Monster Worldwide Receives Anticipated Nasdaq Notice

Monster Worldwide, Inc. today announced that it has received a Nasdaq Staff Determination notice stating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

Monster Worldwide anticipated receipt of this notice because, as previously disclosed, the ongoing independent review of past stock option grant practices has caused the Company to delay the filing of its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006. Monster Worldwide, in accordance with Nasdaq procedures, will request a hearing to review the determination notice before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.

Also, as previously disclosed, a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Stock Market after failing to file Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended June 30, 2006. Monster Worldwide’s continued listing is subject to the Company filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as well as any necessary restatements, on or before December 13, 2006.
