FAQ

What did James Christopher Hunt report in his Form 4 for KELYA?

Director James Christopher Hunt reported deferred stock awards and updated holdings. He received Class A common stock equivalents under Kelly Services’ Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and disclosed his direct ownership of 25,000 Class A shares and 100 Class B shares after the reported date.

How many Kelly Services Class A share equivalents did Hunt receive?

Hunt received two grants of Class A share equivalents: 17,010.31 and 20,618.56 shares. Both awards were credited at a reference price of $9.70 per share within the Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, reflecting compensation rather than open-market purchases.

Were these KELYA transactions open-market buys or sells?

The reported transactions were not open-market buys or sells. They are coded as acquisition grants under a deferred compensation plan, meaning shares were awarded as director compensation rather than purchased or sold in the market on the transaction date.

How many Kelly Services shares does Hunt hold directly after this filing?

After the reported transactions, Hunt holds 25,000 shares of Kelly Services Class A common stock and 100 shares of Class B common stock directly. The filing lists these positions separately from the deferred stock units held through the Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan.

How are Hunt’s deferred stock awards in KELYA held?

The deferred awards are held indirectly through Kelly Services’ Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Footnotes explain that Hunt deferred compensation, including cash portions of his retainer, into Class A common stock equivalents under this plan rather than receiving immediate cash payments.

What does the Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan mean for KELYA directors?

The Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan allows directors to defer fees into Class A common stock equivalents. Instead of taking cash immediately, directors receive share-based units recorded at a set price, aligning part of their compensation with Kelly Services’ equity over time.
