Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On February 11, 2014, CBIZ, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. A transcript of CBIZs earnings conference call held on February 11, 2014 is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2.

Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On February 13, 2014, the Board of CBIZ, Inc. (the Company) authorized the continuation of the Companys Share Repurchase Program, which has been renewed annually for the past ten years. This authorization renews the 5 million share authorization currently in place which expires on March 31, 2014. The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the purchase of up to 5 million additional shares of its outstanding common stock to be obtained in open market, privately negotiated, or 10b5-1 trading plan purchases through March 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2013, CBIZ had approximately 49 million shares of its common stock outstanding. CBIZs Board of Directors believes that the repurchase plan is a prudent use of the Companys financial resources, and that investing in its own shares is an attractive use of capital and an efficient means to provide value to CBIZ stockholders. CBIZ anticipates that it will obtain all of the funds necessary to purchase shares under the repurchase program, and to pay related fees and expenses, from operating cash flow and by borrowing under its credit facility. This authorization allows such purchases to the extent permitted under the Companys current or any future credit facility, without further amendment.
