Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Introduction
On June 3, 2024, Kelly Services, Inc. ("Kelly" or “Buyer” or “Client” or the "Company"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) to announce the completion of the acquisition of Motion Recruitment Partners, LLC ("MRP") by way of a merger with MRP Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into MRP Topco ("Topco"), the indirect parent company of MRP and Littlejohn Fund V, L.P. (the “Seller” or "Littlejohn"), with Topco surviving the merger (the "Merger").
Under terms of the merger agreement, the $425.0 million purchase price was adjusted for estimated cash held by MRP at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments, resulting in the Company paying cash of $440.0 million. Total consideration includes $3.4 million of contingent consideration related to an earnout payment with a maximum potential cash payment of $60.0 million in the event certain financial metrics are met per the terms of the agreement. The earnout payment is based on a multiple of gross profit in excess of an agreed-upon amount during the earnout period, defined as the 12 months ending March 31, 2025, and any necessary payment is due to the Seller in the second quarter of 2025. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
Kelly and MRP are providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (“Pro Forma Financial Statements”) to aid in the analysis of the financial aspects of the business combination described below. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on Kelly’s and MRP’s historical financial information as adjusted to give effect to the business combination described above and the related financing as if the transactions had been completed on March 31, 2024, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as of January 2, 2023, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with i) Kelly’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, filed on May 9, 2024, ii) Kelly’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed on February 20, 2024, iii) the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of MRP as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included elsewhere within this amended Form 8-K, and iv) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of MRP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included elsewhere within this amended Form 8-K.
The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11 and reflect preliminary estimates of the transaction accounting adjustments to the business combination referred to above and do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future revenue growth or operational synergies expected to result from the business combination. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent Kelly’s combined statement of earnings or combined balance sheet that would actually have occurred had the transactions referred to above been consummated on the dates assumed, or to project Kelly’s combined statement of earnings or combined balance sheet for any future date or period. Unless otherwise noted, the Pro Forma Financial Statements and adjustments are presented in millions.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
1. Description of the Transaction
On May 31, 2024, Kelly completed its acquisition of Motion Recruitment Partners, LLC ("MRP") by way of a merger with MRP Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into MRP Topco ("Topco"), the indirect parent company of MRP and Littlejohn Fund V, L.P. ("Littlejohn"), with Topco surviving the merger (the "Merger").
Under terms of the merger agreement, the $425.0 million purchase price was adjusted for estimated cash held by MRP at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments, resulting in the Company paying cash of $440.0 million. Total consideration includes $3.4 million of contingent consideration related to an earnout payment with a maximum potential cash payment of $60.0 million in the event certain financial metrics are met per the terms of the agreement. The earnout payment is based on a multiple of gross profit in excess of an agreed-upon amount during the earnout period, defined as the 12 months ending March 31, 2025, and any necessary payment is due to the Seller in the second quarter of 2025. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on Kelly’s and MRP’s historical financial information as adjusted to give effect to the business combination described above as if the transactions had been completed on March 31, 2024 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as of January 2, 2023 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 combines i) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Kelly as of March 31, 2024, and ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of MRP as of March 31, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 combines i) the audited consolidated statements of earnings and audited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of Kelly for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and ii) the audited consolidated statements of income (loss) and the audited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of MRP for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 combines i) the unaudited consolidated statements of earnings and unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of Kelly for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and ii) the unaudited consolidated statements of income (loss) and the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of MRP for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in Note 4 Reclassification of MRP’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Note 5 Adjustments to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information of this Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11 and reflect preliminary estimates of the transaction accounting adjustments to the business combination referred to above and do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future revenue growth or operational synergies expected to result from the business combination.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Statements are those described in Kelly’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,2023 and subsequent unaudited interim periods. The Company has performed a preliminary review of MRP’s accounting policies to determine whether any adjustments were necessary to ensure comparability in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Currently, the Company is not aware of any other material differences between the accounting policies of the Company and MRP that would continue to exist subsequent to the application of acquisition accounting.
Reclassification adjustments have been made to the historical presentation of MRP to conform to the financial statement presentation of Kelly for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as noted below. Refer to Note 4 –

Reclassification of MRP’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for further details on the reclassification adjustments.
Accounting for the MRP Acquisition
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the MRP acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) with Kelly as the acquiring entity. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Kelly’s assets and liabilities will retain their carrying values, and the assets and liabilities of MRP’s will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recorded as goodwill. Further, the earnout provision is classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 and will be recorded at fair value as of the date of the consummation of the merger and reassessed on an ongoing basis.
Accounting for the Debt Financing Transaction
On May 29, 2024, the Company undertook significant amendments to its financial agreements and facilities. An existing $200.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility was modified, resulting in a reduced borrowing capacity of $150.0 million, with provisions allowing an increase up to $300.0 million. Additionally, adjustments were made to various terms and conditions, extending the maturity date to May 29, 2029. Concurrently, the Company enhanced its security by entering into an Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, pledging certain assets against this credit facility.
Moreover, on the same day, the Company and Kelly Receivables Funding, LLC, a fully owned subsidiary, revised their Receivables Purchase Agreement concerning a $150.0 million securitization facility. This amendment increased the borrowing capacity to $250.0 million, offering the possibility of a further increase to $350.0 million, alongside adjustments to several terms, setting a new maturity date of May 28, 2027.
Following these amendments, on May 30, 2024, aligned with the acquisition of MRP, the Company leveraged $203.0 million from the securitization facility and $87.0 million from the revolving credit facility. By May 31, 2024, the Company had $263.0 million outstanding under these facilities. Following these draw downs, the remaining available capacity, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was $0.9 million for the securitization facility and $87.0 million for the revolving credit facility. For purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements, the interest rate of the credit facilities is 6.73% per annum, which is comprised of the Adjusted Term SOFR, as of May 29, 2024, plus an applicable spread each as defined in the Company’s credit facilities. Interest has been accrued in the Pro Forma Financial Statements over the respective periods.

3. Preliminary Fair Value Estimate of Purchase Price Allocation to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
For the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements, the aggregate cash consideration consisted of $425.0 million per the terms of the merger agreement, subject to (i) estimated closing cash of $13.6 million, (ii) working capital adjustments and other considerations of $1.4 million, and (iii) an earnout provision based upon MRP’s gross profit for the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2025 with an estimated fair value $3.4 million. The earnout payment is based on a multiple of gross profit in excess of an agreed-upon amount during the earnout period and any necessary payment is due to the Seller in the second quarter of 2025. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the maximum potential cash payment for the earnout is $60.0 million.
The following table summarizes the total consideration for the acquisition for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024 (in millions):

Cash consideration paid | $ | 425.0 |
Estimated cash acquired | 13.6 |
Estimated net working capital adjustment | 1.4 |
Total cash consideration | 440.0 |
Additional consideration payable | 3.4 |
Total consideration | $ | 443.4 |

The following table summarizes the allocation of total consideration of the acquisition to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the condensed consolidated balance sheet of MRP as of March 31, 2024 (in millions):

Assets acquired: |
Cash and equivalents | $ | 7.9 |
Trade accounts receivable, less allowances | 90.9 |

A final determination of the fair value of MRP’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed within one year of the closing date of the acquisition. The final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different from that presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information herein. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expanding market potential and the

expected revenue and operational synergies. The intangibles included in the assets purchased is made up of $88.1 million in customer relationships, $56.5 million associated with MRP’s trade names, and $1.3 million for non-compete agreements. The trade names will be amortized over 10-15 years with no residual value, customer relationships will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over four years with no residual value. The property and equipment acquired consisted of furniture and fixtures, computers, and leasehold improvements. The fair values of the property and equipment were determined based on guidance pursuant to ASC 805 – Business Combinations and ASC 810 – Consolidation and the carrying amounts approximate the fair values of these assets.
