TriZetto is distinctly focused on helping healthcare payers lead the industry's transformation by providing information technology solutions that enhance revenue growth, drive administrative efficiency and improve the cost and quality of care for their members. We offer a broad portfolio of proprietary information technology products and services targeted to the payer industry, which is comprised of health insurance plans and third-party benefits administrators. These include:

• Enterprise administration software facilitates core payer operations such as benefit plan design, enrollment, claims processing, billing and payment. Significant administration software products include Facets®, QNXT™, QicLink™ and Facts™, each of which is targeted to different types of customer needs. In addition, TriZetto offers a number of add-on and standalone components to these software systems such as Facets™ Workflow, Facets™ eXtended Integration, QicLink™ Autodental and Web Solutions Suite. These component products provide additional functionality or throughput to TriZetto's core software products as well as third-party enterprise administration systems.
• Cost and quality of care software helps payers extend health and productivity management to more of their membership and reduce the costs of care. Significant care management software products include TriZetto CareAdvance Enterprise®, which gives payers tools to address the full spectrum of care management for all members, including case, disease, population and utilization management - controlling usage-related costs; and TriZetto NetworX Suite™, which gives payers tools to better manage provider networks and complex tiered contracts - enhancing the unit costs of care for members.
• Revenue enhancement software and services help payers capture wasted or misdirected funds, especially for government-funded claims. These assist Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D plans in optimizing revenue, reducing administration costs and improving compliance, as well as providing fraud, waste and abuse detection and prevention.
• Software hosting services and select business process outsourcing services can reduce customers' information technology fixed costs and risks and help accelerate speed-to-market for new insurance product offerings and services.
• Strategic, installation and optimization consulting services assure realization of the full benefits of our software, accelerate implementation times and reduce systems architecture risks.

In the U.S. healthcare system, payers effectively balance the demands of all the different constituents in the healthcare system including employers, providers, consumers and brokers. As a result, payers are the central aggregation point for data from across the systems, and payers are information-intensive businesses. New government regulations, shifting market trends and competition constantly pressure these payers to improve and change their product offerings, business policies and processes. To enable these changes, payers must regularly upgrade their information technology systems. Many payers, especially the largest, have traditionally developed their own information systems in-house. But, increasingly in recent years, payers have used commercial systems to reduce information technology and business costs and accelerate their time-to-market for new products, enhanced efficiency and competitive advantage.

TriZetto has three unique assets, which drive its value for customers and provide sustainable competitive advantage:

• TriZetto has one of the largest groups of systems experts in the payer industry. This expertise spans hundreds of different payers and systems. This depth of experience provides a unique foundation for understanding customer needs and developing solutions ahead of the market.
• Leveraging our unique expertise, TriZetto has built one of the largest sets of integrated software available to the payer market. For customers, this means one-stop shopping and the opportunity for substantially reduced systems integration cost and risk.
• TriZetto technology touches more than 146 million lives, which is over half the insured population of the United States. We provide products and services to 351 unique customers, including those of our recent acquisitions, in the health plan and benefits administrator markets. This large number of payers and members on common technology platforms provides a unique distribution channel into the payer market, through which additional products and services can be delivered. In the longer term, our broad footprint provides opportunities to accelerate the development and adoption of new information technology solutions, such as the next generation of cost and quality of care solutions, real-time claims adjudication and payment, and pay for performance.

The TriZetto Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in May 1997 with the merger of two organizations: System One, a provider of online electronic-funds transfer technology, and Margolis Health Enterprises, a provider of technology consulting to healthcare organizations. The combination created a company dedicated to healthcare information technology products and services. Initially, we focused upon providing hosted software services addressed primarily to the provider market. From 1998 to 2003, we increased our focus on the payer industry. In 2003, we initiated a strategic plan to concentrate exclusively on the payer market and to wind-down our provider business. We completed this plan in 2005 and no longer provide services to the provider market.

TriZetto completed its initial public offering in October 1999 and, since that time, have acquired 10 companies: Novalis Corporation, Finserv Health Care Systems, Inc., Healthcare Media Enterprises, Inc., Erisco Managed Care Technologies, Inc. ("Erisco"), Resource Information Management Systems, Inc. ("RIMS"), Infotrust Company, Diogenes, Inc., CareKey, Inc. ("CareKey"), Plan Data Management, Inc. ("PDM"), and Quality Care Solutions, Inc. ("QCSI").

Of the 10 acquisitions, the Erisco and RIMS acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2000, the CareKey acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2005, and the QCSI acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2007 were our most significant. Erisco's main product, Facets® and QCSI's main product, QNXT™, are the leading administrative systems for managed health plans in the country. QicLink™, developed by RIMS, is the leading automated claims-processing system for benefits administrators. Our CareAdvance™ products, acquired from CareKey, are considered among the leading solutions for care management. With these acquisitions and organic growth, TriZetto built a customer base with more than 146 million enrollees (59% of the U.S. insured population) and attained a leadership position in two market segments of the payer industry, health plans and benefits administrators.

TriZetto agreed to be taken private by Apax Partners in April 2007. Apax Partners is a growth-focused, global private equity firm with $35 billion in funds under advice and significant expertise in healthcare and technology. Valued at approximately $1.4 billion, the transaction is funded in part by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and The Regence Group, both customers of TriZetto.

In announcing the transaction, TriZetto Chairman and CEO Jeff Margolis commented: "The achievement of TriZetto's Integrated Healthcare Management vision is a multiyear journey that will require both conventional and non-conventional business investment within an integrated framework. Apax Partners, which shares our strategic view of the marketplace, provides an outstanding opportunity to accelerate solutions development investments on behalf of our payer customers to create an integrated linkage among consumers, providers, employers and brokers."
