“Voting The White Proxy Card Is In The Best Interest Of The Company And Its Shareholders”

QSI Urges Shareholders to Vote for Board Nominees Ahead of Annual Meeting

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quality Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSII) announced today that Egan-Jones Proxy Services, a leading voting advisory service, has recommended that QSI shareholders vote for all of the Company’s board nominees - Craig Barbarosh, George Bristol, Mark Davis, Russell Pflueger, Steven Plochocki, Sheldon Razin, Lance Rosenzweig and Maureen Spivack - for election at Quality Systems’ annual meeting of shareholders to be held on August 16, 2012.

“We believe that support for voting the management ballot is merited and that voting the management ballot (WHITE PROXY CARD) is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In arriving at that conclusion, we have considered the following factors”

In its report, Egan-Jones noted:

“We believe that support for voting the management ballot is merited and that voting the management ballot (WHITE PROXY CARD) is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In arriving at that conclusion, we have considered the following factors:

1. Our belief that the Company’s strategy has positioned it to capitalize on developing trends in the healthcare industry.

2. Our belief that Mr. [Ahmed] Hussein’s proxy solicitation is an attempt to take over the Company without paying a premium.

3. Our belief that Mr. Hussein has failed to make a persuasive case that electing his nominees to the board would result in the enhancement of shareholder value.

4. We are not convinced that the election of the dissidents’ slate to the board of directors would work to the benefit of all shareholders.”

Steven T. Plochocki, Chief Executive Officer of Quality Systems, said: “We are grateful that Egan-Jones has recognized the quality of our nominees and the value of QSI’s strategy in positioning the Company for future growth and significant opportunities in the industry. While the industry is facing some near-term challenges, we remain confident that the detailed strategy being executed by our highly qualified Board nominees and management team will allow us to continue to create value for all QSI shareholders. We urge shareholders to vote FOR our nominees on the WHITE proxy card today.”
