TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) has adopted a limited duration shareholder rights agreement in response to HireQuest's (Nasdaq: HQI) unsolicited proposal to acquire TrueBlue at $7.50 per share. The Rights Agreement, effective until May 13, 2026, implements a "poison pill" strategy that allows shareholders to purchase additional shares at a 50% discount if any entity acquires 15% (or 20% for certain Schedule 13G investors) or more of TrueBlue's common stock without Board approval.
The agreement aims to protect shareholder interests by ensuring potential acquirers pay an appropriate control premium and giving the Board sufficient time to evaluate acquisition proposals. The Board retains the right to redeem rights at $0.01 per right or exchange them for common stock. Existing shareholders above the threshold will be grandfathered, subject to certain conditions.
TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) has unanimously rejected an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from HireQuest to acquire all TrueBlue common shares at $7.50 per share in an all-stock transaction. The Board determined that the proposal significantly undervalues the company and is not in shareholders' best interests. This rejection follows a previous unsolicited offer from HireQuest in February 2025 at $12.30 per share, which was also rejected. The latest proposal, received on May 9, 2025, represents a significant decrease from the previous offer. TrueBlue's Board remains committed to maximizing shareholder value and will continue executing its strategic plan. Sidley Austin LLP serves as TrueBlue's legal advisor.
