On January 5, 2010, QuadraMed Corporation (the Company) announced Thomas J. Dunns appointment as the Companys Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, effective January 5, 2010.
Mr. Dunn (49) joins the Company from CareMedic Corporation, where he was vice president and executive team member from 2007 to 2009. From 2004 to 2007, he served as senior vice president at Eclipsys Corporation, where he directed domestic and international sales and account management.

Mr. Dunn holds a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and business administration from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Penn.
In connection with Mr. Dunns appointment, Steven V. Russells service to the Company will terminate on January 29, 2010.
