On January 14, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TriNet Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an increase in the size of the Board from nine to eleven members and appointed each of Shawn Guertin and Jacqueline Kosecoff as a director to fill the vacancies created by the increase, effective January 15, 2020.
