Item 2.03(a) Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

As previously disclosed, on April 3, 2018, CBIZ, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement ( the “2018 Credit Facility”) by and among CBIZ Operations, Inc., as Borrower, CBIZ, Inc., Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The 2018 Credit Facility provides a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility subject to certain terms and conditions. The other material terms of the 2018 Credit Facility were described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 5, 2018.

The Company provided notice to the Agent on March 20, 2020 that the Company would borrow $210.0 million under the 2018 Credit Agreement which is essentially all of the remaining capacity. On March 25, 2020, the Company received those funds in cash. While the Company has ample liquidity, it is increasing its cash position as a precautionary measure to preserve flexibility in light of the evolving COVID-19 health situation and the high degree of uncertainty related to macroeconomic implications. The Company may use the proceeds from the 2018 Credit Agreement for working capital, ongoing operating needs and other general corporate purposes.

Item 5.02(b) Director Retirement

Director Donald V. Weir has given notice on March 24, 2020 of his intention to retire from the Board of Directors of CBIZ, Inc. effective at the expiration of his current term on May 14, 2020. Mr. Weir chose not to stand for reelection at the 2020 Annual Meeting. Mr. Weir did not retire as a result of any disagreement with the registrant. Mr. Weir is a valued and longstanding Board member, having served in this role since 2003. The Board and Management of CBIZ unanimously and sincerely thank Mr. Weir for his long and dedicated service to the Company. Concurrent with his retirement, the Board of Directors will reduce the number of directors of CBIZ, Inc. to nine (9), pending a search for appropriate replacement candidate(s). Another independent and qualified financial expert member of the Board will be appointed to take his place on the Audit Committee on the date of his retirement.
