Quintiles Announces Launch of Secondary Public Offering and Repurchase of Common Stock

Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. (“Quintiles”) (NYSE: Q) announced today the launch of an underwritten, secondary public offering of 13,303,666 shares of its common stock by certain of its existing shareholders, including investment funds associated with Bain Capital Investors, LLC, affiliates of TPG Global, LLC, affiliates of 3i Corporation and Dennis Gillings, CBE, and his affiliates (the “Selling Shareholders”), of which Quintiles intends to repurchase from the underwriter a number of shares having an aggregate value of approximately $250 million. Quintiles is not offering any stock in this transaction and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Shareholders in this offering.

Quintiles’ per-share purchase price for the repurchased shares will be the same as the per-share purchase price payable by the underwriter to the Selling Shareholders. Quintiles expects to fund the share repurchase with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The repurchase is subject to completion of the offering.

Citigroup is acting as the sole underwriter of this offering.

As a result of the underwritten offering, the Selling Shareholders will own less than 50% of the total voting power of Quintiles, and Quintiles will cease to be a controlled company under NYSE rules.

An automatic shelf registration statement (including a prospectus) relating to the offering of common stock was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 4, 2014 and became effective upon filing. Before you invest, you should read the registration statement, prospectus and other documents Quintiles has made available with the SEC for information about Quintiles and the offering.
