We are at the beginning of what we believe will be the single fastest transformation of any industry in US history, and the combination of Eclipsys’s market-leading hospital enterprise solution with the Allscripts Electronic Health Record portfolio in the physician office and our leadership in the post-acute care market, creates the one company uniquely positioned to execute on this enormous opportunity.
Allscripts and Eclipsys, leading providers of software and information solutions in the ambulatory and acute markets respectively, will merge to form one company. With the industry’s largest network of clients on the most advanced product platform, we will be able to deliver a single patient record and a seamless patient experience.
Today: Leaders in the Physician, Post-Acute and Hospital Markets
Allscripts: The market leader in physician-office and post-acute care solutions.
Eclipsys: The leading provider of inpatient enterprise and performance management solutions.
Tomorrow: One Network. One Platform. One Patient.
The combined company will bring to market a unique platform of clinical, financial and connectivity solutions to satisfy the needs of every healthcare organization, from the smallest physician practice or homecare agency to the largest health system. The delivery of this integrated hospital and physician practice offering will be accelerated by the use of common platforms, including Microsoft.NET and other advanced technologies, in use today by both companies. Allscripts and Eclipsys also share an ‘open architecture’ approach, simplifying the connection to third-party applications across every care setting, resulting in a single patient record. No other company will be better positioned for the future of healthcare, which will favor connected communities of care providing shared access to patient information across every setting.

Strategic Rationale

| • | Addresses the market demand for a true end-to-end integrated solution |
| • | Positions company for the $16 billion integrated healthcare market |
| • | Expands client footprint to connect communities |
| • | Sets foundation for ‘next wave’ of information and connectivity products (medical home) |
Financial Rationale

| • | Accretive to non-GAAP earnings starting in calendar 2011 |
| • | Significant cost and revenue synergies |

Clients of both companies, investors and patients all stand to benefit from the merger.
| • | Clients – In addition to connecting our own solutions, our ‘open architecture’ approach will simplify our clients’ ability to connect with third-party applications. The merger will provide a complete and enhanced portfolio of clinical, financial, connectivity, and information solutions. And it will accelerate a rapid implementation approach that both companies share, enabling our clients to quickly attain “Meaningful Use.” We will continue our shared track record of innovation to deliver ‘future state’ clinical and financial informatics capabilities that will enable clients to provide higher quality care and operate more efficiently. |

The combination diversifies and strengthens the company’s product and client mix. It presents a $1.5 billion opportunity to sell products into each other’s client bases, and to compete for 35 percent of the healthcare IT market more effectively. Moreover, the transaction is expected to be accretive to Allscripts earnings beginning in calendar 2011. |
