Release Details

CLEVELAND, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CBIZ, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBIZ) today announced it has sold its Orlando, Florida based Worksite Services business to USI Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: USIH).

CBIZ Worksite Services primarily services large multi-site employers through communication and enrollment services for employee benefits as well as the sale of supplemental benefits products. As one of the leading providers of benefits communications and enrollment services, Worksite Services gives employers the ability to offer a portfolio of supplemental insurance programs and value added services.

"The divestiture of Worksite Services is consistent with our corporate strategy to strengthen our market position by focusing our resources on our core business services including tax, accounting, payroll, insurance, benefits consulting and other related professional services. The niche business focus of Worksite Services was outside of our core strategy," stated Steven Gerard, Chairman and CEO of CBIZ, Inc. "As a result, earlier this year we made a decision to divest this operation and the financial results for Worksite Services have been reflected as a Discontinued Operation during 2005. The sale of this operation does not affect our outlook for 2005 and we remain on track to achieve our financial goals for 2005," continued Gerard.

Robert A. O'Byrne, President of CBIZ Benefit & Insurance Services, added, "We expect that Worksite Services' well-established marketing capability will integrate well with USI and we expect our worksite clients will be well served moving forward. At the same time, this divestiture will allow CBIZ Benefits and Insurance to more clearly focus on our mission of providing integrated employee management and insurance services which include employee benefits, risk management, payroll and human resource consulting to employers. In addition, we also actively work with our clients to introduce and cross-serve other related CBIZ services."
