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

On February 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of Insight Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") elected Alexander L. Baum as a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately, to serve until the Company's 2022 Annual Meeting and the election and qualification of his successor or, if earlier, his death or resignation or removal from the Board of Directors. Mr. Baum will receive compensation under the Company's standard compensation arrangement for non-employee directors (as described in the Company's proxy statement for its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders). Mr. Baum will serve as a member of the Audit and Compensation committees of the board.

Mr. Baum is a Partner of ValueAct Capital, one of the Company's largest stockholders. He joined ValueAct in 2012 and has worked on several ValueAct IT and technology industry investments including Nintendo Co. LTD, Microsoft Corporation, and Adobe Systems, Inc among others. He has a B.A. in physics from Pomona College and is a CFA charterholder.

Mr. Baum joined the Board pursuant to a Nomination and Cooperation Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated February 14, 2022, by and among the Company and various affiliates of ValueAct Capital (collectively, the "ValueAct Group"). The Agreement includes various terms, conditions and provisions, including that the Company will include Mr. Baum in the Board's recommended director slate of candidates to stand for election at the 2022 annual stockholders meeting. Mr. Baum, while serving as a member of the Board of Directors, is required to (i) meet all director independence and other requirements of the Company, of stock exchange listing standards and of the Securities and Exchange Commission and related securities laws and regulations, (ii) be qualified to serve as a director under the Delaware General Corporation Law and (iii) comply with Company policies, guidelines and codes of conduct applicable to directors.

If the ValueAct Group (which currently holds approximately a 10% ownership position in the Company) ceases to hold at least 5.0% of the Company's common stock, Mr. Baum would offer his resignation from the Board. Such offer of resignation would also be required in other circumstances set forth in the Agreement.

Under the Agreement, the ValueAct Group is subject to various restrictions, including, among other things, prohibitions on the ValueAct Group acquiring more than 15% of the Company's outstanding shares without the Company's consent, engaging in proxy solicitations and other stockholder-related matters and proposals, forming groups with other investors, disposing of their shares to a third party who would own more than 4.9% of the Company's outstanding shares outside of open market sales or underwritten offerings, engaging in short sales of Company shares, and limitations on public statements regarding the Company and on interactions with third parties and employees. The ValueAct Group has agreed to vote its shares as set forth in the Agreement, including with respect to board elections. Certain non-disparagement provisions also apply to the Company and to the ValueAct Group under the Agreement. The provisions of the Agreement described above generally apply until the later of (i) one year and (ii) the date of the Company's 2023 annual stockholders meeting if Mr. Baum is re-nominated to serve as a Director at the Company's 2023 annual stockholders meeting and he accepts the re-nomination.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On February 17, 2022, the Company issued a press release regarding the above matters, which press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
