Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On December 23, 2019, the Board of Directors of HireQuest, Inc. (the "Company") adopted a resolution changing the Company's fiscal year from a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to the last day in December to a calendar year ending on December 31. This change will take effect immediately.

The Company's first report following the effective date of this change is an annual report on Form 10-K. That report is expected to contain the information required by Rules 13a-10 and 15d-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The change in the Company's fiscal year end results in the addition of two operating days to the fourth quarter of the 2019 fiscal year, December 30 and 31, 2019, compared to the days which would have been included under the Company's prior 52/53 week fiscal year. The two operating days added in 2019 typically represent low revenue days due to the holiday season and potential for winter weather. Thus, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the comparability of its financial results across periods.

Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "may," "will," "should," "could," "would" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.

While we believe these statements are accurate, forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are inherently uncertain. They are based only on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. We cannot assure you that these expectations will occur, and our actual results may be significantly different. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements made by us include the following: the level of demand and financial performance of the temporary staffing industry; the financial performance of our franchisees; changes in customer demand; the extent to which we are successful in gaining new long-term relationships with customers or retaining existing ones and the level of service failures that could lead customers to use competitors' services; significant investigative or legal proceedings including, without limitation, those brought about by the existing regulatory environment or changes in the regulations governing the temporary staffing industry; strategic actions, including acquisitions and dispositions and our success in integrated acquired businesses including, without limitation, successful integration following the Legacy HQ/Command Center merger; disruptions to our technology network including computer systems and software, as well as natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods, and earthquakes or man-made or other disruptions of our operating systems; and the factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2018 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 29, 2019.
