General Employment Enterprises renamed GEE Group Inc.

NAPERVILLE - General Employment Enterprises, a provider of professional staffing services and solutions, has received stockholder approval to change its corporate name to GEE Group Inc.

The company has retained its ticker symbol of "JOB" on the New York Stock Exchange. The name change will not affect the rights or interests of the company's shareholders and outstanding stock certificates will not be affected by the name change and will not need to be exchanged.

"Our name change to GEE Group Inc. is transformational and reflective of a new era for the company that will more clearly reflect the company's broad capability of delivering highly specialized staffing, consulting and human resources solutions through highly focused and dedicated service delivery groups in the information technology, health care, engineering and finance/accounting sectors," said Derek E. Dewan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"We will continue consolidating our specialty unit branding as appropriate while integrating key operating and financial functions of the companies we have and will acquire," he added. "We remain highly focused on enhancing shareholder value by accelerating our growth strategy by investing in our existing business segments to accelerate organic growth and to step up the pace of acquiring companies that significantly increase or complement our service offerings, expand our geographic footprint and that have a major positive impact on GEE Group's financial performance."
