    – Combined Company Well Positioned to Leverage its Increased Size, Diversified Revenue Streams, and Improved Profitability –

    OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudson Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSON) ("Hudson Global" or "the Company"), a leading global total talent solutions company, and Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRR, STRRP)) ("Star"), a diversified holding company, announced today the completion of their previously announced merger ("the Merger"), forming a larger, diversified holding company. Both companies received stockholder approval to complete the Merger at their respective stockholders' meetings held on August 21, 2025.

    The common stock of Hudson Global will continue to trade under the symbol "HSON." The Hudson Global 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq on August 22, 2025 under ticker symbol "HSONP." Star's common and preferred stock has been suspended from trading on the Nasdaq effective as of the opening of trading on August 22, 2025.

    Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (i) each share of common stock of Star issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectuated Merger (other than certain shares as set forth in the Merger Agreement) was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.23 shares of Hudson Global common stock; and (ii) each share of preferred stock of Star issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectuated Merger (other than certain shares set forth in the Merger Agreement) was automatically converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Hudson Global 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Certificates of Designation for the Series A preferred stock of both Hudson and Star are substantially similar.

    In the coming weeks, Hudson Global expects to change its name to Star Equity Holdings, Inc. and the ticker symbols of its common and preferred stock to STRR and STRRP, respectively.

    Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Hudson Global stated, "We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our merger with Star. We extend our sincere gratitude to the stockholders and independent directors of both companies for their diligent efforts throughout this process. Looking forward, we are excited about the new opportunities this merger creates. We will seek to leverage the combined company's size, diversified revenue streams, profitability, stock trading liquidity, increased market capitalization, and the utilization of Hudson Global's sizable NOLs to deliver compelling returns to our stockholders going forward."

    The Merger creates a larger, multi-sector holding company with pro-forma annualized revenues of $210 million and greater revenue diversity, providing a better path to a possible future addition to the Russell 2000 index. The Merger also increases the likelihood of utilizing Hudson Global's $240 million U.S. federal net operating losses ("NOL") (1).

    Corporate Structure, Management Team, and Board Composition

    Hudson Global now has four reporting segments: Building Solutions (KBS Builders, EdgeBuilder-Glenbrook, and Timber Technologies), Business Services (Hudson RPO), Energy Services (Alliance Drilling Tools), and Investments. The Merger is expected to have no material impact on clients, employees, or brand names of any of the operating businesses.

    Hudson Global's board of directors is composed of seven members, six of whom are independent. Jeff Eberwein serves as CEO and Rick Coleman as COO.

    Additional Transaction Details

    The completion of the transaction followed the satisfaction of all conditions to the Closing of the Merger, including approvals by the stockholders of both Hudson Global and Star. As a result of the Merger, former Star common stockholders received approximately 744,291 shares of Hudson Global common stock for their Star common shares and former Star preferred stockholders received approximately 2,690,637 shares of Hudson Global Series A preferred stock. No fractional shares of Hudson Global common stock were issued in the Merger, and Star stockholders became entitled to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

    Houlihan Lokey acted as financial advisor to Hudson Global in connection with the Merger. Oberon Securities acted as financial advisor to Star in connection with the Merger.
