Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

Prior to April 30, 2021, Kforce maintained a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which benefited two executives. The SERP was a non-qualified benefit plan and did not include elective deferrals of covered executive officers’ compensation. The related net periodic benefit costs were comprised of service cost and interest cost. The service cost amounted to $199 thousand in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, and $87 thousand and $259 thousand in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and were recorded in SG&A. The interest cost amounted to $138 thousand in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, and $124 thousand and $373 thousand in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and were recorded in Other expense, net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Effective April 30, 2021, Kforce’s Board of Directors irrevocably terminated the SERP. The benefits owed to the two participants under the SERP as of September 30, 2021 amount to $20.0 million in the aggregate, which is recorded in Other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Kforce must

make the benefit payments to the participants within 24 months of the termination date but no sooner than 12 months after the termination date. We anticipate making the benefit payments during the third quarter ending September 30, 2022. No contributions were made to the SERP during the four months ended April 30, 2021.As a result of the termination of the SERP, Kforce recognized a net loss of $1.8 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The loss is reflected in Other expense, net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
