Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders of AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “AMN”) scheduled to be held on December 15, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, at the Company’s offices located at 12400 High Bluff Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92130.

On September 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of NF Investors, Inc. (“NFI”), the parent company of Nursefinders, Inc. dba Medfinders (“Medfinders”), one of the nation’s leading providers of clinical workforce managed services programs. As a result of the acquisition, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NFI, and Medfinders became our wholly owned subsidiary.

At the closing of the acquisition, the former NFI stockholders received (i) 6,300,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 5,432,570.9 shares of our newly created Series A Conditional Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), subject to potential adjustments for certain post closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations.

Shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive any dividends payable on our Common Stock (based on an as-converted basis). In addition, shares of Preferred Stock accrue dividends at a rate of 11% per annum until our stockholders approve the optional and mandatory conversion provisions and voting rights of the shares of Preferred Stock (as described below and in the accompanying proxy statement). However, if stockholder approval is obtained within 180 days following September 1, 2010, the date of the closing of the acquisition, all dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock that accrued at a rate of 11% per annum will be forgiven.

Prior to obtaining stockholder approval, shares of Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of our Common Stock and are non-voting. If stockholder approval is obtained, then each share of Preferred Stock will (i) at the option of the holder, be convertible into one share of our Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, and changes in our capital structure), (ii) automatically convert into one share of our Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, and changes in our capital structure) upon the earlier of (A) the trading price of our Common Stock being greater than or equal to $10.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days after the date stockholder approval is obtained or (B) the tenth anniversary of the original issue date of September 1, 2010 and (iii) allow the holder of such Preferred Stock to vote on all matters with holders of our Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

At the Special Meeting, holders of shares of our Common Stock will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the optional and mandatory conversion provisions and voting rights of the shares of Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal.

All holders of record of our Common Stock as of October 26, 2010 are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Please read the accompanying proxy statement for further information. It is important that your shares be represented and voted, regardless of the size of your holdings. Accordingly, whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please complete, sign and date and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the self-addressed envelope enclosed for your convenience so that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting. The proxy is revocable at any time before it is voted and will not affect your right to vote in person if you attend the Special Meeting.

Thank you for your ongoing support of and continued interest in AMN.

Sincerely,

Susan R. Salka

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF AMN HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC.

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 15, 2010

Location of the Special Meeting:

AMN Healthcare Services, Inc.

12400 High Bluff Drive, Suite 100

San Diego, California 92130

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. scheduled to be held on December 15, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, at AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., 12400 High Bluff Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92130, and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting (the “Special Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the attached Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. The notice, this proxy statement and the form of proxy enclosed are first being sent to stockholders on or about November 3, 2010. Our stockholders are invited to attend the Special Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. In this proxy statement, we refer to AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. as the “Company,” “AMN,” “we,” “our” or “us.”

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY

MATERIALS AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

Although we encourage you to read this proxy statement in its entirety, we include this question and answer section to provide some background information and brief answers to several questions you might have about the Special Meeting.

As consideration for the Merger, the former NFI stockholders received (i) 6,300,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 5,432,570.9 shares of our newly created Series

1

Table of Contents

A Conditional Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), subject to potential adjustments for certain post closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. An additional 227,272 shares were issued to former NFI stockholders and affiliates to pay transaction fees owed by NFI, for a total of 5,659,842.9 Preferred Shares. Collectively, the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (assuming conversion thereof into Common Stock) issued in connection with the Merger represented approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.

Given the large number of shares of our Common Stock that would have been required to be issued to former NFI stockholders in connection with the acquisition and the voting and conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock, we would have been required, under Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, to obtain the approval of our stockholders prior to the closing of the acquisition, which would have substantially delayed the acquisition for an estimated period of 90 – 120 days. We felt a delay of this length would have been detrimental to both the AMN and Medfinders business operations and, therefore, would not be acceptable to either party in the transaction. Specifically, a three to four month delay could have impacted current business operations by creating confusion and uncertainty for both companies’ customers, vendors and health care providers. As a staffing company whose key assets are the thousands of healthcare providers whom we place, we were particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on these provider relationships. In addition to the potential loss of their recruiter, these providers would likely also have concerns over their relationship to the future organization and the potential new company’s benefits and other policies. AMN believed that competitors would seek to capitalize on this uncertainty in marketing to both AMN’s and Medfinders’ providers and customers, negatively impacting the companies’ respective financial operations. In addition, it was believed that this uncertainty and confusion would also hinder both companies’ ability to compete for new business opportunities with customers, negatively impacting the future financial results of the companies.

We also believed that an extended period between announcement of the transaction and closing would also create confusion and serve as a distraction for our corporate employees, and that prolonged uncertainly could lead to the loss of key employees, including our sales professionals, during this period as they sought opportunities with more certainty. Any departure of key employees would further disrupt the relationships with both our healthcare facility clients and our healthcare providers.

Accordingly, our Board of Directors determined that it would be more beneficial to structure the transaction so that closing would precede shareholder approval of the convertible features of the Preferred Stock. As a result, we consulted with the NYSE and structured the Merger, in compliance with NYSE Section 312.03, so that we would issue a combination of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock and seek stockholder approval of the optional and mandatory conversion provisions and voting rights of the shares of Preferred Stock following the closing of the acquisition.

The acquisition also advances our strategic goal of diversifying the organization into adjacent business areas with the addition of Medfinders’ home health capabilities. The home health services sector offers strong growth potential and leverages our core competencies of recruiting and providing high quality clinical professionals.

Prior to the combination, the two companies had projected a combined $84 million in contract revenue billings in 2010 that were to be subcontracted to other vendors (third-parties), exclusive of AMN and Medfinders. As a combined company, we intend to achieve revenue synergies by filling those third party subcontracted revenue billings through the direct placement of healthcare providers from AMN’s travel nurse and allied businesses and Medfinders’ local per diem business. These service lines are complementary, as AMN did not previously have a local per diem offering and Medfinders did not have sufficient supply of travel nurse and allied healthcare professionals to fill the needs within its existing MSPs. Through the combination, AMN can increase fill rates in its MSP and home health businesses using internal supply from across the expanded organization.

Because the shares of Common Stock that were issued to former NFI stockholders and the shares of the Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock would exceed 20% of both the voting power and number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the issuance of our capital stock in the Merger, and because none of the exceptions to Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual are applicable to the issuance of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock may only become convertible into shares of our Common Stock and voting securities following stockholder approval.

In addition, under the Merger Agreement, we are obligated to call a special meeting of our stockholders to seek stockholder approval of the conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock and the voting rights of the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock as contemplated by the Preferred Stock Proposal.

If you are the beneficial owner of your shares of Common Stock, your broker, bank or nominee may vote your shares of Common Stock only on those proposals on which it has discretion to vote. Your broker, bank or nominee is prohibited to vote your shares of Common Stock without instructions from you on matters that are considered significant. The Preferred Stock Proposal being voted on at the Special Meeting is considered significant. Therefore, if you do not vote by proxy, your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares of Common Stock on the Preferred Stock Proposal and your shares will be considered broker “non-votes”.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of our Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, whether or not a quorum is present. Accordingly, a broker “non-vote” will not affect whether the proposal is approved. An abstention will be counted as present at the Special Meeting for purposes of the proposal and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

Shares Held Through a Broker.    If you hold shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to determine the procedure by which you can vote.

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER AND THE PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL

In connection with AMN’s long-term strategic plans to expand into new adjacent service lines and bolster its current offerings, AMN’s management continually seeks and evaluates strategic acquisition opportunities. As part of this ongoing evaluation process, in early 2010, AMN’s management held numerous discussions with several companies providing services AMN considered to provide a fit with the short and long-term objectives of AMN and performed initial due-diligence on these companies. During this process, AMN’s management identified NFI’s subsidiary Medfinders as a company with business lines that have a strong fit with AMN’s growth strategy.

Medfinders is the leading clinical managed services provider (“MSP”) for U.S. hospitals. AMN’s management recognized that the acquisition would better equip the combined company to serve existing MSP clients and provide revenue synergy opportunities. The combination would also permit AMN to share, implement and leverage best practices across the combined organization to provide more cost effective and robust workforce management solutions as demand for such services increases. Further, the acquisition advances AMN’s strategic goal of diversifying the organization into adjacent business areas with the addition of Medfinders’ home health capabilities, a sector with strong growth potential that leverages AMN’s core competencies of recruiting and providing high quality clinical professionals.

In the second quarter of 2010, certain members of AMN’s Board of Directors and senior management had informal discussions with certain members of NFI’s board of directors regarding a potential acquisition of NFI by AMN. Following such discussions, representatives of AMN conducted a preliminary due-diligence review of NFI, after which the parties, on May 7, 2010, entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”). The Letter of Intent contemplated the acquisition of NFI by AMN in an all stock transaction for a purchase price of $275 million (including the assumption of approximately $132 million of NFI’s indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock valued at the $11.00 per share liquidation value described below). Given the large number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued in connection with the acquisition of NFI, AMN would have been required, under Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, to obtain the approval of its stockholders prior to the closing of the acquisition, which would have substantially delayed the acquisition. The Board of Directors of AMN determined that it would be more advantageous, from AMN’s perspective, if the transaction were to be structured to allow AMN to close the acquisition after regulatory approval was obtained, but prior to stockholder approval, which was estimated to take 90-120 days from executing the definitive agreements for the acquisition. It was the belief of AMN’s Board of Directors and management that a delay of 90-120 days between signing an agreement to acquire NFI and closing the acquisition would have been detrimental to both the AMN and Medfinders’ business operations and, therefore, would not be acceptable to either party in the transaction.

Specifically, a three to four month delay would have created confusion and uncertainty for both AMN’s and Medfinders’ customers, vendors and healthcare providers, as to how their business relationship with the two companies might be impacted in the future. As a staffing company whose key assets are the thousands of healthcare providers whom we place, we were particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on these provider relationships given their potential concerns over their relationship to the future organization and the potential new company’s benefits and other policies. AMN believed that competitors would seek to capitalize on this uncertainty in marketing to both companies’ providers and customers.

We also believed that an extended period between announcement of the transaction and closing would create confusion and serve as a distraction for our corporate employees, and that prolonged uncertainly could lead to the loss of key employees, including our sales professionals, which would in turn further disrupt the relationships with both our healthcare facility clients and our healthcare providers. In addition, given the nature of our business and the relatively short sales cycle for substantially all of our business lines, it was believed that this uncertainty and confusion would also hinder both companies’ ability to compete for new business opportunities with customers, negatively impacting the future financial results of the companies. Accordingly, the AMN Board and management believed that AMN would be better served by closing the acquisition on an expedited basis.

10

Table of Contents

Accordingly, the Letter of Intent specified that the consideration payable by AMN to NFI’s stockholders in the acquisition would consist of two newly created classes of preferred stock of AMN (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and the “Series B Preferred Stock”):

The Letter of Intent also contemplated that commencing on the issuance date, the Series B Preferred Stock would have accrued dividends at a rate of 13% per annum until AMN’s stockholders would have approved the conversion and voting features of the Series B Preferred Stock. However, if such stockholder approval were to be obtained within six months following the issuance date, all accrued dividends would have been forgiven.

In accordance with the terms of the Letter of Intent, following the receipt of stockholder approval, both classes of preferred stock would have automatically been converted into shares of AMN’s common stock at such time as the trading price of AMN’s Common Stock would have been greater than or equal to $11.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.

During the several weeks following the execution of the Letter of Intent, AMN conducted an in-depth due diligence investigation of NFI using both internal and external resources. AMN authorized its legal counsel to draft the appropriate agreements relating to the proposed acquisition and to negotiate such agreements with NFI’s legal counsel. On July 9, 2010, in connection with AMN’s continued due diligence investigation and negotiations between the parties, AMN and NFI agreed to reduce the purchase price by $7 million to a total purchase price of $268 million (including the assumption of approximately $132 million of NFI’s indebtedness), payable utilizing the two classes of preferred stock generally described above. In addition to the reduction in price, NFI agreed to modify the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock such that if stockholder approval of the conversion and voting features of the Series B Preferred Stock would not have been obtained by the tenth anniversary of the issuance date, AMN would have had the option, at any time on or following the tenth anniversary of the issuance date, to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at a price equal to the liquidation value thereof plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

During this period, AMN received an initial indication from an investment banking firm it was considering retaining (but ultimately did not retain) that it had reservations regarding the proposed structure of the acquisition, namely, that stockholder approval of the conversion and voting features of the Series B Preferred Stock would be sought only after the consummation of the acquisition of NFI. The investment bank also expressed reservations regarding the proposed amount of consideration (as described above) to be paid by AMN. The bank’s preliminary valuation indication (i) did not take into account the cost savings and synergies that AMN expected to realize as a result of the acquisition of NFI and (ii) valued the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at or near its full liquidation preference of $11.00 per share.

11

Table of Contents

The foregoing was communicated to NFI by AMN on July 12, 2010 and, later that day, NFI submitted a new proposal (the “July 12 Proposal”) to AMN. Pursuant to the July 12 Proposal, AMN would acquire NFI for a purchase price of approximately $242 million (including the assumption of approximately $132 million of NFI’s indebtedness), representing a reduction of approximately $33 million, or approximately 12%, from the original purchase price outlined in the Letter of Intent. In addition, the form of the consideration payable by AMN would be revised to consist of newly issued shares of Common Stock and one class of newly created shares of preferred stock of AMN. The shareholder approval component of the transaction, that is shareholder approval after closing of the transaction, remained unchanged from the Letter of Intent.

Pursuant to the July 12 Proposal, 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock of AMN, representing approximately 19.2% of AMN’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, would be issued to the NFI stockholders. The July 12 Proposal assumed that the value for each share of our Common Stock was $7.70 per share (representing the approximate average trailing 30-day closing share price of our Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending July 12, 2010), or approximately $48.5 million in the aggregate.

The NFI stockholders would also receive a new class of shares of preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) of AMN having rights and preferences similar to the rights and preference of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock described above, except that the liquidation value of each such newly created share of preferred stock would be equal to $10.00 per share, or approximately $57 million in the aggregate (representing a reduction in the liquidation value of $1.00 per share, or approximately $9 million in the aggregate, when compared to the initial terms of the Letter of Intent), and the dividend rate payable until AMN stockholder approval of the conversion and voting features of the Preferred Stock is obtained would be reduced from 13% to 11% per annum. The conversion and other provisions of this class of Preferred Stock would be the same as those of the Series B Preferred Stock.

AMN communicated the terms of the July 12 Proposal to the investment banking firm AMN was considering retaining. AMN also informed the investment banking firm that the NYSE had been advised of the proposed structure to issue a combination of Common Stock and Preferred Stock and obtain stockholder approval of the optional and mandatory conversion provisions and voting rights of the shares of Preferred Stock following the closing of the acquisition and had not expressed concerns with such a structure. Notwithstanding, in subsequent discussions, a representative of the investment banking firm informed a representative of AMN that it continued to have reservations about the structure of the proposed acquisition, that is the shareholder vote after closing of the acquisition. However, the investment banking firm did not express any reservation about the amount of the consideration being offered pursuant to the July 12 Proposal.

Later on July 13, 2010, AMN’s Board of Directors met and, after deliberation, unanimously determined to authorize AMN to continue pursuing the acquisition of NFI on terms consistent with the July 12 Proposal, including directing AMN management to consult with an additional financial advisor regarding the proposed structure and valuation of NFI. AMN’s Board of Directors determined that, because of the material modifications to the terms of the proposed acquisition, including the significantly reduced purchase price, the ability to issue shares of Common Stock of AMN instead of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which would have carried an $11.00 per share liquidation preference) and the reduction in the liquidation preference and dividend rate of the Preferred Stock to be issued, AMN should formally engage an independent financial advisor other than the financial advisor that AMN had previously consulted with to assist and advise AMN and its Board of Directors in its evaluation of the acquisition.

Over the next several days, representatives of AMN consulted with representatives of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey with respect to the proposed acquisition of NFI, during which the parties discussed the structure and the terms of the July 12 Proposal and its financial implications.

On July 22, 2010, AMN formally engaged SunTrust Robinson Humphrey as an independent financial advisor to provide assistance to AMN’s Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the proposed acquisition of NFI.

Table of Contents

Representatives of AMN and AMN’s legal counsel continued negotiating the terms of the definitive agreements with representatives of NFI and NFI’s legal counsel, the terms of which were provided to and discussed with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.

On July 27, 2010, AMN’s Board of Directors held a meeting at which representatives of legal counsel and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, its independent financial advisor, were present and, after consultation with their advisors and lengthy discussion, approved the definitive agreements relating to the acquisition of NFI.

On July 28, 2010, AMN and NFI executed the Merger Agreement and certain other related agreements.

On September 1, 2010, AMN completed the acquisition of NFI.

Throughout the negotiation and diligence process, AMN’s Board consulted legal advisors and independent financial advisors on relevant financial issues, and undertook a comprehensive review of the potential benefits and structure of an acquisition of Medfinders. Between February and August, the full Board met seven times and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors met four times to consider the transaction. In negotiating the terms of the transaction, the Board was committed to seeking to maximize value for AMN stockholders. In approving the structure of the transaction and the issuance of conditional convertible preferred shares, AMN’s board took into account, among other factors: the potential strategic benefits of the combination, including cost and revenue synergies; the potential value of the combined company’s common stock, and the important benefits of minimizing delay and uncertainty in closing the transaction.

PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL:

APPROVAL OF THE OPTIONAL AND MANDATORY

CONVERSION PROVISIONS

AND VOTING RIGHTS OF THE SHARES OF

PREFERRED STOCK

For the reasons described above in “Questions and Answers about these Proxy Materials and the Special Meeting” and as described below, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving the optional and mandatory conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock and the voting rights of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock.

Our Board of Directors further directed that the proposed action to be submitted for consideration of our stockholders at the Special Meeting to be called for that purpose and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the Preferred Stock Proposal.

As discussed under “Background of the Merger and the Preferred Stock Proposal,” we entered into a Merger Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NFI. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, as consideration to former NFI stockholders, we issued 6,300,000 shares of our Common Stock and 5,432,570.9 shares of our Preferred Stock, subject to potential adjustments for certain post closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. An additional 227,272 shares of Preferred Stock were issued to former NFI stockholders and affiliates to pay transaction fees owed by NFI.

Because our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE, we are subject to certain NYSE listing rules and regulations. Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of transactions, if (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock or (ii) the number of shares of common stock is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock.

Because the shares of Common Stock that were issued to former NFI stockholders and the shares of the Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock would exceed 20% of both the voting power and number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the issuance of our capital stock in the Merger, and because none of the exceptions to Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual are applicable to the issuance of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock may only become convertible into shares of our Common Stock and voting securities following stockholder approval.

In addition, under the Merger Agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to call and hold, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the closing of the Merger, a meeting of our stockholders to vote on and approve the optional and mandatory conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock and the voting rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.

The purpose of the Special Meeting is to satisfy our obligations under the Merger Agreement to seek the approval of our stockholders of the optional and mandatory conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock and the right of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock to vote on all matters with holders of shares of our Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

If our stockholders do not approve the Preferred Stock Proposal at the Special Meeting, the shares of Preferred Stock will continue to be non-convertible, non-voting and will continue to accrue dividends at a rate of 11% per annum.

If our stockholders approve the Preferred Stock Proposal at the Special Meeting, then the Preferred Stock will cease to accrue dividends at a rate of 11% per annum, may be converted, at the option of the holder or

14

Table of Contents

automatically (in accordance with its terms), into our Common Stock and will be entitled to vote on all matters with the shares of our Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Further, if stockholders approve the Preferred Stock Proposal at a Special Meeting at any time within 180 days following the closing of the Merger (i.e., by March 1, 2011), all dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock that accrued at a rate of 11% per annum will be forgiven.

Based on the capitalization of the Company as of October 26, 2010, and the initial conversion rate of one share of Common Stock per share of Preferred Stock, the conversion of the Preferred Stock would result in the holders thereof owning approximately 13% of our outstanding Common Stock after giving effect to such conversion (net of the shares of our Common Stock already held by such persons) or approximately 26% of our outstanding Common Stock after giving effect to such conversion (including the shares of our Common Stock already held by such persons).

Furthermore, if the Preferred Stock Proposal has not been approved by September 1, 2020, the shares of Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time on or after such date, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price per share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (a) $10.00 (as adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) plus (b) an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to but excluding the date fixed for such redemption, and (y) the product of (a) the market price per share of our Common Stock and (b) the number of shares of our Common Stock that such holder of Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive had it converted each such share of Preferred Stock (whether or not such holder of Preferred Stock had been eligible to convert its shares of Preferred Stock on such redemption date). The term “market price” means the average closing price of our Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the date as of which the market price is to be determined.

AMN’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THE PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL—APPROVAL OF THE OPTIONAL AND MANDATORY CONVERSION PROVISIONS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK AND THE RIGHT OF THE HOLDERS OF THE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK TO VOTE ON ALL MATTERS WITH HOLDERS OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ON AN AS-CONVERTED BASIS.

Merger Agreement

As described above, on July 28, 2010, we entered into the Merger Agreement with certain of our subsidiaries, NFI, the parent company of Medfinders, and GSUIG, pursuant to which, one of our subsidiaries merged with and into NFI, with NFI continuing as the surviving corporation and, immediately thereafter, NFI (as the surviving corporation of the Merger) merged with and into Nightingale Acquisition, with Nightingale Acquisition continuing as the surviving entity. Upon the completion of the Merger, Medfinders became our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the former NFI stockholders received (i) 6,300,000 newly issued shares of our Common Stock and (ii) 5,432,570.9 shares of our Preferred Stock, subject to potential adjustments for certain post closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. An additional 227,272 shares of Preferred Stock were issued to former NFI stockholders and affiliates to pay transaction fees owed by NFI. Collectively, at the closing of the acquisition, the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (assuming conversion thereof into shares of our Common Stock) issued in connection with the Merger represented approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AMN. The Merger was completed on September 1, 2010.

Representations and Warranties.    In the Merger Agreement, AMN made customary representations and warranties to NFI relating to, among other things, its capitalization, financial statements, absence of material adverse effect and AMN’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NFI also made customary representations and warranties to AMN relating to, among other things, its (and its subsidiaries’) capital structure and organization, its financial condition and its business, operations, permits, licenses, home health activities, franchise matters and assets. Many of these representations and warranties are subject to customary “materiality” exceptions and “knowledge” qualifiers. NFI’s and AMN’s representations and warranties survive for 18 months following the closing of the Merger, other than certain fundamental representations and warranties (with respect to, among others, organization, capitalization, affiliated transactions and health care compliance) which survive for 24 months following the closing of the Merger.

Agreement to Seek Shareholder Approval.    Under the Merger Agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to call and hold, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the closing of the Merger, a meeting of our stockholders to vote on the Preferred Stock Proposal.

Funding Fee and Reimbursement of Expenses.    Under the Merger Agreement, AMN agreed to pay certain obligations of NFI at the closing of the Merger (including the fees and expenses related to the Merger) in exchange for a corresponding reduction in the merger consideration payable to NFI’s stockholders in the Merger. Included in these obligations were a transaction fee equal to $2.5 million that NFI owed to certain of its stockholders or affiliates of certain stockholders for advisory services rendered to NFI in connection with the Merger, and a fee equal to $916,667 that NFI owed to certain of its stockholders or affiliates of certain

16

Table of Contents

stockholders for management services provided to NFI prior to the Merger pursuant to a management services agreement, which was terminated at the closing of the Merger. Both of the fees were payable by NFI in consideration for services rendered to NFI prior to the closing of the Merger. These fees were not for services provided to AMN. Furthermore, there are no continuing obligations owed by the recipients of these payments or any other stockholder to NFI or AMN under these services arrangements following the closing of the Merger. As a result, at the closing of the Merger, AMN issued 227,272 shares of Preferred Stock in satisfaction of NFI’s obligations to pay the transaction fee that for purposes of the calculation is assumed to equal $2.5 million, and AMN also paid $916,667 in cash in satisfaction of NFI’s obligations pursuant to the management services agreement. As part of these payments, GSUIG, which owned approximately 48% of the stock of NFI prior to the Merger, and Haas Wheat & Partners Incorporated,¹ an affiliate of a stockholder that owned approximately 23% of NFI prior to the Merger, each received $305,555.67 in cash and 102,272.4 shares of Preferred Stock.

Indemnification.    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, NFI is obligated to indemnify AMN for all losses resulting from (i) breaches of NFI’s representations and warranties, (ii) NFI’s breach or failure to perform its covenants under the Merger Agreement, (iii) any exercise or purported exercise of appraisal rights by NFI stockholders and (iv) any and all losses based upon, relating to, arising out of or resulting from a certain settlement agreement entered into by NFI and certain of its then-existing stockholders. Similarly, AMN is obligated to indemnify NFI for all losses resulting from (i) breaches of AMN’s representations and warranties and (ii) AMN’s breach or failure to perform its covenants under the Merger Agreement. The total amount of each of NFI’s and AMN’s indemnification liability will not exceed $16 million, with claims required to be asserted within 24 months following the closing.

Escrow.    At the closing, an amount equal to a determined amount that for calculation purposes is assumed to be $16 million (represented by 1,454,545 shares of Preferred Stock) was deposited in escrow to satisfy any indemnification claims by AMN against NFI with respect to (i) breaches of representations, warranties and covenants by NFI and (ii) any and all losses based upon, relating to, arising out of or resulting from a certain settlement agreement entered into by NFI and certain of its then-existing stockholders. Any shares of Preferred Stock remaining in escrow (net of any shares of Preferred Stock returned to AMN in satisfaction of any indemnification claims by AMN against NFI) will be released to former NFI stockholders two years after the closing of the Merger. Additionally, an amount that for calculation purposes is assumed to be equal to $3 million (represented by 272,727 shares of Preferred Stock) was also deposited in escrow until settlement of certain post closing purchase price adjustments and any outstanding appraisal claims by NFI stockholders. Any shares of Preferred Stock remaining in escrow following the resolution of any and all post closing purchase price adjustments and outstanding appraisal claims will be released to former NFI stockholders.

Stockholders Agreement

On July 28, 2010, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and the Preferred Stockholders entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted to the Preferred Stockholders certain governance related rights so long as the Preferred Stockholders maintain certain ownership percentage thresholds. The material governance related rights and ownership percentages are described below. Calculation of the relevant ownership percentage in each case assumes that the shares of Preferred Stock were fully converted into shares of our Common Stock.

Board Representation.    Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, two former NFI stockholders who received Common Stock and Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger each had the right to nominate, at the effective time of the Merger, one director to our Board of Directors to serve until the first annual or special meeting of stockholders of AMN at which directors are to be elected. Mr. Walton and Mr. Chavez were appointed as the initial directors on September 1, 2010. However, (i) if HWP Capital Partners II, L.P. (one of

17

Table of Contents

such former NFI stockholders) holds less than 5% (on an as-converted basis) of our issued and outstanding capital stock at any time prior to such special or annual meeting of stockholders, then AMN has the right to remove Mr. Walton from the Board of Directors and (ii) if GSUIG (the other former NFI stockholder) holds less than 10% (on an as-converted basis) of our issued and outstanding capital stock at any time prior to such special or annual meeting of stockholders, then AMN has the right to remove Mr. Chavez from the Board of Directors. Furthermore, for as long as GSUIG holds 10% or more of our issued and outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis), GSUIG has the right to nominate one director to our Board of Directors.

Voting.    The Preferred Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of AMN capital stock eligible to vote in favor of any of their and AMN’s nominees for election to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Preferred Stockholders have agreed to vote their shares of AMN capital stock eligible to vote (i) against the removal of any of AMN’s nominated directors and (ii) with respect to any other action to be voted on (other than a business combination involving AMN), in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendation. Each Preferred Stockholder’s obligation to vote in such manner will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Preferred Stockholder’s ownership percentage of AMN issued and outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis) falls below 3% or (ii) the date on which any Preferred Stockholder which is a limited partnership transfers, in accordance with a plan of distribution or liquidation, the AMN capital stock owned by such Preferred Stockholder to its limited partners if such limited partner owns, after giving effect to such transfer, less than 3% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AMN entitled to vote (if, however, the limited partner holds 3% or more of AMN issued and outstanding capital stock, such transferee will remain obligated with respect to such voting requirements).

Restrictions on Transfer of AMN Securities.    The Preferred Stockholders are prohibited from transferring any shares of Common Stock (including shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock) and shares of Preferred Stock received in connection with the Merger for six months following closing of the Merger. Thereafter, the Preferred Stockholders will be able to dispose of the shares of AMN capital stock received by them in connection with the Merger to unaffiliated third parties as follows: up to 20% of the stock of AMN received by them every six months (with each additional 20% increment being cumulative and in addition to the amount such Preferred Stockholder was otherwise permitted to sell but did not sell in the previous six-month period).

In addition, Preferred Stockholders are restricted from, subject to certain exceptions, knowingly transferring any of the shares of our Common Stock (including shares of our Common Stock received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) or shares of Preferred Stock received in connection with the Merger to (i) an AMN competitor and (ii) persons who, after giving effect to such transfer, would own more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of AMN.

Restrictions on Acquisition of Additional AMN Securities.    Commencing at the closing of the Merger and continuing until the fifth anniversary of the closing, the Preferred Stockholders are prohibited from (i) acquiring additional shares of our Common Stock (or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock), (ii) entering into an agreement relating to a change of control transaction or other extraordinary transactions involving AMN (other than in connection with a third party tender offer) and (iii) taking certain other actions relating to the voting of AMN securities.

Registration Rights Agreement

On September 1, 2010, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company, certain former NFI stockholders (parties to the Stockholders Agreement) and certain affiliates of such certain former NFI stockholders entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted such persons and their permitted assignees and pledgees certain registration rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock issued as consideration for the Merger and issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock.

18

Table of Contents

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, no later than December 30, 2010, if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company will use Form S-3 to register all of the shares of Common Stock issued to, and all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock issued to, certain former NFI stockholders and affiliates in connection with the Merger. If the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 at any time after March 1, 2011, certain former NFI stockholders and affiliates who received Common Stock and Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger are entitled to two demand registrations provided that any such demand registration must have an anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of at least $20 million, or less than $20 million if such demand registration includes the remainder of the securities covered by the Registration Rights Agreement. Beginning on March 1, 2011, certain former NFI stockholders and affiliates who received Common Stock and Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger are also entitled to unlimited piggyback rights on any registrations by the Company for its own account or the account of another stockholder, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing registration rights are subject to customary limitations and exceptions, including the Company’s right to defer the registration in certain circumstances and certain cutbacks by the underwriters if the offering would have a material adverse effect on the distribution or the sales price of the Common Stock in the offering.

In connection with the registrations described above, the Company has agreed to indemnify any selling stockholders, and the Company will bear all fees, costs and expenses (except underwriting discounts and selling commissions).

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the preferences, limitations, voting powers and relative rights of the Preferred Stock as contained in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Conditional Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Certificate of Designations. While we believe this summary covers the material terms and provisions of the Certificate of Designations, we encourage you to read the Certificate of Designations, which was included as Exhibit 3.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 1, 2010. For more information about accessing this Current Report on Form 8-K and the other information we file with the SEC, please see “Where You Can Find More Information” below.

Dividends

The Preferred Stock is entitled to receive any dividends payable on our Common Stock. In addition, the Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 11% per annum until our stockholders approve the Preferred Stock Proposal. At the option of AMN, such accrued dividends can be paid in cash or added to the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock. If our stockholders approve the Preferred Stock Proposal at a special meeting at any time within 180 days following the closing of the Merger (i.e., by March 1, 2011), all dividends on the Preferred Stock that accrued at the rate of 11% per annum will be forgiven.

Ranking

With respect to dividend rights and distribution rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of AMN, the Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to our Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of AMN that ranks junior to the Preferred Stock and (ii) pari passu with each other class or series of preferred stock established after the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and distribution rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of AMN (in each case, regardless of whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).

Liquidation Preference

In the event (i) AMN, voluntarily or involuntarily, liquidates, dissolves, or winds up or (ii) an event of change of control occurs with respect to AMN, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, for each share of Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (x) $10.00 (as adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) plus an amount per share equal to accrued but unpaid dividends and (y) the per share amount of all cash or property to be distributed in respect of our Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive had such holder converted such Preferred Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or change of control.

If, in connection with any distribution described above, the assets of AMN or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay the liquidation preferences in full to all holders of Preferred Stock and all holders of parity stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Preferred Stock and to the holders of all such other parity stock will be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidation preferences of the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other parity stock.

Voting Rights

Prior to the approval of the Preferred Stock Proposal, the holders of Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote except as required by applicable law. At any time after the approval of the Preferred Stock Proposal, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of our Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

20

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding whether or not the Preferred Stock Proposal has been approved, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive notice of any stockholders meeting delivered to the holders of our Common Stock in accordance with our by-laws and to otherwise receive all other notices and information made available or delivered by AMN to the holders of our Common Stock.

Redemption

If the Preferred Stock Proposal has not been approved by September 1, 2020, the shares of Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time on or after such date, at the option of AMN, at a redemption price per share of Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (a) $10.00 (as adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) plus (b) an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to but excluding the date fixed for such redemption, and (y) the product of (a) the market price per share of our Common Stock and (b) the number of shares of our Common Stock that such holder of Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive had it converted each such share of Preferred Stock (whether or not such holder of Preferred Stock had been eligible to convert its shares of Preferred Stock on such redemption date). The term “market price” means the average closing price of our Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the date as of which the market price is to be determined.

Conversion

In compliance with the NYSE rules and regulations, the Preferred Stock is not convertible into our Common Stock prior to the approval of the Preferred Stock Proposal. If the Preferred Stock Proposal is approved, then each share of the Preferred Stock will be convertible into one share of our Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, and changes in our capital structure) at the option of the holder.

Also, if stockholder approval is obtained, each share of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of our Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, and changes in our capital structure) upon the earlier of (A) the trading price of our Common Stock being equal to or greater than $10.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) for 30 consecutive trading days following the stockholder approval or (B) the tenth anniversary of the original issue date of September 1, 2010.

In general, each share of Preferred Stock will be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the sum of (A) $10.00 (as adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to Common Stock or Preferred Stock) plus (B) except to the extent paid in cash at the time of the conversion, an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, to which such holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive through, but excluding, the conversion date, divided by (y) 10 (as adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into our Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change with respect to our Common Stock or Preferred Stock).

Anti-Dilution Adjustments

The number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the optional or mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments from time to time. Adjustments will be made

21

Table of Contents

to reflect dividends (other than regular periodic cash dividends on our Common Stock), certain distributions, share splits, reclassifications, combinations or the grant of certain rights or warrants, in each case, with respect of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as appropriate, and any other action our Board of Directors determines in good faith that it would be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the conversion rate. However, no adjustments will be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.00% of the conversion rate then in effect.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable in respect of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so converted at one time by the same holder, the Company will pay in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the last trading day before conversion and (ii) such fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS

Effective as of September 1, 2010, Mr. Wyche H. Walton and Mr. Martin Chavez were appointed to our Board of Directors. Because Messrs. Walton and Chavez did not join our Board of Directors until after the approval and the consummation of the Merger, they did not participate in their capacity as directors in discussions of, or vote with respect to, matters related to the Merger that were approved by our Board of Directors, including the Board of Directors’ vote recommending approval of the optional and mandatory conversion provisions of the Preferred Stock and of the voting rights of the Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, (i) if HWP Capital Partners II, L.P. (a former NFI stockholder which received Common Stock and Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger) holds less than 5% (on an as-converted basis) of our issued and outstanding capital stock at any time prior to the first special or annual meeting of stockholders of AMN at which directors are to be elected, then AMN has the right to remove Mr. Walton from the Board of Directors and (ii) if GSUIG (a former NFI stockholder which received Common Stock and Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger) holds less than 10% (on an as-converted basis) of our issued and outstanding capital stock at any time prior to such special or annual meeting of stockholders, then AMN has the right to remove Mr. Chavez from the Board of Directors. Furthermore, for as long as GSUIG holds 10% or more of our issued and outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis), GSUIG will have the right to nominate one director to our Board of Directors.

As new, non-employee directors, Messrs. Walton and Chavez each received 6,275 restricted stock units and 5,397 stock appreciation rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.55, the fair market value, based on the average price on August 31, 2010, and will receive a pro-rated annual retainer amounting to $29,167.

Mr. Chavez is a managing director of Goldman, Sachs & Co., the investment manager for GSUIG and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the sole member of GSUIG. Goldman Sachs & Co. (or another broker or dealer subsidiary of the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.) beneficially owns directly, and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, 28,184 shares of our Common Stock. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Merger, GSUIG (i) exchanged all of its interest in NFI for 3,012,454 shares of our Common Stock and 2,536,660.6 shares of our Preferred Stock and (ii) received 102,272.4 shares of our Preferred Stock in consideration for a transaction fee payable to GSUIG by NFI. In addition, an additional 809,140.7 shares of our Preferred Stock were issued in exchange for GSUIG’s interest in NFI, but such 809,140.7 shares of our Preferred Stock are currently being held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to satisfy post closing claims of AMN with respect to indemnification obligations and purchase price adjustments. Mr. Chavez disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.

Mr. Walton is a managing director of and has an equity interest in HWP Capital Partners II, L.P. and is a managing director of Haas Wheat & Partners Incorporated, which is an affiliate of HWP Capital Partners II, L.P. In connection with the closing of the Merger, (i) HWP Capital Partners II, L.P. exchanged all of its interest in NFI for 1,426,149 shares of Common Stock and 506,959.5 shares of our Preferred Stock and (ii) Haas Wheat & Partners Incorporated received 102,272.4 shares of our Preferred Stock in consideration for a transaction fee payable to Haas Wheat & Partners Incorporated by NFI. In addition, an additional 385,992.7 shares of our Preferred Stock were issued in exchange for HWP Capital Partners II, L.P.’s interest in NFI, but such 385,992.7 shares of Preferred Stock are currently being held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to satisfy post closing claims arising by AMN with respect to indemnification obligations and purchase price adjustments. Mr. Walton disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.

In addition, as described above under “Description of the Transaction Documents—Merger Agreement—Funding Fee and Reimbursement of Expenses,” pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GSUIG and Haas Wheat & Partners Incorporated each received $305,555.67 in cash as payment for a management fee owed by NFI.

23

Table of Contents

Other than in each case as described above, no directors or officers of AMN received any shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger and no directors or officers of AMN beneficially own any Preferred Stock.

Based on the capitalization of AMN as of October 26, 2010, and the initial conversion rate of one share of Common Stock per share of Preferred Stock, the conversion of the Preferred Stock would result in the former NFI stockholders owning approximately 26% of our outstanding Common Stock after giving effect to such conversion.

Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock

The following table sets forth certain information as of the record date, October 26, 2010, regarding (i) the security holdings of each person, including any group of persons, known by AMN to be the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of our outstanding Common Stock, (ii) the beneficial ownership interest in our Common Stock of each director of AMN, and each of the named executive officers of AMN and (iii) the beneficial ownership interest of all directors and executive officers of AMN as a group. Except as indicated in the notes following the table below, each person or group has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock listed.

Beneficial ownership is determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares the power to vote such security or the power to dispose of such security. The amounts set forth in the table below as beneficially owned include shares owned, if any, by spouses and relatives living in the same home as to which beneficial ownership may be disclaimed.
