Description of the Annual Incentive

On April25, 2017, the Companys Board of Directors (the Board)
adopted the Tabula Rasa Healthcare,Inc. Annual Incentive Plan,
effective January1, 2017 (the Plan). The adoption of the Plan
formalizes the Companys annual short-term incentive program and
does not represent a new compensation program for the named
executive officers. Consistent with the existing short-term
incentive program, the Plan provides pay for performance
incentive
compensation to the Companys employees, including its named
executive officers, rewarding them for their contributions to
the Company with cash incentive compensation based on
attainment of pre-determined corporate and individual
performance goals, as applicable.
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee)
designates participants in the Plan for each performance
period. The Committee also may establish corporate performance
goals and individual performance goals for the participants.
The Committee may subsequently adjust the performance goals to
take into account such unanticipated circumstances or
significant events as the Committee determines.
Each participants incentive award opportunity is expressed as a
target award level, which may be a percentage of his or her
annualized base salary or a set dollar amount. to the terms of
the Plan, incentive awards, if any, are paid as soon as
administratively practicable after the end of the performance
period and in no case later than March15 of the year following
the calendar year in which a participant obtains a legally
binding right to such award. Generally, a participant must be
an active employee on the date awards are paid to receive an
award, provided, however, that participants may be entitled to
prorated awards if they are on a leave of absence when awards
are paid.
The Committee is responsible for administering the Plan and has
full discretionary authority under the Plan and the authority
to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable in carrying
out its duties thereunder, including delegating their authority
under the Plan. The Plan is an unfunded arrangement.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the
Plan and, by its nature, is incomplete. It is qualified in its
entirety by the text of the Plan attached as Exhibit10.4 to
this Form8-K and incorporated herein by reference. All readers
