FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Announces Private

Placement of Convertible Senior Debentures

 

CHICAGO, IL – June 29, 2004 – Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX) announced today that it intends, subject to market and other conditions, to privately place $75 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior debentures due 2024. The debentures will be convertible, if certain conditions are met, into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also plans to grant to the initial purchasers of the debentures an option to purchase up to an additional $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of debentures. The placement of the debentures is expected to close on or about July 6, 2004, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds to repurchase approximately $11.25 million of its common stock that it expects will be sold by purchasers of the debentures and for general corporate purposes, which may include future additional share repurchases, acquisitions or other strategic investments.

 

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the debentures or the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The debentures will be offered to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The debentures and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
