On June 29, 2016, Accretive Health, Inc. (“Accretive Health” or the “Company”) announced to certain employees that its board of directors has approved, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, a stock option exchange program for employees (the “Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program”). In connection with the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program, the Company is herewith filing a slide presentation dated June 29, 2016, used by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Flanagan, in conjunction with a conference call with such employees outlining the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program.

The communication attached as an exhibit to this Schedule TO does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program will only be consummated, if commenced at all, if the Company’s stockholders approve the Proposed Stock Option Exchange Program.

The Stock Option Exchange Program has not yet commenced. The Company will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) upon the commencement of the Stock Option Exchange Program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Exchange Program should read the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other related materials when those materials become available, because they will contain important information about the Stock Option Exchange Program.

In connection with the proposal to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders to approve the Stock Option Exchange Program, the Company intends to file a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC and intends to file other relevant materials with the SEC, including a definitive proxy statement. The Company’s stockholders are urged to read such materials as and when they become available and before making any voting decision regarding the Stock Option Exchange Program, because they will contain important information about the proposal to be voted on by stockholders with respect to the Stock Option Exchange Program.

The Company’s stockholders and option holders will be able to obtain the written materials described above and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, stockholders and option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by the Company with the SEC by directing a written request to: Accretive Health, Inc., Attention: Office of Investor Relations, 401 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 2700, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
