Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Issuer Common Stock) of Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the Issuer). This Schedule 13D relates to the 29,881,714 shares of Issuer Common Stock (Shares) owned by Dr. Dennis B. Gillings, CBE, and certain affiliates of Bain Capital Investors, LLC and TPG Global, LLC (each of the foregoing, a Shareholder and together, the Shareholders).

The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 4820 Emperor Blvd., Durham, NC 27703.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by IMS Health Holdings, Inc. (the IMS Health).

(b) The principal executive office of IMS Health is located at 83 Wooster Heights Road, Danbury, CT 06810. The Reporting Person is a Delaware corporation.

(c) IMS Health is a leading global information and technology services company providing clients in the healthcare industry with end-to-end solutions to measure and improve their performance.

(d) (e) During the past five years, IMS Health has neither (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the directors and executive officers of IMS Health (collectively, the Listed Persons), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule I hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. To IMS Healths knowledge, none of the Listed Persons has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, each Shareholder has entered into a Voting Agreement (as defined below) with IMS Health. The Voting Agreements (which are the bases for the beneficial ownership by IMS Health of the Shares) were entered into as a condition and inducement to IMS Healths willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement (as defined below), and do not require the payment of any funds by IMS Health. Thus, no funds have been used for this purpose.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On May 3, 2016, IMS Health entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and between IMS Health and the Issuer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, IMS Health will merge with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer surviving the Merger (the Surviving Corporation). The Surviving Corporation will operate under the name Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc., and its stock, including shares to be issued in the Merger, will trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) under the symbol Q. Immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, the Issuer will convert to a Delaware corporation.

At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IMS Health (the IMS Common Stock) (other than shares held by IMS Health, the Issuer, or any subsidiaries of IMS Health or the Issuer) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, will be converted into the right to receive 0.3480 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Issuer Common Stock. Upon completion of the Merger, IMS Health stockholders will own approximately 51.4% of the Surviving Corporation on a fully-diluted basis, and stockholders of the Issuer will own approximately 48.6% of the Surviving Corporation on a fully-diluted basis.

Upon completion of the Merger, Ari Bousbib, IMS Healths current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will serve as Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Surviving Corporation. Thomas H. Pike, the Issuers current Chief Executive Officer, will serve as Vice Chairman. The Surviving Corporation board of directors will consist of 12 individuals, (i) six of whom will be designated by IMS Healths board of directors, of whom one will be Mr. Bousbib and (ii) six of whom will be designated by the Issuers board of directors, of whom one will be Mr. Pike and one will be Dr. Dennis B. Gillings, CBE (Dr. Gillings), who will serve as Lead Director.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, IMS Health and the Shareholders each entered into a Voting Agreement (each, the Voting Agreement and together, the Voting Agreements) pursuant to which, among other things, each Shareholder agreed to support the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the Transactions), including the Merger, by voting all Shares over which such Shareholder has voting power in favor of the Transactions. Each Shareholder also agreed not to enter into any voting agreement or voting trust or grant a proxy which is inconsistent with its obligations to vote in favor of the Transactions. Each Shareholder also agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Shares held by such Shareholder.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to IMS Healths Current Report on Form 8-K/A (File No. 001-36381) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2016, which exhibits are incorporated by reference in their entirety in this Item 4.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) (b) Immediately prior to the execution of the Voting Agreements, IMS Health did not beneficially own any Issuer Common Stock. However, as of the execution of the Voting Agreements on May 3, 2016, under the definition of beneficial ownership as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), IMS Health may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to (and therefore beneficially own) the Shares, representing approximately 25.0% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock. Accordingly, the percentage of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock that IMS Health may be deemed to beneficially own is approximately 25.0%.

Except as set forth above or on Schedule I, neither IMS Health nor, to the best of IMS Healths knowledge, any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, owns any shares of Issuer Common Stock.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by IMS Health that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Shares, except as required for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. IMS Health does not have any pecuniary interest in any of the Shares.

Except pursuant to the terms of each Voting Agreement as described in this Schedule 13D, IMS Health does not have power to vote or direct the voting of the Shares. IMS Health does not have any sole or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares.

All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon the Issuers reported 119,668,726 outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock as reported in the Merger Agreement as of April 27, 2016.

(c) Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of IMS Health, neither IMS Health nor any other person listed in Schedule I hereof has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any shares of Issuer Common Stock.

(d) (e) Not applicable.
