White & Case, LLP

White & Case Advises Adecco in €636M Acquisition of Rival
Buoyant German Economy Leads to Rise in Demand for Temporary Workers

Hamburg, January 27, 2006 ... White & Case LLP advised Adecco, the world’s largest provider of human resources services, on its acquisition of rival German recruitment consultancy, Deutsche Industrie Service (“DIS”), for €636 million. The deal is expected to close in March 2006, subject to regulatory approval.

The Firm also advised Jacobs Holding AG, Adecco’s major shareholder, recently in its €1 billion acquisition of the company from co-founder Philippe Foriel-Destezet, in December 2005. Dr. Christian Jacobs, lead White & Case partner on both transactions, said, “Economic recovery and labour market reform in Germany have led to greater demand for temporary workers. DIS has been extremely successful in these conditions, more than tripling its stock over the last two years alone. Adecco’s purchase confirms its commitment to the German market, where it is now one of the leading players.”


In its largest purchase since a $1.6 billion (approx. €1.3 billion) takeover of Olsten in 2000, Switzerland-based Adecco agreed to pay DIS’s majority shareholder, the Paulmann family, €54.50 a share in cash for its entire 29 per cent stake. Adecco has also announced its intention to launch a voluntary public tender offer for the remaining shares at the same price. It plans to finance the acquisition through debt, with company reports indicating the sale of bonds within the next 18 months.


Advice pertaining to contractual (corporate/M&A), takeover, financing, SEC and competition law advice was provided by White & Case. Advising on the deal alongside Dr. Christian Jacobs in the Firm’s Hamburg office were partners Prof. Dr. Eberhard Meincke, Dr. Bjarne Petersen and Dr. Volker Land. Advising on the deal in the Firm’s New York office were partners Gregory Pryor and John Reiss. In Paris was partner Vincent Morin and in London, partner Francis Fitzherbert-Brockholes.

Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, L.L.P.

SQUIRE SANDERS PUBLIC FINANCE PRACTICE NOTED IN NATIONAL RANKINGS
Cleveland, OH (Jan. 27, 2006) – Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. has improved upon
its longtime standing as a leader in municipal bond rankings maintained by The Bond Buyer.
Squire Sanders maintained its top-five national rankings for both bond and underwriters’
counsel in Bond Buyer rankings issued Jan. 17. The firm increased its market share in three
of five financing categories.
Firm rankings are calculated by SourceMedia/Thomson Financial, publisher of The Bond
Buyer and The Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace (the Red Book), which has tracked
municipal finance issues since the 1940s. Squire Sanders has been listed in the Red Book
since it was first published.
For 2005, Squire Sanders was fourth in the overall national rankings for bond counsel and
fifth for underwriters’ counsel. Squire Sanders ranked third as bond counsel for
competitively sold issues, up from 16th place in 2004. The firm also moved up from fifth
place in 2004 as bond counsel for negotiated deals to rank fourth in 2005.
“2005 was an exceptionally productive year for the firm’s public finance practice, not only in
terms of the number and size of transactions our clients called on us to handle, but also in
terms of their increasing complexity,” said David S. Goodman, who oversees the practice
with Bruce Gabriel. “State and local governments are making use of an ever-growing array
of more sophisticated financing techniques.”
“Our finance clients, including issuers, underwriters and conduit borrowers such as hospital
systems, colleges and universities, took advantage of both 2005 market conditions and our
firm’s expertise to structure complex, economically efficient deals last year,” Gabriel added.
Founded in 1890, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. is one of the largest international law
firms, with offices in the Americas in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Houston, Los
