 Exhibit 10.38 
 QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL HOLDINGS INC. 
 2008 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

AWARD AGREEMENT 

(Awarding Nonqualified Stock Option) 
 THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”), and Thomas Pike (the
“Optionee”) pursuant to the provisions of the Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Optionee’s Executive Employment Agreement, effective April 30, 2012 (the “Executive
Employment Agreement”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Optionee is providing, or has agreed to provide,
services to the Company, or Affiliate or a Subsidiary of the Company, as an Employee or Director; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company
considers it desirable and in its best interests that the Optionee be given a personal stake in the Company’s growth, development and financial success through the grant of an option to purchase shares of the $.01 par value common stock of the
Company (the “Shares”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth
herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Option. Effective as of May 10, 2012 (the “Date of
Grant”), the Company hereby grants to the Optionee, an option (the “Option”) to purchase one million (1,000,000) Shares at the Option Price per Share of Twenty-Five Dollars and Ninety-Two Cents ($25.92) (the “Option
Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The future value of such Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If such Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value. 

2. Term of Option. Subject to earlier termination under Section 4 hereof, the term of the Option shall be ten (10) years
(the “Term”). 
 3. Vesting Schedule. The Option shall vest and become exercisable as to 20% of the total
number of Shares subject to the Option on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Date of Grant. 
 In no event will any portion of the Option that is not vested and exercisable at the time of the termination of the Optionee’s service relationship become vested and exercisable following such
termination. 

 4. Termination of Option. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Executive
Employment Agreement, the Option shall terminate on the earliest to occur of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	The expiration of the Term of the Option. 

  

	 	(b)	 The 91st day after termination of the Optionee’s service relationship for any reason other than one specified in (c) or (d) below. 

 

	 	(c)	 The 366th day after termination of the Optionee’s service relationship as a result of the Optionee’s death, or a disability, retirement or redundancy that is approved by the Committee for this purpose.

  

	 	(d)	Termination of the Optionee’s employment relationship by the Company for Cause, or of the Optionee’s service relationship by the Company for reasons that
would constitute Cause if the Optionee were an employee. 

 5. Exercise of Option. The vested portion of
the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option and set forth the number of Shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the aggregate Option Price as to all exercised Shares. Payment of such amount shall be by any of the following methods, or
combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal
to the Option Price (provided that except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Shares that are tendered must have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months and a day, or such other period, if any, as the Committee may
permit, prior to their tender if acquired under the Plan or any other compensation plan maintained by the Company or on the open market); (c) if the Shares are Publicly Traded at such time, by a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise; or
(d) any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Option Price.

 In connection with such exercise, the Company shall have the right to require that the Optionee make such provision, or
furnish the Company such authorization, as may be necessary or desirable so that the Company may satisfy its obligation under applicable income tax laws to withhold for income or other taxes due upon or incident to such exercise. The Committee may,
in its discretion, permit such withholding obligation to be satisfied through the withholding of Shares that would otherwise be delivered upon exercise of the Option. 
 6. Optionee’s Representations. The Optionee represents that he is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

The Optionee represents that he is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business, financial and investment matters, capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed decision with respect to, the investment in the Company, and that he is able 

  
 2 

 
to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time and able to afford the complete loss of such investment. 

The Optionee (and his representatives, if any) has had an opportunity to request and review information, and ask and have his questions
answered, with respect to the Company, desires no further or additional information concerning the Company or its operations, and deems such information received and reviewed adequate to evaluate the merits and risks of Optionee’s investment in
the Company. 
 The Optionee represents that he is acquiring the Option for his own account, solely for investment and without a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. 
 The Optionee understands further that the Option and the Shares may constitute
“restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable “Blue Sky” laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. 
 The Optionee further understands that the Option and the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective and current registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended or applicable “Blue Sky” laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, or if available, an exemption therefrom. 
 7. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the Optionee’s lifetime, may only
be exercised by the Optionee, provided that the Committee may permit transfers to a Permitted Transferee. Any such Permitted Transferee shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and Award Agreement, including the provisions
relating to the termination of the right to exercise the Option. 
 8. Restrictions on Shares. The Shares acquired on
exercise of the Option will generally be nontransferable and subject to such other restrictions as are set out in Article 11 of the Plan. 
 9. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or the Plan or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. 

10. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the Optionee and his or
her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 

  
 3 

 11. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall
be submitted by the Optionee or by the Company forthwith to the Committee, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties. 

12. Tax Consequences. The exercise of this Option and the subsequent disposition of the Shares may cause the Optionee to be
subject to federal, state and/or foreign taxation. The Optionee should consult a tax advisor before exercising this Option or disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder. 
 13. Acknowledgement. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant
of the Option does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options or any right to continue an employment or other relationship with the Company (for the vesting period or otherwise); (iii) that the Optionee
remains subject to discharge from such relationship to the same extent as if the Option had not been granted; (iv) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, when and on what terms they shall
be made, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (v) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (vi) that the value of the Option is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Optionee’s
employment contract if any; and (vii) that the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement benefits or similar benefits. 
 14. Employee Data Privacy. As a condition of the grant of this Option, the
Optionee consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Optionee understands that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including but not limited to
the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title, shares of common stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or other entitlement to shares of
common stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Optionee further understands that the Company and/or its
Affiliates will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates may each further
transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plans. The Optionee understands that these recipients may be located in the Optionee’s country of residence or elsewhere. The
Optionee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of
such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding shares of common stock on the Optionee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the shares acquired on exercise may be deposited. The
Optionee understands that the Optionee may, at any time, view the Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the local human resources representative.

 15. Confidentiality. The Optionee agrees not to disclose the terms of this offer to
anyone other than the members of the Optionee’s immediately family or the Optionee’s counsel or financial advisors and agrees to advise such persons of the confidential nature of this offer. 

16. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan and the Executive Employment Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. The
Plan, the Executive Employment Agreement and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the

the Company the aggregate exercise price of the Option, as set forth in the Award, by means of (check one): 
  

	 	 ̈	a check in U.S. dollars made payable to Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. or bank transfer;

in U.S. Dollars made payable to Quintiles Transnational Holdings, Inc. or bank transfer that, in combination, have an aggregate value (the Fair Market Value of the shares delivered plus the check or bank transfer amount) equal to the aggregate

 3. Representations of Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that the
Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Award and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. The Optionee represents that he or she is purchasing the Shares for his or her own account, solely for investment
and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Optionee represents that (A) he or she is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as described on Attachment
A, (B) he or she is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business, financial and investment matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment and making an informed decision to exercise the option and
purchase the underlying Shares, and (C) he or she is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time and able to afford the complete loss of such investment.1 In making the decision to exercise the option(s) the Optionee has
relied upon his or her own independent investigations or 
  

	1 	Optionee should contact the Plan Administrator through Global Incentives if he/she is uncertain as to whether he/she can make any of the representations included in
subclauses (A), (B), (C). 

 
those made by his or her representatives, if any (including professional, financial, tax, legal and other advisors). The Optionee (and his or her representatives, if any) has had an opportunity
to request and review information, and ask and have his or her questions answered, with respect to the Company, desires no further additional information concerning the Company or its operations, and deems such information received and reviewed
adequate to evaluate the merits and risks of the Optionee’s investment in the Company. 
 The Optionee understands further
that the Shares may constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable “Blue Sky” laws of any
state or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, the “Applicable Securities Laws”), in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee’s investment
intent as expressed herein. The Optionee further understands that the Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective and current registration under the Applicable Securities Laws or, if available, an
exemption therefrom. The Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares. 
 The Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities”
acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not
satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing
that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. The Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that
any such other registration exemption will be available in such event 
 The Optionee acknowledges that the Company is relying
upon each of the above representations in connection with the exercise of the option and the issuance of the underlying Shares. 

4. Rights as Shareholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to the
Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in the Plan. 

  
 2 

 5. Tax Consultation and Withholding. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may
suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. The Optionee represents that the Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants the Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase
or disposition of the Shares and that the Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. The Optionee further understands that, if the Optionee is a U.S. taxpayer, the Optionee’s purchase of the Shares will give rise to an
obligation on the part of the Company to withhold for income or other taxes due and agrees to make a payment to the Company in the amount necessary to allow the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations. 

6. Restrictive Legends. The Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends
substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:
