TMP Worldwide Extends Employment Agreement

With Founder, Chairman and CEO Andrew J. McKelvey Through 2005

 

New York, June 3, 2002 - TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPW), the world’s leading supplier of human capital solutions, including the pre-eminent Internet career portal MonsterÒ, today announced that its Board of Directors and Chairman and CEO Andrew J. McKelvey agreed to extend Mr. McKelvey’s employment agreement through May 15, 2005.

Under the terms of the agreement, at Mr. McKelvey’s request, his base salary has been reduced from $500,000 to $200,000 per year.  To partially offset the lower annual cash compensation and to provide Mr. McKelvey with a degree of liquidity, the Board of Directors also granted permission to Mr. McKelvey to enter into hedging transactions involving up to an aggregate 2.5 million shares of his personal holdings of TMP common stock.  Each hedging transaction, if executed, is currently anticipated to involve a three-year contract with a fixed collar established on the date the hedge is entered into, currently estimated to be set at a floor of 75% and a ceiling of 200% of the common stock price on the date of the hedge, although the terms may ultimately differ. The hedging transactions will permit cash settlement.

Mr. McKelvey is TMP Worldwide’s largest stockholder and owns more than 20 million shares or approximately 18% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock.  Mr. McKelvey may access proceeds from the hedging transactions at any time up to the maturity date, and these proceeds will be used to reduce any debts Mr. McKelvey may have at that time. These hedging transactions are also separate from any personal common stock sales that Mr. McKelvey may make from time-to-time under his previously announced Rule 10b5-1 plan.

TMP is not a party to the hedging transactions.

“As the strongest believer in TMP Worldwide and as its largest shareholder, I have long expressed a desire to be compensated with a lower base salary in light of my  great personal stake in the success of the Company through stock ownership,” explained Mr. McKelvey.  “I want to assure our shareholders that my new contract underscores my continued and unwavering commitment to the future growth, prosperity and profitability of TMP Worldwide.”
