Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 11, 2011, TrueBlue, Inc. (the “Company”) through a subsidiary, entered into an Escrow, Security and Control Agreement for Contractual Liability Obligations (the “Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon as escrow agent, and National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA on behalf of itself and its insurance company affiliates including but not limited to, Chartis Casualty Company (collectively, the “Insurance Companies”).

The Agreement creates a trust for holding the majority of the Company’s collateral obligations under existing workers’ compensation insurance policies, which were issued by the Insurance Companies. Previously, the Company provided such collateral directly to the Insurance Companies. The Company and the Insurance Companies have now agreed that the collateral will be held in trust by a third party escrow agent, the Bank of New York Mellon. The Company believes that placing the collateral in a trust is a superior arrangement as it allows the Company to manage the investment of the assets which the Company believes will enhance investment returns. However, to the extent the Company’s investments decline in value below its current collateral posting obligation, the Company could be required to post additional collateral to the Insurance Companies. In connection with the execution of the Agreement, approximately $85 million of collateral was transferred from the Insurance Companies to the Escrow Agent.

The Agreement does not increase the Company’s obligations under the insurance policies.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Insurance Companies have the right to withdraw, or order the transfer of, all or part of the trust assets, provided that the Insurance Companies apply any amounts distributed from the trust to pay or reimburse the Insurance Companies for the Company’s obligations under the insurance policies.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
