Heritage Labs and Services Business Units Sold to CRL for $3.5 million

Hooper Holmes Joins CRL's Preferred Provider Network for Wellness Programs

Strategic Alliance Launches as CRL Provides Laboratory Testing Services

Hooper Holmes (NYSE MKT:HH) today announced the closing of the transaction, under which Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc., ("CRL") has acquired certain assets comprising the businesses of Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services for $3.5 million, after certain inventory-related price adjustments.

CRL is now Hooper Holmes' exclusive provider of laboratory testing services, and Hooper has become a member of CRL’s preferred provider network for wellness programs. The strategic alliance between the two companies was announced on April 16, 2014.

Commenting on the sale of the Company's remaining life insurance services operations to CRL, Henry E. Dubois, President and CEO of Hooper Holmes, stated: "This begins an exciting new chapter for Hooper as a stand-alone Health & Wellness company. This is an important milestone in executing our long-term strategy to accelerate growth within the health and wellness market."

Mr. Dubois continued, "Our strategic alliance with CRL enables us to focus on serving customers, while operating more efficiently based on customer needs. With access to CRL's wide range of testing capabilities, we can now offer customers flexibility in acquiring more data about participant populations. It also allows us to increase focus on Health & Wellness innovation, and to develop more efficient, affordable, best-in-class biometric screening solutions.”

In connection with the closing, the two parties agreed that certain Heritage Labs assets would be transferred to CRL following a brief period, in order to facilitate an orderly transition of testing services. As such, $250,000 of the $3.5 million purchase price will be placed in escrow, to be released to Hooper Holmes at the time of the transfer, which is expected to occur on or before October 31, 2014.
