Star Equity Holdings and Hudson Global Sign Definitive Merger Agreement
OLD GREENWICH, Conn., May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Equity Holdings, Inc. ('Star') (Nasdaq: STRR; STRRP) and Hudson Global, Inc. ('Hudson') (Nasdaq: HSON) (the 'Companies'), announced today the signing of a definitive merger agreement (the 'Merger'). Pursuant to the Merger, Star will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson to form 'NewCo'. Prior to signing this Merger agreement, both Companies' Boards of Directors established independent special committees to evaluate the benefits of the potential Merger. While the terms of the Merger have been approved by both special committees and each of the Companies' respective Boards of Directors, closing is subject to regulatory approvals as well as the affirmative votes of Hudson and Star shareholders at their respective shareholder meetings to be held later this year. The Boards of Directors of Hudson and Star have recommended that the respective shareholders of HSON and STRR vote FOR the Merger at these meetings. Transaction Highlights Scale: Creates larger multi-sector holding company (with pro-forma annualized revenues of $210 million) on better path to eventually getting added to the Russell 2000 index. Profitability: NewCo goal of $40 million in Adjusted EBITDA by 2030. Synergies: At least $2 million of annualized cost savings projected within 12 months of the completion of the Merger, equating to approximately $0.57 in incremental pro-forma EPS. NOL Utilization: NewCo more likely to utilize its $240 million (1) US Federal net operating losses ('NOL') than Hudson standalone. Owner Mindset: Board and management currently own approximately 24% (2) of NewCo's pro-forma shares outstanding and expect to own more over time. Greater revenue diversity by constituting NewCo as a holding company and adding new business segments from Star. Increased ability to finance growth, including acquisitions, by leveraging NewCo's strong pro-forma balance sheet and credit profile. Increased ability to monetize or raise capital for NewCo's business units at private market values. Transaction Details The Merger will be a stock-for-stock transaction. Star will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson, and Hudson will be the surviving public entity. Hudson will acquire all the outstanding common and preferred shares of Star, issuing 0.23 shares of HSON common stock for each share of STRR common stock, approximately in line with the 20-day VWAP trading ratio between the two stocks. Hudson will issue preferred stock with identical terms to Star's preferred stock to be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. Upon completion of the Merger, Hudson shareholders will own approximately 79% of NewCo, and Star shareholders will own approximately 21% of NewCo's estimated 3.49 million shares outstanding. Pending regulatory and shareholder approvals, the Merger is anticipated to close in the second half of 2025. Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Hudson, said, 'We are pleased to announce the signing of this merger agreement, a combination we believe will create more shareholder value than either company could achieve independently. We expect NewCo's operating businesses to flourish inside NewCo's holding company structure, as time and resources previously spent on public company and corporate matters can now be dedicated to organic and inorganic growth opportunities at the operating level. We believe the cost savings and diversification of revenue streams will provide considerable value to shareholders.' Rick Coleman, Star's CEO, noted, 'Since Star converted to its holding company structure in 2019, our goal has been to acquire attractive businesses, either to complement our existing platforms, or to establish new growth platforms. While we have completed and continue to work on various M&A initiatives, this transaction is transformative for Star. Star's shareholders will benefit from the combined company's greater scale, profitability, and stock trading liquidity, as well as the financial advantages of increased market capitalization, and the utilization of Hudson's sizable NOL. We look forward to leveraging all of these benefits to maximize shareholder value.' Following the completion of the Merger, NewCo will have four reporting segments: Building Solutions (consisting of 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 impact on clients, employees, or the brand names of any of NewCo's operating businesses. NewCo's board of directors is expected to be composed of the three independent directors from each of Hudson and Star, as well as Jeff Eberwein. NewCo management will include Jeff Eberwein as CEO and Rick Coleman as COO. As of the date of this announcement, Mr. Eberwein, Hudson's CEO, owns 455,390 (3) shares of HSON common stock, and as Executive Chairman of Star, owns 826,530 (3) shares of STRR common stock and 1,182,414 shares of STRRP preferred stock. Star's special committee was advised by Oberon Securities (financial) and Littman Krooks (legal). Hudson's special committee was advised by Houlihan Lokey (financial) and Morgan Lewis (legal). A Form 8-K related to the Merger agreement will be filed with the SEC.

Note 4: In connection with our currency diversification strategy, we have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of 10 major currencies in which we hold our equity. The total effect of the currency diversification strategy is reported in Comprehensive Income and the components are reported in (1) Other Income and (2) Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') on the balance sheet. The effect of the GLOBAL on our comprehensive income can be estimated by multiplying the total equity for the period by the change in the U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL during the same period.
