This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of TeamStaff, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 300 Atrium Drive, Somerset, New Jersey 08873.
This Statement is filed by Wachovia Corporation, a North Carolina corporation ("Wachovia"), Wachovia Private Capital, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Wachovia Private Capital") and Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia Bank"). Wachovia, Wachovia Private Capital and Wachovia Bank are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." Wachovia is a registered financial services holding company. Wachovia Private Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia and invests in publicly traded securities and private equity. Wachovia Bank is a national banking association and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia. The address and the principal place of business of Wachovia and Wachovia Bank is One Wachovia Center, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288. The address of the principal business and principal office of Wachovia Private Capital is 301 South College Street, NC 0009, Suite 4000, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288.
Certain information regarding the Reporting Persons' directors and executive officers is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein. All of the individuals listed in Exhibit 99.1 are citizens of the United States, except for Robert P. Kelly, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Executive Vice President of Wachovia and Wachovia Bank, who is a citizen of Canada.
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or any of the individuals listed in Exhibit 99.1 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which any of them was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Wachovia does not directly own any shares of Common Stock but owns 100% of the equity in both Wachovia Private Capital and Wachovia Bank. Of the 3,335,545 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Wachovia, 3,334,117 were acquired by Wachovia Private Capital in August 2001 as a result of the merger (the "Merger") of Brightlane.com, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Brightlane") with TeamSub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("TeamSub"). An additional 1,428 shares of Common Stock are held by Wachovia Bank in a fiduciary capacity.
The 3,334,117 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Wachovia Private Capital were acquired by Wachovia Private Capital in August 2001 as a result of the Merger described above. Prior to the Merger, Wachovia Private Capital owned 1,717,385 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Brightlane (the "Brightlane Preferred Stock"). The Brightlane Preferred Stock was exchanged for 3,334,117 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 6, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Issuer, TeamSub, and Brightlane. Wachovia Private Capital initially acquired the Brightlane Preferred Stock in exchange for a capital contribution in Brightlane in the amount of $19,500,000. Working capital was used by Wachovia Private Capital to fund such purchase.
The 1,428 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Wachovia Bank were not purchased directly by Wachovia Bank for its own account but are held by Wachovia Bank in a fiduciary capacity. Other persons have the right to receive dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by Wachovia and may have the right to direct the sale of such shares.
Wachovia Private Capital holds its shares of Common Stock for general investment purposes. Wachovia Bank holds the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned in a fiduciary capacity. Other persons have the right to receive dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by Wachovia Bank and may have the right to direct the sale of such shares.
The Reporting Persons or affiliates of the Reporting Persons, may from time to time acquire additional shares of Common Stock in open market or negotiated block transactions, consistent with their investment purposes. Additionally, Wachovia Private Capital may from time to time sell its shares of Common Stock in open market transactions or in negotiated block sales to one or more purchasers, consistent with its investment purpose. However, none of the Reporting Persons currently have plans to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in (i) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors, or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (vii) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (viii) causing a class of the Issuer's securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in any inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (ix) a class of the Issuer's equity securities becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
To each of the Reporting Person's knowledge, none of the individuals listed in Exhibit 99.1 beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

The information set forth in Item 4 and 5 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
As a condition to the Merger, Wachovia Private Capital entered into a Lockup Agreement dated August 31, 2001 which restricts its ability to offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant an option for sale, or otherwise dispose of, or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, the Common Stock, or to enter into any swap agreement or other agreement or transaction that transfers the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock. Under the terms of this Lockup Agreement, 50% of the Common Stock held by Wachovia Private Capital may be transferred, or otherwise disposed of, after August 31, 2002 and the remaining 50% may be transferred, or otherwise disposed of, after August 31, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lockup Agreement also provides that Wachovia Private Capital may transfer its Common Stock in a private transaction at any time, provided the acquiror agrees to be bound by the terms of the Lockup Agreement.
As a further condition to the Merger, Wachovia Private Capital and certain other shareholders of Brightlane agreed to place approximately 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer received by such shareholders as consideration in the Merger in escrow pending settlement of certain claims by third parties against Brightlane. Wachovia Private Capital is deemed to beneficially own 65,309 of these escrowed shares. While such shares are in escrow, Wachovia Private Capital may not sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer such shares. However, Wachovia Private Capital does have the sole power to vote such shares.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, two directors on the original Board of Directors of the Issuer following the Merger were nominated by Wachovia Private Capital. One Wachovia Private Capital nominee, David M. Carroll, resigned from the Board of Directors of the Issuer effective April 24, 2002. Although the Merger Agreement provides that Wachovia Private Capital has the right to nominate a replacement for Mr. Carroll until the expiration of his term in 2004, Wachovia Private Capital expressly waived this right in a Proxy Agreement between Wachovia Private Capital and the Issuer dated as of April 23, 2002 (the "Proxy Agreement"). The second Wachovia Private Capital nominee, Donald MacLeod, was recently elected by the shareholders of the Issuer to a second term as director of the Issuer. However, he has resigned from this position and Wachovia Private Capital no longer has rights to unilaterally appoint his successor.
Pursuant to the Proxy Agreement described above, Wachovia Private Capital granted the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Issuer an irrevocable proxy to vote and to exercise all voting and related rights related to certain shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by Wachovia Private Capital so that in no event shall Wachovia Private Capital and its affiliates be able to vote more than 19% of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Proxy Agreement, Wachovia Private Capital waived any and all rights to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors of the Issuer created by the resignation of Wachovia Private Capital's nominee, David M. Carroll.
The following will be filed as exhibits hereto:
