Adam Gutstein, President of DiamondCluster International and Chairman of the Healthaxis Board Nominating and Governance Committee, commented on behalf of the board of directors: "The board determined that with Mr. McLane's previously announced intention to return to his home in Philadelphia, PA, now is the appropriate time for this evolutionary change in the company's executive leadership. The financial restructuring of the company has been completed, and the fiscal health of the company strengthened through the recent capital infusion from Tak Investments. Significant operational changes have been completed. A new and highly respected sales head and team are in place, and the company's capabilities have been retooled. The board is confident that John Carradine has both the experience and the ability to lead the new team, grow the company and enhance shareholder value."

Mr. McLane commented: "I am pleased that the board shares my perspective that we are fortunate to have John Carradine in position to become CEO of the company. He has worked closely with me in the reshaping and restructuring of Healthaxis. In addition, John and Larry Thompson have developed the game plan for much greater market recognition and penetration. He has the complete confidence of the board and our employees."

Commenting on the Company's leadership transition, John Carradine said: "We all are deeply appreciative of Mr. McLane's past commitment to leading the company through difficult times and the complete restructuring and rebuilding of the company, its financial security and its strategic direction. With Larry Thompson bringing a new level of market recognition and sales energy to the company, our historically strong operating team, and Jamie McLane's continued involvement with the strategic growth of the company, we are now positioned to build Healthaxis' share of the market."
