PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Allscripts (the trade name of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.) is a leading provider of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions and related professional services that empower hospitals, physicians and post-acute organizations to deliver world-class outcomes. We provide innovative solutions that inform physicians and other healthcare professionals with just-right, just-in-time information, connect them to each other and to the entire community of care, and transform healthcare, improving both the quality and efficiency of care. We provide various clinical software applications for hospitals, physician practices and post-acute organizations, including acute care and ambulatory Electronic Health Records (EHR), physician practice management, revenue cycle management for hospitals and physicians, claims clearinghouse services, electronic prescribing (e-prescribing), integrated hospital care management and discharge management solutions, document imaging solutions, and a variety of solutions for home care and other post-acute organizations.

Overview

Our ambulatory solutions for physician practices include EHR and practice management solutions for large physician practices, Integrated Delivery Networks (a network of facilities and providers working together to offer a continuum of care to a specific market or geographic area), mid-size primary care and single specialty practices, and smaller or independent physician practices. Our award-winning EHR solutions are designed to enhance physician productivity using tablet PCs, wireless handheld devices and smartphones, or desktop workstations for the purpose of automating the most common physician activities including prescribing, dictating, ordering lab tests and viewing results, documenting clinical encounters and capturing charges among others. E-prescribing is an integrated component of every Allscripts EHR but we also offer a web-based stand-alone e-prescribing solution free-of-charge to any licensed prescriber.

Our practice management solutions combine scheduling, billing and revenue cycle management tools in a single package with functionality including rules-based appointment scheduling, multi-resource and recurring appointment features, referral and eligibility indicators, and appointment and claims management. Our web-based claims clearinghouse solutions are available on a stand-alone basis or integrated into our practice management solutions.

Our acute solutions for hospitals and health systems include integrated enterprise solutions that provide clinical, revenue cycle and performance management software for use by physicians, nurses and other members across a healthcare organization’s team.

Allscripts performance management solutions for hospitals and health systems focus on three critical areas: financial decision support; hospital patient flow and throughput; and clinical analytics. These solutions bring together integrated data from across the enterprise to analyze dependencies, trends and patterns, bottlenecks and areas of concern from a high level, down to the individual patient, clinician or resource.

Our acute solutions also include offerings for hospitals that are seeking stand-alone Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) and care management solutions, as well as post-acute facilities such as home health providers, hospices and skilled nursing facilities.

Allscripts post-acute solutions streamline the transition of care process between hospitals and post-acute care facilities. Our solution for home health providers is an integrated system that combines business, clinical, and scheduling features into a single package, providing home health, hospice, and private duty organizations with a user friendly product that enables staff to work more effectively both inside and outside the office.

Related to the implementation and use of our software, we also offer 1) professional services, 2) remote hosting, and 3) information technology (IT) outsourcing of software from Allscripts and from a number of third-parties. Our professional services are associated with the implementation of our software, the conversion and integration of clients’ historical data into our software and systems, ongoing training and support in the use of our software, and consulting services to help clients improve their operations. The Allscripts Speed to Value methodology helps our clients quickly achieve value from their investment in Allscripts solutions through accelerated software installation and systems configuration. Our remote hosting services help our clients manage their complex healthcare IT solutions infrastructure while freeing up physical space, resources and costs associated with maintaining computer servers and deploying client-based applications on-site. Under this offering, we assume responsibility for processing Allscripts and/or non-Allscripts applications for our clients using equipment and personnel at our facilities. Other remote services, such as remote monitoring and remote help desk, are also offered. Software installation, upgrades and patches and network configuration and repairs are handled by Allscripts IT professionals behind the scenes, so hospital IT departments can focus on more strategic initiatives. Our information technology outsourcing provides full, partial or transitional IT outsourcing services to our clients. This service allows healthcare organizations to concentrate on their core mission while leveraging our knowledge of healthcare processes and proven healthcare IT methodologies to build and manage an IT infrastructure that helps organizations derive value from their technology investments. We assume partial to total responsibility for a healthcare organization’s IT operations using our employees and assets. These services may also include facilities management, remote hosting and/or other remote services to help our clients to minimize the capital investment involved in staffing and maintaining its IT operations.

Recent Developments

Eclipsys Merger

On August 24, 2010, Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (which changed its name to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., “Allscripts”) completed the merger (the “Eclipsys Merger”) contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 9, 2010 (“Merger Agreement”) by and among Allscripts, Arsenal Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts, and Eclipsys Corporation, an enterprise provider of solutions and services to hospitals and clinicians (“Eclipsys”). Eclipsys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts as a result of the merger. The results of Eclipsys are consolidated with the results of Allscripts from August 24, 2010.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which was approved and adopted by boards of directors of both Allscripts and Eclipsys, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Eclipsys common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares owned by us, Eclipsys or any of their respective subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

We believe the combination of Allscripts and Eclipsys has made the combined company a larger, more competitive “end-to-end” solutions provider within the healthcare information technology industry. Combining the companies’ respective solution sets has created one of the most comprehensive solution offerings for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. By combining physician-office and post-acute care solutions from Allscripts with Eclipsys’ enterprise solutions for hospitals and health systems, the combined company is able to offer a single platform of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions.

Due to the Eclipsys Merger, given the unique breadth of solutions and customer types, the company is uniquely positioned to connect physicians, other care providers and patients across all health care provider settings including hospitals, small or large physician practices, extended care facilities, or in a home care setting. The combined company has significantly enhanced its ability to compete for opportunities among large hospital and health systems that increasingly are looking to one information technology vendor to provide a single, end-to-end solution across all points of care. At the same time, the combined company’s unique Helios by Allscripts service-oriented architecture enables less well-capitalized hospitals and health systems to pursue a

 

6


best-of-breed strategy that protects their current IT investments and applications without the added expense of the “rip and replace” strategy promoted by many acute care competitors. Moreover, Allscripts’ ability to field interoperable, “vendor agnostic” solutions built on an “open” IT architecture gives the company a competitive edge by enabling hospitals to easily connect their IT systems with those of affiliated physicians who use systems from another vendor. Hospitals view their affiliated base of referring physicians as a primary source of revenue, so information connectivity with these physicians not only streamlines the referral process but also strengthens bonds with a key business constituency.

Misys Merger

On October 10, 2008, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 (the “2008 Transactions”) by and among Misys plc (“Misys”), Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC (“MHS”), Allscripts and Patriot Merger Company, LLC (“Patriot”) which consisted of (i) the cash payment by an affiliate of Misys of approximately $330 million and (ii) the merger of Patriot with and into MHS, with MHS being the surviving company. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts and Misys obtained a controlling interest in Allscripts. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, we issued an aggregate of approximately 82.9 million shares of Allscripts common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The 2008 Transactions constituted a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. As such, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. The results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the date of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008.

Reduction of Misys Share Ownership

On June 9, 2010, Allscripts entered into a Framework Agreement with Misys, which was subsequently amended on July 26, 2010 (as amended, the “Framework Agreement”). Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Allscripts and Misys agreed to reduce Misys’ existing indirect ownership interest in Allscripts. As of June 8, 2010, Misys held indirectly 79.8 million shares of Allscripts’ common stock, representing approximately 54.5% of the aggregate voting power of Allscripts’ capital stock.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement:

 

   

Misys transferred to us 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of an indirect subsidiary of Misys (“Newco”), which held 61.3 million shares of our common stock, in exchange for 61.3 million newly issued shares of Allscripts common stock (such shares being referred to as the “Exchange Shares” and the transaction described in this bullet being referred to as the “Exchange”);

 

   

Misys sold 31.1 million shares of our common stock in an underwritten secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”);

 

   

Allscripts repurchased approximately 24.4 million Exchange Shares from Misys at an aggregate purchase price of $577.4 million (the “Share Repurchase”), which included a payment of a premium of $117.4 million in connection with the sale by Misys of its controlling interest in Allscripts based on the volume weighted average price of Allscripts common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to June 9, 2010, the date on which the Framework Agreement was signed; and

 

   

Following the Eclipsys Merger, we repurchased approximately 5.3 million additional shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $101.6 million (the “Contingent Share Repurchase”).

The Exchange, Secondary Offering and Share Repurchase are referred to as the “Coniston Transactions.”

 

7


The Coniston Transactions were completed on August 20, 2010. Allscripts did not receive any proceeds from the Secondary Offering. The Contingent Share Repurchase was completed on August 27, 2010. Accordingly, Misys’ equity stake in Allscripts was reduced to approximately 10.2% of the outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock.

On November 17, 2010, Kapiti Limited and ACT Sigmex Limited, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Misys, sold 12.5 million shares of common stock of Allscripts, resulting in Misys holding approximately 3.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010, between the Company and Misys and the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, upon Misys ceasing to hold 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, Misys ceased to have a right to nominate directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Allscripts Board”), and Misys-nominated directors serving on the Allscripts Board were required to resign. On February 24, 2011, Misys announced that it had disposed of its remaining investment in our common stock.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths are the keys to our success:

Industry-Leading Solutions

We have been an innovator in the development and adoption of healthcare information technology solutions. We believe our clinical and health solutions provide the following advantages:

 

   

Accessibility. Physicians can instantly access our web-based clinical solutions from a variety of locations, including the exam room, hospital, office or remote locations. With our EHR solutions, physicians can easily perform such important tasks as dictation and charge capture in an offline mode and immediately transfer those files once reconnected to the network. Our solutions run on tablet PCs, a wide variety of smartphones, desktop workstations and other wireless devices, as well as over the Internet in a hosted or “cloud” environment.

 

   

Innovation. Allscripts has developed a reputation for innovation through the introduction of pioneering new products. Recent examples include:

Sunrise Mobile MD, a new mobile solution that offers physicians greater control of the patient encounter on an Apple iPhone® or iPod touch®. Sunrise Mobile MD is built on Helios by Allscripts, the company’s industry-defining open platform to enable proprietary, native integration with the Sunrise Enterprise 5.5 suite. Physicians using the Allscripts iPhone application gain direct access to and from the Sunrise Enterprise electronic health record (EHR) enabling them to remotely monitor their hospitalized patients.

Allscripts Remote, the ambulatory equivalent of Sunrise Mobile MD, lets physicians access their Allscripts ambulatory EHR using an iPhone™, iPod touch®, BlackBerry®, Windows Mobile® or Android® smartphone. Capabilities include quick access to real-time patient summary information; fast communication to local hospital emergency rooms; convenient ePrescribing to the patient’s regular pharmacy; and real-time access to all the information a physician needs to make decisions, including medical history, lab results and medications.

Allscripts Patient Kiosk, developed in partnership with Fujitsu (our hardware partner), is the first kiosk from a major practice management and EHR vendor. The kiosk connects to our EHR and practice management solutions to enable patients to quickly check-in, pay their co-pays using a credit card and conduct other business while taking control of their own healthcare with a dashboard view of all their personal information, including a complete health maintenance plan and alerts about upcoming or overdue tests.

Allscripts Prenatal is among the first stand-alone and EHR-integrated cloud-based solutions to address the unique workflow and cross-provider information sharing needs of prenatal care. Currently,

 

8


obstetricians must fax patient information between their offices and hospital labor and delivery rooms. Too often, the process leaves them without the critical information they need to make clinical decisions. Allscripts Prenatal enables real-time sharing of patient information between all settings. To match the normal workflow of obstetricians, the solution also provides an easy-to-navigate web-based version of the paper forms used today by most physicians providing obstetric care.

The Allscripts Developer Program (ADP) enables clients and third parties to use Helios by Allscripts technology to natively integrate their applications with our clinical and business performance solutions. Clients can search the new Allscripts Application Store & Exchange (ASX) to select or share applications developed through the ADP. By enabling Allscripts clients to easily locate and exchange technologies that are natively integrated with Sunrise Enterprise, ASX protects their existing technology investments and helps avoid expensive “rip and replace” situations.

The Allscripts Referral Network (ARN), makes it easy to deliver seamless electronic patient referrals within the Allscripts client base of 180,000 physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post-acute care organizations. A breakthrough in health information exchange, ARN enables physicians to easily send, receive and track round-trip patient referrals to physicians and post-acute providers, as well as collaborate via secure messages throughout the referral process. Available at no additional charge to users of any ARRA-certified Allscripts EHR, as well as users of Allscripts ePrescribe, the service enhances care coordination, promotes quality of care, and reduces administrative time and hassle associated with referral management, one of the most time consuming physician tasks.

 

   

Cloud-based solutions. By making a wide variety of our solutions available via the “cloud” (i.e., available on-demand over the Internet using a web browser) we believe that we have significantly increased the ease of adoption of our solutions. This capability is especially important for physicians in independent practice and small groups who make up nearly half the U.S. physician population yet lack the IT resources and know-how to manage an on-premise software application.

 

   

Interoperability. Our products are designed to operate with existing installed systems, in both ambulatory and acute settings. Our Helios by Allscripts is an open platform system that represents a shift in the way information is managed. It allows vendor freedom of choice and brings the management of healthcare technology into the modern age. Helios is intended to reduce the costs and resource demands hospitals experience in managing hundreds of vendor systems while effectively ending the battle between best-of-breed applications versus enterprise solutions. Helios by Allscripts opens the door to clients and third parties to natively build applications on a platform that eliminates the need for interfaces, thus providing a cost of ownership that can be dramatically lower than a single vendor with a closed proprietary architecture. Our Universal Application Integrators an innovative application that enables Allscripts and third-parties to quickly and easily build connections between our software applications.

 

   

Enhancing the Revenue Cycle. Allscripts focuses on making it easier for our clients to access new opportunities for financial gain through a variety of revenue cycle solutions. In particular, our Payerpath solution is one of the leading revenue cycle management and clearinghouse services in the United States with over 600 million revenue cycle management transactions processed each year. Available on a stand-alone basis or integrated with our practice management systems, Payerpath’s comprehensive suite of internet solutions addresses every step in the reimbursement cycle for physician practices, clearinghouses and payers, delivering improved reimbursement and claim management processes that lead to cleaner claims and faster payments. For example, Payerpath Eligibility provides instant verification of patient insurance eligibility, ending phone calls to payers to clarify covered procedures and patient eligibility. Another example, Allscripts Patient Payment Assurance, provides point-of-care collection of credit card and debit card payments, reducing the need for patient billing, which can dramatically reduce patient receivables. By enabling significant return on investment, our revenue cycle solutions allow providers to focus less on running their businesses and more on providing quality patient care.

A Comprehensive Portfolio for Physicians. For physicians not yet ready for an EHR, our portfolio includes stand-alone, web-based electronic prescribing (free of charge), document management, and revenue cycle management. For physicians who already utilize an EHR and practice management system, our portfolio includes connections to other physicians, to our Emergency Department and Care Management solutions and to post-acute providers and third-party hospital inpatient information systems. We also offer add-ons to the EHR that enable physicians to more easily enroll patients in clinical trials, automate the process of reporting quality outcomes to government and private “pay for performance” programs, and connect to communities of healthcare organizations such as regional Health Information Exchanges.

 

   

Accelerated Implementations. The Allscripts READY accelerated deployment program answers the growing need for faster, standardized implementations of Electronic Health Records. As the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) incentives start to take effect, industry observers anticipate a significant increase in the number of physician practices seeking to deploy an EHR, placing greater pressure on physician groups and EHR vendors to implement the software more quickly and with fewer human resources. READY provides the answer with a series of complete solution packages that combine best-in-class recommendations for products, certified workflows and implementation, as well as remote e-learning in place of onsite training. Leveraging experience from thousands of successful clients, READY standardizes an EHR implementation and delivers a faster installation with minimized costs.

 

   

Accelerated Upgrades. Our Upgrade Enablement Center (UEC) provides a quick and accelerated migration path for our legacy Misys EMR users. The four- to six-week process lets clients protect their investment in software and information while upgrading to our Professional EHR, providing a rapid opportunity to participate in the federal Stimulus program. We are planning to extend our UEC platform to upgrade Allscripts clients on all of our legacy EHR systems, which we believe will ensure that Allscripts clients will be “Stimulus-ready.”

Significant Installed Base

Approximately 180,000 physicians, 1,500 hospitals and 10,000 post-acute organizations nationwide utilize Allscripts solutions to automate and connect their clinical and business operations. Our significant installed base, including some of the country’s most prestigious medical groups and hospitals, serves as a reference source for prospective clients who are interested in purchasing our solutions.

Large Base of Physician Practice Clients Without an EHR

Following its merger with MHS in October 2008, Allscripts acquired approximately 110,000 physician users of legacy MHS practice management solutions, a vast majority of whom have yet to make an EHR buying decision. We believe these physician practices are most likely to turn to Allscripts, the company that already manages their financial back office operations, when they go looking for an EHR solution.

Significant Market Demand for Ambulatory EHR Among Hospital Base

In 2010, the proportion of US physician practices owned by hospitals or health systems surpassed 50% for the first time. Industry observers expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future as hospitals seek to strengthen their relationships with physicians, who constitute by far their largest source of income (via patient referrals), and seek competitive advantage in their communities. A primary strategic imperative of hospital CIOs is to bring their current and newly-employed physician practices live on a common EHR platform, ensuring continuity of care and greater efficiencies through seamless information exchange. At the same time, hospitals increasingly are seeking to take advantage of the federal ARRA incentives for EHR adoption by providing an EHR to their affiliated physicians at a subsidized rate. Their selection of an ambulatory EHR for both employed and affiliated physicians hinges in large part on the level of integration between the EHR and their existing

 

10


inpatient information system. The integration of Allscripts ambulatory EHRs and the Eclipsys acute care solutions is intended in part to meet this rapidly evolving market demand. We believe many of the company’s existing Sunrise hospitals (approximately 700 at the time of the merger) are likely to turn to Allscripts when they go looking for an EHR or EHR replacement for their employed and/or affiliated physicians.

Breadth of Product and Service Offering

Allscripts provides one of the most comprehensive solution offerings in the industry for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. We offer a single platform of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions, as well as standalone best-of-breed solutions in virtually every health information management category. Moreover, we are one of the few healthcare IT companies able to provide solutions that service every healthcare setting, from solo physician practices to the largest academic medical groups, hospitals of every size and configuration, and post-acute organizations including skilled nursing facilities, homecare and hospice.

Strength of our Distribution Network

The Allscripts Distribution Network (ADN) is composed of nearly 100 leading resellers and distributors of healthcare products and services that provide the Allscripts MyWay Electronic Health Record to small physician groups across the nation. The ADN significantly extends Allscripts market presence with a combined reseller sales force of more than 2,000, and existing physician relationships primarily in the one- to three-physician market of over 160,000 physicians. The ADN provides a trusted partner channel to help physician offices enter the electronic healthcare highway cost-effectively and with minimal IT headaches. Key members of the ADN include Cardinal Health, Inc., one of the largest healthcare distributors in the nation, SYNNEX Corporation, a leading business process services company, and Henry Schein, Inc., the largest distributor of healthcare products and services to office-based practitioners in the combined North American and European market.

Unique and Comprehensive Connect Strategy

The Allscripts Community Solution helps local and regional health systems to share information between a range of technologies from any source, creating a single patient record for providers across the continuum of care. The Allscripts Community Solution enables all the members of a patient’s care team to access the same up-to-date information about the patient, regardless of whether they work in acute, ambulatory or post-acute settings inside or outside the health system. The Allscripts Community Solution combines the Allscripts Community Exchange with the Allscripts Community Record. The Exchange efficiently connects and manages electronic transactions of all kinds between health systems and community/affiliated physician practices. The Community Record, provided in partnership with dbMotion, aggregates and harmonizes data from virtually any EHR or other clinical IT system, creating a single patient record across a health system or community.

Meaningful Use Certification

Allscripts core go-to-market acute care and ambulatory EHRs have been certified as meeting the Stage 1 requirements for demonstrating “meaningful use” of an EHR, a requirement for healthcare organizations that apply for financial incentives under the HITECH portion of ARRA. The following products are certified as being 2011/2012 compliant with ARRA’s Stage 1 criteria by either the Drummond Group or CCHIT, both of which qualify as an Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB), in accordance with the applicable eligible provider and hospital certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services:

Allscripts PeakPractice Version 5.5 (Complete EHR)

Allscripts elected to certify some of our solutions as both “complete” and “modular” EHRs under the ARRA regulations to provide clients with the flexibility to adjust the EHR to their current IT environment. For instance, if an Enterprise EHR client wants to keep a previously-installed patient portal application, under ARRA rules they need to implement our “modularly certified” version of that EHR, which is stripped of Enterprise’s built-in portal capabilities.

Sales and Marketing

We employ experienced sales executives with extensive industry expertise. We primarily sell directly to our customers through our sales force. As of December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 600 sales and marketing employees. In addition to our direct sales force and our ADN for MyWay sales, we also have established reseller relationships with strategic partners, such as Cardinal Health, Inc., Dell, Inc., Henry Schein, Inc. and Medfusion.

We continue efforts to expand sales of our solutions outside of North America, such as the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. We achieved some initial success with our sale of Sunrise Clinical Manager to SingHealth, the largest healthcare provider in Singapore. Our performance at SingHealth is being closely monitored in the region, and is proving to be a catalyst to help us drive additional business in Singapore and potentially in other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. These international initiatives are important to our ability to grow our business and require that we oversee development and client support capabilities in a high quality and cost-effective manner. Challenges we face in expanding our international sales include building brand-name recognition and adapting our software solutions to new international markets.

Recent Industry Developments

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill or Meaningful Use incentives, which provides financial incentives to physicians and hospitals that prove they have adopted and used Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology to improve both the quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care. Studies demonstrate that effective use of EHRs reduces medical errors, improves clinical quality and leads to better patient outcomes by enabling real-time access to patient records, medical information and best practices, and electronic connectivity to all healthcare stakeholders, including patients.

In addition to other components focused on economic stimulus, the ARRA law provides for what is expected to be almost $30 billion in funds supporting health information technology utilization. The total includes $2 billion in discretionary funds for supporting programs and an estimated $27 billion for incentives to be distributed through Medicare and Medicaid beginning in 2011 to ensure widespread adoption and use of interoperable healthcare IT systems, such as the EHR. Physicians who have not adopted certified EHR systems by 2014 will have their Medicare reimbursements reduced by up to 5 percent beginning in 2015. Hospitals that do not successfully demonstrate meaningful use in 2015 and beyond will have a payment adjustment in their Medicare reimbursement.

With the Meaningful Use incentives, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will pay physicians up to $44,000 or $64,000 (depending which program they participate in) over five years, beginning in 2011, for deploying and using a certified EHR to care for patients. Hospital incentives under ARRA are tied to several factors but begin with a base payment of $2 million. The law is expected to ignite significant job growth in the information technology sector and, according to a Congressional Budget Office review of the law’s impact, drive up to 90 percent of US physicians to adopt EHRs in the next decade.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this report. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know about or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business operations. If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to the Eclipsys Merger

We may be unable to successfully integrate Eclipsys’ business with our business and realize the anticipated benefits of the Eclipsys Merger.

The success of the Eclipsys Merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated synergies, growth opportunities and cost savings from integrating Eclipsys’ business with our business. The integration of two independent companies is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and involves numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, the entry into markets in which we or Eclipsys have little or no direct prior experience, the potential loss of our key employees or Eclipsys’ key employees, and the potential inability to maintain the goodwill of existing clients. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among other factors:

 

   

managing a significantly larger company;

 

   

the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;

 

19


   

integrating two unique business cultures, which may prove to be incompatible;

 

   

creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems and minimizing the costs associated with such matters;

 

   

integrating information, purchasing, accounting, finance, sales, billing, payroll and regulatory compliance systems;

 

   

preserving customer, supplier, research and development, distribution, marketing, promotion and other important relationships;

 

   

commercializing products under development and increasing revenues from existing marketed products;

 

   

coordinating geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities, including complexities associated with managing the combined businesses with separate locations;

 

   

combining the sales force territories and competencies associated with the sale of products and services presently sold or provided by us or Eclipsys;

 

   

integrating personnel from different companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and customer service and attractive to prospective customers;

 

   

integrating complex technologies, solutions and products from different companies in a manner that is seamless to customers; and

 

   

performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention to the Eclipsys Merger.

If management is unable to combine successfully our business and the business of Eclipsys in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings and operating synergies anticipated to result from the Eclipsys Merger, such anticipated benefits of the Eclipsys Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Any of the above difficulties could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and employees or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Eclipsys Merger, or could reduce our earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results.

To be successful, we must retain and motivate key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.

To be successful, we must retain and motivate executives and other key employees. Our employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us until or after strategies are announced or executed. These circumstances may adversely affect our ability to retain key personnel. We and Eclipsys have implemented retention plans to retain and motivate executives and other key employees which will increase the cost of the Eclipsys Merger. We also must continue to motivate employees and keep them focused on our strategies and goals, which effort may be adversely affected as a result of the uncertainty and difficulties with integrating our business and Eclipsys’ business. If we are unable to retain executives and other key employees, the roles and responsibilities of such executive officers and employees will need to be filled either by existing or new officers and employees, which may require us to devote time and resources to identifying, hiring and integrating replacements for the departed executives that could otherwise be used to integrate our business and Eclipsys’ business or otherwise pursue business opportunities.

If we are unable to manage our growth, our business and financial results could suffer.

Our future financial results will depend in part on our ability to profitably manage our core businesses, including any growth that we may be able to achieve. Over the past several years, both we and Eclipsys have engaged in the identification of, and competition for, growth and expansion opportunities. In order to achieve those initiatives, we will need to, among other things, recruit, train, retain and effectively manage employees and expand our operations and financial control systems. If we are unable to manage our businesses effectively and profitably, our business and financial results could suffer.

 

20


As a result of the completion of the Eclipsys Merger, we will incur significant additional expenses in connection with the integration of the two businesses.

During the seven months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred expenses of approximately $45 million in the Eclipsys Merger. As we work to integrate the business, we expect to incur significant additional expenses relating to the integration of personnel, geographically diverse operations, information technology systems, accounting systems, customers, and strategic partners of each company and the implementation of consistent standards, policies, and procedures, and we may be subject to possibly material write downs in assets and charges to earnings, which are expected to include severance pay and other costs. The integration process will be long-term and will continue to create significant expenses.

Risks Related to Our Business

If physicians and hospitals do not accept our products and services, or delay in deciding whether to purchase our products and services, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Our business model depends on our ability to sell our products and services. Acceptance of our products and services requires physicians and hospitals to adopt different behavior patterns and new methods of conducting business and exchanging information. We cannot assure you that physicians and hospitals will integrate our products and services into their workflow or that participants in the healthcare market will accept our products and services as a replacement for traditional methods of conducting healthcare transactions. Achieving market acceptance for our products and services will require substantial sales and marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant financial and other resources to create awareness and demand by participants in the healthcare industry. If we fail to achieve broad acceptance of our products and services by physicians, hospitals and other healthcare industry participants or if we fail to position our services as a preferred method for information management and healthcare delivery, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We may not see the benefits of government programs initiated to accelerate the adoption and utilization of health information technology and to counter the effects of the current economic situation.

While government programs have been initiated to improve the efficiency and quality of the healthcare sector and also counter the effects of the current economic situation, including expenditures to stimulate business and accelerate the adoption and utilization of health care technology, we cannot assure you that we will receive any of those funds. For example, the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) authorizes what is expected to be up to almost $30 billion in expenditures, including discretionary funding, to further adoption of electronic health records. Although we believe that our service offerings will meet the requirements of the HITECH Act in order for our clients to qualify for financial incentives for implementing and using our services, there can be no certainty that any of the planned financial incentives, if made, will be made in regard to our services. We also cannot predict the speed at which physicians will adopt electronic health record systems in response to such government incentives, whether physicians will select our products and services or whether physicians will implement an electronic health record system at all. Any delay in the purchase and implementation of electronic health records systems by physicians in response to government programs, or the failure of physicians to purchase an electronic health record system, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is also possible that Congress will repeal or not fund HITECH or otherwise amend it in a manner that would be unfavorable to our business.

Our failure to compete successfully could cause our revenue or market share to decline.

The market for our products and services is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and product standards, technology and user needs and the frequent introduction of new products and

 

21


services. Some of our competitors may be more established, benefit from greater name recognition and have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. Moreover, we expect that competition will continue to increase as a result of potential incentives provided by the Stimulus and consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries. If one or more of our competitors or potential competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. We compete on the basis of several factors, including:

 

   

breadth and depth of services;

 

   

reputation;

 

   

reliability, accuracy and security;

 

   

client service;

 

   

price; and

 

   

industry expertise and experience.

Our principal existing competitors in the physician healthcare information systems and services market include Aprima Medical Software (formerly iMedica Corporation), athenahealth Inc., Cerner Corporation, eClinicalWorks Inc., Emdeon Business Services LLC, Epic Systems Corporation, General Electric Company, McKesson Corporation, Quality Systems, Inc., Sage Software, Inc., The Trizetto Group, Inc., and Wellsoft Corporation.

Our principal existing competitors in the hospital and post-acute healthcare information systems and services market include Cerner Corporation, eDischarge, Epic Systems Corporation, General Electric Company, Maxsys Ltd., McKesson Corporation, MedHost, Meditech, Midas+, Picis, ProviderLink, Quadramed, Siemens AG and WellSoft.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the competitive pressures that we face will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

It is difficult to predict the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our software solutions.

The duration of the sales cycle and implementation schedule for our software solutions depends on a number of factors, including the nature and size of the potential customer and the extent of the commitment being made by the potential customer, which is difficult to predict. Our sales and marketing efforts with respect to hospitals and large health organizations generally involve a lengthy sales cycle due to these organizations’ complex decision-making processes. Additionally, in light of increased government involvement in healthcare, and related changes in the operating environment for healthcare organizations, our current and potential customers may react by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our services. If potential customers take longer than we expect to decide whether to purchase our solutions, our selling expenses could increase and our revenues could decrease, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If customers take longer than we expect to implement our solutions, our recognition of related revenue would be delayed, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future success depends upon our ability to grow, and if we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may incur unexpected expenses and be unable to meet our customers’ requirements.

We will need to expand our operations if we successfully achieve market acceptance for our products and services. We cannot be certain that our systems, procedures, controls and existing space will be adequate to support expansion of our operations. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our officers and

 

22


key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our technical, administrative, financial control and reporting systems. We may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases. Difficulties in managing any future growth, including as a result of the Eclipsys Merger, could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations because we may incur unexpected expenses and be unable to meet our customers’ requirements.

Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our business.

Our ability to provide high-quality services to our clients depends in large part upon our employees’ experience and expertise. We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel with a deep understanding of the healthcare and health information technology industries. We compete with a number of companies for experienced personnel and many of these companies, including clients and competitors, have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to clients and competitors who may seek to recruit them and increases the costs of replacing them. If we fail to retain our employees, the quality of our services could diminish, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we lose the services of our key personnel, we may be unable to replace them, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success largely depends on the continued skills, experience, efforts and policies of our management and other key personnel and our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees. In particular, the services of Glen E. Tullman, our Chief Executive Officer, are integral to the execution of our business strategy. If one or more of our key employees leaves our employment, we will have to find a replacement with the attributes necessary to execute our strategy. The head of our sales team has recently resigned from our company and we are currently looking for a replacement for the general counsel. Because competition for skilled employees is intense, and the process of finding qualified individuals can be lengthy and expensive, we believe that the loss of the services of key personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will continue to retain such personnel. We do not maintain keyman insurance for any of our key employees.

If we are unable to successfully introduce new products or services or fail to keep pace with advances in technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The successful implementation of our business model depends on our ability to adapt to evolving technologies and increasingly aggressive industry standards and introduce new products and services accordingly. We cannot assure you that we will be able to introduce new products on schedule, or at all, or that such products will achieve market acceptance. Moreover, competitors may develop competitive products that could adversely affect our results of operations. A failure by us to introduce planned products or other new products or to introduce these products on schedule could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot adapt to changing technologies, our products and services may become obsolete, and our business could suffer. Because the health information technology market is characterized by rapid technological change, we may be unable to anticipate changes in our current and potential customers’ requirements that could make our existing technology obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and services, develop new technology that addresses the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective customers, license leading technologies and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of our

 

23


proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may not be successful in using new technologies effectively or adapting our proprietary technology to evolving customer requirements or emerging industry standards, and, as a result, our business could suffer.

Our business depends in part on and will continue to depend in part on our ability to establish and maintain additional strategic relationships.

To be successful, we must continue to maintain our existing strategic relationships and establish additional strategic relationships with leaders in a number of healthcare and health information technology industry segments. This is critical to our success because we believe that these relationships contribute towards our ability to:

 

   

extend the reach of our products and services to a larger number of physicians and hospitals and to other participants in the healthcare industry;

 

   

develop and deploy new products and services;

 

   

further enhance the Allscripts brand; and

 

   

generate additional revenue and cash flows.

Entering into strategic relationships is complicated because strategic partners may decide to compete with us in some or all of our markets. In addition, we may not be able to maintain or establish relationships with key participants in the healthcare industry if we conduct business with their competitors. We depend, in part, on our strategic partners’ ability to generate increased acceptance and use of our products and services. If we lose any of these strategic relationships or fail to establish additional relationships, or if our strategic relationships fail to benefit us as expected, we may not be able to execute our business plan, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have taken, and, if an impairment occurs, could take, charges against earnings in connection with acquisitions.

If our products fail to perform properly due to errors or similar problems, our business could suffer.

Complex software, such as ours, often contains defects or errors, some of which may remain undetected for a period of time. It is possible that such errors may be found after the introduction of new software or enhancements to existing software. We continually introduce new solutions and enhancements to our solutions, and, despite testing by us, it is possible that errors may occur in our software. If we detect any errors before we introduce a solution, we might have to delay deployment for an extended period of time while we address the problem. If we do not discover software errors that affect our new or current solutions or enhancements until after they are deployed, we would need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors in our software could result in:

 

   

harm to our reputation;

 

   

lost sales;

 

   

delays in commercial releases;

 

   

product liability claims;

 

24


   

delays in or loss of market acceptance of our solutions;

 

   

license terminations or renegotiations; and

 

   

unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to remedy errors.

Furthermore, our customers might use our software together with products from other companies or those that they have developed internally. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our software does not cause these problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs, divert the attention of our technical personnel from our solution development efforts, impact our reputation and cause significant customer relations problems.

Our business depends on our intellectual property rights, and if we are unable to protect them, our competitive position may suffer.

Our business plan is predicated on our proprietary systems and technology products. Accordingly, protecting our intellectual property rights is critical to our continued success and our ability to maintain our competitive position. In addition to existing trademark, trade secret and copyright law, we protect our proprietary rights through confidentiality agreements and technical measures. We generally do not have any patents on our technology. We generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to our trade secrets and technology. Nonetheless, in some instances, third parties may have access to source-code versions of software. Furthermore, our use and distribution of open source software and modules in connection with our business also presents risks. Open source commonly refers to software whose source code is subject to a license allowing it to be modified, combined with other software and redistributed, subject to restrictions set forth in the license. We cannot be certain that, under the terms of those licenses, our software will not become publicly available or that we will be found to be in material compliance with such agreements. We cannot assure you that the steps we have taken have and will continue to prevent misappropriation of our technology and misappropriations of our intellectual property have occurred in the past. Misappropriation of our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our competitive position. In addition, we may have to engage in litigation in the future to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of third-party intellectual property rights. We may incur substantial costs and the diversion of management’s time and attention as a result and an adverse decision could have a negative impact on our business.

If we are deemed to infringe, misappropriate or violate the proprietary rights of third parties, we could incur unanticipated expense and be prevented from providing our products and services.

We are and may continue to be subject to intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other intellectual property violation claims as our applications’ functionality overlaps with competitive products and third parties may claim that we do not own or have rights to use all intellectual property rights used in the conduct of our business. We do not believe that we have infringed or are infringing on any valid or enforceable proprietary rights of third parties. However, claims are occasionally asserted against us, and we cannot assure you that infringement, misappropriation or claims alleging intellectual property violations will not be asserted against us in the future. Also, we cannot assure you that any such claims will be unsuccessful. We could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources defending any such claims. Furthermore, a party making a claim against us could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to provide products or services. In addition, we cannot assure you that licenses for any intellectual property of third parties that might be required for our products or services will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Such claims also might require indemnification of our clients at significant expense.

 

25


The outcome of any legal proceeding that has been or may be instituted against us could result in the payment of damages and/or may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are subject to various claims, other pending and potential legal actions for damages and other matters arising in the normal conduct of our business. The outcome of any such litigation is inherently uncertain and we may incur substantial defense costs and expenses. The outcome of any such may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On August 4, 2009, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against us, Glen Tullman and William Davis by the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 630 Pension-Annuity Trust Fund on behalf of a purported class consisting of stockholders who purchased our common stock between May 8, 2007 and February 13, 2008. On October 13, 2009, David Robb was appointed lead plaintiff, and on November 25, 2009, an amended complaint was filed containing allegations that we, Tullman and Davis made materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with the release of TouchWorks EHR, Version 11. On January 11, 2010, we filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On April 13, 2010, the court granted our motion to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs failed to sufficiently describe the confidential sources upon which the allegations in the amended complaint were based. On May 12, 2010, the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead. On May 14, 2010, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which attributed certain allegations to four different confidential witnesses, but made no other substantive changes. On June 11, 2010, we filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The motion is fully briefed and awaiting ruling.

On April 22, 2009, Doctors Administrative Solutions, LLC (“DAS”), a former reseller of Misys MyWay software, filed a lawsuit against Allscripts, LLC in state court in Tampa, Florida alleging breach of warranty, breach of contract, and tortious interference with prospective business relationships. Allscripts, LLC removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, after which DAS filed an amended complaint adding additional claims for breach of contract, specific performance, and declaratory judgment, and seeking damages and injunctive relief. The Company answered and counterclaimed against DAS for breaches of contract and trademark infringement. The case is currently scheduled for a bench trial in May 2011.

On September 14, 2010, Pegasus Imaging Corporation (“Pegasus”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and AllscriptsMisys, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The lawsuit also named former officers Jeffrey Amrein and John Reinhart as defendants. Prior to serving the complaint, Pegasus filed an amended complaint dropping two of the claims that had been asserted and adding two additional defendants, which are two now-defunct Florida corporations that formerly did business with the Company. The amended complaint asserts causes of action against defendants for fraudulent misrepresentations, negligent misrepresentations, and deceptive and unfair trade practices under Florida law, arising from previous business dealings between Pegasus and Advanced Imaging Concepts, Inc., a software company based in Louisville, Kentucky that the Company purchased in August 2003. On or about November 1, 2010, Defendants moved to transfer the case to the special court for complex business litigation that resides in Hillsborough County, Florida. The Florida Business Court granted Defendants’ motion for transfer on January 13, 2011. The Defendants also filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on November 16, 2010 and December 6, 2010, that are still pending before the Florida Business Court. Discovery in this matter is ongoing. No trial date has been set.

If our content and service providers fail to perform adequately, or to comply with laws, regulations or contractual covenants, our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend on independent content and service providers for communications and information services and for many of the benefits we provide through our software applications and services, including the maintenance of managed care pharmacy guidelines, drug interaction reviews, the routing of transaction data to third-party payers and the hosting of our applications. Our ability to rely on these services could be impaired as a result of the failure of such providers to comply with applicable laws, regulations and contractual covenants, or as a result of

 

26


events affecting such providers, such as power loss, telecommunication failures, software or hardware errors, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems, fire, flood and natural disasters. Any such failure or event could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and damage our reputation. This would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may have no means of replacing content or services on a timely basis or at all if they are inadequate or in the event of a service interruption or failure.

We also rely on independent content providers for the majority of the clinical, educational and other healthcare information that we provide. In addition, we depend on our content providers to deliver high quality content from reliable sources and to continually upgrade their content in response to demand and evolving healthcare industry trends. If these parties fail to develop and maintain high quality, attractive content, the value of our brand and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be impaired.

We may be liable for use of content we provide.

We provide content for use by healthcare providers in treating patients. Third-party contractors provide us with most of this content. If this content is incorrect or incomplete, adverse consequences, including death, may occur and give rise to product liability and other claims against us. In addition, certain of our solutions provide applications that relate to patient clinical information, and a court or government agency may take the position that our delivery of health information directly, including through licensed practitioners, or delivery of information by a third party site that a consumer accesses through our websites, exposes us to personal injury liability, or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of healthcare services or erroneous health information. While we maintain product liability insurance coverage in an amount that we believe is sufficient for our business, we cannot assure you that this coverage will prove to be adequate or will continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources.

If our security is breached, we could be subject to liability, and customers could be deterred from using our services.

Our business relies on electronic transmission of confidential patient and other information. We believe that any well-publicized compromise of our network security or a misappropriation of patient information or other data would adversely affect our reputation and would require us to devote significant financial and other resources to alleviate such problems. In addition, our existing or potential customers could be deterred from using our products and services, and we could be subject to liability and regulatory action. We could face financial loss, litigation and other liabilities to the extent that our activities or the activities of third-party contractors involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, such as patient records or credit information.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing for our future needs, our ability to respond to competitive pressures may be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our expansion, take advantage of potential acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.

If we are forced to reduce our prices, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

We may be subject to pricing pressures with respect to our future sales arising from various sources, including practices of managed care organizations, group purchasing arrangements made through government

 

27


programs such as the Regional Extension Centers, and government action affecting reimbursement levels affecting physicians, hospitals, home health professionals or any combination thereof under Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs. Our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship are affected by changes in statutes, regulations and limitations in governmental spending for Medicare, Medicaid and other programs. Recent government actions and future legislative and administrative changes could limit government spending for the Medicare and Medicaid programs, limit payments to hospitals and other providers, increase emphasis on competition, impose price controls, initiate new and expanded value-based reimbursement programs and create other programs that potentially could have an adverse effect on our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship. If our pricing experiences significant downward pressure, our business will be less profitable and our results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, because cash from sales funds some of our working capital requirements, reduced profitability could require us to raise additional capital sooner than we would otherwise need.

If we incur costs exceeding our insurance coverage in lawsuits pending against us or that are brought against us in the future, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a defendant in lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the event we are found liable in any lawsuits filed against us, and if our insurance coverage were unavailable or inadequate to satisfy these liabilities, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to license and integrate third-party technologies could harm our business.

We depend upon licenses for some of the technology used in our solutions from third-party vendors, and intend to continue licensing technologies from third parties. These technologies might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Most of these licenses can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Our inability to obtain, maintain or comply with any of these licenses could delay development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Most of our third-party licenses are non-exclusive and our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us. Our use of third-party technologies exposes us to increased risks, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into our solutions, the diversion of our resources from development of our own proprietary technology and our inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. In addition, if our vendors choose to discontinue support of the licensed technology in the future or are unsuccessful in their continued research and development efforts, we might not be able to modify or adapt our own solutions.

If we fail to maintain and expand our business with our existing customers, or to effectively transition our customers to newer products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business model depends on our success with selling follow-on and incremental products and services to our existing customers. In addition, our success with certain clients requires our achieving interoperability among the products offered by legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys in order to provide a single solution that connects healthcare providers across care settings. Also critical to our success is our ability to sell our electronic health record products to legacy MHS’ practice management customer base. Additionally, certain of our clinical solutions business unit customers initially purchase one or a limited number of our products and services. These customers might choose not to expand their use of, or purchase, additional modules. Also, as we deploy new applications and features for our existing solutions or introduce new solutions and services, our current customers

 

28


could choose not to purchase these new offerings. If we fail to generate additional business from our current customers, our revenue could grow at a slower rate or even decrease.

In addition, the transition of our existing customers to current versions of our products presents certain risks, including the risk of data loss or corruption, or delays in completion. If such events occur, our client relationships and reputation could be damaged, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Potential subsidy of services similar to ours may reduce client demand.

Federal regulations have been changed to permit subsidies from additional sources subject to certain limitations, and HITECH provides federal support for certain electronic medical record initiatives. To the extent that we or our customers do not qualify or participate in such subsidy programs, demand for our services may be reduced, which may decrease our revenues.

We currently rely on Misys for the provision of certain corporate services, but going forward we will have to rely on our own resources and personnel to operate the business.

On August 20, 2010, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Misys (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which each party will continue to provide to the other certain services and personnel to support the other’s business. The services that Misys agreed to provide to us under the Transition Services Agreement include research and development services, customer support services and information systems services, while we agreed to provide Misys with financial services and tax services. Beginning approximately six months after the date of the Transition Services Agreement, certain services formerly provided by Misys will need to be continued by either our existing or new employees, which may require us to devote time and resources to identifying, hiring and integrating individuals to perform the services formerly provided by Misys pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. If Misys fails to provide these services as required under the Transition Services Agreement, or if the Transition Services Agreement were terminated for any reason, or if we fail to obtain replacement services, we might incur significant costs to obtain replacement services.

HITECH is resulting in new business imperatives, and failure to provide our clients with health information technology systems that are “certified” under HITECH could result in breach of some client obligations and put us at a competitive disadvantage.

HITECH, which is part of ARRA, provides financial incentives for hospitals and doctors that demonstrate that they are “meaningful electronic health record users,” and mandates use of health information technology systems that are “certified” according to technical standards developed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. HITECH also imposes certain requirements upon governmental agencies to use, and requires health care providers, health plans, and insurers contracting with such agencies to use, systems that are certified according to such standards. HITECH can adversely affect our business in at least three ways. First, we have invested and continue to invest in conforming our applicable clinical software to these standards and further significant investment will be required as certification standards evolve (the full Stage 2 requirements, for instance, are still in their early stages). Second, recently signed customers and new client prospects are requiring us to agree that our software will be certified according to applicable HITECH technical standards so that, assuming clients properly use the electronic health record software and satisfy the “meaningful use” and other requirements of HITECH, they will qualify for available incentive payments. We plan to meet these requirements as part of our normal software maintenance obligations, and failure to comply could result in costly contract breach and jeopardize our relationships with clients who are relying upon us to provide certified software. Third, if for some reason we are not able to comply with these HITECH standards in a timely fashion after their issuance, our offerings will be at a severe competitive disadvantage in the market to the offerings of other electronic health record vendors who have complied.

 

29


Changes in interoperability standards applicable to our software could require us to incur substantial additional development costs.

Our clients and the industry leaders enacting regulatory requirements are concerned with and often require that our software solutions and healthcare devices be interoperable with other third party health IT suppliers. Market forces or governmental/regulatory authorities could create software interoperability standards that would apply to our solutions, and if our software solutions and/or healthcare devices are not consistent with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs. The CCHIT has developed a comprehensive set of criteria for the functionality, interoperability and security of various software modules in the health IT industry. CCHIT, however, continues to modify and refine those standards. Achieving CCHIT certification is becoming a competitive requirement, resulting in increased software development and administrative expense to conform to these requirements. These standards and specifications, once finalized, will be subject to interpretation by the entities designated to certify such technology. We will incur increased development costs in delivering solutions if we need to upgrade our software and healthcare devices to be in compliance with these varying and evolving standards, and delays may result in connection therewith. If our software solutions and healthcare devices are not consistent with these evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our software solutions and healthcare devices, although we do not expect such costs to be significant in relation to the overall development costs for our solutions.

We are subject to a number of existing laws, regulations and industry initiatives, non-compliance with certain of which could materially adversely affect our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we are susceptible to a changing regulatory environment.

As a participant in the healthcare industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our customers, are regulated by a number of federal, state and local governmental entities. The impact of this regulation on us is direct, to the extent we are ourselves subject to these laws and regulations, and is also indirect in that, in a number of situations, even though we may not be directly regulated by specific healthcare laws and regulations, our products must be capable of being used by our customers in a manner that complies with those laws and regulations. Inability of our customers to do so could affect the marketability of our products or our compliance with our customer contracts, or even expose us to direct liability under the theory that we had assisted our customers in a violation of healthcare laws or regulations. Because our business relationships with physicians are unique and the healthcare technology industry as a whole is relatively young, the application of many state and federal regulations to our business operations and to our customers is uncertain. Indeed, there are federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws and limitations on physician referrals, and laws related to distribution and marketing, including off-label promotion of prescription drugs that may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations and relationships or the business practices of our customers. It is possible that a review of our business practices or those of our customers by courts or regulatory authorities could result in a determination that could adversely affect us. In addition, the healthcare regulatory environment may change in a way that restricts our existing operations or our growth. The healthcare industry is expected to continue to undergo significant changes for the foreseeable future, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the effect of possible future legislation and regulation.

Specific risks include, but are not limited to, risks relating to:

 

   

Patient Information. As part of the operation of our business, our customers provide to us patient-identifiable medical information related to the prescription drugs that they prescribe and other aspects of patient treatment. Government and industry legislation and rulemaking, especially HIPAA, HITECH and standards and requirements published by industry groups such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, require the use of standard transactions, standard identifiers, security and other standards and requirements for the transmission of certain electronic health

information. National standards and procedures under HIPAA include the “Standards for Electronic Transactions and Code Sets” (the Transaction Standards); the “Security Standards” (the Security Standards); and the “Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information” (the Privacy Standards). The Transaction Standards require the use of specified data coding, formatting and content in all specified “Health Care Transactions” conducted electronically. The Security Standards require the adoption of specified types of security for certain patient identifiable health information (called Protected Health Information). The Privacy Standards grant a number of rights to individuals as to their Protected Health Information and restrict the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information by Covered Entities, defined as “health plans,” “health care providers, “and “health care clearinghouses.” We have reviewed our activities and believe that we are a Covered Entity to the extent that we maintain a “group health plan” for the benefit of our employees. We have taken steps we believe to be appropriate and required to bring our group health plan into compliance with HIPAA and HITECH. For our operating functions, we believe that we are a hybrid entity, with both covered and non-covered functions under HIPAA. The Payerpath portion of our business qualifies as a health care clearinghouse when it files electronic health care claims on behalf of health care providers that are subject to HIPAA and HITECH and we have instituted policies and procedures to comply with HIPAA and HITECH in that role. With respect to our other business functions, we do not believe we are a Covered Entity as a health care provider or as a health care clearinghouse; however, the definition of a health care clearinghouse is broad and we cannot offer any assurance that we could not be considered a health care clearinghouse under HIPAA or that, if we are determined to be a healthcare clearinghouse, the consequences would not be adverse to our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain provisions of the Privacy and Security Standards apply to third parties that create, access, or receive Protected Health Information in order to perform a function or activity on behalf of a Covered Entity. Such third parties are called “Business Associates.” Covered Entities must have a written “Business Associate Agreement” with such third parties, containing specified written satisfactory assurances, consistent with the Privacy and Security Standards and HITECH and its implementing regulations, that the third party will safeguard Protected Health Information that it creates or accesses and will fulfill other material obligations. Most of our customers are Covered Entities, and we function in many of our relationships as a Business Associate of those customers. We would face liability under our Business Associate Agreements and HIPAA and HITECH if we do not comply with our Business Associate obligations and applicable provisions of the Privacy and Security Standards and HITECH and its implementing regulations. The penalties for a violation of HIPAA or HITECH are significant and could have an adverse impact upon our business, financial condition and results of operations, if such penalties ever were imposed. Additionally, Covered Entities that are providers are required to adopt a unique standard National Provider Identifier, or NPI, for use in filing and processing health care claims and other transactions. Subject to the discussion set forth above, we believe that the principal effects of HIPAA are, first, to require that our systems be capable of being operated by us and our customers in a manner that is compliant with the various HIPAA standards and, second, to require us to enter into and comply with Business Associate Agreements with our Covered Entity customers. For most Covered Entities, the deadlines for compliance with the Privacy Standards and the Transaction Standards occurred in 2003. Covered Entities, with the exception of small health plans (as that term is defined by the Privacy Standards), were required to be in compliance with the Security Standards by April 20, 2005 and to use NPIs in standard transactions no later than the compliance dates, which was May 23, 2007, for all but small health plans, and May 23, 2008 for small health plans. We have policies and procedures that we believe comply with federal and state confidentiality requirements for the handling of Protected Health Information that we receive and with our obligations under Business Associate Agreements. In particular, we believe that our systems and products are capable of being used by or for our customers in compliance with the Transaction Standards and Security Standards and are capable of being used by or for our customers in compliance with the NPI requirements. If, however, we do not follow those procedures and policies, or they are not sufficient to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of Protected Health Information, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal liability, fines and lawsuits, termination of our customer contracts or our operations could be shut down. Moreover,

because all HIPAA Standards and HITECH implementing regulations and guidance are subject to change or interpretation, we cannot predict the full future impact of HIPAA or HITECH on our business and operations. In the event that the HIPAA or HITECH standards and compliance requirements change or are interpreted in a way that requires any material change to the way in which we do business, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, certain state laws are not preempted by HIPAA and HITECH and may impose independent obligations upon our customers or us. Additional legislation governing the acquisition, storage and transmission or other dissemination of health record information and other personal information, including social security numbers, has been proposed at the state level. There can be no assurance that changes to state or federal laws will not materially restrict the ability of providers to submit information from patient records using our products and services.

 

   

Electronic Prescribing. The use of our software by physicians to perform a variety of functions, including electronic prescribing (ePrescribing), which refers to the electronic routing of prescriptions to pharmacies and the ensuing dispensation, is governed by state and federal law, including fraud and abuse laws. States have differing prescription format requirements, which we have programmed into our software. Many existing laws and regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate methods of e-commerce now being developed. While federal law and the laws of many states permit the electronic transmission of certain prescription orders, the laws of several states neither specifically permit nor specifically prohibit the practice. Restrictions exist at the Federal level, however, on the use of ePrescribing for controlled substances and certain other drugs, including a new regulation enacted by the Drug Enforcement Association (DEA) in mid-2010. Given the rapid growth of electronic transactions in healthcare, and particularly the growth of the Internet, we expect many additional states to directly address these areas with regulation in the near future. In addition, on November 7, 2005, the Department of Health and Human Services published its final “E-Prescribing and the Prescription Drug Program” regulations (E-Prescribing Regulations). These regulations are required by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and became effective beginning on January 1, 2006. The E-Prescribing Regulations consist of detailed standards and requirements, in addition to the HIPAA Standard discussed above, for prescription and other information transmitted electronically in connection with a drug benefit covered by the MMA’s Prescription Drug Benefit. These standards cover not only transactions between prescribers and dispensers for prescriptions but also electronic eligibility and benefits inquiries and drug formulary and benefit coverage information. The standards apply to prescription drug plans participating in the MMA’s Prescription Drug Benefit. Other rules governing ePrescribing apply to other areas of Medicare and to Medicaid. The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) authorized a new and separate incentive program for individual eligible professionals who are successful electronic prescribers as defined by MIPPA. This incentive program is separate from and is in addition to the quality reporting incentive program authorized by Division B of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006—Medicare Improvements and Extension Act of 2006 and which is known as the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI). Eligible professionals do not need to participate in PQRI to participate in the ePrescribing Incentive Program, and both programs remain in effect in 2011 assuming compliance with certain requirements. To the extent that these new initiatives and regulations foster the accelerated adoption of ePrescribing and Allscripts is a leader in the ePrescribing space, our business benefits from these incentive programs. But, HITECH is the most prominent incentive program since its passage, reducing the impact the MIPPA and PQRA programs have in spurring greater adoption of ePrescribing or other health information technology. Moreover, regulations in this area impose certain requirements which can be burdensome and evolve regularly, meaning that any potential benefits may be reversed by a newly-promulgated regulation that adversely affects our business model. Aspects of our clinical products are affected by such regulation because of the need of our customers to comply, as discussed above. Compliance with these regulations could be burdensome, time-consuming and expensive. We also are subject, as discussed above, to future legislation and regulations concerning the development and marketing of healthcare software systems or requirements related to product functionality. These could increase the cost and time necessary to market new services and could affect us in other respects not presently foreseeable.

Electronic Health Records. A number of important federal and state laws govern the use and content of electronic health record systems, including fraud and abuse laws that may affect the donation of such technology. As a company that provides electronic health record systems to a variety of providers of healthcare, our systems and services must be designed in a manner that facilitates our customers’ compliance with these laws. Because this is a topic of increasing state and federal regulation, we continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments that might affect our business practices as they relate to electronic health record systems, revenue cycle management systems, ePrescribing and others. We cannot predict the content or effect of possible future regulation on our business practices. Also, as described above under “Risks Related to Our Business,” our Sunrise Enterprise suite of solutions, Allscripts ED, Allscripts Enterprise EHR, Allscripts Professional EHR, Allscripts MyWay EHR and PeakPractice EHR are all certified by an ONC-approved certifying body as meeting the standards for functionality, interoperability and security under the HITECH Act. Our failure to maintain this certification or otherwise meet industry standards would adversely impact our business.

 

   

Claims Transmission. Our system electronically transmits claims for prescription medications dispensed by physicians to patients’ payers for immediate approval and reimbursement. Federal law provides that it is both a civil and a criminal violation for any person to submit, or cause to be submitted, a claim to any payer, including, without limitation, Medicare, Medicaid and all private health plans and managed care plans, seeking payment for any services or products that overbills or bills for items that have not been provided to the patient. We have in place policies and procedures that we believe assure that all claims that are transmitted by our system are accurate and complete, provided that the information given to us by our customers is also accurate and complete. If, however, we do not follow those procedures and policies, or they are not sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims from being submitted, we could be subject to liability. As discussed above, the HIPAA Transaction Standards and the HIPAA Security Standards also affect our claims transmission services, since those services must be structured and provided in a way that supports our customers’ HIPAA compliance obligations. Furthermore, to the extent that there is some type of security breach, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

   

Medical Devices. Certain computer software products are regulated as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. On February 15, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule classifying Medical Device Data Systems from Class III to Class I medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We will evaluate what effect, if any, the rule has on our products. To the extent that any of our products meet the definition of a Medical Device Data System, we, as a manufacturer of such products, would be required to register and list our products with the FDA. In addition, Medical Device Data System products would be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act’s general controls, including those relating to good manufacturing practices and adverse event reporting. The FDA can impose extensive requirements governing product design controls and quality assurance processes. Failure to comply with FDA requirements can result in criminal and civil fines and penalties, product seizure, injunction, and civil monetary policies—each of which could have an adverse effect on our business. The FDA may become increasingly active in regulating computer software intended for use in healthcare settings. Depending on the product, we could be required to notify the FDA and demonstrate substantial equivalence to other products on the market before marketing such products or obtain FDA approval by demonstrating safety and effectiveness before marketing a product. Depending on the intended use of a device, the FDA could require us to obtain extensive data from clinical studies to demonstrate safety or effectiveness or substantial equivalence. If the FDA requires these data, we could be required to obtain approval of an investigational device exemption before undertaking clinical trials. Clinical trials can take extended periods of time to complete. We cannot provide assurances that the FDA will approve or clear a device after the completion of such trials. In addition, these products would be subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act’s general controls. The FDA can impose extensive requirements governing pre- and post-market conditions like approval, labeling and manufacturing.

 

33


Additionally, recently enacted public laws reforming the U.S. healthcare system may have an impact on our business. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590; Public Law 111-148) (“PPACA”) and The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) (the “Reconciliation Act”), which amends the PPACA (collectively the “Health Reform Laws”), were signed into law in March 2010. The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions which may impact us and our customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact by implementing reimbursement programs that reward providers for patient-centered, health IT-dependent activities (e.g., Accountable Care Organizations), for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including us.

Increased government involvement in healthcare could adversely affect our business.

U.S. healthcare system reform at both the federal and state level, could increase government involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates and otherwise change the business environment of our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship. We cannot predict whether or when future healthcare reform initiatives at the federal or state level or other initiatives affecting our business will be proposed, enacted or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our customers and the other entities with which we have a business relationship could react to these initiatives and the uncertainty surrounding these proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including those for our products and services. Additionally, the government has signaled increased enforcement activity targeting healthcare fraud and abuse, which could adversely impact our business, either directly or indirectly. To the extent that our customers, most of whom are providers, may be affected by this increased enforcement environment, our business could correspondingly be affected. Additionally, government regulation could alter the clinical workflow of physicians, hospitals and other healthcare participants, thereby limiting the utility of our products and services to existing and potential customers and curtailing broad acceptance of our products and services. Further examples of government involvement could include requiring the standardization of technology relating to electronic health records, providing customers with incentives to adopt electronic health record solutions or developing a low-cost government sponsored electronic health record solution, such as the VistA-Office electronic health record. Additionally, certain safe harbors to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and corresponding exceptions to the federal Stark law may alter the competitive landscape. These safe harbors and exceptions are intended to accelerate the adoption of electronic prescription systems and electronic health records systems, and therefore provide new and attractive opportunities for us to work with hospitals and other donors who wish to provide our solutions to physicians. At the same time, such safe harbors and exceptions may result in increased competition from providers of acute electronic health record solutions, whose hospital customers may seek to donate their existing acute electronic health record solutions to physicians for use in ambulatory settings.

If the electronic healthcare information market fails to develop as quickly as expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The electronic healthcare information market is in the early stages of development and is rapidly evolving. A number of market entrants have introduced or developed products and services that are competitive with one or more components of the solutions we offer. We expect that additional companies will continue to enter this market, especially in response to recent government subsidies. In new and rapidly evolving industries, there is significant uncertainty and risk as to the demand for, and market acceptance of, recently introduced products and services. Because the markets for our products and services are new and evolving, we are not able to predict the size and growth rate of the markets with any certainty. We cannot assure you that markets for our products and services will develop or that, if they do, they will be strong and continue to grow at a sufficient pace. If markets fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

 

34


Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many healthcare industry participants are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours will become more intense, and the importance of establishing relationships with key industry participants will become greater. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Further, consolidation of management and billing services through integrated delivery systems may decrease demand for our products. If we were forced to reduce our prices, our business would become less profitable unless we were able to achieve corresponding reductions in our expenses.

Business disruptions could affect our operating results.

A significant portion of our research and development activities and certain other critical business operations are concentrated in a few geographic areas. We are a highly automated business and a disruption or failure of our systems could cause delays in completing sales and providing services. A major earthquake, fire or other catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our future operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our International Business Strategy

Our growing operations in India expose us to risks that could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have a significant workforce employed in India engaged in a broad range of development, support and corporate infrastructure activities that are integral to our business and critical to our profitability. Further, while there are certain cost advantages to operating in India, significant growth in the technology sector in India has increased competition to attract and retain skilled employees with commensurate increases in compensation costs. In the future, we may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for hiring experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, our operations in India require ongoing capital investments and expose us to foreign currency fluctuations, which may significantly reduce or negate any cost benefit anticipated from such expansion.

In addition, our reliance on a workforce in India exposes us to disruptions in the business, political and economic environment in that region. Maintenance of a stable political environment is important to our operations, and terrorist attacks and acts of violence or war may directly affect our physical facilities and workforce or contribute to general instability. Our operations in India may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls, as well as other factors that may adversely affect our operations.

Our business strategy includes expansion into markets outside North America, which will require increased expenditures and if our international operations are not successfully implemented, such expansion may cause our operating results and reputation to suffer.

We are working to expand operations in markets outside North America. There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful. We have limited experience in marketing, selling, implementing and supporting our software abroad. Expansion of our international sales and operations will require a significant amount of attention from our management, establishment of service delivery and support capabilities to handle that business and commensurate financial resources, and will subject us to risks and challenges that we would not face if we conducted our business only in the United States. We may not generate sufficient revenues from international business to cover these expenses.

 

35


The risks and challenges associated with operations outside the United States may include: the need to modify our software to satisfy local requirements and standards, including associated expenses and time delays; laws and business practices favoring local competitors; compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including healthcare, employment, tax, privacy, healthcare information technology, and data and intellectual property protection laws and regulations; laws regulating exports of technology products from the United States; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; difficulties in setting up foreign operations, including recruiting staff and management; and longer accounts receivable payment cycles and other collection difficulties. One or more of these requirements and risks may preclude us from operating in some markets.

Foreign operations subject us to numerous stringent U.S. and foreign laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and comparable foreign laws and regulations that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. As we expand our international operations, there is some risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors, which could constitute a violation by Eclipsys of various laws including the FCPA, even though such parties are not always subject to our control. Safeguards we implement to discourage these practices may prove to be less than effective and violations of the FCPA and other laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, including class action law suits and enforcement actions from the SEC, Department of Justice and overseas regulators.

Foreign operations present certain additional risks, including:

 

   

the general economic and political conditions existing in those countries;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing our foreign offices, and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal and compliance costs associated with multiple international locations;

 

   

devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

 

   

imposition of limitations on conversion of foreign currencies or remittance of dividends and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

 

   

imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

 

   

imposition or increase of investment and other restrictions by foreign governments;

 

   

longer payment cycles; and

 

   

greater difficulties in accounts receivable collection.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock that we may issue and our ability to raise funds in new securities offerings.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. As of February 15, 2011, we had approximately:

 

   

189 million shares of common stock outstanding;

 

   

7 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $10.08 per share); and

 

   

4 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance to settle outstanding restricted stock units.

 

36


In connection with our acquisition strategy, we may issue shares of our common stock as consideration in other acquisition transactions. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale will have on the trading price of our common stock.

Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of our common stock and discourage a takeover.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1 million shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights (except that shares of preferred stock may not have more than one vote per share), dividend rights, preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends or in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up and other terms. In the event that we issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our common stock with respect to payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock that is convertible into our common stock at greater than a one-to-one ratio, the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our stockholders may impede a takeover of us and prevent a transaction favorable to the holders of our common stock.

Other provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or inhibit potential acquisition bids that stockholders may believe are desirable, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.

Our charter documents include an election to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the DGCL, which prohibits us from engaging in any business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years from the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions are met. These provisions will make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to acquire us without negotiation and may apply even if some of our stockholders consider the proposed transaction beneficial to them. These provisions could also limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Our charter documents also contain provisions that may delay or inhibit potential acquisition bids, including provisions that:

 

   

our stockholders are not allowed to act by written consent; and

 

   

our stockholders are not allowed to call a special meeting of stockholders.

Our goodwill, which increased significantly as a result of the 2008 Transactions and the Eclipsys Merger, could become impaired and adversely affect our net worth and the market value of our common stock.

Under the purchase method of accounting, our assets and liabilities were recorded, as of completion of the 2008 Transactions, at their respective fair values and added to those of Misys, which are carried at their book values. The purchase price for the 2008 Transactions was allocated to legacy Allscripts’ tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the 2008 Transactions. The excess of $331 million of such price over those fair values has been recorded as goodwill.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price paid in the Eclipsys Merger was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent management’s best estimate of fair value. Goodwill of $624 million was based on the residual difference between the purchase price and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill were Eclipsys’ history of profitability and high operating margins, strong sales force and overall employee base, and position in the healthcare information technology market.

 

37


Goodwill and other acquired intangibles expected to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows are not amortized, but must be evaluated by management at least annually for impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, impairment is deemed to have occurred and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. Under GAAP, this would result in a charge to our operating earnings. Accordingly, any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill could have a material impact on our operating results.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to evaluate annually the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, we can make no assurance that we will be able to conclude in the future that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Additionally, if our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal controls over financial reporting or the level at which these controls are documented, designed, operated, tested or assessed, or if our independent registered public accounting firm interprets the requirements, rules or regulations differently than we do, then it may issue an adverse opinion. If we fail to maintain a system of effective internal controls, it could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by NASDAQ, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.

The market price of our common stock is volatile and could fluctuate significantly in response to the factors described above and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

   

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by our competitors or us;

 

   

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 

   

conditions and trends in the electronic healthcare information, Internet, e-commerce and pharmaceutical markets; and

 

   

general market conditions and other factors.

In addition, the stock markets, especially The NASDAQ Global Select Market, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and Internet-related companies in particular. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. These broad market factors may materially affect the trading price of our common stock. General economic, political and market conditions such as recessions and interest rate fluctuations may also have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Volatility in the market price for our common stock may result in the filing of securities class action litigation.

Our quarterly operating results may vary.

Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past, and we expect that our quarterly operating results will continue to vary in future periods depending on a number of factors, some of which we have no control over, including customers’ budgetary constraints and internal acceptance procedures, seasonal variances in demand for our products and services, the sales, service and implementation cycles for our software products, potential downturns in the healthcare market and in economic conditions generally, and other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.

 

38


We base our expense levels in part upon our expectations concerning future revenue, and these expense levels are relatively fixed in the short term. If we have lower revenue than expected, we may not be able to reduce our spending in the short term in response. Any shortfall in revenue would have a direct impact on our results of operations. In addition, our product sales cycle for larger sales is lengthy and unpredictable, making it difficult to estimate our future bookings for any given period. If we do not achieve projected booking targets for a given period, securities analysts may change their recommendations on our common stock. For these and other reasons, we may not meet the earnings estimates of securities analysts or investors, and our stock price could suffer.

Our indebtedness will decrease business flexibility and increase borrowing costs.

As of December 31, 2010, $489,125 in borrowings and $1,921 in letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The covenants in such indebtedness and the increased indebtedness and higher debt-to-equity ratio in comparison to our debt-to-equity ratio on a recent historical basis could have the effect, among other things, of:

 

   

requiring us to apply a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

 

   

increasing our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions;

 

   

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in business and the industry in which we operate;

 

   

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt; and

 

   

limiting our ability to borrow additional funds on terms that are satisfactory or at all.

If we fail to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities, our results of operation and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our credit facilities contain certain financial covenants, including interest coverage and total leverage ratios. If we fail to comply with these covenants, an event of default may occur, resulting in, among other things, the requirement to immediately repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder. Depending on borrowing levels in such an event, our liquid assets might not be sufficient to repay in full the debt outstanding under the credit facilities. Such an acceleration also would expose us to the risk of liquidation of collateral assets at unfavorable prices.

Coniston, Inc. (which changed its name to Coniston Exchange LLC) may be liable for significant potential contingent tax liabilities arising out of the Misys Transactions and certain related transactions, or out of prior activities of Coniston Exchange LLC unrelated to those transactions.

Coniston, Inc. (which changed its name to Coniston Exchange LLC), a Delaware limited liability company acquired by us in exchange for approximately 61.3 million shares of our common stock issued to subsidiaries of Misys (which transaction we refer to as the Exchange), might be subject to significant taxes, which we refer to as Transaction Taxes, arising out of the Exchange, certain share repurchases by us from subsidiaries of Misys and certain related restructuring transactions, which we refer to collectively as the Misys Transactions. In particular, the Exchange or other Misys Transactions might have resulted in the recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our shares of common stock held by Coniston Exchange LLC, which is significant. At the time of the Exchange, Coniston Exchange LLC held approximately 61.3 million shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Misys agreed to indemnify us against any Transaction Taxes imposed on Coniston Exchange LLC. On November 3, 2010, Coniston Exchange LLC received a letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, in response to a request submitted to the IRS by Misys on August 9, 2010. The letter ruling confirms, in effect, that the Misys Transactions will not result in the recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our shares of common stock held by Coniston Exchange LLC, and addresses certain other tax issues related to the Misys Transactions.

 

39


The ability to rely on any letter ruling depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted to the IRS, which was primarily determined by Misys as the party that requested the letter ruling from the IRS. If any factual statements or representations submitted to the IRS were incorrect or untrue in any material respect, the letter ruling could be invalidated. As a result, no assurances can be given that our ability to rely on the letter ruling could not be challenged, in which case we would be required to rely on Misys’ indemnification obligation and ability to satisfy such indemnification obligation. Additionally, while the letter ruling addresses the material tax issues related to the Misys Transactions, not all issues were addressed. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Misys has also agreed to indemnify us against any contingent tax liability of Coniston Exchange LLC other than Transaction Taxes, such as taxes imposed as a result of prior activities of Coniston Exchange LLC, which we refer to as Historic Taxes, and Misys provided a bank guarantee in the amount of $45 million to support that indemnification obligation. The amount of the bank guarantee might be insufficient to fully cover Historic Taxes that might be imposed. Furthermore, although not expected, there could be circumstances in which the bank guarantee is reduced or terminated prior to the extinguishment of the resulting tax liabilities.

Misys also has agreed to indemnify us from taxes imposed on us as a result of the Exchange and from taxes imposed on us relating to certain withholding taxes, including any liability for failing to withhold certain taxes. Those indemnification obligations are not supported by a bank guarantee.

(1) Results of operations for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 include the results of operations of Eclipsys for the period subsequent to the completion of the merger, August 24, 2010 and reflect costs associated with the Eclipsys Merger, Coniston Transactions and other integration-related costs totaling $57,036. Results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2009 include the results of operations of legacy MHS for the full year ended May 31, 2009 and the results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included from the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Since the 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. Results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 are the results of operations of legacy MHS only.
(2) For the years ended May 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the basic and diluted share count includes only the shares issued to Misys in connection with the 2008 Transactions. MHS did not have any shares outstanding prior to the merger, and therefore, the basic and diluted share count is comprised of the Allscripts shares issued on the October 10, 2008 acquisition date for all periods prior to the acquisition date as this reflects the Allscripts shares equivalent of MHS equity prior to the acquisition.
(3) On March 16, 2009, Allscripts closed on the sale of its prepackaged medications business to A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). The results of operations for fiscal 2009 include the prepackaged medications business from the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through the March 16, 2009 closing of its sale to A-S. The prepackaged medications business has not been disclosed as discontinued operations due to Allscripts’ continued involvement with A-S through a separate Marketing Agreement.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with “Selected Financial Data”, our consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes to these financial statements, and the other financial information that appears elsewhere in this Transition Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated statements of operations data and the consolidated statements of cash flows data for the seven months ended December 31, 2009 are derived from unaudited comparative financial results.

Overview

Eclipsys Merger

On August 24, 2010, Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (which changed its name to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., “Allscripts” or the “Company”) completed the merger (the “Eclipsys Merger”) contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 9, 2010 (“Merger Agreement”) by and among Allscripts, Arsenal Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts, and Eclipsys Corporation, an enterprise provider of solutions and services to hospitals and clinicians (“Eclipsys”). Eclipsys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts as a result of the merger. The results of Eclipsys are consolidated with the results of Allscripts from August 24, 2010.

Misys Merger

On October 10, 2008, in accordance with the transactions (the “2008 Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 by and among Misys plc (“Misys”), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“legacy Allscripts”), Misys Healthcare Systems (“MHS” or “legacy MHS”) and Patriot Merger Company, LLC (“Patriot”) a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes was completed that consisted of (i) the cash payment to legacy Allscripts by an affiliate of Misys of approximately $330,000 and (ii) the merger of Patriot with and into MHS, with MHS being the surviving company. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy Allscripts and the newly combined entity was renamed Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, Allscripts issued an aggregate of 82,886 shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock. The 2008 Transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under the purchase method of accounting, with MHS as the accounting “acquirer,” the assets and liabilities of legacy Allscripts were recorded, as of October 10, 2008, at their fair values and added to those of MHS, which are carried at their book values.

Basis of Presentation

The merger with Eclipsys has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The operating results of Eclipsys are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the completion of the merger, August 24, 2010.

The 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. As such, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. The results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the date of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008.

On August 23, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a change of fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. As a result of this change, Allscripts is filing this transition report on Form 10-K for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 (“Transition Period”). Unaudited comparative financial results are provided for the seven months ended December 31, 2009.

Business Overview

Allscripts is a leading provider of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions and related professional services that empower hospitals, physicians and post-acute organizations to deliver world-class outcomes. Our businesses provide innovative solutions that inform physicians and other healthcare professionals with just-right, just-in-time information, connect them to each other and to the entire community of care, and transform healthcare, improving both the quality and efficiency of care. We provide various clinical software applications for hospitals, physician practices and post-acute organizations, including acute care and ambulatory Electronic Health Records (EHR), physician practice management, revenue cycle management for hospitals and physicians, clearinghouse services, electronic prescribing, stand-alone Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) (in addition to our EDIS integrated, hospital care management and discharge management solutions, document imaging solutions), and a variety of solutions for home care and other post-acute organizations. We have reported our financial results utilizing four business segments: clinical solutions, hospital solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications. The hospital solutions segment is a new segment established to capture the operating results of the former legacy Eclipsys business. On March 16, 2009, we disposed of our prepackaged medications business and, as a result, will, in respect of future periods, report financial results in our three remaining segments, clinical solutions, hospital solutions and health solutions.

Our ambulatory solutions for physician practices include our Enterprise EHR and practice management (PM) solution for large physician practices and Integrated Delivery Networks; our Professional EHR and PM solution for mid-size primary care and single specialty practices; and the Allscripts MyWay EHR and PM solution for smaller or independent physician practices. Our award-winning EHR solutions are designed to enhance physician productivity using tablet PCs, wireless handheld devices and smartphones, or desktop workstations for the purpose of automating the most common physician activities, including prescribing, dictating, ordering lab tests and viewing results, documenting clinical encounters and capturing charges, among others. Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is an integrated component of every Allscripts EHR but we also offer a web-based stand-alone e-prescribing solution free-of-charge to any licensed prescriber.

Our practice management solutions combine scheduling, billing and revenue cycle management tools in a single package with functionality including rules-based appointment scheduling, multi-resource and recurring appointment features, referral and eligibility indicators, and appointment and claims management. Our web-based clearinghouse solutions are available on a stand-alone basis or integrated into our practice management solutions.

Our acute solutions for hospitals and health systems include integrated enterprise solutions that provide clinical, revenue cycle and performance management software for use by physicians, nurses and other members across a healthcare organization’s team. Sunrise Enterprise is the Allscripts software family of solutions, including the following clinical, access, financial and departmental solutions which together form a full acute-care EHR: 1) Sunrise Clinical Manager, which includes the major integrated applications Sunrise Acute Care, Sunrise Ambulatory Care (an EHR for hospital-employed physicians), Sunrise Critical Care, Sunrise Emergency Care and Sunrise Pharmacy, in addition to related modules and capabilities, such as Knowledge-Based Charting, Knowledge-Based Medication Administration and others. Sunrise Clinical Manager enables a physician or other authorized clinician to view patient data and conduct computerized physician order entry (CPOE) quickly at the point of care, from virtually any other point in the enterprise or through secure remote access, providing evidence-based clinical decision support at the time of order entry; 2) Sunrise Access Manager, which shares the Sunrise Clinical Manager platform and health data repository and includes Sunrise Enterprise Scheduling and Sunrise Enterprise Registration, enabling healthcare providers to identify a patient at any time within a healthcare organization and to collect and maintain patient information on an enterprise-wide basis; 3) Sunrise Patient

 

46


Financials, which provides centralized enterprise-wide business office capabilities that help healthcare organizations improve financial workflows and more effectively manage their patient billing, accounts receivable, and contract management functions, helping to reduce costs for this important function and maximize and accelerate appropriate reimbursements from patients and other parties.

Our acute solutions also include the Enterprise Performance Management solution suite, a grouping of our executive tools that support direct patient care-related activities, as well as operational performance management. Allscripts performance management solutions for hospitals and health systems focus on three critical areas: financial decision support; hospital patient flow and throughput; and clinical analytics. These solutions bring together integrated data from across the enterprise to analyze dependencies, trends and patterns, bottlenecks and areas of concern from a high level, down to the individual patient, clinician or resource. The Enterprise Performance Management Suite includes: 1) Sunrise EPSi, a fully integrated, web-based solution that provides integrated analytics, budgeting and knowledge-based decision support designed to bring together all the major components of financial management—strategic planning, product line budgeting, cost accounting, and operational and capital budgeting—to plan more effectively and accurately for the future and address the financial challenges facing healthcare organizations today; 2) Sunrise Patient Flow, which gives hospitals effective management and visibility of patients’ movements throughout the enterprise enabling hospital management to identify bottlenecks and operational constraints and better coordinate resources to optimize patient flow; 3) Sunrise Clinical Analytics, an advanced clinical business intelligence solution that enables organizations to effectively track and measure clinical performance and identify how clinician actions impact outcomes, helping organizations to monitor and improve performance related to core measures, hospital-acquired complications and other quality initiatives.

Other clinical and ancillary solutions for the acute market include Sunrise Record Manager, a health information management (HIM) solution that automates the workflow associated with the collection, maintenance and distribution of information to maximize EHR benefits, helping hospitals better meet regulatory reporting requirements; Sunrise Laboratory, which helps high-volume hospital laboratories improve operational performance by automating laboratory workflow from end to end, with decision-making and reporting driven by real-time clinical information; and Sunrise Radiology, a comprehensive radiology information system, and the Sunrise PACS picture archiving and communications system (the latter powered by Sectra), which can be implemented together, separately, or as part of an image-enabled clinical information system to deliver imaging data as an integrated part of the overall patient record accessible using any Sunrise Enterprise-enabled device.

In October, 2010, Allscripts introduced Sunrise Mobile MD, a new mobile solution that offers physicians greater control of the patient encounter on an Apple iPhone® or iPod touch®. Sunrise Mobile MD is built on Helios by Allscripts, the company’s industry-defining open platform to enable proprietary, native integration with the Sunrise Enterprise 5.5 suite. Physicians using the Allscripts iPhone application gain direct access to and from the Sunrise Enterprise EHR enabling them to remotely monitor their hospitalized patients.

Our acute solutions also include offerings for hospitals that are seeking a stand-alone Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) and care management solutions, as well as post-acute facilities such as home health providers, hospices and skilled nursing facilities. Allscripts ED is an EDIS that electronically streamlines processes for hospital Emergency Departments, including tracking, triage, nurse and physician charting, disposition and reporting. EmSTAT, a legacy EDIS product, offers similar functionality for streamlining the Emergency Department care process in small hospitals. Allscripts Care Management is a web-based solution that streamlines and speeds the patient care management process by automating utilization, case, discharge and quality management processes relating to patient hospital visits. Allscripts post-acute solutions include: Referral Management, Referral Management Plus, and Allscripts Mobile. These solutions streamline the transition of care process between hospitals and post-acute care facilities. Our solution for home health providers is an integrated system that combines business, clinical, and scheduling features into a single package, providing home health, hospice, and private duty organizations with a user friendly product that enables staff to work more effectively both inside and outside the office.

Related to the implementation and use of our software, we also offer 1) professional services, 2) remote hosting, and 3) information technology outsourcing of software from Allscripts and from a number of third-parties. Our professional services are associated with the implementation of our software, the conversion and integration of clients’ historical data into our software and systems, ongoing training and support in the use of our software, and consulting services to help clients improve their operations. The Allscripts Speed to Value methodology helps our clients quickly achieve value from their investment in Allscripts solutions through accelerated software installation and systems configuration. Our remote hosting services help our clients manage their complex healthcare IT solutions infrastructure while freeing up physical space, resources and costs associated with maintaining computer servers and deploying client-based applications on-site. Under this offering, we assume responsibility for processing Allscripts and/or non-Allscripts applications for our clients using equipment and personnel at our facilities. Other remote services, such as remote monitoring and remote help desk, are also offered. Software installation, upgrades and patches and network configuration and repairs are handled by Allscripts IT professionals behind the scenes, so hospital IT departments can focus on more strategic initiatives. Our information technology outsourcing provides full, partial or transitional IT outsourcing services to our clients. This service allows healthcare organizations to concentrate on their core mission while leveraging our knowledge of healthcare processes and proven healthcare IT methodologies to build and manage an IT infrastructure that helps organizations derive value from their technology investments. We assume partial to total responsibility for a healthcare organization’s IT operations using our employees and assets. These services may also include facilities management, remote hosting and/or other remote services to help our clients to minimize the capital investment involved in staffing and maintaining its IT operations.

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). Also at that time, Allscripts entered into a five-year marketing agreement (the “Marketing Agreement”) with A-S which requires that Allscripts provide various marketing services to A-S for compensation of $900 per quarter over the five year term for a total of approximately $18,000. Allscripts has continuing obligations requiring substantive performance under the Marketing Agreement, including the use of the Allscripts trade name, promotion of the products and service offerings of A-S with existing and future Allscripts’ customers, participation in the development and promotion of joint marketing materials, sharing of certain customer and sales lead information, and other related marketing service obligations. In October 2010, the Marketing Agreement was amended to reflect a reduction of total contractual fees due by $4,600 and the acceleration of payment of the reduced fees. As of December 31, 2010, $5,000 remains to be paid under the amended Marketing Agreement. This amount will be paid to Allscripts over five monthly installments of $1,000 through May 31, 2011. Additionally, after May 31, 2011 Allscripts will no longer have any continuing obligations under the Marketing Agreement. There was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment prior to the 2008 Transactions, as this was a legacy Allscripts segment. As a result of the Meds Agreement, there was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment during fiscal year 2010 and subsequent periods.

We principally derive our revenue and cash flow from sales of our proprietary software and related hardware and professional services in the segments described above. These sales also are the basis for our complementary recurring service contracts for maintenance and transaction processing. See below for a discussion of our outlook for new orders and other factors that could have an impact on our revenue and cash flows.

We believe a combination of executive and legislative leadership at the federal level, industry standards, and federal incentives that exist today for e-prescribing and pay-for-quality initiatives, will quickly make electronic health records as common as practice management systems in all provider offices. We believe the stimulus and other provisions provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Stimulus”) will be the single biggest driver of healthcare IT adoption in our industry’s history since the requirement of electronic claims submissions. We believe that we are well positioned in the market to take advantage of the material opportunity presented by the Stimulus and have seen a positive impact on new orders, particularly in our Enterprise products. However, we believe that the impact on new orders related to the Stimulus have been tempered by continued

uncertainty around the Stimulus and related funding requirements and also due to the challenging economic conditions which have motivated customers and prospective customers to defer capital investments, conserve cash and move towards software subscription arrangements versus traditional licensing arrangements. We believe that the continuation of these challenging economic conditions and uncertainty around the Stimulus may continue until physicians and hospitals begin receiving the first stimulus payments in 2011. Additionally, we face the following other material opportunities, challenges and risks related to the Stimulus, which are further described below: (i) developing adequate capacity to satisfy the potential increased demand; (ii) ensuring that all of our products obtain applicable product certifications and our customers are able to achieve “meaningful use” as required by the Stimulus; (iii) taking advantage of demand trends; and (iv) positioning the Company as a provider to potential government-funded health care providers.

Management has taken steps to position the Company to have what we believe will be adequate capacity to meet the significant additional demand that could result from new orders related to the Stimulus. These steps include supplementing our internal direct sales force with strategic distribution partners with established sales forces focused on practices with one to five providers. Further, we have taken steps to improve the efficiency of our approach to new system installations. Recently, the Company launched its “Ready” implementation program, which standardizes certain key processes across customer sites and decreases the number of hours required by our professional services team to enable installations of our clinical and practice management solutions. This strategy is predicated on repeatable, best practice workflows and was designed collaboratively by our services and development teams and is proprietary to the Company. Early results indicate that the Ready program has significantly reduced installation timeframes for an initial portion of our client base. Finally, the Company is exploring additional sources of potential capacity to complement its internal professional services organization through various third-party implementation alternatives in order to meet additional market demand.

In order for our customers to qualify for Stimulus funding, our products must meet various requirements for product certification under the Stimulus regulations, and must enable our customers to achieve “meaningful use,” as such term is currently defined under the July 28, 2010 CMS Final Rule and under any future Stimulus regulations and guidance that CMS may release. The CMS Final Rule provides for a phased approach to implementation of the meaningful use standards, with Stage 1 set forth in the proposed rule and Stages 2 and 3 reserved for future rulemaking based upon the experiences with Stage 1. Also, an interim final rule has been implemented by the Office of National Coordinator, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to adopt an initial set of standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria to enhance the use of health information technology and support its meaningful use. Given that CMS will release future regulations related to electronic health records, our industry is presented with a challenge in preparing for compliance. Similarly, our ability to achieve product certification by CCHIT and/or other regulatory bodies, and the length, if any, of additional related development and other efforts required to meet meaningful use standards could materially impact our ability to maximize the market opportunity. Our Allscripts Professional EHR version 9.0 and Allscripts PeakPractice EHR version 5.5 were certified as 2011/2012 compliant and as Complete EHRs on September 30 and October 29, respectively, by CCHIT in accordance with the applicable eligible provider certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Allscripts ED Version 6.3 Release 4 was certified 2011/2012 compliant and as an EHR Module on Sept. 30, 2010 by CCHIT, in accordance with the applicable hospital certification criteria of HHS. The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under ARRA. Currently, given the maturity of our products, management does not believe the incremental development effort, if any, required for our remaining acute care and ambulatory EHRs to meet the final meaningful use standards, as set in the July 28, 2010 CMS Final Rule, will be significant. Management has made product development a strategic focus, with development funding expected to be as high as 10% of revenues this calendar year. Management has also positioned the current product portfolio to achieve certification in time for our customers to take maximum advantage of the Stimulus incentives offered to physicians under ARRA.

The market for acute care solutions is highly competitive. Sales cycles can occur over an extended period of time and require hospitals to secure external funding to finance their purchases of new clinical information systems. Several companies that we compete with are privately held which can provide certain advantages in capturing new client relationships. In addition, the market has increasingly moved toward adoption of integrated solutions that connect various venues of care including hospitals, physician offices, clinics, laboratories, post-acute facilities and other care delivery settings. The merger of Allscripts and Eclipsys was meant to respond to these emerging market dynamics by providing a full complement of solutions across the community of care. However other vendors may be better known or be perceived as a more integrated solutions provider currently. The company has product integration plans that demonstrate the future direction for integrated solutions as well as current efforts that illustrate interoperability in common client settings. However, it will take time and resources to complete the product integration plan to meet current and evolving market demand for such solutions.

In addition, implementation of clinical systems in hospitals is a highly complex undertaking and can take longer to complete than originally planned. While the company believes it has established itself as a leading provider of computerized physician order entry and related solutions, the complexities of individual health systems, local health care environments, native IT environments and other factors can extend implementation times and result in delays.

We are currently experiencing different demand trends between large and small physician practices, as well as a trend towards community-based purchasing decisions. Management believes that the federal Stimulus has resulted in additional related new orders for our Enterprise EHR products, primarily from larger physician practices, and expects this to remain the case in the short term. Management believes this is because these larger physician practices, as a function of their size and complexity, generally require longer installation periods and may take more lead time to satisfy meaningful use requirements as required by the Stimulus in order to qualify for funding. Therefore, these practices are motivated to begin the buying process as early as possible in order to implement EHR systems and meet the requirements on a timely basis, to take advantage of the Stimulus funding.

We believe small physician offices may defer EHR buying decisions due to a number of factors. First is the scarcity of capital, which defers decision making until such time as Stimulus funding is available. We have seen greater demand in small physician offices for subscription based arrangements as opposed to pure licensing arrangements, which reflects a motivation to reduce capital outlays. This shift to subscription from license (which is the manner in which we have traditionally sold our Professional offering) will result in recurring revenue over a longer period of time than we have achieved historically, as opposed to revenue recognized on license fees. Second, these offices typically require less time to implement and train than larger offices, so the need to plan implementations well in advance is not as acute as in larger physician organizations.

We have also seen an evolution of buying decisions toward an increase in local community-based buying activity whereby individual hospitals, health systems and integrated delivery networks are subsidizing the purchase of EHR licenses or related services for their affiliated physicians in order to leverage buying power and take advantage of the Stimulus across their employed physician base. This activity has also resulted in a “pull-through” effect where smaller practices affiliated with the community hospital are also incentivized to participate so the subsidizing health system can expand connectivity within the local provider community and optimize its referral base. This pull-through effect has resulted in new orders for our Professional EHR and our MyWay offering. Management believes that the focus on new orders driven by the federal Stimulus program and related to Enterprise EHR and community-related activity will continue in the near term, with additional activity increasing for our Professional EHR products as we move closer to calendar 2011, the first year for disbursement of Stimulus-based funding by the federal government. The associated challenge facing our management is to successfully position and sell our products to the hospital, health system or integrated delivery network that is subsidizing its affiliated physicians.

The vast majority of our acute care and ambulatory customers will be focused on ARRA in 2011. As a result, much of our professional services deployment capacity will be focused on helping our customers upgrade

 

50


to the most current release of our EHR products that are certified as meeting initial “meaningful use” requirements as well as implement any additional modules required to achieve “meaningful use.” Our professional services margins could be impacted as we supplement our staff with third party resources to help meet the demand. We expect this trend to continue into the near future as ARRA Stage 2 requirements are defined and customers react to such requirements.

Management has also dedicated senior level resources toward developing our capability to take advantage of incentives that may become available to government-funded health care providers as a result of the Stimulus. The Stimulus contains discretionary funding for the Health and Human Services Secretary in the form of grants and loans to organizations such as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), the Indian Health Service (IHS) and other providers.

Although the Company believes it has and continues to take the proper steps to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the Stimulus, given the effects the Stimulus is having on our customers, there can be no assurance that the Stimulus will result in significant new orders for the Company in the near term, and if it does, that the Company will have the capacity to meet the additional market demand in a timely fashion.

We believe the combination of Allscripts and Eclipsys will allow the combined company to become a larger, more competitive “end-to-end” solutions provider within the healthcare information technology industry. Combining the companies’ respective solution sets will result in one of the most comprehensive solution offerings for healthcare organizations of every size and setting. By combining physician-office and post-acute care solutions from Allscripts with Eclipsys’ enterprise solutions for hospitals and health systems, the combined company will offer a single platform of clinical, financial, connectivity and information solutions.

After the Eclipsys Merger, given the unique breadth of solutions and customer types, the company expects to be uniquely positioned to connect physicians, other care providers and patients across all health care provider settings including hospitals, small or large physician practices, extended care facilities, or in a home care setting. The Eclipsys Merger establishes significant breadth and critical mass to compete for opportunities among large hospital and health systems that increasingly are looking to one information technology vendor to provide a single, end-to-end solution across all points of care.

Additionally, recently enacted public laws reforming the U.S. healthcare system may have an impact on our business. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590; Public Law 111-148) (“PPACA”) and The Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) (the “Reconciliation Act”), which amends the PPACA (collectively the “Health Reform Laws”), were signed into law in March 2010. The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions which may impact the Company and the Company’s customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of new accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable from clients for goods and services provided by the Company. Revenue from system sales includes software and related hardware. Revenue from professional services includes implementation, training and consulting services. Revenue from maintenance includes post contract customer support and maintenance services. Revenue from transaction processing and other includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services, remote hosting of our software and outsourcing. For some clients, we host the software applications licensed from us remotely on our own servers, which saves these clients the cost of procuring and maintaining hardware and related facilities. For other clients, we offer an outsourced solution in which we assume partial to total responsibility for a healthcare organization’s information technology operations using our employees. Revenue from prepackaged medications includes the sale of medications and pharmaceutical products. Prepackaged medications revenue is only included in operating results during fiscal year 2009, as the related business was acquired as part of the 2008 Transactions in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and later disposed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Revenue from software licensing arrangements where the service element is not considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement is recognized upon shipment of the software or as services are performed, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are considered fixed or determinable, and collection of the receivable is considered probable. The revenue recognized for each separate element of a multiple-element software contract is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, which is based upon the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately or renewed. For arrangements in which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value only exists for the undelivered elements, the delivered elements (software license revenues) are accounted for using the residual method. For agreements that are deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue recognition is limited to amounts due and payable.

Revenue from software licensing arrangements, where the service element is considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement, is accounted for on an input basis under percentage of completion accounting using actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required by the arrangement, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is probable. Maintenance and support from these agreements is recognized over the term of the support agreement based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of the maintenance revenue, which is generally based upon contractual renewal rates. For agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting and deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue is recognized using the input method but is limited to the amounts due and payable. For income statement presentation, consideration from agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting is allocated between software and services based on vendor specific evidence of our hourly services rate multiplied by the amount of hours performed with the residual amount allocated to software license fee.

Revenue from certain value-added reseller (“VAR”) relationships in which software is directly sold to VARs is recognized upon delivery of the software assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue recognition is deferred until the software is delivered to the ultimate end user if the written and implied arrangement terms do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition upon delivery of the software to the VAR.

Certain of our customer arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. If the deliverables meet the separation criteria described below, the deliverables are separated into distinct units of accounting, and revenue is allocated to the units based on their fair values. The separation criteria are that the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each separate unit of accounting.

Management applies judgment to ensure appropriate accounting for multiple deliverables, including the allocation of arrangement consideration among multiple units of accounting, the determination of whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of delivered elements and the timing of revenue recognition, among others. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, revenue recognition is evaluated for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and generally the recognition pattern of the final deliverable will dictate the revenue recognition pattern for the single, combined unit of accounting. Changes in circumstances and customer data may affect management’s analysis of separation criteria, which may cause Allscripts to adjust upward or downward the amount of revenue recognized under the arrangement.

The Company records reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as professional services revenue in the statement of operations.

Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the period of the contract based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value based upon contractual renewal rates. Revenue from EDI services is recognized as services are provided and is determined based on the volume of transactions processed. Prior to the sale of the Company’s

 

53


prepackaged medications business in March 2009, revenue from the sale of prepackaged medications, net of provisions for estimated returns, was recognized upon shipment of the pharmaceutical products, the point at which the customer took ownership and assumed risk of loss, when no performance obligations remain and collection of the receivable was probable.

Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We record as revenue any amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs and record as cost of revenue the actual shipping costs incurred.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

We rely on estimates to determine our bad debt expense and the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. These estimates are based on our historical experience and the industry in which we operate. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and related bad debt expense may be required.

Business Combinations

Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We evaluate the value of intangible assets based upon the present value of the future economic benefits expected to be derived from the assets. We assess the impairment of the identifiable intangibles and goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. If we determine that the value of the intangible assets and goodwill may not be recoverable from future cash flows, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required. We perform the annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of May 31. For each reporting unit fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value as of May 31, 2010 and no indicators of impairment were identified as a result of the annual impairment test.

We estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Software Capitalization

The carrying value of capitalized software is dependent upon the ability to recover its value through future revenue from the sale of the software. If we determine in the future that the value of the capitalized software could not be recovered, a write-down of the value of the capitalized software to its recoverable value may be required.

We estimate the useful life of our capitalized software and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the

 

54


remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, we recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained if challenged by the taxing authorities. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given period may be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require cash payments and may result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. We report interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of our consolidated statements of operations.

N/M – not meaningful

Given the level of integration of the operations and reporting of legacy Allscripts and legacy MHS following the 2008 Transactions, management does not view or manage the business on a legacy business basis. Accordingly, it is not possible or meaningful in every case to quantify the impacts of the inclusion of legacy Allscripts on our financial results on a year-over-year basis within our overview of consolidated results and segment results. The fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 includes the full-year results of both legacy MHS and legacy Allscripts businesses. The fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 includes the full-year results of legacy MHS and the results of operations of legacy Allscripts subsequent to the closing of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue

Revenue for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 includes the results of Eclipsys from the date of the merger, August 24, 2010. All software and related services revenue categories reflect increases from the prior year comparable period. Excluding the impact of Eclipsys revenue totaling $174,678, as shown below in the Hospital Solutions segment, from August 24, 2010 through December 31, 2010, software and related services revenue for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 consists of the following:

Total software and related services revenue

     $438,632         $383,479         14.4
                          

Excluding the revenues contributed by Eclipsys during the seven months ended December 31, 2010, system sales increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as a result of an increase in customer orders compared to the seven months ended December 31, 2009. Professional services revenue increased primarily from an increase in professional services headcount which increased our ability to provide more billable services. The increase in customer orders also contributed to the increase in professional services revenue. Maintenance revenue and transaction processing revenue both increased primarily related to growth in our customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 includes the results of Eclipsys from the date of the merger, August 24, 2010. Excluding the impact of Eclipsys gross profit totaling $66,178 for the period August 24, 2010 through December 31, 2010, software and related services gross profit for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 consists of the following:

Gross profit

     $231,992        $209,867        10.5

% of Revenue

     52.9     54.7  

Excluding the impact of gross profit contributed by Eclipsys, the increase in gross profit is attributable to higher system sales that were driven by an increase in software orders during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the seven months ended December 31, 2009, an increase in professional services revenue due to the increased capacity to deliver billable services and an increase in maintenance revenue due to growth in our customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts. Gross profit as a percent of revenue declined slightly compared to the prior year comparable period due primarily to an increase in the amortization of software development costs of $3,296 and additional transaction processing related costs incurred as we increased headcount and improved our infrastructure in response to increased demand for our Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions.

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 includes the results of Eclipsys from the date of the merger, August 24, 2010. Excluding the impact of Eclipsys loss from operations totaling ($16,048) for the period August 24, 2010 through December 31, 2010, operating income for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 consists of the following:

 

     Seven Months Ended December 31,

Seven Months
Ended
 

Income from operations

     $21,933         $50,146         (56.3 %) 

Excluding the impact of operating loss by Eclipsys, the decrease in operating income is primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of an increase in headcount and expenses incurred related to the Eclipsys Merger, Coniston Transactions, and other integration-related costs totaling $42.5 million. Research and development expenses increased as a result of increased headcount. The increase in expenses was partially offset by the increase in gross profit discussed above.

The Eclipsys loss from operations is driven by a $27.3 million deferred revenue adjustment related to the Eclipsys Merger that negatively impacts revenue, expenses incurred related to the Eclipsys Merger and other integration-related costs totaling $14.5 million and amortization of intangibles acquired in the Eclipsys Merger totaling $17.3 million.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Revenue

Revenue increased from the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders. All revenue categories reflect increases from the prior year with the exception of prepackaged medications revenue related to the Medications Services segment that was sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. System sales and maintenance revenue reflect the most significant increases in revenue. System sales increased as a result of an increase in customer orders compared to the prior year. The increase in maintenance revenue compared to the prior year reflects an overall increase in the customer base as a result of the 2008 Transactions along with continued growth in the customer base from new customer orders.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to the prior year due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts and an increase in revenue related to increased customer orders. Excluding the impact of our prepackaged medications business which was sold during the year ended May 31, 2009, gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased compared to the prior year due to improved utilization of professional services resources as well as an improvement in maintenance margins due to better cost management and a slight reduction in headcount. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized in fiscal year 2010 compared to prior year with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

 

58


Operating Income

Operating income increased from the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an improvement in gross profit. The increase in 2010 is partially offset by increased costs related to an increase in research and development headcount and the Eclipsys Merger and the Coniston Transactions. The increase in research and development costs is partially offset by an increase in capitalized software development costs. Transaction-related fees and expenses, including legal, investment banking and accounting fees, incurred in connection with announced transactions as well as severance, integration, and certain legal and related settlement amounts totaled approximately $14.4 million during the year ended May 31, 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

Revenue

The increase for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the inclusion of revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009, respectively.

Excluding the revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the legacy MHS revenue declined in fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008. This decline was concentrated in systems sales and professional services in the legacy MHS clinical solutions segment and was as a direct result of a shift of new sales orders away from the legacy MHS products to the legacy Allscripts products where similar products existed in both legacy businesses. This shift was expected by management and is part of the overall integration strategy for the clinical solutions segment. Partially offsetting this decline in systems sales and services revenue was an increase in legacy MHS clinical solutions maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts as well as modest growth in transaction services revenue. The net decline in revenue in the legacy MHS clinical solutions business was partially offset by revenue growth in the legacy Health solutions segment which experienced modest system sales and professional services revenue growth due to an increase in orders as well as growth in maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the legacy Allscripts gross profit contribution which was not present in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the contribution of gross profit from the legacy Allscripts software and related services, which has lower margins than legacy MHS software and related services.

Operating Income

The increase in operating income for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the legacy Allscripts gross profit contribution which was not present in fiscal year 2008. In addition to the impact of the addition of legacy Allscripts in fiscal year 2009, contributing to the increase in operating income was the result of a decrease in the amortization of intangibles as a result of certain legacy MHS intangibles which became fully amortized in fiscal year 2008 and due to lower research and development costs resulting from an increase in software development eligible for capitalization related primarily to development on our MyWay product as well as a reduction in third-party spending on other legacy MHS software products. These cost savings were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs related to the impairment of our investment in Aprima, higher severance costs, and an increase in third party costs related to the integration of the businesses after the closing of the 2008 Transactions.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue

Clinical solutions revenue increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in customer orders that drove increases in all revenue categories. The increase in professional services was also driven by an increase in professional services headcount which provided additional capacity to deliver more billable services. Additionally, maintenance and transaction processing revenues increased as a result of continued growth in the clinical solutions customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts.

Gross Profit

Clinical solutions gross profit increased during the seven month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to an increase in system sales that was driven by an increase in software orders and an increase in maintenance revenue due to growth in our customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 decreased compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to a lower gross profit percentage realized by transaction processing. We incurred additional transaction processing related costs as we increased headcount and improved our infrastructure in response to increased demand for our SaaS solutions.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in clinical solutions selling, general and administrative expenses during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 is attributable to higher commission expense which was driven by an increase in customer orders and higher overall revenues. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in stock compensation expense as compared to the prior year comparable period.

Research and Development

Clinical solutions research and development costs increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in costs related to a higher number of internal and external research and development resources required to achieve new features and functionality and meet the meaningful use guidelines stipulated by healthcare legislation. Increased costs in the current period were partially offset by an increase in the capitalization of software development costs.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Revenue

Clinical solutions revenue increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders that drove increases in all revenue categories. Additionally, maintenance revenues increased as a result of continued growth in the clinical solutions customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts.

Gross Profit

Clinical solutions gross profit increased in fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts and an increase in revenue related to increased customer orders. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased slightly during the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to the prior year primarily attributable to improved utilization of professional services resources as well as an improvement in maintenance margins due to better cost management. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized in fiscal year 2010 with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

 

61


Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in selling, general and administrative costs during the year ended May 31, 2010 was primarily a result of the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year. Additionally, increases in stock-based compensation and marketing contributed to the overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Clinical solutions research and development costs increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to costs related to an increase in headcount and increased maintenance efforts related to clinical solutions software applications. These increases were partially offset by increased capitalization of software development costs compared to the prior year.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

Revenue

The revenue increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the clinical solutions revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Excluding the revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the legacy MHS revenue declined in fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008. This decline was concentrated in systems sales and professional services in the legacy MHS clinical solutions segment and was as a direct result of a shift of new sales orders away from the legacy MHS products to the legacy Allscripts products where similar products existed in both legacy businesses. This shift was expected by management and is part of the overall integration strategy for the clinical solutions segment. Partially offsetting this decline in systems sales and services revenue was an increase in legacy MHS clinical solutions maintenance revenue as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts as well as modest growth in transaction services revenue.

Our revenue from system sales and professional services from our Enterprise and Professional businesses that make up our clinical solutions segment were negatively affected during fiscal year 2009 due to a decrease in new software orders that management believes resulted from a delay in our customers and prospective customers purchasing process due to the uncertainty around the Stimulus Bill and related funding requirements and also due to the challenging economic conditions in fiscal 2009 which motivated customers and prospective customers to defer capital investments, conserve cash and move towards software subscription arrangements versus traditional licensing arrangements.

Gross Profit

The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the clinical solutions margin contributed by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The slight decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to an increase in amortization cost associated with acquired technology related to the 2008 Transactions.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase during fiscal year 2009 was primarily a result of the inclusion of legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The impact of the addition of costs related to legacy Allscripts was partially offset by the impact in fiscal year 2009 of cost reduction strategies implemented within legacy MHS in fiscal year 2008.

 

62


Research and Development

The decrease is primarily driven by an increase in the level of costs recorded as capitalized software on the balance sheet and amortized over their expected useful lives versus being expensed as incurred. This shift was driven by the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008, which resulted in an increase in projects undertaken that qualified for capitalization.

The hospital solutions segment is a new segment that will capture the operating results of the acute care hospital solutions acquired in the Eclipsys Merger. Accordingly, comparative results will first be presented when the 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 is filed.

Revenues for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 reflect the revenues of our acute care hospital solutions from the date of the Eclipsys Merger, August 24, 2010, through December 31, 2010. System sales and professional services are revenue categories driven by client orders and mix of such orders (i.e., software, hardware, professional services, etc.). Maintenance and transaction processing and other revenues are also driven by client orders; however, these revenue categories are more recurring in nature and include offerings such as remote hosting and outsourcing. Overall, revenues are negatively impacted by the amortization of a deferred revenue adjustment related to the Eclipsys Merger totaling $27.3 million. Gross profit is also negatively impacted by this same adjustment in addition to amortization of intangibles acquired in the Eclipsys Merger totaling $6.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses, reflect recurring costs of the hospital solutions segment, and are net of capitalized software development costs of $8.2 million.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue

The health solutions revenue increase during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 is primarily attributable to increases in professional services and transaction processing which were driven by an increase in health solutions orders compared to the seven months ended December 31, 2009. Transaction processing primarily consists of software sold as a service. Maintenance revenues also increased due to growth in our customer base and annual maintenance fee increases under existing contracts. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in system sales. While customer orders for systems sales increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010, the increase in customer orders did not result in an increase in revenue due to the timing of related implementation services.

Gross Profit

Health solutions gross profit increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to the increases in professional services revenue and transaction processing revenue related to increased customer orders. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 increased over the comparable prior year period due to improved utilization of professional services personnel and an improved revenue mix driven by higher margin transaction processing revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in health solutions selling, general and administrative expenses during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 is attributable to higher commission expense which was driven by an increase in customer orders, and an increase in stock compensation expense as compared to the prior year comparable period.

Research and Development

Health solutions research and development costs decreased in the seven months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in capitalization of software development costs relating to increased feature and functionality development efforts that commenced in 2010. This increase was partially offset by an increase in costs related to a higher number of internal and external research and development resources compared to the prior year comparable period.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Revenue

Health solutions revenue increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in customer orders.

Gross Profit

The health solutions gross profit increase during the year ended May 31, 2010 is primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased slightly during fiscal year 2010 compared to the prior year. The slight increase is primarily attributable to improved utilization of professional services resources. Additionally, a more favorable system sales revenue mix was realized during fiscal year 2010 with more revenue being contributed from software licenses and less from lower margin hardware sales. This improvement was partially offset by increased amortization of software development costs.

 

64


Selling, General and Administrative

The decline in health solutions selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended May 31, 2010 was primarily a result of lower stock-based compensation and marketing expenses.

Research and Development

The increase in health solutions research and development expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in headcount. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in capitalized software development costs.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

Revenue

The revenue increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the health solutions revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Excluding the impact on revenue contributed by legacy Allscripts, the increase in revenue was related to legacy MHS health solutions which experienced an increase in system sales and professional services revenue due to an increase in orders as well as growth in maintenance revenue primarily as a result of continued growth in the customer base and annual price increases on existing contracts.

Gross Profit

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 2009 is attributable to the margin mix associated with the legacy Allscripts products which have margins that tend to be lower than legacy MHS and due to an increase in amortization cost associated with acquired technology related to the 2008 Transactions.

Selling, General and Administrative

The increase in costs for fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to costs incurred by legacy Allscripts for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009 and due an overall increase in selling, general and administrative costs, primarily related to the addition of headcount to accommodate growth in the health solutions segment.

Research and Development

The increase in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the additional research and development costs contributed by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009.

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”). There was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment prior to the 2008 Transactions, as this was a legacy Allscripts segment. As a result of the Meds Agreement, there was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

The increase in unallocated corporate expenses during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the seven months ended December 31, 2009 is attributable to an increase in headcount and expenses incurred related to the Eclipsys Merger, Coniston Transactions, and other integration-related costs totaling $57.0 million, in addition to unallocated corporate expenses incurred by legacy Eclipsys from the date of the merger, August 24, 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

The increase in unallocated corporate expenses during 2010 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year and an increase in headcount and employee-related compensation expenses. Additionally, we have incurred increased costs related to the proposed Eclipsys Merger and Coniston Transactions. Offsetting these increases are lower costs incurred in 2010 related to the 2008 Transactions and an impairment charge of $14,076 related to the investment in Aprima recognized in the prior year which did not recur in 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase in unallocated corporate expense for 2009 includes merger and integration related costs of approximately $39,900 which were incurred in connection with the 2008 Transactions. Excluding these one-time related costs in 2009, unallocated corporate expenses would have been approximately $53,029 for 2009. This increase in 2009 is primarily due to corporate costs incurred related to the 2008 Transactions, partially offset by cost benefits received in fiscal 2009 for cost reduction strategies that were implemented at the end of 2008.

Amortization of intangibles increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as a result of increased amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Eclipsys Merger.

 

66


Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Amortization of intangibles increased during the year ended May 31, 2010 as a result of recognizing transaction-related expenses for a full year as compared to the prior year when amortization commenced in conjunction with the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The decrease in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the Medic customer relationship intangible asset becoming fully amortized during fiscal year 2008. The decrease was partially offset by the intangible amortization recorded in conjunction with the 2008 Transactions for the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Interest expense increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to interest incurred on the amounts drawn against the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in order to fund the Coniston Transactions.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Interest expense decreased during the year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year due to the conversion of outstanding Debentures to common stock in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 and the repayment of the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility during 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase during 2009 is primarily due to interest expense related to the Debentures and the Credit Facility from legacy Allscripts in conjunction with the 2008 Transactions.

The increase in interest income and other, net during the seven month period ended December 31, 2010 is partially due to realized gains on investments and an increase in the cash and marketable securities balance, net of decreases due to lower interest rates earned.

 

67


Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase during 2009 is primarily due to an increase in the cash and marketable securities balance related to the completion of the 2008 Transactions.

The effective tax rate increased significantly for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to nondeductible expenses incurred related to the Eclipsys Merger and Coniston Transactions and changes in state tax rates.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

The decrease in the effective tax rate during 2010 is primarily due to a reduction in state income tax expense and the utilization of federal research and development credits.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase in the effective rate during 2009 is due to state tax increases in certain states, primarily in Texas, and due to a decrease in the IRC Section 199 deduction as a result of the availability of NOL carry-forwards.

Contract Backlog

As of December 31, 2010, and May 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a committed contract backlog of approximately $2,677 million, $774 million and $673 million, respectively. Of that amount, approximately $606 million, $103 million and $105 million, as of December 31, 2010, and May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was related to long term SaaS contract commitments. A portion of the contracts in the committed contract backlog are accounted for under the percentage of completion accounting method. The determination of the revenue related to these contracts which will be recognized in the next twelve months is projected based upon the expected implementation period for such contracts.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the seven months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the utilization of cash by working capital activities as compared to the prior year comparable period and the cash contribution by legacy Eclipsys from the date of the merger, August 24, 2010. The additional cash provided by legacy Eclipsys was partially offset by an increase in expenses related to the Eclipsys Merger, Coniston Transactions, and other integration-related costs incurred during the seven months ended December 31, 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Cash flow from operations increased in 2010 due to an increase in cash received from customers attributable to the inclusion of full-year results for legacy Allscripts in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 as compared to the prior year in addition to fewer payments in 2010 for costs related to the 2008 Transactions. The increase in 2010 was partially offset by an increase in payments for costs related to the proposed Eclipsys Merger and the Coniston Transactions.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase in 2009 reflects a growth in net income, and adjustments for non-cash items, primarily due to the contribution by legacy Allscripts from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities improvement was primarily due to a year-over-year increase in cash provided from deferred revenue of $20,280 which reflects an improvement in customer software implementations and related revenue recognition, partially off-set by a year-over-year decrease in cash provided from accounts receivable of $19,014 which primarily relates to increased revenue in fiscal 2009 resulting from the revenue contribution of legacy Allscripts during the period from the closing of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008 through May 31, 2009 and an increase in annual maintenance and software milestone billings.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Cash provided by investing activities increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 due to the cash and restricted cash acquired in the Eclipsys Merger. This increase was partially offset by increases in capital expenditures and software development expenditures. The increase in capital expenditures is related to the acquisition of computer equipment and software to improve our information systems infrastructure and to accommodate data management and hosting related to our products. The capitalization of software development costs increased as a result of the increased level of research and development expenditures during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 that was driven by new product initiatives and regulatory updates to existing products related to meaningful use. Capital expenditures and capitalized software expenditures are also higher during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 due to the inclusion of amounts related to legacy Eclipsys from the merger date, August 24, 2010, totaling $13,894 and $8,244, respectively.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Cash used for investing activities decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to the payment in 2009 for the acquisition of legacy Allscripts which did not recur in 2010. This decrease was partially offset by increases in capital expenditures and software development expenditures in 2010. The increase in capital expenditures is related to the acquisition of computer equipment and software to improve our information systems infrastructure and to accommodate data management and hosting related to our products. The capitalization of software development costs increased as a result of the increased level of research and development expenditures during fiscal year 2010 that was driven by new product initiatives.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

The increase in cash used during fiscal 2009 is primarily due to a net payment of $263,766 relating to the deemed acquisition for accounting purposes of Allscripts, increase of $3,803 in capital expenditures, and an investment of $14,001 in the development of software. These cash outflows were partially offset from the sale of Allscripts’ Cary, North Carolina Facility in which we received $6,450 in net proceeds, net proceeds of $6,181 from the sale and maturity of marketable securities, and $8,000 in proceeds received from the sale of our prepackaged medications business.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Seven Months Ended December 31, 2009

Cash used for financing activities increased during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to the repurchase of common stock related to the reduction of Misys ownership in Allscripts. The increase is partially offset by proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facilities which were used to fund the Coniston Transactions and working capital needs. Payments on debt instruments primarily increased due to repayment of borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Additionally, an increase in proceeds from stock options and employee stock purchases partially offsets the increases in cash used for financing activities.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2009

Cash used for financing activities increased compared to the prior year primarily due to the receipt of cash from Misys in 2009 in connection with the 2008 Transactions that did not recur in 2010. Contributing to the increase were payments made to fully liquidate outstanding balances under the Credit Facility during 2010. Partially offsetting these increases are payments in 2009 for the repurchase of senior convertible notes and common stock that did not recur in 2010.

Fiscal Year May 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year May 31, 2008

This increase in cash is attributable to a change of $356,929 in the parent’s net investment account, which includes the $330,000 received from Misys in connection with the 2008 Transactions, cash proceeds from exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan of $5,620, increase in net cash payments made in fiscal 2009 for debt related obligations of approximately $11,737, $8,164 of our Debentures being repurchased for cash during fiscal year 2009, $51,547 of common stock purchased under our stock repurchase program, as described in more detail below, and $5,463 in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Stock Repurchases

On February 10, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $150,000 of its common stock over two years. Repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases also have been made from Misys pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2009 (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Misys, Misys Patriot Ltd., Misys Patriot US Holdings LLC and Allscripts. The aggregate amount of shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan, whether pursuant to any 10b5-1 plan, Rule 10b-18 or the Stock Repurchase Agreement, will not exceed the lesser of $150,000 (including commissions) or 15,000 shares. In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the Stock Repurchase Agreement was terminated. Pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, Allscripts had agreed to purchase from Misys, and Misys had agreed to sell to Allscripts, the number of shares of Allscripts’ common stock needed to keep Misys’ ownership percentage in Allscripts unaffected by certain open market repurchases being made by Allscripts. No early termination penalties were incurred by Allscripts in connection with the termination of the Stock Repurchase Agreement. In total through December 31, 2010, the Company has repurchased 5,424 shares of common stock at an average price (excluding commissions) of $9.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $51,547. There were no shares repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Agreement during the seven months ended December 31, 2010. The remaining authorized amount for stock repurchase under the program is approximately $98,453, which program terminated on February 10, 2011.

Future Capital Requirements

In connection with the Coniston Transactions, on August 20, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), Allscripts entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, UBS Securities LLC and Barclays Capital, as co-syndication agents, and a syndicate of banks as co-documentation agents (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a $470 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $250 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), each of which has a five year term (collectively the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, Allscripts borrowed $470 million under the Term Facility and $100 million under the Revolving Facility. Allscripts incurred $22,256 in debt issuance costs related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The net proceeds were used by Allscripts to finance a portion of the Coniston Transactions. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

The Term Facility will mature in quarterly installments commencing on December 31, 2010, provided that, notwithstanding the above, the remaining principal balance as of the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date shall be due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date:

     Remaining balance   

A total of $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and $10 million of the Revolving Facility is available for swingline loans. Allscripts is also permitted to add one or more incremental revolving and/or term loan facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain conditions.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest, at Allscripts’ option, at a rate per annum equal to either (1) the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City, (b) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5%, and (c) the rate for Eurodollar deposits as reflected on the applicable Reuters Screen LIBOR01 for a one month interest period, as such rate may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements, plus 1.0%, or (2) the rate for Eurodollar deposits as reflected on the applicable Reuters Screen LIBOR01 for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, as such rate may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements, plus, in each case, the applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is fixed until the date that is three business days after Allscripts’ financial statements are delivered to lenders with respect to the first fiscal period ending after September 30, 2010, and thereafter the applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be subject to further adjustment based on an agreed leverage grid.

All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by, subject to certain agreed upon exceptions, each of Allscripts’ existing and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries, other than Newco (the “Guarantors”).

The obligations of Allscripts and each Guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, any swap agreements and any cash management arrangements provided by any lender, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the tangible and

 

73


intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, material owned real property and all of the capital stock of each Guarantor and, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, up to 65% of the capital stock of first tier material foreign subsidiaries) of Allscripts and the Guarantors.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement requires Allscripts to prepay the Term Facility: (i) with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of certain indebtedness for borrowed money; (ii) with 100% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of any assets in excess of $5 million outside the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, insurance and condemnation proceeds) in any fiscal year, subject to reinvestment rights; and (iii) with 50% of Allscripts’ excess cash flow for each fiscal year, beginning with the 2012 fiscal year. No prepayments under clauses (ii) or (iii) above are required to the extent that Allscripts’ total leverage ratio is less than 2.5 to 1.0. Allscripts may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at Allscripts’ option at any time upon prior notice.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, Allscripts’ ability to:

 

   

incur indebtedness (including guarantee obligations);

 

   

create liens on and sell assets;

 

   

engage in mergers or consolidations;

 

   

declare dividends and other payments in respect of our capital stock;

 

   

make investments, loans and advances;

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates;

 

   

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and

 

   

change lines of business.

In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total indebtedness by earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. The minimum interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing earnings before interest expense and income tax expense by cash interest expense.

The facilities also contain certain customary events of default, including relating to non-payment, breach of covenants, cross-default, bankruptcy and change of control.

Allscripts terminated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 10, 2009 among Allscripts, Allscripts, LLC, A4 Health Systems, Inc., A Realty, LLC, Extended Care Information Network, Inc. and Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the sole administrative agent, JPMorgan Securities, Inc., as lead arranger, and Fifth Third Bank, as syndication agent and co-lead arranger, as amended on November 20, 2009 (the “Old Credit Facility”). The Old Credit Facility provided for a total unsecured commitment of $150 million and matured on August 15, 2012. No early termination penalties were incurred by Allscripts in connection with the termination of the Old Credit Facility. In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the Old Credit Facility was terminated, and the related $468 of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs of the Old Credit Facility was written off and is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the seven months ended December 31, 2010.

 

74


As of December 31, 2010, $489,125 in borrowings and $1,921 in letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was LIBOR plus 3.00%, which totaled 3.26%. Refer to Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for the interest rate swap agreement. There was no default under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $223,079 available, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to draw on the full available balance of our Credit Agreement if the financial institutions that have extended such credit commitments become unwilling or unable to fund such borrowings.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $131,136 as of December 31, 2010, our future cash flows, and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating cash requirements for the next twelve months, funding interest payments on our debt instruments, contractual obligations, including the Transition Services Agreement with Misys, and investment needs of our current business. We cannot provide assurance that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than we expect as of the date of this report. We will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary businesses, products, services and technologies, which might impact our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional equity or debt securities.

If sources of liquidity are not available or if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations during the next twelve months, we might be required to obtain additional sources of funds through additional operating improvements, capital market transactions, asset sales or financing from third parties, a combination thereof or otherwise. We cannot provide assurance that these additional sources of funds will be available or, if available, would have reasonable terms.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Other items, such as operating lease contract obligations are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed.

The Company believes it has income tax exposure totaling $42,840 as of December 31, 2010 primarily related to tax exposure acquired in connection with the Eclipsys Merger and Coniston Transactions and pre-acquisition NOL’s for the legacy Allscripts group. Liabilities that may result from this exposure have been excluded from the table above since we cannot predict with reasonable reliability the outcome of discussions with the respective taxing jurisdictions, which may or may not result in cash settlements. We have excluded net deferred tax liabilities of $52,265 from the amounts presented in the table as the amounts that will be settled in cash are not known and the timing of any payments is uncertain.

The acquired tax position related to the Misys share repurchase totaling $25,863 is indemnified by Misys.

 

(1) As described in Note 7—Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Future Capital Requirements, the Company entered into a credit agreement whereby we borrowed $570 million to finance the repurchase of Allscripts shares held by Misys. The term facility provided under the credit agreement matures in quarterly installments commencing on December 31, 2010, and the revolving facility matures on August 20, 2015. As described in Note 12—Derivative Financial Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that converts the one-month LIBOR rate on the corresponding notional amount of debt to an effective fixed rate of 0.896%. Interest payments on borrowings presented in the contractual obligations table above have been estimated using the effective fixed rate, which represented our effective interest rate after consideration of the interest rate swap agreement, and assumes the LIBOR rate and applicable margin are consistent with the actual rate at December 31, 2010.
(2) The unconditional purchase obligations consist of minimum purchase commitments for telecommunication services, computer equipment, maintenance, consulting and other commitments.
(3) Refer to Note 16—Related Party Transactions in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Transition Services Agreement with Misys.
(4) As of December 31, 2010, we had letters of credit totaling $3,639 outstanding with $1,921 of such amount issued under our Credit Agreement. The letters of credit are provided as security for corporate facilities leases, to support workers’ compensation insurance policies, contract bids and various other contractual arrangements. No amounts had been drawn on the letters of credit at December 31, 2010.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (Dollars in thousands)

We are exposed to market risks, primarily changes in U.S. and LIBOR interest rates. Allscripts is exposed to the risk that our earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in interest rates due to the cash borrowed under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Based upon our balance of $489,125 of debt under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of December 31, 2010, an increase in interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $4,891. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of October 29, 2010 that has the economic effect of modifying the variable rate component of the interest obligations associated with a portion of our variable rate debt. The initial notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement is $300 million, with scheduled step downs in the future, and a final termination date of October 31, 2014. The interest rate swap agreement converts the one-month LIBOR rate on the corresponding notional amount of debt to an effective fixed rate of 0.896% (exclusive of the applicable margin currently charged under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities). The interest rate swap agreement protects us against changes in interest payments due to benchmark interest rate movements.

Allscripts has international operations; therefore, we are exposed to risks related to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency fluctuations through December 31, 2010 have not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We continually monitor our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and may use derivative financial instruments and hedging transactions in the future if, in our judgment, the circumstances warrant their use. We believe most of our international operations are naturally hedged for foreign currency risk as our foreign subsidiaries invoice their clients and satisfy their obligations primarily in their local currencies with the exception of our development center in India. Our development center in India is not naturally hedged for foreign currency risk since their obligations are paid in their local currency but are funded in U.S. dollars. There can be no guarantee that the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in the future will not be significant and will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in financial instruments of $131,136. Declines in interest rates over time will reduce our interest income from our investments. Based upon our balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2010, a decrease in interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding decrease in our annual interest income of approximately $1,311.

Item    8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010, May 31, 2010, and May 31, 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the seven months in the period ended December 31, 2010 and each of three years in the period ended May 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits which were integrated audits for the seven month period ended December 31, 2010 and the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for business combinations in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010. As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2008.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

78


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ALLSCRIPTS HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per-share amounts)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Eclipsys Merger

On August 24, 2010, Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (which changed its name to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., “Allscripts” or the “Company”) completed the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 9, 2010 (“Merger Agreement”) by and among Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc., Arsenal Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts, and Eclipsys Corporation, an enterprise provider of solutions and services to hospitals and clinicians (“Eclipsys”). Eclipsys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts as a result of the merger. The results of Eclipsys are consolidated with the results of Allscripts from August 24, 2010.

The merger with Eclipsys has been accounted for as a purchase business combination. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The operating results of Eclipsys are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the completion of the merger, August 24, 2010.

Misys Merger

On October 10, 2008, in accordance with the transactions (the “2008 Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 by and among Misys plc (“Misys”), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“legacy Allscripts”), Misys Healthcare Systems (“MHS” or “legacy MHS”) and Patriot Merger Company, LLC (“Patriot”) a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes was completed that consisted of (i) the cash payment to legacy Allscripts by an affiliate of Misys of approximately $330,000 and (ii) the merger of Patriot with and into MHS, with MHS being the surviving company. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy Allscripts and the newly combined entity was renamed Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, Allscripts issued an aggregate of 82,886 shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock. The 2008 Transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under the purchase method of accounting, with MHS as the accounting “acquirer,” the assets and liabilities of legacy Allscripts were recorded, as of October 10, 2008, at their fair values and added to those of MHS, which are carried at their book values.

Results of operations include MHS for all periods presented and legacy Allscripts for periods subsequent to the completion of the 2008 Transactions on October 10, 2008. Since the 2008 Transactions constitute a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, the pre-acquisition combined financial statements of MHS are treated as the historical financial statements of Allscripts. General corporate expenses incurred prior to October 10, 2008 and reported in the prior period financial statements contain allocations of operating costs between MHS and its former parent, Misys. These costs include executive salaries, accounting and legal fees, departmental costs for accounting, finance, legal, information technology, purchasing, marketing, human resources as well as other general overhead costs. These allocations were based on a variety of factors, dependent upon the nature of the costs being allocated, including revenues and number of employees. Management believes these allocations are made on a reasonable basis; however, the financial statements included herein may not necessarily reflect Allscripts’ results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future or what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had MHS operated as a stand-alone entity prior to October 10, 2008.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010

During the fourth quarter, the Company identified an adjustment to correct a classification error in the presentation of deferred debt issuance costs on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This adjustment results in a $22,256 increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the nine month period. In conjunction with the Company’s Coniston Transactions, Allscripts entered into a Credit Agreement and incurred debt issuance costs of $22,256 (Note 7). The Company incorrectly reported these costs as an increase in the change in prepaid expense and other assets in the operating activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The appropriate classification of the deferred debt issuance costs is to record the $22,256 as an outflow in the financing activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. We have presented the outflow as a reduction in the gross proceeds from Credit Agreement borrowings of $570,000. The classification of deferred debt issuance costs is correct on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 and is correctly presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2010. The adjustment does not change net income or the net reported change in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, nor does it affect the cash balance previously reported on the balance sheet.

The Company does not believe that this adjustment is material to cash flows for its previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010. Accordingly, the Company will revise its third quarter 2010 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows prospectively within its third quarter 2011 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Change in Fiscal Year

On August 23, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a change of fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. As a result of this change, Allscripts is filing this transition report on Form 10-K for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 (“Transition Period”). Unaudited comparative financial results are provided for the seven months ended December 31, 2009 (see Note 19).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allscripts and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the fair value recognition provisions of authoritative guidance related to stock-based payment arrangements, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable from clients for goods and services provided by the Company. Revenue from system sales includes software and related hardware. Revenue from professional services includes implementation, training and consulting services. Revenue from maintenance includes post contract customer support and maintenance services. Revenue from transaction processing and other includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services, remote hosting of our software and outsourcing. For some clients, we host the software applications licensed from us remotely on our own servers, which saves these clients the cost of procuring and maintaining hardware and related facilities. For other clients, we offer an outsourced solution in which we assume partial to total responsibility for a healthcare organization’s information technology operations using our employees. Revenue from prepackaged medications includes the sale of medications and pharmaceutical products. Prepackaged medications revenue is only included in operating results during fiscal year 2009, as the related business was acquired as part of the 2008 Transactions in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and later disposed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

 

85


Revenue from software licensing arrangements where the service element is not considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement is recognized upon shipment of the software or as services are performed, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are considered fixed or determinable, and collection of the receivable is probable. The revenue recognized for each separate element of a multiple-element software contract is based upon vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, which is based upon the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately or renewed. For arrangements in which vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value only exists for the undelivered elements, the delivered elements (software license revenues) are accounted for using the residual method. For agreements that are deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue recognition is limited to amounts due and payable.

Revenue from software licensing arrangements, where the service element is considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of the arrangement, is accounted for on an input basis under percentage of completion accounting using actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required by the arrangement, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is probable. Maintenance and support from these agreements is recognized over the term of the support agreement based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of the maintenance revenue, which is generally based upon contractual renewal rates. For agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting and deemed to have extended payment terms, revenue is recognized using the input method but is limited to the amounts due and payable. For income statement presentation, consideration from agreements accounted for under percentage of completion accounting is allocated between software and services based on vendor specific evidence of our hourly services rate multiplied by the amount of hours performed with the residual amount allocated to software license fee.

Revenue from certain value-added reseller (“VAR”) relationships in which software is directly sold to VARs is recognized upon delivery of the software assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue recognition is deferred until the software is delivered to the ultimate end user if the written and implied arrangement terms do not satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition upon delivery of the software to the VAR.

Certain of our customer arrangements encompass multiple deliverables. If the deliverables meet the separation criteria described below, the deliverables are separated into distinct units of accounting, and revenue is allocated to the units based on their fair values. The separation criteria are that the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each separate unit of accounting.

Management applies judgment to ensure appropriate accounting for multiple deliverables, including the allocation of arrangement consideration among multiple units of accounting, the determination of whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of delivered elements and the timing of revenue recognition, among others. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as separate units of accounting, revenue recognition is evaluated for the combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting and generally the recognition pattern of the final deliverable will dictate the revenue recognition pattern for the single, combined unit of accounting. Changes in circumstances and customer data may affect management’s analysis of separation criteria, which may cause Allscripts to adjust upward or downward the amount of revenue recognized under the arrangement.

The Company records reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as professional services revenue in the statement of operations. These amounts totaled approximately:

Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as professional services revenue

     $6,700         $4,777         $4,074         $3,259   

Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the period of the contract based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value based upon contractual renewal rates. Revenue from EDI services is recognized as services are provided and is determined based on the volume of transactions processed. Prior to the sale of the Company’s prepackaged medications business in March 2009, revenue from the sale of prepackaged medications, net of provisions for estimated returns, was recognized upon shipment of the pharmaceutical products, the point at which the customer took ownership and assumed risk of loss, when no performance obligations remain and collection of the receivable was probable.

Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We record as revenue any amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs and record as cost of revenue the actual shipping costs incurred.

Revenue earned on contracts in excess of billings is included in the balance of accounts receivable. Billings are expected to occur according to the contract terms. Revenue earned on contracts in excess of billings and deferred revenue consisted of the following:

Total deferred revenue

     $235,057         $103,984         $86,032   
                          

Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Our Level 1 investments include money market funds valued daily by the fund companies, and the valuation is based on the publicly reported net asset value of each fund.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Our Level 2 non-derivative investments include marketable securities and consist of mortgage and asset-backed bonds. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value determined using a market approach, based on prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. Our Level 2 derivative asset represents an interest rate swap contract.

 

87


Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The Company has no Level 3 inputs.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the respective balance sheet dates:

The Company’s long-term financial liabilities consist of long-term debt with a carrying value that approximates fair value since the interest rate approximates current market rates.

Financial Instruments

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values.

Other investments classified as long-term marketable securities include certain debt instruments. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for all periods presented are immaterial. Changes in market value, excluding other-than-temporary impairments, are reflected in other comprehensive income. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

For derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain (loss) is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure is recognized in earnings. Gains (losses) on derivatives representing either hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness or hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings. There were no realized gains (losses) on derivatives for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

Comprehensive income/(loss) includes all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to provide for estimated losses resulting from uncollectible accounts, and is based principally upon specifically identified amounts where collection is deemed doubtful. Additional non-specific allowances are recorded based on historical experience and management’s assessment of a variety of factors related to the general financial condition of Allscripts’ customer base, industry in which we operate and general

 

88


economic conditions. Allscripts reviews the collectability of individual accounts and assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and related bad debt expense may be required. Allscripts does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of technology hardware, are carried at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined using the specific identification method.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is the shorter of the lease term or the useful life. Upon asset retirement or other disposition, cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts expended for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Business Combinations

Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized in accordance with accounting guidance, but accounting guidance requires the Company to perform an impairment test at least annually. This is a two-step test. In step one the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Step two is required only if there is a deficiency (the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value). In step two the actual amount of the goodwill impairment is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.

The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of May 31, and completed step one of its annual goodwill impairment test as of May 31, 2010 for its reporting units. For each reporting unit, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using the income approach by discounting to present value the estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. For each reporting unit fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value as of May 31, 2010 and no indicators of impairment were identified as a result of its annual impairment test; therefore, step two was not required. The Company will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. If we determine that the value of the indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill may not be recoverable from future cash flows, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

 

89


Accounting guidance also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment. We estimate the useful lives of our intangible assets and amortize the value over the remaining estimated economic lives of those assets, including the period being reported on. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required.

Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

In accordance with authoritative guidance, Allscripts reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Software Development Costs

Allscripts capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is available for general release in accordance with accounting guidance. Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Upon the establishment of technological feasibility, related software development costs are capitalized. We estimate the useful life of our capitalized software and amortize the value over that estimated life. If the actual useful life is shorter than our estimated useful life, we will amortize the remaining book value over the remaining useful life or the asset may be deemed to be impaired and, accordingly, a write-down of the value of the asset may be required. Upon the availability for general release, Allscripts commences amortization of the software on a product by product basis. Amortization of capitalized software is recorded using the greater of (i) the ratio of current revenues to total and anticipated future revenues for the applicable product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life, which is estimated to be three to five years.

At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of a software product are compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of a software product exceed the net realizable value of that asset is written off. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from that product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support required to satisfy Allscripts’ responsibility set forth at the time of sale. The carrying value of capitalized software is dependent upon the ability to recover its value through future revenue from the sale of the software. If we determine in the future that the value of the capitalized software could not be recovered, a write-down of the value of the capitalized software to its recoverable value may be required.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. A change in the assessment of the outcomes of such matters could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, we recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be required. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained if challenged by the taxing authorities. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our liabilities, our effective tax rate in a given period may be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require cash payments and may result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. We report interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of our consolidated statements of operations.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, numerous states, Canada, India, Malaysia, Australia, Mauritius and Singapore.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income, as adjusted for income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average shares of outstanding common stock. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential common stock equivalents. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist primarily of stock options, restricted stock unit awards and conversion of the 3.50% Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”).

The as-if converted shares totaling 2,608 were not included in the seven months ended December 31, 2010 as the effects were anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of its subsidiary in India, are measured using the currency of the respective countries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses for the year are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the year. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income or loss but are accumulated and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The functional currency of the Indian subsidiary is the U.S. dollar, with monetary assets and liabilities remeasured into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses remeasured at average rates prevailing during the year.

Allscripts has not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and three years in the period ended May 31, 2010.

Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject Allscripts to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables. Allscripts maintains its cash balances with two major commercial banks and its cash equivalents and marketable securities in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

Allscripts sells its products and services to healthcare providers. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of customers and their geographic dispersion. To reduce credit risk, Allscripts performs ongoing credit evaluations of significant customers and their payment histories. In general, Allscripts does not require collateral from its customers, but it does enter into advance deposit, security or guarantee agreements, if appropriate. Bad debt expense was as follows:

Bad debt expense

     $6,140         $7,785         $5,893         $2,415   

The majority of revenue is derived from customers located in the United States. The majority of long-lived assets are located in the United States. There were no customers that accounted for greater than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable in the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and in fiscal year 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Allscripts provides its software customers with a standard product warranty beginning with live use of the software. If a software product is found to have a material defect that causes the product not to operate in accordance with the software specifications, Allscripts will deliver any necessary alterations to the customer.

Use of Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance for when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance amends the criteria for performing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB revised the guidance to include additional disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance adds the requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers and a gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also includes clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance applies to all entities required to make disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance was adopted by the Company on June 1, 2010 for interim and annual reporting, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which will be required for interim and annual periods beginning June 1, 2011. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

93


In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance that amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that have multiple element arrangements. This updated guidance provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This new approach is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. In addition, early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance related to certain arrangements that contain software elements, which amends revenue recognition to exclude tangible products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. This updated guidance will be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year provided the company has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. An entity shall not elect early application of this update unless it also elects early application of the update related to multiple element arrangements. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for business combinations. The purchase method of accounting will continue to be required for all business combinations, but the revised guidance significantly changes the accounting for other aspects of business combinations. Under the guidance, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. The revised guidance will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing non-controlling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. It also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. This new guidance was adopted by the Company on June 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after June 1, 2009. This new guidance has been applied for the Company’s recent acquisition of Eclipsys as discussed in Note 2.

2. Business Combinations and Divestitures

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and Eclipsys Corporation

On August 24, 2010, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were completed and Eclipsys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts, the accounting acquirer. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Eclipsys common stock, other than shares held by Eclipsys in its treasury, by any wholly owned subsidiary of Eclipsys, by Allscripts or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Allscripts, was converted into the right to receive 1.2 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Allscripts common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares). Additionally, each outstanding Eclipsys stock option, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit and performance stock unit award was converted into an Allscripts option, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or performance stock unit award, as the case may be, with appropriate adjustments to the number of shares subject to the award and, if applicable, the per share exercise price to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value.

The results of Eclipsys are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the completion of the merger, August 24, 2010.

 

94


The total purchase price for the acquisition is comprised of the following:

 

Fair value of Eclipsys (69,225 Allscripts common shares at $17.47, the closing stock price of Allscripts on August 24, 2010)

     $1,209,366   

Share-based compensation value

     21,914   
        

Total purchase price

     $1,231,280   
        

Acquisition-related costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended May 31, 2010 totaled $44,897 and $3,719, respectively.

The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of their current fair values as follows:

 

Acquired cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash

     $174,543   

Accounts receivable, net

     136,198   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

     31,520

     (106,344

Other liabilities

     (16,637
        

Net assets acquired

     $1,231,280   
        

Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the purchase price and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill were Eclipsys’ history of profitability and high operating margins, strong sales force and overall employee base, and position in the healthcare information technology market.

As of the acquisition date of August 24, 2010, goodwill and intangible assets have been attributed to the hospital solutions segment. The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives and consist of the following:

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys merger occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The pro forma financial information for all periods presented also includes the business combination accounting effects resulting from the Merger Agreement including our amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, the elimination of certain intangible asset amortization incurred by Eclipsys, stock-based compensation charges for equity awards assumed, adjustments to interest expense for certain borrowings, adjustments for transaction-related expenses and the related tax effects as though the aforementioned companies were combined at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma supplemental results have been prepared based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations had the merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor of future results of operations. For pro forma purposes, quarterly financial results of legacy Eclipsys have been combined in order to align with the historical financial reporting periods of Allscripts. Accordingly, the financial results of legacy Eclipsys for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been combined with the results of Allscripts for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The unaudited pro forma results are as follows:

The unaudited pro forma information for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 include the following adjustments:

 

   

Net increase in revenues and net increase in net income representing legacy Eclipsys pre-merger revenues and net income as follows: revenues of $79,569 and net income of $2,900 for the seven months ended December 31, 2010; revenues of $521,972 and net income of $14,738 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010; and revenues of $519,254 and net income of $85,739 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

 

   

Increase in revenues for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 of $27,298 and a decrease in revenues for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $2,195 and $46,005, respectively, relating to deferred revenue acquisition accounting adjustments.

 

   

Increase to amortization expense for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $738, $20,683 and $20,683, respectively, related to management’s estimate of the fair value of intangible assets acquired as a result of the Eclipsys merger. These increases reflect the elimination of all legacy Eclipsys historical intangible asset and capitalized software amortization for all applicable periods.

 

   

Increase to interest expense for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 and the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $2,963, $21,983 and $22,646, respectively, related to the debt used to finance a portion of the Coniston Transactions. These increases reflect the elimination of previously recognized interest expense of legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys.

 

   

Decrease to stock-based compensation expense for the seven months ended December 31, 2010 of approximately $463 and an increase for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 of $6,753 and $8,580, respectively, related to equity awards of legacy Eclipsys assumed as part of the Eclipsys Merger.

 

   

Operating expenses reflect decreases of $71,938 in the seven months ended December 31, 2010, which includes $14,902 of transaction expenses included in the pre-merger results of legacy Eclipsys, and

 

96


 

$14,434 for the year ended May 31, 2010 and an increase of $86,372 in the year ended May 31, 2009 to reflect transaction-related expenses of legacy Allscripts and legacy Eclipsys as if the merger occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Excluding the net pre-merger impacts of legacy Eclipsys described above, all pro forma adjustments are reflected in pro forma earnings/(loss) assuming an effective income tax rate of 39%.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and Misys Healthcare Systems

On March 17, 2008, legacy Allscripts entered into the Merger Agreement with Misys, MHS and Patriot. On October 10, 2008, legacy Allscripts and MHS completed the 2008 Transactions. As a result of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, MHS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy Allscripts in a reverse merger, Misys purchased $330,000 of legacy Allscripts common stock and Misys obtained a controlling interest in legacy Allscripts. In connection with the closing of the 2008 Transactions, legacy Allscripts issued an aggregate of 82,886 shares of its common stock to two subsidiaries of Misys, which as of the closing of the 2008 Transactions, represented approximately 56.8% of the number of outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock. The combined company has a client base of approximately 160,000 U.S. physicians and 800 hospitals and is positioned to help physicians provide better patient care, manage their business more effectively and connect with their patients and other key healthcare stakeholders.

The Allscripts and MHS merger has been accounted for as a business combination. As MHS is the accounting acquiror, the historical financial statements are those of MHS. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Allscripts have been recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values.

The results of operations of legacy Allscripts are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for periods subsequent to the date of the completion of the 2008 Transactions, October 10, 2008. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $569,198 and is comprised of the following:

 

Fair value of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (62,998 Allscripts common shares at $8.77, the closing stock price of Allscripts on October 10, 2008)

     $552,494   

Share-based compensation value

     10,567   

Acquisition-related transaction costs

     6,137   
        

Total purchase price

     $569,198   
        

The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of their current fair values. Acquisition-related transaction costs include investment banking fees, loan commitment fees, legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the 2008 Transactions.

The purchase price has been allocated as follows:

 

Acquired cash and marketable securities

     $410,374   

Accounts receivable, net

     88,306   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

     20,555

Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the purchase price and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill were Allscripts’ history of profitability and high operating margins, strong sales force and overall employee base, and position in the healthcare information technology market.

We have allocated $330,984 to goodwill and $236,600 to intangible assets. Allocated goodwill consists of $258,880 and $72,104 attributed to the clinical solutions and health solutions segments, respectively. Allocated intangible assets consists of $180,600, $53,000 and $3,000 attributed to the clinical solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications segments as of the date of the October 10, 2008 acquisition, respectively. Of the $236,600 of acquired intangible assets, $52,000 was assigned to registered trade names, which have an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. The remaining $184,600 of intangible assets acquired consist of the following: $49,000 was assigned to service and maintenance contracts with a useful life of 20 years, $44,000 was assigned to developed technology rights with a useful life of 7 years, $3,000 was assigned to developed technology rights with a useful life of 4 years, $38,000 was assigned to core technology with a useful life of 12 years, $21,000 was assigned to customer relationships with a useful life of 20 years, $15,000 was assigned to Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts with a useful life of 13 years, $7,000 was assigned to service and maintenance contract backlog with a useful life of 2 years, $5,000 was assigned to provider relationships with a useful life of 15 years, $2,000 was assigned to service backlog with a useful life of 3 years, $300 was assigned to Allscripts’ non-compete agreement with a useful life of 1 year, and $300 was assigned to favorable leasehold interests with a useful life of 6 years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their average useful lives.

Sale of Prepackaged Medications Business

On March 16, 2009, Allscripts completed the sale of its Medications Services business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meds Agreement”) with A-S Medication Solutions LLC (“A-S”) for a total of $8,000 in cash consideration. Also at that time, Allscripts entered into a five-year marketing agreement (the “Marketing Agreement”) with A-S which requires that Allscripts provide various marketing services to A-S for compensation of $900 per quarter over the five year term for a total of approximately $18,000. In October 2010, the Marketing Agreement was amended to reflect a reduction of total contractual fees due by $4,600 and the acceleration of payment of the reduced fees. As of December 31, 2010, $5,000 remains to be paid under the amended Marketing Agreement. This amount will be paid to Allscripts over five monthly installments of $1,000 through May 31, 2011. Additionally, after May 31, 2011 Allscripts will no longer have any continuing obligations under the Marketing Agreement.

The sale of the prepackaged medication business resulted in a loss of approximately $1,588, which has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2009. The loss on the sale was calculated as follows:

3. Reduction of Misys Share Ownership

On June 9, 2010, Allscripts entered into a Framework Agreement with Misys, which was subsequently amended on July 26, 2010 (as amended, the “Framework Agreement”). Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Allscripts and Misys agreed to reduce Misys’ existing indirect ownership interest in Allscripts. As of June 8,

 

99


2010, Misys held indirectly 79.8 million shares of Allscripts’ common stock, representing approximately 54.5% of the aggregate voting power of Allscripts’ capital stock.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement:

 

   

Misys transferred to us 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of an indirect subsidiary of Misys (“Newco”), which held 61.3 million shares of our common stock, in exchange for 61.3 million newly issued shares of Allscripts common stock (such shares being referred to as the “Exchange Shares” and the transaction described in this bullet being referred to as the “Exchange”);

 

   

Misys sold 31,050,000 shares of our common stock in an underwritten secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”);

 

   

Allscripts repurchased approximately 24.4 million Exchange Shares from Misys at an aggregate purchase price of $577.4 million (the “Share Repurchase”), which included a payment of a premium of $117.4 million in connection with the sale by Misys of its controlling interest in Allscripts based on the volume weighted average price of Allscripts common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to June 9, 2010, the date on which the Framework Agreement was signed; and

 

   

Following the Eclipsys Merger, we repurchased approximately 5.3 million additional shares of Allscripts common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $101.6 million (the “Contingent Share Repurchase”).

The Exchange, Secondary Offering and Share Repurchase are referred to as the “Coniston Transactions.”

The Coniston Transactions were completed on August 20, 2010. Allscripts did not receive any proceeds from the Secondary Offering. The Contingent Share Repurchase was completed on August 27, 2010. Accordingly, Misys’ equity stake in Allscripts was reduced to approximately 10.2% of the outstanding shares of Allscripts common stock.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s accounting policy, when the repurchased stock was retired the $678.7 million excess of the repurchase price over par was allocated to additional paid-in capital.

On November 17, 2010, Kapiti Limited and ACT Sigmex Limited, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Misys, sold 12,500,000 shares of common stock of Allscripts, resulting in Misys holding approximately 3.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010, between the Company and Misys and the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Allscripts Charter”), upon Misys ceasing to hold 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, Misys ceased to have a right to nominate directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Allscripts Board”), and Misys-nominated directors serving on the Allscripts Board were required to resign.

On February 24, 2011, Misys announced that it had disposed of its remaining investment in Allscripts common stock.

Pursuant to our business combinations accounting policy, we record goodwill adjustments for the effect on goodwill of changes to net assets acquired during the measurement or purchase price allocation period (either of which can be up to one year from the date of an acquisition). Goodwill adjustments for our hospital solutions segment include approximately $13,000 that relates to a reclass from goodwill to intangible assets for adjustments to the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Eclipsys Merger along with other fair value adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities net of adjustments to deferred taxes.

6. Other Assets

Medem

On August 18, 2004, Allscripts entered into a Convertible Secured Promissory Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”) with Medem and certain other investors. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Allscripts acquired a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,600 (“Promissory Note”) under which Medem borrowed $2,600 from Allscripts. On May 28, 2007, Allscripts converted the Promissory Note into 2,317 shares of Medem’s Series A Common Stock.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement described above, Allscripts also entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Allscripts purchased shares of Medem’s Series A Voting Common Stock and shares of Medem’s Series B Non-voting Common Stock During the fourth quarter of fiscal year May 31, 2010, Allscripts received $479 as a return of capital from Medem. Allscripts’ total investment in Medem was $940 and $1,419 under the cost basis of accounting as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is recorded in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

As a result of Medem’s plan of liquidation and dissolution effective October 25, 2010, in November 2010, Allscripts received funds of $904 from Medem as a return of capital. Additionally, Medem created a

 

102


wholly-owned limited liability company (MPDR, LLC) which will hold the remaining Medem assets, primarily equity in PDR Network LLC (PDR). Allscripts received one unit of MPDR, LLC for each share of Medem Allscripts held as of November 4, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, we have a cost investment on our balance sheet of $306 related to the MPDR, LLC investment that is still outstanding.

The fair value of the investment is dependent upon the actual and forecast financial performance of Medem, its market indicators of value, and the volatility inherent in the external markets for this type of investment. In assessing potential impairment of the investment, we consider these factors, as well as the forecasted financial performance of Medem, liquidation preference value of the stock that we hold, and estimated potential for investment recovery. If any of these factors indicate that the investment has become other-than-temporarily impaired, we may have to record an impairment charge. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, Allscripts determined that its investment in Medem was impaired and a charge of $1,800 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Perpetual License

On September 15, 2008, MHS entered into an agreement with iMedica (now Aprima Medical Software, Inc., or “Aprima”) (the “Aprima Agreement”), under which the Company has a perpetual license to certain software code developed by Aprima, which the Company has incorporated into its Allscripts MyWay product. The perpetual license is being amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years. The net value of this perpetual license was $7,436, $8,311 and $9,811 as of December 31, 2010, and May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to this license was $875 for the seven months ended December 31, 2010, and $1,500, $689 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On July 17, 2009, the Company and Aprima entered into an amendment to the License Agreement to settle a dispute relating to certain terms of the License Agreement. As consideration for entering into this amendment, Allscripts paid Aprima $2,000, which is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2010.

As part of the License Agreement, MHS agreed to pay Aprima a total of $12,000 in cash contingent upon delivery by Aprima and acceptance by MHS of the licensed code and services, and to surrender its minority equity stake in Aprima along with any outstanding prepaid royalties. Misys made the $12,000 payment on MHS’ behalf. During the three months ended November 30, 2008, the Company reviewed the fair market value of its Aprima software code license and determined that it was impaired. The impairment was valued by comparing the expected discounted future cash flows to be generated by the Aprima source code license to its carrying value. The resulting impairment charge of $14,076 was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended May 31, 2009.

Credit Facility

In connection with the Coniston Transactions, on August 20, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), Allscripts entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, UBS Securities LLC and Barclays Capital, as co-syndication agents, and a syndicate of banks as co-documentation agents (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a $470 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $250 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), each of which has a five year term (collectively the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, Allscripts borrowed $470 million under the Term Facility and $100 million under the Revolving Facility. Allscripts incurred $22,256 in debt issuance costs related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The net proceeds were used by Allscripts to finance a portion of the Coniston Transactions. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

The Term Facility will mature in quarterly installments commencing on December 31, 2010, provided that, notwithstanding the above, the remaining principal balance as of the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date shall be due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date:

A total of $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and $10 million of the Revolving Facility is available for swingline loans. Allscripts is also permitted to add one or more incremental revolving and/or term loan facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain conditions.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest, at Allscripts’ option, at a rate per annum equal to either (1) the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City, (b) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5%, and (c) the rate for Eurodollar deposits as reflected on the applicable Reuters Screen LIBOR01 for a one month interest period, as such rate may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements, plus 1.0%, or (2) the rate for Eurodollar deposits as reflected on the applicable Reuters Screen LIBOR01 for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, as such rate may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements, plus, in each case, the applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is fixed until the date that is three business days after Allscripts’ financial statements are delivered to lenders with respect to the first fiscal period ending after September 30, 2010, and thereafter the applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be subject to further adjustment based on an agreed leverage grid.

 

104


All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by, subject to certain agreed upon exceptions, each of Allscripts’ existing and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries, other than Newco (the “Guarantors”).

The obligations of Allscripts and each Guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, any swap agreements and any cash management arrangements provided by any lender, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, intellectual property, material owned real property and all of the capital stock of each Guarantor and, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, up to 65% of the capital stock of first tier material foreign subsidiaries) of Allscripts and the Guarantors.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement requires Allscripts to prepay the Term Facility: (i) with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of certain indebtedness for borrowed money; (ii) with 100% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of any assets in excess of $5 million outside the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, insurance and condemnation proceeds) in any fiscal year, subject to reinvestment rights; and (iii) with 50% of Allscripts’ excess cash flow for each fiscal year, beginning with the 2012 fiscal year. No prepayments under clauses (ii) or (iii) above are required to the extent that Allscripts’ total leverage ratio is less than 2.5 to 1.0. Allscripts may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at Allscripts’ option at any time upon prior notice.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, Allscripts’ ability to:

 

   

incur indebtedness (including guarantee obligations);

 

   

create liens on and sell assets;

 

   

engage in mergers or consolidations;

 

   

declare dividends and other payments in respect of our capital stock;

 

   

make investments, loans and advances;

 

   

engage in transactions with affiliates;

 

   

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and

 

   

change lines of business.

In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total indebtedness by earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. The minimum interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing earnings before interest expense and income tax expense by cash interest expense.

The facilities also contain certain customary events of default, including relating to non-payment, breach of covenants, cross-default, bankruptcy and change of control.

Allscripts terminated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 10, 2009 among Allscripts, Allscripts, LLC, A4 Health Systems, Inc., A Realty, LLC, Extended Care Information Network, Inc. and Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the sole administrative agent, JPMorgan Securities, Inc., as lead arranger, and Fifth Third Bank, as syndication agent and co-lead arranger, as amended on November 20, 2009 (the “Old Credit Facility”). The Old Credit Facility provided for a total unsecured commitment of $150 million and matured on August 15, 2012. No early termination penalties were incurred by Allscripts in connection with the termination of the Old Credit Facility. In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the Old Credit Facility was terminated, and the related $468 of unamortized

deferred debt issuance costs of the Old Credit Facility was written off and is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the seven months ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, $489,125 in borrowings and $1,921 in letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2010, the interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was LIBOR plus 3.00%, which totaled 3.26%. Refer to Note 12 for the interest rate swap agreement. There was no default under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs totaled $20,420, and is included within other assets on the balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $223,079 available, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to draw on the full available balance of our Credit Agreement if the financial institutions that have extended such credit commitments become unwilling or unable to fund such borrowings.

Senior Convertible Debentures

In July 2004, Allscripts completed a private placement of $82,500 of the Debentures. Holders of $54,632 principal amount of the Debentures exercised their right to convert the Debentures into an aggregate of 4,854 shares of Allscripts common stock by virtue of the 2008 Transactions.

On November 7, 2008, Allscripts launched an offer to purchase for cash all of the $27,868 of Debentures then outstanding at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being repurchased ($1,000 per each $1,000 principal amount outstanding) plus any accrued and unpaid interest, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Debentures. The offer to purchase the outstanding Debentures expired on December 9, 2008, with $8,164 of the $27,868 outstanding Debentures being repurchased for cash.

During July 2009, Allscripts exercised its call option on the remaining $19,704 of Debentures for redemption. As a result of the call exercised by Allscripts, the holders of the Debentures had the right to convert the Debentures into common stock prior to payment redemption. During July and August 2009, holders of all of the outstanding Debentures exercised their right to convert the Debentures into an aggregate of 2,451 shares of Allscripts common stock. There were no outstanding Debentures as of December 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $358,030 and $12,499, respectively. Of the total federal net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $7,008 relates to stock compensation tax deductions that will be tax-effected and the related benefit credited to additional paid-in capital when realized. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various amounts starting in 2020 for both federal and state tax purposes. The utilization of the federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitation under the rules regarding changes in stock ownership as determined by the Internal Revenue Code. Historical federal net operating losses of Allscripts are subject to annual limitation on usage of approximately $62 million per year. In connection with the Eclipsys Merger, the Company acquired federal net operating losses totaling approximately $265 million. Due to the change in control in Eclipsys, these net operating losses are subject to annual limitation on usage of approximately $48 million per year. Net operating losses incurred subsequent to the Eclipsys Merger have no restrictions on utilization. The Company has Canadian net operating loss carryovers of approximately $17,877 that expire in varying amounts through 2026.

 

108


We use the tax law ordering approach for determining when tax benefits derived from stock-based awards are utilized. Under this approach, the utilization of excess tax deductions associated with stock-based awards is dictated by provisions in the tax law that identify the sequence in which such benefits are utilized for tax purposes when net operating losses exist.

For federal purposes, 1993 to 2010 tax years remain subject to income tax examination by federal authorities. Due to net operating loss carry forwards, in some cases the tax years continue to remain subject to examination with respect to such NOLs. For the Company’s state tax jurisdictions, 2003 to 2010 tax years remain open to income tax examination by state tax authorities. In Canada, the 2002 to 2010 tax years remain open for examination and in India the 2008 to 2010 tax years remain open.

The Company has a subsidiary in India that is entitled to a tax holiday which allows for tax-free operations during the holiday. The tax holiday for the subsidiary begins to partially expire in 2012 and will fully expire in 2017. As a result of the tax holiday, net income was higher by approximately $261 in 2010 with no impact on earnings per share.

On June 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. These principles prescribe a threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These principles also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The following table reconciles unrecognized tax benefits from June 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010. There was no unrecognized tax benefit for the year ended May 31, 2008:

As a result of the 2008 Transactions, whereas Allscripts and Misys Healthcare Systems were merged together for U.S. federal income tax purpose, income taxes are calculated on a consolidated basis subsequent to the 2008 Transactions. The Company’s income taxes in years prior to the 2008 Transactions were calculated on a separate tax return basis, although the Company’s operations at that point in time were included in the U.S. federal and state returns of the U.S. Misys consolidated group of companies.

The acquired tax position related to the Coniston Transactions is indemnified by Misys in accordance with the Framework Agreement. Accordingly, an indemnification asset totaling $27,534, including related interest, has been recorded and is included in other assets. The recoverability of the indemnification asset is supported by bank guarantee. The amount of the bank guarantee might be insufficient to fully cover taxes applicable to the historical transactions of Misys Healthcare Systems that might be imposed. Furthermore, although not expected, there could be circumstances in which the bank guarantee is reduced or terminated prior to the extinguishment of the resulting tax liabilities.

We recognized interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our consolidated statements of operations as follows:

 

     Seven Months
Ended
December 31,

2010
     Year Ended May 31,  
      2010      2009      2008  

Interest and penalties included in provision for income taxes

     $473         $0         $0         $0   

The amount of interest and penalties included in our consolidated balance sheets is as follows:

 

     December  31,
2010
     May 31,  
        2010      2009  

Interest and penalties included in the liability for uncertain income taxes

     $3,563         $0         $0   

The Company does not anticipate that within the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease. If these unrecognized benefits were recognized, they would have decreased the Company’s annual effective tax rate.

Misys also agreed to indemnify us against any taxes that may be imposed by the Coniston Transactions. In particular, the Coniston Transactions might have resulted in the recognition of the built-in gain inherent in our shares of common stock held by Misys, which is significant. While we do not expect taxes to be imposed, we may be required to rely on Misys’ indemnification obligation and ability to satisfy such indemnification obligation.

We intend to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been recorded for the difference between the financial and tax basis investment in our foreign subsidiaries. If these earnings were distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would have additional U.S. taxable income and, depending on our tax position in the year of repatriation, may have to pay additional U.S. income taxes. Withholding taxes may also apply to the repatriated earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized income tax liability related to these permanently reinvested and undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings is currently not practicable.

9. Stock Award Plans

We recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows:

December 31,

2010
     Year Ended May 31,  
        2010      2009      2008  

Total stock-based compensation expense

     $18,916         $14,849         $5,770         $2,208   

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated results of operations. As of December 31, 2010, $75,342 of unearned compensation related to non-vested awards and options was netted against the balance of additional paid in capital and will be recognized over the remaining vesting terms. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.92 years.

In connection with the Eclipsys Merger, we assumed all of the outstanding stock options and other stock awards of Eclipsys’ respective plans. These stock options and stock awards, as converted based on the same share exchange ratio defined in the Merger Agreement, generally retain all the rights, terms and conditions as originally granted. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 5,865 shares of common stock, 502 restricted stock units, and 495 shares of restricted stock were outstanding under these plans.

Restricted Stock Awards and Units

Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards typically have a four-year vesting term; however, certain restricted stock units or awards include performance-based vesting conditions. Upon termination of an employee’s employment with Allscripts, any non-vested restricted stock units or restricted stock awards will be forfeited unless otherwise provided in an employee’s employment agreement.

The following table summarizes the status of unvested restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2010 and May 31, 2010 and changes during the seven months and year then ended, respectively:

     3,663        $14.35   
          

During fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, 3,110 shares of restricted stock units were granted with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $8.65. No stock units are presented for fiscal year 2008 since unvested units were assumed in fiscal year 2009 through the 2008 Transactions.

The following table summarizes the status of unvested restricted stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2010 and changes during the seven months then ended:

Non-vested restricted stock awards at December 31, 2010

     1,168        $17.20   
          

The restricted stock awards granted during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 include performance-based vesting conditions over a two-year period. The purpose of the awards is to align management with cost synergy and other operational objectives related to the Eclipsys Merger and to retain key employees over the specified performance period. If pre-determined performance goals are achieved in year 1 or year 2, a participant will receive one-half of the award amount for the applicable performance result. Award recipients have the ability to receive up to 120% or 150% of the target number of shares originally granted based on the specific performance goals and actual results. For the seven months ended December 31, 2010, stock-based compensation expense related to these awards totaled $3,175 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2010, there was $11,950 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost, assuming an estimated forfeiture rate and 100% target attainment, related to these awards which is expected to be recognized through September 30, 2012.

No stock awards were granted during the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Accounting guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

We estimate the fair value of our share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of assumptions, including stock price volatility. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and ultimately how much we recognize as stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of stock options assumed in the Eclipsys Merger was estimated at the date of acquisition. The weighted average input assumptions used were as follows:

 

Expected option life (in years)

   0.11 – 4.54

Risk-free interest rate

   0.17% – 1.36%

Volatility

   30.5% – 54.04%

Dividend yield

   0%

The expected life input is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior, the risk-free interest rate input is based on United States Treasury instruments and the volatility input is calculated based on the implied volatility of our common stock.

No stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was recognized during the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 since the outstanding stock options were assumed through the 2008 Transactions and fully vested; therefore, any related expense was already recognized.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2010 was $60,962, which is based on Allscripts’ closing stock price of $19.27 as of December 31, 2010. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding represents the amount that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their stock options as of that date. The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises and stock award releases during the seven months ended December 31, 2010 was $9,707, and for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,869 and $4,737, respectively, net of related taxes. Allscripts settles employee stock option exercises and stock awards with newly issued common shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was effective at Allscripts Healthcare Solutions on the October 10, 2008 acquisition date and allows eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions of up to 20% of their base salary to be applied toward the purchase of full shares of common stock on the last day of the offering period. Offering periods under the ESPP are three months in duration and begin on each March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. Shares will be purchased on the last day of each offering period at a price of 95% of fair market value of the common stock on such date as reported on NASDAQ. The aggregate number of shares of Allscripts common stock that may be issued under the ESPP may not exceed 500 shares and no one employee may purchase any shares under the ESPP having a collective fair market value greater than $25 in any one calendar year. The shares available for purchase under the ESPP may be drawn from either authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock or from reacquired shares of common stock, including shares purchased by Allscripts in the open market and held as treasury shares.

Allscripts treats the ESPP as a non-compensatory plan in accordance with accounting guidance. There were 75 shares purchased under the ESPP for the seven months ended December 31, 2010.

Misys Stock Plan

Misys operates several share-based compensation plans. The Misys plans include both market price awards (options priced at fair value of Misys stock at date of grant) and nil cost awards (zero strike price). Certain of the awards include performance based vesting conditions, otherwise options vest over a service period that is generally three years. Upon completion of the Coniston Transactions and the related reduction of Misys’ ownership interests in Allscripts, the vesting of certain options previously granted to Allscripts’ employees was accelerated and the participation of Allscripts’ employees in the Misys stock plans terminated. All outstanding options held by employees of Allscripts on August 20, 2010 were assessed to determine the eligible grants that would fully vest as well as the options that would lapse. As a result of the assessment, Allscripts recognized expense of $703 due to the accelerated vesting of options during the seven months ended December 31, 2010. This charge was offset by $1,262 for options that were canceled. Allscripts expects to no longer recognize any stock-based compensation expense related to the Misys stock plans.

 

113


Prior to the completion of the Coniston Transactions, the fair value of share options granted to employees of Allscripts was recorded as compensation cost over the term of vesting period.

The fair value of awards that contain performance-based vesting conditions was estimated at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo option pricing model. For all other awards, the fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following assumptions have been used in the option pricing models:

Nil cost awards

   3   3   1.0-3.0    2.0-3.0

Volatility was calculated using Misys share price history for the period equivalent to the expected life. For awards with performance-based service conditions, vesting is tied to either total shareholder return, Misys earnings per share or Misys stock price. Additional variables used in the Monte Carlo option pricing model related to market benchmarked performance conditions include volatility of N/A, 42%, and 33% and a correlation coefficient of N/A, N/A, and 0.30, for the seven months ended December 31, 2010, and the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

10. Stock Repurchases

On February 10, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $150,000 of its common stock over two years. Repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases also have been made from Misys pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2009 (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Misys, Misys Patriot Ltd., Misys Patriot US Holdings LLC and Allscripts. The aggregate amount of shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan, whether pursuant to any 10b5-1 plan, Rule 10b-18 or the Stock Repurchase Agreement, will not exceed the lesser of $150,000 (including commissions) or 15,000 shares. In connection with the closing of the Coniston Transactions, the Stock Repurchase Agreement was terminated (Note 3). Pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, Allscripts had agreed to purchase from Misys, and Misys had agreed to sell to Allscripts, the number of shares of Allscripts’ common stock needed to keep Misys’ ownership percentage in Allscripts unaffected by certain open market repurchases being made by Allscripts. No early termination penalties were incurred by Allscripts in connection with the termination of the Stock Repurchase Agreement. In total through December 31, 2010, the Company has repurchased 5,424 shares of common stock at an average price (excluding commissions) of $9.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $51,547. There were no shares repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Agreement during the seven months ended December 31, 2010. The remaining authorized amount for stock repurchase under the program is approximately $98,453, which program terminated on February 10, 2011.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of October 29, 2010 that has the economic effect of modifying the variable rate component of the interest obligations associated with a portion of our variable rate debt. The initial notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement is $300 million, with scheduled step downs in the future, and a final termination date of October 31, 2014. The interest rate swap agreement converts the one-month LIBOR rate on the corresponding notional amount of debt to an effective fixed rate of 0.896% (exclusive of the applicable margin currently charged under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities). The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the debt allow us to designate the interest rate swap agreement as a highly effective cash flow hedge under GAAP. The interest rate swap agreement protects us against changes in interest payments due to benchmark interest rate movements. The change in fair value of this interest rate swap agreement is recognized in other comprehensive income with the corresponding amounts included in other assets or other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are indirectly recognized in earnings as periodic settlements of the swap occur and the fair value of the swap declines to zero.

The interest rate swap agreement is currently our only derivative instrument and it will not be used for trading purposes. In the future we may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The fair value of the derivative instrument held at December 31, 2010 was $2,003.

We recognized the following gain related to our interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge (our only cash flow hedge during the period):

Gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense)

     $0         $0         $0         $0   

 

116


We estimate that $1,906 of derivative losses included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. This amount has been calculated assuming the one-month LIBOR rate of 0.26063%, which represented our variable effective interest rate as of December 31, 2010, remains the same through 2011. No gains (losses) were reclassified from OCI into earnings as a result of forecasted transactions that failed to occur during the seven months ended December 31, 2010. We held no derivative instruments during the years ended May 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

14. Business Segments

Authoritative guidance establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Allscripts has organized its business around groups of similar customers, which resulted in four reportable segments: clinical solutions, hospital solutions, health solutions and prepackaged medications. The clinical solutions segment derives its revenue from the sale of clinical and practice management solutions and related services to physicians. Clinical solutions include electronic medical records software, practice management software, related installation and training services, electronic claims administration services and the resale of related hardware. The hospital solutions segment is a new segment established to capture the operating results of

 

117


the former legacy Eclipsys business. The hospital solutions segment derives its revenue from the sale of clinical and practice management solutions and related services to hospital providers. Hospital solutions include software, related installation and training services, the resale of related hardware, hosting of our software and outsourced solutions. The health solutions segment derives its revenue from the sale of clinical and practice management solutions and related services to hospital and homecare providers. Health solutions include software, related installation and training services, the resale of related hardware and hosting of our software. The prepackaged medications segment derived its revenue from the prepackaged medications business, including wholesale medication sales and on-site medication dispensing. There was no activity in the prepackaged medications segment prior to the 2008 Transactions, as this was a legacy Allscripts segment. As discussed in Note 2, the prepackaged medications business was disposed in March 2009.

The Company does not track its assets by segment or allocate interest and income taxes to its operating segments. In addition, the Company records corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses and amortization of intangibles in its unallocated corporate costs. These costs are not included in the evaluation of the financial performance of the operating segments.

All figures incurred subsequent to October 10, 2008 reflect charges under the Shared Services Agreement and Transition Services Agreement as described in the below paragraph.

Shared Services Agreement and Transition Services Agreement

On March 1, 2009, Allscripts and Misys entered into a Shared Services Agreement dated as of March 1, 2009 and effective as of October 10, 2008 (the “Shared Services Agreement”). The Shared Services Agreement was approved by the Audit Committee of Allscripts’ Board of Directors. The services provided to Allscripts under the Shared Services Agreement included: (1) human resource functions such as administration, selection of benefit plans and designing employee survey and training programs, (2) management services, (3) procurement services such as travel arrangements, disaster recovery and vendor management, (4) research and development services such as software development, (5) access to information technology, telephony, facilities and other related services at Misys’ customer support center located in Manila, The Philippines; and (6) information system services such as planning, support and database administration. Under the Shared Services Agreement, Allscripts has provided Misys with certain tax, facility space and payroll processing services. The Shared Services Agreement expired in accordance with its terms on August 20, 2010.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, on August 20, 2010, Allscripts and Misys entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which each party will continue to provide to the other certain services and personnel to support the other’s business, which services were previously provided under the Shared Services Agreement. The services that Misys agreed to provide Allscripts under the Transition Services Agreement include research and development services, customer support services and information systems services while Allscripts agreed to provide Misys financial services and tax services.

As of December 31, 2010, and May 31, 2010 and 2009, $1,488, $1,635 and $1,212, respectively, was owed to Misys under these agreements. Expenses incurred under these services agreements were as follows:

Acquisition-Related Transaction Costs

During fiscal year 2009, Misys paid $6,137 on MHS’ behalf for acquisition-related transaction costs for investment banking fees, loan commitment fees, legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the 2008 Transactions. These payments were accounted for as a deemed distribution from parent for acquisition-related transaction costs (see Notes 2 and 15).

Proprietary Software License

On October 10, 2008, Misys Open Source Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of Misys, licensed to MHS on a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide basis the proprietary components of the Misys Connect software owned by Misys’ open source division for use in healthcare information technology products and services (the “Proprietary License”). Under the terms of the Proprietary License, MHS, Allscripts and Allscripts’ wholly-owned subsidiaries may license use of the proprietary Misys Connect software to their customers and are responsible for maintaining and supporting their customers’ use of the licensed Misys Connect software. The Proprietary Software License Agreement was entered into before Allscripts and Misys became related parties.

Misys Stock Award Plans

Allscripts employees participated in several share based compensation plans maintained by Misys (see Note 9).

18. Contingencies

On August 4, 2009, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, Glen Tullman and William Davis by the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 630 Pension-Annuity Trust Fund on behalf of a purported class consisting of stockholders who purchased Allscripts common stock between May 8, 2007 and February 13, 2008. On October 13, 2009, David Robb was

appointed lead plaintiff, and on November 25, 2009, an amended complaint was filed containing allegations that the Company, Tullman and Davis made materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with the release of TouchWorks EHR, Version 11. On January 11, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On April 13, 2010, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs failed to sufficiently describe the confidential sources upon which the allegations in the amended complaint were based. On May 12, 2010, the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead. On May 14, 2010, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which attributed certain allegations to four different confidential witnesses, but made no other substantive changes. On June 11, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The motion is fully briefed and awaiting ruling.

On April 22, 2009, Doctors Administrative Solutions, LLC (“DAS”), a former reseller of Misys MyWay software, filed a lawsuit against Allscripts, LLC in state court in Tampa, Florida alleging breach of warranty, breach of contract, and tortious interference with prospective business relationships. Allscripts, LLC removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, after which DAS filed an amended complaint adding additional claims for breach of contract, specific performance, and declaratory judgment, and seeking damages and injunctive relief. The Company answered and counterclaimed against DAS for breaches of contract and trademark infringement. The case is currently scheduled for a bench trial in May 2011.

On or about June 15, 2010, Rajesh Nama, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of DeKalb County, State of Georgia, captioned Nama v. Pead, et al. The lawsuit names Allscripts, Arsenal Merger Corp. (“Arsenal”), Eclipsys, and each of the directors of Eclipsys as defendants. On or about June 17, 2010, John Scoggins, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a second purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same defendants (except not Arsenal) captioned Scoggins v. Eclipsys Corp., et al. On or about June 18, 2010, Colleen Witmer, on behalf of herself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a third purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same defendants as the first case and captioned Witmer v. Casey, et al. On or about June 22, 2010, Michael Hiers, on behalf of himself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a fourth purported class action complaint in the same court and against the same parties as the first case and captioned Hiers v. Casey, et al. On or about June 22, 2010, the Iron Workers of Western Pennsylvania Pension Plan, on behalf of itself and the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a fifth purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia, and against the same defendants as the first case (except not Allscripts or Arsenal) and captioned Iron Workers of W. Pennsylvania Pension Plan v. Pead, et al.

On or about June 30, 2010, the plaintiff in the Iron Workers case dismissed its complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of Georgia and refiled its complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, State of Georgia. On or about July 9, 2010, the plaintiff in the Iron Workers case filed an Amended Complaint. On or about July 9, 2010, Jody Madala, individually and on behalf of the public stockholders of Eclipsys, filed a sixth purported class action complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, State of Georgia against the same defendants as the first case (except not Allscripts or Arsenal) captioned Madala v. Pead et al. The cases in the Superior Court of DeKalb County were subsequently transferred to the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Business Case Division.

The lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Eclipsys directors breached their fiduciary duties and that Eclipsys aided and abetted those breaches. Five of the complaints (excepting the first) also allege facts concerning the proposed secondary public offering of certain Allscripts shares owned by Misys and the buy back by Allscripts of certain shares owned by Misys. Certain lawsuits also contain allegations that the joint proxy statement/prospectus/information statement on Form S-4 is materially misleading in certain respects including the omission of information concerning certain financial projections and whether or how the parties and their financial advisors have accounted for certain proceeds to be paid to Misys in the stock buy back. Certain lawsuits also allege that Allscripts aided and abetted such alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the directors of Eclipsys. Based on these allegations, the lawsuits seek, among other relief, rescission of the merger or damages. They also purport to seek recovery of the costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

121


On or about July 27, 2010, the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Business Case Division, granted the Eclipsys defendants’ motion to dismiss the Iron Workers’ Amended Complaint. On or about August 5, 2010, the Georgia Court of Appeals denied Iron Workers’ emergency request for an injunction pending appeal. The appeal was then briefed in the ordinary course. On November 12, 2010, Iron Workers moved to dismiss its appeal, which the Georgia Court of Appeals granted, rendering conclusive the Superior Court’s dismissal with prejudice of the Iron Workers lawsuit.

Also on November 12, 2010, the plaintiff in the Madala case filed a motion to amend her complaint and to lift the litigation stay that had been entered by the Superior Court in the other five cases listed above pending the Iron Workers appeal. Defendants opposed Madala’s motion. On January 19, 2011, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal, pursuant to which the Superior Court dismissed Madala’s claims with prejudice. The remaining four lawsuits remain stayed by the Superior Court.

The outcome of any such litigation is inherently uncertain. Each company may incur substantial defense costs and expenses. An unfavorable outcome may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, other pending and potential legal actions for damages and other matters arising in the normal conduct of our business, including intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other intellectual property violation claims. The matter described below relates to an intellectual property claim asserted against the Company. The Company believes that the matter described in the next paragraph is not material and does not relate to the core of the Company’s applications. The Company also believes that it has strong defensive positions in such matter, but the outcomes of patent and other intellectual property lawsuits are often uncertain and such lawsuits are typically expensive to litigate.

On September 14, 2010, Pegasus Imaging Corporation (“Pegasus”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and AllscriptsMisys, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The lawsuit also named former officers Jeffrey Amrein and John Reinhart as defendants. Prior to serving the complaint, Pegasus filed an amended complaint dropping two of the claims that had been asserted and adding two additional defendants, which are two now-defunct Florida corporations that formerly did business with the Company. The amended complaint asserts causes of action against defendants for fraudulent misrepresentations, negligent misrepresentations, and deceptive and unfair trade practices under Florida law, arising from previous business dealings between Pegasus and Advanced Imaging Concepts, Inc., a software company based in Louisville, Kentucky that the Company purchased in August 2003. On or about November 1, 2010, Defendants moved to transfer the case to the special court for complex business litigation that resides in Hillsborough County, Florida. The Florida Business Court granted Defendants’ motion for transfer on January 13, 2011. The Defendants also filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on November 16, 2010 and December 6, 2010, that are still pending before the Florida Business Court. Discovery in this matter is ongoing. No trial date has been set.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this transition report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over its financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In undertaking this assessment, management used the criteria established by the Committee of the Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission contained in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the COSO criteria. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, also performed an audit of the effectiveness of Allscripts’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Their report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Allscripts’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. This report appears under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under the heading Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

On August 24, 2010, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and Eclipsys Corporation completed the Eclipsys Merger. During the period leading up to the merger, there were no changes to either company’s internal controls over financial reporting that were reasonably likely to have a material effect. For the post-merger period, management has maintained the operational integrity of each company’s legacy controls over financial reporting. In addition, management designed and tested new controls over financial reporting which supported the accuracy of the financial presentation of the merged Company’s operations.

8. Payment of Account. Payment of the Cash Retainer and RSU Sub-Accounts of the Participant’s Account shall be made in a lump sum to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s beneficiary, as provided in Section 10) in shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to each Sub-Account (provided that any fractional Deferred Stock Units shall be paid in cash based on the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the payment date), as provided below.

9. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Exhibit A) the Account of each Participant shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in cash within five business days after the date of the Change of Control, in an amount equal to the result of multiplying (i) the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account on the Change of Control date by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Change of Control date.

 

- 4 -


10. Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as his beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom payment under the Plan shall be paid in the event of his or her death prior to payment to the Participant of his or her Account. Any beneficiary designation may be made or changed by a Participant by a written instrument, in such form prescribed by the Committee, which is filed with the Company prior to the Participant’s death. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

11. Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall reduce the Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account or adversely affect the rights of a Participant to such Deferred Stock Units, without the consent of the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any Participant (or beneficiary) if necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements, or avoid the application, of Section 409A.

12. General Provisions

(a) Unfunded Plan. The Company’s obligation to make payment under the Plan shall be contractual only and all payments hereunder shall be made by the Company from its general assets at the time and in the manner provided for in the Plan. No funds, securities or other property of any nature shall be segregated or earmarked for any current or former Participant, beneficiary or other person, and his or her sole right is as a general creditor of the Company with an unsecured claim against its general assets.

(b) Non-Alienation of Benefits. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any rights to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, or otherwise encumber the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan to the Participant or any other person. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer or pledge shall be null and void and without any legal effect. No part of the amounts payable under the Plan shall be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

(c) Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan will be construed, administered or deemed amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A to avoid taxation under section 409A to the extent Section 409A applies to the Plan. The Committee, in its sole discretion shall determine the requirements of Section 409A that are applicable to the Plan and shall interpret the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith. Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company or any affiliate or any of its or their employees, officers, directors, service providers or agents have any liability to any person for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under the Plan, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A.

 

- 5 -


(d) No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Deferred Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account until the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant (or the beneficiary of the Participant).

(e) Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be enforced as if the invalid provisions had never been set forth therein.

(f) Successors in Interest. The obligation of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor or successors of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, and for this purpose reference herein to the Company shall be deemed to include any such successor or successors.

(g) Governing Law; Interpretation. The Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

 

- 6 -


Exhibit A

For purposes of the Plan, “Change of Control” means and shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the first to occur of the events set forth below, which are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5):

(a) The date of acquisition by any person or group other than the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (and other than any employee benefit plans (or related trust) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) of beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than thirty percent (30%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities which generally entitle the holder thereof to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Power”); provided, however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of any such acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, after such acquisition, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the Voting Power of such corporation are then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the stock and Voting Power of the Company immediately before such acquisition, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before such acquisition; or

(b) The date the individuals who constitute the Board as of immediately following the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason other than their deaths to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the Effective Date whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered, for purposes of this section, as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 under the 1934 Act); or

(c) The Company effects (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations or entities, as a result of which the holders of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation hold less than 50% of the Voting Power of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; (ii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (iii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than to an entity of which the Company owns at least 50% of the Voting Power.

For purposes of the foregoing definition, the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” and “person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in SEC rules 13d-5(b) under the 1934 Act, and “group” means two or more persons acting together in such a way to be deemed a person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the definition of Change of Control set forth herein shall not be broader than the definition of “change in control event” as set forth under Section 409A of the Code, and the guidance promulgated thereunder, and if a transaction or event does not otherwise fall within such definition of change in control event, it shall not be deemed a Change of Control for purposes of this Plan.

WHEREAS, {Last Name} is expected to perform valuable services for the Company as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that {Last Name} be given a proprietary interest in the Company and an incentive to advance the interests of the Company by possessing units that are settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

 

  (a) Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to {Last Name} an award of              restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Unit Award”),              of which shall be vested and unrestricted on the Grant Date and              of which shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Sections 2 and 4 hereof.

 

  (b) Transferability. Restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award and not then vested and unrestricted may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, alienate, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such restricted stock units, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately become null and void.

 

2. Vesting.

 

  (a)

Time Vesting. Subject to Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 4,              restricted stock units, being all of the restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unvested, shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with the following schedule: Vesting shall occur in four (4) equal monthly installments, commencing on the last day of the month in which the Grant Date occurs and ending on the last day of the month which is three (3) months following the month in which the Grant Date occurs; provided, however, that if the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders occurs prior to the time that all restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are vested, the restricted


 

stock units which are unvested on the date of such annual meeting of stockholders shall immediately vest and become unrestricted on the date of such annual meeting of stockholders. Upon such vesting the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested restricted stock units shall not be issued, but the issuance of such shares instead shall be deferred in accordance with Section 2(c).

 

  (b)

Accelerated Vesting. If {Last Name} continues to be a director of the Company from the date of this Agreement until the occurrence of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which has not become vested and unrestricted under Section 2(a) at the date of such event shall immediately vest and become unrestricted with respect to 100% of the restricted stock units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control and upon such vesting the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested restricted stock units shall be issued to {Last Name}. A “Change of Control” shall mean and be determined to have occurred upon any one of the following events: (i) the date of acquisition by any person or group other than any subsidiary of the Company (or any employee benefit plans (or related trust) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) acquires beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than thirty percent (30%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities which generally entitle the holder thereof to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Power”), provided, however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of any such acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, after such acquisition, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the Voting Power of such corporation are then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the stock and Voting Power of Company immediately before such acquisition, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before such acquisition; or (ii) the date the individuals who constitute the Board as of the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason other than their deaths to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the date of this Agreement whose election or nomination for election by Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered, for purposes of this definition, as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened solicitation by a person or group other than the Board for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by any other person or group with respect to the election or removal of directors of Company; or (iii) Company effects (A) a merger or consolidation of Company with one or more corporations or entities, as a result of which the holders of the outstanding Voting Stock of Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation hold less than 50% of the Voting Power of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; (B) a liquidation or dissolution of Company; or (C) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company other than to an

 

2


 

entity of which Company owns at least 50% of the Voting Power. For purposes of the foregoing definition, the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” and “person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in SEC rules 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), and “group” means two or more persons acting together in such a way to be deemed a person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the definition of Change of Control set forth herein shall not be broader than the definition of “change in control event” as set forth under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), and the guidance promulgated thereunder, and if a transaction or event does not otherwise fall within such definition of change of control event, it shall not be deemed a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement.

 

  (c) Deferral of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), upon the date restricted stock units subject to this Agreement become vested and unrestricted, the shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units shall not be issued, but the issuance of such shares shall instead be deferred until the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Distribution Date” means the date which is the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless {Last Name} filed an election with the Company prior to January 1, 2011 to have the issuance of such shares deferred until {Last Name} ceases to be a director of the Company even if such cessation occurs later than the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) five (5) business days following the date on which {Last Name} ceases to be a director of the Company and (iii) the date of consummation of a Change of Control. On the Distribution Date, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each vested restricted stock unit, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and the Company will issue such shares of Common Stock to {Last Name}.

 

3. No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. {Last Name} shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock), unless and until, and only to the extent, the Restricted Stock Unit Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to {Last Name} on the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as such shares of Common Stock are issued, or the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement are cancelled, whichever occurs first, {Last Name} will be credited with amounts equal to any cash dividends that would be payable to {Last Name} if such underlying shares of Common Stock had been issued to {Last Name}, which amounts shall accrue until the Distribution Date and be paid in cash on the Distribution Date. If restricted stock units subject to this Agreement are cancelled, any amounts credited to such units will be forfeited. This Section 3 will not apply with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the Distribution Date.

4. Termination of Unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award. If {Last Name}’s service as a director of the Company terminates by reason of the death or disability of {Last Name}, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of termination shall immediately vest and become unrestricted. If {Last Name}’s service as a director of the Company terminates for any other reason, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by {Last Name}, such portion shall be cancelled by the Company and {Last Name} shall promptly return this Agreement to the Company for cancellation and agrees to execute any document required by the Company in connection with such forfeiture. Such cancellation shall be effective regardless of whether {Last Name} returns this Agreement.

 

5. Adjustment in Event of Happening of Condition.

In the event that there is any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then the number of restricted stock units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award that are unvested or vested and deferred shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in issued shares.

If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined, or be changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into equity securities of another corporation, whether through recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement that are unvested or vested and deferred shall be adjusted equitably so that the securities received upon distribution shall be the same as if the distribution had occurred immediately prior to such recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale of the Company through a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets where all or part of the consideration is stock, cash or other securities or property (where such event is not a Change of Control as defined in Section 2(b) above) (a “Transaction”), the restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award, whether unvested or vested and deferred, shall be assumed or an award of equivalent value shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock Unit Award, then simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, {Last Name} shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock Unit Award and all restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become unrestricted. For the purposes of this Section 5, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Transaction, the Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive, for each restricted stock unit subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award which immediately prior to the Transaction is unvested or vested and deferred, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of

 

4


a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the distribution of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock in the Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

6. Provisions of Plan. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). In the event a provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. {Last Name} acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

7. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. In the event the terms of this Agreement would subject {Last Name} to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Penalties”), the Company and {Last Name} shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided that in no event shall the Company be responsible for any 409A Penalties that arise in connection with any amounts payable under this Agreement. To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to {Last Name}’s “ceasing to be a director of the Company,” such term shall be deemed to refer to {Last Name}’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if {Last Name} is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of {Last Name}’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable to {Last Name} (i) is payable upon {Last Name}’s separation from service and (ii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of {Last Name}’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service and (b) the date of {Last Name}’s death.

 

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

  (a) Time Vesting. Subject to this Section 2, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Exhibit A hereto.

 

  (b)

Accelerated Vesting for Termination following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in another written agreement between «Last_Name» and the Company, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company in which the successor company (including the parent of any surviving corporation in a merger) assumes or substitutes the Restricted Stock Unit Award, if «Last_Name»’s employment with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) is terminated within 24 months following such Change in Control (or within three months prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control)


 

without Cause by the Company or the successor company or by «Last_Name» for Good Reason, all restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit Award outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment (or as of the date of the Change in Control if termination occurred prior to and in connection with the Change in Control) shall lapse and the restricted stock units shall become free of all restrictions.

 

  (c) Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the date restricted stock units subject to this Agreement become vested and unrestricted, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each restricted stock unit that vests on such date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company will transfer such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name» upon satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations.

 

  (d) Other Defined Terms.

Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful or grossly negligent failure by «Last_Name» to perform his or her duties and obligations hereunder in any material respect, other than any such failure resulting from the disability of «Last_Name», (ii) «Last_Name»’s conviction of a crime or offense involving the property of the Company, or any crime or offense constituting a felony or involving fraud or moral turpitude; (iii) «Last_Name»’s violation of any law, which violation is materially and demonstrably injurious to the operations or reputation of the Company; or (iv) «Last_Name»’s material violation of any generally recognized policy of the Company.

A “Change in Control” shall mean and be determined to have occurred upon any one of the following events: (i) the date any person or group other than any subsidiary of the Company (or any employee benefit plans (or related trust) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) acquires beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than thirty percent (30%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities which generally entitle the holder thereof to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Power”), provided, however, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of any such acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, after such acquisition, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the Voting Power of such corporation are then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the stock and Voting Power of Company immediately before such acquisition, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before such acquisition; or (ii) the date the individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason other than their deaths to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the date of this Agreement whose election or nomination for election by Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the


Incumbent Board shall be considered, for purposes of this definition, as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened solicitation by a person or group other than the Board for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by any other person or group with respect to the election or removal of directors of the Company; or (iii) Company effects (A) a merger, reorganization or consolidation of Company with one or more corporations or entities, as a result of which the holders of the outstanding Voting Stock of Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation hold less than 50% of the Voting Power of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company other than to an entity of which Company owns at least 50% of the Voting Power. For purposes of the foregoing definition, the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” and “person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in SEC rules 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), and “group” means two or more persons acting together in such a way to be deemed a person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the definition of Change in Control set forth herein shall not be broader than the definition of “change in control event” as set forth under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the guidance promulgated thereunder, and if a transaction or event does not otherwise fall within such definition of change in control event, it shall not be deemed a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean (i) any significant diminution in «Last_Name»’s responsibilities from and after the date of the Change in Control, (ii) any material reduction in the annual salary or target incentive cash compensation of «Last_Name» from and after the date of the Change in Control or (iii) any requirement after the date of the Change in Control (or prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control) to relocate to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the principal work location of «Last_Name»; provided, however, that the occurrence of any such condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless «Last_Name» provides written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition not later than 90 days after the initial existence of such condition, and the Company shall have failed to remedy such condition within 30 days after receipt of such notice.

 

3.

No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. «Last_Name» shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units subject to this Agreement (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock), unless and until, and only to the extent, the Restricted Stock Unit Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name». Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the restrictions lapse, an amount equal to any cash dividends that would have been payable to «Last_Name» if the shares of


 

Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement had been issued to «Last_Name» during the restriction period shall be paid in cash to «Last_Name» with respect to the actual number of restricted stock units that have vested. This Section 3 will not apply with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the restriction period has lapsed.

 

4. Termination of Unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award.

 

  (a) Subject to Section 2 and subsection 4(b) below, if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated for any reason, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company.

 

  (b) If, on the date «Last_Name»’s employment terminates, there is a written employment agreement in place between «Last_Name» and the Company (or between «Last_Name» and an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer), then, in the event of a conflict, the terms of such written employment agreement regarding vesting upon termination shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement, except that the terms of such employment agreement relating to vesting upon a termination due to a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) shall not apply and such terms shall not prevail over the terms of this Agreement. Upon such a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) then, per subsection 4(a) above, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such portion shall be canceled by the Company, regardless of the terms of any employment agreement.

 

5. Adjustment in Event of Happening of Condition.

In the event that there is any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then the number of unvested and restricted stock units subject to this Restricted Stock Award shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in issued shares.

If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined, or be changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into equity securities of another corporation, whether through recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby the unvested restricted stock units subject to this Agreement shall be adjusted equitably so that the securities received upon vesting shall be the same as if the vesting had occurred immediately prior to such recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale of the Company through a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets where all or part of the consideration is stock, cash or other securities or property (a “Transaction”), the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be assumed or an award of equivalent value shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock Unit Award, then simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, «Last_Name» shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock Unit Award and all restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become unrestricted. For the purposes of this Section 5, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Transaction, the Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive, for each restricted stock unit subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award and unvested immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock in the Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

6. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving «Last_Name» the right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

 

7. Provisions of Plan. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). In the event a provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. «Last_Name» acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

8.

Withholding of Taxes; Section 409A. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold from any amounts due and payable by the Company to «Last_Name» (or to secure payment from «Last_Name» in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company (“Required Tax Payments”) with respect to any restricted stock units which become vested and unrestricted under this Agreement, and the Company may defer issuance of Common Stock underlying such restricted stock units until such amounts are paid or withheld. «Last_Name» shall satisfy his or her Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock (for which «Last_Name» has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan),


 

determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered to the holder pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award, a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (4) a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company through whom «Last_Name» has sold the shares with respect to which the Required Tax Payments have arisen or (5) any combination of (1), (2) and (3). The Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion to disapprove of an election pursuant to any of clauses (2)-(5) for any holder who is not an “officer” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Unless and until the Company determines otherwise, the method in clause (3) above shall be utilized. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder. No certificate representing a share of Common Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

It is intended that any amounts payable under this Restricted Stock Unit Award comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject << Last Name >> to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A after the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Award would result in << Last Name >> being subject to payment of interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the parties agree to amend this Restricted Stock Unit Award in order to bring this Restricted Stock Unit Award into compliance with Code Section 409A. No amount shall be payable pursuant to a termination of << Last Name >>’s employment unless such termination constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable upon << Last Name >>’s separation from service are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and if << Last Name >> is at such time a specified employee under Section 409A, then to the extent required under Section 409A payment of such amounts shall be postponed until six (6) months following the date of << Last Name >>’s separation from service (or until any earlier date of << Last Name >> death), upon which date all such postponed amounts shall be paid to << Last Name >> in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether << Last Name >> is a specified employee shall made by the Company in accordance with Section 409A.

 

9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.

WHEREAS, «Last_Name» is expected to perform valuable services for the Company and the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that «Last_Name» be given a proprietary interest in the Company and an incentive to advance the interests of the Company by possessing units that are settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

1. Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units.

 

  (a) Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to «Last_Name» a target award of              performance-based restricted stock units (the “Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award”), which shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

 

  (b) Transferability. Performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award and not then vested and unrestricted may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, alienate, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such performance-based restricted stock units, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately become null and void.

 

2. Vesting.

 

  (a) Performance-Based Vesting. Subject to this Section 2, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Exhibit A hereto.

 

  (b)

Accelerated Vesting for Termination following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in another written agreement between «Last_Name» and the Company, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, (i) all unearned


 

performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be deemed to be earned at 100% of target level and such number of performance-based restricted stock units shall remain unvested and shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule, and (ii) all earned and unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall remain unvested and shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule. If «Last_Name»’s employment with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) is terminated within 24 months following such Change in Control (or within three months prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control) without Cause by the Company or the successor company or by «Last_Name» for Good Reason, all earned and unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment (or as of the date of the Change in Control if termination occurred prior to and in connection with the Change in Control) shall vest.

 

  (c) Settlement of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Upon the date performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement become vested and unrestricted, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each performance-based restricted stock unit that vests on such date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company will transfer such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name» upon satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations.

 

  (d) Other Defined Terms.

Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful or grossly negligent failure by «Last_Name» to perform his or her duties and obligations hereunder in any material respect, other than any such failure resulting from the disability of «Last_Name», (ii) «Last_Name»’s conviction of a crime or offense involving the property of the Company, or any crime or offense constituting a felony or involving fraud or moral turpitude; (iii) «Last_Name»’s violation of any law, which violation is materially and demonstrably injurious to the operations or reputation of the Company; or (iv) «Last_Name»’s material violation of any generally recognized policy of the Company.

Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall mean and be determined to have occurred upon any one of the following events: (i) the date any person or group other than any subsidiary of the Company (or any employee benefit plans (or related trust) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) acquires beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than thirty percent (30%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities which generally entitle the holder thereof to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Power”), provided, however, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of any such acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, after such acquisition, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then


outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the Voting Power of such corporation are then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the stock and Voting Power of Company immediately before such acquisition, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before such acquisition; or (ii) the date the individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason other than their deaths to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the date of this Agreement whose election or nomination for election by Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered, for purposes of this definition, as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened solicitation by a person or group other than the Board for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by any other person or group with respect to the election or removal of directors of the Company; or (iii) Company effects (A) a merger, reorganization or consolidation of Company with one or more corporations or entities, as a result of which the holders of the outstanding Voting Stock of Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation hold less than 50% of the Voting Power of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company other than to an entity of which Company owns at least 50% of the Voting Power. For purposes of the foregoing definition, the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” and “person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in SEC rules 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), and “group” means two or more persons acting together in such a way to be deemed a person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the definition of Change in Control set forth herein shall not be broader than the definition of “change in control event” as set forth under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the guidance promulgated thereunder, and if a transaction or event does not otherwise fall within such definition of change in control event, it shall not be deemed a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean (i) any significant diminution in «Last_Name»’s responsibilities from and after the date of the Change in Control, (ii) any material reduction in the annual salary or target incentive cash compensation of «Last_Name» from and after the date of the Change in Control or (iii) any requirement after the date of the Change in Control (or prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control) to relocate to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the principal work location of «Last_Name»; provided, however, that the occurrence of any such condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless «Last_Name» provides written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition not later than 90 days after the initial existence of such condition, and the Company shall have failed to remedy such condition within 30 days after receipt of such notice.


3. No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. «Last_Name» shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock), unless and until, and only to the extent, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name». Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the restrictions lapse, an amount equal to any cash dividends that would have been payable to «Last_Name» if the shares of Common Stock underlying the performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement had been issued to «Last_Name» during the restriction period shall be paid in cash to «Last_Name» with respect to the actual number of performance-based restricted stock units that have vested. This Section 3 will not apply with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the restriction period has lapsed.

 

4. Termination of Employment.

 

  (a) Subject to Section 2 and Section 4(d), if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated by the Company for Cause or by «Last_Name»’s resignation, the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unearned or which are earned and unvested as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such performance-based restricted stock units shall be cancelled by the Company.

 

  (b)

Subject to Section 2 and Sections 4(c) and 4(d), if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated by the Company without “Cause,” (i) the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unearned as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such performance-based restricted stock units shall be cancelled by the Company, (ii) the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are earned and unvested as of the date of termination and are scheduled to vest on the anniversary of the Grant Date next following the date of termination shall vest on a pro-rata basis, the number of which shall be determined by multiplying the number of such performance-based restricted stock units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed between (x) the anniversary of the Grant Date immediately preceding the date of termination and (y) the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 365, provided that «Last_Name» shall have delivered to the Company a release in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, and (iii) the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which


 

are earned and unvested as of the date of termination and are scheduled to vest after the anniversary of the Grant Date next following the date of termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such performance-based restricted stock units shall be cancelled by the Company.

 

  (c) Subject to Section 2 and Section 4(d), if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated due to the death of «Last_Name» or terminated by the Company due to the Disability of «Last_Name», (i) the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unearned as of the date of termination shall be deemed to be earned at 100% of target level and the number of performance-based restricted stock units so earned shall vest, and (ii) the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are earned and unvested as of the date of termination shall vest. “Disability” shall have the meaning provided in Treas. Reg. §1.409(4)(i).

 

  (d) If, on the date «Last_Name»’s employment terminates, there is a written employment agreement in place between «Last_Name» and the Company (or between «Last_Name» and an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer), then, in the event of a conflict, the terms of such written employment agreement regarding vesting upon termination shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that any accelerated vesting shall be subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions as described herein and be based on the level achieved hereunder), except that the terms of such employment agreement relating to vesting upon a termination due to a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) shall not apply and such terms shall not prevail over the terms of this Agreement. Upon such a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) then, per subsection 4(a) above, the portion of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company, regardless of the terms of any employment agreement.

 

5. Adjustment in Event of Happening of Condition.

In the event that there is any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then the number of unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in issued shares.

If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined, or be changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into equity securities of another corporation, whether through recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby the unvested


performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement shall be adjusted equitably so that the securities received upon vesting shall be the same as if the vesting had occurred immediately prior to such recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale of the Company through a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets where all or part of the consideration is stock, cash or other securities or property (a “Transaction”), the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be assumed or an award of equivalent value shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, then simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, «Last_Name» shall fully vest in the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award (i.e., at 100% of target) and all performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become unrestricted. For the purposes of this Section 5, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Transaction, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive, for each performance-based restricted stock unit subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award and unvested immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock in the Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

6. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving «Last_Name» the right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

 

7. Provisions of Plan. This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). In the event a provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. «Last_Name» acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

8.

Withholding of Taxes; Section 409A. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold from any amounts due and payable by the Company to «Last_Name» (or to secure payment from «Last_Name» in lieu of withholding) the


 

amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company (“Required Tax Payments”) with respect to any performance-based restricted stock units which become vested and unrestricted under this Agreement, and the Company may defer issuance of Common Stock underlying such performance-based restricted stock units until such amounts are paid or withheld. «Last_Name» shall satisfy his or her Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock (for which «Last_Name» has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered to the holder pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (4) a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company through whom «Last_Name» has sold the shares with respect to which the Required Tax Payments have arisen or (5) any combination of (1), (2) and (3). The Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion to disapprove of an election pursuant to any of clauses (2)-(5) for any holder who is not an “officer” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Unless and until the Company determines otherwise, the method in clause (3) above shall be utilized. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder. No certificate representing a share of Common Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

It is intended that any amounts payable under this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject << Last Name >> to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A after the date of this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award would result in << Last Name >> being subject to payment of interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the parties agree to amend this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award in order to bring this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award into compliance with Code Section 409A. No amount shall be payable pursuant to a termination of << Last Name >>’s employment unless such termination constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable upon << Last Name >>’s separation from service are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and if << Last Name >> is at such time a specified employee under Section 409A, then to the extent required under Section 409A payment of such amounts shall be postponed until six (6) months following the date of << Last Name >>’s separation from service (or until any earlier date of << Last Name >> death), upon which date all such postponed amounts shall be paid to <<


Last Name >> in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether << Last Name >> is a specified employee shall made by the Company in accordance with Section 409A.

 

9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.40

ALLSCRIPTS HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS, INC.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Performance-Based Vesting – Relative TSR

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of                     , 2011 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and «First_Name» «Last_Name» («Last_Name»)

WHEREAS, «Last_Name» is expected to perform valuable services for the Company and the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that «Last_Name» be given a proprietary interest in the Company and an incentive to advance the interests of the Company by possessing units that are settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

 

1. Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units.

 

  (a) Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to «Last_Name» a target award of              performance-based restricted stock units (the “Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award”), which shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

 

  (b) Transferability. Performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award and not then vested and unrestricted may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, alienate, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such performance-based restricted stock units, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately become null and void.

 

2. Vesting.

 

  (a) Performance-Based Vesting. Subject to this Section 2, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Exhibit A hereto.

 

  (b)

Accelerated Vesting for Termination following a Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided in another written agreement between «Last_Name» and the Company, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, (i) all unearned performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based


 

Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be deemed to be earned based on relative TSR (as such term is defined in Exhibit A hereto), the number of which shall be determined based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock being the closing price on the date of the consummation of the Change in Control and the market price of the Company’s Comparison Group (as such term is defined in Exhibit A hereto) being an average of the closing prices for the 30-day period ending five business days prior to such consummation, and (ii) all such earned performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall remain unvested and shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule. If «Last_Name»’s employment with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) is terminated within 24 months following such Change in Control (or within three months prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control) without Cause by the Company or the successor company or by «Last_Name» for Good Reason, all earned and unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment (or as of the date of the Change in Control if termination occurred prior to and in connection with the Change in Control) shall vest and be distributed.

 

  (c) Settlement of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Upon the date performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement become vested and unrestricted, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each performance-based restricted stock unit that vests on such date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company will transfer such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name» upon satisfaction of any required tax withholding obligations.

 

  (d) Other Defined Terms.

Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful or grossly negligent failure by «Last_Name» to perform his or her duties and obligations hereunder in any material respect, other than any such failure resulting from the disability of «Last_Name», (ii) «Last_Name»’s conviction of a crime or offense involving the property of the Company, or any crime or offense constituting a felony or involving fraud or moral turpitude; (iii) «Last_Name»’s violation of any law, which violation is materially and demonstrably injurious to the operations or reputation of the Company; or (iv) «Last_Name»’s material violation of any generally recognized policy of the Company.

Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall mean and be determined to have occurred upon any one of the following events: (i) the date any person or group other than any subsidiary of the Company (or any employee benefit plans (or related trust) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) acquires beneficial ownership of securities possessing more than thirty percent (30%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities which generally entitle the holder thereof to vote for the election of directors

 

2


(“Voting Power”), provided, however, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of any such acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, after such acquisition, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the Voting Power of such corporation are then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the stock and Voting Power of Company immediately before such acquisition, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately before such acquisition; or (ii) the date the individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason other than their deaths to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the date of this Agreement whose election or nomination for election by Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered, for purposes of this definition, as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened solicitation by a person or group other than the Board for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by any other person or group with respect to the election or removal of directors of the Company; or (iii) Company effects (A) a merger, reorganization or consolidation of Company with one or more corporations or entities, as a result of which the holders of the outstanding Voting Stock of Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation hold less than 50% of the Voting Power of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company other than to an entity of which Company owns at least 50% of the Voting Power. For purposes of the foregoing definition, the terms “beneficially owned” and “beneficial ownership” and “person” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in SEC rules 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), and “group” means two or more persons acting together in such a way to be deemed a person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the definition of Change in Control set forth herein shall not be broader than the definition of “change in control event” as set forth under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the guidance promulgated thereunder, and if a transaction or event does not otherwise fall within such definition of change in control event, it shall not be deemed a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean (i) any significant diminution in «Last_Name»‘s responsibilities from and after the date of the Change in Control, (ii) any material reduction in the annual salary or target incentive cash compensation of «Last_Name» from and after the date of the Change in Control or (iii) any requirement after the date of the Change in Control (or prior thereto in connection with the Change in Control) to relocate to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the principal work location of «Last_Name»; provided,

 

3


however, that the occurrence of any such condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless «Last_Name» provides written notice to the Company of the existence of such condition not later than 90 days after the initial existence of such condition, and the Company shall have failed to remedy such condition within 30 days after receipt of such notice.

 

3. No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. «Last_Name» shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock), unless and until, and only to the extent, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to «Last_Name». Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the restrictions lapse, an amount equal to any cash dividends that would have been payable to «Last_Name» if the shares of Common Stock underlying the performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement had been issued to «Last_Name» during the restriction period shall be paid in cash to «Last_Name» with respect to the actual number of performance-based restricted stock units that have vested. This Section 3 will not apply with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the restriction period has lapsed.

 

4. Termination of Employment.

 

  (a) Subject to Section 2 and Sections 4(b) and 4(c), if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated other than due to death and other than by the Company due to the Disability (as defined below) of «Last_Name», the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unearned as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such performance-based restricted stock units shall be cancelled by the Company.

 

  (b) Subject to Section 2 and Section 4(c), if «Last_Name»’s employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer) is terminated due to the death or Disability of «Last_Name», the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which are unearned as of the date of termination shall be deemed to be earned at 100% of target level and the number of performance-based restricted stock units so earned shall vest and be distributed.

 

  (c)

If, on the date «Last_Name»’s employment terminates, there is a written employment agreement in place between «Last_Name» and the Company (or between «Last_Name» and an affiliate of the Company if such affiliate is «Last_Name»’s employer), then, in the event of a conflict, the terms of such written employment agreement regarding vesting upon termination shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that any accelerated vesting shall be subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions as described

 

4


 

herein and be based on the level achieved hereunder), except that the terms of such employment agreement relating to vesting upon a termination due to a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) shall not apply and such terms shall not prevail over the terms of this Agreement. Upon such a resignation for constructive discharge (or a resignation due to good reason or other comparable concept) then, per subsection 4(a) above, the portion of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited by «Last_Name» and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company, regardless of the terms of any employment agreement.

 

  (d) “Disability” shall have the meaning as provided in Treas. Reg. §1.409(4)(i).

 

5. Adjustment in Event of Happening of Condition.

In the event that there is any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then the number of unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in issued shares.

If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined, or be changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into equity securities of another corporation, whether through recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby the unvested performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement shall be adjusted equitably so that the securities received upon vesting shall be the same as if the vesting had occurred immediately prior to such recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale of the Company through a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets where all or part of the consideration is stock, cash or other securities or property (a “Transaction”), the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be assumed or an award of equivalent value shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, then simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, «Last_Name» shall fully vest in the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award at the level earned prior to such Transaction and such number of performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become unrestricted. For the purposes of this Section 5, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Transaction, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive, for each performance-based restricted stock unit subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award and unvested immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Common Stock held on

 

5


the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock in the Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

6. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving «Last_Name» the right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

 

7. Provisions of Plan. This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). In the event a provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. «Last_Name» acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

8.

Withholding of Taxes; Section 409A. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold from any amounts due and payable by the Company to «Last_Name» (or to secure payment from «Last_Name» in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company (“Required Tax Payments”) with respect to any performance-based restricted stock units which become vested and unrestricted under this Agreement, and the Company may defer issuance of Common Stock underlying such performance-based restricted stock units until such amounts are paid or withheld. «Last_Name» shall satisfy his or her Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock (for which «Last_Name» has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered to the holder pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award, a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (4) a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company through whom «Last_Name» has sold the shares with respect to which the Required Tax Payments have arisen or (5) any combination of (1), (2) and (3). The Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion to disapprove of an election pursuant to any of clauses (2)-(5) for any holder who is not an “officer” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Unless and until the Company determines otherwise, the method in clause (3) above shall be utilized. Shares

of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder. No certificate representing a share of Common Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

It is intended that any amounts payable under this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject << Last Name >> to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A after the date of this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award would result in << Last Name >> being subject to payment of interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the parties agree to amend this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award in order to bring this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award into compliance with Code Section 409A. No amount shall be payable pursuant to a termination of << Last Name >>’s employment unless such termination constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A. To the extent any amounts payable upon << Last Name >>’s separation from service are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and if << Last Name >> is at such time a specified employee under Section 409A, then to the extent required under Section 409A payment of such amounts shall be postponed until six (6) months following the date of << Last Name >>’s separation from service (or until any earlier date of << Last Name >> death), upon which date all such postponed amounts shall be paid to << Last Name >> in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether << Last Name >> is a specified employee shall made by the Company in accordance with Section 409A.

 

9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day and year first above written.

Exhibit A

1. For purposes of this Exhibit:

 

   

The maximum number of performance-based restricted stock units subject to this Agreement is <            > (i.e., 160% of the target number), of which up to 33 1/3% shall be eligible for vesting with respect to attainment of the Performance Measure in each of the three Performance Periods (as such term is defined below), as set forth below but subject to the Alternative Three Year Performance Period Vested Unit Calculation (as such term is defined below).

 

   

The “Performance Measure” is relative “Total Shareholder Return” (as such term is defined below) for each Performance Period.

Following the end of each Performance Period, the Company’s Compensation Committee will certify the level of the Performance Measure achieved by the Company for such Performance Period. The performance-based restricted stock units subject to vesting during a Performance Period will be subject to forfeiture and cancellation by the Company if the Company’s performance during such Performance Period does not meet or exceed the threshold percentile rank of the Performance Measure for such Performance Period. Performance at or above the threshold level will result performance-based restricted stock units becoming vested as set forth below, and shares underlying such vested performance-based restricted stock units shall be distributed following completion of the certification described above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, following completion of the three-year period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Three Year Performance Period”), the Compensation Committee will determine the number of performance-based restricted stock units that would vest if the maximum number of performance-based restricted stock units subject to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award had been subject only to the Three Year Performance Period (the “Alternative Three Year Performance Period Vested Unit Calculation”). If the number of performance-based restricted stock units that vest pursuant to the Alternative Three Year Performance Period Vested Unit Calculation is greater than the number of performance-based restricted stock units that vest under this Agreement in the three Performance Periods described herein without regard to the Alternative Three Year Performance Period Vested Unit Calculation, then such greater number of performance-based restricted stock units shall vest pursuant to the Alternative Three Year Performance Period Vested Unit Calculation, reduced by the number of performance-based restricted stock units previously vested. Shares underlying vested performance-based restricted stock units shall be distributed following completion of the certification described above.

2. Additional Definitions.

a. “Comparison Group” means the companies listed on Appendix 1 to this Exhibit A, as may be adjusted as described below.

b. “Performance Period” means each of the following three periods:

 

  (i) the one-year period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Grant Date,

 

8


  (ii) the two-year period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and

 

  (iii) the three-year period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

c. “Total Shareholder Return” or “TSR” means total shareholder return as applied to the Company or any company in the Comparison Group, meaning stock price appreciation from the beginning to the end of the Performance Period, plus dividends and distributions made or declared (assuming such dividends or distributions are reinvested in the common stock of the Company or any company in the Comparison Group) during the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage return. Except as modified in Section 4(d), for purposes of computing TSR, the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period will be the average price of a share of common stock over the 30 trading days beginning on the first day of the Performance Period, and the stock price at the end of the Performance Period will be the average price of a share of common stock over the 30 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period, adjusted for changes in capital structure; provided, however, that TSR will be negative one hundred percent (-100%) if a company: (i) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within 30 days; (iii) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (iv) ceases to conduct substantial business operations.

3. Calculation. For purposes of the award, the number of shares earned will be calculated as follows:

FIRST: For the Company and for each other company in the Comparison Group, determine the TSR for the Performance Period.

SECOND: Rank the TSR values determined in the first step from low to high (with the company having the lowest TSR being ranked number 1, the company with the second lowest TSR ranked number 2, and so on) and determine the Company’s percentile rank based upon its position in the list by dividing the Company’s position by the total number of companies (including the Company) in the Comparison Group and rounding the quotient to the nearest hundredth. For example, if the Company were ranked 60 on the list out of 80 companies (including the Company), its percentile rank would be 75%.

THIRD: Plot the percentile rank for the Company determined in the second step into the appropriate band in the left-hand column of the table below and determine the number of shares earned as a percent of target, which is the figure in the right-hand column of the table below corresponding to that percentile rank. Use linear interpolation between points in the table below to determine the percentile rank and the corresponding share funding if the Company’s percentile rank is greater than 40% and less than 95% but not exactly one of the percentile ranks listed in the left-hand column. For example, if the Company’s percentile rank is 62.5%, then 90% of target shares would be earned.

* Payout is capped at 100% if absolute TSR is negative.

Linear interpolation between points shown.

4. Rules. The following rules apply to the computation of the number of shares earned:

a. If the Company’s absolute TSR is negative over any of the three Performance Periods, payouts shall not exceed 100% of target for that Performance Period.

b. The minimum earnout is zero and the maximum earnout is 160% of target. There is no minimum number of shares or other consideration that recipient will receive, and no shares will be earned if the percentile rank is 40th percentile or lower in a Performance Period.

c. For purposes of computing Total Shareholder Return for the Company and each other company in the Comparison Group, the stock price at the beginning and end of the Performance Period will, subject to Section 2 of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, be determined as the 30-day average closing price of the stock on each of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the first day or last day of the Performance Period, as the case may be.

d. Companies shall be removed from the Comparison Group if they undergo a Specified Corporate Change. A company that is removed from the Comparison Group before the measurement date will not be included at all in the computation of the performance factor. A company in the Comparison Group will be deemed to have undergone a “Specified Corporate Change” if it:

 

  1. ceases to be a domestically domiciled publicly traded company on a national stock exchange or market system, unless such cessation of such listing is due to a low stock price or low trading volume; or

 

  2. has gone private; or

 

  3. has reincorporated in a foreign (e.g., non-U.S.) jurisdiction, regardless of whether it is a reporting company in that or another jurisdiction; or

 

10


  4. has been acquired by another company (whether by a peer company or otherwise, but not including internal reorganizations), or has sold all or substantially all of its assets.

The Company shall rely on press releases, public filings, website postings, and other reasonably reliable information available regarding a peer company in making a determination that a Specified Corporate Change has occurred.
