Item 8.01    Other Events.

On February 20, 2015, Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the Company has set June 5, 2015 as the date for the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at a time and location to be determined and specified in the Company’s proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of last year’s annual meeting of shareholders (which took place by written consent in lieu of such annual meeting prior to the Company’s initial public offering), pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules, including Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set the deadline for submission of proposals to be included in its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting as the close of business on March 6, 2015. Therefore, in order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by the Company at its principal executive office (Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc., Attention: General Counsel, 4100 S. Saginaw Street, Flint, MI 48507) by the close of business on March 6, 2015 and must comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

In accordance with the advance notice requirements contained in the Company’s amended and restated bylaws applicable for an annual meeting of shareholders that is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting, for director nominations or other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting by a shareholder, other than Rule 14a-8 proposals described above, written notice must be delivered to the Company’s principal executive office (Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc., Attention: General Counsel, 4100 S. Saginaw Street, Flint, MI 48507) by the close of business on March 6, 2015. These shareholder notices also must comply with all additional procedures and requirements of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws and will not be effective otherwise.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
