Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 15, 2011, MedQuist Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Also on August 15, 2011, the Company disclosed additional information regarding the previously announced proposed exchange offer and short-form merger. The portions of the Press Release that relate to the discussion of the proposed exchange offer and short-form merger are being filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K and are herein incorporated by reference.
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. The offer to exchange the Company’s shares for MedQuist Inc. shares, if made, will only be made pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4, a letter of transmittal and related offer documents to be filed by the Company with the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF MEDQUIST INC. ARE URGED TO READ SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4 AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTEMPLATED EXCHANGE OFFER AND MERGER. UPON FILING WITH THE SEC, THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FREE ON THE SEC’S WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV). Holders of MedQuist Inc. shares will need to make their own decision whether to tender shares in the contemplated exchange offer. Neither MedQuist Inc. nor any other person is making any recommendation as to whether or not holders of MedQuist Inc. shares should tender their shares for exchange in the contemplated exchange offer.
