Gregory Cull, Secretary, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., 2401 Commerce Drive, Libertyville, Illinois 60048. Explanatory Note Effective January 8, 2001, Allscripts, Inc. acquired Channelhealth Incorporated, and each became a wholly owned subsidiary of a new holding company, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. In this proxy statement, we will refer to Allscripts, Inc. as Old Allscripts and to Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. as Allscripts or New Allscripts. As a result of the merger transaction, each outstanding share of Old Allscripts common stock was converted into one share of New Allscripts common stock. Old Allscripts no longer files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and its common stock is no longer listed on the Nasdaq National Market; however, New Allscripts does file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and its common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MDRX". This proxy statement and form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders on or about March 30, 2001. Questions and Answers What am I voting on? We are soliciting your vote on the election of two directors to each serve for a three-year term. Who may vote? Allscripts stockholders at the close of business on March 16, 2001, the record date, are entitled to vote. On that date, there were 37,988,218 shares of Allscripts common stock outstanding. How many votes do I have? Each share of Allscripts common stock that you own entitles you to one vote. How do I vote? All stockholders may vote by mail. You also may be able to vote by telephone or over the Internet. To vote by mail, please sign, date and mail your proxy in the postage paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares through a bank or broker and they do not offer telephone or Internet voting, please complete and return your proxy by mail. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person and would like to vote then, we will give you a ballot. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you need to bring an account statement or letter from the nominee indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on March 16, 2001, the record date for voting. How does discretionary voting authority apply? If you sign, date and return your proxy card, your vote will be cast as you direct. If you do not indicate how you want to vote, you give authority to Glen E. Tullman and David B. Mullen to vote for the items discussed in these proxy materials and any other matter that is properly raised at the Annual Meeting. In such a case, your vote will be cast FOR the election of each director nominee and FOR or AGAINST any other properly raised matters at the discretion of Messrs. Tullman and Mullen. May I revoke my proxy? You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised in one of four ways: 1. Notify our Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy. 2. Submit another proxy with a later date. 3. Vote by telephone or Internet after you have given your proxy. 4. Vote in person at the Annual Meeting. What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card? Your shares are likely registered differently or are in more than one account. You should sign and return all proxy cards to guarantee that all of your shares are voted. What constitutes a quorum? The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the total number of shares of Allscripts common stock issued and outstanding constitutes a quorum. You will be considered part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card, if you vote by telephone or over the Internet, or if you attend the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as "shares present" at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy that does not indicate a vote for a proposal because he or she does not have voting authority and has not received voting instructions from you. What vote is required to approve the proposal? A majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting must approve the election of the directors. If you do not want to vote your shares for a particular nominee, you may indicate that in the space provided on the proxy card or withhold authority as prompted during telephone or Internet voting. Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the election of the directors since they result in fewer votes for approval, but broker non-votes will have no effect. How do I submit a stockholder proposal? You must submit a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders in writing no later than November 30, 2001. Your proposal must comply with the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should send your proposal to our Secretary at our address on the cover of this proxy statement. You also may submit a proposal that you do not want included in the proxy statement but that you want to raise at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders. We must receive your proposal in writing after December 1, 2001 but before December 31, 2001. If you submit your proposal after the deadline and we choose to consider it at the meeting, then Securities and Exchange Commission rules permit the individuals named in the proxies solicited by our board of directors for that meeting to exercise discretionary voting power as to that proposal. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, our by-laws require that your proposal give: (1) a brief description of the business you want to bring before the meeting; (2) your name and address as they appear on our stock records; (3) the class and number of shares of Allscripts that you beneficially own; and (4) any interest you may have in the business you want to bring before the meeting. You should send your proposal to our Secretary at the address on the cover of this proxy statement. 2 How do I nominate a director? If you wish to recommend a nominee for director for the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive your written nomination after December 1, 2001 but before December 31, 2001. You should submit your proposal to the Secretary at our address on the cover of this proxy statement. Our by- laws require that you provide: (1) your name and address and the name and address of the nominee; (2) a statement that you are a record holder of Allscripts common stock entitled to vote at the meeting and that you plan to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to make the nomination; (3) a description of all arrangements or understandings under which you are making the nominations; (4) any other information that the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require to be included in a proxy statement; and (5) the nominee's agreement to serve as a director if elected. Who pays to prepare, mail and solicit the proxies? We will pay all of the costs of preparing, mailing and soliciting these proxies. We will ask brokers, banks, voting trustees and other nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock and to obtain the authority to execute proxies. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses upon request. In addition to mailing proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or otherwise. These individuals will not be specially compensated. Election of Directors Eight directors currently serve on New Allscripts' board of directors. Other than Richard E. Tarrant, each of the directors served on Old Allscripts' board. All eight directors joined the board of New Allscripts upon the completion of the Channelhealth merger transaction in January 2001. The directors are divided into three classes.

In addition to meetings of the full board, directors attended meetings of the board committees. Old Allscripts had, and New Allscripts has, effective upon consummation of the Channelhealth merger transactions in January 2001, standing audit and compensation committees. In 2000, each Old Allscripts director, other than Edward M. Philip, attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and of the committees on which he served that were held during the period for which he was a director.

Ben Lytle, M. Fazle Husain (since April 2000) and Michael J. Kluger (since May 2000) served on Old Allscripts' audit committee in 2000, and the same individuals serve on the New Allscripts' audit committee. As the Old Allscripts audit committee had, the New Allscripts committee has adopted a charter, which specifies the composition and responsibilities of the committee. The charter is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. Additional information on the committee and its activities is set forth in the "Report of the Audit Committee". During 2000, the Old Allscripts committee met eight times. As the Old Allscripts compensation committee had, the compensation committee of New Allscripts determines executive officers' salaries, bonuses and other compensation and administers our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. M. Fazle Husain, Michael J. Kluger and L. Ben Lytle served on Old Allscripts' compensation committee, and the same individuals serve on New Allscripts' compensation committee. During 2000, the Old Allscripts committee met three times. Director Compensation Directors who are Allscripts employees receive no compensation for their services as directors. Our independent directors receive a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the board of directors that they attend. We also reimburse them for their travel expenses. Under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, these directors are eligible to receive stock option grants at the discretion of the board of directors or the compensation committee. Ownership of Allscripts Common Stock The following table shows how much Allscripts common stock was beneficially owned as of March 16, 2001 by: . our Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers based on compensation earned during 2000; . each director; 6 .all directors and executive officers as a group; and . each stockholder that we know to own beneficially more than 5% of Allscripts common stock based on information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 13D or 13G. Beneficial ownership is a technical term broadly defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. In general, beneficial ownership includes any shares that the holder can vote or transfer and stock options and warrants that are exercisable currently or become exercisable within 60 days. These shares are considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage of outstanding Allscripts common stock owned by a particular stockholder, but are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of ownership is based on 37,988,218 shares outstanding as of March 16, 2001. Except as otherwise noted, the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and dispositive power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership of their company's common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on a review of copies of these reports provided to us and written representations from executive officers and directors of Old Allscripts, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to these individuals were met during 2000, except that Lee Shapiro was delinquent in reporting an option grant on each of two Form 4s, John G. Cull was delinquent in reporting an option grant on a Form 4 and Philip D. Green was delinquent in reporting a warrant exercise on a Form 4. The executive officers and directors of New Allscripts were not subject to these filing requirements during 2000. 8 Executive Compensation This table summarizes the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the other four most highly compensated executive officers of Old Allscripts. New Allscripts did not pay any compensation during any of the years shown in the table. The amount shown in the "all other compensation" column represents our matching contributions under our 401(k) plan and payments for earned, but unused, vacation time.

The options were granted under the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and vest equally over four years on the anniversaries of the grant. The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at its time of grant, 10 years. The calculation assumes that the fair market value on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated rate compounded annually for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last 9 day of its term at the appreciated price. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is assumed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The actual price appreciation may be substantially greater than that assumed under these rules. We cannot assure you that the actual stock price will appreciate over the 10-year option term at the assumed levels or at any other defined level.

The value realized is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and the price of Old Allscripts common stock on the date of exercise multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option. The value of unexercised in-the-money options at year end 2000 is calculated using the difference between the option exercise price and $9.3438 (the last reported market price of Old Allscripts common stock the last trading day of the year) multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option. An option is in-the- money if the market value of the common stock subject to the option is greater than the exercise price.

Tullman and Mullen effective August 1, 1997 and with Mr. Carey effective August 2, 1999. Each agreement has an initial term that ended December 31, 2000 and renews for consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives 30 days' notice prior to the expiration of any term. Messrs. Tullman and Mullen were each paid an annual salary of $225,000 through March 30, 2000 and $285,000 thereafter. They are each entitled to an annual bonus as determined by the board of directors or the compensation committee. In 2000, Mr. Carey was paid salary at an annual rate of $190,000 through March 31, $215,000 from April 1 through May 31 and $235,000 thereafter, and he is entitled to an annual bonus, contingent upon the attainment of certain objectives, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the board of directors or the compensation committee. The agreements also provide that each of Messrs. Tullman, Mullen and Carey will not compete with us during the term of his employment and for one year thereafter. If we terminate any of Messrs. Tullman, Mullen or Carey without Cause or if any of them terminates his employment For Good Reason, as each of those terms is defined in the agreements, he will be entitled to 12 months' salary as severance, as well as any salary that was accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if any, for the calendar year preceding the termination date and any performance bonus for the calendar year in which the termination date occurs that would have been payable had there been no termination. The amount of these performance bonuses is to be determined in the manner in which it would have been determined had there been no termination. Old Allscripts entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Shapiro effective April 5, 2000. The agreement has an initial term that ends April 30, 2003 and renews for consecutive one-year terms unless either party gives 60 days' notice prior to the expiration of any term and provides for an annual base salary of $225,000 with annual reviews on each April 30. Mr. Shapiro is entitled to an annual bonus equal to the greater of $56,250 or 25% of his then in effect base salary. The agreement also provides that Mr. Shapiro will not compete with us during the term of his employment and for one year thereafter. If we terminate Mr. Shapiro without Cause or if he terminates his employment For Good Reason, as each of those terms is defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to salary for the greater of 12 months or the remainder of the then current employment period as severance, as well as any salary that was accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if any, for the calendar year preceding the termination date and any performance bonus for the calendar year in which the termination date occurs that would have been payable had there been no termination. The amount of these performance bonuses is to be determined in the manner in which it would have been determined had there been no termination. In addition, in the case of such a termination of Mr. Shapiro's employment, he will also be entitled to a continuation of his benefits for 12 months, accelerated vesting of all stock options held by him and outplacement services. Notwithstanding the above, if, during the one-year period immediately following a Change in Control, as defined in the agreement, we terminate Mr. Shapiro's employment for any reason other than Cause or he terminates his employment 11 for any reason, he will be entitled to a pro rata cash bonus for the year of termination and payment in a lump sum equal to 2.99 times each of his then in effect base salary and his then in effect target annual bonus. Termination of Employment and Change in Control Agreements Allscripts has entered into stock option agreements with Messrs. Tullman, Mullen, Carey, Leisher and Shapiro granting them options to purchase aggregate shares of common stock as follows: Mr. Tullman, 150,000 shares; Mr. Mullen, 150,000 shares; Mr. Carey, 216,666 shares; Mr. Leisher, 95,688 shares; and Mr. Shapiro, 270,500 shares. Under these option agreements, in the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the stock option agreements, vesting of the options will accelerate so that the unvested portion of the options will vest immediately. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The members of the compensation committee of the New Allscripts board of directors are Messrs. Husain, Kluger and Lytle, the same individuals who served on the Old Allscripts compensation committee. None of these persons has ever been an officer or employee of Old Allscripts, New Allscripts or any of their subsidiaries. We refer you to the information under "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" for a discussion of insider participation. Compensation Committee Report on Executive Officers' Compensation The compensation committee of New Allscripts' board of directors is composed of the same three independent non-employee directors that composed the Old Allscripts compensation committee, M. Fazle Husain, Michael J. Kluger and L. Ben Lytle. Mr. Lytle serves as chairman of the committee. The committee determines executive officers' salaries, bonuses and other compensation and administers our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. The New Allscripts committee's policies and approach to compensation are the same as those that had been adopted by the Old Allscripts committee. Compensation Policies Applicable to Executive Officers The overall compensation program for salaried employees has been designed and is administered to ensure that employee compensation promotes superior job performance and the achievement of business objectives. The main policy objective of executive officer compensation is the maximization of stockholder value over the long term. The compensation committee believes that this can best be accomplished by an executive compensation program that reflects the following three principles: First, base salaries should be sufficient to attract and retain qualified management talent, without exceeding competitive practice at similar companies in the information technology market. 12 Second, annual bonus and incentive programs should provide opportunity for significant increases in compensation, based on meeting or exceeding pre-determined company and individual performance targets. Third, a substantial portion of total long-term compensation should reflect performance on behalf of the company's stockholders, as measured by increases in the value of the company's stock. In the judgment of the compensation committee, the performance of Allscripts in 2000 confirms that the compensation program is achieving its main objectives. Base Salary All of the executive officers but T. Scott Leisher, John G. Cull and Stanley Crane have employment agreements that set their base compensation. The Chief Executive Officer and the President set the compensation for Messrs. Leisher, Cull and Crane. The committee increased the annual base salaries of Messrs. Tullman and Mullen to $285,000, effective April 1, 2000, and of Mr. Carey to $235,000, effective June 1, 2000. Annual Bonus Executive officers and certain other key personnel are eligible for cash bonuses after the end of each fiscal year. The bonus program has not been formalized in writing. The board of directors or the compensation committee determines bonuses for Mr. Tullman, the CEO, and Mr. Mullen, the President and Chief Financial Officer. Bonuses are based on the overall performance and financial results of the company, including the company's achievement of goals pertaining to revenue growth, cost reductions, improved operating methods, acquisitions and accounting controls. These factors are weighted and then the company's fulfillment of these goals is evaluated. Bonuses for other executive officers are recommended by the CEO and then submitted to the committee for its approval. In making recommendations, the CEO determines how each executive officer contributed to Allscripts' achievement of its goals. Stock Incentives Under the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to executive officers. Executives generally receive stock incentives through initial grants at the time of hire and periodic additional grants. The compensation committee determines the number of stock incentives to be granted based on an officer's job responsibilities and individual performance evaluation. This approach is designed to encourage the creation of long-term stockholder value as the committee believes that the significant equity interests in the company held by management helps to align the interests of stockholders and management and maximize stockholder returns over the long term. Each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table received new grants of stock incentives during 2000 as set forth therein. 13 Compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The overall compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer is designed to recognize that the Chief Executive Officer bears primary responsibility for increasing the value of stockholders' investments. The Chief Executive Officer's base compensation is set at $225,000 by his employment agreement, which has been renewed until December 31, 2001. As noted above, Mr. Tullman's annual base salary was increased to $285,000, effective April 1, 2000, and he received a cash bonus of $100,000 for 2000, reflecting Allscripts' achievement of some of its performance goals. The compensation committee is directly responsible for determining all awards and grants to the Chief Executive Officer under the incentive components of the compensation program. The committee intends that a substantial portion of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation be incentive-based, providing greater compensation as direct and indirect financial measures of stockholder value increase. The Chief Executive Officer's compensation will thus be structured and administered to motivate and reward the successful achievement of these objectives. In 2000, Mr. Tullman received options for a total of 150,000 shares. The committee intends for the Chief Executive Officer's compensation to relate directly to the overall performance of the company as measured by financial criteria. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer's compensation reflects achievements such as the continued strong performance of the senior management team and the successful negotiation of acquisitions and strategic alliances. Deductibility of Compensation Under, Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), a company generally may not deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the CEO and the other four most highly compensated officers. Certain "performance based compensation" is not included in compensation for purposes of the limit. The committee believes that the current structure of New Allscripts' executive compensation does not give rise to Section 162(m) concerns. The compensation committee will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices. Compensation Committee L. Ben Lytle, Chairman M. Fazle Husain Michael J. Kluger 14 Company Performance This graph shows a comparison of cumulative total returns for Old Allscripts, the Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. and the Nasdaq Health Services Index from July 23, 1999 (the date Old Allscripts common stock was first offered to the public at an initial public offering price of $16.00 per share) through the end of 2000. New Allscripts common stock was not publicly traded during 2000. The graph assumes an initial investment of $100 and the reinvestment of dividends. Cumulative Total Return 7/23/99 9/30/99 12/31/99 3/31/00 6/30/00 9/30/00 12/31/00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allscripts, Inc. $100.00 $ 99.22 $275.00 $375.78 $143.75 $ 88.28 $ 58.40 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nasdaq Stock Market-U.S. 100.00 102.23 151.10 169.60 147.46 135.70 90.93 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nasdaq Health Services 100.00 83.91 82.61 85.87 87.63 97.28 113.26 15 Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions Our policy is that all transactions between us and our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders must be on terms no less favorable to us than we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties or else must be approved by our disinterested directors. Registration Rights Agreement Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., Morgan Stanley Venture Investors III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Venture Partners III, L.P. and The Morgan Stanley Venture Partners Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., which as of March 16, 2001 collectively held approximately 8,502,233 shares of common stock, are entitled to registration rights with respect to these shares. Under a registration rights agreement, these Morgan Stanley entities, collectively, on the one hand, and Liberty Partners Holdings 6, L.L.C., on the other hand, are each entitled to require us to register their shares of common stock three times, but not more than once in any six-month period. As of the date hereof, the Morgan Stanley entities, collectively, on the one hand, and Liberty Partners, on the other hand, had each exercised their right to require Allscripts to register their shares of common stock one time. In addition, if we propose or are required to register any of our common stock, either for our own account or for the account of other of our stockholders, we are required to notify the holders described above and, subject to certain limitations, to include in that registration all of the common stock requested to be included by those holders. We are obligated to bear the expenses, other than underwriting commissions, of all incidental registrations. Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement In connection with the Channelhealth merger transaction, Allscripts entered into a stock rights and restrictions agreement with IDX Systems Corporation, which is a significant stockholder of Allscripts, and of which Richard E. Tarrant, our Vice Chairman, is Chief Executive Officer. Allscripts Board of Directors Until the earlier of (1) termination of the stock rights and restrictions agreement or (2) the date that IDX and its affiliates beneficially own fewer than 25% of the Allscripts common shares issued to IDX upon completion of the Channelhealth merger, IDX is entitled to designate an individual to the Allscripts board of directors. The initial IDX designee to the Allscripts board was Mr. Tarrant. In addition, so long as (1) the IDX designee is Mr. Tarrant and (2) IDX and its affiliates beneficially own greater than 75% of the Allscripts common shares issued to IDX upon completion of the Channelhealth merger, Mr. Tarrant will be the sole non-executive Vice Chairman of the Allscripts board. Limitation on Business Combination Transactions During the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement, each of IDX and Allscripts has agreed not to engage in or propose any transaction referred to in the agreement as a "business combination", which means a merger, consolidation, "business 16 combination" as defined in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as currently in effect, compulsory share exchange or other transaction involving the other and pursuant to which the other party's voting securities are exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or liquidation of the other party, including by means of a tender or exchange offer, or request or solicit any other person to engage in or propose a business combination, unless the transaction is approved by a majority of the other party's continuing directors, as defined in the agreement, or the party engaging in or proposing the transaction beneficially owns less than 5% of the other party's voting securities and has no representative on the other party's board of directors. Limitation on Acquisition and Disposition of Voting Securities Without the consent of a majority of the other party's continuing directors, neither party may acquire any additional voting securities of the other, except under certain limited circumstances. In addition, the stock rights and restrictions agreement imposes certain limitations on IDX's ability to transfer beneficial ownership of its Allscripts voting securities. The stock rights and restrictions agreement also provides that if during the period from the third anniversary through the fourth anniversary of the agreement, Allscripts proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to a primary firm commitment underwritten public offering of Allscripts common stock, IDX will have the right to "piggyback" on the offering by notifying Allscripts that IDX wants to include some or all of its Allscripts shares in the registration, subject to customary "cutback" provisions. Allscripts will pay all of the expenses of the piggyback registration, except underwriting discounts and commissions on shares sold by IDX, fees of IDX's counsel and any transfer taxes applicable to the sale of the IDX shares. In addition, Mr. Tarrant signed the stock rights and restrictions agreement in his individual capacity for the purpose of agreeing that for the six-month period following completion of the merger, he will not transfer any of the Allscripts common shares he received in the Channelhealth merger unless prior to the expiration of that period Glen E. Tullman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, transfers for his own account any Allscripts common shares. Voting of Allscripts Shares Held by IDX Generally the stock rights and restrictions agreement permits IDX to vote in its complete discretion on all matters voted on by Allscripts stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDX must vote, except in certain limited circumstances, all of its Allscripts shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Allscripts continuing directors on any matter that: . constitutes a business combination; . involves the acquisition by any person other than IDX or its affiliates of beneficial ownership of greater than 50% of the then outstanding Allscripts voting securities; . involves the issuance by Allscripts of its own securities for cash; or 17 . involves any acquisition by Allscripts, whether through merger, share exchange, purchase of assets or otherwise. IDX is not required to vote its Allscripts shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Allscripts continuing directors if the average closing price of Allscripts stock during the 90 trading days preceding the vote is less than $14.5625. IDX's Right to Participate in Securities Issuances by Allscripts If at any time during the term of the stock rights and restrictions agreement Allscripts plans to issue Allscripts voting securities, or securities exercisable, exchangeable for or convertible into Allscripts voting securities and, as a result, IDX's beneficial ownership of all outstanding Allscripts voting securities would be reduced to below 2% after giving effect to the proposed transaction, then Allscripts must offer to sell to IDX a number or amount of the securities proposed to be issued that, if purchased by IDX, would permit IDX and its affiliates to beneficially own a number of Allscripts voting securities determined by dividing the aggregate number of outstanding Allscripts common shares then beneficially owned by IDX by the total number of Allscripts common shares then outstanding. Termination The stock rights and restrictions agreement will terminate by its terms on its tenth anniversary, but it may be terminated earlier as follows: . by mutual written consent of IDX and Allscripts; or . by IDX if Allscripts files for bankruptcy, or another person commences a bankruptcy proceeding against Allscripts and the proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within 60 days, or if an order for relief under a bankruptcy law is entered against Allscripts. Strategic Alliance Agreement Upon completion of the Channelhealth merger transaction, Allscripts and IDX entered into a strategic alliance agreement. Marketing of Channelhealth Products The strategic alliance agreement provides for a ten-year strategic alliance under which Allscripts and IDX will cooperate to develop and market Channelhealth products pursuant to a development plan to be updated at least quarterly during the term of the alliance. Each of Allscripts and IDX are required to develop connectivity between their respective products to facilitate data exchange and ease of use. The parties will be required to compensate and incent their sales forces to sell Allscripts' products to IDX customers and prospects. Marketing Restrictions During the term of the alliance, each party, subject to certain exceptions, is prohibited from developing, or cooperating with direct competitors of the other party to develop or 18 provide competitive products other than those currently marketed by such party. Either party may terminate the marketing restrictions to which it is subject upon the occurrence of a material adverse change in the business, properties, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other party (other than changes that are the result of economic factors affecting the economy as a whole or changes that are the result of factors generally affecting the specific industry or markets in which the party competes). Compensation Allscripts and IDX are entitled to agreed upon revenue sharing for sales of each other's products. Under the strategic alliance agreement, IDX guarantees gross revenues to Allscripts of $4.5 million in 2001. Change of Control If during the term of the alliance, a change of control occurs with respect to either party with a direct competitor of the other party, the party undergoing the change of control will be subject to certain revenue sharing obligations with the other party. Termination of Alliance Either party may terminate the alliance in the event it becomes insolvent or if the other party has defaulted under or breached any material term of the strategic alliance agreement and has not cured the default or breach within 120 days after it occurs. Amended and Restated Cross License and Software Maintenance Agreement In connection with the Channelhealth merger transaction, Channelhealth and IDX entered into an amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement. Cross License The amended and restated cross license and software maintenance agreement provides for, in the case of IDX, the granting of a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-cancelable and non-terminable, fully paid-up license to Channelhealth permitting Channelhealth to copy, use, display, perform, adopt, modify and maintain certain IDX software applications and related intellectual property rights, and create derivative works with regard to the software, for the purpose of merging IDX software with Allscripts' products and to market and sublicense IDX software in connection with the marketing of those products and, in the case of Channelhealth, the granting of a perpetual, non-exclusive, non- cancelable and non-terminable, fully paid-up license to IDX permitting IDX to copy, use, display, perform, market, sublicense, transmit, create and own derivative works and to distribute certain Channelhealth software applications and related intellectual property rights in connection with IDX's "Patient Channel" business. 19 Termination In the event that the strategic alliance agreement between Allscripts and IDX is terminated or not renewed, the license granted by IDX to Channelhealth will terminate with respect to certain IDX technologies developed by IDX and incorporated by IDX into IDX software, except as used by Channelhealth to create or maintain compatibility or connectivity between Allscripts products and IDX products. Certain Business Relationships In 2000, Old Allscripts retained the law firm of Green, Stewart, Farber & Anderson, P.C., of which Philip D. Green, one of our directors, was a partner. Old Allscripts paid Mr. Green's law firm fees of $55,155 in 2000. 20 Audit Committee Report The audit committee is comprised of three directors who are not officers of Allscripts. Each of the members is independent, as defined in the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board, a copy of which is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement. The audit committee of Old Allscripts held eight meetings during 2000. The meetings were designed to facilitate and encourage private communications between the committee and Allscripts' independent public accountants. Allscripts' independent public accountants were PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PWC) until December 21, 2000 when, upon the recommendation of the committee, the Board dismissed PWC and appointed KPMG LLP (KPMG) as Allscripts' independent public accountants. Therefore, all meetings before December 21, 2000 were held with PWC and all meetings after that date were held with KPMG. During these meetings, the committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and Allscripts' independent public accountants. In connection with PWC's review of Allscripts' financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, PWC advised the committee of the existence of a material weakness relating to the controls surrounding contract administration. To immediately address this concern, Allscripts, among other things, hired a contract attorney, who serves as a full-time Contract Administrator with the responsibility for the retention, review, analysis, monitoring and maintenance of individual customer contracts. The audit committee believes that the concerns expressed by PWC have been adequately addressed through these actions and that management maintains an effective system of internal controls that results in fairly presented financial statements. Based on discussions with management and KPMG, Allscripts' current independent public accountants, the committee recommended to the board that the audited financial statements be included in Allscripts' Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussions with Allscripts' independent accountants also included the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees). The committee received from the independent accountants written disclosures and the letter regarding its independence required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm's independence. The committee has recommended the retention of KPMG as independent accountants for fiscal year 2001. Audit Committee L. Ben Lytle, Chairman M. Fazle Husain Michael J. Kluger 21 Independent Public Accountants On December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PWC) as Old Allscripts' independent accountant. At the recommendation of its audit committee, the board of directors of Old Allscripts authorized the dismissal of PWC. The reports of PWC on Old Allscripts' consolidated financial statements as of and for the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During Old Allscripts' two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the interim period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report of the financial statements for those years. During Old Allscripts' two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and in the interim period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except that in connection with PWC's review of Old Allscripts' financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, PWC advised Old Allscripts of the existence of a material weakness relating to the controls surrounding contract administration. To immediately address this concern, Old Allscripts, among other things, hired a contract attorney, who serves as a full-time Contract Administrator with the responsibility for the retention, review, analysis, monitoring and maintenance of individual customer contracts. Management and the audit committee believe that the concerns expressed by PWC have been adequately addressed through the actions taken by Old Allscripts. Old Allscripts provided PWC with a copy of the disclosures made in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 21, 2000 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2000 (the "Form 8-K") and requested that PWC furnish Old Allscripts with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PWC agrees with the statements made by Old Allscripts in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which PWC does not agree. A copy of that letter is filed as Exhibit A to the Current Report on Form 8-K. At the recommendation of the audit committee, the board authorized the engagement of KPMG LLP as Old Allscripts' new independent accountants to audit and report on the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 and to act, on a continuing basis, as Old Allscripts' independent accountant. On December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts requested that KPMG be engaged as its independent accountants, and KPMG accepted the engagement on December 28, 2000. KPMG has continued to serve as New Allscripts' independent auditors. 22 During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and in the interim period from January 1, 2000 through December 21, 2000, Old Allscripts did not consult with KPMG regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the types of audit opinion that might be rendered on Old Allscripts' financial statements. In addition, Old Allscripts did not consult with KPMG regarding any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event within the meaning of Item 304 of Regulation S-K. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions. Audit Fees KPMG billed Allscripts approximately $120,000 for professional services in connection with the audit of the annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. KPMG did not bill Allscripts for any other services during 2000. Executive Officers Following is certain information about the executive officers of Allscripts, based on information furnished by them. Glen E.
