</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%"><U>Merger Agreement</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">On April&nbsp;4, 2007, Ablest Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) with Koosharem Corporation, a
California corporation (&#147;Parent&#148;), and Select Acquisition,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Parent (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;). Parent is the holding company
of Select Remedy. Select Remedy is the product of the
recently completed acquisition of RemedyTemp, Inc. by
Parent. Select Remedy, with approximately 280 offices
throughout North America, is a professional staffing
organization focused on delivering human capital workforce
solutions in various business sectors.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub
will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as
the surviving corporation of the merger (the &#147;Merger&#148;). In
the Merger, each share of common stock (including shares
of restricted stock) of the Company, other than those held
by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their
respective subsidiaries, and other than those shares with
respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised,
will be converted into the right to receive $11.00 per
share in cash (the &#147;Merger Consideration&#148;). In addition,
all outstanding options to acquire shares of Company
common stock will vest at the effective time of the Merger
and holders of such options will receive an amount in cash
equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration
over the exercise price per share subject to the option
for each share subject to the option.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">The Board of Directors of the Company, upon the unanimous
recommendation of a special committee consisting of all of
the independent members of the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors (the &#147;Special Committee&#148;), has unanimously
approved the Merger Agreement and determined that the
Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable and both
fair to and in the best interest of the Company&#146;s
shareholders. Raymond James &#038; Associates, Inc. rendered a
fairness opinion to the Special Committee as to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, of the
consideration to be received by the Company&#146;s shareholders
in the Merger.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub,
on the other hand, have made customary representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements in the Merger
Agreement.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing
conditions, including approval by the Company&#146;s
shareholders. Pursuant, and subject to, the terms of the
Voting Agreement (as hereinafter defined) entered into
with Parent and Merger Sub, members of the Heist family
(including Charles H. Heist, III, the Company&#146;s Chairman
of the Board) have agreed to vote the approximately 50.4%
of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock beneficially
owned thereby in favor of the Merger. The transaction is
not subject to a financing condition.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">The Merger Agreement contains certain non-solicitation
provisions but permits the Company to encourage and
solicit proposals for a competing transaction for a period
of 15&nbsp;days from April&nbsp;4, 2007. Hyde Park Capital
Advisors, LLC, the financial adviser to the Special
Committee, will be assisting the Special Committee with
respect to the solicitation of proposals for a competing
transaction. The Company may, in certain circumstances,
terminate the Merger Agreement if its board of directors
(or a committee thereof) determines in good faith that it
has received an unsolicited (except as otherwise permitted
pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement) &#147;superior
proposal,&#148; as defined in the Merger Agreement. In
connection with such termination, the Company must pay a
fee of $1.0&nbsp;million to Parent. Either the Company or
Parent may also terminate the Merger Agreement in certain
other specified circumstances.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 9%">The Merger Agreement provides that the closing of the
transaction will be on the first business day after the
satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions precedent
thereto, or at such other time as the parties may agree in

stock have entered into a voting agreement with Parent and
Merger Sub (the &#147;Voting Agreement&#148;) pursuant to which

Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or
certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock (the &#147;<U>Certificates</U>&#148;) or of non-certificated shares represented by book

of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall have

surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates and
Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent
may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. In
the event of a transfer of ownership of such Company Common Stock which is not registered in the
transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose
name the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate or
Book-Entry Shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the
Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the
payment to a Person other than the registered holder thereof or establish to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

Share (other than a Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing shares of Company Common Stock
cancelled in accordance with <U>Section&nbsp;1.6(c)</U> and other than Dissenting Shares) shall be

surrender the

theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant

of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, subject,

Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates contributes, nor within the six-year period
ending on the date hereof has any of them contributed or been obligated to contribute, to any plan,
program or agreement which is a &#147;multiemployer plan&#148; (as defined in Section&nbsp;3(37) of ERISA) or

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On March&nbsp;5, 2007, David Ryman, an alleged stockholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the
Company, certain Company directors and officers, and other parties, on behalf of a putative class
of the Company&#146;s &#147;public stockholders.&#148; The litigation is pending in the Circuit Court of the 13th
Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. On March&nbsp;26, 2007, the Company was
served with the Summons and Complaint. The litigation relates to the Company&#146;s January&nbsp;23, 2007
announcement that: (i)&nbsp;certain existing investors, including Charles H. Heist, III, the Company&#146;s
Chairman of the Board, Kurt R. Moore, the Company&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, and two
partnerships that own Company shares, had presented the Company with a proposal to acquire all of
the Company&#146;s publicly held common stock; and (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s Board of Directors had formed a
Special Committee of four independent directors to review and evaluate the proposal, and as well as
other strategic alternatives for the Company. In his Complaint, the plaintiff seeks: (i)&nbsp;an order
enjoining the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction;
(ii)&nbsp;in the event that the transaction is closed, an order rescinding the transaction or awarding
damages; and (iii)&nbsp;an award of attorney&#146;s fees, expert&#146;s fees and costs.
