Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
(a) Not applicable.
(b) On March 23, 2006, Nicholas G. Moore notified Hudson Highland Group, Inc. (the “Company”) that he will resign as a director of the Company effective upon the Company’s 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, which is currently scheduled for May 5, 2006. Mr. Moore is resigning as a director of the Company because he will be appointed to the audit committee of another public company that has an audit committee charter that does not permit a director to serve on more than three audit committees, which would have prevented Mr. Moore from continuing to serve on the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Not applicable.
A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Moore’s resignation, issued by the Company on March 28, 2006, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
