Item 8.01. Other Events.
A hearing was held on February 7, 2006 before the Deputy Securities Administrator of the Office of the North Carolina Secretary of State (the “Administrator”) to consider the fairness of the terms and conditions of the proposed merger between Quattro Merger Sub Corp., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“Sub”) of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“Allscripts”), and A4 Health Systems, Inc. (“A4”), with A4 surviving the merger (the “Merger”). On February 13, 2006, the Administrator issued an order under the North Carolina securities laws approving the fairness of such terms and conditions. Such order of approval allows the common stock of Allscripts to be issued in connection with the Merger to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
At the special meeting held on February 8, 2006, the shareholders of A4 voted to approve the plan of merger contained in the Agreement of Merger, dated as of January 18, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among A4, Allscripts, Sub and John P. McConnell, in his capacity as shareholder representative. No shareholder of A4 provided notice of exercise of dissenters’ rights at such meeting.
Allscripts has been notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 has been granted in connection with the Merger.
Completion of the Merger remains subject to other closing conditions, as described further in Allscripts’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 23, 2006. Furthermore, Allscripts may not be able to complete the proposed Merger on the terms in the existing Merger Agreement or other acceptable terms or at all because of a number of factors, including the failure to obtain funds contemplated by debt commitment letters or an equity or debt financing in lieu thereof or the failure to satisfy the other closing conditions.
