MEDIA  STATEMENT  
IMS  Health  issued  the  following  statement  regarding  its  pending  acquisition  of  SDI.  
 
IMS  Health  announced  today  that  it  has  signed  a  definitive  agreement  to  acquire  
SDI,  a  privately  held  healthcare  market  insights  and  analytics  firm  serving  the  U.S.  
market.    Terms  of  the  transaction  were  not  disclosed.    The  agreement  is  subject  to  
pre-­merger  notification  requirements  of  the  Hart-­Scott-­Rodino  Antitrust  
Improvements  Act  of  1976,  which  will  be  filed  shortly.      
 
The  acquisition  will  enable  more  robust  patient  and  specialty  analytics,  and  will  give  
IMS  the  ability  to  provide  a  broader  set  of  stakeholders  with  clinically-­rich  insights  
from  all  healthcare  channels,  including  hospitals,  providers  and  pharmacies.  The  
addition  of  SDI¶s  complementary  information  assets  and  capabilities  positions  IMS  
to  improve  existing  offerings,  fuel  new  investments  and  deliver  greater  innovation  
and  value  to  a  healthcare  industry  that  is  seeking  to  drive  increased  efficiencies  as  
a  result  of  significant,  ongoing  pressure  to  reduce  costs  and  expand  patient  access.
