ON FEBRUARY 2, 2010, COMSYS IT PARTNERS, INC. DISTRIBUTED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO ITS EMPLOYEES:

This morning we announced that COMSYS and Manpower signed an agreement in which Manpower would acquire COMSYS for stock and cash.  I am very excited about the opportunities that the combination of the two companies will create for our customers and employees. 

Our Board of Directors and management have long felt that we are in an industry that must consolidate to remain prosperous, and many of you know that we have reviewed a number of transactions over the last several years.  After getting to know the Manpower organization in discussions that now stretch back over the last two years and assessing the value that we will contribute to their global strategy for expansion, our Board chose to partner with Manpower for several key reasons:

First, the combination of Manpower’s Professional Business with ours creates an organization with over $1 billion in revenue and 10,000 consultants.  Additionally, well over $2 billion in managed spend for the vendor management managed services provider (MSP) and related business currently under TAPFIN are created in this transaction.  This is tremendous scale and will serve our business well in the future.  This combination will also create a business that has both the depth and breadth of offerings and market reach to be the premier supplier in its markets.

Second, we felt this particular combination would create more opportunities for all COMSYS and TAPFIN employees and customers than most others.  The strategic fit of the two businesses is very good.

Third, I am extremely proud to tell you that Mike Barker will lead the combined Professional Services organization after closing.  Mike will also oversee the integration planning and execution.  Having worked with Mike for nearly ten years, I can tell you that there is no finer choice for this position.

The TAPFIN organization will be combined with the Manpower Business Solutions group. This group has both MSP and RPO services.  Kip Wright will be remaining with the organization and, in the near term, will be supporting the integration and planning of TAPFIN with their similar offering.

 I believe that the combined businesses will enjoy a great competitive advantage in the marketplace and will create challenging opportunities for their employees.  Change creates opportunity, and I am truly excited about the future of this business.

I also know that this change creates concern, and we are endeavoring to communicate how this will unfold as quickly and with as much specificity as possible.  It is extremely critical that throughout this process we keep our focus on our business to take advantage of the tremendous momentum we currently have.  It is anticipated that closing will likely be 8 to 12 weeks from today, and we will continue to operate as a stand-alone business until then.

As is quite common in these situations, I and a few other members of the executive staff will be leaving the company following the completion of the transaction. I know they join me in thanking each of you for your cooperation and strong efforts – it has been a pleasure working with such dedicated and professional individuals over the last several years. You have made COMSYS the great company it is, and you will make the combined business even stronger in the future.

Stay focused and keep selling!
