Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
 
On December 3, 2019, as part of its post-merger review of the corporate governance policies of HireQuest, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and approved the HireQuest, Inc. Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”). The Code was adopted to, among other things, address the changes to the Company resulting from the merger of Command Center, Inc. and Hire Quest Holdings, LLC. The Code applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The Code replaces the Command Center, Inc. Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct in its entirety (the “Command Center Code”).
 
The adoption of the Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, whether explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Command Center Code. A copy of the Code is available on the Company’s website at www.hirequestllc.com by entering the “Invest in HireQuest” tab, then clicking the “Investor Relations” button, and finally selecting “Corporate Governance.” The contents of the Company’s website are not incorporated by reference in this report. The foregoing summary of the Code is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, attached hereto as Exhibit 14.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
