Star Equity Holdings' subsidiary Hudson Talent Solutions completed its asset purchase of Cornerstone RPO, LLC on November 2, 2026, paying $500,000 at closing with additional deferred and contingent payments possible. The filing discloses the deal terms but no financial results for Cornerstone, so shareholders cannot assess its size relative to Star's results from the filing alone.
