HireQuest, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
 
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income based upon the combined historical financial statements of HireQuest, Inc. (“HQI” or the “Company”) and Link Staffing Services Corporation, Franlink, Inc., and Stafflink, Inc. (collectively “Link”), after giving effect to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Link Agreement”) between Link and HQ Link Corporation (“HQ Link”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
 
On February 12, 2021, HQ Link entered into the Link Agreement with Link. Pursuant to the Link Agreement, HQ Link will acquire sellers’ franchise relationships and certain other assets of the sellers for a purchase price of approximately $11.1 million. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Link Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The transaction was financed with cash-on-hand and the Company’s credit facility with Truist Bank and is not subject to any financing condition.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 reflects the transaction as if it occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 reflect the transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2019.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what our results would actually have been had these transactions actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period. You should read the information set forth below together with the notes to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Quarterly Report of the Company on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the audited financial statements of Link for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 and the unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019 included as Exhibit 99.1.
