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

(e) On June 1, 2026, at the annual meeting of stockholders of Barrett Business Services, Inc.

Second Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan," which is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the Restated 2020 Stock Plan contained herein and in the definitive Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Restated 2020 Stock Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
