• No new or amended employment agreement and no change to Hawkins’ compensation in connection with the appointment.
• Hawkins joined Cross Country in 2014 and previously served as VP of Centralized Services (2014–2019), VP of Shared Services & VP of Nurse and Allied Operations (2019), Division Senior VP of Nurse & Allied Operations (2020–2022), Senior VP of Enterprise Operations (2022–2024), and Chief Solutions Officer (2024–2025).
• Company reported no related-party arrangements or family relationships related to the appointment and no transaction requiring Item 404 disclosure.

Why It Matters This is an internal promotion to a senior operational role, signaling continuity in the company’s leadership and operations. Because the filing states there were no changes to Hawkins’ pay or new agreements, the appointment likely has limited immediate financial impact. Investors should note leadership stability and experience in operations, which can matter for execution and service delivery in a staffing-focused business.
