Rather, the reporting person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein pursuant to a voting agreement (as described in the Introduction and in Items 3 and 4 of this Statement), entered into in connection with the proposed acquisition by the reporting person of all of the outstanding shares of The Vincam Group, Inc. Any such beneficial ownership is expressly denied by the reporting person. Page 2 of 12 INTRODUCTION No shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of The Vincam Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Issuer"), have been purchased, directly or indirectly, by the reporting person. Automatic Data Processing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ADP"), is making this filing solely because it may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein pursuant to the Voting Agreement (as defined below). On December 3, 1998, the Issuer, ADP and ADP Acquisition Corp. (Florida), a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ADP ("Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Merger Agreement"), which is incorporated herein by reference. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), and in connection therewith each outstanding share of Common Stock will be exchanged for .229 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share (the "ADP Common Stock"), of ADP, provided that the average price of ADP Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending three business days prior to the shareholders meeting to be held to approve the Merger Agreement is between $68.781 and $84.065. For average prices of ADP Common Stock of between $61.138 and $68.781, the exchange ratio adjusts to keep the value constant at $15.25 per share of Common Stock. Similarly, between $84.065 and $91.708, the exchange ratio adjusts to keep the value constant at $19.25 per share of Common Stock. Above $91.708, the exchange ratio remains fixed at .2099 shares of ADP Common Stock for each share of Common Stock. Should the average price of ADP Common Stock fall below $61.138, the Issuer has the option to accept an exchange ratio of .2576 shares of ADP Common Stock for each share of Common Stock or it may request that ADP issue additional shares of ADP Common Stock to keep the value constant at $15.75. If ADP does not issue additional shares, the Issuer can terminate the agreement. The exchange ratios described above are subject to certain additional adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement. Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. In connection therewith, ADP and certain shareholders of the Issuer (each a "Shareholder" and, collectively, the "Shareholders") have entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of December 3, 1998, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the "Voting Agreement"), which is incorporated herein by reference, whereby each Shareholder has agreed that, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer, however called, and in any action by consent of the shareholders of the Issuer, such Shareholder will vote (or cause to be voted) the shares of Common Stock held of record (to the extent such person also has the right to vote such shares) or beneficially owned (to the extent such person also has the right to vote such shares) by such Shareholder in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement (as amended from time to time) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each Shareholder further agreed that, (i) such Shareholder will not, or permit any person under such Shareholder's control to, enter into any voting agreement or grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to the shares of Common Stock held of record or beneficially owned by such Shareholder or form any "group" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules promulgated thereunder, in each such case, which is inconsistent with the Voting Agreement, and (ii) except as set forth in the Merger Agreement, such Shareholder will not (x) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance) or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiry or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or agree to or endorse any Transaction Proposal or (y) propose, enter into or participate in any discussions or Page 3 of 12 negotiations regarding any of the foregoing, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to its business, properties or assets or any of the foregoing, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Each Shareholder further agreed that, except as set forth in the Voting Agreement, such Shareholder will not (i) tender any shares of Common Stock, (ii) sell, assign or transfer record or beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock, or (iii) further pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock. The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, if a Shareholder acquires the right to vote any additional shares of Common Stock, the Voting Agreement shall be applicable to such additional shares. ADP has agreed, prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Shareholders and, as contemplated thereby, to (i) file promptly after the registration statement relating to the shares of ADP Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger is declared effective and (ii) use its reasonable commercial efforts to have declared effective by the SEC on or prior to effective time of the Merger a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the shares of ADP Common Stock to be received by the Shareholders in the Merger in exchange for their shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and use its reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earlier of (x) the date all such shares are disposed of and (y) one year from the date of effectiveness. The description of the transactions summarized above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Exhibits attached hereto. ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
