92 As of December 31, 2023, we estimate that approximately 91,000, 83,000 and 57,000 shares will vest with $0.1 million, $1.6 million and $4.2 million in unamortized compensation expense related to the 2021, 2022 and 2023 LTIP grants, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Our employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) enables employees to purchase shares of Insperity stock at a 5% discount from the stock price at the end of the offering period. The ESPP is a non-compensatory plan under GAAP for stock-based compensation. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized in conjunction with this plan. Approximately 39,000, 36,000 and 36,000 shares were issued from treasury under the ESPP during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 10. Earnings Per Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of time-vested and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The following table summarizes the net income and the basic and diluted shares used in the earnings per share computations: (in thousands) Net income Weighted average common shares outstanding Incremental shares from assumed time-vested and performance-based RSU awards Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 $ 171,382 $ 179,350 $ 124,080 37,807 535 38,342 38,115 501 38,616 38,431 471 38,902 Potentially dilutive securities not included in weighted average share calculation due to anti-dilutive effect 6 10 — F-26 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 11. Leases We have operating leases for office space, other operating facilities, vehicles and office equipment. Our fixed operating lease costs for 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $19.5 million, $18.7 million, and $18.2 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During 2023, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $22.9 million.

Commitments and Contingencies We enter into fixed purchase and service obligations in the ordinary course of business. These arrangements primarily consist of advertising commitments and service contracts. At December 31, 2023, future purchase and service obligations greater than $100,000 and one year were as follows: F-27 2023 Form 10-K NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands) 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total obligations Litigation $ 33,472 21,622 7,552 3,113 3,159 — $ 68,918 We are a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business.

As used in this Section 16, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (1) “Non-Solicit Period” means the period during which Grantee is employed by the Company and extending until twenty-four (24) months following Grantee’s termination of Employment. (2) “Proprietary Information” includes all confidential or proprietary scientific or technical information, data, formulas and related concepts, business plans (both current and under development), client lists, promotion and marketing programs, trade secrets, or any other confidential or proprietary business information relating to the business of the Company, whether in written or electronic form of writings, correspondence, notes, drafts, records, maps, invoices, technical and business logs, policies, computer programs, disks or otherwise. Proprietary Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly known through lawful means. (b) Confidential Treatment. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that he or she has acquired, and will in the future acquire as a result of his or her Employment or otherwise, Proprietary Information of the Company which is of a confidential or trade secret nature, and all of which has a great value to the Company and is a substantial basis and foundation upon which the Company’s business is predicated. Accordingly, other than in the legitimate performance of Grantee’s job duties, Grantee agrees: (1) to regard and preserve as confidential at all times all Proprietary Information; 7 Officer RSU Award_ Jan 2024 (2) to refrain from publishing or disclosing any part of the Proprietary Information and from using, copying or duplicating it in any way by any means whatsoever; and (3) not to use on Grantee’s own behalf or on behalf of any third party or to disclose the Proprietary Information to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company. (c) Property of the Company. Grantee acknowledges that all Proprietary Information and other property of the Company which Grantee accumulates during Grantee’s Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon the termination of Grantee’s Employment, or at any time upon the Company’s request, Grantee shall surrender and deliver to the Company (and not keep, recreate or furnish to any third party) any and all work papers, reports, manuals, documents and the like (including all originals and copies thereof) in Grantee’s possession which contain Proprietary Information relating to the business, prospects or plans of the Company. Further, Grantee agrees to search for and delete all Company information, including Proprietary Information, from his or her computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other personal electronic storage devices, other than payroll information or other financial information that Grantee may need for his or her tax filings, and, upon request, certify to the Company that Grantee has completed this search and deletion process. (d) Cooperation. Grantee agrees that, following any termination of his or her Employment, Grantee will not disclose or cause to be disclosed any Proprietary Information, unless (in any such case) required by court order. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of any Proprietary Information that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. The Company may seek the assistance, cooperation or testimony of Grantee following any such termination in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of matters within the knowledge of Grantee and related to his or her Employment, and in such instance, Grantee shall provide such assistance, cooperation or testimony and the Company shall pay Grantee’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith. (e) Non-Solicitation. (1) Grantee and the Company agree to the non-solicitation provisions of this Section 16(e): (i) in consideration for the Proprietary Information provided by the Company to Grantee; and (ii) to protect the Proprietary Information of the Company disclosed or entrusted to Grantee by the Company or created or developed by Grantee for the Company, the business goodwill of the Company developed through the efforts of Grantee and the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to Grantee by the Company. (2) Grantee expressly covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Solicit Period, Grantee will not: (i) engage or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who 8 Officer RSU Award_ Jan 2024 is an officer or employee of the Company; or (ii) canvass, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed away from the Company any person who or which is or was a customer of the Company, during the prior two years of Grantee’s Employment, and either (x) about which Grantee received Proprietary Information or (y) with which Grantee had contact or dealings on behalf of the Company. (3) Grantee expressly recognizes that he or she is a key employee and an important member of management who will be provided with access to Proprietary Information and trade secrets as part of Grantee’s Employment and that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 16 are reasonable and necessary in light of Grantee’s position and access to the Proprietary Information. (f) Relief. Grantee and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in this Section 16 are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Grantee and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 16 by Grantee, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 16 by terminating any unvested Restricted Stock Units, taking action to recoup the value of any Restricted Stock Units already settled and paid to Grantee, and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 16 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Grantee and Grantee’s agents. However, if it is determined that Grantee has not committed a breach of this Section 16, then the Company shall resume vesting of the Restricted Stock Units due under this Agreement and pay to Grantee all Restricted Stock Units that would have vested but had been suspended pending such determination. (g) Reformation. The Company and Grantee agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 16 would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Grantee expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 16 will not impose an undue hardship upon Grantee or any person or entity affiliated with Grantee. Further, Grantee acknowledges that Grantee’s skills are such that Grantee can be gainfully employed and that the restrictive covenants will not prevent Grantee from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. (h) Protected Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Grantee from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement limits Grantee’s ability to 9 Officer RSU Award_ Jan 2024 communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Additionally, Grantee and the Company acknowledge and agree that Grantee does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Grantee is not required to notify the Company or any of its affiliates that Grantee has made such reports or disclosures. (i) Survivability. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of the Agreement and settlement of Restricted Stock Units, and shall remain applicable to Grantee. 17. Entire Agreement; Binding Effect.

Grantee and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 16 by Grantee, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 16 by terminating any unvested Restricted Stock Units, taking action to recoup the value of any Restricted Stock Units already settled and paid to Grantee, and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 16 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Grantee and Grantee’s agents. However, if it is determined that Grantee has not committed a breach of this Section 16, then the Company shall resume vesting of the Restricted Stock Units due under this Agreement and pay to Grantee all Restricted Stock Units that would have vested but had been suspended pending such determination. (g) Reformation. The Company and Grantee agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 16 would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Grantee expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 16 will not impose an undue hardship upon Grantee or any person or entity affiliated with Grantee. Further, Grantee acknowledges that Grantee’s skills are such that Grantee can be gainfully employed and that the restrictive covenants will not prevent Grantee from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. (h) Protected Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Grantee from 8 Employee RSU Award_ Jan 2024 reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement limits Grantee’s ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Additionally, Grantee and the Company acknowledge and agree that Grantee does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Grantee is not required to notify the Company or any of its affiliates that Grantee has made such reports or disclosures. (i) Survivability. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of the Agreement and settlement of Restricted Stock Units, and shall remain applicable to Grantee. 17. Entire Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall cover all shares of Common Stock acquired by the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement, including any community and/or separate property interest owned by the Grantee’s spouse in said shares. All terms, conditions and limitations on transferability imposed under this Agreement upon shares acquired by the Grantee shall apply to any interest of the Grantee’s spouse in such shares. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the parties regarding this Award, and supersedes any and all prior written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Vesting. Subject to Sections 2(c), 3 and 4 below, the Grantee shall become vested in the Grantee’s Final Award upon the final Valuation Date of the last Performance Period applicable to this Award (the “Final Valuation Date”), provided that the Grantee has been in continuous Employment since the Grant Date through the Final Valuation Date. (c) Change in Control. The Award granted under this Agreement will not partially or fully vest or otherwise accelerate vesting solely as the result of a Change in Control.

(c) Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, if the Grantee remains in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability that occurs prior to the Final Valuation Date, then the Grantee shall be entitled to a Final Award based on actual achievement of the Performance Goal(s) during the Performance Period(s) pro-rated by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of days of the Grantee’s Employment from the Grant Date through the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days encompassing the first day of the first Performance Period and the last day of the last Performance Period applicable to the Award (if multiple Performance Periods). In the event of a Change in Control, if the Grantee remains in continuous Employment from the Grant Date through the Grantee’s death or Disability occurring after a Change in Control, the Grantee shall be entitled to a pro-rata portion, as calculated under this Section 3(c), of the Change in Control Value. Any vesting by reason of Disability under this section is subject to execution and delivery to the Company of an effective Waiver and Release Agreement. (d) Retirement.

As used in this Section 18, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “Non-Solicit Period” means the period during which Grantee is employed by the Company and extending until twenty-four (24) months following Grantee’s termination of Employment. (ii) “Proprietary Information” includes all confidential or proprietary scientific or technical information, data, formulas and related concepts, business plans (both current and under development), client lists, promotion and marketing programs, trade secrets, or any other confidential or proprietary business information relating to the business of the Company, whether in written or electronic form of writings, correspondence, notes, drafts, records, maps, invoices, technical and business logs, policies, computer programs, disks or otherwise. Proprietary Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly known through lawful means. (b) Confidential Treatment. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that he or she has acquired, and will in the future acquire as a result of his or her Employment or otherwise, Proprietary Information of the Company which is of a confidential or trade secret nature, and all of which has a great value to the Company and is a substantial basis and foundation upon which 6 LTIP Jan 2024 the Company’s business is predicated. Accordingly, other than in the legitimate performance of Grantee’s job duties, Grantee agrees: (i) to regard and preserve as confidential at all times all Proprietary Information; (ii) to refrain from publishing or disclosing any part of the Proprietary Information and from using, copying or duplicating it in any way by any means whatsoever; and (iii) not to use on Grantee’s own behalf or on behalf of any third party or to disclose the Proprietary Information to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company. (c) Property of the Company. Grantee acknowledges that all Proprietary Information and other property of the Company which Grantee accumulates during Grantee’s Employment are the exclusive property of the Company. Upon the termination of Grantee’s Employment, or at any time upon the Company’s request, Grantee shall surrender and deliver to the Company (and not keep, recreate or furnish to any third party) any and all work papers, reports, manuals, documents and the like (including all originals and copies thereof) in Grantee’s possession which contain Proprietary Information relating to the business, prospects or plans of the Company. Further, Grantee agrees to search for and delete all Company information, including Proprietary Information, from his or her computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other personal electronic storage devices, other than payroll information or other financial information that Grantee may need for his or her tax filings, and, upon request, certify to the Company that Grantee has completed this search and deletion process. (d) Cooperation. Grantee agrees that, following any termination of his or her Employment, Grantee will not disclose or cause to be disclosed any Proprietary Information, unless (in any such case) required by court order. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of any Proprietary Information that (1) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. The Company may seek the assistance, cooperation or testimony of Grantee following any such termination in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of matters within the knowledge of Grantee and related to his or her Employment, and in such instance, Grantee shall provide such assistance, cooperation or testimony and the Company shall pay Grantee’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith. (e) Non-Solicitation. i. Grantee and the Company agree to the non-solicitation provisions of this Section 18(e): (1) in consideration for the Proprietary Information provided by the Company to Grantee; and (2) to protect the Proprietary Information of the Company disclosed or entrusted to Grantee by the Company or created or developed by Grantee for the Company, the business goodwill of the Company developed through the efforts of Grantee and the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to Grantee by the Company. ii. Grantee expressly covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Solicit Period, Grantee will not: (1) engage or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who is an officer or 7 LTIP Jan 2024 employee of the Company; or (2) canvass, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed away from the Company any person who or which is or was a customer of the Company, during the prior two years of Grantee’s Employment, and either (x) about which Grantee received Proprietary Information or (y) with which Grantee had contact or dealings on behalf of the Company. iii. Grantee expressly recognizes that he or she is a key employee and an important member of management who will be provided with access to Proprietary Information and trade secrets as part of Grantee’s Employment and that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 18 are reasonable and necessary in light of Grantee’s position and access to the Proprietary Information. (f) Relief. Grantee and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in this Section 16 are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Grantee and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 18 by Grantee, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 18 by terminating any unvested Phantom Stock, taking action to recoup the value of any Phantom Stock already settled and paid to Grantee, and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Section 18 but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Grantee and Grantee’s agents. However, if it is determined that Grantee has not committed a breach of this Section 18, then the Company shall resume vesting of the Phantom Stock due under this Agreement and pay to Grantee all Phantom Stock that would have vested but had been suspended pending such determination. (g) Reformation. The Company and Grantee agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 18 would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Grantee expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 18 will not impose an undue hardship upon Grantee or any person or entity affiliated with Grantee. Further, Grantee acknowledges that Grantee’s skills are such that Grantee can be gainfully employed and that the restrictive covenants will not prevent Grantee from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. (h) Protected Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Grantee from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement limits Grantee’s ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Additionally, Grantee and the Company acknowledge and agree that Grantee does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Grantee is not required to notify the Company or any of its affiliates that Grantee has made such reports or disclosures. 8 LTIP Jan 2024 settlement of Phantom Stock, and shall remain applicable to Grantee.

ESTABLISHMENT OF PERFORMANCE GOAL(S) AND PARTICIPATION A. For each Plan Year, the Committee has the sole and absolute discretion to decide whether Awards under the Program will be granted, and if so, the Performance Goal(s) that will be established with respect to the Awards. B. If the Committee elects to grant Awards for a Plan Year, then, not later than the ninetieth (90 ) day of the Plan Year in which the Award is granted, the Committee will establish the Performance Period(s) and Performance Goal(s) for such Awards and select each of the Employees who shall be eligible to participate in the Program (each, a “Participant”) and be granted an Award, along with any other terms and conditions, including any vesting requirements, applicable to the Award, all of which shall be evidenced in the Participant’s Award Notice and Agreement. For any Award, the Committee may use multiple Performance Periods. th IV. CERTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE GOAL(S) AND SETTLEMENT OF FINAL AWARD A. As soon as practicable after the close of a Performance Period, but in no event later than the seventieth (70 ) day thereafter (the “Valuation Date”), the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine and certify in writing the level at which the Performance Goal(s) were achieved for the Performance Period and, based on that determination, the number of shares of Phantom Stock earned by each Participant who has been in continuous Employment at all times since the Grant Date through the Valuation Date for such Performance Period. th B. A Participant’s Final Award will be settled no later than the ninetieth (90 ) day after the close of the Performance Period in shares of Common Stock; as such form of payment is specified in the Award Notice and Agreement. If an Award has multiple Performance Periods, the Final Award will be determined, certified and paid after the close of the last Performance Period. (For the avoidance of doubt, if an Award uses a combination of three (3) annual Performance Periods, then the Award will be a Final Award after the close of the last (i.e., third annual) Performance Period. Thus, the number of shares of Phantom Stock, if any, determined and certified by the Committee for an annual Performance Period will not be paid until the Award becomes a Final Award after the close of the last Performance Period for such Award.) th 3 V. FORFEITURE OF AWARD Except as otherwise provided in an Award Notice and Agreement, if a Participant’s Employment terminates for any reason prior to the Valuation Date or, if multiple Performance Periods, prior to the final Valuation Date for an Award, the Participant’s Award shall be forfeited immediately after termination of his Employment and the Participant shall not be entitled to any shares or other amounts under the forfeited Award. VI. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS Dividend Equivalent rights may be extended to and made part of any Award, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may establish; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable prior to settlement of a Final Award, and any Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents may be credited with earnings or Dividend Equivalents, as established in an Award Notice and Agreement, and shall be settled at the same time as the underlying Final Award. VII. WITHHOLDING The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock to the Participant in settlement of a Final Award shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements (the “Required Withholding”). The Company shall have the right to deduct the Required Withholding, at the time of delivery or vesting of shares of Common Stock, an appropriate number of shares for the payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy the Required Withholding. VIII. NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT The granting of an Award under the Program shall not impose upon the Company any obligation to maintain any Participant as an Employee and shall not diminish the power of the Company to terminate any Participant’s Employment at any time. IX. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION The Committee may amend or terminate this Program at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant under an Award that has been granted hereunder, without such Participant’s written consent. X. GENERAL PROVISIONS A. No right under this Program or the Plan shall be assignable, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by way of encumbrance, pledge, attachment, levy or charge of any nature (except as may be required by state or federal law). B. Nothing in this Program or the Plan shall require the Company to segregate or set aside any funds or other property for the purpose of paying any portion of an Award. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any amount awarded under this Program or the Plan before the payment date for the Award, or in any property of the Company or a Subsidiary. 4 C. The Committee may specify in the Award Notice and Agreement such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may determine, from time to time, in its sole discretion. D. Any amounts attributable to an Award granted under this Program shall be excluded from compensation for purposes of any 401(k) plan, or any other benefit, including but not limited to an Award under the Plan, life insurance or disability. E. Any amounts granted or paid under this Program are subject to the Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, the Insperity, Inc.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Insperity, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Insperity” or the “Company”) has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to adopt this Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. The Policy describes circumstances in which Erroneously Awarded Compensation is subject to recovery by the Company and the process for that recovery. This Policy is intended to comply with (a) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as codified in Section 10D of the Exchange Act, and implemented by Rule 10D-1 thereunder adopted by the Commission and (b) Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. 2. Administration. This Policy shall be administered by the Administrator. Any determinations made by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all affected individuals. Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Administrator may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee). 3. Definitions. For purposes of this Policy, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below. a. “Administrator” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. b. “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. c. “Commission” means the Securities and Exchange Commission. d. “Compensation Eligible for Recovery” means Incentive-based Compensation received on or after the Effective Date by an individual: i. after beginning service as an Executive Officer, ii. who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for the applicable Incentive-based Compensation (regardless of whether such individual is serving as an Executive Officer at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be repaid to the Company), iii. while the Company had a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association, and iv. during the applicable Recovery Period. e. “Effective Date” means October 2, 2023. f. “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means, with respect to each Executive Officer, the Compensation Eligible for Recovery less the amount of Incentive-based Compensation that would have been determined based on the restated amounts, computed without regard to any taxes paid. 1 NSP Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation_Final g. “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. h. “Executive Officer” means: i. each individual designated by the Board to be an officer in accordance with Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act, and ii. any other individual required by Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act to be designated as an executive officer, as determined by the Administrator. i. “Financial Reporting Measure” means measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures. Stock price and total shareholder return (and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from stock price or total shareholder return) for purposes of this Policy are considered Financial Reporting Measures. For the avoidance of doubt, a Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with the Commission. j. “Incentive-based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. k. “NYSE” means the New York Stock Exchange LLC. l. “Policy” means this Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as the same may be amended or amended and restated from time to time. m. “Recovery Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Restatement Date and if the Company changes its fiscal year, any transition period of less than nine months within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. n. “Restatement” means an accounting restatement: i. due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or ii. that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The determination of material noncompliance or material misstatement shall be conclusive and binding, and not subject to challenge or contest. o. “Restatement Date” means the earlier of: i. the date the Board, the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee of the Board, or such other authorized committee of the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, or ii. the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement. 2 NSP Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation_Final 4. Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. a. The Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall promptly report to the Board, the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee of the Board, and the Administrator any instance in which the Company is required to prepare a Restatement. b. Upon learning of a required Restatement, an entity specified in Section 3(o)(i) shall determine the Restatement Date. c. After the Restatement, the Chief Financial Officer (or another appropriate officer or third party designated by the Administrator) shall reasonably promptly calculate the Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each affected individual, which calculation shall be subject to approval by the Administrator. For purposes of calculating Erroneously Awarded Compensation: i. Incentive-based Compensation shall be deemed received in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-based Compensation occurs after the end of that period (but shall not include Incentive-based Compensation received prior to the Effective Date). ii. For Incentive-based Compensation based on (or derived from) stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in a Restatement, it shall be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-based Compensation was received. The Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE. d. Reasonably promptly following the Administrator’s approval of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, the Administrator shall notify in writing each individual who received Erroneously Awarded Compensation and shall demand payment or return, as applicable, of such Erroneously Award Compensation. e. The Company shall demand recovery and recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation in compliance with this Policy except to the extent that the Administrator determines that recovery would be impracticable, and one of the following conditions applies: i. the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered; provided, however, that before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover, and provide that documentation to the NYSE; ii. recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; provided, however, that before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on violation of home country 3 NSP Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation_Final law, the Company must obtain an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the NYSE, that recovery would result in such a violation, and must provide such opinion to the NYSE; or iii. recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(13) or 411(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder. f. Except as provided in Section 4(e)(i), Section 4(e)(ii) or Section 4(e)(iii), in no event may the Company accept final repayment from the affected individual of less than the full amount of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation received by such individual. g. The Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method of recovering any Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy, taking into account all facts and circumstances (including the time value of money and the cost to shareholders of delayed recovery), so long as such method complies with the terms of Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Without limitation, recovery may include for example direct repayment by the individual, or the forfeiture or reduction of existing or future wages, compensation or equity-based awards. If the Administrator determines that an appropriate method of recovery is one other than the prompt repayment by the affected individual in cash or property, the Company may offer to enter into a repayment agreement with the affected individual (in a form and with terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrator). The Company may offset, or cause to be offset, any amounts that the affected individual is required to repay to the Company pursuant to this Policy against any amounts otherwise owed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the affected individual. The Administrator’s determinations regarding the timing and method of recovery need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by the Policy. h. To the extent the affected individual has already reimbursed the Company for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under any duplicate obligations established by the Company or applicable law, any such reimbursed amount may appropriately be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery under this Policy. i. If the affected individual fails to repay to the Company when due the full amount of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation received by such affected individual, the Company shall take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover the full amount of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation from the affected individual. In accordance with this paragraph, the affected individual shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering the Erroneously Awarded Compensation. 5. Disclosure. The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws, including the disclosure required by the applicable Commission filings. 6. No Indemnification. The Company shall not indemnify any current or former Executive Officer against the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and shall not pay, or reimburse any current or former Executive Officers for, premiums for any insurance policy to fund such Executive Officer’s potential recovery obligations. Further, this Policy shall supersede any prior 4 NSP Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation_Final right to indemnification with an Executive Officer (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date). 7. Effective Date. This Policy shall be effective as of the Effective Date. 8. Amendment and Interpretation. The Administrator may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary or advisable to reflect the regulations adopted by the Commission and to comply with any rules or standards adopted by the NYSE. The Administrator may at any time in its sole discretion, supplement, amend or terminate any provision of this Policy in any respect as the Administrator determines to be necessary or appropriate. The Administrator shall interpret and construe this Policy and make all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 thereunder and Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and any other applicable rules adopted by the Commission. 9. Other Recoupment Rights. Any employment agreement, equity award agreement or similar agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date may, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require the party thereto to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy or implement arrangements designed to facilitate the administration hereof. Although not a prerequisite to enforcement of this Policy, each Executive Officer shall be provided with an acknowledgment form setting forth the individual’s obligation under this Policy. Any right of recovery under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy originally adopted in 2014, and as may be amended from time to time, any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company. 10. Successors. This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all current and former Executive Officers and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives. 5 NSP Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation_Final INSPERITY, INC.
