MILWAUKEE and PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) and Right Management Consultants, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) announced today their determination pursuant to their previously announced merger agreement that Manpower will exchange 0.3874 of a share of Manpower common stock for each share of common stock of Right, based on the expectation that Manpower will first accept shares of Right common stock for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the evening of January 21, 2004, the initial expiration date of the exchange offer.

On December 10, 2003, Manpower entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Right providing for a subsidiary of Manpower to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Right common stock by means of an exchange offer and subsequent merger. In the exchange offer, Manpower, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hoosier Acquisition Corp., is offering to exchange a fraction of a share of Manpower common stock for each share of Right common stock that is validly tendered and not withdrawn. Manpower refers to this fraction as the exchange rate.

The exchange rate announced today has been calculated by dividing $18.75 by $48.40, which is the average of the average daily high and low sale price per share of Manpower common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days ending on January 16, 2004.

Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, Manpower may extend the exchange offer if, at the scheduled expiration date of the exchange offer, any of the conditions to the exchange offer has not been satisfied or, where permissible, waived. If the exchange offer is extended, Manpower will recalculate the exchange rate based on the later expected date on which Manpower will first accept shares of Right common stock for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer and will announce the new exchange rate by issuing a press release.
