      Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. (Company) (NYSE: MRN) today 
      announced that arrangements for the transition of trading of the 
      Company’s common stock from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to the 
      OTCQX market have been completed. Trading on the NYSE and the Company’s 
      trading symbol “MRN” will be suspended as of the opening of the market 
      on Monday, December 15, 2008. Effective at the opening of the market on 
      Monday, December 15, 2008, the Company’s common stock will be traded on 
      the OTCQX market and quoted under the symbol “MSNW.”
    
    
      Kevin S. Little, president and chief financial officer, stated: “It is 
      important for our shareholders to understand that although we are 
      changing markets, nothing has changed with the shares themselves. 
      Shareholders are still the registered owners of the securities and can 
      trade them. Instead of trading them on the NYSE, they will now be 
      available for trading over-the-counter on the OTCQX market, which is a 
      well-known, centralized quotation service that collects and publishes 
      quotes for OTC securities.”
