Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 29, 2008, Emageon Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement Amendment") with Health Systems Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Health Systems"), and HSS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Health Systems ("Merger Sub"). Under the terms of the
Merger Agreement Amendment, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, dated October 13, 2008, by and among HSS, Merger Sub and the
Company (the "Merger Agreement"), is scheduled for February 11, 2009. In
addition, HSS and Merger Sub irrevocably and unconditionally waive the closing
conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a), (c) and (d) of the Merger Agreement,
including that the representations and warranties of the Company are true and
correct in all material respects, that there has occurred no "Company Material
Adverse Effect", as defined in the Merger Agreement, and that certain third
party consents be obtained as described in the Merger Agreement. HSS and Merger
Sub also irrevocably and unconditionally waive the closing conditions set forth
in Section 6.2(b) of the Merger Agreement as to the performance by the Company
of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the compliance by the Company
with its covenants under the Merger Agreement other than the Company's
obligations with respect to the conduct of its business prior to the Effective
Time as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, the
Merger Agreement Amendment provides that the provisions of Section 5.3 of the
Merger Agreement (Limitations on Solicitation) shall be applicable as if the
Requisite Stockholder Vote (as defined in the Merger Agreement) had not been
obtained (for purposes of the Board of Directors right to exercise their
finduciary duties). The Merger Agreement Amendment also amends the definition of
"Deposit Escrow Agreement" to reflect the deposit of an additional $4,000,000 by
HSS under the Deposit Escrow Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2008, by and
among The Bank of New York Mellon, HSS and the Company (the "Escrow Agreement").
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement Amendment is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement Amendment
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Also on December 29, 2008, the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon and HSS
entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Deposit Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow
Amendment"). Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Amendment, HSS has agreed to
deposit an additional $4,000,000 under the Escrow Agreement, increasing the
aggregate amount deposited under the Escrow Agreement to $9,000,000. Under the
terms of the Escrow Amendment, in the event the closing under the Merger
Agreement does not occur by the close of business on February 11, 2009 for any
reason other than as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement under
certain limited circumstances, the entire amount deposited under the Escrow
Agreement, including interest and investment proceeds, shall be released to the
Company on February 12, 2009. The foregoing summary of the Escrow Amendment is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Escrow
Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 29, 2008, the Company issued a joint press release with HSS
announcing that they had extended the closing date for their pending merger to
February 11, 2009. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1
hereto.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K regard
matters that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding expectations as
to the completion of the merger and other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and the Merger Agreement Amendment. These statements are often
identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect,"
"potential," "continue," "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "intend,"
"plan," "estimate," "anticipate," and comparable words or the negative version
of these and other words. Because such forward-looking statements contain risks
and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the
termination of the Merger Agreement and the possibility that the Company could
be required to pay a $3.0 million termination fee in connection therewith;
(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted
against the Company and others related to the Merger Agreement; (3) the
inability to complete the merger due to the failure to
satisfy conditions to the completion of the merger; (4) the failure to obtain
the necessary financing arrangements in connection with the merger; (5) risks
that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the
potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the merger;
(6) risks regarding a loss of or decrease in purchases by the Company's major
customers in connection with the merger; (7) the ability to recognize the
benefits of the merger; and (8) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and
charges related to the merger and the actual terms of certain financings that
will be obtained for the merger. The businesses of Emageon and Health Systems
are also subject to a number of risks generally such as: (1) competition from
larger competitors; (2) risks associated with a history of operating losses;
(3) risks associated with the ability to effectively manage rapid growth;
(4) reliance on continuing relationships with large customers; (5) risk of
significant product errors or product failures; (6) reliance on reseller
arrangements for important components of its solution; (7) the risk of not
responding effectively to changes in its industry; (8) customers' reliance on
third party reimbursements; (9) risks regarding the potential impact on its
business of FDA regulations and other applicable health care regulations; and
(10) other risks that are set forth in the "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings"
and "Management Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition" sections of, and elsewhere in, the SEC filings of Emageon and Health
Systems, copies of which may be obtained by contacting the investor relations
departments of each company via their websites www.emageon.com and . Many of the
factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of this Current
Report on Form 8-K are beyond Health Systems' and the Company's ability to
control or predict. The Company and Health Systems undertake no obligation to
release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking
statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required
