 Exhibit 10.69 

Quintiles IMS Incorporated 

Employee Protection Plan and Summary Plan Description 

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2017 

Introduction 
 This Quintiles IMS Incorporated Employee
Protection Plan (“Plan”) provides severance benefits to eligible employees of Quintiles IMS Incorporated and certain of its affiliated companies that have been designated by the Benefits Committee as participating companies in the Plan
(all participating companies are collectively referred to in the Plan as “Corporation”). The Plan is a “severance pay arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA and is intended to be and shall be administered
and maintained as an unfunded welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA. This document serves both as the Plan and summary plan description. 
  

	I.	Administrative Information 

 Plan Administration 

The Benefits Committee (“Committee”), a committee of Quintiles IMS management employees is named as the Plan Administrator under the Plan. The
Committee has the exclusive right, power and authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to conclusively decide any questions arising in connection with the administration of, and any claim for severance benefits under, the Plan. All such
determinations by the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such authority shall include the discretionary power: 

 

	•	 	To make and enforce such rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan; 

 

	•	 	To decide all questions, including questions of fact, concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person to participate in, and receive benefits under, the Plan; 

 

	•	 	To appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, consultants and other persons as may be required to assist in administering the Plan; and 

 

	•	 	To establish procedures, forms and time frames with respect to elections and other matters under the Plan. 

 Right to Amend and Terminate 

The Corporation currently intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate any and all provisions of the Plan
and any benefits payable under the Plan at any time without further obligation; provided, however, the Corporation may not modify or amend the Plan in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights of a person who has started to receive
compensation or benefits under the Plan. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan may be made by action of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Committee or their delegatees. 

Not an Employment Contract 
 Participation in the Plan
does not confer any rights to continued employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 

Non-Assignment of Benefit 

Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred. If, for example, an employee owes money to someone, he or she may not give that
person the right to collect from the Plan any benefit which may be payable. 
 Prior Plans or Policies; Individual Agreements 

Except for any restrictive covenant, confidentiality, work product, and/or arbitration or dispute resolution agreements entered into by an employee and the
Corporation (which agreements shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms), this Plan supersedes any and all prior severance plans, policies, arrangements, or practices of the Corporation (whether written or
unwritten, express or implied) relating to any subject matter covered by the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Plan does not affect the severance provisions of (a) any written individual employment agreement between an employee
and the Corporation which results in such employee not being an Eligible Employee hereunder; (b) any change-in-control severance plan; and (c) any other
agreement entered into between an employee and the Corporation which expressly supersedes the provisions of this Plan (i.e., by naming this Plan) and which remains in effect at the date of such employee’s termination of employment. 

Claims Procedures 
 Your local Human Resources department
reviews and authorizes the payment of benefits under this Plan for those employees who qualify under the provisions of the Plan. No claim forms need be submitted. Questions regarding Plan benefits should be directed to your local Human Resources
department. If you feel that you are not receiving benefits that are due, you must notify the Plan Administrator in writing. If the claim for benefits is denied (in whole or in part), you will be notified electronically or in writing within 90 days
(180 days if the Plan Administrator notifies you within the 90-day period of a need for an extension) of receiving the claim. The notice of denial will state the reason for the denial, the pertinent Plan
provisions upon which the denial is based, any additional information which may be needed and the reason such additional information (if any) is needed. In addition, you will be given an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedures and
the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a 

  
 -2- 

 
statement that you have a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) following an adverse benefit
determination on review. 
 If you wish to have a denied claim further reviewed, you must send a written request for review to the Plan Administrator at the
address and to the addressee specified in the “Specific Plan Information” section of this Plan within 60 days after your initial claim is denied. You may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the
claim to the Plan Administrator. Your claim for review will be given a full and fair review that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted that relates to the claim, without regard to whether such
information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
 The Plan Administrator will render a decision on the claim no later than 60
days after its receipt of your request for review. However, if the Plan Administrator finds it necessary, due to special circumstances, to extend this period and notifies you electronically or in writing, the decision will be rendered as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than 120 days after your request for review. The Plan Administrator’s decision will be provided electronically or in writing. Such decision will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by you and
will include specific reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that you have a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA and that you are entitled to
receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to your claim for benefits. A document is relevant to your claim for benefits if it was relied upon in making the
determination, was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the determination or demonstrates that benefit determinations are made in accordance with the Plan and that Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to
similarly situated claimants. 
 You may not institute any action or proceeding in any state or federal court of law or equity, or before any administrative
tribunal or arbitrator, for a claim for benefits under the Plan until you have first exhausted the procedures set forth above. No action or proceeding at all may be brought in state or federal court or before any administrative tribunal or
arbitrator for benefits under this Plan after one year from the date of the Plan Administrator’s final decision on your claim as described above. 

Statement of ERISA Rights 
 As a participant in the Plan,
you are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to: 
 Examine,
without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office, all Plan documents, including copies of all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports and Plan descriptions. 

Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may
request a reasonable charge for the copies. 

  
 -3- 

 In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible
for the operation of employee benefit plans. The people who operate your Plan, called “fiduciaries,” have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer
or any other person, may discriminate against you in any way for the purpose of preventing you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part you must receive a written
explanation of the reasons for the denial. You have the right to have the Plan Administrator review and reconsider your claim. 
 Under ERISA, there are
steps you can take to enforce your rights. For instance, if you request materials from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the
materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in
part, you may file suit in a state or federal court but any such suit must be filed within one year from the date of the Plan Administrator’s final decision on your claim. If it should happen that you are discriminated against for asserting
your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. 
 The court will decide who should pay
court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. 

If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact your local Human Resources department. If you have any questions about this statement or about
your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration. 

Right to Withhold Taxes 
 The Corporation may cause such
amounts to be withheld from any payment made under the Plan as it determines necessary to fulfill any federal, state or local wage or compensation withholding requirements. 

Unfunded Plan 
 The Corporation will make all payments
under the Plan, and pay all expenses of the Plan, from its general assets. Nothing contained in the Plan will give any employee any interest in any property of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

 Governing Law 

The provisions of the Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware without
regard to its conflict of law rules and with regard to its statutes of limitations. 
 Compliance with Section 409A 

Interpretation Consistent with Section 409A 
 Anything in
this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury
regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) and the Corporation shall have no right to accelerate or make any payment under this Plan except to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code. The Corporation shall have no obligation,
however, to reimburse any employee for any tax penalty or interest payable or provide a gross-up payment in connection with any tax liability of such employee under Section 409A of the Code except that this
provision shall not apply in the event of the Corporation’s negligence or willful disregard in its interpretation of the application of Section 409A of the Code and the Regulations to the Plan, which negligence or willful disregard causes a
Plan participant to become subject to a tax penalty or interest payable under Section 409A of the Code, in which case the Corporation will reimburse the participant on an after-tax basis for any such tax
penalty or interest not later than the last day of the participant’s taxable year next following the participant’s taxable year in which the participant remits the applicable taxes and interest. 

Exemptions from Section 409A 
 A Plan participant’s
right to salary continuation payments under this Plan shall be treated at all times as a right to a series of separate payments under Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Regulations. To the extent required by
Section 409A, any payments to be made to a Plan participant upon his termination of employment shall only be made upon such Plan participant’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. It is intended that: (a) all
payments made under this Plan on or before the 15th day of the third month following the end of the participant’s taxable year in which the participant terminates employment shall be exempt from compliance with Section 409A of the Code pursuant
to the exception for short-term deferrals set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Exempt Short-Term Deferral Payments”); and (b) payments under this Plan, in excess
of the Exempt Short-Term Deferral Payments, that are made on or before the last day of the second taxable year of the participant following the participant’s taxable year in which the participant terminates employment in an aggregate amount not
exceeding two times the lesser of: (i) the sum of the participant’s annualized compensation based on the participant’s annual rate of pay for the participant’s taxable year preceding the taxable year in which the participant
terminates employment (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely if the participant had not terminated employment); or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan
pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the participant terminates employment shall be exempt from compliance with Section 409A of the Code pursuant to the exception for payments under a separation pay plan as set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Regulations.

 II. Plan Terms 

 
 Plan Coverage 

The Plan covers all full-time salaried employees and regular part-time salaried employees who are non-temporary and
employed on an indefinite term basis of the Corporation who incur an “Eligible Termination” (as defined below). These employees are referred to in this summary as “Eligible Employees.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) an
employee who has entered into a written agreement with the Corporation which expressly excludes such employee from participation in this Plan (e.g., by naming this Plan or excluding participation in Corporation-sponsored severance plans
generally) and which remains in effect at the date of such employee’s termination of employment shall be an Eligible Employee only if so determined by the Plan Administrator; and (b) an employee who otherwise would qualify but who is not
on the United States payroll shall be an Eligible Employee only if so determined by the Plan Administrator, and such Eligible Employee, and any employee of an affiliated company who qualifies as an Eligible Employee, shall be subject to such
additional terms and limitations as the Plan Administrator may consider necessary or advisable; and (c) a worker who has signed an agreement with the Corporation stating that he or she is not eligible to participate in the Plan and any worker
that the Corporation treats as an independent contractor, during the period that the worker is so treated, regardless of whether such worker may be determined to be an employee by administrative, judicial or other decision, shall not be an Eligible
Employee. Employees who would otherwise be Eligible Employees but who have executed a written employment agreement with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that includes a provision for post-termination severance payments and is
in effect at the time of an Eligible Termination (hereinafter “Employment Agreement”) or are subject to another severance plan with the Corporation or any of its affiliated companies shall receive the greater of the Salary Continuation
provided for in this Plan or the post-termination payments to which the Eligible Employee is entitled under any Employment Agreement or such other severance plan as a result of a termination without Cause, but the Eligible Employee shall not be
entitled to both Salary Continuation under this Plan and compensation under such Employment Agreement or severance plan. The notice under this Plan shall serve as any required written notice under any such Employment Agreement or severance plan.
Payment of severance benefits due under this Plan shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Each Eligible Employee shall be designated as within one of the groups specified in Section III below. 

Eligible Termination 
 Severance benefits are only payable
under this Plan if an Eligible Employee incurs an “Eligible Termination.” An Eligible Termination means an involuntary termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment by the Corporation for any reason except that an involuntary
termination for Cause will not constitute an Eligible Termination and an involuntary termination due to unsatisfactory performance or any act or omission by the employee which could result in disciplinary action by the Corporation against the
employee in accordance with the personnel practices, policies and procedures of the Corporation will not constitute an Eligible Termination unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. 

  
 -7- 

 The foregoing notwithstanding, an Eligible Termination shall not include (a) a unilateral resignation; or
(b) any termination where an offer of employment is made to the Eligible Employee of a comparable position (i) at the Corporation or at any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) at an entity in connection with a Business Unit
Acquisition, or (iii) at a customer or client of the Corporation in connection with the transfer or outsourcing of the Eligible Employee to such customer or Client. Solely for the purpose of determining whether an Eligible Employee has received
an offer of a comparable position in connection with a Business Unit Acquisition, an Eligible Employee shall be considered to have received such an offer if the offer is for employment with the entity that engaged in such Business Unit Acquisition,
the compensation payable pursuant to such offer is not less than 100% of such Eligible Employee’s base Salary with the Corporation immediately prior to the Business Unit Acquisition and the principal place of employment under such offer is not
more than 30 miles away from such Eligible Employee’s principal place of employment with the Corporation immediately prior to the Business Unit Acquisition. The determination of whether an Eligible Employee has received an offer of a comparable
position under any other circumstances shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
 Severance Benefits 

If an Eligible Employee incurs an Eligible Termination, he or she will be entitled to the Salary Continuation and Benefits Continuation described in Section
III below. Under certain limited circumstances, however, the Plan Administrator (or other officers to whom authority is delegated) may alter the provisions of the Plan (by, for example, increasing or reducing benefits otherwise payable under the
Plan), but not the time or form of payment of those benefits, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Severance benefits under the Plan may not, in any event, exceed the limitations imposed by ERISA on severance payable under
welfare benefit plans. 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the amount of Salary Continuation payable shall be reduced by each of the
following amounts applicable to the Eligible Employee (but not reduced to an amount less than zero): 
  

	 	•	 	the amount of any sign-on bonus or any other amount(s) paid by the Corporation to the Eligible Employee (other than the payment of base Salary, performance-related bonuses, or
reimbursement of business-related expenses incurred by the Eligible Employee) in connection with the Eligible Employee’s commencement of employment, if such payment(s) occurred within twelve months of the date of the Eligible Termination, or

  

	 	•	 	the amount of any severance payments, termination payments or any other amounts paid or payable to the Eligible Employee arising from or relating to the termination of employment of the Eligible Employee by the
Corporation on account of pay-in-lieu-of-notice, severance pay, or similar benefits under
other benefit plans, severance programs, employment contracts, the requirements of any works council or labor organization or applicable laws, such as the WARN Act. 

  
 -8- 

 If reduced in accordance with this paragraph, the aggregate amount of Salary Continuation payable shall be
payable proportionately over the same period during which Salary Continuation is to be paid, as specified in Section III. 
 The payment of severance
benefits in excess of two weeks of Salary and benefits, as provided in Section III, is conditioned upon the signing of a release and agreement and such other documents that the Plan Administrator may require in a form approved by the Plan
Administrator. The release and agreement will require an Eligible Employee’s waiver of all claims, legal and contractual, against the Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, it may require, among other things, that
(1) the Eligible Employee (a) be reasonably available for a limited period of time to cooperate with the Corporation on various matters, and (b) abide by certain restrictive covenants; and (2) any amounts payable under the Plan
are subject to the termination of remaining payments and benefits to be provided to the Eligible Employee, if any, and the clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to the Eligible Employee and reasonable value of benefits received by the
Eligible Employee under the Plan, due to the Eligible Employee’s breach of such agreement or a breach of any other agreements, obligations or duties owed to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The release and agreement
will be provided to the Eligible Employee as soon as administratively practicable following the Eligible Termination. Following return of the required agreement and release signed by the Eligible Employee and expiration of any revocation period, the
Corporation will promptly proceed with Salary Continuation and Benefits Continuation in accordance with the terms of the Plan. (In order to satisfy the exemption from Section 409A of the Code described above, the date of commencement of payment of
severance and benefits in excess of two weeks of Salary and benefits shall be on or before the earlier of: (i) the 90th day following the Eligible Termination, determined in the sole
discretion of the Plan Administrator; or (ii) March 15th of the calendar year following the year in which the Eligible Termination occurred.) 

IMPORTANT: If an Eligible Employee does not sign the release and agreement, he or she will not be entitled to any benefits under the Plan in excess of two
weeks of Salary and benefits and will have NO RIGHT to any other severance benefits under the Plan. If the release and agreement is signed, the payment of severance benefits may be delayed until the end of any period during which an employee is
permitted by law to revoke a signed release, subject to the time periods set forth in the above paragraph. 
 Anything in this Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, payment of Salary Continuation that is not exempt from compliance with Section 409A of the Code to any Specified Employee upon separation from service shall not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation
from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of such Specified Employee). Any Salary Continuation payment which is subject to the six-month delay in payment described in this paragraph will be adjusted to
reflect the deferred payment date by multiplying the delayed payment by the product of the six-month CMT Treasury Bill annualized yield rate as published by the U.S. Treasury for the date on which such payment
would have been made but for the delay multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days by which such payment was delayed and the denominator of which is 365. The adjusted payment shall be made at the beginning of the seventh
month following the Specified Employee’s separation from service. 

  
 -9- 

 Certain terms are used in the description of Plan benefits contained in this summary. These terms, and their
meanings, are as follows: 
 “Benefits Continuation” means the continuation of medical, dental and vision benefits
that are provided over the Severance Continuation Period, as described in Section III. 
 “Business Unit
Acquisition” means the acquisition by an entity unrelated to the Corporation of substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary, business unit or function, portion of a business unit or function, facility or division of the
Corporation. 
 “Cause” means: 

(a) willful malfeasance or willful misconduct by the Eligible Employee in connection with his or her employment; 

(b) continuing failure to perform such duties as are requested by any employee to whom the Eligible Employee reports, directly
or indirectly, or by the Board; 
 (c) failure by the Eligible Employee to observe material policies of the Corporation; or

 (d) the commission by the Eligible Employee of (i) any felony or (ii) any misdemeanor involving, in the sole
discretion of the Plan Administrator, moral turpitude. 
 “Incentive” means a conditional payment, the amount of which is based on
performance conditions and eligibility rules of the respective plan, typically calculated based on results obtained over a one-year period. 

“Lump Sum” means payment of an Eligible Employee’s Salary Continuation benefit in a single payment in lieu of
payment over the Severance Continuation Period. The Lump Sum will be paid following the Eligible Termination within the time period set forth in Section II above, subject to the Eligible Employee’s execution and return of the release and
agreement described above for Salary Continuation in excess of two weeks. 
 “Salary” means an Eligible Employee’s annual base
salary in effect at the time of an Eligible Termination except, for purposes of determining the amount payable during the Severance Continuation Period, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include an additional cash amount as part of
the amount of Salary, in order to reflect any periodic payment being received as compensation by the Eligible Employee in addition to Salary immediately prior to termination and to ensure comparability of benefits among Eligible Employees receiving
benefits under the Plan. 
 “Salary Continuation” means the Salary that is paid over the Severance Continuation Period
or the amount paid as a Lump Sum. 
 “Severance Continuation Period” means
the total number of weeks over which Salary Continuation is payable (for circumstances other than Lump Sum payments) or Benefits Continuation is available. The Severance Continuation Period will begin following the Eligible Termination, subject to
the Eligible Employee’s execution and return of the release and agreement required by the Plan Administrator. 

  
 -10- 

 “Specified Employee” means an employee who satisfies the requirements for
being designated a “key employee” under Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) of the Code without regard to Section 416(i)(5) of the Code at any time during a calendar year, in which case such employee shall be considered a Specified
Employee for the twelve-month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month immediately following the end of such calendar year. 

“Year of Service” means each full and partial year of employment with the Corporation. Service will also
include periods of employment prior to the reorganization of Dun & Bradstreet or Cognizant Corporation to the extent they were taken into account under the Dun & Bradstreet and Cognizant Career Transition Plans prior to such
reorganization and periods of employment with Quintiles Transnational Corp. or its subsidiaries prior to the merger with IMS Health. All partial years of employment will be aggregated to determine an Eligible Employee’s total Years of Service
under the Plan. Prior periods of employment with the Corporation or companies that are acquired or become affiliated with the Corporation will not be taken into account unless expressly approved by the Plan Administrator. For purposes of determining
Salary Continuation payable and Benefits Continuation available to an Eligible Employee who is re-employed by the Corporation, Years of Service taken into account for purposes of determining any Salary
Continuation previously paid to such re-employed Eligible Employee under the Plan or any previous severance plan of the Corporation or its predecessor companies shall be disregarded in determining such
Eligible Employee’s Salary Continuation and Benefits Continuation upon an Eligible Termination following such re-employment.

 Form of Salary Continuation 

A Tier I Eligible Employee’s Salary Continuation benefit will be payable in accordance with applicable payroll practices for the Corporation’s active
employees throughout the Severance Continuation Period and the amount of such payments will be calculated at the Eligible Employee’s annualized Salary rate at the time of the Eligible Termination, and will start following the Eligible
Termination within the time period set forth in Section II above. 
 A Tier II Eligible Employees’ Salary Continuation benefit will be payable in a
Lump Sum following the Eligible Termination within the time period set forth in Section II above. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary,
the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion may continue salary and benefits for a period of two weeks following an Eligible Termination whether or not the Eligible Employee has signed and returned the required agreement and release (and the
applicable revocation period has expired); provided, however, such two weeks of salary and benefits shall be credited towards the Corporation’s obligation to pay any Salary Continuation and provide any Benefits Continuation. 

Benefits Continuation 
 Medical, dental and vision
benefits and their eligible enrolled dependents at the time of termination will continue throughout the Severance Continuation Period (even if the Eligible Employee’s Salary Continuation benefit was payable in a lump sum) for up to a maximum of
six months following the date of the Eligible Employee’s Eligible Termination at the levels in effect for the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the Eligible Termination but in no event greater than the levels in effect for active employees
generally during the Severance Continuation Period, provided that the Eligible Employee shall pay the employee portion of any required premium or contribution and that continuation of any medical flexible spending accounts will be on an after-tax basis only. Any period during which an Eligible Employee and his or her dependents may be entitled to continued medical coverage following an Eligible Termination pursuant to federal or state laws will
commence as of the Termination Date and not the end of the Severance Continuation Period. 
 Eligible Employees do not accrue or earn vacation or time-off benefits during the Severance Continuation Period. 
 Termination of Salary and Benefits Continuation 

The Severance Continuation Period described herein will end and salary and benefits payable under this Plan will cease upon the earlier of: (a) the end of
the Severance Continuation Period; (b) the Eligible Employee’s reemployment by or reassignment as a contractor, temporary worker, or consultant to the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation; or (c) the Eligible
Employee’s earning compensation under any employment or compensatory arrangement for services provided to any party other than the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation (including as an employee, consultant, sole
proprietor, security holder, or otherwise in an arrangement in which anything of value is earned or accrued based on the Eligible Employee’s services) if such employment is in breach of agreed restrictions between the Eligible Employee and the

 Exhibit 10.76 

QUINTILES IMS INCORPORATED 

QUINTILES SAVINGS EQUALIZATION PLAN 

Effective December 31, 2016 
  

	 	I.	Purpose of the Plan 

 The purpose of the Quintiles Savings Equalization Plan (the
“Plan”) is to provide a means of equalizing the benefits of those employees participating in the Quintiles Transnational Corp. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) whose matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan are or will be
limited by the application of Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or by reason of the exclusion from the definition of compensation under the 401(k) Plan of amounts deferred under any
nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by Quintiles IMS Incorporated (the “Corporation”). The Plan is intended to be an “excess benefit plan” as that term is defined in section 3(36) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) with respect to those participants whose benefits under the 401(k) Plan have been limited by Section 415 of the Code, and a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily
for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of ERISA. 
  

	 	II.	Participation in the Plan 

 All members of the 401(k) Plan shall be eligible to
participate in this Plan whenever their benefits under the 401(k) Plan as from time to time in effect would exceed the limitations on benefits and contributions imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code or would be limited by reason of the
exclusion from the definition of compensation under the 401(k) Plan of amounts deferred under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Corporation. For purposes of this Plan, benefits of a participant in this Plan shall be
determined as though no provisions were contained in the 401(k) Plan incorporating limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code or excluding from the definition of compensation under the 401(k) Plan amounts deferred under any
nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Corporation. 
  

	 	III.	Equalized Benefits 

 If member participating contributions or Corporation contributions
to the 401(k) Plan for any calendar year are limited by reason of the application of Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code or the exclusion from the definition of compensation under the 401(k) Plan of amounts deferred under any nonqualified
deferred compensation plan maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation shall pay the participant in this Plan, in a single lump sum, on or after January 1st and on or before March 15th of the
immediately following year, provided such participant is actively employed by the Corporation on such payment date, an amount equal to: 
  

	 	(1)	the Corporation matching contributions that otherwise would have been credited to such participant’s account under the 401(k) Plan if the limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and the
exclusion from the definition of compensation under the 401(k) Plan of amounts deferred under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Corporation did not apply, plus 

	 	(2)	an interest factor equal to one-half of the annual return which would have been received by the participant had such payment been invested eighty percent (80%) in the fixed income
fund and twenty percent (20%) in the equity index fund available as investment funds under the 401(k) Plan during the year prior to the year of payment, less 

 

	 	(3)	any applicable withholding taxes. 

  

	 	IV.	Death 

 Upon the death of a participant in this Plan, the benefits otherwise payable to
such participant pursuant to Article III shall be paid at the time provided in Article III to such participant’s designated beneficiary and in the absence of any such designation, to such participant’s estate. 

 

	 	V.	Administration of the Plan 

 The Corporation shall administer the Plan, except that any
action authorized to be taken by the Corporation hereunder may also be taken by any committee or person(s) duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the duly authorized delegees of such duly authorized committee or person(s).
The Corporation shall have full authority to determine all questions arising in connection with the Plan, including interpreting its provisions and construing all of its terms; may adopt procedural rules; and may employ and rely on such legal
counsel, such actuaries, such accountants and such agents as it may deem advisable to assist in the administration of the Plan. All of its rules, interpretations and decisions shall be applied in a uniform manner to all participants similarly
situated and decisions of the Corporation shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. 
  

	 	VI.	Claims 

 (1) Presentation of Claims. Claims for benefits shall be filed in
writing with the Plan Administrator. Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the claim is filed (or within 180 days if special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the claim and if notice of such extension and circumstances is provided to the claimant within the initial 90-day period.) 

(2) Claims Denial Notification. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall furnish to the claimant a
written notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: 
  

	 	•	 	the specific reason(s) for denial; 

  
 2 

	 	•	 	specific reference(s) to pertinent Plan provisions on which any denial is based; 

  

	 	•	 	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; 

 

	 	•	 	an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedures and the applicable time limits for such procedures; and 

  

	 	•	 	a statement that the claimant has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination on review. 

(3) Claims Review Procedure. Upon a denial, the claimant is entitled (either in person or by his duly authorized representative) to:

  

	 	•	 	request a subsequent review of the claim by the Plan Administrator upon written application for review made to the Plan Administrator. Any such request for review of the claim must be made within 60 days after receipt
by the claimant of such notice. A claimant must submit a written application for review before the claimant is permitted to bring a civil action for benefits; 

  

	 	•	 	review pertinent documents relating to the denial; and 

  

	 	•	 	submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. 

Timing. The Plan Administrator shall make its decision and notify the claimant with respect to a claim not later than 60 days after
receipt of the request. Such 60-day period may be extended for another period of 60 days if the Plan Administrator finds that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing and notice of the
extension and special circumstances is provided to the claimant within the initial 60-day period. 

Final Decision. The claim for review shall be given a full and fair review that takes into account all comments, documents, records and
other information submitted that relates to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Plan Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice
of the decision in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. The notice shall include specific reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that the claimant
has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, and a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to
the claim. A document is relevant to the claim if it was relied upon in making the determination, was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the determination or demonstrates that benefit determinations are made in accordance
with the Plan and that Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants. 

  
 3 

 Delayed Payments. If the Plan Administrator shall approve the payment of a claim for
benefits filed in accordance with the claims procedures set forth hereinabove, any payment delayed pending the resolution of such claim will be adjusted to reflect the deferred payment date by multiplying the payment by the product of the six-month CMT Treasury Bill annualized yield rate as published by the U.S. Treasury for the date on which such payment would have been made but for the delay multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days by which such payment was delayed and the denominator of which is 365. 
 Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with the Plan shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Parsippany, New Jersey in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of such arbitration. The Corporation shall
promptly pay or reimburse on a fully grossed-up and after-tax basis (so that the recipient of such reimbursement is held economically harmless) all reasonable costs and
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and pension experts) incurred by a participant or beneficiary to assert rights under this Plan, for so long as such rights may exist, or in any proceeding in connection therewith brought by a
participant or beneficiary, whether or not such participant or beneficiary is ultimately successful in enforcing such rights or in such proceeding; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be owed with respect to expenses relating to any
unsuccessful assertion of rights or proceeding if and to the extent that such assertion or proceeding was initiated or maintained in bad faith or was frivolous as determined by the arbitrators or a court having jurisdiction over the matter. The
amount of expense eligible for reimbursement in any one taxable year of the participant or beneficiary shall not affect the amount of expense eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of the participant or beneficiary. The reimbursement
of expenses shall be made each calendar quarter and not later than the last day of the taxable year of the participant or beneficiary in which the expense was incurred. The right to reimbursement of any expense hereunder shall not be subject to
liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
  

	VII.	Miscellaneous 

 This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, in which event the rights of participants to their accrued benefits shall become nonforfeitable. This Plan may also be amended at any time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Employee Benefits Committee of the
Corporation may amend the Plan without the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation with respect to amendments that such Committee determines do not have a significant effect on the cost of the Plan; provided, however, that no such
amendment of the Plan may (1) adversely affect a participant’s benefit under the Plan to which he or she has become entitled in accordance with the Plan as in effect on the date immediately preceding the date of such amendment, or
(2) adversely affect a participant’s right or the right of a participant’s beneficiary to receive a benefit in accordance with the Plan as in effect on the date immediately preceding the date of such amendment, or (3) cause any
payment that a participant or beneficiary is entitled to receive under this Plan to become subject to an income tax penalty or interest payable under Section 409A of the Code. 

  
 4 

 Benefits payable under this Plan shall not be funded and shall be made out of the general funds
of the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation reserves the right to establish a trust fund as an alternate source of benefits payable under the Plan and to the extent payments are made from such trust, such payments will satisfy the
Corporation’s obligations under this Plan. 
 No right to payment or any other interest under this Plan may be alienated, sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or made subject to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind. 
 Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as
giving any employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation. The Corporation expressly reserves the right to dismiss any employee at any time without regard to the effect which such dismissal might have upon him under the Plan.

 The Corporation may withhold from any benefits under the Plan an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. 

This Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Connecticut applicable to contracts made and to
be performed in such state to the extent not preempted by federal law. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder including the exception for short-term deferrals under Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations so as not to subject any participant or beneficiary to the
payment of any tax penalty or interest which may be imposed by Section 409A of the Code and the Corporation shall have no right to accelerate, defer or make any payment under this Plan except to the extent such action would not subject any
participant or beneficiary to the payment of any tax penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code. If a participant or beneficiary becomes subject to any tax penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code by reason of his or her
participation in this Plan, the Corporation shall reimburse such participant or beneficiary, as the case may be, on a fully grossed-up and after-tax basis for any such
tax penalty or interest (so that the recipient of such reimbursement is held economically harmless) ten business days prior to the date such tax penalty or interest is due and payable by such participant or beneficiary to the government. 

The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform the obligations of the Corporation under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would have been required to
perform such obligations if no such succession had taken place and such assumption shall be an express condition to the consummation of any such purchase, merger, consolidation or other transaction.
