PORTLAND, Ore. -- July 20, 2012

Wellpartner, a nationally recognized provider of pharmacy distribution and
contract pharmacy services, today announced the addition of Anthony Zappa,
PharmD, and Michael Majerik to its senior staff. As the new Vice President of
Contract Pharmacy Services Operations, Dr. Zappa will oversee all aspects of
contract pharmacy program implementation and service delivery to Wellpartner’s
growing roster of safety net hospital clients. Mr. Majerik joins Wellpartner
as Vice President of Sales & Marketing and will lead the company’s sales
growth and expansion into new markets.

Prior to joining Wellpartner, Dr. Zappa served in an operational executive
capacity at Fairview Pharmacy Services, BioScrip, Diversified Pharmaceutical
Services and SmthKlineBeecham. In addition, he was a founder of Interpharm,
the first PBM in South Africa. Dr. Zappa’s clinical experience includes
several years of hospital and retail pharmacy practice.

Michael Majerik provides Wellpartner with more than twenty years of healthcare
sales, marketing, business development and operations experience. Over his
career, Mr. Majerik served in executive positions at Alere, Magellan Health
Services, and CorSolutions among others. Most recently, he founded a strategic
healthcare consulting group working with start-up organizations on strategic
vision execution and go-to-market strategies.

“Given the prospects for future growth, the time is right to expand our
executive bench and take full advantage of opportunity in all sectors where we
do business,” said Wellpartner President and CEO James R. Love. Those sectors
include Contract Pharmacy Administration, Specialty Pharmacy and Mail Order
services for government, self-insured hospitals and commercial health plans.

Wellpartner’s contract pharmacy services business has grown substantially over
the last twelve months, principally in the area of 340B contract pharmacy
administration. “The number of 340B contract pharmacy customers has more than
doubled since this time last year. Many are looking for services beyond just
pharmacy network administration,” said Love. “Our new senior staff has the
skill and breadth of experience to integrate all of our offerings for the
benefit of our growing customer base.”

Zappa and Majerik join an already strong executive team at Wellpartner which
includes Robert Judge, co-founder and vice president strategy and corporate
development, Larry D. Cartier, R.Ph, vice president pharmacy and Daniel
Sawyer, vice president product development.
