ITEM 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.

On February 5, 2008, QuadraMed Corporation (the “Company”) commenced a strategic initiative to increase the Company’s overall product development capacity and to further accelerate delivery of its product strategy to the healthcare market. Under this initiative, the Company will re-allocate its financial and personnel resources in the area of product development and partner with Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global IT services and consulting firm based in India, to supplement the Company’s resources in the areas of Quality Assurance, Technical Publications and Software Programming.

In connection with this initiative, the Company has undertaken a reduction in force of sixty-eight positions to be effective immediately. The affected employees are in various technical, administrative and other non-technical areas that are now considered “non-core.” Concurrently, the Company has created new positions to execute its product plan and currently has twenty open positions in technical and related areas. As a result of the foregoing, the Company will employ 647 full-time employees, including the current open positions.

The Company will provide benefits for departing employees through the end of the month and has offered severance payments along with a commitment to pay 2007 bonuses, in accordance with its 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan, to the relevant affected employees when bonuses under such plan are paid out by the Company in March 2008.

The Company expects to report a one-time severance cost in the first quarter of 2008 of approximately $0.9 million. No other types of costs are expected in connection with this reduction in force.

The Company released a press release on February 5, 2008, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2.05.

 

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On February 5, 2008, Julian A. L. Allen was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. At this time, the Company anticipates that Mr. Allen will be appointed to the Compensation Committee and Audit Committee of the Board.
