Business Wire, Sept 23, 2008

MAITLAND, Fla. -- Workstream Inc. (NASDAQ:WSTM), a leading provider of on-demand compensation, performance and talent management solutions, today announced that on September 17, 2008 it received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market that it is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because of its failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. Consequently, Workstream's common shares are subject to delisting on September 26, 2008 unless Workstream files an appeal. The Company filed an appeal of that decision with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel on September 22, 2008 requesting continued listing of its common shares until the Panel's review and determination. The suspension of trading and delisting is stayed pending the appeal.
