Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 15, 2019, Julia L. Coronado was elected a director of the Company by the Board of Directors. Dr. Coronado was also appointed to the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Dr. Coronado is President and Founder of MacroPolicy Perspectives LLC (MPP), an economic research consulting firm, and has served in that position since 2017. She is also currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Texas at Austin, an Executive in Residence for Rutgers Business School and serves on the Pension Research Council at the Wharton School, the Economic Advisory Panel of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Economic Studies Council at The Brookings Institution. Prior to founding MPP, Dr. Coronado served as Chief Economist for Graham Capital Management from 2014 to 2017, as Chief Economist, North America and a Managing Director at BNP Paribas from 2009 to 2014, and as a Senior U.S. Economist and Director at Barclays Capital from 2006 to 2009. Earlier in her career, she served as an Economist at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and served on the Treasury Markets Practices Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Dr. Coronado also served on the independent advisory board of the Company’s Protiviti Inc. subsidiary from March 2018 until her election to the Board of Directors on March 15, 2019. She holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.S. in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Dr. Coronado has entered into the Company’s customary indemnification agreement for its directors. It is expected that the Company will pay Dr. Coronado (1) an annual fee of $40,000 for service on the Board, (2) a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting attended, and (3) a $3,000 annual fee for service on the Nominating and Governance Committee, and that she will receive equity compensation annually commensurate with the Company’s other outside directors.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Coronado and any other person pursuant to which she was elected as a director of the Company. Since January 1, 2018, there have been no transactions between the Company and Dr. Coronado of the type that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
