The present name of the corporation is Change Healthcare Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Corporation was incorporated by the filing of its original certificate of incorporation (as amended, the “Original Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 1, 2017. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), which amends, restates and integrates the provisions of the Original Certificate of Incorporation, was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and by the written consent of the stockholders in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended, restated and integrated to read in its entirety as follows:

The name of the Corporation is Change Healthcare Inc.

ARTICLE III

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL STOCK

The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is [            ], which shall be divided into three classes as follows: (i) [                ] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”); (ii) one (1) share of Class X stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class X Stock”); and (iii) [            ]

 


shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock or any other series or class of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto) (provided that any increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of Class X Stock shall require the approval of MCK), and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor, unless otherwise required by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock).

Upon this Restated Certificate of Incorporation becoming effective pursuant to the DGCL (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time will be reclassified into [            ] issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders of such Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reclassification of shares of Common Stock provided herein. In lieu of fractional shares, holders of such Common Stock will receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of such fractional shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. From and after the Effective Time, stock certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be deemed to represent the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock shall have been reclassified pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation until such certificates shall be surrendered to the Corporation for transfer or exchange.

C. Allocation of Corporate Opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Article IX, the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Associated Director (including any Associated Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (B) of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

D. Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted, to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
