Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 15, 2007, John H. Underwood informed the Board of Directors of MedQuist Inc. (the "Company") that he does not intend to seek re-election at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders. As previously announced, the Company anticipates filing a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007. The Company plans on holding the annual meeting within thirty days of the date on which a definitive proxy statement is mailed to its shareholders.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS:

In connection with the Company's upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, it will be filing a proxy statement and potentially other relevant documents concerning the annual meeting with the SEC. BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING ANY OF THE BUSINESS PROPERLY BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Share holders can obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents when they become available by contacting Investor Relations, MedQuist Inc., 1000 Bishops Gate Blvd., Suite 300, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054. In addition, documents filed with the SEC will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Company and its executive officers and directors may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the upcoming annual meeting. Certain information about such individuals (including their ownership of shares of our common stock) is set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is available free of charge from the Company and the SEC as indicated above.
