**Cross Country Healthcare Announces CEO Transition**

*Co-Founder and Chairman, Kevin C. Clark, Returns as Chief Executive Officer*

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2025-- Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company" and "Cross Country") (Nasdaq: CCRN) today announced that John A. Martins, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, has separated from the Company and ceased to serve as a member of its Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective as of December 14, 2025. The Board appointed Kevin C. Clark, the Company's current Chairman, former Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder, to succeed Mr. Martins as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Clark will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board.

"The Board members are thrilled to have Kevin return as Cross Country's CEO to embark on a new chapter of growth" said Cross Country's Lead Independent Director, Larry Cash. "Kevin brings nearly 40 years of experience in the healthcare staffing industry. He co-founded Cross Country in 1986, serving as Chairman and CEO until 1994 and he returned to lead Cross Country as its CEO from 2019 to 2022, which resulted in a period of rapid growth and strong financial results. From 2002 to 2015, he co-founded Onward Healthcare, a leading travel nurse, allied health and per diem company, and also led Locum Leaders and Medefis until all three were acquired in 2015."

In addition to his significant healthcare staffing and workforce solutions experience, Mr. Clark has built and led other innovative staffing, marketing and technology companies. Kevin has a proven record of transformative leadership and operational excellence. He is the right leader to chart Cross Country's next phase of financial growth.

Mr. Cash continued, "Kevin is an extraordinary leader whose passion and vision will usher in a new era of innovative AI-led, tech-enabled workforce solutions at Cross Country. In light of the termination of the transaction with Aya Healthcare, the Board believes that it is the right time for a CEO transition. On behalf of the entire Board, we thank John for his service and contributions to the Company."

"I believe in Cross Country and its future, and I am honored to be returning as its CEO," said Mr. Clark. He continued, "Cross Country stands at a pivotal moment, with the opportunity to redefine its trajectory as an innovative tech-enabled workforce solutions leader built on a nearly 40-year legacy as an iconic brand in our industry. Our strong value proposition combines trust, unrelenting quality, clinical excellence and deep client relationships with modern digital platforms and data driven solutions that help our clients solve their most complex workforce challenges. We will sharpen our focus, reduce our costs to serve, and optimize our capital allocation strategy so we can make meaningful, disciplined investments that drive sustainable, long-term profitable growth for our shareholders."
