This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed on March 4, 2010 and amended on March 17, 2010, March 30, 2010, April 1, 2010 and April 6, 2010 by Manpower Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Manpower”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Taurus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), relating to the commencement of an offer to exchange outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“COMSYS Common Stock”), of COMSYS IT Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“COMSYS”), for $17.65 in cash or $17.65 in fair market value of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Manpower (“Manpower Common Stock”), where fair market value is the average trading price of Manpower Common Stock as described in the Prospectus referenced below (the “Exchange Offer”).
The Exchange Offer is made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2010, by and among Manpower, Purchaser and COMSYS, which contemplates the Exchange Offer and the merger of Purchaser into COMSYS (the “Merger”, and, together with the Exchange Offer, the “Transaction”). Manpower has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-4, dated March 4, 2010 and amended on March 17, 2010, relating to the shares of Manpower Common Stock that may be issued to stockholders of COMSYS in the Exchange Offer and the Merger (the “Registration Statement”). The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and the Merger (as may from time to time be amended, supplemented or finalized) are described in the Prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), and the related Letter of Election and Transmittal, which are Exhibits (a)(4) and (a)(4)(B) and (a)(1)(A), respectively, hereto.
As permitted by General Instruction F to Schedule TO, all of the information in the Prospectus and the related Letter of Election and Transmittal, and any prospectus supplement or other amendment thereto related to the Exchange Offer hereafter filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Manpower and Purchaser, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 11 of this Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided for in this Schedule TO. The Agreement and Plan of Merger, among COMSYS, Manpower and Purchaser dated as of February 1, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (d)(1) to this Schedule TO, is incorporated in this Schedule TO by reference.

| ITEM 1. | SUMMARY TERM SHEET |
Item 1 of this Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth below in Item 4.
| ITEM 4. | TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION |
Item 4 of this Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth below:
“On April 9, 2010, Manpower announced the final results of the elections of COMSYS stockholders whose shares of COMSYS Common Stock were validly tendered and acquired for payment in the Exchange Offer.
A total of 19,241,382 shares of COMSYS Common Stock, representing approximately 87% of the outstanding shares of COMSYS Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, were validly tendered and acquired in the Exchange Offer. Of these shares, approximately 90% were tendered for Cash Consideration and approximately 10% were tendered for Manpower Common Stock Consideration, and therefore the cash election was oversubscribed. As a result, COMSYS stockholders who elected Stock Consideration will receive .304 of a share of Manpower Common Stock per COMSYS share and COMSYS stockholders who elected Cash Consideration will receive, on a per COMSYS share basis, approximately $9.76 in cash without interest and approximately .136 of a share of Manpower Common Stock. COMSYS stockholders will receive cash for any fractional share otherwise issuable to them after aggregating all fractional shares that they would otherwise receive.
Manpower also announced that the amount of Manpower Common Stock to be issued in its acquisition of COMSYS pursuant to the Exchange Offer and Merger was sufficient to satisfy the continuity of interest test under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The continuity of interest test is generally viewed as satisfied if the total value of shares of Manpower Common Stock issued to COMSYS stockholders in exchange for their shares of COMSYS Common Stock constitutes as least forty percent of the aggregate consideration transferred in the transaction. Because the continuity of interest was satisfied, on April 6, 2010, Manpower completed the merger of COMSYS with a wholly owned subsidiary of Manpower (the “Second Merger”) as required under the Merger Agreement. As a result of this Second Merger, Manpower believes the acquisition of COMSYS through the Exchange Offer and the Merger should qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
On April 9, 2010, Manpower also issued a press release announcing the final results and final proration of the Exchange Offer and the completion of the Second Merger, which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(J). The information in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.”
| ITEM 11. | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
Item 11(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth in Item 4.
| ITEM 12. | EXHIBITS. |
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

Manpower Inc. Announces Final Results of its Exchange Offer for COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. and
Completion of Second Merger
MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, April 9, 2010—Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) announced today the final results of the elections of stockholders of COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. whose shares were validly tendered and acquired for payment in Manpower’s previously announced exchange offer for COMSYS stock that closed on April 2, 2010.
A total of 19,241,382 COMSYS shares, representing approximately 87% of COMSYS’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis, were validly tendered and acquired in the exchange offer. Of these shares, approximately 90% were tendered for cash consideration and approximately 10% were tendered for Manpower common stock consideration, and therefore the cash election was oversubscribed. As a result, COMSYS stockholders who elected stock consideration will receive .304 of a share of Manpower common stock per COMSYS share and COMSYS stockholders who elected cash consideration will receive, on a per COMSYS share basis, approximately $9.76 in cash without interest and approximately .136 of a share of Manpower common stock. COMSYS stockholders will receive cash for any fractional share otherwise issuable to them after aggregating all fractional shares that they would otherwise receive.
Manpower also announced today that the amount of Manpower stock to be issued in its acquisition of COMSYS pursuant to the previously announced exchange offer and merger of a wholly owned Manpower subsidiary into COMSYS was sufficient to satisfy the continuity of interest test under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The continuity of interest test is generally viewed as satisfied if the total value of Manpower shares issued to COMSYS stockholders in exchange for their shares of COMSYS stock constitutes as least forty percent of the aggregate consideration transferred in the transaction. Because the continuity of interest was satisfied, on April 6, 2010, Manpower completed the merger of COMSYS with a wholly owned subsidiary of Manpower as required under the merger agreement with COMSYS. As a result of this second merger, Manpower believes the acquisition of COMSYS through the exchange offer and the first merger should qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
