Item 1.01.   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 24, 2009 Kelly Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment of its $150 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit agreement dated as of November 30, 2005. The Company also entered into corresponding amendments to its 5.5 billion yen term loan agreement dated as of November 7, 2007, and 9.0 million euro and 5.0 million UK pound syndicated term loan facility agreement dated as of October 3, 2008.

While the Company complied with its financial covenants under the three credit agreements as of December 31, 2008, the Company sought and received the amendments due to deteriorating business conditions during the first quarter of 2009. The worsening conditions caused the Company to believe it could be in violation of the interest coverage ratio covenants contained in its credit agreements as early as the end of the first quarter of 2009 without modification of the covenants. The interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA “) to interest expense.

The amendments modified the financial covenants contained in the Company’s credit agreements in the following manner:

    Certain one-time cash charges for litigation and restructuring expenses are now excluded from all calculations including EBITDA.

    The interest coverage ratio for the first quarter of 2009 must be at least 5.0 to 1.0.

    The interest coverage ratio covenant for the second and third quarters of 2009 was replaced with a minimum EBITDA test.

    The minimum permitted interest coverage ratio was changed and may not be less than the following: as of fourth quarter 2009, 3.5 to 1.0; as of the first and second quarters of 2010, 4.0 to 1.0; and thereafter, 5.0 to 1.0.

The amendments also modified certain other terms of the three credit agreements.

    Certain payments, including dividends and stock repurchases, are restricted until December 31, 2009.

    The Company’s interest expense will increase through arrangement fees, up-front fees, higher facility fees, and increased spreads on drawn debt.

    The maturity date of the 5.5 billion yen term loan was changed from November 13, 2012 to October 3, 2011. In addition, the facility now amortizes with 12.5 percent of the original principal balance of loan facility to be repaid in November 2009, May 2010, November 2010, and May 2011. The remaining 50 percent of the original principal balance is due on the new maturity date of October 3, 2011.

A copy of the amendment to the $150 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility is attached as exhibit 10.13 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
(KELLY SERVICES LOGO)
KELLY SERVICES REPORTS 1st QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
TROY, MI (April 28, 2009) — Kelly Services, Inc., a world leader in human resources solutions, today announced results for the first quarter of 2009.
Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $1.0 billion, a 25% decrease compared to the corresponding quarter in 2008. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased by 19%.
Losses from operations for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $30.6 million, compared to earnings from operations of $12.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2008. Included in the results from operations for the first quarter 2009 are $5.4 million of restructuring costs relating to the Company’s UK operations. The UK restructuring charge is part of a plan to further consolidate and close branches in the UK during 2009.
Diluted losses per share from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2009 were $0.46, compared to first quarter 2008 earnings of $0.23 per share. The UK restructuring charge totaled $0.15 per share in 2009.
Commenting on the first quarter results, Camden called the Company’s loss disappointing, but not unexpected given the condition of the global labor market and widespread economic slowdown.
“In spite of the challenges we’re facing, we’ve made significant progress in reducing operating costs by 13%, while pursuing our strategic plan aimed at building long-term value for our stakeholders.
“Our ability to remain focused on diversifying globally, expanding our professional and technical staffing, and growing our outsourcing and consulting services, in this bad economy, is critical to our future success,” said Camden.
In conjunction with its first quarter earnings release, Kelly Services, Inc. will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on April 28, 2009 to review the results and answer questions. The call may be accessed in one of the following ways:

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the U.K. restructuring charge is useful to understand the Company’s fiscal 2009 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
     
(1)   The U.K. restructuring charge is comprised of facility and other exit costs associated with the disposal or closure of 37 branch locations related to the restructuring program.
