The board of OneClickHR announces that the Scheme Document which sets out,
amongst other things, the full terms and conditions of the Scheme and an

The distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than the UK may be
restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the UK should inform themselves about, and observe, any
applicable requirements. This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of
complying with English law and the Takeover Code and the information disclosed
may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement
had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside England.
Copies of this announcement are not being, and must not be, directly or
indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or
from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving this announcement
(including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise

If the acquisition of One ClickHR is implemented by way of an Offer (unless
otherwise determined by ADP Network Services and permitted by applicable law and
regulation), the Offer may not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into or by
the use of the mails of, or by any other means or instrumentality (including,
without limitation, electronic mail, facsimile transmission, telex, telephone,

Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code, if any person is, or
becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in one per cent. or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of OneClickHR, all "dealings" in any "relevant
securities" of that company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a
derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly
disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue
until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective or the Proposal lapses or
is otherwise withdrawn, or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or
more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether
formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of
OneClickHR, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule
8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Takeover Code, all "dealings" in
"relevant securities" of OneClickHR by the ADP Group, or by OneClickHR, or any
of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon
(London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant
transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website
at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Code, which can also be
found on the Takeover Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or
not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, please contact an
independent financial adviser authorised under FSMA, consult the Panel's website
at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel on telephone number + 44 (0)
20 7638 0129.
ADP Network Services reserves its rights, with consent of the Takeover Panel, to
implement its acquisition of OneClickHR by way of a takeover offer under the
Takeover Code.
