Item 5.01.		Changes in Control of Registrant.

		As previously disclosed, Ablest Inc.

		On June 8, 2007, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Delaware General Corporate Law, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) effective on such date and each outstanding share of common stock of the Company at such time was converted into the right to receive $11.00 in cash, without interest, (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). At the effective time of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. A copy of the press release issued by the Company on June 8, 2007, announcing the completion of the Merger is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
