Resources Global Professionals Named `Supercharged Performer' in Fortune Magazine Annual Ranking

Costa Mesa, CA, September 18, 2006 – Resources Global Professionals, a leading multinational provider of professional services and the operating subsidiary of Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN), is pleased to announce that the company has been selected as one of Fortune Magazine's 100 Fastest-Growing Companies for 2006 in its annual ranking of "supercharged performers."

Costa Mesa, California-based Resources placed #61 on Fortune's overall list for 2006 and #13 in California, the state that's home to the greatest number of fast-growing companies in the business magazine's rankings. Fortune said it compiled its list, which is published in the magazine's September 18, 2006, issue, by giving equal weight to three factors: profit and sales growth for the three years through March 2006, and three-year total stock market return through June 2006.

"We are delighted to be selected by Fortune, one of the world's most prestigious business publications, to its annual list of 100 Fastest-Growing Companies," said Donald B. Murray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Resources Global Professionals. "This honor is a tribute to the company's employees and to our success in responding effectively to the needs of our clients."

In June, Resources was selected #21 on BusinessWeek's list of 100 Hot Growth Companies to watch in 2006, and the firm has been named to the Forbes 200 Best Small Companies list for the past four years. Founded in 1996, Resources has been a publicly traded company since December 2000. Since its stock market listing, the company has increased its annual revenue fivefold to approximately $634 million in fiscal 2006, and its net income more than nine times to beyond $60 million. In addition, the firm has tripled the number of global employees to 3,600, and has more than doubled the number of offices in the U.S. and internationally to 79.
