Item 5.01.

Change in Control of Registrant.
|
On November 23, 2010, General Employment Enterprises, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), received notice from its stockholder, PSQ, LLC (“PSQ”), which owns 9,735,287 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), or approximately [65.5%] of its issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “PSQ Shares”), that the sole member of PSQ, Stephen Pence, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, had sold his entire membership interest in PSQ to Gregory L. Skaggs, effective as of November 17, 2010. As a result of the transaction, the Company believes that Mr. Skaggs may now be deemed to have voting and investment control over the PSQ Shares. The membership interests in PSQ were sold to Mr. Skaggs in consideration for Mr. Skaggs’ assumption of promissory notes issued by Mr. Pence to Accredited Investor Resources, LLC in the original principal amounts of $1,925,000 and $1,221,172.20.
As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Triad Personnel Services, Inc., DMCC Staffing, LLC (“DMCC”), RFFG of Cleveland, LLC (“RFFG”) and Thomas J. Bean, under which, the Company has agreed to issue $2,400,000 in shares of its Common Stock to DMCC and RFFG upon fulfillment of certain conditions to closing and receipt of (a) stockholder approval of the transaction and of an increase to the Company’s authorized Common Stock and (b) approval of an additional listing application by the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange. The Company may also be required to issue additional shares of its Common Stock to DMCC and RFFG in accordance with an earn-out provision contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and resultant issuance of shares of Common Stock to DMCC and RFFG may result in a change in control of the Company.
