On June 30, 2025, Insperity's Compensation Committee approved special performance-based equity awards for Chairman and CEO Paul J. Sarvadi and President and COO A. Steve Arizpe, effective July 1, 2025. The awards are tied to the company's stock price and to the planned joint HR solution with Workday, and they vest only after five years of continued service, so they affect shareholders through potential future share issuance tied to the stock price.
Maximum awards are 400,000 performance stock units (PSUs) for Sarvadi and 100,000 for Arizpe.
Full payout requires a 30-day average closing stock price of $225, about 3.6 times the $62.06 grant-date closing price.
Awards are forfeited in full if the stock does not reach the $105 threshold, and vest after five years of continued employment.
The company said the awards aim to retain the executives while the joint solution with Workday launches.
