On September 11, 1998, Kelly Services Inc. ("KSI"), through its wholly
owned subsidiaries Kelly Services Deutschland GmbH and Kelly Services

KSI delivered 31,488 shares of its Class A Common Stock from Treasury as
part of the consideration for the quotas. Subject to satisfaction of the
conditions in the agreement and adjustment based on the future price of KSI
Class A Common Stock and currency exchange rates, KSI will deliver up to
approximately 23,600 additional shares over the next three years. The shares
of KSI stock were and will be delivered pursuant to an agreement among KSI,
its subsidiaries and the holders of the quotas of the Workshop group of
companies and Regulation S. The owners of the Workshop group of companies
represented that they were not U.S. persons, the sale and issuance occurred in

pursuant to the agreement, and the transaction was otherwise in compliance with
Regulation S. There were no underwriters or other distributors.
