Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2018, IQVIA Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Underwriter”) and certain selling stockholders named therein (the “Selling Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Underwriter at a price of $103.00 per share. Also pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company purchased from the Underwriter 4,000,000 shares of the Common Stock that were sold by certain Selling Stockholders in the offering, at a per share purchase price equal to the per share purchase price paid by the Underwriter to the Selling Stockholders, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $412 million (the “Repurchase”).    The Repurchase was funded with cash on hand and borrowings from the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-218209), including a final prospectus supplement dated June 12, 2018 to the prospectus contained therein dated May 24, 2017, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The sale of the Common Stock closed on June 15, 2018.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
