HORSHAM, Pennsylvania, June 1, 2010 - Liquent, Inc. ("Liquent") is pleased to announce that Marlin Equity
Partners ("Marlin") has acquired Datafarm, Inc., a leading provider of
software and services solutions designed to support the regulatory business
processes of life sciences companies. In December 2009, Marlin acquired
Liquent from Thomson Reuters. Datafarm will be fully merged into Liquent.

Shy Kumar, Datafarm's founder and Chief Executive Officer, will join the
Liquent executive team as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer
(CTO) and will report to Rick Riegel, Liquent CEO.

The combined portfolio of software offerings is strengthened with the
addition of Datafarm's S-Cubed, Web Viewer and Desktop Application.
Datafarm's UK and India subsidiaries will also become part of Liquent. In
addition to providing Liquent with additional technical ability and depth,
Liquent's regulatory and clinical outsourcing services capability is
strengthened by more than doubling the number of associates on the team, and
with the addition of Datafarm India provides a proven low-cost, off shore
capability to complement Liquent's current on shore outsourcing services
offerings.

"We are very excited to bring Datafarm and Liquent together into a single
team. As a combined organization, we now have the deepest and broadest
capability to service the industry," commented Rick Riegel. "I am very
excited to have Shy Kumar join our team as well. He is a well-known industry
thought leader and innovator and I look forward to working closely with him
to drive Liquent forward into the future."

"The life sciences industries are converging as they seek to control
costs while accelerating the drug development process world-wide," Shy Kumar
said. "Over the past twelve years, Datafarm's software and services solutions
have been successfully used by hundreds of life sciences companies to
accelerate the regulatory approval process. This merger is consistent with
Datafarm's commitment and strategy to further enhance and expand the
availability of global regulatory submission and outsourcing services
solutions to the life sciences industry. We look forward to combining our
outstanding technology and complementary wealth of experience with Liquent."

"Marlin continues to recognize the life sciences industry's constant
challenge with regulatory change, drive for new product approvals, and
mounting cost pressures. With the acquisition of Datafarm, we are continuing
our investment in Liquent to support their evolving strategy to solve the
industry's complex regulatory challenges," stated Jim Brady, Group President,
Healthcare at Marlin Equity Partners.
