Exploration of Strategic Options
QuadraMed Corporation
RESTON, VA – (July 27, 2005) –QuadraMed® Corporation (Amex: QD) today announced that in early 2005 the Company was approached by an HIS company which expressed an interest in a possible business combination with QuadraMed. In response to this unsolicited proposal, the Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of independent directors to evaluate this proposal and other alternatives.
The Committee retained an internationally recognized investment banking firm to assist it with this determination. In connection therewith, the Company entered into confidential preliminary merger discussions with a number of other entities that had expressed interest in such a possible business combination, and several of those entities submitted proposals to acquire the Company. After careful consideration, the Special Committee and the Board of Directors have concluded that, at the present time, it is not in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders to further pursue any of these proposals.
Certain expenses incurred as a result of these activities will be included in the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
