On June 13, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ASGN Incorporated (the “Company”) nominated Mark A. Frantz to the Board and Mr. Frantz has accepted the nomination. Mr. Frantz has also been appointed to serve as a member of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and was determined by the Board to be “independent” pursuant to the definition set forth by the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Frantz, age 50, has been an advisor to the Board since June 2018. The Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believed that his contributions to the Board were noteworthy and made a recommendation to the Board that the Board appoint him as a director.

Mr. Frantz co-founded BlueDelta Capital Partners, a growth capital firm focused on the U.S. federal government technology (“GovTech”) marketplace in 2009. Prior to Blue Delta, Mr. Frantz was a partner at RedShift Ventures from 2007 to 2009. He also served as the managing general partner of In-Q-Tel, the strategic venture capital affiliate of the U.S. intelligence community in 2006, and was a principal with Carlyle Venture Partners from 2001 to 2006, the associate to the senior chairman at Alex. Brown from 1997 to 2000, the economic and technology policy advisor to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge from 1993 to 1997, and the associate director of The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs under President George H. W. Bush from 1990 to 1993. From 2015 to 2018, Mr. Frantz served on the board of directors for CSRA Inc. (formerly NYSE: CSRA), prior to its acquisition by General Dynamics for $9.7 billion. Mr. Frantz also serves on the boards of several non-profit organizations, including the Northern Virginia Technology Council and the Virginia Tech President’s Leadership Council for the national capital region. 

Mr. Frantz earned bachelor of arts degrees in history and political science from Allegheny College, and he received a juris doctor and master of business administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Frantz contributes to the Board his track record partnering with leading U.S. government technology companies, and he possesses a very deep understanding of market dynamics and drivers within the government technology sector.

There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Frantz or any other person at the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which Mr. Frantz was appointed to serve as a director of the Company. There are no transactions between any of Mr. Frantz or any of his immediate family members and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would be required to be reported under Item 4.04(a) of Regulation S-K.
