On November 2, 2007, MedQuist Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors, in connection with its previously-disclosed review of strategic alternatives, is evaluating whether a sale of the Company is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(c) Exhibits.

Reference is made to the Exhibit Index annexed hereto and made a part hereof.

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this press release regarding MedQuist's business which are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation that the Company's evaluation of whether a sale of the Company is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders may not result in a sale of the Company, and that any potential sale transaction reviewed by the Company may not be attractive to shareholders and may not result in enhanced shareholder value. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in forward- looking statements. As a result, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
