GEE Group announced that the company has entered into a cooperation agreement with Star Equity Fund, LP. Under the terms of the Agreement, the company and its board of directors will declassify the Board, which will lead to a majority of the board being declassified at the company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and the Board being fully declassified at the company's 2028 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This initiative is reflective of the company's long-standing commitment to strengthen corporate governance and constructive engagement with shareholders. In addition, Star Equity Fund has withdrawn its director nominee for election and its business proposal to remove two of GEE Group's directors at the company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and agreed to certain customary standstill provisions and voting commitments.

Star Equity Fund Calls on GEE Group to Modify Executive Agreements
Star Equity Fund (STRR), which holds a 5.4% stake in GEE Group (JOB), called on the staffing company to modify executive employment agreements that it claims contain excessive severance and change-in-control provisions. The investment fund estimates that a change in control under the 2023 employment agreements for CEO Derek Dewan, CFO Kim Thorpe, and COO Alex Stuckey would trigger payments of at least $8M to the three executives. Star Equity Fund stated this represents approximately 35% of GEE Group's unaffected market capitalization. GEE Group previously announced it hired Roth Capital Partners to evaluate strategic alternatives following Star Equity Fund's March 2026 recommendation for a sale process. Star Equity Fund stated the current executive agreements could impede a value-maximizing sale process.

Derek Dewan, chairman and EO of GEE Group, commented, "As we stated in our recent press release, the Company intends to privately and formally respond to interested parties. In accordance with its fiduciary duties, the Board of Directors of GEE Group and its M&A Committee will consider any bona fide offer regarding a business combination, acquisition, or other transaction that it believes will enhance shareholder value. Our decision to engage Roth Capital Partners as the Company's financial advisor was addressed at our February Board of Directors meeting and represents the next important step towards this end."
