Item 5.02(d) Election of New Directors.

Effective November 11, 2015, the Board of Directors of CBIZ, Inc. (the “Company”) expanded the number of its directors and appointed Jerome P. Grisko, Jr., currently the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, to fill the resulting vacancy. This appointment brings the total number of directors on the Company’s Board of Directors to ten, seven of whom are independent directors. Mr. Grisko’s appointment to the Board was undertaken as part of the Company’s succession plan announced on October 29, 2014. Mr. Grisko will serve through the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time he is expected to stand for election by the Company’s Stockholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Mr. Grisko’s compensation is unchanged by this appointment, and he is not entitled to any additional payments other than under his current compensation package as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company as described in the Company’s 2015 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2015. As a key member of the Company’s senior management team, Mr. Grisko is not considered independent under NYSE standards. There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Grisko and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. Mr. Grisko is not, and has not been since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, a party to any related party transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, other than those concerning his compensation as stated above. Mr. Grisko will continue to serve on the Board’s Executive Management Committee, but will not serve on any additional committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. A copy of the press release related to Mr. Grisko’s appointment is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
