RECENT EVENTS – DEREGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-153893) (the “Registration Statement”) of MPS Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Registrant”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2008, pertaining to the registration of 7,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, to be offered pursuant to the MPS Group, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and MPS Group, Inc. 2008 Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan.

On January 19, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 19, 2009 by and among the Registrant, Adecco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adecco”), and Jaguar Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adecco, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger. As a result of the Merger, each share of the common stock of the Registrant (including each share of the Registrant’s restricted common stock) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger (other than shares of common stock owned by the Registrant, Merger Sub, or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries or held in the treasury of the Registrant) was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive in cash an amount per share equal to $13.80, without interest, less any required withholding taxes.

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the Registrant which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any common stock registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.

This Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective automatically upon the date of filing in accordance with Rules 456 and 464 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
