FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROTECH HEALTHCARE INC., RECEIVES NASDAQ NOTICE

REGARDING CAPITAL MARKET LISTING DEFICIENCY

ORLANDO, FL – April 23, 2008 - Rotech Healthcare Inc., (NASDAQ: ROHI) (the “Company”) announced that it received on April 17, 2008 a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter stating that the Company has failed to comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3), which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In its letter, the Nasdaq Staff states that based on its review of materials submitted by the Company, the Staff has determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April 28, 2008, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel by requesting a hearing by April 24, 2008. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends to request such a hearing from the Panel.
