Kelly Services Enacts Rights Plan Following Sale of Controlling Voting Stake

Troy, Monday, 12 January 2026.
Kelly Services has implemented a stockholder rights plan after the Adderley Trust agreed to sell 92.2% of the company’s voting stock to a private party. This defensive measure, designed to prevent an abrupt takeover without a control premium, triggers if an entity acquires 75% of Class B shares, ensuring the board has time to evaluate the transaction’s impact on shareholder value.
