I would like to share with you my excitement about the planned merger between Quintiles and IMS Health and tell you about the opportunities and developments this planned merger will bring on a business level but also to our employees.

 

This transformative merger is the joining of two strong companies to build sustainable differentiation in the clinical development market. This is a continuation of our strategy to bring growth and innovative solutions, using data and technology combined with our therapeutic and scientific expertise, to lead fundamental shifts in the healthcare industry.

 

We believe we will grow faster than each of us could have independently. Our employees are focused on growth, and help position our new company for a stronger future to bring innovative medicine to our patients through our integration of our capabilities and offerings.

 

By combining our workforce, our 50,000 talented employees across the globe share one common goal, to make an impactful difference in patient health. Each employee plays a critical role in this great purpose that brings us together.

 

Because together we become stronger and because we care about our employees, we will be able to offer an array of benefits and the flexibility and innovative tools needed for you to excel in your career. Our combined strength of training curriculums and award-winning leadership skill programs are designed to help you develop your career.

 

We believe this merger will create new career development and growth opportunities for our employees. Through this merger, a whole new field of career avenues will be available to you to strive for and to explore and we will do our best to facilitate your growth.

 

And, we are continuing to hire. For example, we have an ongoing need for Clinical Research Associates.

 

I understand that employees are motivated by different things, but what can be


  

more rewarding than being part of something bigger than yourself? Being part of a company whose focus is to make a difference in the world and help sick people? Join us in our new exciting journey and be THAT person who brings hope to our patients.

 

This is a very exciting time at Quintiles! We ask our employees to share our excitement and invite others to join us. There is no limit to what we can achieve together!

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the potential timing or consummation of the proposed transaction or the anticipated benefits thereof, including, without limitation, future financial and operating results. IMS Health and Quintiles caution readers that these and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to risks and uncertainties related to (i) the ability to obtain shareholder and regulatory approvals, or the possibility that they may delay the transaction or that such regulatory approval may result in the imposition of conditions that could cause the parties to abandon the transaction, (ii) the risk that a condition to closing of the merger may not be satisfied; (iii) the ability of IMS Health and Quintiles to integrate their businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated cost savings and other synergies, (iv) the possibility that


other anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction will not be realized, including without limitation, anticipated revenues, expenses, earnings and other financial results, and growth and expansion of the new combined company’s operations, and the anticipated tax treatment, (v) current or potential future litigation relating to the proposed transaction that has been or could be instituted against IMS Health, Quintiles or their respective directors, (vi) possible disruptions from the proposed transaction that could harm IMS Health’s or Quintiles’ business, including current plans and operations, (vii) the ability of IMS Health or Quintiles to retain, attract and hire key personnel, (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to relationships with clients, employees, suppliers or other parties resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger, (ix) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect IMS Health’s and/or Quintiles’ financial performance, (x) certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact IMS Health’s or Quintiles’ ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions, (xi) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions, (xii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments and (xiii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the registration statement on Form S-4 are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on IMS Health’s or Quintiles’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity.
