Change in Directors or Principal Officers
At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of WebMD Health Corp. (which we
refer to as "WebMD") held on December 10, 2008, stockholders of WebMD approved
an amendment (which we refer to as the "Plan Amendment") to WebMD's Amended and
Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (which we refer to as the "WebMD 2005
Plan"). The Plan Amendment increased the total number of shares of WebMD Class A
Common Stock issuable under the WebMD 2005 Plan by 5,500,000 shares, to a total
of 14,500,000 shares. On November 5, 2008, WebMD filed a Proxy Statement
relating to its 2008 Annual Meeting (which we refer to as the "WebMD 2008 Proxy
Statement"). To the extent required by Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, the disclosures
regarding the WebMD 2005 Plan and the Plan Amendment contained in "Proposal 2"
in the WebMD 2008 Proxy Statement and the copy of the WebMD 2005 Plan attached
as Annex A to the WebMD 2008 Proxy Statement are incorporated by reference
herein pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K. WebMD is a publicly
traded subsidiary of HLTH Corporation.
Following the approval of the Plan Amendment, WebMD made a broad-based grant
to its directors, officers and employees, on December 10, 2008, of equity awards
under the WebMD 2005 Plan, pursuant to which:
• options to purchase a total of approximately 5.3 million shares of WebMD
Class A Common Stock were granted, with an exercise price of $23.61 per
share (the closing price of WebMD Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market on the date of grant); and
• a total of approximately 530,000 shares of restricted WebMD Class A Common Stock were granted.
Both the options and the shares of restricted stock granted by WebMD to its
officers and employees are scheduled to vest as follows: 25% on March 31, 2010;
25% on March 31, 2011; 25% on March 31, 2012; and 25% on March 31, 2013. WebMD's
outside directors were not granted restricted stock and the options granted to
them are scheduled to vest 25% per year, on each of the first four anniversaries
of the date of grant.
HLTH Corporation also made grants of equity awards to its directors, officers
and employees on December 10, 2008, pursuant to which:
• options to purchase a total of approximately 2.2 million shares of HLTH
Common Stock were granted, with an exercise price of $9.46 per share (the
closing price of HLTH Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the
date of grant); and
• a total of approximately 375,000 shares of restricted HLTH Common Stock were granted.
The options granted by HLTH to its officers and employees are scheduled to vest
25% per year, on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant; and
the restricted stock granted to them is scheduled to vest 331/3% per year on
each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. HLTH's outside
directors were not granted restricted stock and the options granted to them are
scheduled to vest as follows: 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant
and 1/48 of the grant monthly thereafter (with full vesting on the fourth
anniversary of the date of grant).
In connection with grants made on December 10, 2008 by WebMD to Wayne
Gattinella, Chief Executive Officer of WebMD, his employment agreement with
WebMD is being amended to set forth certain terms applicable to such grants,
including:
• he may resign any time after the first anniversary of the occurrence of a Change of Control of HLTH or a Change of Control of WebMD (which are defined not to include a transaction between HLTH and WebMD), in which case the options granted to him on December 10, 2008 will continue to vest and remain outstanding through the second anniversary of the Change of Control and the portion of the restricted stock grant that would have vested through the second anniversary of the Change of Control will accelerate to the date of termination, subject to the terms of the employment agreement; and
• if his employment is terminated by WebMD without Cause or by him for Good Reason following the Change of Control, the options and restricted stock granted to him on December 10, 2008 will be treated in the same manner as described above.
In addition, the employment agreement between HLTH and Mark Funston, Chief
Financial Officer of each of HLTH and WebMD, is being amended to provide that so
long as he serves as an employee of either HLTH or WebMD, he shall not be
eligible for the severance specified in the agreement.
The employment agreements with Messrs. Gattinella and Funston and other
executive officers of HLTH are also being amended in a manner that is intended
to bring the provisions in those agreements relating to severance payments and
other post-termination compensation into compliance with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code and the final regulations thereunder. As previously
disclosed, HLTH and WebMD do not offer any deferred compensation plans and do
not offer any retirement plans, other than 401(k) plans generally available to
employees.
The employment agreements with Messrs. Gattinella and Funston, prior to the
amendments described above, were described in the Proxy Statement for HLTH's
2008 Annual Meeting, filed on November 3, 2008, under the heading "Executive
Compensation - Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers" and, to the
extent required by Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, those descriptions are incorporated by
reference into this Current Report pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form
8-K.
