WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Optionee is providing, or has agreed to provide, services to the Company as a Director; and

 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 [Insert Grant Date] (the “Date of Grant”), the Company hereby grants to the Optionee, an option (the “Option”) to
purchase [Insert Number of Shares] Shares at the Option Price per Share of [Insert Option Price] (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 [Insert Vesting Schedule]. 

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, 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.

	 	(d)	Termination 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; (c) 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. 
 6. 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. 
 7. Restrictions on Shares. This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or stock exchange as may be required.
The Optionee agrees to take all steps the Committee determines are necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of federal and state securities law in exercising his or her rights under this Agreement. The Committee may impose such
restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option as it deems advisable, including, without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of
any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, or under any blue sky or state securities laws as may be applicable to such Shares. 
 8. Forfeiture. Where an Optionee engages in certain competitive activity or is terminated by the Company for Cause, his or her Option and Shares are subject to forfeiture conditions under
Section 11.3 of the Plan. Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 11.3 of the Plan, in addition to the remedies provided in Section 11.3, the Company shall be entitled to issue a stop transfer order and other
documents implementing the forfeiture to its transfer agent, the depository or any of its nominees, and any other person with respect to this Option and the Shares.

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. 
 10.
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. 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 the Optionee’s service relationship with

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,

 Exhibit 10.32 
 FIFTH AMENDMENT TO 
 EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Fifth” Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 18
day of April, 2013, by and between QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”), and DENNIS B. GILLINGS, Ph.D. (“Gillings” or “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, Gillings is employed under an Executive Employment Agreement, dated September 25, 2003 (the “Employment
Agreement”), assumed by the Company pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated March 31, 2006; 

WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement was further amended by Gillings and the Company on February 1, 2008, November 12,
2008, December 31, 2008, and December 14, 2009 (the Employment Agreement, as amended, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Amended Employment Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), and Gillings
and his affiliates are shareholders of Holdings; 
 WHEREAS, Holdings is preparing to hold an initial public offering of
shares of its common stock (the “IPO”), which will directly benefit Gillings and his affiliates; and 

WHEREAS, in light of Gillings’ current role with the Company, in anticipation of the IPO, and in consideration of the
benefits to Gillings following the IPO from enhanced share value, the Company and Gillings desire to further amend the Amended Employment Agreement, to provide for a reduction in certain compensation and benefits to Gillings and for other
modifications necessary to comply, following the IPO, with certain provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), in
the event Gillings is deemed to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A. 
 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 as follows: 

1. EFFECTIVE TIME. This Fifth Amendment shall become effective immediately prior to the time at which the registration statement
on Form S-1 filed by Holdings on February 15, 2013, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) becomes effective (the time at which the Registration Statement becomes effective, the “Effective
Time”). Shall the Registration Statement not become effective for any reason, this Fifth Amendment shall be null and void. 

2. COMPENSATION. Section 3 of the Amended Employment Agreement, entitled COMPENSATION, is amended as follows: 

	 	a.	Section 3(i) is amended by substituting “Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000)” in place of “one million dollars ($1,000,000), effective as of
the Effective Time. 

  

	 	b.	Section 3(ii), is further amended by deleting the provision added by the Amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement, dated February 1, 2008, and
substituting the following in its place: “Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Quintiles Performance Incentive Plan at a target level of one hundred percent (100%) of his annual base salary of $800,000, to be applied to the
bonus for the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs. The target level may be increased or decreased in subsequent years at the discretion of the Company.” 

 

	 	c.	Sections 3(iv), (v), (vii) and (x), including any amendments thereto, shall be deleted in their entirety. 

 

	 	d.	Section 3(viii), which was amended by the Amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement, dated February 1, 2008, shall be further amended to provide that
the maximum per annum reimbursement to GFM for business use of the aircraft during Gillings’ employment during the term of the Amended Employment Agreement shall be $2,500,000 (“Reimbursement Cap”), effective as of the Effective Time;
provided, however, that only with respect to the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, the Reimbursement Cap shall apply only to the remainder of such calendar year and shall be prorated based on the percentage of time left in such
calendar year following the Effective Time. 

 3. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION.
Section 5 of the Amended Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows: 
  

	 	a.	Section 5(a) shall be amended by deleting the references therein to Section 3(x) and Section 5(c). 

 

	 	b.	 Section 5(b) shall be amended by deleting the first sentence of the provision added to the first paragraph of Section 5(b) by Section 2
of the Third Amendment to the Employment Agreement, dated December 31, 2008, and replacing it with the following: “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 within five (5) days following the date on which the
release of claims executed by Gillings pursuant to this Section 5(b) becomes effective and non-revocable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following separation from service; provided, however, that if the 90th day falls in the calendar year following the year during which the
separation from service occurred, then the payments will commence in such subsequent calendar year; provided further that if such payments commence in such subsequent year, 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.” 

  
 2 

	 	c.	Section 5(b) shall be further amended by deleting the fifth through the twelfth sentences of the provision added to the first paragraph of Section 5(b) by
Section 2 of the Third Amendment to the Employment Agreement, dated December 31, 2008, and replacing the deleted provisions with the following: “The compensation provided to Gillings under this Section 5(b) following termination
of employment is hereinafter referred to as “Severance Benefits.” 

  

	 	d.	Section 5(c) shall be deleted in its entirety. 

 4. ADDITIONAL AMOUNT. Section 10, including all of its subparts, of the Amended Employment Agreement, entitled “Additional Amounts,” shall be deleted in its entirety. 

5. SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. A new Section 14(d) shall be added to the Amended Employment Agreement, which
shall provide as follows: “(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Amended Employment Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of termination of Gillings’ employment, he is a “specified employee,” determined in
accordance with Section 409A, any payments and/or benefits provided under this Amended Employment Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A that are provided to Gillings or for
Gillings’ benefit on account of his Separation from Service shall not be provided until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of Gillings’ termination date (“Specified Employee Payment Date”). The
aggregate amount of any payments that would otherwise have been made to Gillings during such six-month period shall be paid in a lump sum to Gillings on the Specified Employee Payment Date without interest and, thereafter, any remaining payments
shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule.” 
 6. COUNTERPARTS. This Fifth 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. 
 7. DEFINITIONS. All terms used in this Fifth 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 Fifth Amendment, unless provided otherwise. 
 8.
EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. For clarification purposes, and the avoidance of doubt, Gillings acknowledges and agrees that none of the revisions to the Amended Employment Agreement effected by this Fifth Amendment provide grounds for Gillings to
terminate his employment under Sections 4(d) (Breach) or (e) (Change in Position, Duties) of the Amended Employment Agreement, as it existed before, on or after execution or the Effective Time of this Fifth 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.

year set forth above.
