Acquisition by Francisco Partners

RESTON, Va. – March 9, 2010 – QuadraMed® Corporation (NASDAQ:QDHC), a leading provider of healthcare information technologies and services that help turn quality care into positive financial outcomes, today announced stockholder approval of QuadraMed’s acquisition by Francisco Partners, one of the world’s largest technology-focused private equity firms.

At the March 9, 2010 special meeting QuadraMed’s stockholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 7, 2009, by and among QuadraMed and acquisition entities formed by Francisco Partners. QuadraMed previously announced its entry into this Agreement on December 8, 2009. The all-cash transaction for all of QuadraMed’s stock is valued at approximately $126 million.

With this approval, Francisco Partners will acquire QuadraMed via its acquisition entities with QuadraMed remaining as a wholly owned subsidiary of Francisco Partners. The acquisition is expected to close next week, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions of the parties pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

“We are pleased that QuadraMed’s shareholders have approved the pending acquisition,” said Duncan W. James, QuadraMed’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Francisco Partners brings QuadraMed extensive resources and a proven track record of helping hospitals and health systems execute on their strategic and operational goals. We look forward to working with Francisco Partners on our priorities, which include helping our clients meet their ARRA Meaningful Use goals, preparing for ICD-10, and leveraging improvements in care quality to improve their bottom line.”

In connection with the merger, QuadraMed has submitted a request to the NASDAQ Global Market for withdrawal of the listing of its common stock. QuadraMed’s proposed delisting is contingent, among other conditions, on the closing of the merger. To effect the delisting, NASDAQ will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
