On May 18, 2015, Hudson Global, Inc. (the “Company”) granted the Company’s Chief Executive Officer 500,000 shares of common stock, 150,000 shares of which were subject to a service based vesting condition and up to 350,000 of which were subject to both a performance based vesting condition and a service based vesting condition (such 350,000 shares, the “Performance Shares”). The Company subsequently determined that 51,800 of the Performance Shares were not validly granted pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “Plan”) because they exceeded the limit on the number of Performance Shares that may be granted to any individual participant under the Plan. Accordingly, the attempted grant of these excess Performance Shares was ineffective, and they were never granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On April 30, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved, and the Company and the Chief Executive Officer executed, an Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Agreement and an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement to correct such agreements to reflect the reduced number of Performance Shares that the Company granted on May 18, 2015. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Agreement and the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Agreement and the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
