The nominees for directors will be Geoffrey Meyers, Frank Collins, W. Robert Dahl, Marjorie Dorr, Thomas Gerrity, Thomas Mac Mahon, Robert Oakley, and Gregory Weishar. Daniel Mendelson, CEO of Avalere Health, will not seek re-election to our board of directors, where he has served since PharMerica’s inception. Mr. Mendelson was unable to serve due to increased time commitments resulting from recent growth of Avalere Health, a prominent strategic advisory company that provides guidance and syndicated research for clients in the healthcare industry, government and not-for-profit sectors.

Commenting on Mr. Mendelson’s service, the Company’s Chairman, Geoffrey Meyers said, "Dan Mendelson has provided the Company with insightful guidance in the healthcare arena. His expertise will be missed.”
