SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective January 24, 2017, we have appointed Mr. James Lang as a member of our Board of Directors.

Mr. Lang brings us more than 25 years of experience in healthcare data, analytic, and technology enabled business services. Mr. Lang presently serves as an executive advisor to Water Street, a strategic private equity firm focused exclusively on building market-leading companies in healthcare. He is also a director of BioVie, a development-stage company pioneering an innovative therapeutic that targets complications due to liver cirrhosis.

Mr. Lang previously served as CEO of Decision Resources Group, a leading healthcare research and consulting company providing high-value healthcare industry analysis and insights, where he helped transform the company into an industry leader. Earlier, he was president of Strategic Decisions Group, a premier global strategy consultancy, and he expanded the life sciences practice and later sold it to IMS Health. He is an active private investor and advisor with healthcare companies, including Boston Heart Diagnostics (acquired by Eurofins) and AlphalmpactRx (acquired by IMS Health).

There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lang and any other persons pursuant to which such Mr. Lang was selected as a member of our Board of Directors.

As a non-employee director, Mr. Lang will be entitled to participate in our Director Compensation Plan.

We issued a press release on January 30, 2017 announcing the appointment of Mr. Lang to our Board of Directors. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
