This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on February 13, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 21, 2019, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 9, 2020, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 16, 2023 and Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 1, 2023  (as so amended, this “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.000025 per share (the “Common Stock” or the “shares”), of TriNet Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Except as specifically set forth herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 5 have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

On September 13, 2023, the closing of the sales occurred under the repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) among the Issuer, AGI-T, L.P. and A-A SMA, L.P. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, each of AGI-T, L.P. and A-A SMA, L.P. sold, and the Issuer repurchased from AGI-T, L.P. and A-A SMA, L.P. for cash, an aggregate of 3,364,486 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the sale and purchase of shares pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the “Share Repurchase”) at a price of $107.00 per share, with AGI-T, L.P. selling 2,774,893 shares and A-A SMA, L.P. selling 589,593 shares.

The foregoing description of the Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Repurchase Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 8 to Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.

Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby supplemented as follows:

(a) The information relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 18,113,052 shares of Common Stock. Such amount includes 27,279 shares of Common Stock received by Mr. Angelakis in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, over which the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership. Beneficial ownership reported herein does not include an additional 2,807 restricted stock units held by Mr. Angelakis which are not scheduled to vest within 60 days of the date hereof. Such number of shares of Common Stock represent 35.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding based on 50,485,553 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 13, 2023, based on 53,850,039 shares outstanding as of September 11, 2023, as provided by the Issuer, minus the aggregate of 3,364,486 shares repurchased from certain of the Reporting Persons as described herein.

(b) Each Reporting Person has shared voting power and shared dispositive power of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as indicated herein. The voting power limitations under Amendment No. 1 to Stockholder Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Other than as described herein, no Reporting Person or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person identified on Schedule A to Amendment No. 4, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule 13D.
