Proud To Be Employee Owned

Why are we an ESOP?

In 2025, under the leadership of CEO Jon Sirken, Hyper Networks Inc. transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a strategic investment in both our people and our future. This move wasn’t just a financial decision—it was a cultural one. It reflects our belief that the strength of our company lies in the dedication, expertise, and shared vision of our team.

By becoming employee-owned, we’ve made a long-term commitment to building a company where every eligible team member has the opportunity to become an owner—not just in title, but in the success we create together.

Built for Longevity, Driven by People

Employee ownership empowers us to grow with purpose. Through the ESOP, employees purchase shares in the company, which are held in their retirement accounts—creating a tangible investment in their future. This structure builds trust, reinforces accountability, and drives a sense of shared purpose across every level of the business.

Since becoming an ESOP, Hyper Networks Inc. has experienced smarter, more sustainable growth

fueled by the passion and ownership mentality of our team. Together, we’ve created a culture focused not only on performance but on people—working collaboratively to build something that lasts.

What is an Employee Stock

Ownership Plan?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is an employee-ownership program that provides a company’s workforce with an ownership interest in the company.

In some ways an ESOP is similar to a retirement plan due to it being governed by the same laws and regulations as a 401(k). Unlike the typical retirement plans,

According to the Employee Ownership Foundation*, ESOPs:

• Are required by regulation to primarily invest in their own shares of stock to benefit employees.

• Are trusts holding shares of the business, which allow employees to become beneficial owners of the company they work for.

• May create tax benefits for the exiting owner(s) and company.

• Have the ability to borrow from related parties when financing company projects.

“The value from the HB ESOP has allowed my wife and me a much greater level of comfort, freedom and financial security for our retirement. It has also allowed us to dream bigger and plan more adventures than we could have done without my ESOP. In a nutshell, it is allowing us to maintain the standard of living we enjoyed while I was still employed and that’s a real BIG deal for us.”

Andrew “Andy” Henry, Jr., Former CFO of HB McClure
