BGSF, Inc. (NYSE: BGSF), a national provider of consulting, managed services, and workforce solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives and has engaged Houlihan Lokey as its financial advisors in this endeavor to maximize shareholder value, and the Company has also suspended its quarterly cash dividend until this strategic review is complete.

“Given the continued dislocation of BGSF’s public market valuation, the Board and I believe evaluating strategic alternatives and suspending the cash dividend are prudent measures as we continue to look for ways to maximize value for our shareholders,” said Beth Garvey, Chair, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

There are no assurances of the timing or outcome of this review or that this review will result in a merger, divestiture, sale, or other transaction, and the Company will not comment further until it determines that disclosure is appropriate or required.
