Star Equity Fund Calls on GEE Group to Change Egregious Execu ve Employment Agreements Management and Board Should Remove All Impediments to Maximizing Sale Proceeds Old Greenwich, CT – April 29, 2026 – Star Equity Fund, LP ("Star Equity Fund" or "we"), a 5.4% stockholder of GEE Group, Inc. (NYSE American: JOB) ("GEE Group" or the "Company"), issues the following statement calling on GEE Group's Management (the “Management”) and Board of Directors (the "Board") to nego ate revised employment agreements for CEO Derek Dewan, CFO Kim Thorpe, and COO Alex Stuckey (together, the “2023 Agreements”) removing the value-destroying, excessive severance and the excep onally an -shareholder change in control (“CIC”) provisions. In our March 3, 2026 press release, we encouraged the Board to run a sale process to maximize value for all GEE Group stockholders, and we applaud the Company’s subsequent decision to hire Roth Capital partners to assist in evalua ng strategic alterna ves. We believe that, as part of this process, JOB’s Management and Board should remove all impediments to maximizing the poten al sale proceeds. GEE Group’s Board Agreed to Massive CIC Payments to Management in the 2023 Agreements On March 30, 2023, a shareholder ac vist filed a Schedule 13-D on JOB and within one month’s me, without prior no ce or shareholder approval, the Board rewarded a severely underperforming management team with the 2023 Agreements. Notably, prior to our January 21, 2026 press release that effec vely “put GEE Group in play”, JOB’s stock price had declined approximately 58%, 82%, and 96% over the previous 3, 5, and 10 years, respec vely. Despite this massive decline in stockholder value, we es mate a CIC per the 2023 Agreements would trigger payments of at least $8 million to the three execu ves – a staggering 35% of JOB’s unaffected market cap. The 2023 Agreements are Excessive, An -Shareholder, and Disrup ve to a Value-Maximizing Sale Process The 2023 Agreements contain provisions that impose massive, open-ended financial obliga ons on the JOB shareholders – obliga ons that will destroy significant value for JOB’s long-suffering shareholders. Specifically, upon a CIC, the 2023 Agreements provide:  A lump sum cash severance due to each execu ve equal to three mes the sum of (i) base salary plus (ii) maximum target cash bonus without regard to any achievement of performance targets.  Unlimited tax gross-up provisions manda ng the Company to pay the full 20% excise tax burden, as well as taxes on the gross up payment itself, on any amounts considered excess parachute payments by the IRS – an uncapped obliga on en rely at the expense of stockholders.  An unusual and easily triggered CIC defini on that includes: (i) the acquisi on of more than 20% of JOB’s stock by any individual or group, or the sale of more than 20% of assets – thresholds no reasonable person would characterize as a CIC, and (ii) the incumbent board members ceasing to cons tute at least 2/3 of a majority on the Board. Taken together, these provisions do not merely compensate JOB’s execu ves for a CIC but ac vely impede the Board’s ability to run a clean, compe ve, and value-maximizing sale process by diver ng significant sums from stockholders to a poorly performing management team. GEE Group shareholders deserve a Board that is fully commi ed to maximizing shareholder value rather than one more focused on Management compensa on and protec ng its own tenure. We believe a robust sale process is the best way for the Board to maximize value for JOB shareholders, and the Board should take immediate ac on to remove all impediments to doing so. Star Equity Fund remains ready to engage construc vely with the Board to help maximize value for all shareholders.
