(the “Company” or “Accretive Health”) announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Joseph Flanagan, currently President and Chief Operating Officer of Accretive Health, as President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board, effective May 26, 2016.

Dr. Rizk will be available over the next several weeks to help ensure a smooth transition. The press release announcing the appointment is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Mr. Flanagan, 45, joined Accretive as Chief Operating Officer in April 2013 and was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer in April 2016. Prior to that, Mr. Flanagan served as Senior Vice President of worldwide operations and supply chain at Applied Materials, Inc., and as President of Nortel Business Services for Nortel Networks. Previously, Mr. Flanagan served most of his career working for General Electric (GE), holding leadership positions in many divisions.
No new or amended compensation arrangements were entered into in connection with Mr. Flanagan’s appointment. For existing compensation information regarding Mr. Flanagan, see the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Amended 10-K”), filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 29, 2016, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 25, 2016, the Company entered into a General Release and Mutual Non-Disparagement Agreement with Mr. Rizk pursuant to which he will receive the payments and benefits that are generally consistent with those described in the agreements previously entered into by Mr. Rizk and the Company for a no-cause termination, which are described in detail in the Company's Amended 10-K and its other reports filed with the SEC, other than the restricted stock awards he would have been entitled to under that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated December 31, 2015, which Mr. Rizk has agreed to forfeit. The General Release Agreement also includes a general release of all legal claims and mutual nondisparagement provisions.
