NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Gillings agree that the Amended Employment Agreement shall be further amended as follows: 
 1. COMPENSATION. Section 3, COMPENSATION, of the Amended Employment Agreement is amended as follows: 
  

	 	a.	Section 3(ii) is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of that Section immediately prior to the semicolon: 

“Any bonus paid to Gillings shall be distributed pursuant to policies as determined by the Company, but in no event later than
March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such bonus was earned.” 
  

	 	b.	Section 3 (iv) is amended by adding the following language before the semicolon: 

 “; provided that if such dues are paid by reimbursements from the Company to Gillings,
all such reimbursements shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.” 
  

	 	c.	Section 3 (v) is amended by adding the following language before the semicolon: 

“;provided that if this automobile benefit is provided by reimbursements from the Company to Gillings, all such reimbursements shall
be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.” 
  

	 	d.	Section 3 (vi) is amended by adding the following language before the semicolon: 

“; provided that all reimbursements for all such expenses shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.” 
  

	 	e.	Section 3 (vii) is amended by adding the following language before the semicolon: 

“; provided that if this benefit is provided by reimbursements from the Company to Gillings, all such reimbursements shall be made
no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred.” 
  

	 	f.	Section 3 (viii) is amended by adding the following language at the end thereof : 

“All reimbursements for such expenses shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the expenses were incurred.” 
  

	 	g.	Section 3 (x) is amended by deleting it and replacing it with the following: 

“Reimbursement for the additional costs to Gillings, including any additional tax costs associated with such reimbursements, of
obtaining health coverage (including without limitation, hospitalization coverage (including major medical) and other health benefits) (“Health Coverage”) following any termination of Gillings’ employment pursuant to Section 4,
except termination by the Company pursuant to Section 4(c) (“Cause”), for Gillings and his spouse for his lifetime, and upon his death, for his surviving spouse until her death, in each case such coverage shall be equivalent to that
provided by the Company or its subsidiaries to their senior executives. During the applicable COBRA continuation period (“COBRA Benefit Continuation Period”), the Company shall reimburse Gillings or, as applicable, his surviving spouse,
for the additional costs of continuing group Health Coverage for the COBRA Benefit Continuation Period. Following the expiration of the COBRA Benefit Continuation Period and continuing for the duration of the period covered by this
Section 3(x), Gillings shall also be entitled 

  
 2 

 
to be reimbursed for the additional reasonable costs of obtaining equivalent Health Coverage under the Company’s Group Health Plan for Gillings and his spouse through an insurance policy or
policies he and/or she purchases on his or her own. Any such coverage shall be secondary to any coverage under which Gillings or his spouse become covered and Gillings agrees to make good faith application to obtain such coverage. Gillings shall
bear full responsibility for applying for COBRA coverage and for obtaining coverage under any other insurance policy subject to reimbursement under this Section 3(x), and nothing herein shall constitute a guarantee of COBRA continuation
coverage or benefits or a guarantee of eligibility for health related insurance coverage. Reimbursements under this Section 3(x) shall be made on a monthly basis but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in
which the expenses were incurred. Under no circumstances will Gillings be entitled to a cash payment or other benefit in lieu of reimbursements for the actual costs of premiums for Health Coverage hereunder. The amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement during any calendar year shall not be affected by the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.” 
 2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION. Section 5 shall be amended as follows: 
  

	 	a.	The first paragraph of Section 5(b) shall be amended by deleting that portion of it beginning with the second sentence and replacing it as follows:

 “Such amount shall be paid in equal monthly installments during the three (3) year period following
Gillings’ separation from service, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule in effect at the time of Gillings’ separation from service, commencing on a payroll date occurring not later than ninety (90) days
following Gillings’ separation from service; provided that the first such payment shall be a lump sum in an amount equal to the payments that would have come due since Gillings’ separation from service. Provided further that as soon as
practicable following termination, the Company shall secure such payments through a letter of credit or similar arrangement, or deposit the present value of such payments into an escrow arrangement (such letter of credit, similar arrangement or
escrow arrangement, the “Escrow Arrangement”) reasonably acceptable to Gillings (including, without limitation, protection against other claims from creditors of the Company). In the event Gillings is required to recognize income tax as a
result of the Escrow Arrangement, the Company will release a portion of the severance amounts secured by the Escrow Arrangement sufficient to permit Gillings to pay such taxes, and the severance amounts shall be reduced by the amount so released. In
the event the Company does not release a sufficient portion of the Escrow Arrangement to satisfy Gillings’ income tax liabilities and Gillings is subject to penalties due to such underpayment of these income tax liabilities, the Company shall
reimburse Gillings for any such penalties and any income taxes due as a result of the Company’s payment to Gillings of the penalties within thirty (30) days of Gillings’ incurring such

  
 3 

 
penalties or taxes. In addition to the obligations of the Company under Sections 3(x), 5(a) and this Section 5(b), for the three (3) year period following termination, Gillings shall be
entitled to: (i) payment of an amount equivalent to the monthly automobile allowance in the same amount as Gillings received at the time of termination, such amount being payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule in
existence at the time of Gillings’ separation from service, commencing on a payroll date occurring not later than ninety (90) days following Gillings’ separation from service; provided that the first such payment shall be in a lump
sum in an amount equal to the payments that would have come due since Gillings’ separation from service; and (ii) reimbursement for his expenses, including any additional tax costs associated with such reimbursements, for the following:
(aa) dues for continuing membership in any clubs and for which he was receiving reimbursement at the time of termination of his employment; (bb) for tax return preparation, financial planning and consultation, and legal advice in an amount to cover
the services equivalent to such services to which Gillings was eligible under Section 3(vii) of this Agreement while employed; (cc) the additional costs incurred (above what Gillings paid at the time of the termination of employment) in
obtaining individual long term disability and term life insurance equivalent in coverage to that elected by Gillings at the time of the termination; (dd) the additional costs incurred (above what Gillings paid at the time of the termination of
employment) in obtaining dental insurance equivalent in coverage to that elected by Gillings at the time of the termination; and (ee) the additional costs incurred (above what Gillings paid at the time of the termination of employment) in replacing
any other perquisites and similar benefits Gillings was receiving immediately prior to his separation from service. Provided that all such reimbursements shall commence not later than ninety (90) days following Gillings’ separation from
service and that the first such payment shall be in a lump sum in an amount equal to the payments that would have come due since Gillings’ separation from service. Gillings shall bear full responsibility for applying for available coverage
under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “COBRA”) and/or for obtaining coverage under any insurance policy subject to reimbursement under this Section 5(b) and nothing herein shall constitute a
guarantee of COBRA continuation coverage or benefits or a guarantee of eligibility for any type of insurance coverage. Reimbursements under this Section 5(b) shall be made on a monthly basis but in no event later than the last day of the
calendar year following the year in which the expenses were incurred. Under no circumstances will Gillings be entitled to a cash payment or other benefit in lieu of reimbursements for the actual costs covered under this Section 5(b). The amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not be affected by the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. The compensation and benefits provided to Gillings following termination of
employment under this Section 5(b) are hereinafter referred to as “Severance Benefits.” Nothing contained herein, however, shall require that Gillings be treated as an active participant in any plan provided only to active employees
of the Company.” 

  
 4 

	 	b.	The second paragraph of Section 5(b) shall be amended by deleting the last sentence and replacing it as follows: 

“The Company’s obligation to provide the Severance Benefits is conditioned upon Gillings’ execution of a customary release
of all claims arising out of Gillings’ employment against the Company and its affiliates and the expiration of any revocation period required by law relating thereto without revocation thereof. The release of claims shall be provided to
Gillings within thirty (30) days of his separation from service and Gillings must execute it within the time period specified in the release (which shall not be longer than forty five (45) days from the date of receipt). Such release shall
not be effective until any applicable revocation period has expired.” 
  

	 	c.	Section 5(c) shall be amended by deleting it and replacing it as follows: 

 “The foregoing Severance Benefits are not intended to be a substitute for any available coverage under COBRA for which Gillings may be eligible and such COBRA rights shall commence upon termination
of employment, unless otherwise provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gillings’ rights to the foregoing benefits shall terminate as to any benefit for which he becomes covered for substantially similar benefits on substantially
similar terms through a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (such as through coverage obtained by Gillings’ spouse) for as long as such coverage continues and provided that such terms are not less favorable to Gillings in any
respect.” 
 3. NONCOMPETITION; CONFIDENTIALITY. Section 6 of the Amended Employment Agreement shall be amended
by the addition of the following at the end of Section 6(g): 
 “Any amounts due Gillings under this Section 6(g)
shall be payable monthly in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule in effect at the time of Gillings’ separation from service and shall commence in the month immediately following, as applicable, either: (i) the month
during which Gillings’ employment was terminated for reasons that did not render him eligible for Severance Benefits under Section 5(b) of this Amended Employment Agreement, or (ii) the month during which the Company provided the last
payment due Gillings under Section 5(b) of this Amended Employment Agreement, or would have provided such payment except for any failure of Gillings to execute the release required as a condition of such benefits under Section 5(b).”

  
 5 

 4. COUNSEL FEES. Section 9 is amended by adding the following language at the
end: 
 “Provided that all such reimbursements shall be provided not later than the end of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the expenses or costs were incurred.” 
 5. ADDITIONAL AMOUNT. Section 10 of the Amended
Employment Agreement shall be amended by the addition of the following at the end of Section 10(c): 
 “In no event
shall the payment of any reimbursement required by this Section 10 be made later than the last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the tax expense was remitted by Gillings to the Internal Revenue Service or any
other applicable taxing authority.” 
 6. MISCELLANEOUS. Section 13 of the Amended Employment Agreement shall
be amended by the addition of a new Section 13(h) as follows: 
 “(h) The Company may withhold from any amounts
payable under this Amended Employment Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.” 
 7. SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. The following provisions shall be added to the end of the Amended Employment Agreement as Section 14: 

“14 SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 

(a) Parties’ Intent. The parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement comply with the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties
under Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Gillings to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, the Company shall, upon
the specific request of Gillings, use its reasonable business efforts to in good faith reform such provision to comply with Code Section 409A; provided, that to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to
Gillings and the Company of the applicable provision shall be maintained, and the Company shall have no obligation to make any changes that could create any additional economic cost or loss of benefit to the Company. The Company shall timely use its
reasonable business efforts to amend any plan or program in which Gillings participates to bring it in compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability with regard to any failure to comply with
Section 409A so long as it has acted in good faith with regard to compliance therewith. 

  
 6 

 (b) Separation from Service. A termination of employment shall not be deemed
to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination also constitutes a “Separation from Service” within
the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “separation from service” or like terms shall mean Separation from
Service. 
 (c) Separate Payments. Each installment payment required under this Agreement shall be considered a
separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.” 
 8. COUNTERPARTS. This Third Amendment may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures affixed thereto were upon the same instrument. 
 9. DEFINITIONS. All terms used in this Third Amendment shall have the same definitions as used in the Amended Employment Agreement, unless otherwise provided herein. All references to “Amended
Employment Agreement” shall include all modifications made by this Third Amendment, unless provided otherwise. 

  
 7 

 10. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. Except as amended hereby, the Amended Employment Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the Company and Gillings in all respects.

 Exhibit 10.31 
 Execution Copy 
 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 14th day of December, 2009 by and between QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP., a
North Carolina corporation (“Quintiles” or the “Company”), and DENNIS B. GILLINGS, Ph.D. (“Gillings”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company, Gillings, and Pharma Services Holding, Inc. entered into an Executive Employment Agreement dated September 25, 2003 (the “Employment Agreement”), and all

Services Holding, Inc. dated March 31, 2006; 
 WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement was further amended by
Gillings and the Company on February 1, 2008, November 12, 2008, and December 31, 2008 (the Employment Agreement, as so amended, is referred to as the “Amended Employment Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to reorganize into a holding company, whereby each Company shareholder will receive a share of
stock in Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”) for each share of Company stock they hold and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Share Exchange”); 

WHEREAS, upon the effective date of the Share Exchange, Gillings’ shares of Company stock will be exchanged for stock in
Holdings; 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Gillings desire to amend the Amended Employment Agreement to reflect the Share
Exchange and Gillings’ equity interest in Holdings. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Gillings agree that the Amended Employment Agreement shall be further amended as follows: 

1. Section 4(g), Sale of the Company; Qualifying Offering, is deleted in its entirety and the following Section is
inserted in lieu thereof: 
 “(g) Sale of the Company; Qualifying Offering. Upon a “Qualifying
Offering,” as defined in the Shareholders Agreement between the Company and certain shareholders, dated January 22, 2008 (the “Shareholders Agreement”) or upon a sale (whether effected pursuant to Section 2.4 of the
Shareholders Agreement or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, sale of securities, sale of assets or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions to a Person or Persons

 
that is not a Shareholder or a Permitted Transferee or Associate (as such terms are defined in the Shareholders Agreement) of any Shareholder or of any Permitted Transferee of any Shareholder
pursuant to which such Person or Persons (together with its Affiliates) acquires (i) securities representing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the Common Stock of Holdings, assuming the conversion, exchange or
exercise of all securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for or into Common Stock, or (ii) of all, or substantially all of the Company’s assets on a consolidated basis (a “Sale of the Company”) if, at least thirty
(30) days prior to the consummation thereof, Gillings or the Company (at the direction of a majority of the Board) shall have delivered to the other party a written notice that Gillings’ employment shall not be extended beyond the
consummation of such Qualifying Offering or Sale of the Company, as the case may be; or” 
 2. Section 6(a)(y)
is deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in lieu thereof: 
 “(y) three (3) years
following the date Gillings (or any Permitted Transferee thereof (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement)) cease to own any equity interest in Holdings or any of its subsidiaries and”. 

3. For clarification purposes, and the avoidance of doubt, Gillings acknowledges and agrees that the Share Exchange did not
constitute a Sale of the Company or Qualifying Offering under Section 4(g) of the Amended Employment Agreement, as it existed before and/or after this Fourth Amendment becomes effective. 

4. Except as amended hereby, the Amended Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed by the Company and Gillings in all respects. 
 5. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures affixed thereto were upon the same instrument.
