DUBLIN, Calif., Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet Group, Inc. (NYSE: TNET) ("TriNet," the "Company" or "our") announced today the final results of its modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash up to $250 million in value of its common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price per share not less than $63.00 and not greater than $72.00, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, using available cash on hand. The Tender Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on December 6, 2022. The Company's largest stockholder, Atairos Group, Inc., did not participate in the Tender Offer.

Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Tender Offer (the "Depositary"), a total of 1,515,258 shares of Common Stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the purchase price of $72.00 per share.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, TriNet has accepted for purchase 1,515,258 shares at a price of $72.00 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $109.1 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. The 1,515,258 shares TriNet accepted for purchase represent approximately 2.4% of its outstanding shares as of December 8, 2022.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will promptly issue payment in cash for the shares validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Following the purchase of shares in the Tender Offer, approximately $255 million will remain available under the Company's existing stock repurchase program. Pursuant to such program, the Company may, in the future, decide to purchase additional shares in open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or in private transactions, in each case subject to applicable law. Any such repurchases may be on the same terms as, or on terms that are more or less favorable to the selling stockholders in those transactions, than the terms of the Tender Offer. Whether the Company makes additional repurchases will depend on many factors, including its business and financial performance, the business and market conditions at the time, including the price of the shares, and other factors the Company considers relevant.
