Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective January 23, 2012, MedQuist Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) changed its name to MModal Inc. The name change was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) through the Company’s merger with a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary which, under the DGCL, does not require stockholder approval. Pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL, such merger had the effect of amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the new legal name of the Company. The Company also amended the Company’s By-laws, effective as of the same date, to reflect the name change.

The merger and resulting name change do not affect the rights of stockholders of the Company. There were no other changes to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws. On January 25, 2012, the Company’s common stock, which trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, will cease trading under the ticker symbol “MEDH” and commence trading under the ticker symbol “MODL.”

A copy of the Certificate of Ownership and Merger effecting the name change, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 23, 2012, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the By-laws of the Company, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 24, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the transaction described above. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
