The amounts in the column labeled "Bonus" will be paid to the listed executives in cash in March 2013. The amounts in the column labeled "Supplemental Bonus Plan Award" will be contributed to a trust in March 2013. In March 2014, the trust will distribute to the respective executives the contributions made to it by WebMD on their behalf, together with actual net interest earned on the contributed amounts; provided, however, that in order to receive such payment, the individual must continue to be employed by WebMD on March 1, 2014, unless their separation from employment occurs as a result of death or disability or, in certain cases, if they are terminated without cause or resign for good reason following a change in control of WebMD. The above amounts were determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. In determining the bonus for Mr. Redmond, the Compensation Committee took into consideration that he joined WebMD, as Chief Executive Officer, in the middle of the year. The Compensation Committee also approved, in its discretion, an additional bonus of $250,000 for Mr. Vuolo, payable in March 2013, in recognition of his service as Interim Chief Executive Officer of WebMD during the first half of 2012.
