DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Hudson Information Technology (US) business (the "US IT business")

On June 15, 2015, the Company completed the sale (the "US IT Business Sale") of substantially all of the assets (excluding working capital) of its US IT business to Mastech, Inc. (the "Purchaser"). The completion of the US IT Business Sale was effective June 14, 2015. The US IT Business Sale was pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2015 (the "Agreement"), by and among the Company, Hudson Global Resources Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Purchaser. At the closing of the U.S. IT Business Sale, the Company received from the Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement the purchase price of $16,977 in cash. As the divestiture did not reach the thresholds required to qualify as discontinued, the operations remain within the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented. The US IT business pre-tax loss in accordance with ASC No. 205 "Reporting Discontinued Operations" ("ASC 205") for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0 and $396, respectively.

As the divestiture did not reach the thresholds required to qualify as discontinued, the operations remain within the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented. The Netherlands pre-tax profit in accordance with ASC 205 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015was $0 and $356, respectively.

The Company concluded that the divestiture of the Legal eDiscovery business and the cessation of operations in Sweden meet the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in ASC 205.
