STRR News & Events

Star Equity (STRR), a 5.4% stockholder of GEE Group (JOB), announced that it has presented GEE Group's board with an indication of interest for the potential acquisition of the company. The indication of interest contemplates a stock-for-stock transaction whereby Star would acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock for 30c per share, using Star's publicly listed 10% Series A cumulative perpetual preferred stock, valued based on its liquidation preference of $10.00 per share.

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.
