from, or in addition to, interests of the BGSF stockholders generally, including interests that could vary among our executive
officers. The BGSF Board of Directors was aware of and considered these interests during its deliberations of the merits of the
Sale and in determining to recommend to BGSF stockholders that they vote for the Sale Proposal and thereby approve the transactions
contemplated by the Sale (to the extent such interests existed at that time).</FONT></P>

non-votes relate to shares held in &ldquo;street name&rdquo; through brokers, dealers, banks and other nominees. If your shares are held
in &ldquo;street name&rdquo; through an account with a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee, such broker, dealer, bank or other nominee
is required to vote your shares according to your instructions, if provided. If you do not provide specific voting instructions, under
the New York Stock Exchange (&ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;) rules governing banks and brokers who submit a proxy card with respect to shares held
in &ldquo;street name,&rdquo; such banks and brokers have the discretionary authority to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine
matters. All of the proposals currently expected to be voted on at the special meeting are considered non-routine matters. A broker non-vote
occurs when a bank or broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and the bank or broker cannot
vote the shares at its discretion because the matter is not considered a routine matter under NYSE rules. In tabulating the voting results
for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal and are not
considered votes cast on the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as voting &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; the Sale Proposal,
but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for the Compensation Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal so long as a quorum is present.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

Proxy Statement contains or incorporates by reference statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning
of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Sale,
obtaining stockholder approval, satisfying closing conditions, the closing, including its timing, of the Sale, the use of proceeds
of the Sale, the projected operational and financial performance of BGSF and its various subsidiaries, including following the
Sale, its offerings of services and solutions and developments and reception of its services and solutions by client partners,
and BGSF&rsquo;s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, or strategies regarding the future revenue and the
business plans of BGSF&rsquo;s management team. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may
be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations
of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo;
&ldquo;believe,&rdquo; &ldquo;continue,&rdquo; &ldquo;could,&rdquo; &ldquo;endeavor,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo;
&ldquo;intends,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;might,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;possible,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo;
&ldquo;predict,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;would,&rdquo; and similar expressions
may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management
of BGSF considering their respective experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments
and their potential effects on BGSF as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no
assurance that future developments affecting BGSF will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number
of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties), or other assumptions that may cause actual results
or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the closing
conditions for the Sale not being satisfied, the ability of the parties to close the transaction on the expected closing timeline
or at all, the nature, cost, or outcome of any legal proceedings relating to the transaction, the impact of the contemplated transaction
on our stock price, the ability of BGSF to service or otherwise pay its debt obligations, including in the event the closing does
not occur, the mix of services or solutions utilized by BGSF&rsquo;s client partners and such client partners&rsquo; needs for
these services or solutions, market acceptance of new offerings of services or solutions, the ability of BGSF to expand what it
does for existing client partners as well as to add new client partners, whether BGSF will have sufficient capital to operate
as anticipated, the impact the transaction or its announcement may have on BGSF&rsquo;s operations, team members, field talent,
client partners, and other constituents, the demand for BGSF&rsquo;s services and solutions, economic activity in BGSF&rsquo;s
industry and in general, and certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions described under the heading &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo;
and in BGSF&rsquo;s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results
may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.</FONT></P>

jurisdiction has enacted, enforced, issued, promulgated, or entered any law or order permanently restraining, enjoining, making
illegal, or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Sale (and, if an order, such order shall become final and non-appealable);
(ii) the Sale has not been consummated on or before the End Date, (iii) BGSF fails to obtain the Required Stockholder Approval
at the special meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof); or (iv) the other party is in breach of the Equity Purchase
Agreement in a manner that would result in a failure of an applicable closing condition or otherwise cause the Closing to fail

after written notice thereof to the party in breach and (B) two (2) business days prior to&nbsp;the End Date. The Equity Purchase
Agreement may also be terminated by BGSF upon written notice to Purchaser if (i) at any time prior to receiving the Required Stockholder
Approval, BGSF receives a Superior Proposal that does not result from a material breach of the no-solicitation covenant under
the Purchase Agreement, is authorized by the BGSF Board of Directors to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement in connection
with such Superior Proposal and pays the Seller Termination Fee in accordance with the Purchase Agreement; or (ii) all of the
closing conditions set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 of the Equity Purchase Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other
than those conditions to be satisfied at Closing) and capable of being satisfied (and would have been satisfied) on the date the
Closing should have occurred under Section 1.7 of the Equity Purchase Agreement, and Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing

such as the Sale are often subject to lawsuits by stockholders. It is possible that our common stockholders or other stakeholders

addition, our ability to execute on our business strategies for the Retained Business depends on the retention and recruitment
of qualified executives and other professionals. We rely upon the services of our current executive and senior management teams.
The market for qualified executives, senior managers and other employees has become very competitive. As a result of the Sale,
we may experience higher employee turnover and finding qualified replacements may be more difficult. The loss of the services
of members of our executive and/or senior management teams or our inability to hire and retain other talented personnel could
delay or prevent us from succeeding in executing our strategies, which could negatively impact the Retained Business. Further,
while the completion of the Sale is pending, we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel and our management&rsquo;s focus
and attention and employee resources may be diverted from operational matters.</FONT></P>

BGSF is expected to have fewer revenues and assets following the Sale, there is a possibility that such reduced revenues and assets

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">The
continued listing standards of NYSE include, among other things, requirements that we maintain certain levels of stockholders&rsquo;
equity, total assets, total revenue, market capitalization and/or minimum trading price. Even though we currently satisfy these
requirements, following the Sale, our business will be smaller, which may cause us to fail to satisfy NYSE&rsquo;s continued listing
standards. In the event that we are unable to satisfy such continued listing standards, our common stock may be delisted from
NYSE. Any delisting of our common stock from such market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease
the liquidity of our outstanding shares of common stock, reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital, reduce the price
at which our common stock trades and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects
for our stockholders. In addition, delisting of our common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise
seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities
at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect the price of our common stock and our business, financial
condition and results of operations.</FONT></P>

foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the BGSF Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes
the material factors considered by the BGSF Board of Directors. The BGSF Board of Directors collectively reached the conclusion
to approve the Purchase Agreement and deem the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and the other Transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement to be advisable and in the best interests of BGSF, in light of the various factors described above and other factors
that the members of the BGSF Board believed were appropriate. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the BGSF Board
of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Transactions and the complexity of these matters, the BGSF Board of Directors
did not consider it practical, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors
it considered in reaching its decision and did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor,
or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of the BGSF Board of Directors.
Rather, the BGSF Board of Directors made its recommendation based on the totality of the information available to the BGSF Board
of Directors, including discussions with, and questioning of, BGSF&rsquo;s management, its financial advisors and the legal advisors.
In considering the factors discussed above, individual members of the BGSF Board of Directors may have given different weights
to different factors.</FONT></P>

BGSF Board&rsquo;s direction, Houlihan Lokey assumed that the Projections provided a reasonable basis on which to evaluate the

Projections for purposes of its analyses and opinion. Houlihan Lokey expressed no view or opinion with respect to the Projections
or the assumptions on which they were based. Management of BGSF advised Houlihan Lokey, and at the BGSF Board&rsquo;s direction
Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed, that (i) the Projections (for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025) were the only
current, reliable projections in the possession of BGSF with respect to the future financial performance of the Business and (ii)
all prior projections relating to the Business made available to Houlihan Lokey by BGSF management (including all prior projections
that encompassed periods following December 31, 2025) should not have been used or relied upon for purposes of Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s

Lokey did not perform a discounted cash flow analysis of the BG Entities or the Business, because no reliable, long-term forecasts
with respect to the future financial performance of the BG Entities or the Business were available.</FONT></P>

used in Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s analyses for comparative purposes is identical to BGSF, the BG Entities, the Business or the Transactions

the implied value reference ranges indicated by Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values
or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses.
In addition, any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect
the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which may depend on a variety of factors, many of which are
beyond the control of BGSF. Much of the information used in, and accordingly the results of, Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s analyses are
inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.</FONT></P>

summary of Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s analyses is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s opinion.
The preparation of such an opinion is a complex process involving various quantitative and qualitative judgments and determinations
with respect to the financial, comparative and other analytical methods employed and the adaptation and application of these methods
to the unique facts and circumstances presented. As a consequence, neither Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s opinion nor its underlying analyses
is readily susceptible to summary description. Houlihan Lokey arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken
by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any individual analysis, methodology
or factor. While the results of each analysis were taken into account in reaching Houlihan Lokey&rsquo;s overall conclusion with
respect to fairness, Houlihan Lokey did not make separate or quantifiable judgments regarding individual analyses. Accordingly,
Houlihan Lokey believes that its analyses and the following summary must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">While the Projections were prepared in

no assurance can be made regarding actual future events.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Since the Projections cover multiple periods,
such information by its nature becomes subject to greater uncertainty with each successive period. The estimates and assumptions
underlying the Projections involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory, and
financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant
business, economic, competitive, and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties
described under the section entitled &ldquo;Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,&rdquo; all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond BGSF&rsquo;s and/or Purchaser&rsquo;s control and will be beyond their control
following the Sale. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions or projected results will be realized, and actual
results may differ materially from those reflected in the Projections, whether or not the Sale is completed.</P>

were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial data, published guidelines
of the SEC regarding forward-looking statements, or U.S. GAAP. BGSF&rsquo;s senior management team prepared the Projections in
good faith and on a reasonable basis based on the best information available to BGSF&rsquo;s senior management team at the time
the Projections were prepared. The Projections, however, are not actual results and should not be relied upon as being necessarily
indicative of actual future results, and readers of this Proxy Statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the information
provided in this &ldquo;Certain Financial Projections&rdquo; section of the Proxy Statement.</P>

BGSF&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm, did not provide any assistance in preparing the Projections and has not
examined, compiled, or otherwise performed any procedures with respect to the Projections and, accordingly, Whitley Penn LLP has not
expressed any opinion or given any other form of assurance with respect thereto and assumes no responsibility for the prospective
financial information. The Whitley Penn LLP reports incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement relate solely to the
historical financial information of BGSF. Such reports do not extend to the Projections and should not be read to do so.</P>

were prepared during the periods described above and have not been updated to reflect any changes since the date of their preparation

to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event
that any or all of the underlying assumptions are not realized, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.</P>

received the Projections then considered, or now considers, the Projections to be necessarily predictive of actual future events,
and the Projections should not be relied upon as such. BGSF views the Projections as non-material because of the inherent risks

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In considering the recommendation of the
BGSF Board of Directors with respect to the Sale, BGSF stockholders should be aware that BGSF&rsquo;s directors and executive officers
have interests in the Sale, including financial interests, that may be different from, or in addition to, interests of the BGSF
stockholders generally, including interests that could vary among our executive officers. The BGSF Board of Directors was aware
of and considered these interests during its deliberations of the merits of the Sale and in determining to recommend to BGSF stockholders
that they vote for the Sale Proposal and thereby approve the transactions contemplated by the Sale (to the extent such interests
existed at that time).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Sale could be considered to constitute
the sale of substantially all of BGSF&rsquo;s property and assets within the meaning of Section 271 of the DGCL and related case
law, which will be deemed to be a change of control pursuant to BGSF&rsquo;s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;<B>Equity
Plan</B>&rdquo;) and certain employment agreements and other agreements with the named executive officers of BGSF. None of the
three named executive officers is expected to transfer with BGSF Professional and BG F&amp;A to Buyer. Beth Garvey, BGSF&rsquo;s
former Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, resigned from her director and officer positions within BGSF and its subsidiaries
effective as of July 1, 2025 to pursue other interests. In connection with Ms. Garvey&rsquo;s resignation, on June 14, 2025, B
G Staff Services, Inc., a subsidiary of BGSF, and Ms. Garvey entered into a Separation Agreement (the &ldquo;<B>Separation Agreement</B>&rdquo;)
providing for, among other things, and subject to the execution and delivery by Ms. Garvey of a mutual release and her compliance
with the obligations under the Separation Agreement, salary continuation payments for 12 months, COBRA reimbursement for up to
18 months, full vesting of outstanding options and restricted shares of common stock, vested options to remain exercisable until
their expiration, and, if a change in control (which is defined to include the Sale) occurs on or before July 1, 2026, additional

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">BGSF does not currently expect to terminate
the employment of Mr. Schroeder or Ms. Brown, and BGSF is not aware of any contemplated resignation by Mr. Schroeder or Ms. Brown.
The BGSF Board of Directors and the compensation committee of the BGSF Board of Directors (the &ldquo;<B>Compensation Committee</B>&rdquo;)
will retain authority to continue Mr. Schroeder&rsquo;s and Ms. Brown&rsquo;s outstanding equity awards, and may consider changes
to their respective compensation in connection with or in a prescribed period following the Sale, including, in Mr. Schroeder&rsquo;s
case, changes in compensation arrangements in response to any circumstances that may constitute &ldquo;Good Reason&rdquo; as defined
in his employment agreement. In addition, the BGSF Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review overall executive
compensation and may consider changes to align such compensation with BGSF&rsquo;s go-forward business.</P>

awards.</P>

to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for
the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Equity Purchase Agreement
are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about BGSF, the Acquired Companies and Purchaser at the time
they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that BGSF makes publicly available
in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations
and warranties may have changed since the date of the Equity Purchase Agreement or may change in the future, and these changes
may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures made by BGSF, the Acquired Companies or Purchaser. As a result of the foregoing,
you are strongly encouraged not to rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Equity Purchase Agreement,
or any descriptions thereof, as accurate characterizations of the state of facts or condition of BGSF, the Acquired Companies or
Purchaser or any other party. You are likewise cautioned that you are not a third-party beneficiary under the Equity Purchase Agreement
and do not have any direct rights or remedies pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this section
titled &ldquo;Equity Purchase Agreement&rdquo; shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Equity Purchase Agreement, to the

of the amount of the adjustments and other related items with reasonable supporting detail at least five (5) business days prior
to the Closing Date. BGSF will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser&rsquo;s review of the Closing Statement
and will consider any comments proposed by Purchaser. Following the Closing, Purchaser will prepare its own Closing Statement within
ninety (90) days, setting forth the final calculation of the adjustments and resulting consideration. BGSF has forty-five (45)
days to review the Closing Statement prepared by Purchaser, with the Closing Statement becoming final and binding upon the expiration
of such 45-day period unless BGSF provides written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement prior to such expiration
date. BGSF and Purchaser will corporate in good faith to resolve any disputes in connection with the Closing Statement.</P>

Agreement. In addition, some of those representations and warranties were made as of specified dates, may be subject to a contractual
standard of materiality or material adverse effect different from that generally applicable to stockholders or may have been used
for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Equity Purchase Agreement rather than establishing matters
as facts. Many of the representations and warranties contained in the Equity Purchase Agreement are qualified by materiality or
Material Adverse Effect, and are further modified and limited by confidential disclosure letter delivered by BGSF to Purchaser
and as may or may not be specifically indicated in the text of the Equity Purchase Agreement.</P>

from their assistance or activities in connection with the Debt Financing, except in cases of bad faith, gross negligence, or willful
misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Purchase Agreement, BGSF is not required to provide any assistance

manner, result in BGSF or its subsidiaries incurring additional liabilities or fees in connection with the Debt Financing, breach
any confidentiality obligations, material contractual obligations or the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, or require BGSF
to authorize, execute, deliver, perform or amend any agreements or documents in connection with the Debt Financing that are not
contingent upon the Closing or would be effective prior to the Closing.</P>

preliminary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were prepared by management in accordance with Article 11 of
Regulation S-X for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent what the results of operations or
financial position would have been had the Sale occurred on the dates noted above, nor what they will be for any future periods. The
pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the preliminary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements have been made. The preliminary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not include the realization of
any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that might result from the Sale. Additionally, BGSF anticipates that
certain nonrecurring charges will be incurred in connection with the Sale, the substantial majority of which consist of fees paid to
legal counsel and other professional advisors. Any such charge could affect the future results of BGSF in
the period in which such charges are incurred&#894; however, these costs are not expected to be incurred in any period beyond the
closing date of the Sale. Accordingly, the preliminary unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the thirteen
week period ended March 30, 2025 and for the years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023 reflects the effects of these non-recurring charges, which are not included in the historical
statements of operations of BGSF for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2025 and for the years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023.</FONT></P>

reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to stockholders who may have more than one account holding BGSF Common
Stock but sharing the same address, we have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called &ldquo;householding.&rdquo; Under this
procedure, certain stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our proxy materials
until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they want to receive separate copies. This procedure reduces
duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources. Stockholders who participate in householding
will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions. If you receive a single set of proxy materials
as a result of householding, and you would like to have separate copies of our proxy materials mailed to you, please submit a
request to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices located at 5850 Granite Parkway, Suite 730, Plano, Texas
75024, or call Three Part Advisors, our investor relations consultant, at (214) 872-2710, and we will promptly send you what you
have requested. You can also contact Three Part Advisors at the phone number above if you received multiple copies of the proxy
materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, or if you would like to opt out of householding for future
mailings.</FONT></P>

As of the date hereof, Purchaser has no reason to believe that it or any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely
basis any condition to funding under the Equity Financing Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies
related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing other than as set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter. As
of the date hereof, Buyer has no reason to believe that the Equity Financing will not be made available to Purchaser on the Closing
Date. All unpaid fees and other amounts that may become due and payable under the Equity Financing Commitment Letter are not required
to be paid earlier than the Closing. Purchaser has timely paid in full any and all commitment fees and all other fees, expenses
