Recommendation

The Form 4 filing details routine insider stock transactions, including tax-related withholdings and a pre-scheduled sale under a 10b5-1 plan. These transactions do not provide new fundamental information about Premier Inc.'s business or financial performance that would warrant a change in investment recommendation. The sales are expected and do not signal a loss of confidence from management, therefore a 'hold' recommendation is appropriate based solely on this filing.
