Taleo Working to Meet NASDAQ Requirements

Company Receives Notice from NASDAQ Regarding Form 10-K

Dublin, CA - Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO), the leading provider of on-demand talent management solutions, announced that it is working to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s listing requirements. The Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market on March 30, 2009, indicating that, because Taleo did not timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the company is not currently in compliance with the continued listing requirements set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The delay in filing the Form 10-K was due to the Company’s accounting practice review, which it concluded on March 23, 2009. Taleo is now working diligently to complete its delayed filings and expects to file the Form 10-K, and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, by April 30, 2009. Upon filing the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, Taleo will again become compliant with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

As previously announced, on November 13, 2008, Taleo received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that the company was not in compliance with Rule 4310(c)(14) due to failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Following receipt of that letter, Taleo submitted original and supplemental plans to NASDAQ, outlining its planned actions to regain compliance. The March NASDAQ letter, which was expected, requires that Taleo submit an update by April 14, 2009 to its original and supplemental plans to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement. Taleo intends to timely submit to NASDAQ an update to its previously submitted plans to regain compliance with NASDAQ listing standards.
