Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or
Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(d) On October 11, 2016, the board of directors (the “Board”)
of Barrett Business Services, Inc. (the “Company”), approved an increase in the number of positions on the Board
from six to seven and appointed Thomas B. Cusick to fill the vacancy resulting from the increase, effective immediately, to serve
until the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, at which time he is expected to stand for re-election.
The Board also appointed Mr. Cusick to serve
as a member of the Board’s Audit and Compliance Committee (the “Audit Committee”), having determined that he meets all
applicable financial literacy and independence requirements for audit committee membership specified in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The Board also determined that Mr. Cusick qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined
by the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr. Cusick will be compensated for his services as a director
consistent with the Company’s standard practices for non-employee directors. The current applicable arrangements provide for payment
of an annual cash retainer of $50,000, an additional $7,500 for membership on the Audit Committee, and an annual award of restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) with a value of $50,000 on the grant date. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one
share of the Company’s Common Stock. The RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year following the grant
date.
Mr. Cusick, age 49, has more than 25 years of financial management
experience. He has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Columbia Sportswear Company, an outdoor and
active lifestyle apparel and footwear company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, since 2009. From 2002 to 2009, he served
as Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of Columbia. Prior to joining Columbia, Mr. Cusick spent seven
years with Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a public company that develops system design enablement solutions, and certain of its
subsidiaries. He began his career at the public accounting firm of KPMG, LLP.
There are no transactions in which Mr. Cusick has an interest
requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no family relationships between him and any other executive
officer or director of the Company. Other than the compensation arrangements described above, there is no arrangement or understanding
between Mr. Cusick and any other persons or entities pursuant to which Mr. Cusick was appointed as a director of the Company.
