This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Command Center, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3609 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Suite 250, Lakewood, Colorado 80235.

This statement is being jointly filed by Hire Quest Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Hire Quest”), Richard Hermanns, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hire Quest, and John McAnnar, the Vice President of Administration and General Counsel of Hire Quest (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). Hire Quest provides back-office support to temporary staffing companies. The business address of the Reporting Persons is 111 Springhall Drive, Goose Creek, South Carolina 29445.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Hire Quest is a Florida limited liability company. Messrs. Hermanns and McAnnar are United States citizens.

Hire Quest entered into Voting Agreements (as defined below) with certain shareholders of the Issuer, as described in more detail below, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons received irrevocable proxies from such shareholders. None of the Reporting Persons has paid any consideration in connection with the Voting Agreements or the related irrevocable proxies.

On April 8, 2019, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Hire Quest, CCNI One, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Command Florida, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”) and Richard Hermanns. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into Hire Quest (the “First Merger”), with Hire Quest being the surviving entity (the “First Surviving Company”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, the First Surviving Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”). The Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which include approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, at the specific request of Hire Quest, and as a condition and inducement to Hire Quest’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders of the Issuer (the “Signing Shareholders”) entered into voting agreements with Hire Quest, each effective as of April 8, 2019 (the “Voting Agreements”) with respect to all Shares over which each such Signing Shareholder exercises voting or investment power (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (collectively, the “Owned Shares”). The Owned Shares include any shares of the Issuer as to which a Signing Shareholder acquires beneficial ownership after the execution of its Voting Agreement.

Each Voting Agreement requires the Signing Shareholder, so long as such Voting Agreement has not terminated in accordance with its terms, to vote (i) in favor of approval of the increase in the number of Issuer’s authorized shares of common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (ii) in favor of approval of the conversion of the Issuer from a Washington corporation to a Delaware corporation as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (iii) in favor of approval of the issuance of Shares as consideration for the Merger and in favor of the related change of control transaction for purposes of Nasdaq listing rules as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (iv) in favor of approval of the change in name of Issuer to “HireQuest, Inc.” as set forth in the Merger Agreement; and (v) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, any of the above proposals. Each of the Signing Shareholders appointed Richard Hermanns and John McAnnar of Hire Quest, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as such Signing Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote and act on each such Signing Shareholder’s behalf and in each such Signing Shareholder’s name, place and stead with respect to the foregoing. Each Signing Shareholder affirmed that the proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable during the term of its Voting Agreement.

Each Signing Shareholder also agreed that he or it will not transfer any of the Owned Shares during the term of its Voting Agreement.

The Voting Agreements will terminate upon, among other things, the termination of the Merger Agreement, or the entry by the Issuer into a Material Adverse Amendment (as defined in the Voting Agreements) with respect to the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete. References to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the form of Voting Agreement, which are incorporated by reference as specified below.

(a)     As of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons owns any Shares. However, pursuant to the Voting Agreements and the related irrevocable proxies, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share with each Signing Shareholder the power to vote such Signing Shareholder’s Shares in favor of approval of the transactions described in Item 4 and, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, 1,095,901 Shares, representing 23.67% of the outstanding Shares. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares covered by the Voting Agreements and nothing herein shall be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such Shares. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person that it is a member of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and membership in a “group” is hereby expressly disclaimed.

(b)     Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote or to direct the voting of 1,095,901 Shares pursuant to the Voting Agreements as described in Item 4.

(c)     Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transaction in Shares during the past 60 days.

(d)     To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Signing Shareholders has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares covered by this Schedule 13D.

(e)     Not applicable.

If the Merger is completed, the Issuer is obligated to appoint four directors selected by Hire Quest to the Company’s Board of Directors, which will include Richard Hermanns, and three of the Issuer’s current directors will remain on the Board of Directors following the closing of the Merger (the “Company Directors”). The Merger Agreement provides that, of the Company Directors, one will remain on the Board until the 2022 annual shareholder meeting, the second will remain on the Board until the 2021 annual shareholder meeting, and the third will remain on the Board until the 2020 annual shareholder meeting. The other information required to be disclosed in this Item is incorporated by reference to Items 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D.
