Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting To Be Held on May 27, 2015:January 29, 2019:

        This Proxy Statement and the 20142017 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at http://www.edocumentview.com/STRM.

Stockholders Entitled to Notice and to Vote

        All holders of record of our common stock and our preferred stock at the close of business on April 7, 2015December 17, 2018 (the "Record Date"), will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Our shares of common stock and preferred stock vote together as a single class.

        At the close of business on the Record Date, we had 18,628,28920,127,703 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote and 2,949,9952,895,464 shares of preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to vote such shares on a modified converted basis with each holder of preferred stock entitled to such number of votes equal to the total number of shares of preferred stock held multiplied by 75%, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Unless waived, holders of our preferred stock are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. As of the Record Date, the holders of preferred stock were entitled to an aggregate of 2,212,4962,171,598 votes. Shares of our common stock and preferred stock may not be voted cumulatively.


Quorum

        Our bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of all of the shares of our capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares that are voted FOR, AGAINST, WITHHELD, or ABSTAIN, as applicable, with respect to a matter are treated as being present at the


meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. At the Annual Meeting, 10,420,393 shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Distinction between Holding Shares as a Stockholder of Record and as a Beneficial Owner

        Some of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, trustee, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those shares owned beneficially.

        Stockholder of Record.    If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are considered, with respect to those shares, the "stockholder of record." As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

        Beneficial Owner.    If your shares are held in a brokerage account, by a trustee or by another nominee, then you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares. As the beneficial owner of those shares, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote and you also are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

        If you are not a stockholder of record, please understand that we do not know that you are a stockholder, or how many shares you own.

Voting Methods

        By Mail.    Registered stockholders may vote their shares by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card using the enclosed postage pre-paid envelope. We strongly encourage you, however, to consider using the Internet or telephone voting options described below because these voting methods are faster and less costly than voting by mailing your signed and dated proxy card. If you vote via the Internet or telephone, you do not need to mail your proxy card.

        By Internet.    Registered stockholders may vote on the Internet at http://www.envisionreports.com/STRM. Please have your proxy card in hand when going online and follow the online instructions. Stockholders that vote by Internet must bear all costs associated with electronic access, including Internet access fees. Internet voting for registered stockholders is available up until 1:00 a.m., Central Time, on May 27, 2015,January 29, 2019, the day of the Annual Meeting. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate each stockholder by use of a control number to allow stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. The control number can be found on the enclosed proxy card.

        By Telephone.    Registered stockholders also may vote by telephone by calling 1-800-652-8683 (toll-free) and using any touch-tone telephone to transmit their votes up to 1:00 a.m., Central Time, on May 27, 2015,January 29, 2019, the day of the Annual Meeting. Please have your proxy card in hand when you call and then follow the instructions. The control number necessary to vote your shares by telephone can be found on the enclosed proxy card.


        By Attending the Annual Meeting.    If you attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may request a ballot when you arrive. Alternatively, if you are a registered stockholder and attend the Annual Meeting, you may deliver your signed and dated proxy card in person. You must present a valid photo identification for admission to the Annual Meeting.


        If your shares are held of record in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee you should follow the separate instructions that the nominee provides to you. Although most banks and brokers now offer Internet and telephone voting, availability and specific processes will depend on their voting arrangements.

        If your shares are held of record in the name of your bank, broker or other nominee and you would like to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the nominee indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the Record Date and have been granted a proxy by your bank, broker or nominee to vote the shares. You also must present a valid photo identification for admission to the Annual Meeting.

Voting Requirements

        At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and act upon (1) the election of six directors for terms expiring at the 20162019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (2) the approval of a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers ("say-on-pay"), (3) the ratification of KPMGRSM US LLP to servesserve as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2015,2018, and (4) such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

        With regard to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), votes may be cast for the nominees or may be withheld. All nominees are current directors. The election of directors requires a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and the six nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

        With regard to Proposal 2 ("Say-on-Pay"), votes may be cast for or against the proposal, or stockholders may abstain from voting on the proposal. The approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker "non-votes" will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. The vote on Proposal 2 is a non-binding advisory vote.

        With regard to Proposal 3 (Ratification of KPMGRSM US LLP), votes may be cast for or against the proposal, or stockholders may abstain from voting on the proposal. The approval of Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker "non-votes" will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Treatment of Voting Instructions

        If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as instructed.

        If you hold shares as the stockholder of record and provide a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, then your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors. Our board of directors recommends voting "FOR ALL NOMINEES" listed in Proposal 1, "FOR" Proposals 2, and 3, and in accordance with the discretion of the named proxies on other matters brought before the Annual Meeting.


        You may have granted to your broker, trustee, or other nominee discretionary voting authority over your account. Your broker, trustee, or other nominee may be able to vote your shares depending on the terms of the agreement you have with your broker, trustee, or other nominee.


        The election of directors is not considered a "routine" matter as to which brokers may vote in their discretion on behalf of clients who have not furnished voting instructions with respect to the election of directors. As a result, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting with respect to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) or Proposal 2 ("Say-on-Pay"). The ratification of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a "routine matter," and therefore, brokers will have the discretion to vote on this matter even if they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

        The persons identified as having the authority to vote the proxies granted by the proxy card also will have discretionary authority to vote, in their discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment. The board of directors is not aware of any other matters that are likely to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting, including a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting to permit us to solicit additional proxies in favor of any proposal, the persons named in the proxy card will vote on such matter in their own discretion.

Revocability of Proxies

        A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting by (i) giving written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, (ii) properly submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (iii) appearing in person at the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

        If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, you must follow the specific instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee, or other nominee to change or revoke any instructions you already have provided to your broker, trustee, or other nominee.

        Attendance at the Annual Meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute a revocation of a proxy.

Costs of Proxy Solicitation

        We will bear the expense of electronically hosting, printing and mailing proxy materials and soliciting the proxies we are seeking. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain of our directors, officers, and other employees in person, by telephone, or via facsimile. Our directors, officers and other employees will receive no additional compensation for any such solicitations. We will request brokers and nominees who hold shares of our common stock in their names to furnish proxy materials to beneficial owners of such shares, and we will reimburse such brokers and nominees for the reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the materials to such beneficial owners. Your cooperation in voting promptly will help to avoid additional expense.

List of Stockholders

        In accordance with Delaware law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting and at our principal executive offices, which are located at 12301175 Peachtree St. NE, Suite 600,10th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30309,30361, on the date of our Annual Meeting, May 27, 2015,January 29, 2019, and for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.



PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect six directors, each to hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified at the 20162019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or otherwise, or until any earlier resignation or removal. All nominees standing for election are currently serving as members of our board of directors and have consented to continue to serve. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holder may determine. We are not aware of any nominee who will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.

        The board terms of Andrew L. Turner, Edward J. VonderBrink and Robert E. Watson expire at this year's Annual Meeting, and they have decided not to stand for re-election. Our bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be fixed by our board of directors. The size of the board of directors currently is fixed at nine directors. The board of directors has decided to reduce the size of the board from nine directors to six directors, effective upon the time of the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the board of directors has nominated six directors for election at the Annual Meeting.

Candidates for director were identified (other than Messrs. Moseley and Valentine, who were specified by Noro-Moseley Partners VI, L.P. and Great Point Partners, LLC, respectively, as described below) and recommended for nomination by the Governance and Nominating Committee of our board of directors. All members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are independent directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee and our board of directors have determined that a potential candidate to be nominated to serve as a director should have the following primary attributes: high achievement expectations with regard to increasing stockholder value; uncompromising position on maintaining ethics; conservative attitude towards financial accounting and disclosure; and ownership of shares of our common stock to bring the perspective of a stockholder to the board of directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee and our board of directors believe that the composition of the board of directors as a whole should reflect diversified business experiences, education, knowledge of and skills relating to the healthcare and healthcare technology industries, sales and marketing, investment banking, accounting and finance, and knowledge of our operations. The Governance and Nominating Committee and the board of directors take all of these diversity factors into account when considering individual director candidates because we believe that these diversity factors can enhance the overall perspectives of our board of directors and of management.

        To date, neither our board of directors nor the Governance and Nominating Committee has deemed it necessary to engage a third party search firm to assist in identifying suitable candidates for directors, but have the authority to do so in the future. Accordingly, no fees were paid to any such search firm in connection with the nominees for directors named in this Proxy Statement. The Governance and Nominating Committee currently believes that the existing members of our board of directors and executive management have sufficient networks of business contacts to form the candidate pool from which nominees will be identified. Once a candidate is identified as a possible director nominee by the Governance and Nominating Committee, our board of directors (or as many members of the board of directors as feasible) will meet with such candidate. The Governance and Nominating Committee will then take any feedback that it receives from the board of directors regarding the possible director nominee and evaluate the candidate using the criteria outlined above. The Governance and Nominating Committee would evaluate a director candidate recommended by a stockholder using the same process described above. To date, other than the candidates specified by Noro-Moseley Partners VI, L.P. and Great Point Partners, LLC as described below, and the candidate identified by Harbert Discovery Fund, LP, we have never received a director candidate recommended by a stockholder.

        In August 2012, we completed an equity investment from affiliated funds and accounts of Great Point Partners, LLC ("GPP"), Noro-Moseley Partners VI, L.P. ("NMP"), and another investor affiliated with NMP (the "2012 Private Placement"). In conjunction with such transaction, our board of directors


increased the size of the board of directors in accordance with our bylaws, creating two vacancies on the board of directors. Pursuant to the terms we agreed to in conjunction with the 2012 Private Placement, GPP and NMP were each granted the right to specify a director candidate to be nominated by our board of directors for election at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders thereafter. Such right will expire for each holder at such timehas now expired, as GPP (collectively with its affiliated funds and accounts) orand NMP (collectively with its affiliates), as the case may be, holds now hold shares of preferred and common stock representing less than 7.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis). Prior to the expiration of this right,


Allen S. Moseley, a member of the general partner of NMP, was designated by NMP to fill one of the two vacancies, and Michael G. Valentine was designated by GPP to fill the second vacancy. Messrs. Moseley and Valentine were evaluated by the Governance and Nominating Committee in accordance with our director review process and were appointed by the board of directors to fill the vacancies.

        Each of NMP and GPP currently owns more than 7.5% of our shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and has specified Messrs. Moseley and Valentine, respectively, to be nominated byOn December 19, 2018 our board of directors for election atdecreased the Annual Meeting. In the event that Mr. Moseley or Mr. Valentine is not elected tosize of our board of directors NMP or GPP,from eight directors to six directors effective as of the case may be, will be granted board observation rights.annual meeting of stockholders. As previously reported, Michael K. Kaplan and Michael G. Valentine notified the Governance and Nominating Committee that they did not intend to stand for re-election as directors at the annual meeting of stockholders. We thank them for their years of dedicated service to our business.

OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ("SAY-ON-PAY")

Proposed Advisory Resolution of Stockholders

        At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be given the opportunity to vote on the following advisory resolution:

        References in this Proxy Statement to "named executive officers" refer to David W. Sides, Nicholas A. Meeks, Jack W. Kennedy Jr., Lois E. Rickard, Randolph W. Salisbury, and Robert E. Watson.Shaun L. Priest. For information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Executive Compensation."

Background on Proposal

        In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and related SEC rules, stockholders are being given the opportunity to vote at the Annual Meeting on this advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly


(commonly referred to as "say-on-pay"). As discussed in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Overview of Streamline Health'sStreamline's Executive Compensation"Compensation," the Compensation Committee's compensation objectives are to motivate executive officers to deliver superior short-term performance by providing conservative, but competitive, base salaries and cash bonus opportunities; align the interests of our executive officers with the long-term interests of the company's stockholders through the grant of equity incentive awards; and provide an overall compensation package that is conservative, but competitive and, therefore, promotes executive recruitment and retention. The Compensation Committee has determined that the compensation structure for our named executive officers is effective and appropriate.

Effects of Advisory Vote

Corporate Governance Policies

        We encourage stockholder communication with the board. Any stockholder who wishes to communicate with the board or with any particular director, including any independent director, may send a letter addressed to the Corporate Secretary at Streamline Health Solutions, Inc., 12301175 Peachtree St. NE, Suite 600,10th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30309.30361. Communications should indicate that you are a company stockholder and clearly specify whether it is intended to be delivered to the entire board or to one or more particular directors(s). All communications to directors will be transmitted promptly without any editing or screening by the Corporate Secretary.

        The board of directors adopted our Code of Conduct, which applies to all of our directors, officers (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and any person performing similar functions), and employees. Our Code of Conduct is available through our website at http://www.streamlinehealth.net/investors.

        We have not implemented a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Typically, our board of directors holds its annual organizational meeting directly following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which results in most directors attending the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All of our then-serving directors attended the 20142017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and we currently expect all directors standing for re-election to attend the Annual Meeting.


        Our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management of the company. Management reports to the board of directors on the material risks the company faces when management determines that the company's risk profile materially changes. The board of directors uses management's reports to evaluate the company's exposure to risks in light of the company's business plan and growth strategies. The board of directors primarily focuses on risks in the areas of operations, liquidity and compliance, which the board of directors believes are the areas most likely to have a potential impact on the company in a material way.

        Our board of directors has scheduled regular executive sessions of our independent directors. At executive sessions, our independent directors meet without management or any non-independent directors present. The board believes that executive sessions foster open and frank communication among the independent directors, which will ultimately add to the effectiveness of the board, as a whole. Mr. Phillips, as the independent Chairman of the Board, presides over these executive sessions.

        We do not extend loans to executive officers or directors, and we have no such loans outstanding.

Executive Summary

        The Compensation Committee has a conservative pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and endeavors to have executive compensation practices that align executive pay with company performance. In fiscal year 2014,2017, the Compensation Committee took the following actions with respect to the executive compensation program:

        Streamline Health'sStreamline's financial performance in fiscal year 20142017 did not meet all the company's goals. As a result, the Compensation Committee did not award bonuses to the company's executives. The Compensation Committee believes this demonstratesany bonuses awarded should demonstrate strong alignment between executive pay and company performance.

        During fiscal year 2014, Streamline Health also underwent a leadership transition, whereby David W. Sides was promoted from Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer to President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Watson resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer on January 8, 2015. In connection with Mr. Watson's departure, we entered into a separation and release agreement with him. For additional information regarding this agreement, see below under "—Employment Agreements and Arrangements." Based on the objective of aligning pay and performance and the desire to induce Mr. Sides to accept the promotion, in January 2015 the Compensation Committee approved the following compensation arrangement for Mr. Sides:


        In fiscal year 2015, the Compensation Committee will consider the following factors, among others, in making executive compensation decisions:

        Based on these and other factors, the Compensation Committee has recently made the following decisions with respect to the company's executive compensation in fiscal year 2015:2018:

        The Board appointed Thomas J. Gibson as the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective as of September 10, 2018. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gibson when he was appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Compensation Philosophy

        The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation should be conservative and (i) provide an incentive for Streamline Health'sStreamline's executives to achieve the company's goals, (ii) reward executives with equity interests in the company and align the interests of executives with stockholder interests to enhance stockholder value and (iii) attract and retain key executives critical to Streamline Health'sStreamline's long-term success. Under the oversight of the Compensation Committee, the company has developed and implemented a pay-for-performance executive compensation program that rewards senior management for the achievement of certain financial performance objectives. Streamline Health achieves the philosophies of pay-for-performance and alignment of executive compensation with stockholder value primarily by providing a substantial portion of each executive officer's total annual compensation through annual short-term cash bonus opportunities and grants of long-term equity, primarily in the form of stock options.options and restricted stock. We describe our fiscal year 20142017 short-term incentive plan in greater detail below under "—Cash"Cash Bonus Opportunity" and describe equity grants in more detail under "—Long-Term"Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation—Stock Options and Restricted Stock."

        To ensure that executive compensation is competitive with peer companies, the Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer as an independent compensation consultant to assist in evaluating executive officer compensation for the 2015 fiscal year. Pearl Meyer will provide external market data from peer companies and relevant compensation surveys, including data regarding base salaries, total cash compensation (salary plus target bonus), and total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus equity grant value). This data will be among many variables, including individual past and potential future performance and strategic importance of the named executive officer, considered by the Compensation Committee when making compensation decisions.

Say on Pay Results and Consideration of Stockholder Support

        At the annual meetingAnnual Meeting of stockholdersStockholders on August 19, 2014,June 1, 2017, over 94%96% of the votes cast were in favor of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considered this positive result and concluded that the stockholders continue to support the compensation paid to our executive officers and the company's overall pay practices.


        In light of this support, the Compensation Committee decided to retain the core design of our executive compensation program for fiscal year 2014,2017, with an emphasis on short and long-term


incentive compensation that rewards our senior executives when they successfully implement our business plan and, in turn, deliver value for our stockholders.

        The committee will continue to monitor best practices, future advisory votes on executive compensation and other stockholder feedback to guide it in evaluating the alignment of the company's executive compensation program with the interests of the company and its stockholders. The committee invites our stockholders to communicate any concerns or opinions on executive pay directly to the Board. Please refer to "Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance Policies—Communications with the Board of Directors" for information about communicating with the Board.

        Based upon the preference expressed by our stockholders at the 2011 annual meeting, the Board has implemented an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. The next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation is scheduled to occur at the 2017 annual meeting.

Overview of Streamline Health'sStreamline's Executive Compensation

        The Compensation Committee designed the company's compensation program to provide our executive officers with a combination of cash (salary and bonus) and long-term equity incentive compensation to align their interests with those of our stockholders. For fiscal year 2014,2017, our executive officer compensation primarily consisted of the following components:

        Although the Compensation Committee has not established a policy or formula for the allocation of total compensation among these different elements of total executive officer compensation, the Compensation Committee endeavors to offer an appropriate mix among the different types of compensation:

The Compensation Committee Process

        The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to determine Streamline Health'sStreamline's compensation philosophy and to establish compensation for the executive officers. In establishing executive officer compensation, the Compensation Committee uses its subjective evaluation of the executives' performance and responsibilities, the company's overall performance and the President and Chief Executive Officer's recommendations. The Compensation Committee hasdoes not historically usedtypically use any compensation consultant in setting executive salaries, or in determining other components of executive compensation. Additionally, the Compensation Committee hasdoes not historically benchmarkedtypically benchmark the compensation of executive officers against compensation paid by other companies to their


executives. However, the Compensation Committee recently engaged Pearl Meyer to assist in evaluating executive officer compensation in fiscal year 2015.

Management's Role in the Compensation-Setting Process

        Company management plays a significant role in the compensation-setting process. The most significant aspects of management's role are:

        From time to time, the Compensation Committee invites members of management, including Messrs. Sides, Meeks and Kennedy and Ms. Rickard, to attend all or a portion of its meetings. Typically, Mr. Sides reviews the performance of senior management and makes recommendations on compensation levels. Mr. Meeks assists the committee in setting performance targets and advising on accounting and tax matters. Mr. Kennedy advises the committee on legal matters and prepares documents for the committee's consideration. Ms. Rickard provides the committee with information regarding the company's compensation and benefits programs. In addition, all four of these officers answer questions posed by the committee.


        In the past, the Compensation Committee has authorized the President and Chief Executive Officer to negotiate employment agreements with senior executive officers (other than himself). Typically, theThe negotiated employment agreements are subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee. Also, in certain circumstances, the Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to grant awards, and to make other determinations under the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") with respect to such awards, to persons who are not directors or officers subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), orand who are not subject to the requirements of "covered employees" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").Code.

Base Salary

        The Compensation Committee seeks to provide base salaries for our executive officers that provide guaranteed cash compensation in accordance with their experience, professional status and job responsibilities. Salaries for our named executive officers are generally provided for in their employment agreements, subject to review and adjustment by the Compensation Committee from time to time. The Compensation Committee has not historically retained a compensation consultant to assist it in determining appropriate compensation levels and has not engaged in any formal benchmarking processes. The Compensation Committee has instead relied on the general knowledge, experience and judgment of its members, both with regard to competitive compensation levels and the relative success that has been achieved by the company. In addition, the committee takes into account: years of service; level of experience; individual areas of responsibility; the annual rate of inflation; and the company's operating performance.


        The following table sets forth the base salaries for each of our named executive officers in effect as of January 31, 2015:2018:

Benefits

        Streamline Health offers a comprehensive package of employee retirement and welfare benefits (including group life insurance, health and dental care insurance, and long-term disability insurance), in which executive officers may participate on the same basis as other full-time associates.

        Streamline Health currently sponsors a 401(k) Plan for all of our eligible associates. This plan (the "401(k) Plan") is a tax-qualified retirement plan designed to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to make pre-tax savings deferrals of from 1 percent to 60 percent of their compensation each year, subject to annual limits on such deferrals (e.g., $17,500$18,000 in 2014)2017) imposed by the Code. Participants age 50 and older also may elect to make certain catch-up contributions, subject to a separate annual limit on such contributions (e.g., $5,500$6,000 in 2014)2017) imposed by the Code. New participants automatically defer 6% of their compensation unless they make a contrary election. The company matches dollar for dollar the first 4% of each associate's income contributed to the 401(k) Plan, including those contributions made by the executive officers.

        The company also offers the ESPPAmended and Restated 1996 Associate Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") to encourage stock ownership by our associates, including our executive officers, at an approximate 15% discount to the market price. In fiscal year 2014, among the executive officers, Mr. Kennedy participated in the ESPP.


Perquisites

        Streamline Health offers limited perquisites to our executive officers. Prior to September 2014, the company provided the use of an automobile to each of Messrs. Meeks and Watson. The perquisites provided to each executive officer in fiscal year 20142017 totaled less than $10,000 and less than 10% of total annual salary and bonus reported for each executive officer.


Cash Bonus Opportunity

        Each executive officer's employment agreement establishes a cash bonus target as a percentage of his or her base salary. The following table sets forth the target bonuses for each of our named executive officers in effect as of January 31, 2015.2018.

(1)
Mr. Sides was the company's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer until January 8, 2015. Prior to that time, Mr. Sides's target bonus opportunity was 65% of his base salary.

(2)
Mr. Watson resigned as the company's President and Chief Executive Officer on January 8, 2015. At such time, Mr. Watson's target bonus opportunity was 65% of his base salary.

        The Compensation Committee believes that cash bonuses should be contingent on performance relative to pre-established targets and objectives. Each cash bonus is determined based on whether these pre-established performance goals are met, upon which, the executives would be eligible to receive a bonus in an amount determined by the Compensation Committee, although the Compensation Committee may elect not to award such bonuses. In addition, if the adjusted EBITDA target is met and target incentive bonuses are earned, executives may be awarded additional incentive bonuses at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For the named executive officers to have been eligible for the cash bonus for fiscal year 2014,2017 to be paid at target levels, the company was required to meet financial targets, based on an adjusted EBITDA target of $9.6 million, as determined through an internal planning process.process, as follows:

        We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense of tangible and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, significant non-recurring operating expenses, and transaction-related expenses, including: gains and losses on debt and equity conversions, associate severances and related restructuring expenses, associate inducements, and professional and advisory fees. In awarding any additional cash bonus amounts above target amounts, the Compensation Committee would consider extraordinary company financial performance, as well as personal performance involving executive leadership.

        The Compensation Committee determined that not all of the objective financial goals were not achieved for fiscal year 2014,2017, and as a result, no cash bonuses were awarded and executives were not eligible for incentive bonuses.awarded. In awarding cash bonuses to executive officers for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016,2019, the Compensation Committee will consider multiple potential performance criteria including sales, adjusted EBITDA and revenue targets, as well as successful completion of certain aspects of the company's strategic objectives. In addition, as noted above, the Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer as an independent compensation consultant, which will review the company's bonus program for its executive officers.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation—Stock Options and Restricted Stock

        Streamline Health currently grants equity awards under the 2013 Plan. On August 19, 2014,June 1, 2017, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan to, among other things, increase the number of


available shares under the plan by 1,600,000300,000 shares. Awards can be granted under the 2013 Plan until May 31, 2023April 12, 2027 or the earlier termination of the 2013 Plan by the Board.board. The 2013 Plan permits the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other incentive awards. As of January 31, 2015,2018, there were 1,422,750271,101 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.


        In fiscal year 2014,2017, long-term incentive compensation to key personnel, including the company's named executive officers, was comprised entirelyprimarily of stock options.option awards. The stock options awarded last year vest ratably over a three year period from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes that its fiscal year 20142017 approach to long-term incentive compensation i.e., awarding stock options, provided the appropriate long-term incentives from both executive retention and pay-for-performance perspectives. Because an officer will benefit from a stock option award only to the extent the company's stock price appreciates above the exercise price of the stock option, stock options align the interests of management with those of stockholders and ensure that management achieves gains only to the extent that the company's share value appreciates. The Compensation Committee believes that the granting of stock option awards supports the executive retention goal.

        Streamline Health has historically granted stock optionsawarded equity grants to executive officers upon the commencement of their employment with the company. In addition, from time to time, the Compensation Committee has considered and approved additional grants to certain associates of the company, including the executive officers, where circumstances make such grants appropriate to the company's incentive and retention goals. In approving equity grants during fiscal year 2014,2017, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including the number of shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan, the grant rate over certain periods (as a percentage of shares of common stock), the amount of restricted stock and stock options to be granted, the performance of the named executive officer and his or her role, the impact of specific grants on the total compensation of the named executive officer, and the aggregate retention strength of all unvested equity held by such named executive officer and other key personnel. During fiscal year 2014,2017, the Compensation Committee approved grants of equity incentive awards to certain of our associates, including the following equity grants to our named executive officers:

Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program

        The Compensation Committee generally structures the compensation of the executive officers to consist of both fixed and variable compensation. The fixed (or base salary) portion of compensation is designed to provide a steady income so executives do not feel pressured to focus exclusively on short-term gains or annual stock price performance, which may be to the detriment of long-term appreciation and other business metrics. The variable portion of compensation (e.g., cash bonuses restricted stock, and stock option awards) is designed to reward both individual performance and overall company performance. For individual and company performance, any cash bonuses are determined by the Compensation Committee. Stock options will reward the recipient only if improved overall company


performance is reflected in the stock price. Similarly, restricted stock grants further reward the recipient if overall company performance is reflected in the public stock price. The Compensation Committee believes that the variable components of compensation are sufficient to motivate executive officers to produce short-term and long-term company results, while the fixed element is also sufficient such that executives are not encouraged to take unnecessary or excessive risks in doing so.

        Mr. Priest resigned from his position as our Senior Vice President and Chief Growth Officer effective May 25, 2018. Mr. Priest did not receive any severance in connection with his resignation.

        Each of the employment agreements with Streamline Health'sStreamline's named executive officers provides assurances to the company with regard to the availability of the executive's services, provides protection for the company'sCompany's confidential information and trade secrets, and restricts the ability of the executive officers to compete with the companyCompany during their employment and for a specified period after its termination. In return, the executive officers are provided assurances with regard to salary, other compensation and benefits, as well as severance benefits if their employment is terminated by the companyCompany other than for "good cause." For this purpose, "good cause" includes the current use of illegal drugs, conviction of any crime which involves moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation, commission of any act which would constitute a felony and which adversely impacts the business or reputation of the company,Company, fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement of company funds or property; wrongful conduct which is materially injurious to the reputation, business or business relationships of the company; material violation or default on any of the provisions of the employment agreement, and the material and continuous failure to meet reasonable performance criteria or reasonable standards of conduct as established from time to time by the board of directors.

        In addition, each of our named executive officers is provided additional assurances following a change of control of the company. In such a situation, they would receive enhanced severance benefits, but only if their employment were terminated without "good cause" or if they chose to terminate their employment for "good reason." This additional "double trigger" change of control protection has been provided to our named executive officers because they are considered vulnerable in a change of control context due to their positions with the company, their relative levels of equity ownership and the stage of their careers.

In addition, Mr. Watson was granted 59,244 shares of restricted stock of the company, which vest in six equal monthly installments from the grant date of January 8, 2015. As a condition to the receipt of the payments and other benefits provided in the separation and release agreement, Mr. Watson entered into a customary release agreement with the company.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

        Streamline Health has not adopted any stock ownership guidelines for executives. Executives are eligible to participate in the ESPP, which allows participants to purchase the company's common stock at an approximate 15% discount to the market price.

Stock Holding Periods

        Streamline Health does not have any stock holding period requirements for executive officers beyond option exercise or restricted stock vesting.


Recoupment Policy

Income Deduction Limitations

        Section 162(m) of the Code generally sets a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that the companyCompany may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any given year with respect to the compensation of each of our named executive officers. However, certain "performance-based" compensation that complies with the requirements of Section 162(m) is not included in the calculation ofFor years beginning prior to January 1, 2018, the $1 million cap. The Compensation Committee may considerlimitation did not apply to qualified performance-based compensation that satisfied certain requirements, including, among others, approval of the material terms of the plan by the Company's shareholders. Effective for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, there is no exception for qualified performance-based compensation from the Section 162(m)'s conditions for deductibility when structuring limitation, but a transition rule applies to any such qualified performance-based compensation arrangements for its officers, includingthat is provided pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017, to the named executive officers. However, we believe thatextent not materially modified thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Compensation Committee needs flexibilityreserves the right to pursue its incentive and retention objectives, even if this meansgrant awards under the 2013 Plan that a portion of executive compensation may not be deductible bybecause of Section 162(m) of the company. Accordingly,Code as the Compensation Committee, may approve elementsin the exercise of its business judgment, determines appropriate to meet the Company's compensation for certain officers that are not fully deductible under appropriate circumstances.objectives.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

        As described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment Agreements and Arrangements," we have entered into employment agreements with each of our current named executive officers. The agreements provide for certain payments and other benefits if a named executive officer's employment with the company is terminated under circumstances specified in his or her respective agreement.

        On January 8, 2015, we entered into a separation and release agreement with Mr. Watson in connection with his resignation and the termination of his employment agreement. The separation and release agreement provided that (i) Mr. Watson's outstanding unvested stock options will continue to vest in accordance with their terms through May 27, 2015 and (ii) all outstanding stock options will expire six months following the later of (x) the last day on which he provides transition services to the company and (y) May 27, 2015. In addition, the company paid Mr. Watson $200,000 and awarded him 59,244 shares of restricted stock of the company, which vest in six equal monthly installments from the grant date of January 8, 2015. As a condition to the receipt of the payments and other benefits provided in the separation and release agreement, Mr. Watson entered into a customary release agreement with the company.

        The following table quantifies the payments and benefits that each named executive officer, other than Mr. Watson, would receive assuming his or her respective employment were terminated, or upon a

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        For the 20142017 fiscal year, we paid each of our non-employee directors an annual retainer of $10,000,$20,000 immediately following our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to each of our then-serving non-employee directors, other than our Chairman of the Board, whowhom we paid an annual retainer of $35,000. In addition, committee chairmen were paid an additional retainer of $2,500. We paid the annual retainers immediately following our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We expect the amounts of the annual retainers to remain the same for the 2015 fiscal year.$45,000. In order to attract and retain high quality non-employee independent directors, we allow independent directors to accept restricted stock with a one-year vesting period, in equal value to all or a portion of their annual retainers, in lieu of cash.

        In addition to the annual retainers, we paid our non-employee directors fees for meeting attendance in the 2014 fiscal year. As the following meeting fee table shows, these fees were increased in July 2014:

Type of Meeting Attendance
 February 2014

For the 20152017 fiscal year, we dodid not plan to pay our directors additional fees for meeting attendance.

        For the 2014 fiscal year,On June 1, 2017, we also granted each then-serving non-employee director whose service on the Board was continuing beyond the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (other than the Chairman of the Board) $30,000$40,000 in restricted stock with a one-year vesting period. These grants were awarded on the day of our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We awarded the Chairman of the Board $45,000$55,000 in restricted stock with a one-year vesting period on such date. We made these awards pursuant to the 2013 Plan, and the awards were valued at the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. We expect

        On June 1, 2017, the amounts of the restricted stock grants to remain the same for the 2015 fiscal year.

        For the 2014 fiscal year, the directors were awardedcompany granted the following amounts of restricted stock:stock to each of the Company's then-serving non-employee directors whose service on the Board was continuing beyond the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (other than Mr. Moseley, as discussed below): Michael K. Kaplan, 6,86433,898 shares; Jonathan R. Phillips, 18,30684,745 shares; Judith E. Starkey, 8,43350,847 shares; Andrew L. Turner, 9,153 shares;and Michael G. Valentine, 9,153 shares; and Edward J. VonderBrink, 9,15350,847 shares. These amounts include shares of restricted stock that certain directors agreed to accept in lieu of cash for all or a portion of their annual retainers.

        We believe that awarding restricted stock to directors is a necessary component of their total compensation, including their retainer fees, and aligns their interests with those of our stockholders. Our Compensation Committee and board of directors have allowed a limited exception to this policy in connection with Mr. Moseley's service as a director on our board to account for limitations on his ability to accept compensation for service as a director and in recognition that a grant of restricted stock to Noro-Moseley would not satisfy the intent of the board's policy. For so long as Mr. Moseley remains a director on our board, we will pay the $25,000$60,000 cash equivalent value to Noro-Moseley instead of issuing restricted stock.

        Each of Mr. Sides, and Mr. Watson, as our respective current and former President and Chief Executive Officer, was not separately compensated for his service on our board of directors. See the Summary Compensation Table under "Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation" for information relating to the compensation paid to Messrs. Sides and Watson.Mr. Sides. As a principal of Noro-Moseley, Mr. Moseley is not permitted to accept personal compensation for service on boards of directors of companies in which Noro-Moseley invests. Therefore, the fees relating to Mr. Moseley's


service as a director are paid directly to Noro-Moseley. Meeting and retainerRetainer fees relating to Mr. Kaplan's service as a director are paid on his behalf to his company, Altos Health Management. Retainer fees relating to Mr. Lucas' service as a director will be paid on his behalf to Harbert Discovery Fund GP, LLC.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

        Since February 1, 2014,2016, there have been no related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K, except as described below.

        On October 31, 2014, Streamline Health entered into a multi-year term license with NantHealth, LLC ("NantHealth") for our Looking Glass® Clinical Analytics Solution. On January 8, 2015, Robert E. Watson resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Streamline Health to become President of NantHealth. The board term of Mr. Watson expires at this year's Annual Meeting and he has decided not to stand for re-election. In exchange for the license, NantHealth agreed to pay Streamline Health fees, subject to certain termination and deferral rights of NantHealth, over a six-year period depending on the aggregate number of end users of the software licensed under the agreement. Pursuant to this license, the company did not receive any revenue in the 2014 fiscal year and expects to receive approximately $0.5 million in revenue in the 2015 fiscal year.S-K.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

        Under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, our Audit Committee (or another independent body of our board of directors) is required to conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis. In accordance with our Audit Committee's charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing all related party transactions. For these purposes, a "related party transaction" refers to any transaction that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

        In addition, all of our employees, officers and directors are required to comply with our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct addresses, among other things, what actions are required when potential conflicts of interest may arise, including those from related party transactions. Specifically, if an employee, officer or director believes a conflict of interest exists or may arise, he or she is required to disclose immediately the nature and extent of the conflict, or potential conflict, to his or her supervisor, who, along with appropriate officials of Streamline, Health, will evaluate the conflict and take the appropriate action, if any, to ensure that our interests are protected.

        Since Streamline Health had entered into the license agreement with NantHealth before Mr. Watson became President of NantHealth, the transaction described under "Related Party Transactions—Transactions with Related Persons" did not require review, approval or ratification under the procedures described above. Mr. Watson's board term expires at this year's Annual Meeting and he has decided not to stand for re-election.



AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        The Audit Committee, which operates under a charter approved by our board of directors and available through our website at http://www.streamlinehealth.net/investors, oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Our management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the audited consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which review included a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

        The Audit Committee met independently or as part of the whole board of directors to review with management each of our quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, prior to the filing of those reports with the SEC. The Audit Committee reviewed with KPMG,RSM, our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014,2017, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In particular, the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMGRSM those matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, "Communication with Audit Committees." KPMGRSM also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered accountant's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed the independent registered public accounting firms'firm's independence with the auditors themselves.

        The Audit Committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

        In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors (and the board of directors approved) that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 20152018 as filed with the SEC.

        In connection with the audit of our fiscal year 20152017 consolidated financial statements, we entered into an audit engagement agreement with KPMGRSM which sets forth the terms by which KPMGRSM would perform the audit services for us. That agreement is subject to alternative dispute resolution procedures. The Audit Committee has determined that the terms and conditions of the KPMGRSM audit engagement agreement are similar to other registered public accounting firms, and a common business practice between companies and their audit firms. Although the provisions of the audit engagement agreement limit our ability to sue KPMG by providing for exclusive dispute resolution procedures, we do not believe that such provisions limit our ability to recover from the firm.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        On April 22, 2013, KPMGDecember 10, 2015, RSM was engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm effective May 1, 2013. Prior to that time, including for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, BDO served as our independent registered public accounting firm. A representative of KPMGRSM is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        On April 22, 2013, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 and the dismissal and replacement of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm. KPMG's engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm commenced on May 1, 2013. The dismissal of BDO was effective on April 30, 2013. The decision to change auditors was the result of a competitive process.

        During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 and through April 26, 2013, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with KPMG with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

        The reports of BDO on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of an opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

        During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 and through April 26, 2013, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such years.

        During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 and through April 26, 2013, there were no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

        We provided BDO with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that BDO furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of BDO's letter dated April 26, 2013 was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 26, 2013.

Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        All audit-related services, tax services and other non-audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by KPMGRSM was compatible with the maintenance of thatthe respective firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee's outside auditor independence policy provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services specifically described by the committee on an annual basis and, in addition, individual engagements anticipated to exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved.
