On March 9, 2006, the Board of Directors of QuadraMed Corporation (the “Company”) adopted an updated and amended Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers (“Code of Ethics”) as part of its routine review and update of the Company’s corporate governance documents. The Code of Ethics now includes provisions explicitly prohibiting (i) a knowing misrepresentation of facts and (ii) retaliation against an individual for reporting violations of the Code of Ethics.
