This Amendment No. 4 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 and April 1, 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 in Item 4

“On April 5, 2010, Manpower completed its acquisition of all the outstanding shares of COMSYS Common Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, on March 4, 2010, Manpower commenced the Exchange Offer to acquire all the outstanding Shares for, at the election of the holder: (i) $17.65 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), or (ii) a fraction of a share or shares of Manpower Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) equal to the exchange rate (the “Exchange Rate”) calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The Exchange Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York Time, on the evening of April 2, 2010. Based on a preliminary count by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, a total of 19,787,017 Shares, representing approximately 89% of COMSYS’s outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offer, of which 1,599,160 Shares, representing approximately 7% of COMSYS’s outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, were tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery. All Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer and applicable law.

Of the Shares tendered, elections for Cash Consideration were made with respect to 17,794,582 Shares and elections for Stock Consideration were made with respect to 1,992,435 Shares. Based on these preliminary results and the terms of the Merger Agreement, the preliminary proration of the Exchange Offer consideration is as follows:

•

each COMSYS Share for which an election for Stock Consideration or no election was made will be converted into the right to receive 0.304 of a share of Manpower Common Stock, and

•

each COMSYS Share for which an election for Cash Consideration was made will be converted into the right to receive $9.81 in cash without interest and 0.135 of a share of Manpower Common Stock.

These amounts are subject to change based on the final Exchange Offer results. Manpower will announce the final Exchange Offer results and the final proration of the Exchange Offer consideration as promptly as practicable.

Manpower exercised the option under the Merger Agreement to purchase from COMSYS, following the Exchange Offer, a number of newly issued additional Shares for the Cash Consideration per Share so that, together with the Shares accepted in the Exchange Offer (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery), it owned more than 90% of the outstanding Shares. Following the acquisition of the additional Shares, Manpower was able to complete the Merger through the “short form” procedures pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as stated below.

On April 5, 2010, pursuant to the “short-form” merger procedure available under the DGCL, Purchaser filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, whereupon the Merger became effective, with COMSYS continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Manpower. In the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, other than Shares owned by Manpower or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Manpower or COMSYS, was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof and subject to proration, either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration. COMSYS stockholders who do not make an election within 30 days after the letter of election and transmittal is mailed to them will be deemed to have elected the Stock Consideration. No further action was required by the remaining stockholders of COMSYS to effect the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the Shares ceased to be traded on the NASDAQ Global Market after the close of trading on April 5, 2010.

On April 5, 2010, Manpower issued a press release announcing the preliminary results and preliminary proration of the Exchange Offer and a press release announcing the completion of the Merger, which are attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(H) and Exhibit (a)(5)(I), respectively. The information in the press releases is incorporated herein by reference.”
