22-Jun-2009

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 17, 2009, HLTH Corporation and WebMD Health Corp. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides that HLTH will merge into WebMD, with WebMD continuing as the surviving company (the "Merger"). HLTH currently owns all 48.1 million outstanding shares of WebMD Class B Common Stock. The merger will eliminate both the controlling class of WebMD stock held by HLTH and WebMD's existing dual-class stock structure. In the merger, the WebMD Class B shares will be retired and each outstanding share of HLTH Common Stock will be converted into 0.4444 shares of WebMD Common Stock. Shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock will remain outstanding and will be unchanged in the merger. A copy of the press release announcing the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants that the parties made to each other, including, among others, covenants by each of HLTH and WebMD to conduct its business in the ordinary course between the signing of the Merger Agreement and completion of the Merger, and to maintain and preserve its business organizations and relationships during such period, except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report in order to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to HLTH or WebMD. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement have been negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing the circumstances in which either party may have the right not to consummate the Merger, or a party may have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement, if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocates risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. In addition, the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors.
