The following is a transcript of remarks made by Mark Thierer, Chairman and CEO of SXC Health Solutions Corp., at an all-hands employee meeting held on April 18, 2012.

Good Morning SXC!!!

I am very excited to speak with you this morning and share some very exciting news! Hopefully you have all seen the announcement I sent out this morning, announcing our merger with CatalystRx. As I stated in my earlier memo to you, this transaction is the single most transformational event in the history of SXC!

This is a strategically and financially compelling combination; as two fast-growing and highly complementary middle-market PBMs, we will create a leading provider of PBM services and technology solutions. Never at any other time has the time been so right for taking SXC to the next level. Our industry is in the midst of massive opportunities for change. As we have heard consistently from prospects and consultants, payers are hungry for a transformational alternative. Our pipeline is already quite robust for 2013 business. As we meet with prospects and consultants we will now have an even more compelling story!

The combination of SXC and Catalyst is a hand-in-glove fit. SXC is the clear leader in our industry when it comes to systems, technology, scale, operations and flexibility and we have done a tremendous job building a world class PBM. Catalyst has a proven customer service model, and a go-to-market strategy that has been time-tested and very successful.

Many of you know that Catalyst has been a long term HCIT client of SXC’s. As SXC has grown, so has Catalyst. As a result of our relationship, we have prospered together. We know them well and respect their capabilities. We expect that our long-standing


relationship combined with the strength of our offerings, will lead to a successful integration and many new opportunities for growth.

Why is this such a transformational deal for us?

 

   

First, our combined companies will represent approximately $13 billion in annual revenue. SXC finished 2011 at $5 billion and has confirmed guidance of $6.8 to $6.9 billion for 2012. Catalyst’s 2012 guidance is $5.8 to $6.2 billion. Combined we will be approximately 3,500 employees, nearly doubling our current employee count.

 

   

Both companies are very successful and highly complementary. SXC’s flexible and scalable technology solutions combined with Catalyst’s client-centered philosophy to pharmacy benefits management will provide a unique offering to the marketplace.

 

   

When it comes to being competitive, scale is important. Together we will be better able to leverage our greater scale and our models ensuring we can deliver great savings and service to our clients. Bottom line, we will be much more competitive.

 

   

We will be able to offer a best-in-class suite of services and solutions to a diversified client base. SXC has experienced great success in the health plan market. Catalyst has been very successful in the middle employer market. Plus Catalyst has done a nice job selling and servicing State plans on the funded side, whereas SXC has established a very strong FFS Medicaid footprint. Together, we are well-positioned to help States contain healthcare costs.


   

Next, a greater number of lives gives us the ability to capitalize on the growing use of generics and improves our position with pharma on obtaining limited distribution drugs.

 

   

Our offerings in mail order, specialty pharmacy, clinical services and analytics will be strengthened.

 

   

Finally, the combined business will have a strong balance sheet. Shareholders will benefit from earnings accretion and strong free cash flow.

In terms of the financials, this is a $4.4 Billion transaction, financed with 65% SXC stock and 35% cash.

We expect to achieve substantial synergies as a result of this combination, by delivering greater scale and leveraging our operating models. At this time, we have not begun integration planning so I don’t have specifics to share with you. As we move forward, you can expect to receive updates on our progress.

We will be integrating our operations, as well as our services and programs and expect to be complete within 18 to 24 months. While legacy Catalyst clients operate on the SXC platform avoiding the need for a systems conversion, there are several recent acquisitions of Catalyst’s that will potentially need to be converted to the SXC platform. In addition, we will need to evaluate organizational structure, talent, locations, programs and services, to determine where and how we best consolidate to leverage the entire new organization. What we do know is that the corporate headquarters will remain in Lisle and that I will continue to serve as Chairman and CEO of the combined companies.


In addition, Jeff Park will continue to serve as CFO for the combined companies. Two of Catalyst’s board members will be joining the SXC board of directors.

For those of you who are not aware of the status of our last acquisition, HealthTrans, we expect to be completed well in advance of the closing of Catalyst. There have been many people who have worked long and hard around integration of acquisitions. I would like to thank all of you who have made us successful in these endeavors. While our experience will certainly help us to make informed decisions with regard to integration, I also recognize that many of us will need to continue the heavy lifting to ensure we are successful with the Catalyst integration.

We expect to close on the acquisition mid to late summer, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. You can expect regular status updates on mySXC and through your manager. In the meantime, I ask that you continue to do what has led us to the incredible success we’ve experienced — provide great service, both internally and externally — take care of clients and members — let’s stay focused on our “Clients for Life” strategy and deliver outstanding service across the board. Let me stress that there will be no changes until after the close, and our decision-making around integration will be designed to ensure the least amount of disruption to achieve the best possible outcome for all stakeholders.

Without a doubt, this merger puts our combined companies in an amazing place at one of the most opportune times in our industry! This event offers opportunities to all stakeholders — and that includes all of you. You can expect opportunities for new jobs, new projects and new learning. As we continue to grow our clients need and deserve best-in-class services, As far as new business


opportunities, our prospects will have an opportunity to select a competitive alternative to the Big 2. Brokers and consultants will now have additional resources that can deliver tremendous value to their clients and shareholders as they receive accretive and long term value.

You will be hearing from your SVP later today, with additional information. Again, please focus on taking care of clients and members; it is business as usual as we move forward, until we close later in the year. Thank you for your attention, thank you for all you do to make SXC a market leader.
