HireQuest, Inc. (HQI) � Form 4 insider filing dated 06/25/2025

Director and 10% owner Edward Jackson reported two equity grants made on 06/23/2025:

  • 1,067 restricted shares issued in lieu of a quarterly cash retainer. 889 shares vest on 09/23/2025; the remaining 178 shares vest on 06/23/2027.
  • 4,000 restricted shares issued as an Annual Award under the 2019 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, vesting in full on 06/23/2027.

The reference closing price for both grants, used for compensation valuation, was $10.12 per share, implying an aggregate notional value of roughly $51,300.

Following the awards, Jackson’s direct beneficial ownership increased from 2,632,043 to 2,636,043 common shares, a marginal 0.2% addition to his existing stake. No derivative securities were involved and there were no dispositions.

The transactions represent routine, board-approved equity compensation rather than open-market purchases. While they modestly deepen insider alignment, they do not materially change overall ownership or signal a new view on valuation.

HireQuest, Inc. (HQI) � Comunicazione interna Form 4 datata 25/06/2025

Il direttore e azionista con oltre il 10% Edward Jackson ha segnalato due assegnazioni di azioni effettuate il 23/06/2025:

  • 1.067 azioni vincolate emesse in sostituzione di un compenso trimestrale in contanti. 889 azioni saranno liberate il 23/09/2025; le restanti 178 azioni saranno liberate il 23/06/2027.
  • 4.000 azioni vincolate assegnate come Premio Annuale nell'ambito del Piano di Compensazione per Direttori Non Dipendenti 2019, con maturazione completa prevista per il 23/06/2027.

Il prezzo di chiusura di riferimento per entrambe le assegnazioni, utilizzato per la valutazione della compensazione, è stato di $10,12 per azione, corrispondente a un valore nominale complessivo di circa $51.300.

Dopo le assegnazioni, la proprietà diretta di Jackson è aumentata da 2.632.043 a 2.636.043 azioni ordinarie, un incremento marginale dello 0,2% rispetto alla sua partecipazione precedente. Non sono stati coinvolti strumenti derivati né ci sono state cessioni.

Le operazioni rappresentano una normale compensazione azionaria approvata dal consiglio e non acquisti sul mercato aperto. Sebbene aumentino leggermente l'allineamento degli insider, non modificano in modo significativo la proprietà complessiva né indicano una nuova valutazione del titolo.

HireQuest, Inc. (HQI) � Presentación interna Formulario 4 con fecha 25/06/2025

El director y propietario del 10% Edward Jackson reportó dos concesiones de acciones realizadas el 23/06/2025:

  • 4,000 acciones restringidas emitidas como Premio Anual bajo el Plan de Compensación para Directores No Empleados 2019, con liberación total el 23/06/2027.

El precio de cierre de referencia para ambas concesiones, usado para la valoración de la compensación, fue de $10.12 por acción, implicando un valor nominal agregado de aproximadamente $51,300.

Tras las concesiones, la propiedad directa de Jackson aumentó de 2,632,043 a 2,636,043 acciones comunes, un incremento marginal del 0.2% sobre su participación previa. No se involucraron valores derivados ni hubo disposiciones.

Las transacciones representan una compensación accionaria rutinaria aprobada por la junta, no compras en el mercado abierto. Aunque profundizan ligeramente la alineación de los insiders, no cambian materialmente la propiedad general ni señalan una nueva perspectiva sobre la valoración.

HireQuest, Inc. (HQI) � Déclaration d’initié Formulaire 4 datée du 25/06/2025

Le directeur et détenteur de 10% Edward Jackson a déclaré deux attributions d’actions effectuées le 23/06/2025 :

  • 1 067 actions restreintes émises en lieu et place d’une rémunération trimestrielle en espèces. 889 actions seront acquises le 23/09/2025 ; les 178 restantes seront acquises le 23/06/2027.
  • 4 000 actions restreintes attribuées en tant que Prix Annuel dans le cadre du Plan de Rémunération des Administrateurs Non Employés 2019, avec acquisition complète le 23/06/2027.

Le prix de clôture de référence pour les deux attributions, utilisé pour l’évaluation de la rémunération, était de 10,12 $ par action, impliquant une valeur nominale totale d’environ 51 300 $.

Après ces attributions, la détention directe de Jackson est passée de 2 632 043 à 2 636 043 actions ordinaires, soit une augmentation marginale de 0,2 % de sa participation précédente. Aucun instrument dérivé n’a été impliqué et aucune cession n’a eu lieu.

Ces opérations représentent une rémunération en actions de routine approuvée par le conseil, et non des achats sur le marché ouvert. Bien qu’elles renforcent légèrement l’alignement des initiés, elles ne modifient pas de manière significative la propriété globale ni ne signalent une nouvelle vision de la valorisation.

HireQuest, Inc. (HQI) � Insider-Meldung Form 4 vom 25.06.2025

Direktor und 10%-Eigentümer Edward Jackson meldete zwei Aktienzuteilungen vom 23.06.2025:

  • 1.067 eingeschränkte Aktien, ausgegeben anstelle einer vierteljährlichen Barvergütung. 889 Aktien werden am 23.09.2025 freigegeben; die restlichen 178 Aktien am 23.06.2027.
  • 4.000 eingeschränkte Aktien, ausgegeben als Jahresauszeichnung im Rahmen des Vergütungsplans für nicht angestellte Direktoren von 2019, mit vollständiger Freigabe am 23.06.2027.

Der Referenzschlusspreis für beide Zuteilungen, verwendet zur Bewertung der Vergütung, betrug $10,12 pro Aktie, was einem Gesamtwert von etwa $51.300 entspricht.

Nach den Zuteilungen stieg Jacksons unmittelbarer Besitz von 2.632.043 auf 2.636.043 Stammaktien, eine marginale Steigerung von 0,2 % seines bisherigen Anteils. Es waren keine Derivate beteiligt und es gab keine Veräußerungen.

Die Transaktionen stellen routinemäßige, vom Vorstand genehmigte Aktienvergütungen dar und keine Käufe am offenen Markt. Zwar vertiefen sie die Interessenbindung der Insider geringfügig, verändern aber die Gesamtbesitzstruktur nicht wesentlich und signalisieren keine neue Bewertungsperspektive.

Positive
  • Equity-based compensation reinforces alignment between the director and shareholders without cash outlay.
  • No insider selling was disclosed, avoiding negative market perception.
Negative
  • Immaterial size—the 0.2% stake increase is unlikely to influence ownership structure or signal valuation conviction.
  • Shares were granted, not purchased; therefore, they do not reflect an active investment decision by the insider.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine equity grants align director incentives; impact on governance and float negligible.

HireQuest continues to compensate non-employee directors primarily with equity, reinforcing shareholder alignment and conserving cash. The two grants totalling 5,067 shares follow the company’s 2019 Director Compensation Plan and vest over one- and two-year horizons, supporting long-term engagement. Because Jackson already controls over 2.6 million shares, the additional 0.2% stake does not materially shift control dynamics or free float. No sale was reported, avoiding negative sentiment often linked to insider disposals. Overall, the filing is governance-neutral and informational rather than market-moving.

TL;DR: Insider accepts stock, not cash—symbolic positive, but too small to affect valuation.

The $51k value of the awards is immaterial against HireQuest’s market cap, yet signals the director’s willingness to receive compensation in equity. Because shares were granted, not bought on the open market, the transactions lack the conviction typically associated with insider purchases. The multi-year vesting schedule limits near-term float impact. From a portfolio standpoint, the disclosure neither alters earnings outlook nor risk profile; I treat it as neutral housekeeping.
