Our
Company
We are a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle
management solutions, connecting payers, providers and patients
in the U.S. healthcare system. Our product and service
offerings integrate and automate key business and administrative
functions of our payer and provider customers throughout the
patient encounter, including pre-care patient eligibility and
benefits verification, claims management and adjudication,
payment distribution, payment posting and denial management and
patient billing and payment collection. Through the use of our
comprehensive suite of products and services, our customers are
able to improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase cash flow and
more efficiently manage the complex revenue and payment cycle
process. In 2007, we generated revenues from operations of
$808.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $182.8 million, net
income of $16.0 million and cash flow provided by
operations of $95.1 million.
Our services are delivered primarily through recurring,
transaction-based processes that leverage our revenue and
payment cycle network, the single largest financial and
administrative information exchange in the U.S. healthcare
system. In 2007, we processed a total of 3.7 billion
healthcare-related transactions, including approximately one out
of every two commercial healthcare claims delivered
electronically in the United States. We have developed our
network of payers and providers over 25 years and connect
virtually all private and government payers, claim-submitting
providers and pharmacies, making it extremely difficult,
expensive and time-consuming for competitors to replicate our
market position. Compared to many of our competitors, who lack
the breadth and scale of our network and who often must rely on
our connectivity to provide some or all of their own services,
we are uniquely positioned to facilitate seamless and timely
interaction among payers and providers. Further, with the cost
pressures and capital allocation decisions our customers face
today, many payers and providers are reluctant to invest the
time or money into supporting additional vendor connectivity
and, as a result, have chosen to consolidate their business
activities with us. Our network and related products and
services are designed to easily integrate with our
customers’ existing technology infrastructures and
administrative workflow and typically require minimal capital
expenditure on the part of the customer, while generating
significant savings and operating efficiencies.
We generate greater than 90% of our revenues from products and
services where we believe we have a leading market position. Our
solutions are critical to the day-to-day operations of our payer
and provider customers as our solutions drive consistent
automated workflows and information exchanges that support key
financial and administrative processes. Our market leadership is
demonstrated by the long tenure of our payer and provider
relationships, which for our 50 largest customers in 2007
average 11 years. We are the exclusive provider of certain
electronic eligibility and benefits verification
and/or
claims management services under Managed Gateway Agreements
(“MGAs”) for more than 300 payer customers
(approximately 25% of all U.S. payers). Similarly, we are
the sole provider of certain payment and remittance advice
distribution services for over 600 of our payer customers
(approximately 50% of all U.S. payers). These exclusive
relationships provide us with a significant opportunity to
expand the scope of our product and service offerings with these
customers.
Our ubiquitous, independent platform facilitates alignment with
both our payer and provider customers, thereby creating a
significant opportunity for us to increase penetration of our
existing solutions and drive the
1
adoption of new solutions. Recently, we have significantly
increased the number of products and services utilized by our
existing customers through cross-selling. In addition to
increasing penetration of our existing solutions, we have
created a culture of innovation to develop and market new
solutions that will allow us to deepen our customer
relationships. Because we serve as a central point of
communication and data aggregation for our customers, our
network captures the most comprehensive and timely sources of
U.S. healthcare information. Unlike many other data
sources, our network provides us with access to data generated
at, or close to, the point of care. Our access to vast amounts
of healthcare data positions us to develop business intelligence
solutions that provide our customers with valuable information,
reporting capabilities and related data analytics to support our
customers’ core business decision making. For example,
because we often process all of an individual payer’s
claims and capture data from that payer’s entire spectrum
of providers, we are capable of developing customized solutions
for our payer customers that can enable more timely and relevant
information management tools relating to their inpatient,
outpatient, dental and pharmacy data.
Our business continues to benefit from several healthcare
industry trends that increase the overall number of healthcare
transactions and the complexity of the reimbursement process. We
believe that payers and providers will increasingly seek
solutions that utilize technology and outsourced process
expertise to automate and simplify the administrative and
clinical processes of healthcare to enhance their profitability,
while minimizing errors and reducing costs. Our mission-critical
products and services enable the healthcare system to operate
more efficiently and help to mitigate the continuing trend of
cost escalation across the industry. We stand to benefit from
the major secular trends affecting the broader healthcare sector
as a result of our position at the nexus of all key healthcare
constituent groups.
Our
Industry
Payer &
Provider Landscape
Healthcare expenditures are a large and growing component of the
U.S. economy, representing $2.1 trillion in 2006, or 16% of
GDP, and are expected to grow at 6.7% per year to $4.3 trillion,
or 20% of GDP, in 2017. The cost of healthcare administration in
the U.S. is estimated to be $360 billion in 2008, or
17% of total healthcare expenditures, $150 billion of which
is spent by payers and providers on billing and insurance
administration-related activities alone.
Healthcare is generally provided through a fragmented industry
of providers that have, in many cases, historically
under-invested in administrative and clinical solutions. The
administrative portion of healthcare costs for providers is
expected to continue to expand due in part to the increasing
complexity in the reimbursement process and the greater
administrative burden being placed on providers for reporting
and documentation relating to the care they provide. These
factors are compounded by the fact that many providers lack the
technological infrastructure and human resources to bill,
collect and obtain full reimbursement for their services, and
instead rely on inefficient, labor-intensive processes to
perform these functions. As a result, we believe payers and
providers will continue to seek solutions that automate and
simplify the administrative and clinical processes of
healthcare. We benefit from this trend given our expansive suite
of administrative product and service offerings.
Payment for healthcare services generally occurs through complex
and frequently changing reimbursement mechanisms involving
multiple parties. The proliferation of private-payer benefit
plan designs and government mandates continue to increase the
complexity of the reimbursement process. In addition, despite
significant consolidation among private payers in recent years,
claims systems have often not been sufficiently integrated,
resulting in persistently high costs associated with
administering these plans. Government payers also continue to
introduce more complex rules to align payments with the
appropriate care provided. Further, due to an increasing number
of drug prescriptions authorized by providers and an
industry-wide shortage of pharmacists, pharmacies and pharmacy
benefit managers must increasingly be able to efficiently
process transactions in order to maximize their productivity and
better control prescription drug costs. Most payers, providers
and many independent pharmacies are not equipped to handle this
increased complexity and the associated administrative
challenges themselves.
Increases in patient financial responsibility for healthcare
expenses caused by, among other things, the shift towards
high-deductible health plans (“HDHP”) and
consumer-oriented plans, have put additional pressure on
2
providers to collect payments at the patient point of care since
approximately 60% of healthcare expenses not collected from
individuals at the time of care are estimated to become bad debt
for a typical provider. Our solutions equip providers to
significantly improve collection at the point of care.
The
Revenue and Payment Cycle
The healthcare revenue and payment cycle consists of all the
processes and efforts that providers undertake to ensure they
are compensated properly by payers for the medical services
rendered to patients. These processes begin with the collection
of relevant eligibility and demographic information about the
patient before care is provided and end with the collection of
payment from payers and patients. Providers are required to send
invoices, or claims, to a large number of different payers,
including government agencies, managed care companies and
private individuals in order to be reimbursed for the care they
provide.
Payers and providers spend approximately $150 billion
annually on these revenue and payment cycle activities. Major
steps in this process include:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Pre-Care/Medical Treatment: The provider
verifies insurance benefits available to the patient, ensures
treatment will adhere to medical necessity guidelines, confirms
patient personal financial and demographic information and
obtains any required pre-authorization prior to delivery of care.
|
|
|
•
|
Claim Management/Adjudication: The provider
prepares and submits paper or electronic claims to a payer for
services rendered directly or through a clearinghouse, such as
ours. Before submission, claims are validated for payer-specific
rules and corrected as necessary.
|
|
|
•
|
Payment Distribution: The payer sends payment
and a payment explanation (i.e., remittance advice) to the
provider and sends an explanation of benefits (“EOB”)
to the patient.
|
|
|
•
|
Payment Posting/Denial Management: The
provider posts payments internally, reconciles payments with
accounts receivable and submits any claims to secondary insurers
if secondary coverage exists.
|
|
|
•
|
Patient Billing and Payment: The provider
sends a bill to the patient for any remaining balance and posts
payments received.
|
Our
Market Opportunity and Solutions
Limited financial resources have historically resulted in
under-investment by providers in their internal administrative
and clinical information systems. Providers’ administrative
and financial processes have historically been manual and
paper-based. These manual and paper-based processes are more
prone to human error and administrative inefficiencies, often
resulting in increased costs and uncompensated care. At the same
time, payers are continually exploring new ways to increase
administrative efficiencies in order to drive greater
profitability due in part to their general inability to increase
premiums in excess of the growth in medical costs.
3
Opportunities exist to increase efficiencies and cash flow
throughout many steps of the revenue and payment cycle for both
payers and providers. The breadth of our revenue and payment
cycle network and solutions is illustrated in the chart below:
Our
Strengths
We believe that we have a number of strengths including, but not
limited to, the following:
Largest Healthcare Revenue and Payment Cycle
Network. Our revenue and payment cycle network
reaches the largest number of payers, providers and pharmacies
in the U.S. healthcare system, including approximately
1,200 payers, 500,000 providers, 5,000 hospitals, 77,000
dentists and 55,000 pharmacies. The breadth and scale of our
network enables us to drive consistent workflow and information
exchange for all healthcare constituents using our network. The
benefits of utilizing a single vendor to standardize work flows
and information exchanges among our payer, provider and pharmacy
customers increase the value of our product and service
offerings and make the adoption of our electronic solutions more
attractive to our customers. Our network ubiquity makes it
difficult, expensive and time-consuming for our competitors to
replicate our market position.
Comprehensive Suite of Market-Leading
Solutions. We provide a comprehensive suite of
revenue and payment cycle solutions that address key aspects of
the patient encounter, including pre-care patient eligibility
and benefits verification, claims management and submission,
payment and remittance advice distribution, payment posting and
denial management and patient billing and payment collection. We
generate greater than 90% of our revenues from products and
solutions where we believe we have a leading market position.
The combination of these products and services has resulted in a
comprehensive solution that many of our competitors are unable
to replicate because their offerings typically address only
certain constituents and
4
certain segments of the revenue and payment cycle and do not
have comparable breadth and scale of connectivity among all key
healthcare constituent groups.
Leverageable Platform for Future Growth. As
the single greatest point of connectivity in the
U.S. healthcare system, we are uniquely positioned to
leverage our platform to drive the adoption of new products and
services. Our long-standing customer relationships provide us
with important insights across our customers’ broad range
of revenue and payment cycle needs and allow us to offer
additional value-added products and services to our customers.
Established and Long-Standing Customer
Relationships. Our products and services are
important to our customers, as demonstrated by the fact that our
50 largest customers in 2007 have been with us for an average of
11 years as of August 2008. As many of our customers have
continued to rationalize their vendor relationships and simplify
their internal operations, we have been able to meet their
diverse business needs with our comprehensive suite of
solutions. This trend has enabled us to become the exclusive
provider of certain eligibility and benefits verification
and/or
claims management services for over 300 payers (approximately
25% of all U.S. payers) and also to serve as the sole
method of distributing certain payments and remittance advice to
providers for over 600 payers (approximately 50% of all
U.S. payers).
Stable, Low-Risk Business Model. We believe
our business model is attractive and relatively low-risk due to
following factors:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Limited exposure to the broader economic cycle given that the
majority of our revenues are driven by healthcare transaction
volumes.
|
|
|
•
|
Favorable healthcare industry trends, including demographic
changes, continuing healthcare cost escalation and increasing
administrative complexity.
|
|
|
•
|
Stable, recurring revenue base with significant visibility. In
2007, approximately
90-95% of
our revenue was recurring in nature.
|
|
|
•
|
Limited customer concentration. In 2007, no single customer
represented more than 6% of our total revenue.
|
|
|
•
|
Limited risk associated with changes in the political and the
legislative environment.
|
Strong, Predictable Cash Flow with Low Capital
Requirements. Our business generates strong,
stable cash flows as a result of the revenue we generate from
our recurring, transactions-based business model, our
significant operating leverage, our relatively low working
capital requirements and the moderate capital expenditures
needed to support our network.
Experienced Management Team. We have assembled
a highly experienced management team. Our senior management team
averages more than seven years of service with us or with
companies that we have acquired and 13 years of healthcare
industry experience. Our management team and board of directors
include a balance of internally developed leaders and
experienced managers from the industry and from our customers
(including large payer customers), which provides us with a deep
understanding of the complex needs of our customer base. In
addition, our management team has significant experience in
successfully identifying, executing and integrating
acquisitions, as well as driving organic growth.
Our
Strategy
We are pursuing the following growth strategies:
Continue to Drive Healthcare’s Transition from
Paper-Based to Electronic Transactions. We are
well positioned to further drive the healthcare industry’s
adoption of automated, cost-saving processes through our
comprehensive network of payers and providers. Currently, less
than 10% of commercial healthcare payer payment processes are
electronic, leaving significant room for us to help our
customers achieve deeper electronic penetration. We believe we
benefit from the credibility and reputation we have earned for
leading the healthcare industry’s migration from paper to
electronic claims submissions, which represented 75% of all
claims submitted in 2006 but represented only 2% of claims in
1990. Further, unlike many of our competitors
5
that lack an electronic network to facilitate conversion to
electronic solutions, our incentives are properly aligned with
those of our customers and are not compromised by a motivation
to protect legacy, paper-based solutions.
Increase Customer Penetration by Executing on Significant
Cross-Selling Opportunity. We believe we have
significant opportunities to sell additional value-added
products and services to our existing payer and provider
customers. Our broad network of payers and providers, combined
with our strong customer relationships, represents a significant
cross-selling opportunity for us.
Develop New High-Value Solutions for our Customers’
Revenue and Payment Cycle Needs. We have fostered
a culture of innovation and continually seek to develop and
market new solutions for our customers. We are uniquely
positioned to develop solutions that utilize our network and our
access to all key healthcare constituent groups to complement
our current product and service offerings.
Continue to Capitalize on Efficiencies of Scale and
Rationalize Costs to Improve Profitability. We
expect to generate growth in profitability in excess of our
revenue growth by increasing the number of transactions we
facilitate among payers, providers and patients. We have
significant operating leverage as we spread our fixed costs over
a steadily increasing volume of transactions. In addition, our
management team evaluates and implements initiatives on an
ongoing basis to improve our financial and operating performance
through cost savings and productivity improvements.
Leverage Our Expansive Data to Create Business Intelligence
and Analytics Solutions. We have extensive access
to data associated with financial and administrative
interactions across a range of different payers and providers
that we plan to leverage in order to develop information-based
business intelligence solutions and data analytics products and
services.
Pursue Selective Acquisitions. In addition to
our internal development efforts, we regularly evaluate
opportunities to improve and expand our solutions and
profitability through strategic acquisitions. Our expansive
customer footprint affords us the important advantage of being
able to deploy acquired products and services into our installed
base, which, in turn, can help to accelerate growth of our
acquired business.
Corporate
History and Organizational Structure
Our predecessors have been in the healthcare information
solutions business for approximately 25 years. Prior to
November 2006, our business was owned by HLTH Corporation
(“HLTH”). We currently conduct our business through
EBS Master and its subsidiaries. EBS Master was formed by HLTH
to act as a holding company for the group of subsidiaries of
HLTH that comprised its Emdeon Business Services segment. In
September 2006, we were formed by General Atlantic, LLC, or
“General Atlantic,” as a Delaware limited liability
company for the purpose of making an investment in EBS Master.
In November 2006, we purchased a 52% interest in EBS Master
from HLTH (the “2006 Transaction”). In February 2008,
HLTH sold its remaining 48% interest in EBS Master (the
“2008 Transaction”) to affiliates of General Atlantic
and Hellman & Friedman LLC, or “H&F.”
As a result, prior to giving effect to the reorganization
transactions described below in “Organizational
Structure,” EBS Master was owned 65.77% by affiliates of
General Atlantic, who we refer to as the “General Atlantic
Equityholders,” and 34.23% by affiliates of H&F, who
we refer to as the “H&F Equityholders.” We refer
to the General Atlantic Equityholders and the H&F
Equityholders collectively as our “Principal
Equityholders.”
We were converted into a Delaware corporation in September 2008
and changed our name to Emdeon Inc. We have not engaged in any
business or other activities except in connection with our
investment in EBS Master and the reorganization transactions
described under “Organizational Structure” and have no
material assets other than our membership interests in EBS
Master.
In the reorganization transactions, we will, through a series of
transactions, acquire, directly or indirectly, interests
(“EBS Units”) in EBS Master currently held by certain
affiliates of General Atlantic and H&F (or their
successors) in exchange for shares of our Class B common
stock. Certain other affiliates of H&F (or their
successors) will continue to hold their interests in EBS Master
(the “H&F Continuing LLC Members”) and certain
members of our senior management team will have their indirect
interests in EBS Master converted into EBS Units (the “EBS
Equity Plan Members” and, together with the H&F
Continuing LLC Members, the “EBS Post-IPO
6
Members”). In addition, the board of directors of EBS
Master will cause the accumulated appreciation in EBS Master of
the outstanding phantom awards granted to our employees (the
“EBS Phantom Plan Participants”) to be converted into
either shares of our Class A common stock or restricted
stock units.
Following the reorganization transactions, this offering and the
application of net proceeds from this offering, we will hold
directly or indirectly % of the EBS
Units and will be the sole managing member of EBS Master. As the
sole managing member of EBS Master, we will control all of the
business and affairs of EBS Master and its subsidiaries. We will
consolidate the financial results of EBS Master and our net
income (loss) will be reduced by a minority interest expense to
reflect the entitlement of the members of EBS Master to a

Structure” for further details.
Upon consummation of the reorganization transactions, there will
be several types of economic
and/or
voting interests in Emdeon Inc. and EBS Master:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Class A Common Stock. We will issue
Class A common stock in this offering. Each share of
Class A common stock will generally be entitled to one vote
on matters submitted to our stockholders.
|
|
|
•
|
Class B Common Stock. Certain of our
Principal Equityholders will be the only holders of our
Class B common stock. Each share of Class B common stock
will generally be entitled to 10 votes on matters submitted to
our stockholders.
|
|
|
•
|
Class C Common Stock. Upon completion of
the reorganization transactions, we will issue the H&F
Continuing LLC Members a number of shares of our Class C
common stock equal to the number of EBS Units they hold. Each
share of Class C common stock will generally be entitled to
10 votes on matters submitted to our stockholders but will not
have any of the economic rights (including rights to dividends
and distributions upon liquidation) associated with our
Class A common stock or Class B common stock.
|
|
|
•
|
Class D Common Stock. Upon completion of
the reorganization transactions, we will issue the EBS Equity
Plan Members a number of shares of our Class D common stock
equal to the number of EBS Units they will hold. Each share of
Class D common stock will generally be entitled to one vote
on matters submitted to our stockholders but will not have any
of the economic rights (including rights to dividends and
distributions upon liquidation) associated with our Class A
common stock or Class B common stock.
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Units. Upon completion of this offering
and the application of the net proceeds from this offering, the
H&F Continuing LLC Members will
hold
EBS Units and the EBS Equity Plan Members will
hold EBS
Units (based on the midpoint of the estimated public offering
price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus). EBS
Units held by the H&F Continuing LLC Members (along with a
corresponding number of shares of our Class C common stock)
may be exchanged with EBS Master for shares of our Class B
common stock on an one-for-one basis and EBS Units held by the
EBS Equity Plan Members (along with a corresponding number of
shares of our Class D common stock) may be exchanged with
EBS Master for shares of our Class A common stock on a
one-for-one basis.
|
|
|
•
|
Subject to limited exceptions, in connection with any transfer
or sale by our Principal Equityholders of shares of Class B
common stock, the shares transferred or sold will, immediately
prior to transfer, automatically convert into shares of our
Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition,
subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined
below), holders of our Class B common stock may convert
their shares into shares of Class A common stock at any
time. Each share of our Class C common stock will
automatically convert into one share of our Class D common
stock upon the conversion of all shares of our Class B
common stock into Class A common stock. In this prospectus,
we refer to the date on which all shares of our Class B
common stock and Class C common stock are converted into
Class A common stock and Class D common stock,
respectively, as the “conversion date.” After the
conversion date, EBS Units held by the H&F Continuing LLC
Members (along with a corresponding number of shares of
Class D common stock) may be exchanged for shares of our
Class A common stock. See “Organizational
Structure — Effect of the Reorganization Transactions
and this Offering” and “Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions — Stockholders
Agreement — Restrictions on Transfer.”

immediately after the consummation of this offering and the
application of the use of proceeds from this offering (assuming
an initial public offering price of
$ per share (the midpoint of the
estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover

Shares of our Class A common stock, Class B common
stock, Class C common stock and Class D common stock,
which we collectively refer to as our “common stock,”
will generally vote together as a single class on all matters
submitted to stockholders.
Upon the closing of this offering, we will enter into a tax
receivable agreement with an entity controlled by the Principal
Equityholders (the “Tax Receivable Entity”) that will
provide for the payment by us to it of 85% of the amount of cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income
tax or franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after
this offering as a result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the purchases by us and our subsidiaries of membership
interests in EBS Master, (b) exchanges by the H&F
Continuing LLC Members of EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class C common stock (or, after
the conversion date, Class D common stock)) for shares of
our Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) or (c) payments under the tax
receivable agreement to the Tax Receivable Entity; (ii) tax
benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as
a result of this tax receivable agreement; and (iii) net
operating loss carryovers from prior periods (or portions
thereof).
We will also enter into a tax receivable agreement with the EBS
Equity Plan Members which will provide for the payment by us to
the EBS Equity Plan Members of 85% of the amount of the cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or
franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after this
offering as a result of (i) any step-up in tax basis in EBS
Master’s assets resulting from (a) the exchanges by
the EBS Equity Plan Members of EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class D common stock) for shares of
our Class A common stock or (b) payments under this tax
receivable agreement to the EBS Equity Plan Members; and

Our financial results prior to
November 16, 2006 represent the financial results of the
group of subsidiaries of HLTH that comprised its Emdeon Business
Services segment. On November 16, 2006, HLTH sold a 52%
interest in EBS Master (which was formed as a holding company
for our business in connection with that transaction) to us.
Accordingly, the financial information presented reflects the
results of
|

operations and financial condition
of Emdeon Business Services before the 2006 Transaction
(Predecessor) and of us after the 2006 Transaction (Successor).

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net
income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense
(benefit), depreciation and amortization, and certain other
non-recurring, non-cash or nonoperating items. We use Adjusted
EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance
on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in
combination with our U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, or “GAAP” results and the following
reconciliation, we believe provides a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than
GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted EBITDA assists our
board of directors, management and investors in comparing our
operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes
the impact of our capital structure (such as interest expense
and 2006 Transaction costs), asset base (such as depreciation
and amortization) and items outside the control of our
management team (such as income taxes), as well as other
non-cash (such as purchase accounting adjustments, share-based
compensation expense and lease termination costs) and
non-recurring items (such as litigation expenses and failed
acquisition charges), from our operations.
|
|
|
|
Our board of directors and
management use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary measures
for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for
evaluating, on at least a quarterly and annual basis, actual
results against such expectations. Adjusted EBITDA is also used
as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of
certain executive incentive compensation programs, as well as
for incentive compensation plans for employees generally. See
“Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion
and Analysis.” Finally, adjusted EBITDA, or a similar
non-GAAP measure, is used by research analysts, investment
bankers and lenders to assess our operating performance.
|
|
|
Despite the importance of this
measure in analyzing our business, measuring and determining
incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance,
as well as the use of adjusted EBITDA measures by securities
analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies,
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP; nor is Adjusted
EBITDA intended to be a measure of liquidity or free cash flow
for our discretionary use. Some of the limitations of Adjusted
EBITDA are:
|
|
|
• Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for
capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
|
• Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
capital needs;
|
|
|
• Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements to
service interest or principal payments under our credit
agreements;
|
|
|
• Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect income tax payments we are required to make; and
|
|
|
• although depreciation
and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being
depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the
future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash
requirements for such replacements.
|
|
|
|
To properly and prudently evaluate
our business, we encourage you to review the financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, and not rely
on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We
also strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of net
income to Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in
this prospectus, may differ from and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies, because
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under
GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations.
|
|
|
|
The following table sets forth a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, a comparable
GAAP-based measure. All of the items included in the
reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA are either
(i) non-cash items (such as depreciation and amortization,
share-based compensation expense and purchase accounting
adjustments) or (ii) items that management does not
consider in assessing our on-going operating performance (such
as income taxes and interest expense). In the case of the
non-cash items, management believes that investors can better
assess our comparative operating performance because the
measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in
actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and
other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that
affect operating performance. In the case of the other items,
management believes that investors can better assess our
operating performance if the measures are presented without
these items because their financial impact does not reflect
ongoing operating performance.

(a)
|
|
Represents non-cash advertising
services arising from an asset that originated in a barter
transaction between HLTH and a media company. This asset was
charged against income over the beneficial period of the
services. We do not believe that the costs of this transaction
are representative of our on-going operations.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Represents non-cash share-based
compensation of EBS Master to both employees and directors. We
believe excluding this non-cash expense allows us to compare our
operating performance without regard to the impact of
share-based compensation expense, which varies from period to
period based on the amount and timing of grants.

|
|
(c)
|
|
Represents non-cash share-based
compensation of HLTH to employees. We believe excluding this
non-cash expense allows us to compare our operating performance
without regard to the impact of share-based compensation
expense, which varies from period to period based on the amount
and timing of grants.

|
|
|
(d)
|

Represents cash compensation to
employees paid in conjunction with the 2006 Transaction that was

believe it is appropriate to exclude these charges which are not
considered an ongoing component of our operations.
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
|
Represents adjustments that arose
out of purchase accounting related to business combinations.
Historically, these adjustments have primarily related to the
revaluation of deferred revenue to fair value at the dates of
the 2006 Transaction and the 2008 Transaction and the subsequent
reduction to revenue recognized. As the related revenue stream
is an on-going component of our business, we believe it is
appropriate to consider these items as revenue which would have
been recorded had purchase accounting not been performed. We
also believe that this reduction of the deferred revenue affects
period-to-period financial performance comparability and is not
indicative of the changes in our underlying results of
operations. In the future, purchase method adjustments affecting
other items in addition to deferred revenue may be reflected in
our Adjusted EBITDA computation.

Represents charges imputed to us by
HLTH related to the 2006 Transaction. We believe it is

one or more of these risks and uncertainties develop into actual
events, causing you to lose all or part of the money you paid to
buy our shares. While we believe these risks and uncertainties
are most important for you to consider, we may face other risks
or uncertainties which may adversely affect our business.
Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are
forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking
Statements.”
Risks
Related to our Business
We
face significant competition for our products and
services.
The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive,
continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid
technological change. We face competition from many healthcare
information systems companies and other technology companies, as
well as certain of our customers that provide internally some of
the same products and services that we offer. Our key
competitors include: (i) healthcare transaction processing
companies, including those providing electronic data interchange
(“EDI”)
and/or
Internet-based services and those providing services through
other means, such as paper and fax; (ii) healthcare
information system vendors that support providers, including
physician practice management system and electronic medical
record system vendors; (iii) large information technology
consulting service providers; and (iv) health insurance
companies, pharmacy benefit management companies and pharmacies
that provide or are developing electronic transaction services
for use by providers
and/or by
their members and customers. In addition, major software,
hardware, information systems and business process outsourcing
companies, both with and without healthcare companies as their
partners, offer or have announced their intention to offer
products or services that are competitive with those of ours.
Many of our competitors are significantly larger and have
greater financial resources than we do and have established
reputations for success in implementing healthcare electronic
transaction processing systems. Other companies have targeted
this industry for growth, including by developing new
technologies utilizing Internet-based systems. We may not be
able to compete successfully with these companies, and these or
other competitors may commercialize products, services or
technologies that render our products, services or technologies
obsolete or less marketable.
Some
of our customers compete with us and some, instead of using a
third party provider, perform internally some of the same
services that we offer.
Some of our existing payer and provider customers compete with
us or may plan to do so or belong to alliances that compete with
us or plan to do so, either with respect to the same products
and services we provide to them or with respect to some of our
other lines of business. For example, some of our payer
customers currently offer, through affiliated clearinghouses,
through Web portals and other means, electronic data
transmission services to providers that allow the provider to
bypass third party EDI service providers such as us, and
additional payers may do so in the future. The ability of payers
to replicate our products and services may adversely affect the
terms and conditions we are able to negotiate in our agreements
with them and our transaction volume with them, which directly
relates to our revenues. We may not be able to maintain our
existing relationships for connectivity services with payers or
develop new relationships on satisfactory terms, if at all. In
addition, some of our products and services allow payers to
outsource business processes that they have been or could be
performing internally and, in order for us to be able to
compete, use of our products and services must be more efficient
for them than use of internal resources.
If we
are unable to retain our existing customers, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could
suffer.
Our success depends substantially upon the retention of our
customers, particularly due to our transaction-based, recurring
revenue model. We may not be able to retain some of our existing
customers if we are unable to
17
continue to provide products and services that our payer
customers believe enable them to achieve improved efficiencies
and cost-effectiveness, and that our provider customers believe
allow them to more effectively manage their revenue cycle,
increase reimbursement rates and improve cash flows. We also may
not be able to retain customers if our electronic
and/or
paper-based solutions contain errors or otherwise fail to
perform properly or if our pricing structure is no longer
competitive. Historically, we have enjoyed high customer
retention rates; however, we may not be able to maintain high
retention rates in the future. Our transaction-based, recurring
revenues depend in part upon maintaining this high customer
retention rate, and if we are unable to maintain our
historically high customer retention rate, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
impacted.
If we
are unable to connect to a large number of payers and providers,
our product and service offerings would be limited and less
desirable to our customers.
Our business largely depends upon our ability to connect
electronically to a substantial number of payers, such as
insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid agencies and pharmacy
benefit managers, and providers, such as hospitals, physicians,
dentists and pharmacies. The attractiveness of some of the
solutions we offer to providers, such as our claims management
and submission services, depends in part on our ability to
connect to a large number of payers, which allows us to
streamline and simplify workflows for providers. These
connections may either be made directly or through a
clearinghouse. We may not be able to maintain our links with a
large number of payers on terms satisfactory to us and we may
not be able to develop new connections, either directly or
through other clearinghouses, on satisfactory terms. The failure
to maintain these connections could cause our products and
services to be less attractive to our provider customers. In
addition, our payer customers view our connections to a large
number of providers as essential in allowing them to receive a
high volume of transactions and realize the resulting cost
efficiencies through the use of our products and services. Our
failure to maintain existing connections with payers, providers
and other clearinghouses or to develop new connections as
circumstances warrant, or an increase in the utilization of
direct links between payers and providers, could cause our
electronic transaction processing system to be less desirable to
healthcare constituents, which would reduce the number of
transactions that we process and for which we are paid,
resulting in a decrease in revenues and an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
The
failure to maintain our relationships with our channel partners
or significant changes in the terms of the agreements we have
with them may have an adverse effect on our ability to
successfully market our products and services.
We have entered into contracts with other companies
(“channel partners”), including healthcare information
system vendors and electronic medical record vendors, to market
and sell some of our products and services. Most of these
contracts are on a non-exclusive basis. However, in certain
instances, we may be bound by contractual provisions with
certain of these channel partners that restrict our ability to
market and sell our products and services to potential
customers. Our arrangements with some of these channel partners
involve negotiated payments to them based on percentages of
revenues they generate. If the payments prove to be too high, we
may be unable to realize acceptable margins, but if the payments
prove to be too low, the channel partners may not be motivated
to produce a sufficient volume of revenues. The success of these
contractual arrangements will depend in part upon the channel
partners’ own competitive, marketing and strategic
considerations, including the relative advantages of using
alternative products being developed and marketed by them or our
competitors. If any of these channel partners are unsuccessful
in marketing our products and services or seek to amend the
financial or other terms of the contracts we have with them, we
will need to broaden our marketing efforts to increase focus on
the solutions they sell and alter our distribution strategy,
which may divert our planned efforts and resources from other
projects. In addition, as part of the packages these channel
partners sell, they may offer a choice to their customers
between products and services that we supply and similar
products and services offered by our competitors or by the
channel partners directly. For example, one large payer customer
terminated an MGA with us last year in order to allow certain of
our channel partners and provider customers to directly submit
transactions to the payer. If our products and services are not
chosen for inclusion in vendor packages, the revenues we earn
from these relationships will decrease. Lastly, we could be
subject to claims and liability, as a result of the activities,
products or services of these channel partners or other
resellers of our products and services. Even if these claims do
not result in liability to us, investigating and
18
defending these claims could be expensive, time-consuming and
result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.
Our
business and future success may depend on our ability to
cross-sell our products and services.
Our ability to generate revenue and growth partly depends on our
ability to cross-sell our products and services to our existing
customers and new customers. We expect our ability to
successfully cross-sell our products and services will be one of
the most significant factors influencing our growth. We may not
be successful in cross-selling our products and services because
our customers may find our additional products and services
unnecessary or unattractive. Our failure to sell additional
products and services to existing customers could affect our
ability to grow our business.
We
have faced and will continue to face increasing pressure to
reduce our prices, which may cause us to no longer be
competitive.
As electronic transaction processing further penetrates the
healthcare market or becomes highly standardized, competition
among electronic transaction processors is increasingly focused
on pricing. This competition has placed, and could place
further, intense pressure on us to reduce our prices in order to
retain market share. If we are unable to reduce our costs
sufficiently to offset declines in our prices, or if we are
unable to introduce new, innovative product and service
offerings with higher margins, our results of operations could
decline.
In addition, many healthcare industry constituents are
consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems
with greater market power. As provider networks, such as
hospitals, and payer organizations, such as private insurance
companies, consolidate, competition to provide the types of
products and services we provide will become more intense, and
the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships
with key industry constituents will become greater. These
industry constituents have, in the past, and may, in the future,
try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for
our products and services. If we are forced to reduce prices,
our margins will decrease and our results of operations will
decline, unless we are able to achieve corresponding reductions
in expenses.
Our
ability to generate revenue could suffer if we do not continue
to update and improve our existing products and services and
develop new ones.
We must improve the functionality of our existing products and
services in a timely manner and introduce new and valuable
healthcare information technology and service solutions in order
to respond to technological and regulatory developments and,
thereby, retain existing customers and attract new ones. For
example, from time to time, government agencies may alter format
and data code requirements applicable to electronic
transactions. We may not be successful in responding to
technological and regulatory developments and changing customer
needs. The pace of change in the markets we serve is rapid, and
there are frequent new product and service introductions by our
competitors and by channel partners who use our products and
services in their offerings. If we do not respond successfully
to technological and regulatory changes and evolving industry
standards, our products and services may become obsolete.
Technological changes may also result in the offering of
competitive products and services at lower prices than we are
charging for our products and services, which could result in
our losing sales unless we lower the prices we charge. If we do
lower our prices on some of our products and services, we will
need to increase our margins on these products and services in
order to increase our overall profitability. In addition, the
products and services we develop or license may not be able to
compete with the alternatives available to our customers.
Achieving
market acceptance of new or updated products and services is
necessary in order for them to become profitable and will likely
require significant efforts and expenditures.
Our future financial results will depend in part on whether our
new or updated products and services receive sufficient customer
acceptance. These products and services include:
|
|
|
|
•
|
electronic billing, payment and remittance services for payers
and providers that complement our existing paper-based patient
billing and payment and payment distribution services;
|
19
|
|
|
|
•
|
electronic prescriptions from healthcare providers to pharmacies
and pharmacy benefit managers;
|
|
|
•
|
our other pre- and post-adjudication services for payers and
providers; and
|
|
|
•
|
decision support or business intelligence solutions.
|
Achieving market acceptance for new or updated products and
services is likely to require substantial marketing efforts and
expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand
by constituents in the healthcare industry. In addition,
deployment of new or updated products and services may require
the use of additional resources for training our existing sales
force and customer service personnel and for hiring and training
additional salespersons and customer service personnel. Failure
to achieve broad penetration in target markets with respect to
new or updated products and services could have an adverse
effect on our business prospects and financial results.
There
are increased risks of performance problems during times when we
are making significant changes to our products and services or
to systems we use to provide services. In addition,
implementation of our products and services may cost more or
take longer than anticipated.
In order to respond to technological and regulatory changes and
evolving industry standards, our products and services must be
continually updated and enhanced. The software and systems that
we sell and that we use to provide services are inherently
complex and, despite testing and quality control, we cannot be
certain that errors will not be found in any enhancements,
updates and new versions that we market or use. Even if new
products and services do not have performance problems, our
technical and customer service personnel may have difficulties
in installing them or in their efforts to provide any necessary
training and support to customers.
Implementation of changes in our technology and systems may cost
more or take longer than originally expected and may require
more testing than originally anticipated. While the new hardware
and software will be tested before it is used in production, we
cannot be sure that the testing will uncover all problems that
may occur in actual use. If significant problems occur as a
result of these changes, we may fail to meet our contractual
obligations to customers, which could result in claims being
made against us or in the loss of customer relationships. In
addition, changes in our technology and systems may not provide
the additional functionality and other benefits that were
originally expected.
Disruptions
in service or damages to our data or other operation centers, or
other software or systems failures, could adversely affect our
business.
Our data centers and operation centers are essential to our
business. Our operations depend on our ability to maintain and
protect our computer systems, many of which are located in data
centers that we operate in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee, and
one operated by a third party in Florida. Any system failure,
including network, software or hardware failure that causes
interruption or an increase in response time of our products and
services, could reduce the attractiveness of our products and
services to our customers. Our business and results of
operations are also highly dependent on our print and mail
operations, which are primarily conducted in print and mail
operations centers in Bridgeton, Missouri, Toledo, Ohio and
Scottsdale, Arizona. If our print and mail operations are
interrupted, even for a short period of time, these products and
services could become less attractive to our customers.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide us with a
variety of products and services, including telecommunications
and data processing services necessary for our transaction
services and processing functions and software developers for
the development and maintenance of certain software products we
use to provide our solutions. If these suppliers do not fulfill
their contractual obligations or choose to discontinue their
products or services, our business and operations could be
disrupted, our brand and reputation could be harmed and our
financial condition and operating results could be adversely
affected.
Despite the implementation of security measures, our
infrastructure, data centers or systems that we interface with,
including the Internet and related systems, may be vulnerable to
physical break-ins, hackers, improper employee or contractor
access, computer viruses, programming errors, denial-of-service
attacks, terrorist attacks or
20
other attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems.
We may be required to expend significant capital and other
resources to protect against security breaches and hackers or to
alleviate problems caused by such breaches.
We maintain insurance against fires, floods, other natural
disasters and general business interruptions, the amount of
coverage may not be adequate in any particular case. The
occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions,
delays or cessations in service to users of our products and
services, which could impair or prohibit our ability to provide
our products and services and adversely impact our business.
We may
be liable to our customers and may lose customers if we provide
poor service, if our products and services do not comply with
our agreements or if our software products or transmission
systems contain errors or experience failures.
We must meet our customers’ service level expectations and
our contractual obligations with respect to our products and
services. Failure to do so could subject us to liability, as
well as cause us to lose customers. In some cases, we rely upon
third party contractors to assist us in providing our products
and services. Our ability to meet our contractual obligations
and customer expectations may be impacted by the performance of
our third party contractors and their ability to comply with
applicable laws and regulations. For example, our new electronic
payment and remittance services depend in part on the ability of
our vendors to comply with applicable banking and financial
service requirements and their failure to do so could have an
adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Errors in the software and systems we provide to customers or
the software and systems we use to provide our products and
services also could cause serious problems for our customers. In
addition, because of the large amount of data we collect and
manage, it is possible that hardware failures and errors in our
systems would result in data loss or corruption or cause the
information that we collect to be incomplete or contain
inaccuracies that our customers regard as significant. For
example, errors in our transaction processing systems can result
in payers paying the wrong amount, making payments to the wrong
payee or delaying payments. Since some of our products and
services relate to laboratory ordering and reporting and
electronic prescriptions, an error in our systems also could
result in injury to a patient. If problems like these occur, our
customers may seek compensation from us or may seek to terminate
their agreements with us, withhold payments due to us, seek
refunds from us of part or all of the fees charged under our
agreements, a loan or advancement of funds, or initiate
litigation or other dispute resolution procedures. In addition,
we may be subject to claims against us by others affected by any
such problems.
In addition, our activities and the activities of our third
party contractors involve the storage, use and transmission of
personal health information. Accordingly, security breaches of
our computer systems or at print and mail operation centers
could expose us to a risk of loss or litigation, government
enforcement actions and contractual liabilities. We cannot
assure you that contractual provisions attempting to limit our
liability in these areas will be successful or enforceable, or
that other parties will accept such contractual provisions as
part of our agreements. Any security breaches also could impact
our ability to provide our products and services, as well as
impact the confidence of our customers in our products and
services, either of which could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We attempt to limit, by contract, our liability for damages
arising from our negligence, errors, mistakes or security
breaches. However, contractual limitations on liability may not
be enforceable in certain circumstances or may otherwise not
provide sufficient protection to us from liability for damages.
We maintain liability insurance coverage, including coverage for
errors and omissions. It is possible, however, that claims could
exceed the amount of our applicable insurance coverage, if any,
or that this coverage may not continue to be available on
acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts. Even if these claims
do not result in liability to us, investigating and defending
against them could be expensive and time consuming and could
divert management’s attention away from our operations. In
addition, negative publicity caused by these events may delay
market acceptance of our products and services, including
unrelated products and services, or may harm our reputation and
our business.
21
Our
business will suffer if we fail to successfully integrate
acquired businesses and technologies or to appropriately assess
the risks in particular transactions.
We have in the past acquired, and may in the future acquire,
businesses, technologies, services, product lines and other
assets. The successful integration of the acquired businesses
and assets into our operations, on a cost-effective basis, can
be critical to our future performance. The amount and timing of
the expected benefits of any acquisition, including potential
synergies between our current business and the acquired
business, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
those relating to:
|
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to maintain relationships with the customers of the
acquired business;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to cross-sell products and services to customers
with which we have established relationships and those with
which the acquired businesses have established relationships;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to retain or replace key personnel;
|
|
|
•
|
potential conflicts in payer, provider, vendor or marketing
relationships;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to coordinate organizations that are geographically
diverse and may have different business cultures; and
|
|
|
•
|
compliance with regulatory requirements.
|
We cannot guarantee that any acquired businesses will be
successfully integrated with our operations in a timely or
cost-effective manner, or at all. Failure to successfully
integrate acquired businesses or to achieve anticipated
operating synergies, revenue enhancements or cost savings could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Although our management attempts to evaluate the risks inherent
in each transaction and to evaluate acquisition candidates
appropriately, we may not properly ascertain all such risks and
the acquired businesses and assets may not perform as we expect
or enhance the value of our company as a whole. In addition,
acquired companies or businesses may have larger than expected
liabilities that are not covered by the indemnification, if any,
that we are able to obtain from the sellers.
Developments
in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our
business.
Developments that result in a reduction of expenditures by
customers or potential customers in the healthcare industry
could have an adverse effect on our business. General reductions
in expenditures by healthcare industry constituents could result
from, among other things:
|
|
|
|
•
|
government regulation or private initiatives that affect the
manner in which providers interact with patients, payers or
other healthcare industry constituents, including changes in
pricing or means of delivery of healthcare products and services;
|
|
|
•
|
reductions in governmental funding for healthcare; and
|
|
|
•
|
adverse changes in business or economic conditions affecting
payers or providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device
manufacturers or other healthcare industry constituents.
|
Even if general expenditures by industry constituents remain the
same or increase, developments in the healthcare industry may
result in reduced spending on information technology and
services or in some or all of the specific markets we serve or
are planning to serve. In addition, our customers’
expectations regarding pending or potential industry
developments may also affect their budgeting processes and
spending plans with respect to the types of products and
services we provide. For example, use of our products and
services could be affected by:
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the billing patterns of providers;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the design of health insurance plans;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the contracting methods payers use in their
relationships with providers; and
|
22
|
|
|
|
•
|
decreases in marketing expenditures by pharmaceutical companies
or medical device manufacturers, including as a result of
governmental regulation or private initiatives that discourage
or prohibit promotional activities by pharmaceutical or medical
device companies.
|
There are currently numerous federal, state and private
initiatives and studies seeking ways to increase the use of
information technology in healthcare as a means of improving
care and reducing costs. These initiatives may result in
additional or costly legal and regulatory requirements that are
applicable to us and our customers, may encourage more companies
to enter our markets, may provide advantages to our competitors
and may result in the development of technology solutions that
compete with ours.
The healthcare industry has changed significantly in recent
years and we expect that significant changes will continue to
occur. The timing and impact of developments in the healthcare
industry are difficult to predict. We cannot be sure that the
markets for our products and services will continue to exist at
current levels or that we will have adequate technical,
financial and marketing resources to react to changes in those
markets.
Government
regulation creates risks and challenges with respect to our
compliance efforts and our business strategies.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and is subject to
changing political, legislative, regulatory and other
influences. Many healthcare laws are complex, and their
application to specific services and relationships may not be
clear. In particular, many existing healthcare laws and
regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate the healthcare
information products and services that we provide, and these
laws and regulations may be applied to our products and services
in ways that we do not anticipate. Federal and state
legislatures and agencies periodically consider proposals to
reform or revise aspects of the healthcare industry or to revise
or create additional statutory and regulatory requirements. Such
proposals, if implemented, could impact our operations, the use
of our products or services and our ability to market new
products and services, or could create unexpected liabilities
for us. We may also be impacted by non-healthcare laws as a
result of some of our products and services. For example, laws
regulating the banking and financial services industry may
impact our operations as a result of services and products we
plan to offer through an electronic payment vendor. We are
unable to predict what changes to laws or regulations might be
made in the future or how those changes could affect our
business or the costs of compliance.
We have attempted to structure our operations to comply with
legal requirements applicable to us directly and to our clients
and third party contractors, but there can be no assurance that
our operations will not be challenged or impacted by enforcement
initiatives. Any determination by a court or agency that our
products and services violate, or cause our customers to
violate, these laws or regulations could subject us or our
customers to civil or criminal penalties. Such a determination
could also require us to change or terminate portions of our
business, disqualify us from serving customers who are or do
business with government entities, or cause us to refund some or
all of our service fees or otherwise compensate our customers.
In addition, failure to satisfy laws or regulations could
adversely affect demand for our products and services and could
force us to expend significant capital, research and development
and other resources to address the failure. Even an unsuccessful
challenge by regulatory authorities or private whistleblowers
could result in loss of business, exposure to adverse publicity
and injury to our reputation and could adversely affect our
ability to retain and attract clients. Laws and regulations
impacting our operations include the following:
|
|
|
|
•
|
HIPAA and Other Privacy and Security
Requirements. There are numerous federal and
state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security
of personal health information. In particular, regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, or “HIPAA,” established
privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure
of individually identifiable health information and that require
the implementation of administrative, physical and technological
safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of individually identifiable health information in
electronic form. Our operations as a healthcare clearinghouse
are directly subject to the HIPAA privacy and security
standards. In addition, our payer and provider customers are
directly subject to the standards and are required to enter into
written agreements with us, known as business associate
agreements, which require us to safeguard individually
identifiable health information and restrict how we may use and
disclose such information.

23
In addition to the HIPAA privacy and security standards, most
states have enacted patient confidentiality laws that protect
against the disclosure of confidential medical information, and
many states have adopted or are considering further legislation
in this area, including privacy safeguards, security standards
and data security breach notification requirements. Such state
laws and regulations, if more stringent than the HIPAA
standards, are not preempted by the federal requirements and may
be applicable to us.

HIPAA Transaction and Identifier
Standards. HIPAA and its implementing regulations
also mandate certain format, data content and provider
identifier standards that must be used in certain electronic
transactions, such as claims, payment advice and eligibility
inquiries. Although our systems are fully capable of
transmitting transactions that comply with these requirements,
some payers and healthcare clearinghouses with which we conduct
business interpret HIPAA transaction requirements differently
than we do or may require us to use legacy formats or include
legacy identifiers as they transition to full compliance. Where
payers or healthcare clearinghouses require conformity with
their interpretations or require us to accommodate legacy
transactions or identifiers as a condition of successful
transactions, we seek to comply with their requirements, but may
be subject to enforcement actions as a result. In August 2008,
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed adopting
updated standard code sets for certain diagnoses and procedures
known as the ICD-10 code sets and making related changes to the
formats used for certain electronic transactions. If these or
other changes impacting electronic transactions become final, we
will be required to update our software and may be required to
implement other related changes to our systems. We may not be
successful in responding to these changes and any responsive
changes we make to our transactions and software may result in
errors and otherwise negatively impact our service levels. We
may also experience complications related to supporting
customers that are not fully compliant with the revised
requirements as of the applicable compliance date.

Anti-Kickback and Anti-Bribery Laws. A number
of federal and state laws govern patient referrals, financial
relationships with physicians and other referral sources and
inducements to providers and patients. For example, the federal
anti-kickback law prohibits any person or entity from offering,
paying, soliciting or receiving, directly or indirectly,
anything of value with the intent of generating referrals of
patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal
healthcare programs. Many states also have similar anti-kickback
laws that are not necessarily limited to items or services for
which payment is made by a federal healthcare program. Moreover,
both federal and state laws forbid bribery and similar behavior.
Any determination by a state or federal regulatory agency that
any of our activities or those of our customers or vendors
violate any of these laws could subject us to civil or criminal
penalties, could require us to change or terminate some portions
of our business, could require us to refund a portion of our
service fees, could disqualify us from providing services to
customers doing business with government programs and could have
an adverse effect on our business. Even an unsuccessful
challenge by regulatory authorities of our activities could
result in adverse publicity and could require a costly response
from us.
|
|
|
•
|
False or Fraudulent Claim Laws. There are
numerous federal and state laws that prohibit false or
fraudulent claims. False or fraudulent claims include, but are
not limited to, billing for services not rendered, failing to
refund known overpayments, misrepresenting actual services
rendered, improper coding and billing for medically unnecessary
items or services. We rely on our customers to provide us with
accurate and complete information. Errors and the unintended
consequences of data manipulations by us or our systems with
respect to entry, formatting, preparation or transmission of
claim information may be determined or alleged to be in
violation of these laws and regulations or could adversely
impact the compliance of our customers.

Banking and Financial Services Industry
Laws. The banking and financial services industry
is subject to numerous laws and regulations, some of which may
impact our operations and subject us, our vendors or our
customers to liability as a result of the payment distribution
products and services we offer or may offer in the future.
Although we do not act as a bank, we plan to provide products
and services that involve vendors who are licensed as, or
contract with, banks and other regulated providers of financial
services. As a result, we may be impacted by banking and
financial services industry laws and regulations, such as
licensing requirements, solvency standards, requirements to
maintain privacy of nonpublic personal financial information and
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit
insurance limits. Further, our payment
|
24
|
|
|
|
|
distribution products and services may impact the ability of our
payer customers to comply with state prompt payment laws. These
laws require payers to pay healthcare claims meeting the
statutory or regulatory definition of a “clean claim”
to be paid within a specified time frame.
|
Legislative
changes may impede our ability to utilize our off-shore service
capabilities.
In our operations, we have employees in Costa Rica and
contractors in India who may have access to patient health
information in order to assist us in performing services to our
customers. In recent sessions, the U.S. Congress has
considered legislation that would restrict the transmission of
personally identifiable information regarding a
U.S. resident to any foreign affiliate, subcontractor or
unaffiliated third party without adequate privacy protections or
without providing notice of the transmission and an opportunity
to opt out. Some of the proposals considered would have required
patient consent and imposed liability on healthcare businesses
arising from the improper sharing or other misuse of personally
identifiable information. Congress also has considered creating
a private civil cause of action that would allow an injured
party to recover damages sustained as a result of a violation of
these proposed restrictions. A number of states have also
considered, or are in the process of considering, prohibitions
or limitations on the disclosure of medical or other information
to individuals or entities located outside of the United States.
If legislation of this type is enacted, our ability to utilize
off-shore resources may be impeded, and we may be subject to
sanctions for failure to comply with the new mandates of the
legislation. Further, as a result of concerns regarding the
possible misuse of personally identifiable information, some of
our customers have contractually limited our ability to use our
off-shore resources. Use of off-shore resources may increase our
risk of violating our contractual obligations to our customers
to protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable
health information provided to us, which could adversely impact
our reputation and operating results.
Failure
by our customers to obtain proper permissions or provide us with
accurate and appropriate data may result in claims against us or
may limit or prevent our use of data which could harm our
business.
We require our customers to provide necessary notices and to
obtain necessary permissions for the use and disclosure of the
information that we receive. If they do not provide necessary
notices or obtain necessary permissions, then our use and
disclosure of information that we receive from them or on their
behalf may be limited or prohibited by state or federal privacy
laws or other laws. Such failures by our customers could impair
our functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain or
are based upon such data. For example, as part of our claims
submission services, we rely on our customers to provide us with
accurate and appropriate data and directives for our actions.
While we have implemented certain features and safeguards
designed to maximize the accuracy and completeness of claims
content, these features and safeguards may not be sufficient to
prevent inaccurate claims data from being submitted to payers.
In addition, such failures by our customers could interfere with
or prevent creation or use of rules, analyses or other
data-driven activities that benefit us. Accordingly, we may be
subject to claims or liability for inaccurate claims data
submitted to payers or for use or disclosure of information by
reason of lack of valid notice or permission. These claims or
liabilities could damage our reputation, subject us to
unexpected costs and adversely affect our financial condition
and operating results.
Certain
of our products and services present the potential for
embezzlement, identity theft or other similar illegal behavior
by our employees or contractors with respect to third
parties.
Among other things, our products and services include printing
and mailing checks
and/or
facilitating electronic funds transfers for our payer customers,
and handling mail and payments from payers and from patients for
many of our customers which frequently includes original checks
and/or
credit card information, and occasionally, may include currency.
Even in those cases in which we do not facilitate payments or
handle original documents or mail, our services also involve the
use and disclosure of personal and business information that
could be used to impersonate third parties or otherwise gain
access to their data or funds. If any of our employees or
contractors takes, converts or misuses such funds, documents or
data, we could be liable for damages, and our business
reputation could be damaged or destroyed. In addition, we could
be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal
misappropriation of funds, documents or data and therefore be
subject to civil or criminal liability. Federal and state
regulators may take the position that a data breach or
misdirection of data constitutes an
25
unfair or deceptive act or trade practice. We may also be
subject to laws and regulations requiring us to maintain
security safeguards and notify individuals affected by data
breaches.
Contractual
relationships with customers that are governmental agencies or
are funded by government programs may impose special burdens on
us and provide special benefits to those
customers.
A portion of our revenues comes from customers that are
governmental agencies or are funded by government programs. Our
contracts and subcontracts may be subject to some or all of the
following:
|
|
|
|
•
|
termination when appropriated funding for the current fiscal
year is exhausted;
|
|
|
•
|
termination for the governmental customer’s convenience,
subject to a negotiated settlement for costs incurred and profit
on work completed, along with the right to place contracts out
for bid before the full contract term, as well as the right to
make unilateral changes in contract requirements, subject to
negotiated price adjustments;
|
|
|
•
|
compliance and reporting requirements related to, among other
things, agency specific policies and regulations, equal
employment opportunity, affirmative action for veterans and
workers with disabilities and accessibility for the disabled;
|
|
|
•
|
broad audit rights; and
|
|
|
•
|
specialized remedies for breach and default, including setoff
rights, retroactive price adjustments and civil or criminal
fraud penalties, as well as mandatory administrative dispute
resolution procedures instead of state contract law remedies.
|
In addition, certain violations of federal law may subject us to
having our contracts terminated and, under certain
circumstances, suspension
and/or
debarment from future government contracts. We are also subject
to conflict-of-interest rules that may affect our eligibility
for some government contracts, including rules applicable to all
U.S. government contracts, as well as rules applicable to
the specific agencies with which we have contracts or with which
we may seek to enter into contracts.
The
protection of our intellectual property requires substantial
resources.
We rely upon a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright
and trademark laws, license agreements, confidentiality
procedures, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to
protect the intellectual property used in our business. The
steps we have taken to protect and enforce our proprietary
rights and intellectual property may not be adequate. For
instance, we may not be able to secure trademark or service mark
registrations for marks in the U.S. or in foreign countries
or take similar steps to secure patents for our proprietary
applications. Third parties may infringe upon or misappropriate
our patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar
proprietary rights, which could have an adverse affect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. If we
believe a third-party has misappropriated our intellectual
property, litigation may be necessary to enforce and protect
those rights, which would divert management resources, would be
expensive and may not effectively protect our intellectual
property. As a result, if anyone misappropriates our
intellectual property, it may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Third
parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual
property, and we could suffer significant litigation or
licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or
services.
We could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or
infringing intellectual property or other proprietary rights of
others. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be
expensive to defend and divert management’s attention from
our operations. If we become liable to third parties for
infringing these rights, we could be required to pay a
substantial damage award and to develop non-infringing
technology, obtain a license or cease selling the products or
services that use or contain the infringing intellectual
property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or
services or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms,
or at all. We may also be required to indemnify our customers if
they become subject to third-party claims relating to
intellectual property that we license or otherwise provide to
them, which could be costly.
26
We
have a substantial amount of indebtedness which could affect our
financial condition.
As of June 30, 2008, we had an aggregate of
$883.7 million of outstanding indebtedness (before
deduction of unamortized debt discount of $61.9 million
recorded in connection with the 2008 Transaction) and we had the
ability to borrow an additional $44.2 million under our
revolving credit facility. If we cannot generate sufficient cash
flow from operations to service our debt, we may need to
refinance our debt, dispose of assets or issue equity to obtain
necessary funds. We do not know whether we will be able to take
any of such actions on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory
to us or at all.
Our substantial amount of indebtedness could limit our ability
to:
|
|
|
|
•
|
obtain necessary additional financing for working capital,
capital expenditures or other purposes in the future;
|
|
|
•
|
plan for, or react to, changes in our business and the
industries in which we operate;
|
|
|
•
|
make future acquisitions or pursue other business
opportunities; and
|
|
|
•
|
react in an extended economic downturn.
|
Despite our substantial indebtedness, we may still be able to
incur significantly more debt. The incurrence of additional debt
could increase the risks associated with our substantial
leverage, including our ability to service our indebtedness. In
addition, because borrowings under our credit agreements bear
interest at a variable rate, our interest expense could
increase, exacerbating these risks. For instance, assuming an
aggregate principal balance of $883.7 million outstanding
under our credit agreements, which was the amount outstanding as
of June 30, 2008, a 1% increase in the interest rate we are
charged on our debt would have increased our annual interest
expense by $2.3 million, after including the effect of our
interest rate swap agreement.
The
terms of our credit agreements may restrict our current and
future operations, which would adversely affect our ability to
respond to changes in our business and to manage our
operations.
Our credit agreements contain, and any future indebtedness of
ours would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants
that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on
us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
|
|
|
|
•
|
incur additional debt;
|
|
|
•
|
issue preferred stock;
|
|
|
•
|
create liens;
|
|
|
•
|
create or incur contingent obligations;
|
|
|
•
|
engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock;
|
|
|
•
|
enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
|
|
|
•
|
make investments and acquisitions;
|
|
|
•
|
enter into certain hedging arrangements;
|
|
|
•
|
make capital expenditures;
|
|
|
•
|
pay dividends and make other restricted payments;
|
|
|
•
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
|
|
|
•
|
transfer all or substantially all of our assets or enter into
merger or consolidation transactions.
|
Our credit agreements also require us to maintain certain
financial ratios. A failure by us to comply with the covenants
or financial ratios contained in our credit agreements could
result in an event of default under the applicable facility
which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes
in our business and manage our operations. A change of control
of our company is also an event of default under our credit
agreements. Under our
27
credit agreements, a change of control of our company will occur
if we fail to own at least 55% of EBS Master or General Atlantic
or its affiliates fail to control us. In the event of any
default under our first lien credit agreement, the lenders under
that agreement will not be required to lend any additional
amounts to us. In addition, upon the occurrence of an event of
default under either of our credit agreements, the lenders under
both credit agreements could elect to declare all amounts
outstanding to be due and payable and require us to apply all of
our available cash to repay these amounts. If the indebtedness
under our credit agreements were to be accelerated, there can be
no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay this
indebtedness in full.
We have agreed that upon the request of our Principal
Equityholders, we will use our reasonable best efforts to amend
our credit agreements to modify the change of control provisions
or to refinance our credit agreements. See “Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions — Stockholders
Agreement.” Any amended credit agreements or new credit
agreements may impose even greater operating and financial
restrictions on us or bear a higher interest rate.
A
write-off of all or a part of our identifiable intangible assets
or goodwill would hurt our operating results and reduce our net
worth.
We have significant identifiable intangible assets and goodwill,
which represents the excess of the total purchase price of our
acquisitions over the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired. As of June 30, 2008, we had $989.5 million
of identifiable intangible assets and $622.9 million of
goodwill on our balance sheet, which represented in excess of
80% of our total assets. We amortize identifiable intangible
assets over their estimated useful lives which range from
2 to 20 years. We also evaluate our identifiable
intangible assets and goodwill for impairment at least annually.
We are not permitted to amortize goodwill under
U.S. accounting standards. In the event impairment of
either the identifiable intangible assets or goodwill is
identified, a charge to earnings would be recorded. Although it
does not affect our cash flow, a write-off in future periods of
all or a part of these assets would adversely affect our
operating results and financial condition. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations — Critical
Accounting Policies — Long-Lived Assets.”
We are
dependent on the continued service of key executives, the loss
of any of whom could adversely affect our
business.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of
our senior management team. We have entered into employment
and/or
severance protection agreements with certain members of our
senior management team that restrict their ability to compete
with us should they decide to leave our company. Even though we
have entered into these agreements, we cannot be sure that any
member of our senior management team will remain with us or that
they will not compete with us in the future. The loss of any
member of our senior management team could impair our ability to
execute our business plan and growth strategy, cause us to lose
customers and reduce revenues, or lead to employee morale
problems
and/or the
loss of key employees.
Our
success depends in part on our ability to identify, recruit and
retain skilled management and technical personnel. If we fail to
recruit and retain suitable candidates or if our relationship
with our employees changes or deteriorates, there could be an
adverse effect on our business
Our future success depends upon our continuing ability to
identify, attract, hire and retain highly qualified personnel,
including skilled technical, management, product and technology
and sales and marketing personnel, all of whom are in high
demand and are often subject to competing offers. Competition
for qualified personnel in the healthcare information technology
and services industry is intense, and we cannot assure you that
we will be able to hire or retain a sufficient number of
qualified personnel to meet our requirements, or that we will be
able to do so at salary, benefit and other compensation costs
that are acceptable to us. A loss of a substantial number of
qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and
motivate additional highly skilled employees required for
expansion of our business, could have an adverse effect on our
business. In addition, while none of our employees are currently
unionized, unionization of our employees is possible in the
future. Such unionizing activities could be costly to address
and, if successful, would likely adversely impact our operations.
28
Lengthy
sales, installation and implementation cycles for some of our
applications may result in delays or an inability to generate
revenues from these applications.
Sales of complex revenue cycle management and electronic medical
records applications may result in longer sales, contracting and
implementation cycles for our customers. These sales may be
subject to delays due to customers’ internal procedures for
deploying new technologies and processes and implementation may
be subject to delays based on the availability of the internal
customer resources needed. The use of our solutions may also be
delayed due to reluctance to change or modify existing
procedures. We are unable to control many of the factors that
will influence the timing of the buying decisions of potential
customers or the pace at which installation and training may
occur. If we experience longer sales, contracting and
implementation cycles for our applications, we may experience
delays in generating, or an inability to generate revenue from
these applications, which could have an adverse effect on our
financial results.
Risks
Related to our Organization and Structure
We are
a holding company and our principal asset after completion of
this offering will be our equity interests in EBS Master, and we
are accordingly dependent upon distributions from
EBS Master to pay dividends, if any, taxes and other
expenses.
We are a holding company and, upon completion of the
reorganization transactions and this offering, our principal
asset will be our ownership of equity interests in EBS Master in
the form of EBS Units. See “Organizational Structure.”
We have no independent means of generating revenue. We intend to
cause EBS Master to make distributions to its unitholders,
including us, in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable
taxes payable but are limited in our ability to cause EBS Master
to make these and other distributions to us (including for
purposes of paying corporate and other overhead expenses and
dividends) due to the terms of our credit agreements. To the
extent that we need funds and EBS Master is restricted from
making such distributions under applicable law or regulation, as
a result of the terms in our credit agreements or is otherwise
unable to provide such funds, it could adversely affect our
liquidity and financial condition.
We are
controlled by our Principal Equityholders whose interest in our
business may be different than yours, and certain statutory
provisions afforded to stockholders are not applicable to
us.
Together, our Principal Equityholders will control
approximately % of the
combined voting power of our common stock
(or % if the underwriters exercise
their over-allotment option in full) after the completion of
this offering and the application of the net proceeds from this
offering. In connection with the reorganization transactions, we
will enter into the Stockholders Agreement with the General
Atlantic Equityholders, the H&F Equityholders and the EBS
Equity Plan Members. Under the Stockholders Agreement, our
Principal Equityholders will be entitled to nominate all members
of our board of directors and each of the Principal
Equityholders will agree to vote for all of the nominees. See
“Management — Corporate Governance —
Board Structure” and “Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions — Stockholders
Agreement” for additional detail on the composition of our
board of directors and the rights of our Principal Equityholders
under the Stockholders Agreement.
Accordingly, our Principal Equityholders can exercise
significant influence over our business policies and affairs,
including the power to nominate our board of directors. In
addition, the Principal Stockholders can control any action
requiring the general approval of our stockholders, including
the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and the approval of mergers or sales of substantially
all of our assets. The concentration of ownership and voting
power of our Principal Equityholders may also delay, defer or
even prevent an acquisition by a third party or other change of
control of our company and may make some transactions more
difficult or impossible without the support of our Principal
Equityholders, even if such events are in the best interests of
minority stockholders. The concentration of voting power among
the Principal Equityholders may have an adverse effect on the
price of our Class A common stock. In addition, because
shares of our Class B common stock and Class C common
stock each have 10 votes per share on matters submitted to
stockholders, our Principal Equityholders will be able to exert
significant influence over us even after they have sold a
significant amount of the equity they own in our company.
29
We have opted out of section 203 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the
“Delaware General Corporation Law,” which, subject to
certain exceptions, prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a business combination transaction
with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after
the interested stockholder became such. Therefore, after the
lock-up
period expires, the General Atlantic Equityholders and the
H&F Equityholders are able to transfer control of us to a
third party by transferring their common stock (subject to the
restrictions in the Stockholders Agreement), which would not
require the approval of our board of directors or our other
stockholders.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity”
will not apply against the General Atlantic Equityholders or the
H&F Equityholders and their respective affiliates, in a
manner that would prohibit them from investing in competing
businesses or doing business with our customers. To the extent
they invest in such other businesses, our Principal
Equityholders may have differing interests than our other
stockholders.
For additional information regarding the share ownership of, and
our relationship with, General Atlantic and H&F, you should
read the information under the headings “Principal and
Selling Stockholders” and “Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions.”
We
will be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements
since we will be a “Controlled Company” within the
meaning of the NYSE Rules and, as a result, our stockholders
will not have the protections afforded by these corporate
governance requirements.
Together, our Principal Equityholders will continue to control
more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock upon
completion of this offering. As a result, we will be considered
a “controlled company” for the purposes of the NYSE
listing requirements and therefore we will be permitted to, and
we intend to, opt out of the NYSE listing requirements that
would otherwise require our board of directors to have a
majority of independent directors and our compensation and
nominating and corporate governance committees to be comprised
entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, our stockholders
will not have the same protection afforded to stockholders of
companies that are subject to all of the NYSE governance
requirements and the ability of our independent directors to
influence our business policies and affairs may be reduced. See
“Management — Corporate Governance —
Controlled Company.”
We
will be required to pay an affiliate of our Principal
Equityholders and the EBS Equity Plan Members for certain tax
benefits we may claim arising in connection with this offering
and related transactions.
Prior to this offering, we and two of our subsidiaries have
purchased membership interests in EBS Master. Also, as described
under “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to use a portion of
the proceeds from this offering to purchase additional
membership interests in EBS Master from the H&F Continuing
LLC Members. The purchases of these membership interests
resulted, and will result in, tax basis adjustments to the
assets of EBS Master, and these basis adjustments have been
allocated to us and two of our subsidiaries. In addition, the
EBS Units (along with the corresponding shares of our
Class C common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class D common stock)) held by the H&F Continuing LLC
Members will be exchangeable in the future for shares of our
Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) and the EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class D common stock) held by
the EBS Equity Plan Members will be exchangeable in the future
for shares of our Class A common stock. These future
exchanges are likely to result in tax basis adjustments to the
assets of EBS Master, which adjustments would also be allocated
to us. Both the existing and the anticipated basis adjustments
are expected to reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise
be required to pay in the future.
We intend to enter into a tax receivable agreement with the Tax
Receivable Entity that will provide for the payment by us to the
Tax Receivable Entity of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if
any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or
franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after this
offering as a result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the purchases by us and our subsidiaries of EBS Units,
(b) exchanges by the H&F Continuing LLC Members of EBS
Units (along with the corresponding shares of our Class C
common stock (or, after the conversion date, Class D common
stock)) for shares of our Class B common
30
stock (or, after the conversion date, Class A common
stock), or (c) payments under this tax receivable agreement
to the Tax Receivable Entity; (ii) tax benefits related to
imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of this tax
receivable agreement and (iii) net operating loss carryovers
from prior periods (or portions thereof).
We will also enter into a tax receivable agreement with the EBS
Equity Plan Members which will provide for the payment by us to
the EBS Equity Plan Members of 85% of the amount of the cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income
tax or franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after
this offering as a result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the exchanges by the EBS Equity Plan Members of EBS
Units (along with the corresponding shares of our Class D
common stock) for shares of our Class A common stock or
(b) payments under this tax receivable agreement to the EBS
Equity Plan Members and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed
interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of this tax
receivable agreement.
The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and
timing of any payments under the tax receivable agreements, will
vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of
exchanges by the H&F Continuing LLC Members or the EBS
Equity Plan Members, as applicable, the price of our
Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, the
extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount and
timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the
tax rate then applicable, our use of net operating loss
carryovers and the portion of our payments under the tax
receivable agreements constituting imputed interest or
amortizable basis. We expect that, as a result of the amount of
the increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible
assets of EBS Master, assuming no material changes in the
relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient taxable income to
realize in full the potential tax benefit described above,
future payments under the tax receivable agreements in respect
of the purchases will aggregate $
and range from approximately $ to
$ per year over the next
15 years (or $ and range from
approximately $ to
$ per year over the next
15 years if the underwriters exercise in full their option
to purchase additional Class A common stock). Future
payments under the tax receivable agreements in respect of
subsequent acquisitions of EBS Units would be in addition to
these amounts and would, if such exchanges took place at the
initial public offering price, be of comparable magnitude.
In addition, although we are not aware of any issue that would
cause the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to
challenge the tax basis increases or other benefits arising
under the tax receivable agreements, the Tax Receivable Entity
and the EBS Equity Plan Members will not reimburse us for any
payments previously made if such basis increases or other
benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess
payments made to the Tax Receivable Entity or the EBS Equity
Plan Members will be netted against payments otherwise to be
made, if any, after our determination of such excess. As a
result, in such circumstances, we could make payments under the
tax receivable agreements that are greater than our actual cash
tax savings.
Finally, because we are a holding company with no operations of
our own, our ability to make payments under the tax receivable
agreements is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to
make distributions to us. Our credit agreements restrict the
ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us, which
could affect our ability to make payments under the tax
receivable agreements. To the extent that we are unable to make
payments under the tax receivable agreements for any reason,
such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until
paid.
Risks
Related to This Offering and our Class A Common
Stock
Substantial
future sales of shares of our Class A common stock in the
public market could cause our stock price to fall.
Upon consummation of this offering, we will
have shares
of Class A common stock outstanding,
excluding shares
of Class A common stock underlying outstanding options and
restricted stock units, assuming the underwriters do not
exercise their option to purchase additional shares and assuming
all shares of our outstanding Class B common stock are
converted into Class A common stock. Of these shares,
the shares
sold in this offering
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their option in full) will be
freely tradable without further restriction under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon
completion of this offering,
approximately
of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock
(including shares
of Class A common stock that may be issued upon conversion
of our Class B common stock) will be deemed
“restricted securities,” as that term is defined under
Rule 144. Immediately following the consummation of this
offering, the holders of
approximately shares
of our Class A common stock
31
(including shares
of our Class A common stock that may be issued upon
conversion of our Class B common stock) will be entitled to
dispose of their shares following the expiration of an initial
180-day
underwriter
“lock-up”
period pursuant to the holding period, volume and other
restrictions of Rule 144
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their option in full).
In addition, upon consummation of the offering and the
application of the net proceeds from this offering, the H&F
Continuing LLC Members will own an aggregate
of
EBS Units
and shares
of our Class C common stock
(or
EBS Units
and
shares of our Class C common stock if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full) and the EBS Equity
Plan Members will own an aggregate
of EBS
Units
and shares
of our Class D common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
EBS LLC Agreement and our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, each of the EBS Post-IPO Members will be able to
exchange its EBS Units (and corresponding shares of our
Class C common stock or Class D common stock) for
shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common
stock, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis. Shares of our
Class A common stock issuable to the EBS Post-IPO Members
upon an exchange of EBS Units as described above and the shares
of Class A common stock that may be issued to the H&F
Continuing LLC Members upon the conversion of Class B
common stock would be considered “restricted
securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144.
We intend to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act
registering shares
of our Class A common stock reserved for issuance under our
2008 Equity Plan and we will enter into the Stockholders
Agreement under which we will grant demand and piggyback
registration rights to our Principal Equityholders and the EBS
Equity Plan Members. See the information under the heading
“Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed
description of the shares that will be available for future sale
upon completion of this offering.
We do
not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and,
because we are a holding company, we may be unable to pay
dividends.
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to
finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do
not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.
Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent on
then-existing conditions, including our financial condition and
results of operations, capital requirements, contractual
restrictions, business prospects and other factors that our
board of directors considers relevant. Furthermore, because we
are a holding company, any dividend payments would depend on the
cash flow of our subsidiaries. However, our credit agreements
limit the amount of distributions our subsidiaries (including
EBS Master) can make to us and the purposes for which
distributions could be made. Accordingly, we may not be able to
pay dividends even if our board of directors would otherwise
deem it appropriate. See “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and
“Description of Capital Stock.” For the foregoing
reasons, you will not be able to rely on dividends on our
Class A common stock to receive a return on your investment.
Provisions
in our organizational documents may delay or prevent our
acquisition by a third party.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
by-laws will contain several provisions that may make it more
difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire control of
us without the approval of our board of directors. These
provisions also may delay, prevent or deter a merger,
acquisition, tender offer, proxy contest or other transaction
that might otherwise result in our stockholders receiving a
premium over the market price for their Class A common
stock. The provisions include, among others:
|
|
|
|
•
|
The 10 vote per share feature of our Class B common stock
and Class C common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
provisions relating to the number of directors on our board of
directors and the appointment of directors upon an increase in
the number of directors or vacancy on our board of directors;
|
|
|
•
|
provisions requiring a
662/3%
stockholder vote for the amendment of certain provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and for the adoption, amendment and
repeal of our by-laws;
|
|
|
•
|
provisions barring stockholders from calling a special meeting
of stockholders or requiring one to be called;
|
32
|
|
|
|
•
|
elimination of the right of our stockholders to act by written
consent; and
|
|
|
•
|
provisions that set forth advance notice procedures for
stockholders’ nominations of directors and proposals for
consideration at meetings of stockholders.
|
These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and by-laws could discourage potential takeover
attempts and reduce the price that investors might be willing to
pay for shares of our Class A common stock in the future
which could reduce the market price of our Class A common
stock. For more information, see “Description of Capital
Stock.”
The
stock price may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell
your shares at or above the offering price or at
all.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
Class A common stock, and an active trading market may not
develop or be sustained upon the completion of this offering.
The initial public offering price of the Class A common
stock offered hereby was determined through our negotiations
with the underwriters and may not be indicative of the market
price of the Class A common stock after this offering. The
market price of our Class A common stock after this
offering will be subject to significant fluctuations in response
to, among other factors, variations in our operating results,
research and reports that securities analysts publish about us
or our business and market conditions specific to our business.
Because
the initial public offering price per common share is
substantially higher than our book value per common share,
purchasers in this offering will immediately experience a
substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
Purchasers of our Class A common stock will experience
immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value
per share from the initial public offering price per share.
After giving effect to the reorganization transactions described
under “Organizational Structure,” the sale of
the shares
of Class A common stock offered hereby and after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us, and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom, our pro forma net tangible book value as of
June 30, 2008, would have been
$ million, or
$ per share of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock (assuming that the EBS
Post-IPO Members exchange all of their EBS Units (and
corresponding shares of Class C common stock or
Class D common stock) for shares of our Class A common
stock and Class B common stock, as applicable, on a
one-for-one basis). This represents an immediate dilution in net
tangible book value of $ per share
to new investors purchasing shares of our Class A common
stock in this offering. A calculation of the dilution purchasers
will incur is provided below under “Dilution.”
We
will incur increased costs as a result of being a public
company.
As a public company, we will incur significant levels of legal,
accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a
privately-owned corporation. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and related rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the
NYSE corporate governance practices for public companies, impose
significant requirements relating to disclosure controls and
procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We
expect that compliance with these public company requirements
will increase our costs, require additional resources and make
some activities more time consuming than they have been in the
past when we were privately-owned. We will be required to expend
considerable time and resources complying with public company
regulations.
Failure
to establish and maintain effective internal controls over
financial reporting could have an adverse effect on our
business, operating results and stock price.
Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is
important in helping to prevent financial fraud. To date, we
have not identified any material deficiencies related to our
internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls
and procedures, although we have not conducted an audit of our
controls. If we are unable to maintain adequate internal
controls, our business and operating results could be harmed. We
are also beginning to evaluate how to document and test our
internal
33
control procedures to satisfy the requirements of
Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and the related rules of the
Commission, which require, among other things, our management to
assess annually the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting and our independent registered public
accounting firm to issue a report on our internal control over
financial reporting beginning with our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2009. During the course of
this documentation and testing, we may identify deficiencies
that we may be unable to remedy before the requisite deadline
for those reports. Our auditors have not conducted an audit of
our internal control over financial reporting. Any failure to
remediate material deficiencies noted by us or our independent
registered public accounting firm or to implement required new
or improved controls or difficulties encountered in their
implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting
obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. If our management or our independent registered
public accounting firm were to conclude in their reports that
our internal control over financial reporting was not effective,
investors could lose confidence in our reported financial
information, and the trading price of our Class A common
stock could drop significantly. Failure to comply with
Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley could potentially subject us
to sanctions or investigations by the Commission, the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority or other regulatory authorities.

historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under
the circumstances. As you read and consider this prospectus, you
should understand that these statements are not guarantees of
performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe that these

Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”
and elsewhere in this prospectus. These risks could cause actual
results to differ materially from those implied by
forward-looking statements in this prospectus.
All information contained in this prospectus is materially
accurate and complete as of the date of this prospectus. You
should keep in mind, however, that any forward-looking statement
made by us in this prospectus, or elsewhere, speaks only as of
the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties come
up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict
these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements in this prospectus after
the date of this prospectus, except as required by federal
securities laws. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you
should keep in mind that any event described in a

ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE
Structure
Prior to the Reorganization Transactions
Prior to November 2006, our business was owned by HLTH. We
currently conduct our business through EBS Master and its
subsidiaries. EBS Master was formed by HLTH to act as a holding
company for the group of wholly-owned subsidiaries of HLTH that
comprised its Emdeon Business Services segment. In November
2006, we purchased a 52% interest in EBS Master from HLTH. Our
current stockholders consist of investment funds organized and
controlled by General Atlantic. In February 2008, HLTH sold its
remaining 48% interest in EBS Master to affiliates of General
Atlantic and H&F. As a result, prior to giving effect to
the reorganization transactions, EBS Master was owned 65.77% by
the General Atlantic Equityholders and 34.23% by the H&F
Equityholders.
Presently, EBS Master is authorized to issue 110 million
EBS Units. The 100 million outstanding EBS Units are owned
as follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
We own 52.0% of the outstanding EBS Units;
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Acquisition II LLC (“EBS Acquisition” and,
together with us, the “General Atlantic Unitholders”),
an entity whose members consist of investment funds organized
and controlled by General Atlantic, owns 13.77% of the
outstanding EBS Units;
|
|
|
•
|
HFCP VI Domestic AIV, L.P. (“HFCP Domestic”), an
investment fund organized and controlled by H&F, owns
22.35% of the outstanding EBS Units;
|
|
|
•
|
H&F Harrington AIV I, L.P. (“H&F
Harrington”), an entity whose partners consist of
investment funds organized and controlled by H&F, owns
11.77% of the outstanding EBS Units;
|
|
|
•
|
Hellman & Friedman Capital Executives VI, L.P.
(“H&F Capital Executives”), an investment fund
organized and controlled by H&F, owns 0.10% of the
outstanding EBS Units; and
|
|
|
•
|
Hellman & Friedman Capital Associates VI, L.P.
(“H&F Capital Associates” and, together with HFCP
Domestic, H&F Harrington and H&F Capital Executives,
the “H&F Unitholders”), an investment fund
organized and controlled by H&F, owns 0.01% of the
outstanding EBS Units.
|
In addition, participants in the Amended and Restated EBS
Executive Equity Incentive Plan (the “EBS Equity
Plan”) hold indirect interests in EBS Master in the form of
Grant A Units (the “Grant A Units”) and Grant B Units
(the “Grant B Units” and, together with the Grant A
Units, the “Grant Units”). The Grant Units were issued
directly to, and are currently held by, EBS Incentive Plan LLC
(“EBS Plan LLC”). Currently, 12 members of our senior
management, including our executive officers and the Chairman of
our board of directors, participate in the EBS Equity Plan
and hold direct interests in EBS Plan LLC. Each Grant Unit
represents an equity interest in EBS Master that entitles the
holder to a percentage of the profits and appreciation in the
equity value of EBS Master’s principal operating subsidiary
arising after the date of grant. Generally, the Grant Units vest
ratably over a five year period from the date of grant.
We have also issued awards (the “EBS Phantom Awards”)
to certain of our employees under the Amended and Restated EBS
Incentive Plan (the “EBS Phantom Plan”). EBS Phantom
Awards represent the right to payments based on the appreciation
in the equity value of EBS Master since the date of grant.
Currently, 74 of our employees participate in the EBS Phantom
Plan, none of whom are participants in the EBS Equity Plan.
Generally, the EBS Phantom Awards vest over a period of
five years.
The
Reorganization Transactions
Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of
which this prospectus forms a part, we intend to commence an
internal restructuring, which we refer to in this prospectus as
the “reorganization transactions.”
We have not engaged in any business or other activities, except
in connection with our investment in EBS Master and the
reorganization transactions, and currently have no assets other
than our interest in EBS Master. Following this offering, EBS
Master and its subsidiaries will continue to operate the
historical business. This structure is being implemented because
certain of EBS Master’s current members desire that it
maintain its existing
37
tax treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and, therefore, will continue to hold their ownership
interests in EBS Master until such time in the future as they
may elect to exchange their EBS Units (and corresponding shares
of our Class C common stock or Class D common stock)
with us for shares of our Class A common stock or
Class B common stock, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis.
We are currently authorized to issue a single class of common
stock. In connection with the reorganization transactions, we
will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation and will
be authorized to issue four classes of common stock:
Class A common stock, Class B common stock,
Class C common stock and Class D common stock. The
Class A common stock and Class D common stock will
each provide holders with one vote on all matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders and the Class B common stock and
Class C common stock will each provide holders with 10
votes on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders;
however, the holders of Class C common stock and
Class D common stock will not have any of the economic
rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon
liquidation) provided to holders of Class A common stock or
Class B common stock. All shares of our common stock will
generally vote together, as a single class, on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of
which this prospectus forms a part:
|
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Master will undertake
a
for
unit split.
|
|
|
•
|
We will amend and restate our certificate of incorporation and
will reclassify the common stock held by our current
stockholders into an aggregate
of shares
of our Class B common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Acquisition will merge with a newly-formed subsidiary of
ours and the newly formed subsidiary will be the surviving
entity in the merger; EBS Acquisition’s current members,
all of whom are investment funds organized and controlled by
General Atlantic, will receive an aggregate
of shares
of our Class B common stock and we will hold, indirectly,
an additional 13.77% interest in EBS Master;
|
|
|
•
|
H&F Harrington will dissolve and distribute 1.06% of its
interests in EBS Master to Hellman & Friedman
Investors VI, L.P., its general partner (“H&F
GP”), and 98.94% of its interests in EBS Master to H&F
Harrington, Inc.; H&F Harrington, Inc. will then merge with
a newly-formed subsidiary of ours and the newly formed
subsidiary will be the surviving entity in the merger; H&F
Harrington, Inc.’s sole stockholder, H&F Harrington
AIV II, L.P. (“H&F AIV”), an investment fund
organized and controlled by H&F, will receive an aggregate
of shares
of our Class B common stock and we will hold, indirectly,
an additional 11.65% interest in EBS Master; and
|
|
|
•
|
Each of HFCP Domestic, H&F GP, H&F Capital Executives
and H&F Capital Associates will continue to hold an
aggregate
of
EBS Units (or 22.58% of the outstanding EBS Units prior to this
offering and the reorganization transactions) and will be issued
an aggregate
of shares
of our Class C common stock.
|
In addition, EBS Master will amend the EBS Master LLC limited
liability company agreement (the “EBS LLC Agreement”)
so that prior to the completion of this offering, the
accumulated appreciation in the value of the Grant Units since
the date of grant will be converted
into
EBS Units (assuming an initial public offering price
of
per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price
range set forth on the cover of this prospectus)). These EBS
Units will maintain the vesting schedule of the Grant Units. EBS
Plan LLC will then liquidate and the participants in the EBS
Equity Plan will receive their share of the vested and unvested
EBS Units held by EBS Plan LLC prior to liquidation. Each EBS
Equity Plan Member will also be issued a number of shares of our
Class D common stock equal to the number of EBS Units that
he or she receives in the liquidation.
In connection with the reorganization transactions, and in
accordance with the terms of the EBS Phantom Plan, the Board of
EBS Master also will cause the accumulated appreciation in the
value of vested EBS Phantom Awards since the date of grant to be
converted
into shares
of our Class A Common Stock (assuming an initial public
offering price
of
per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price
range set forth on the cover of this prospectus)). The
accumulated appreciation in the value of unvested EBS Phantom
Awards will be converted into unvested restricted stock unit
awards (“RSUs”) under the our 2008 Equity Plan, based
on the price of
38
the Class A common stock issued in this offering. The RSUs
will entitle the holder to receive shares of Class A Common
Stock upon vesting.
In addition, as a part of the reorganization transactions, we
expect to, among other things, amend and restate the Fourth
Amended and Restated EBS Master LLC limited liability company
agreement, enter into tax receivable agreements with the Tax
Receivable Entity and the EBS Equity Plan Members and enter into
the Stockholders Agreement. See “— Holding
Company Structure and Tax Receivable Agreements” and
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Effect of
the Reorganization Transactions and this Offering
Upon completion of the transactions described above, this
offering and the application of the net proceeds from this
offering:
|
|
|
|
•
|
We will be the sole managing member of EBS Master, will control
EBS Master, and will directly or indirectly hold EBS Units,
or % of the outstanding equity
interests in EBS Master ( % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). We
will consolidate the financial results of EBS Master and our net
income (loss) will be reduced by a minority interest expense to
reflect the entitlement of the EBS Post-IPO Members to a portion
of EBS Master’s net income (loss);
|
|
|
•
|
the General Atlantic Equityholders will hold an aggregate
of shares
of our Class B common stock
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full), representing % of the
combined voting power in us (or %
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full) and % of the economic
interest in us (or % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full);
|
|
|
•
|
the H&F Equityholders will hold an aggregate
of shares
of our Class B common stock
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full), an aggregate
of shares
of our Class C common stock
( shares
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full) and an aggregate
of
EBS Units, or % of the outstanding
equity interests in EBS Master ( %
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full), collectively representing %
of the combined voting power in us
(or % if the underwriters exercise
their over-allotment option in full)
and % of the economic interest in
us (or % if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full);
|
|
|
•
|
the EBS Equity Plan Members will hold an aggregate
of vested
and unvested EBS Units or % of the
outstanding equity interests in EBS Master
( % if the underwriters exercise
their over-allotment in full) and an aggregate
of shares
of our Class D common stock,
representing % of the combined
voting power in us (or % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full);
|
|
|
•
|
our public stockholders will collectively
hold shares
of our Class A common stock
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full), representing % of the
combined voting power in us (or %
if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in
full) and % of the economic
interest in us (or % if the
underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full);
|
|
|
•
|
the EBS Units held by the H&F Continuing LLC Members
(together with the corresponding shares of our Class C
common stock) may be exchanged for shares of our Class B
common stock on a one-for-one basis. The exchange of EBS Units
for shares of our Class B common stock will not affect
H&F’s aggregate voting power since the votes
represented by the exchanged shares of our Class C common
stock will be replaced with the votes represented by the shares
of Class B common stock for which EBS Units are
exchanged; and
|
|
|
•
|
any vested EBS Units held by the EBS Equity Plan Members
(together with the corresponding shares of our Class D
common stock) may be exchanged for shares of our Class A
common stock on a one-for-one basis. The exchange of EBS Units
for shares of our Class A common stock will not affect the
holder’s aggregate voting power since the votes represented
by the exchanged shares of our Class D common stock will be
|
39
|
|
|
|
|
replaced with the votes represented by the shares of
Class A common stock for which EBS Units are exchanged.
|
Subject to certain limited exceptions, immediately prior to the
transfer of a share of Class B common stock by one of our
Principal Equityholders, such share of Class B common stock
will automatically convert into a share of Class A common
stock. In addition, after the date on which all Class B
common stock and Class C common stock convert into shares
of Class A common stock and Class D common stock,
respectively, EBS Units held by the H&F Continuing LLC
Members (together with the corresponding shares of our
Class D common stock) may be exchanged for shares of our
Class A common stock.
Upon the consummation of this offering, we will use
$ million of net proceeds from the
sale of shares of Class A common stock sold by us in this
offering to
purchase EBS
Units from the H&F Continuing LLC Members, will use
approximately $ to pay fees and
expenses related to this offering and will invest the remaining
proceeds in EBS Master. EBS Master will then use such proceeds
as described under “Use of Proceeds.”
Holding
Company Structure and Tax Receivable Agreements
We are a holding company and, immediately after the consummation
of the reorganization transactions and this offering, our
principal asset will be our interest in EBS Master, which we
will hold directly and indirectly through two of our
subsidiaries. The number of EBS Units we will own, directly and
indirectly, at any time will equal the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and
Class B common stock. The economic interest represented by
each EBS Unit that we will own will correspond to one share of
our Class A common stock or Class B common stock, and
the total number of EBS Units owned directly or indirectly by us
and the holders of our Class C common stock and
Class D common stock at any given time will equal the sum
of outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock. Shares
of our Class C common stock and Class D common stock
cannot be transferred except in connection with an exchange of
an EBS Unit.
We do not intend to list our Class B common stock,
Class C common stock or Class D common stock on any
stock exchange.
We intend to enter into a tax receivable agreement with the Tax
Receivable Entity that will provide for the payment by us to it
of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in
U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax
that we actually realize in periods after this offering as a
result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the purchases by us and our subsidiaries of membership
interests in EBS Master, (b) exchanges by the H&F
Continuing LLC Members of EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class C common stock (or, after
the conversion date, Class D common stock)) for shares of
our Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) or (c) payments under the tax
receivable agreement to the Tax Receivable Entity; (ii) tax
benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as
a result of the tax receivable agreement; and (iii) net
operating loss carryovers from prior periods (or portions
thereof).
We will also enter into a tax receivable agreement with the EBS
Equity Plan Members which will provide for the payment by us to
the EBS Equity Plan Members of 85% of the amount of the cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or
franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after this
offering as a result of (i) any step-up in tax basis in EBS
Master’s assets resulting from (a) the exchanges by
the EBS Equity Plan Members of EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class D common stock) for shares of
our Class A common stock or (b) payments under this tax
receivable agreement to the EBS Equity Plan Members and (ii) tax
benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as
a result of this tax receivable agreement.
Although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the IRS
to challenge the tax basis increases or other benefits arising
under the tax receivable agreements, the Tax Receivable Entity
and the EBS Equity Plan Members will not reimburse us for any
payments previously made if such basis increases or other
benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess
payments made to the Tax Receivable Entity or the EBS Equity
Plan Members will be netted against payments otherwise to be
made, if any, after our determination of such excess. As a
result, in such circumstances we could make payments to the Tax
Receivable Entity or the EBS Equity Plan Members under the tax
receivable agreements that are greater than our actual cash tax
savings. See “Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions — Tax Receivable Agreements.”
40
As a member of EBS Master, we will incur U.S. federal,
state and local income taxes on our allocable share of any net
taxable income of EBS Master. As authorized by the EBS LLC
Agreement and to the extent permitted under our credit
agreements, we intend to cause EBS Master to continue to
distribute cash, generally, on a pro rata basis, to its members
(which after consummation of the reorganization transactions and
this offering will consist of us, our two subsidiaries, and the
EBS Post-IPO Members) at least to the extent necessary to
provide funds to pay the members’ tax liabilities, if any,
with respect to the taxable income of EBS Master. In addition,
to the extent permitted under our credit agreements, EBS Master
may make distributions to us without pro rata distributions to
any other member in order to pay (i) consideration, if any,
for redemption, repurchase, acquisition, cancellation or
termination of our Class A common stock or Class B
common stock and (ii) payments in respect of indebtedness,
preferred stock, the tax receivable agreements, operating
expenses, overhead and certain other fees and expenses. See
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions —
Fifth Amended and Restated EBS Master LLC Limited Liability
Company Agreement” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations — Liquidity and Capital
Resources — Credit Facilities.”
We will account for the reorganization transactions using a
carryover basis as the reorganization transactions are premised
on a non-substantive exchange in order to facilitate our initial
public offering. This is consistent with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical
Bulletin 85-5,
“Issues Relating to Accounting for Business
Combinations, including Costs of Closing Duplicate Facilities of
an Acquirer; Stock Transactions between Companies under Common
Control; Down-Stream Mergers, Identical Common Shares for a
Pooling of Interests; and Pooling of Interests by Mutual and
Cooperative Enterprises.” The management and governance
rights and economic interests that the General Atlantic
Equityholders and the H&F Equityholders held in EBS Master
before the reorganization transactions will not change as a
result of the reorganization transactions until the consummation
of this offering.
The obligations resulting from the tax receivable agreements
that will be entered into are expected to be offset in part by
the tax benefits that were transferred to us as a result of the
reorganization transactions. Although not assured, we expect
that the consideration that we will remit under the tax
receivable agreements will not exceed the tax liability that we
otherwise would have been required to pay absent the transfers
of tax attributes to us as a result of the reorganization
transactions and subsequent exchanges.
41
USE OF
PROCEEDS
We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be
approximately $ million (or
$ million if the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option in full), after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses of approximately
$ million, based on an
assumed initial offering price of
$ per share (the midpoint of the
estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus).
Based on an assumed initial offering price of
$ per share (the midpoint of the
estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus), we intend to use
$ of the proceeds from this
offering to
purchase EBS
Units held by the H&F Continuing LLC Members (or
$
and
EBS Units if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option in full) and will use any remaining proceeds for working
capital and general corporate purposes, which may include the
repayment of indebtedness and future acquisitions.
We have broad discretion as to the application of the proceeds
to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Prior to application, we may hold any net proceeds in cash or
invest them in short term securities or investments. You will
not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or
other information on which we base our decisions regarding the
use of these proceeds.
A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public
offering price of $ per share
would increase (decrease) the amount of proceeds to us from this
offering available to purchase EBS Units by
$ million and for working
capital and general corporate purposes by
$ million, assuming the
number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by us.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our
Class A common stock by the selling stockholders, including
any proceeds resulting from the underwriters’ exercise of
their option to purchase additional shares from the selling
stockholders.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to
finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do
not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.
Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon
then-existing conditions, including our financial condition and
results of operations, capital requirements, contractual
restrictions, including restrictions contained in our credit
agreements, business prospects and other factors that our board
of directors considers relevant.
42
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and
capitalization as of June 30, 2008 on an actual basis; on a
pro forma basis to reflect the estimated impact of the tax
receivable agreements and the conversion of the accumulated
appreciation in the value of the EBS Equity Plan Members’
Grant Units since the date of grant
into
EBS Units (assuming an initial public offering price
of per
share (the mid point of the estimated public offering price
range set forth on the cover of this prospectus) in the
reorganization transactions); and as further adjusted to reflect:
|
|
|
|
•
|
the sale
of shares
of our Class A common stock in this offering at an assumed
public offering price of $ , after
deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and
the estimated offering expenses, and
|
|
|
•
|
the application of the net proceeds of this offering as
described under “Use of Proceeds.”

value made in conjunction with the 2008 Transaction. Also, under
the revolving portion of our first lien credit agreement we may
borrow up to $50 million. As of June 30, 2008, there
were approximately $5.8 million of outstanding but undrawn
letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility and
we had the ability to borrow an additional $44.2 million.

DILUTION
If you invest in our Class A common stock, you will
experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the
initial public offering price per share of our Class A
common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share
of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock
after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per
share offering price of the Class A common stock is
substantially in excess of the book value per share attributable
to the shares of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock held by existing equity holders.
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2008
was approximately $ million,
or $ per share of our Class A
common stock and Class B common stock. Pro forma net
tangible book value represents the amount of total tangible
assets less total liabilities and pro forma net tangible book
value per share represents pro forma net tangible book value
divided by the number of shares of Class A common stock
outstanding, in each case, after giving effect to (i) the
reorganization transactions described under “Organization
Structure,” (ii) the 2008 Transaction, (iii) the
conversion of Grant Units held by the EBS Equity Plan Members
into EBS Units in the reorganization transactions and
(iv) the estimated impact of the tax receivable agreements
assuming that the EBS Post-IPO Members exchange all of their EBS
Units (and corresponding shares of our Class C common stock
or Class D common stock) for newly-issued shares of our
Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as
applicable, on a one-for-one basis.
After giving effect to the sale
of shares
of Class A common stock in this offering at the assumed
initial public offering price of $
per share (the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this
prospectus) and the application of the net proceeds from this
offering, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value
would have been $ million, or
$ per share. This represents an
immediate increase in net tangible book value (or a decrease in
net tangible book deficit) of $
per share to existing equityholders and an immediate dilution in
net tangible book value of $ per
share to new investors.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution:

|

|
|
|

|
|
Dilution is determined by subtracting pro forma net tangible
book value per share of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock after the offering from the initial
public offering price per share of Class A common stock.
A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public
offering price of $ per share,
would increase (decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value
after this offering by $ and the
dilution per share to new investors by
$ , in each case assuming the
number of shares offered, as set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us.

The following table summarizes, on the same pro forma basis as
of June 30, 2008, the total number of shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock
purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid to us and
the average price per share paid by the existing equityholders
and by new investors purchasing shares in this offering,
assuming that all EBS Units (and corresponding shares of our
Class C common stock and Class D common stock) held by
the EBS Post-IPO Members have been exchanged for shares of our
Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as

acquisition of certain tax assets in connection with this
offering and the reorganization transactions and the creation of
related liabilities in connection with entering into the tax
receivable agreements and (ii) the conversion of the
accumulated appreciation in the value of the EBS Equity Plan
Members’ Grant Units since the date of grant into EBS Units
(assuming an initial public offering price range
of
per share (the midpoint of the estimated public offering price
range set forth on the cover of this prospectus)) in the
reorganization transactions as if they had occurred on
June 30, 2008. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
statements of operations data for the year ended
December 31, 2007 and the six months ended June 30,
2008 give effect to the
step-up in
the value of certain assets as a result of the 2008 Transaction
as if the 2008 Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2007.
The presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial
information is prepared in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared
by our management and is based on our historical financial
statements and the assumptions and adjustments described herein
and in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial
information below.
Our historical financial information for the year ended
December 31, 2007 has been derived from our audited

included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our historical financial
information as of and for the six months ended June 30,
2008 has been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus.
We based the pro forma adjustments on available information and
on assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. See “— Notes to Unaudited Pro
Forma Financial Information” for a discussion of
assumptions made. The unaudited pro forma financial information
is presented for informational purposes and is based on
management’s estimates. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations do not purport to

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Basis of
Presentation
In February 2008, HLTH sold its remaining 48% interest in EBS
Master to affiliates of General Atlantic and H&F for
$575 million. The affiliates of General Atlantic and
H&F were deemed to be a collaborative group under EITF
Topic
No. D-97,
Push Down Accounting, and the 48% step up in the basis of
the net assets of EBS Master recorded at the General Atlantic
and H&F acquiror level was pushed down to our financial
statements in accordance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 54, Application of
“Pushdown” Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements
of Subsidiaries Acquired by Purchase and replaces the
historical basis held by HLTH.
Transaction costs of $3.4 million were incurred in
connection with this transaction. The total 2008 Transaction
price was allocated as follows (in millions):

Adjustments
|
|
|
(1) |
|
The amounts in this column represent our actual results for the
periods reflected. |
|
(2) |
|
Reflects adjustments to give effect to the tax receivable
agreements (as described in “Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions — Tax Receivable
Agreements”) based on the following assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
•
|
we will record an increase in deferred tax assets for estimated
income tax effects of the increase in the tax basis of the
purchased interests, based on an effective income tax rate
of % (which includes a provision
for U.S. federal, state
and/or local
taxes);
|
|
|
•
|
we will record 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an
increase to the liability due under tax receivable agreements
and the remaining 15% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as
an increase to total shareholders’ equity;
|
|
|
•
|
payments under the tax receivable agreements will give rise to
additional tax benefits and therefore to additional potential
payments under the tax receivable agreements, which are
reflected in the calculation of the deferred tax assets; and
|
|
|
•
|
that there are no material changes in the relevant tax law and
that we earn sufficient taxable income in each year to realize
the full tax benefit of the amortization of our assets.
|
|
|
|
(3) |
|
Reflects adjustments to give effect to the reclassification of
other long term liabilities into minority interest as a result
of the conversion of the accumulated appreciation in the value
of Grant Units held by the Equity Plan Members
into
EBS Units in the reorganization transactions. |

Emdeon

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
(continued)
|
|
|
(4) |
|
The amounts in this column represent the pro forma adjustments
made to reflect the 2008 Transaction as if it occurred on
January 1, 2007 as follows: |
|
|
|
(a) |
|
Reflects an adjustment to reduce deferred revenue on
January 1, 2007 in connection with the 2008 Transaction.
The impact of this adjustment was to reduce revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2007, and to increase revenue for the
six month period ended June 30, 2008. |
|
(b) |
|
Reflects an adjustment to reduce our rent expense as a result of
reducing our liability established for escalating lease payments
in connection with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 13, Accounting for Leases, in connection with
the 2008 Transaction. Rent expense will not be offset by the
amortization of the liability, and therefore, will be higher for
the indicated periods. |
|
(c) |
|
Reflects an adjustment for additional depreciation and
amortization arising due to the step-up in 48% of our certain
identifiable intangible and technology assets to fair value as
of the date of the 2008 Transaction. |
|
(d) |
|
Reflects an adjustment to record 48% of our debt at fair value
in connection with the 2008 Transaction. The adjustment resulted
in a discount on our debt of $66.4 million that is being
amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the
debt. In addition, 48% of our debt issuance costs were written
off in connection with the 2008 Transaction, which resulted in a
reduction of the related amortization for the period. |
|
(e) |
|
Reflects an adjustment for additional income taxes due to the
proforma adjustments presented in notes a-d above applying
statutory tax rates for the applicable periods. |
|
(f) |
|
Reflects an adjustment in minority interest (22.58%) related to
net income for January 1, 2008 through February 8,
2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. |

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The historical consolidated financial data discussed below
reflect our historical results of operations and financial
condition for periods on and after November 16, 2006. The
historical consolidated financial data discussed below for
periods prior to November 16, 2006, reflect the historical
results of operations and financial condition of the group of
subsidiaries of HLTH that comprised its Emdeon Business Services
segment. For periods on and after November 16, 2006, the
historical consolidated financial data gives effect to the
reorganization transactions described under “Organizational
Structure” as if they occurred on November 16, 2006.
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with
“Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our and
Emdeon Business Services’ respective consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus. Some of the statements in the following discussion
are forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking
Statements.”
Overview
We are a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle
management solutions, connecting payers, providers and patients
in the U.S. healthcare system. Our product and service
offerings integrate and automate key business and administrative
functions of our payer and provider customers throughout the
patient encounter, including pre-care patient eligibility and
benefits verification, claims management and adjudication,
payment distribution, payment posting and denial management and
patient billing and payment. Our customers are able to improve
efficiency, reduce costs, increase cash flow and more
efficiently manage the complex revenue and payment cycle process
by using our comprehensive suite of products and services.
We deliver our solutions and operate our business in three
business segments: (i) payer services, which provides
services to commercial insurance companies, third party
administrators and governmental payers; (ii) provider
services, which provides services to hospitals, physicians,
dentists and other healthcare providers, such as labs and home
healthcare providers; and (iii) pharmacy services, which
provides services to pharmacies, pharmacy benefit management
companies and other payers. Through our payer services segment,
we provide payment cycle solutions, both directly and through
our channel partners, that simplify the administration of
healthcare related to insurance eligibility and benefit
verification, claims filing and claims and payment distribution.
Through our provider services segment, we provide revenue cycle
management solutions and patient billing and payment services,
both directly and through our channel partners, that simplify
providers’ revenue cycle, reduce related costs and improve
cash flow. Through our pharmacy services segment, we provide
solutions to pharmacies and pharmacy benefit management
companies related to prescription benefit claim filing,
adjudication and management.
There are a number of company-specific initiatives and industry
trends that may affect our transaction volumes, revenues, cost
of operations and margins. As part of our strategy, we encourage
our customers to migrate from paper-based claim, patient
statement, payment and other transaction processing to
electronic, automated processing in order to improve efficiency.
Our business is aligned with our customers to support this
transition, and as they migrate from
paper-based
transaction processing to electronic processing, even though our
revenues generally will decline, our margins and profitability
will typically increase. For example, because the cost of
postage is included in our revenues for patient statement and
payment distribution services (which is then also deducted as a
cost of operations), when our customers transition to electronic
processing, our revenues and costs of operations decrease as we
will no longer incur or be required to charge for postage. In
addition, as our payer customers migrate to MGAs with us, our
electronic transaction volume usually increases but the per
transaction rate we charge under these agreements is typically
reduced. We also expect to continue to be affected by pricing
pressure in our industry, which has led (and is expected to
continue to lead) to reduced prices for the same services. We
have sought in the past and will continue to seek to mitigate
pricing pressure by (i) providing additional value-added
products and services, (ii) increasing the volume of
services we provide and (iii) managing our costs.

Corporate
History
Our predecessors have been in the healthcare information
solutions business for approximately 25 years. We have
grown both organically and through targeted acquisitions in
order to offer the full range of products and services required
to automate the patient encounter administration process.
In September 2000, Envoy Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, ExpressBill, Inc., became part of our business.
Envoy was a leading provider of claim transaction processing
services to commercial payers and had an extensive network of
healthcare providers and relationships with healthcare
information system vendors. ExpressBill provided patient billing
services, which involved the printing and mailing of customized
patient statements, or bills, from healthcare providers to
patients. The Envoy business today comprises the core of our
claims management and submission operations, while the
ExpressBill business comprises the core of our patient statement
and billing operations.
In the third quarter of 2003, we acquired Advanced Business
Fulfillment, Inc. (“ABF”), a distributor of payments
and remittance advice from payers to providers and explanation
of benefit information to patients. The ABF business today
comprises the core of our payment distribution operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2003, we acquired MediFax EDI, Inc.
MediFax provided insurance eligibility and benefit verification
solutions between providers and governmental payers. The MediFax
business today comprises the core of our provider revenue cycle
management operations.
In the second quarter of 2004, we acquired Dakota Imaging Inc.,
a provider of paper claim imaging and scanning services for
payers. By combining Dakota’s paper conversion processing
capabilities with our existing electronic and print delivery
capabilities, we were able to offer payers a single solution for
processing both paper and electronic inbound claims.
Prior to November 2006, our business was owned by HLTH. We
currently conduct our business through EBS Master and its
subsidiaries. EBS Master was formed as a holding company for the
group of wholly-owned subsidiaries of HLTH that comprised its
Emdeon Business Services segment. In November 2006, we purchased
a 52% interest in EBS Master from HLTH. In February 2008, HLTH
sold its remaining 48% interest in EBS Master to affiliates of
General Atlantic and H&F. As a result, prior to giving
effect to the reorganization transactions, EBS Master was owned
65.77% by the General Atlantic Equityholders, and 34.23% by
H&F Equityholders.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, we acquired IXT Solutions, Inc.
(“IXT”), a provider of both paper-based and electronic
patient statement and billing services. By combining IXT’s
electronic patient statement and billing capabilities with our
existing patient statement and billing operations, we enhanced
our patient statement and billing offerings to healthcare
providers.
Our
Revenues and Expenses
We generate revenues by providing products and services that
automate and simplify business and administrative functions for
payers and providers, generally on either a per transaction, per
document, per communications basis or, in some cases, on a flat
fee basis. We generally charge a one-time implementation fee to
payers and providers at the inception of a contract in
conjunction with related setup and connection to our network and
other systems. In addition, we receive software license fees and
software and hardware maintenance fees, primarily from payers
who license our systems for converting paper claims into
electronic ones.
Cost of operations consists primarily of costs related to
products and services we provide to customers and costs
associated with the operation and maintenance of our networks.
These costs include (i) postage (which is also a component of
our revenue) and materials costs related to our patient
statement and billing and payment distribution services, (ii)
rebates paid to our channel partners, including healthcare
information system vendors and electronic medical record vendors
and (iii) data and telecommunications costs, all of which
generally vary with our revenues. Cost of operations also
includes (i) personnel costs associated with production, network
operations,
55
customer support and other personnel, (ii) facilities expenses
and (iii) equipment maintenance, which vary less directly with
our revenue due to the fixed or semi-fixed nature of these
expenses.
The largest component of our cost of operations is currently
postage (which is also a component of our revenue). Our postage
costs increase as our patient statement and payment distribution
volumes increase and also when the U.S. Postal Service
increases postal rates, which has occurred each year from 2006
to 2008 and is expected to occur in the future. Rebates are paid
to channel partners for electronic and other volumes delivered
through our network to certain payers and can be impacted by the
number of MGAs we execute with payers, the success of our direct
sales efforts for provider revenue cycle management products and
services and the extent to which direct connections to payers
are developed by certain channel partners. We have been able to
reduce our data communications expense over the last several
years, due to efficiency measures and contract pricing changes.
Our material costs, related primarily to our patient statement
and payment distribution volumes, have increased over the last
few years because of inflation and general commodity price
increases.
Development and engineering expense consists primarily of
personnel costs related to the development, management and
maintenance of our current and future products and services. We
plan to invest more in this area in the future as we develop new
products and enhance existing products.
Sales, marketing, general and administrative expense (excluding
corporate expense described in the next paragraph) consists
primarily of personnel costs associated with our sales, account
management, marketing functions and management and
administrative services related to the operations of our
business segments.
Our corporate expense relates to personnel costs associated with
management, administrative, finance, human resources, legal and
other corporate service functions, as well as professional
services, certain facilities costs, advertising and promotion,
insurance and other expenses related to our overall business
operations. The amount of our corporate expenses increased
significantly in 2007 as we transitioned from a segment of HLTH
to a stand-alone company. We expect to incur additional costs in
this area related to becoming a public company, including
additional director and officer insurance, outside director
compensation, employment of additional personnel and
Sarbanes-Oxley and other compliance costs.
Our development and engineering expense, sales, marketing,
general and administrative expense and our corporate expense,
while related to our current operations, are also affected and
influenced by our future plans (including the development of new
products and services), business strategies and enhancement and
maintenance of our infrastructure.
Significant
Items Affecting Comparability
Certain significant items or events should be considered to
better understand differences in our results of operations from
period to period. We believe that the following items or events
have had a significant impact on our results of operations for
the periods discussed below or may have a significant impact on
our results of operations in future periods:
Corporate
Allocation Charge and Subsequent Standalone Costs
Prior to the consummation of the 2006 Transaction, we were a
segment of HLTH and HLTH provided us with certain management and
administrative support services. For those services, HLTH
charged us a corporate services fee based on an allocation of
the costs they incurred. Conversely, during the same period, we
provided certain corporate technology support services to HLTH
and its other operating segments. The corporate services fee
charged by HLTH to us was offset by the costs we incurred in
providing these corporate technology support services. For the
period from January 1 to November 15, 2006, the
corporate services fee HLTH charged us amounted to
$7.5 million, after reduction for the $7.0 million of
corporate technology support costs we incurred during that
period. For 2005, the corporate services fee HLTH charged us was
$7.3 million, after reduction for the $9.1 million of
corporate technology support costs we incurred during that
period.
56
We separated from HLTH in November 2006 and transitioned to a
stand-alone company. During this transition, we replicated the
functions that HLTH previously provided to us and have been
incurring and will continue to incur the costs of those
functions. Subsequent to the 2006 Transaction through various
periods during 2007, HLTH provided us with certain services to
facilitate our transition to a stand-alone company and we
continued to provide certain technology support services to
HLTH. The net cost of the services HLTH provided to us in 2007
under this arrangement was $1.8 million.
Efficiency
Measures
We evaluate and implement initiatives on an ongoing basis to
improve our financial and operating performance through cost
savings, productivity improvements and other efficiency
measures. Since late 2006, we have initiated numerous measures
to streamline our operations through innovation, integration and
consolidation. For instance, we are consolidating our data
centers, consolidating our networks and outsourcing certain
information technology and operations functions. The
implementation of these measures often involve upfront costs
related to severance, professional fees and/or contractor costs,
with the cost savings or other improvements not realized until
the measures are completed.
Long-Term
Debt
In connection with the 2006 Transaction, we borrowed an
aggregate of $925.0 million under our credit agreements and
entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to reduce
the risks associated with the variable rate of interest we are
charged under our credit agreements. In connection with this
financing, we capitalized a total of $20.1 million of loan
costs. The incurrence of debt under our credit agreements
resulted in interest expense of $10.2 million in the period
from November 16 through December 31, 2006,
$74.9 million in 2007 and $29.0 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. Included in this interest
expense is amortization expense of $0.3 million in the
period from November 16 through December 31, 2006,
$3.0 million in 2007 and $0.9 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. Prior to November 2006, we were
wholly-owned by HLTH and, therefore, our financial statements
and results of operations did not reflect long-term indebtedness
or similar arrangements.
Purchase
Accounting
In connection with the 2006 Transaction and the 2008
Transaction, purchase accounting adjustments were reflected in
our financial statements to account appropriately for these
business combinations. These adjustments included the following
items and their impact:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Recognition of the fair value of our identifiable intangible
assets. The increased value of these intangibles
resulted in increased amortization expense subsequent to these
transactions of $3.6 million in the period from
November 16 through December 31, 2006,
$28.0 million in 2007 and $26.8 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008.
|
|
|
•
|
Reduction to fair value of our deferred revenue related to
outstanding products and services to be provided subsequent to
the 2006 Transaction and the 2008 Transaction. In
connection with the 2006 Transaction, we reduced our deferred
revenue by $5.2 million and, in connection with the 2008
Transaction, we reduced our deferred revenue by
$5.6 million. These adjustments, in effect, reduced the
revenue and income from operations that would otherwise have
been recognized by $0.8 million in the period from November
16 to December 31, 2006, $3.4 million in 2007, $3.3
million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 (including
$3.0 million from the 2008 Transaction) and
$2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
|
|
|
•
|
Reduction in the carrying value of our long-term debt to fair
value in connection with the 2008 Transaction. The debt
discount recorded increased interest expense by
$4.5 million in the six month period ended June 30,
2008. As a result of the 2008 Transaction, our interest rate
swap no longer met the criteria for hedge accounting and thus
the value of the interest rate swap at that date is being
amortized over its term to interest
|
57
|
|
|
|
|
expense. This amortization increased interest expense by
$4.7 million during the six month period ended
June 30, 2008. As a result, the change in our interest rate
swap since the 2008 Transaction has been charged to
interest expense. The resulting charge reduced interest expense
by $13.7 million during the six month period ended
June 30, 2008.
|
Stock-Based
and Equity-Based Compensation Expense
We incurred stock-based and equity-based compensation expense
during 2005, 2006, 2007 and the six months ended June 30,
2008 associated with stock options and restricted awards from
HLTH and equity grants pursuant to the EBS Equity Plan.
Total stock-based compensation expense incurred for 2005, the
period from January 1 through November 15, 2006, the
period from November 16 through December 31, 2006 and
2007 was $0.3 million, $6.1 million, $0.3 million
and $2.1 million, respectively. Total equity-based
compensation expense of $4.5 million and $4.7 million
was incurred for 2007 and the six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively.
In connection with the reorganization transactions, the vested
EBS Phantom Awards held by certain of our employees will be
converted
into shares
of our Class A common stock. As a result of this conversion, we
expect to recognize compensation expense of between
$ and
$ in the quarter during which this
offering is completed.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates and
assumptions on the best information available to us at the time
the estimates and assumptions are made, on historical experience
and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and
assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies include
areas that require a significant amount of judgment and
estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
We generate revenues by providing products and services that
automate and simplify business and administrative functions for
payers and providers, generally on either a per transaction, per
document, per communication basis or, in some cases, on a flat
fee basis. We generally charge a one-time implementation fee to
payers and providers at the inception of a contract in
conjunction with related setup and connection to our network and
other systems. In addition, we receive software license fees and
software and hardware maintenance fees from payers who license
our systems for converting paper claims into electronic claims
and, occasionally, sell additional software and hardware
products.
Revenue for transaction services, patient statement and payment
distribution are recognized as the services are provided.
Postage fees related to the Company’s payment distribution
and patient statement volumes are recorded on a gross basis in
accordance with EITF 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs. Implementation and software license
and software maintenance fees are amortized to revenue on a
straight-line basis over the contract period, which generally
varies from one to three years. Software and hardware sales are
recognized once all elements are delivered and customer
acceptance is received.
Cash receipts or billings in advance of revenue recognition are
recorded as deferred revenues on our consolidated balance sheets.
58
We exclude sales and use tax from revenue in our consolidated
statements of operations.
Software
Development Costs
We account for internal use software development costs in
accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”)
No. 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use
(“SOP 98-1”).
Software development costs that are incurred in the preliminary
project stage are expensed as incurred. Once certain criteria of
SOP 98-1
have been met, direct costs incurred in developing or obtaining
computer software are capitalized. Training and data conversion
costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are
included in property and equipment within our consolidated
balance sheets and are amortized over a three-year period.
Business
Combinations
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations (“SFAS 141”), we allocate the
purchase price of an acquired business to its identifiable
assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The
excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the
identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as
goodwill. The purchase price allocation methodology requires us
to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair
value of acquired assets and liabilities. We estimate the fair
value of assets and liabilities based on the appraised market
values, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely
accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows
and market multiple analyses. We adjust the purchase price
allocation, as necessary, up to one year after the acquisition
closing date as we obtain more information regarding assets
valuations and liabilities assumed. Unanticipated events or
circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our
fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry
economic factors and business strategies, and result in an
impairment or a new allocation of purchase price.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets from our acquisitions are
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets generally as follows:
|
|
|
Customer relationships
|
|
10 to 20 years
|
Trade names
|
|
7 years
|
Non-compete agreements
|
|
1 to 5 years
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), we review the
carrying value of goodwill annually and whenever indicators of
impairment are present. With respect to goodwill, we determine
whether potential impairment losses are present by comparing the
carrying value of our reporting units to the fair value of our
reporting units, using an income approach valuation. Our
reporting units are determined in accordance with SFAS 142,
which defines a reporting unit as an operating segment or one
level below an operating segment. If the fair value of the
reporting unit is less than the net assets of the reporting
unit, then a hypothetical purchase price allocation is used to
determine the amount of goodwill impairment.
Income
Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires
us to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect of
differences between book and tax bases of our assets and
liabilities.
Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses
and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for
59
income tax purposes. Realization of the future tax benefits
related to deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors,
including our past earnings history, expected future earnings,
the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled
circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved would adversely
affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and
carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially
enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.
We recognize uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return.
Equity-Based
Compensation
Compensation expense related to our equity-based awards is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period
under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share based payment
using the modified prospective method. The fair value of equity
awards is determined by utilizing an independent third-party
valuation using a Black-Scholes model and assumptions as to
expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends, and the
risk free rate. Certain equity-based awards are classified as
liabilities due to the related repurchase features. We remeasure
the fair value of these awards at each reporting date. These
awards are included in other long-term liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets.

Our financial results prior to
November 16, 2006 represent the financial results of the
group of subsidiaries of HLTH that comprised its Emdeon Business
Services segment. On November 16, 2006, HLTH sold a 52%
interest in EBS Master (which was formed as a holding
|
61
|
|
|
|
|
company for our business in
connection with that transaction) to an affiliate of General
Atlantic. Accordingly, the financial information presented
reflects the results of operations and financial condition of
Emdeon Business Services before the 2006 Transaction
(Predecessor) and of us after the 2006 Transaction (Successor).
|
(2)
|
|
All references to percentage of
revenues for expense components refer to the percentage of
revenues of such segment.
|
Our historical consolidated operating results do not reflect
(i) the
step-up in
the value of certain assets as a result of the 2008 Transaction
(other than for the six months ended June 30, 2008),
(ii) the creation of certain tax assets in connection with
this offering and the reorganization transactions and the
creation or acquisition of related liabilities in connection
with entering into the tax receivable agreements and
(iii) this offering and the application of the net proceeds
from this offering. As a result, our historical consolidated
operating results may not be indicative of what our results of
operations will be for future periods.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended
June 30, 2007
Revenues
Our total revenues increased $23.2 million, or 5.8%, to
$422.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $399.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This increase in total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 includes a $3.0 million
revenue reduction from a purchase accounting adjustment related
to the 2008 Transaction.
Our payer services segment revenues increased $2.3 million,
or 1.2%, to $184.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $182.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007. Claims management revenues
were $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 as compared to $96.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This $5.8 million, or 6.1%, decrease in
revenues was primarily driven by (i) reduced average transaction
rates from market pricing pressures and the execution of
additional MGAs and (ii) electronic batch claims transaction
volume declines related to the expiration of a significant
channel partner contract and conversion of a significant MGA to
a standard payer arrangement. This decrease in revenues was
offset partially by higher electronic transaction volumes.
Additionally, claims management revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was reduced by $1.0 million related to a
deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment associated with
the 2008 Transaction. Payer payment distribution services
revenues were $93.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $85.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. This $8.1 million, or
9.5%, increase was primarily driven by net new sales and
implementations and the impact of U.S. postage rate
increases in May 2008 and May 2007.
Our provider services segment revenues increased
$19.1 million, or 9.5%, to $220.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$200.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Patient statement revenues were $133.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$118.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
This $14.7 million, or 12.4%, increase in revenues was
primarily driven by $10.2 million of revenues associated
with the acquisition of IXT in December 2007, net new sales and
implementations and the impact of U.S. postage rate
increases in May 2008 and May 2007. Provider revenue cycle
management revenues were $70.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $67.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. This $2.8 million,
or 4.2%, increase was primarily driven by net new sales and
implementations, offset by attrition in legacy products and a
$2.0 million deferred revenue purchase accounting
adjustment associated with the 2008 Transaction. Dental revenues
were $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 as compared to $14.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007. This $1.6 million, or 11.2%,
increase in revenues was primarily driven by net new sales and
implementations.
Our pharmacy segment services revenues were $19.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
This $1.4 million, or 7.7%, increase was primarily driven
by net new sales and implementations.
Cost
of Operations
Our total cost of operations increased $17.8 million, or
7.0%, to $271.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $254.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007.
62
Our payer services segment cost of operations was
$122.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $119.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This $2.9 million, or 2.4%, increase
was primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs
resulting from higher payment distribution print volumes and
U.S. postage rate increases in May 2008 and 2007, as well
as increased external contractor and outsourcing costs
associated with our efficiency measures. These increases were
partially offset by reduced rebates paid to channel partners as
the result of a decrease in the number of electronic claims
processed through our channel partner relationships. Our payer
services segment’s cost of operations as a percentage of
revenue increased to 66.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 from 65.7% for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 due primarily to the impact of the May 2008
and May 2007 U.S. postage rate increases.
Our provider services segment cost of operations was
$145.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $132.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This $13.8 million, or 10.4%, increase
was primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs
due to higher patient statement volumes and U.S. postage
rate increases in May 2008 and 2007, as well as increased
external contractor and outsourcing costs associated with our
efficiency measures. These increases were partially offset by
reduced personnel costs related to the implementation of our
efficiency measures. Our provider services segment’s cost
of operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 66.3% for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 65.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to the impact of
the May 2008 and May 2007 U.S. postage rate increases.
Our pharmacy services segment cost of operations was
$4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. This $0.8 million, or 23.9%, increase
was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs to
support our business growth. Our pharmacy services
segment’s cost of operations as a percentage of revenue
increased to 21.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008
from 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 due
primarily to the increased personnel costs to support our
business growth.
Development
and Engineering Expense
Our total development and engineering expense increased
$1.4 million, or 12.4%, to $12.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our payer services segment development and engineering expense
increased $0.3 million, or 7.4%, to $4.2 million for

reflecting generally consistent levels of activity for both
periods.
Our provider services segment development and engineering
expense was $6.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $5.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. This $0.9 million, or
15.3%, increase was primarily attributable to increased provider
revenue cycle management product development activities.
Our pharmacy services segment development and engineering
expense was $1.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $1.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. This $0.2 million, or
14.4%, increase was primarily attributable to increased product
development activities in our pharmacy segment.
Sales,
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense (Excluding
Corporate Expense)
Our total sales, marketing, general and administrative expense
(excluding corporate expense) increased $0.8 million, or
2.8%, to $29.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $29.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007.
Our payer services segment sales, marketing, general and
administrative expense was $12.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $11.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. This $1.2 million,
or 10.3%, increase was primarily attributable to increased
compensation expense assigned to equity grants under the EBS
Equity Plan.
Our provider services segment sales, marketing, general and
administrative expense increased $0.3 million, or 1.9%, to
$15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, reflecting generally consistent levels of
activity for both periods.
63
Our pharmacy services segment sales, marketing, general and
administrative expense was $1.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. This $0.7 million,
or 28.4%, decrease was primarily attributable to reduced
personnel costs in our pharmacy sales department as a result of
our efficiency measures.
Corporate
Expense
Our corporate expense was $16.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $19.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2007. This $2.9 million,
or 14.7%, decrease was primarily attributable to lower
transition services fees paid to HLTH in connection with
services provided by HLTH to us since our separation, the
absence of certain incentive compensation expenses paid in
connection with the 2006 Transaction and an external consulting
fee related to an efficiency measure study incurred in 2007.
This decrease in corporate expense was partially offset by
increased personnel and other costs in the first half of 2008
associated with our transition to a stand-alone company and
increased compensation expense assigned to equity grants under
the EBS Equity Plan.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense was $46.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
This $16.0 million, or 52.8%, increase was primarily
attributable to additional depreciation and amortization expense
related to purchase accounting adjustments associated with the
2008 Transaction, as well as depreciation of property and
equipment assets placed in service after June 30, 2007.
Interest
Income
Our interest income was $0.6 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $0.7 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2007. This $0.2 million, or
21.1%, decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in
interest rates applicable to our cash balances maintained in our
bank accounts as compared to the prior year period.
Interest
Expense
Our interest expense was $29.0 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $38.1 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2007. This $9.0 million,
or 23.7%, decrease was primarily attributable to a
$13.7 million reduction from the change in fair value of
our interest rate swap, lower amounts of outstanding
indebtedness as a result of principal payments on our credit
agreements after June 30, 2007 and a decline in the
variable interest rates we were charged under our credit
agreements. These decreases were offset partially by purchase
accounting adjustments related to the 2008 Transaction for debt
discount and interest rate swap amortization of $4.5 million and
$4.7 million, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Our income tax expense was $7.6 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $9.7 million in six
months ended June 30, 2007. This $2.0 million, or
20.9%, decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in a
deferred tax valuation allowance in 2008 as compared to 2007.
Year
Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Period from
January 1, 2006 through November 15, 2006
(Predecessor) and the Period from November 16, 2006 through
December 31, 2006 (Successor)
Revenues
Our total revenues increased $57.4 million, or 7.6%, to
$808.5 million in 2007 as compared to $663.2 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$87.9 million in the period from November 16 to

Our payer services segment revenues were $366.7 million in
2007 as compared to $300.0 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $39.3 million
in the period from November 16, 2006 to December 31,
2006. Claims management revenues were $193.0 million in
2007 as compared to $165.5 million in the period from
64
January 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006 and
$21.6 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006. This $5.9 million, or 3.2%,
increase in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006 period was
primarily driven by higher electronic claims transaction
volumes, partially offset by (i) reduced average electronic
batch claims rates from market pricing pressures and the
execution of additional MGAs and (ii) lower software systems and
maintenance revenues. Payer payment distribution services
revenues were $173.7 million in 2007 as compared to
$134.5 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $17.7 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$21.5 million, or 14.1% increase, in 2007 as compared to
the combined 2006 period was primarily driven by net new sales
and implementations, as well as a U.S. postage rate
increase in May 2007.
Our provider services segment revenues were $408.4 million
in 2007 as compared to $336.2 million in the period from
January 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006 and
$44.9 million in the period from November 16, 2006 to
December 31, 2006. Patient statement revenues were
$242.9 million in 2007 as compared to $198.2 million
in the period from January 1, 2006 to November 15,
2006 and $27.2 million in the period from November 16
to December 31, 2006. This $17.5 million, or 7.8%,
increase in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006 period was
primarily driven by net new sales and implementations and a
U.S. postage rate increase in May 2007. Provider revenue
cycle management revenues were $136.7 million in 2007 as
compared to $114.3 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $14.6 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006.
This $7.8 million, or 6.0%, increase in 2007 as compared to
the combined 2006 period was primarily driven by net new sales
and implementations. Dental revenues were $28.9 million in
2007 as compared to $23.8 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $3.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006.
This $2.0 million, or 7.5%, increase in 2007 as compared to
the combined 2006 period was primarily driven by net new sales
and implementations.
Our pharmacy services segment revenues were $36.9 million
in 2007 as compared to $32.1 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $4.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006.
This $0.7 million, or 2.0%, increase in 2007 as compared to
the combined 2006 period was primarily driven by net new sales
and implementations.
Cost
of Operations
Our total cost of operations increased $35.6 million, or
7.4%, to $518.8 million in 2007 as compared to
$426.3 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $56.8 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006.
Our cost of operations for our payer services segment was
$244.6 million in 2007 as compared to $202.4 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$26.6 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006. This $15.6 million, or 6.8%,
increase in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006 period was
primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs due
to higher volumes and a U.S. postage rate increase in
May 2007, as well as severance and other costs related to
our efficiency measures. These increases were partially offset
by (i) reduced electronic transaction processing costs resulting
from efficiency measures and the full year impact in 2007 of a
2006 supplier contract renegotiation, (ii) other production
efficiencies, (iii) reduced personnel costs due to lower paper
to electronic claims volumes and (iv) lower compensation expense
in 2007 related to equity awards issued prior to the 2006
Transaction by HLTH. Our payer services segment’s cost of
operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 66.7% in 2007
from 67.5% in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and 67.7% in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 primarily due to the
impact of reduced electronic transaction unit costs and other
production efficiencies, offset partially by the impact of a May
2007 U.S. postage rate increase.
Our cost of operations for our provider services segment was
$269.8 million in 2007 as compared to $222.0 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$29.7 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006. This $18.1 million, or 7.2%,
increase in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006 period was
primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs
related to increased patient statement volumes and a
U.S. postage rate increase in May 2007, as well as
increased information technology support costs. This increase
was partially offset by (i) reduced electronic transaction
processing costs resulting from our efficiency measures and the
full year impact in 2007 of a 2006 supplier contract
renegotiation, (ii) other production
65
efficiencies and (iii) lower compensation expense related
to equity awards issued prior to the 2006 Transaction by HLTH.
Our provider services segment’s cost of operations as a
percentage of revenue was stable during both the 2007 and
combined 2006 periods as the impact of reduced electronic
transaction unit costs and other production efficiencies offset
the impact of a May 2007 U.S. postage rate increase.
Our cost of operations for our pharmacy services segment was
$6.8 million in 2007 as compared to $6.1 million in
the period from January 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006
and $0.8 million in the period from November 16, 2006
to December 31, 2006. This $0.1 million, or 1.5%,
decrease in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006 period
reflects generally consistent levels of activity during both
years.
Development
and Engineering Expense
Our total development and engineering expense increased
$1.6 million, or 7.3%, to $23.1 million in 2007 as
compared to $19.1 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $2.4 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006.

segment was $8.4 million in 2007 as compared to
$7.1 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $0.8 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$0.4 million, or 4.8%, increase in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period reflects generally consistent levels of
development and engineering activity during both years.
Our development and engineering expense for our provider
services segment was $11.6 million in 2007 as compared to
$9.3 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $1.2 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$1.1 million, or 10.3%, increase in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period was primarily attributable to increased
information technology support costs related to increased
provider revenue cycle management product development activity.
Our development and engineering expense for our pharmacy
services segment was $3.2 million in 2007 as compared to
$2.7 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $0.4 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$0.1 million, or 3.1%, increase in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period reflects generally consistent levels of
development and engineering activity during both years.
Sales,
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense (Excluding
Corporate Expense)
Our total sales, marketing, general and administrative expense
(excluding corporate expense) decreased $2.3 million, or
3.8%, to $57.5 million in 2007 as compared to
$52.6 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $7.1 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
payer services segment was $22.3 million in 2007 as
compared to $22.7 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $3.1 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$3.5 million, or 13.7%, decrease in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period was primarily attributable to reduced bad
debt expense and lower compensation expense related to equity
awards issued prior to the 2006 Transaction by HLTH.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
provider services segment was $31.3 million in 2007 as
compared to $26.5 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $3.7 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006. This
$1.1 million, or 3.8%, increase in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period reflects generally consistent levels of
activity during both years.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
pharmacy services segment was $4.9 million in 2007 as
compared to $4.2 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $0.5 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006. This $0.1, or
2.4%, million increase in 2007 as compared to the combined 2006
period reflects generally consistent levels of activity during
both years.
Corporate
Expense
Our corporate expense was $38.1 million in 2007 as compared
to $29.2 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $5.8 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. The
$3.1 million, or 8.9%, increase in 2007 as compared to the
combined 2006 period was primarily attributable to
(i) increased
66
marketing expense, (ii) an external consulting fee
associated with our efficiency measure study,
(iii) increased transition services fees paid to HLTH and
(iv) increased personnel, insurance, legal, equity
compensation and other costs related to our operations as a
stand-alone company following the 2006 Transaction. These
increases were partially offset by the absence of a corporate
allocation charge from HLTH during 2007 and the absence of
$4.2 million of costs incurred related to the 2006
Transaction.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense was $62.8 million
in 2007 as compared to $30.4 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $7.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006.
The $25.2 million, or 67.2%, increase in 2007 as compared
to the combined 2006 period was primarily attributable to the
amortization of increased intangible assets recognized in
connection with the 2006 Transaction and depreciation related to
additional property and equipment placed in service during 2007.
Interest
Income
Our interest income was $1.6 million in 2007 as compared to
$0.1 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $0.1 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. The
$1.4 million increase in 2007 as compared to the combined
2006 period was attributable to larger cash balances maintained
in our bank accounts during 2007. Prior to the 2006 Transaction,
the majority of our cash was maintained at the corporate level
of HLTH.
Interest
Expense
Our interest expense was $74.9 million in 2007 as compared
to $10.2 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006. Minimal interest expense was incurred in
the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006. This
$64.7 million increase in 2007 as compared to the combined
2006 period was attributable to long-term debt and related loan
costs associated with our credit agreements, which we entered
into at the time of the 2006 Transaction. Prior to the 2006
Transaction, we did not have significant long-term debt
obligations.
Income
Taxes
Our income tax expense was $18.9 million in 2007 as
compared to $42.0 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $1.3 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006. The
$24.5 million, or 56.5%, decrease in 2007 as compared to
the combined 2006 period was primarily attributable to lower
pre-tax income due to increased interest expense and
depreciation and amortization in 2007.
Period
from January 1, 2006 through November 15, 2006
(Predecessor) and the Period from November 16, 2006 through
December 31, 2006 (Successor) Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 2005
Revenues
Our total revenues increased $61.0 million, or 8.8%, to
$663.2 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $87.9 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$690.1 million in 2005.
Our payer services segment revenues were $300.0 million in
the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$39.3 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $317.0 million in
2005. Claims management revenues were $165.5 million in the
period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$21.6 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $183.0 million in
2005. This $4.1 million, or 2.2% increase in the combined
2006 period as compared to 2005 was primarily driven by higher
electronic transaction volumes and software systems revenue.
This increase was partially offset by reduced average electronic
batch claims rates from market pricing pressures and the
execution of additional MGAs, as well as lower paper to
electronic claims volumes. Payer payment distribution services
revenues were $134.5 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $17.7 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $134.1 million in 2005. This
$18.2 million, or 13.5%, increase in the combined 2006
period as
67
compared to 2005 was primarily driven by net new sales and
implementations, as well as the impact of a U.S. postage
rate increase in January 2006.
Our provider services segment revenues were $336.2 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$44.9 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $344.3 million in
2005. Patient statement revenues were $198.2 million in the
period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$27.2 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $198.1 million in
2005. The $27.3 million, or 13.8%, increase in the combined
2006 period as compared to 2005 was primarily driven by net new
sales and implementations and a U.S. postage rate increase
in January 2006. Provider revenue cycle management revenues were
$114.3 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $14.6 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$120.5 million in 2005. The $8.4 million, or 7.0%,
increase in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was
primarily driven by net new sales and implementations. Dental
revenues were $23.8 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $3.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $25.7 million in 2005. The $1.2 million,
or 4.5%, increase in the combined 2006 period as compared to
2007 was primarily driven by net new sales and implementations.
Our pharmacy services segment revenues were $32.1 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$4.1 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $36.0 million in
2005. The $0.2 million, or 0.6%, increase during the
combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was primarily driven by
net new sales and implementations, offset partially by lower
prescription rebate revenue.
Cost
of Operations
Our total cost of operations increased $34.1 million, or
7.6%, to $426.3 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $56.8 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$449.1 million in 2005.
Our cost of operations for our payer services segment was
$202.4 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $26.6 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$214.5 million in 2005. This $14.6 million, or 6.8%,
increase in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was
primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs due
to higher payment distribution volumes and a U.S. postage
rate increase in January 2006, as well as increased personnel
costs related to increased paper to electronic claims volumes
and compensation expense related to equity awards issued prior
to the 2006 Transaction by HLTH. This increase was partially
offset by reduced electronic transaction processing costs
resulting from a 2006 supplier contract renegotiation and other
production efficiencies. Our payer services segment’s cost
of operations as a percentage of revenue was stable during both
the combined 2006 and 2005 periods as the impact of reduced
electronic transaction unit costs and other production
efficiencies offset the impact of a January 2006
U.S. postage rate increase.
Our cost of operations for our provider services segment was
$222.0 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $29.7 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$232.1 million in 2005. This $19.6 million, or 8.5%,
increase in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was
primarily attributable to higher postage and materials costs
related to increased patient statement volumes and a
U.S. postage rate increase in January 2006, compensation
expense related to equity awards issued prior to the 2006
Transaction by HLTH and increased information technology support
costs. This increase was partially offset by reduced electronic
transaction processing costs resulting from a 2006 supplier
contract renegotiation and other production efficiencies. Our
provider services segment’s cost of operations as a
percentage of revenue decreased to 66.0% in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and 66.2% in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006 from 67.4% in
2005 as the impact of reduced electronic transaction unit costs
and other production efficiencies offset the impact of a January
2006 U.S. postage rate increase.
Our cost of operations for our pharmacy services segment was
$6.1 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $0.8 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$8.4 million in 2005. This $1.5 million, or 17.6%,
decrease in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was due
to reduced transaction processing costs as a result of several
2006 supplier contract renegotiations. Our pharmacy services
segment’s cost of operations as a percentage of revenue
decreased to 19.2% in the period from
68
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and 18.1% in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006 from 23.2% in
2005, primarily due to the impact of reduced electronic
transaction unit costs.
Development
and Engineering Expense
Our total development and engineering expense increased
$0.6 million, or 2.8%, to $19.1 million in the period
from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$2.4 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $21.0 million in 2005.
Our development and engineering expense for our payer services
segment was $7.1 million in the period from January 1
to November 15, 2006 and $0.8 million in the period
from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$8.9 million in 2005. The $0.9 million, or 10.0%,
decrease in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was
primarily attributable to reduced personnel costs and a lower
level of development activities in 2006.
Our development and engineering expense for our provider
services segment was $9.3 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $1.2 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $8.9 million in 2005. The $1.6 million, or
17.9%, increase in the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005
was primarily attributable to increased information technology
support costs related to new product development and product
integration activity.
Our development and engineering expense for our pharmacy
services segment was $2.7 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $0.4 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $3.2 million in 2005, reflecting generally
consistent levels of activity during the combined 2006 period
and 2005.
Sales,
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense (Excluding
Corporate Expense)
Our total sales, marketing, general and administrative expense
(excluding corporate expense) decreased $1.3 million, or
2.1%, to $52.6 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $7.1 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$61.0 million in 2005.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
payer services segment was $22.7 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $3.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $27.7 million in 2005. The $1.9 million,
or 6.7%, decrease in the combined 2006 period as compared to
2005 was primarily attributable to reduced personnel costs in
2006 from the reduction of management personnel from prior
acquisitions, partially offset by compensation expense related
to equity awards issued prior to the 2006 Transaction by HLTH.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
provider services segment was $26.5 million in the period
from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$3.7 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $29.3 million in
2005, reflecting generally consistent levels of activity during
the combined 2006 period and 2005.
Our sales, marketing, general and administrative expense for our
pharmacy services segment was $4.2 million in the period
from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$0.5 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $5.3 million in 2005.
The $0.5 million, or 10.3%, decrease in the combined 2006
period as compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to lower
bad debt expense, offset partially by increased personnel costs.
Corporate
Expense
Our corporate expense was $29.2 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $5.8 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $29.8 million in 2005. The $5.2 million,
or 17.4%, increase during the combined 2006 period as compared
to 2005 was primarily attributable to $4.2 million of costs
related to the 2006 Transaction, increased transition services
fees paid to HLTH and equity compensation and other costs
related to our operations as a stand-alone company following the
2006 Transaction. These increases
69
were partially offset by reduced personnel costs resulting from
open management positions, external consulting fees and
marketing costs.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense was $30.4 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$7.1 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006 as compared to $32.3 million in
2005. The $5.3 million, or 16.4%, increase during the
combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was primarily
attributable to the amortization of increased intangible assets
which were recognized in connection with the 2006 Transaction
and depreciation related to additional property and equipment
placed in service during 2006.
Interest
Income
Our interest income was $0.1 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $0.1 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $0.1 million in 2005, reflecting generally
consistent levels of cash balances during the combined 2006
period and 2005.
Interest
Expense
Our interest expense was $10.2 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 as compared to
$0.1 million in 2005. Minimal interest was incurred in the
period from January 1 to November 15, 2006. The
$10.1 million increase during the combined 2006 period as
compared to 2005 was attributable to long-term debt and related
loan costs associated with our credit agreements, which we
entered into at the time of the 2006 Transaction. Prior to the
2006 Transaction, we did not have significant long-term debt
obligations.
Income
Taxes
Our income tax expense was $42.0 million in the period from
January 1 to November 15, 2006 and $1.3 million
in the period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 as
compared to $31.5 million in 2005. The $11.8 million,
or 37.5%, increase during the combined 2006 period as compared
to 2005 was primarily attributable to increased pre-tax income
in 2006 as compared to 2005, as well as a reduction in 2005
income taxes from the resolution of a tax contingency.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General
We are a holding company with no material business operations.
Our principal asset is the equity interests we own in EBS
Master. We conduct all of our business operations through the
direct and indirect subsidiaries of EBS Master. Accordingly, our
only material sources of cash are dividends or other
distributions or payments that are derived from earnings and
cash flow generated by the subsidiaries of EBS Master.
We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided
by operating activities, private sales of EBS Units to the
Principal Equityholders and borrowings under our credit
agreements. These sources of financing have been our principal
sources of liquidity to date. We intend to use our proceeds from
this offering for working capital and general corporate
purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness and to
fund future acquisitions. We believe that our existing cash on
hand, the net proceeds from this offering, cash generated from
operating activities and available borrowings under our
revolving credit agreement ($44.2 million as of
June 30, 2008) will be sufficient to satisfy our currently
anticipated cash requirements at least through the next
12 months, which include debt service requirements under
our credit agreements and potential payments under the tax
receivable agreements.
As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$63.6 million as compared to $29.6 million as of
December 31, 2007 and $29.3 million as of
December 31, 2006.
70
Cash
Flows
Operating
Activities
Cash provided by operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was $46.1 million as compared to
$32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
This $13.8 million increase was primarily driven by our
business growth.
Cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31,
2007 was $95.1 million as compared to $125.4 million
in the period from January 1 to November 15, 2006 and
$20.8 million in the period from November 16 to
December 31, 2006. The $51.1 million decrease in cash
provided by operations during 2007 as compared to the combined
2006 period is primarily attributable to
(i) $62.9 million of additional interest expense paid
in 2007 under our credit agreements, which agreements were not
in place prior to the 2006 Transaction, (ii) repayment in
2007 to HLTH of amounts paid by them on our behalf during 2006
and (iii) costs incurred in 2007 related to our separation
from HLTH, offset partially by increased cash from business
growth.
Cash provided by operations was $127.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005. The $19.2 million increase
for the combined 2006 period as compared to 2005 was primarily
attributable to increased cash from business growth and payments
of certain expenses by HLTH on our behalf prior to the 2006
Transaction, offset partially by $9.2 million interest
expense paid during 2006.
Investing
Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was $587.3 million as compared to
$30.5 million during the six months ended June 30,
2007. Excluding payments related to the 2008 Transaction
and 2006 Transaction of $578.4 million and
$10.7 million, respectively, cash used in investing
activities was $8.9 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $19.8 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2007. This $10.9 million
decrease is primarily attributable to higher capital
expenditures in the first half of 2007 related to our efficiency
measures.
Cash used in investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2007 was $50.2 million as compared to
$1,217.0 million in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 and $45.2 million in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006. Excluding payments
related to the 2006 Transaction of $10.7 million and
$1,214.3 million, respectively, cash used in investing
activities was $39.5 million in 2007 as compared to
$47.8 million in the combined 2006 period. This
$8.3 million decrease in 2007 as compared to the combined
2006 period was primarily attributable to a reduction in amounts
paid for acquisitions during 2007 as compared to 2006.
Investment activity during 2007 principally related to the
$11.3 million paid for the acquisition of IXT and capital
expenditures of $28.2 million. Investment activity in 2006
included acquisition payments of $22.5 million, primarily the
final earn-out payment related to the 2003 ABF acquisition, and
capital expenditures of $25.3 million.
Cash used in investing activities was $71.6 million for
2005. Excluding acquisition payments related to the 2006
Transaction of $1,214.3 million in 2006, the
$23.9 million decrease as compared to 2005 was primarily
attributable to a reduction in the amount of earn-out payments
made related to the 2003 ABF acquisition in the combined 2006
period.
Financing
Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was $575.1 million as compared to
$25.9 million used during the six months ended
June 30, 2007. Excluding items related to the 2008
Transaction of $578.9 million in 2007, cash used in
financing activities was $3.8 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2008. This $22.1 million decrease in
cash used in financing activities during the first half of 2008
as compared to the first half of 2007 was primarily attributable
to the absence of optional debt prepayments being made under our
first lien credit facility during the first half of 2008 as
compared to $15.0 million of such payments in the 2007
period, as well as the repayment to HLTH during the first half
of 2007 of a $10.0 million cash advance from HLTH made in
connection with the 2006 Transaction.
71
Cash used in financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2007 was $44.7 million as compared to
$1,225.4 million provided in the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006 and
$76.5 million used in the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006. Excluding capital contributions and debt
proceeds associated with the 2006 Transaction of
$1,225.4 million, cash used in financing activities in the
combined 2006 period was $76.5 million. This
$31.8 million decrease in 2007 as compared to the combined
2006 period was primarily attributable to the difference between
the optional debt prepayments made under our first lien credit
facility during 2007 and the net cash paid to HLTH during 2006
prior the 2006 Transaction.
Cash used in financing activities was $57.2 million in
2005. Excluding capital contributions and debt proceeds
associated with the 2006 Transaction of $1,225.4 million,
the $19.3 million increase for the combined 2006 period as
compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to business growth
during the 2006 combined period and the resulting larger cash
payments made to HLTH prior to the 2006 Transaction.
Credit
Facilities
In November 2006, our subsidiary, Emdeon Business Services LLC,
entered into the first lien credit agreement, which we refer to
as the “First Lien Credit Agreement,” and the second
lien credit agreement, which we refer to as the “Second
Lien Credit Agreement.” Together, we refer to the First
Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement as
the “Credit Agreements.” The First Lien Credit
Agreement provided us $805.0 million of total available
financing, consisting of a secured $755.0 million term loan
facility and a secured $50.0 million revolving credit
facility. The revolving credit facility provides for the
issuance of standby letters of credit, in an aggregate face
amount at any time not in excess of $12.0 million. In
addition, under the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement,
under certain circumstances we can borrow up to an additional
$200.0 million in incremental term loans and increase the
available capacity under the revolving credit facility by
$25.0 million, provided that the aggregate amount of such
increases may not exceed $200.0 million. The revolving
First Lien Credit Agreement credit facility matures in November
2012 and the term loan matures in November 2013.
Borrowings outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement
amounted to $713.7 million as of June 30, 2008, and
currently bear interest, at our option, at either an adjusted
LIBOR rate plus 2.00% or the lenders’ alternate base rate
plus 1.00%, or a combination of the two. The applicable rate for
borrowings under our revolving credit facility varies depending
on our total leverage ratio.
We are required to make quarterly principal payments of
approximately $1.8 million on the First Lien Credit
Agreement term loan facility through 2013. We are also required
to pay a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, provided that our
total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.0:1, and
otherwise 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion of the
revolving credit facility. We are permitted to prepay the
revolving credit facility or the term loan under the First Lien
Credit Agreement at any time and, under certain circumstances,
are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the First Lien
Credit Agreement with proceeds we receive from certain asset
sales or from certain incurrences of debt.
Our Second Lien Credit Agreement is a term loan facility with an
aggregate principal amount of $170.0 million, which was the
amount outstanding as of June 30, 2008. This term loan
matures in May 2014. Borrowings outstanding under the Second
Lien Credit Agreement currently bear interest, at our option, at
either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 5.00% or the lenders’
alternate base rate plus 4.00%, or a combination of the two. We
are required to make quarterly interest payments. Although we
are permitted to prepay the loans under our Second Lien Credit
Agreement at any time, the terms of our First Lien Credit
Agreement restrict our ability to make such prepayments.
As of June 30, 2008, total borrowings outstanding under the
Credit Agreements amounted to $883.7 million (before debt
discount to fair value recorded in conjunction with the 2008
Transaction). Under our $50.0 million revolving credit
facility, net of $5.8 million of outstanding but undrawn
letters of credit issued, we had $44.2 million in available
borrowing capacity.
In connection with the 2008 Transaction, our long-term debt was
adjusted to fair value, which resulted in the recording of a
debt discount of $66.4 million with $61.9 million
unamortized as of June 30, 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the effective
interest rate of our borrowings under our Credit Agreements was
approximately 7.3%.
72
The obligations of Emdeon Business Services LLC under the Credit
Agreements are unconditionally guaranteed by EBS Master and all
of its subsidiaries and are secured by liens on substantially
all of EBS Master’s assets, including the stock of its
subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreements contain covenants that may restrict the
operation of our business, including our ability to incur
additional debt, create liens, make investments or capital
expenditures, engage in asset sales, enter into transactions
with affiliates, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and
enter into certain hedging arrangements. In addition, our Credit
Agreements restrict the ability of EBS Master and its
subsidiaries to make dividends or other distributions to us,
issue equity interests, repurchase equity interests or certain
indebtedness or enter into mergers or consolidations. The Credit
Agreements contain certain financial covenants, including the
following:
|
|
|
|
•
|
a maximum total leverage ratio, which requires that our ratio of
consolidated indebtedness less excess cash to our consolidated
EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters not
exceed certain thresholds. The maximum total leverage ratio is
tested on a quarterly basis.
|
|
|
•
|
a minimum interest coverage ratio, which requires that our ratio
of consolidated EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense for
the most recently completed four fiscal quarters not be less
than certain thresholds. The minimum interest coverage ratio is
tested on a quarterly basis.
|
As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the
financial and other covenants under the Credit Agreements.
Events of default under the Credit Agreements include
non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when
due; violation of certain covenants; failure of any
representation or warranty to be true in all material respects
when made or deemed made; cross-default and cross-acceleration
to certain indebtedness; certain ERISA events; dissolution,
insolvency and bankruptcy events; and actual or asserted
invalidity of the guarantees or security documents. In addition,
a “Change of Control” (as such term is defined in the
Credit Agreements) is an event of default under the Credit
Agreements. A “Change of Control” will occur, among
other things, if we fail to own at least 55% of the ownership
interests in EBS Master or General Atlantic or its affiliates
fail to control us. Some of these events of default allow for
grace periods and materiality qualifiers.

Expected interest under our Credit Agreements is based on our
interest rates as of June 30, 2008 and includes the
interest impact from our interest rate swap agreement. Because
the rates are variable, actual payments could differ materially.
Our other principal commitments consist of obligations under
operating leases for office space and equipment. See the Notes
to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in
this prospectus for additional information related to our
operating leases and other commitments.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, we had no
off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, other than as may
be related to the letters of credit and interest rate swap
agreements previously described and surety bonds of an
insignificant amount.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under
the Credit Agreements. Term loan borrowings under the First Lien
Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either an
adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.00% or the lenders’ alternate
base rate plus 1.00%, or a combination of the two, and
borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest,
at our option, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 5.00% or
the lenders’ alternate base rate plus 4.00%, or a
combination of the two. As of June 30, 2008, we had
outstanding borrowings of $713.7 million under the First
Lien Credit Agreement and $170.0 million under the Second
Lien Credit Agreement. If our interest rates increased by 1.0%,
our annual interest expense on our current borrowings would
increase by approximately $2.3 million, as of June 30,
2008, considering the hedging impact of our interest rate swap
agreement.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Business
Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R)
expands the definition of a business and a business combination
and generally requires the acquiring entity to recognize all of
the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, regardless
of the percentage ownership acquired, at their fair values. It
also requires that contingent consideration and certain acquired
contingencies be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date
and that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred.
SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact,
if any, that SFAS 141(R) will have on our results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.
Fair
Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value
Measurement (“SFAS 157”), which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities,
including a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
information used to develop fair value assumptions.
SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosure about the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value,
the information used to measure fair value and the effect of
fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies
whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the
use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not
have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.
Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159
permits many financial instruments and certain other items to be
measured at fair value at their option. Most of the provisions
in SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with
available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option
established by SFAS 159 permits the choice to measure
eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (i) may
be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such
as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
(ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs);
and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to
portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for
financial statements issued for first fiscal year beginning
after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did
not have a material impact on our financial position or results
of operations.
74
Consolidated
Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51
(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting
Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements (“ARB 51”) to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. Additionally, SFAS 160
changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented
by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts
that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
noncontrolling interest.
SFAS 160 requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent’s owners and the
interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary,
including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances
of the equity attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling
owners and a schedule showing the effects of changes in a
parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary on the equity
attributable to the parent. SFAS 160 does not change
ARB 51’s provisions related to consolidation purposes
or consolidation policy, or the requirement that a parent
consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial
interest. SFAS 160 does, however, amend certain of
ARB 51’s consolidation procedures to make them
consistent with the requirements of SFAS 141(R), as well as
to provide definitions for certain terms and to clarify some
terminology. In addition to the amendments to ARB 51,
SFAS 160 amends SFAS 128, Earnings per Share,
so that the calculation of earnings per share amounts in
consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on
amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS 160 must be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it
is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which must be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented. We have not yet evaluated the impact that
SFAS 160 will have on our results of operations or
financial position.
Disclosures
About Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands
the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and about
hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial
statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s
financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives
and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures
about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative
instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent
features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 does not change
accounting for derivative instruments and is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. Upon adoption, we will
include additional disclosures in our financial statements
regarding derivative instruments and hedging activity.
75
BUSINESS
Overview
We are a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle
management solutions, connecting payers, providers and patients
in the U.S. healthcare system. Our product and service
offerings integrate and automate key business and administrative
functions of our payer and provider customers throughout the
patient encounter, including pre-care patient eligibility and
benefits verification, claims management and adjudication,
payment distribution, payment posting and denial management and
patient billing and payment collection. Through the use of our
comprehensive suite of products and services, our customers are
able to improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase cash flow and
more efficiently manage the complex revenue and payment cycle
process. In 2007, we generated revenues from continuing
operations of $808.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of
$182.8 million, net income of $16.0 million and cash
flow provided by operations of $95.1 million.
Our services are delivered primarily through recurring,
transaction-based processes that leverage our revenue and
payment cycle network, the single largest financial and
administrative information exchange in the U.S. healthcare
system. In 2007, we processed a total of 3.7 billion
healthcare-related transactions, including approximately one out
of every two commercial healthcare claims delivered
electronically in the United States. We have developed our
network of payers and providers over 25 years and connect
virtually all private and government payers, claim-submitting
providers and pharmacies making it extremely difficult,
expensive and time-consuming for competitors to replicate our
market position. Compared to many of our competitors, who lack
the breadth and scale of our network and who often must rely on
our connectivity to provide some or all of their own services,
we are uniquely positioned to facilitate seamless and timely
interaction among payers and providers. Further, with the cost
pressures and capital allocation decisions our customers face
today, many payers and providers are reluctant to invest the
time or money into supporting additional vendor connectivity
and, as a result, have chosen to consolidate their business
activities with us. Our network and related products and
services are designed to easily integrate with our
customers’ existing technology infrastructures and
administrative workflow and typically require minimal capital
expenditure on the part of the customer, while generating
significant savings and operating efficiencies.
We generate greater than 90% of our revenues from products and
services where we believe we have a leading market position. Our
solutions are critical to the day-to-day operations of our payer
and provider customers as our solutions drive consistent
automated workflows and information exchanges that support key
financial and administrative processes. Our market leadership is
demonstrated by the long tenure of our payer and provider
relationships, which for our 50 largest customers in 2007
average 11 years. We are the exclusive provider of certain
electronic eligibility and benefits verification
and/or
claims management services under MGAs for more than 300 payer
customers (approximately 25% of all U.S. payers).
Similarly, we are the sole provider of certain payment and
remittance advice distribution services for over 600 of our
payer customers (approximately 50% of all U.S. payers).
These exclusive relationships provide us with a significant
opportunity to expand the scope of our product and service
offerings with these customers.
Our ubiquitous, independent platform facilitates alignment with
both our payer and provider customers, thereby creating a
significant opportunity for us to increase penetration of our
existing solutions and drive the adoption of new solutions.
Recently, we have significantly increased the number of products
and services utilized by our existing customers through
cross-selling. In addition to increasing penetration of our
existing solutions, we have created a culture of innovation to
develop and market new solutions that allow us to deepen our
customer relationships. Because we serve as a central point of
communication and data aggregation for our customers, our
network captures the most comprehensive and timely sources of
U.S. healthcare information. Unlike many other data
sources, our network provides us with access to data generated
at or close to the point of care. Our access to vast amounts of
healthcare data positions us to develop business intelligence
solutions that provide our customers with valuable information,
reporting capabilities and related data analytics to support our
customers’ core business decision making. For example,
because we often process all of an individual payer’s
claims and capture data from that payer’s entire spectrum
of providers, we are capable of developing customized solutions
for our payer customers that can enable more timely and relevant
information management tools relating to their inpatient,
outpatient, dental and pharmacy data.
76
Our business continues to benefit from several healthcare
industry trends that increase the overall number of healthcare
transactions and the complexity of the reimbursement process. We
believe that payers and providers will increasingly seek
solutions that utilize technology and outsourced process
expertise to automate and simplify the administrative and
clinical processes of healthcare to enhance their profitability,
while minimizing errors and reducing costs. Our mission-critical
products and services enable the healthcare system to operate
more efficiently and help to mitigate the continuing trend of
cost escalation across the industry. We stand to benefit from
the major secular trends affecting the broader healthcare sector
as a result of our position at the nexus of all key healthcare
constituent groups.
Our
Industry
Payer &
Provider Landscape
Healthcare expenditures are a large and growing component of the
U.S. economy, representing $2.1 trillion in 2006, or 16% of
GDP, and are expected to grow at 6.7% per year to $4.3 trillion,
or 20% of GDP, in 2017. The cost of healthcare administration in
the U.S. is estimated to be $360 billion in 2008, or
17% of total healthcare expenditures, $150 billion of which
is spent by payers and providers on billing and insurance
administration-related activities.
Healthcare is generally provided through a fragmented industry
of providers that have, in many cases, historically
under-invested
in administrative and clinical solutions. Within this universe
of providers, there are currently over 5,700 hospitals and over
560,000 office-based doctors. Approximately 60% of the
office-based doctors are in small physician practices consisting
of ten or fewer physicians and have fewer resources to devote to
administrative and financial matters compared to larger
practices. In addition, providers can maintain relationships
with 50 or more individual payers, many of which have customized
claim formats and reimbursement procedures. The administrative
portion of healthcare costs for providers is expected to
continue to expand due in part to the increasing complexity in
the reimbursement process and the greater administrative burden
being placed on providers for reporting and documentation
relating to the care they provide. These factors are compounded
by the fact that many providers lack the technological
infrastructure and human resources to bill, collect and obtain
full reimbursement for their services, and instead rely on
inefficient, labor-intensive processes to perform these
functions. As a result, we believe payers and providers will
continue to seek solutions that automate and simplify the
administrative and clinical processes of healthcare. We benefit
from this trend given our expansive suite of administrative
product and service offerings.
Payment for healthcare services generally occurs through complex
and frequently changing reimbursement mechanisms involving
multiple parties. The proliferation of private-payer benefit
plan designs and government mandates (such as HIPAA format and
data content standards) continue to increase the complexity of
the reimbursement process. For example, preferred provider
organizations (“PPOs”), health maintenance
organizations (“HMOs”), point of service plans
(“POSs”) and high-deductible health plans
(“HDHPs”) now cover 97% of employer-sponsored health
insurance beneficiaries and are more complex than traditional
indemnity plans which covered 73% of beneficiaries in 1988.
Despite significant consolidation among private payers in recent
years, claims systems have often not been sufficiently
integrated, resulting in persistently high costs associated with
administering these plans. Government payers also continue to
introduce more complex rules to align payments with the
appropriate care provided, including the expansion of Medicare
diagnosis-related group codes and the implementation of the
Recovery Audit Contractor demonstration program, both of which
have increased administrative burdens on providers by requiring
more detailed classification of patients and care provided in
order to receive associated Medicare reimbursement. Further, due
to an increasing number of drug prescriptions authorized by
providers and an industry-wide shortage of pharmacists,
pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers must increasingly be
able to efficiently process transactions in order to maximize
their productivity and better control prescription drug costs.
Most payers, providers and many independent pharmacies are not
equipped to handle this increased complexity and the associated
administrative challenges themselves.
Increases in patient financial responsibility for healthcare
expenses have put additional pressure on providers to collect
payments at the patient point of care since approximately 60% of
healthcare expenses not collected from individuals at the time
of care are estimated to become bad debt for a typical provider.
Several market trends have contributed to this growing bad debt
problem, including the shift towards HDHP and consumer-oriented
plans, which grew by 1.3 million enrollees, or 41%, in 2007
over 2006, higher deductibles and co-payments for privately
insured
77
individuals and the increasing ranks of the uninsured
(47.0 million or 15.8% of the U.S. population in
2006). Our solutions equip providers to significantly improve
collection at the point of care.
The
Revenue and Payment Cycle
The healthcare revenue and payment cycle consists of all the
processes and efforts that providers undertake to ensure they
are compensated properly by payers for the medical services
rendered to patients. These processes begin with the collection
of relevant eligibility and demographic information about the
patient before care is provided and end with the collection of
payment from payers and patients. Providers are required to send
invoices, or claims, to a large number of different payers,
including government agencies, managed care companies and
private individuals in order to be reimbursed for the care they
provide.
Payers and providers spend approximately $150 billion
annually on these revenue and payment cycle activities. Major
steps in this process include:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Pre-Care/Medical Treatment: The provider
verifies insurance benefits available to the patient, ensures
treatment will adhere to medical necessity guidelines and
confirms patient personal financial and demographic information.
In addition, in order to receive reimbursement for the care they
provide, providers are often required by payers to obtain
pre-authorizations before patient procedures or in advance of
referring patients to specialists for care. The provider treats
the patient and documents procedures conducted and resources
used.
|
|
|
•
|
Claim Management/Adjudication: The provider
prepares and submits paper or electronic claims to a payer for
services rendered directly or through a clearinghouse, such as
ours. Before submission, claims are validated for payer-specific
rules and corrected as necessary. The payer verifies accuracy,
completeness and appropriateness of the claim and calculates
payment based on the patient’s health plan design, out of
pocket payments relative to established deductibles and the
existing contract between the payer and provider.
|
|
|
•
|
Payment Distribution: The payer sends payment
and a payment explanation (i.e., remittance advice) to
the provider and sends an EOB to the patient.
|
|
|
•
|
Payment Posting/Denial Management: The
provider posts payments internally, reconciles payments with
accounts receivable and submits any claims to secondary insurers
if secondary coverage exists. The provider is responsible for
evaluating denial/underpayment of a claim and re-submitting it
to the payer if appropriate.
|
|
|
•
|
Patient Billing and Payment: The provider
sends a bill to the patient for any remaining balance and posts
payments received.
|
Our
Market Opportunity and Solutions
Limited financial resources have historically resulted in
under-investment by providers in their internal administrative
and clinical information systems. According to a report by the
American Hospital Association, in 2006, over 50% of providers
characterized their deployment of healthcare information
technology as “low” or “getting started,”
with only 16% reporting a “high” level of deployment.
Providers’ administrative and financial processes have
historically been manual and paper-based. These manual and
paper-based processes are more prone to human error and
administrative inefficiencies, often resulting in increased
costs and uncompensated care. According to a recent CAQH study,
providers may reduce labor costs associated with verifying
insurance coverage by as much as 50% by moving from
labor-intensive verification methods, such as fax or phone
verification, to automated processes.
At the same time, payers are continually exploring new ways to
increase administrative efficiencies in order to drive greater
profitability due in part to their general inability to increase
premiums in excess of the growth in medical costs. For example,
beginning in 2004, many payers consolidated their claim
management vendors in an effort to reduce their claims
submission costs. Many of our existing MGAs with our payer
customers were established because of our ability to offer them
a single-vendor solution for certain of their eligibility and
benefit verification and claims management processes.
78
As described below, opportunities exist to increase efficiencies
and cash flow throughout many steps of the revenue and payment
cycle for both payers and providers.
PAYER
OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS
|
|
|
Pre-Care and Claim Management/Adjudication
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. In many cases, insurance
eligibility and benefits verification, pre-authorizations and
referrals are granted by payers over the phone, necessitating
human interaction and manual verification of the validity of
such eligibility benefits, referrals and pre-authorizations.
Based on our experience, we estimate that it costs payers in the
range of $1.50 to $3.50 for simple eligibility verification to
$8.00 to $10.00 for complex referrals per provider telephone
call.
|
|
Our Solution. Our web-based pre-care solutions interface directly with the payer’s own systems allowing providers to process insurance eligibility and benefits verification tasks prior to the delivery of care without the need for live payer/provider interaction. As a result, we estimate that payers are able to save $2.00 on average per eligibility verification task when compared
to manual processes.
|
|
|
|
According to a 2006 American Health Insurance Plans
(“AHIP”) survey, 25% of healthcare claims are still
submitted to payers in paper format. Paper claims are both more
costly for providers to submit and more costly for payers to
process than electronic claims. In 2007, the average cost of
processing a “clean” electronic claim (i.e., a
claim for which no additional information is needed) by a payer
was 85 cents, nearly half the $1.58 cost of processing a
“clean” paper claim. Furthermore, according to AHIP,
the cost of manually adjudicating a claim that requires further
review costs $2.05, or almost two and half times the cost of a
clean, electronic claim.
|
|
Our claim submission solutions include paper-to-EDI conversion
of insurance claims through high-volume imaging, batch and
real-time healthcare transaction information exchanges and
intelligent routing between payers and our other business
partners. We also validate payer adjudication rules and edit
claims for proper format before submission to minimize manual
processes associated with pending claims. Our electronic
solutions lead to higher auto adjudication rates and fewer
delayed claims, which result in lower processing costs for
payers and accelerated reimbursement for providers.
|
|
|
|
Payment Distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. Generally, payers use
in-house print and mail operations or outsource payment,
remittance advices and EOB distribution to a print and mail
vendor. Converting these processes to electronic format allows
payers to eliminate the distribution costs associated with
printing and mailing these documents. Limited connectivity,
HIPAA standards, limited data and connectivity standardization
and lack of provider readiness have historically been the
primary barriers to the adoption of electronic solutions.
Industry research shows that the average cost of mailing a check
and remittance advice ranges from 50 cents to $1.50 per item as
opposed to electronic payment and distribution of remittance
advice, which costs on average 35 cents per item. Further, as
payers transition from paper to electronic processes and
utilization of existing print and mail infrastructure drops, we
believe these internal infrastructures will become prohibitively
expensive for payers to maintain.
|
|
Our Solution. Our payment and remittance
distribution solutions facilitate the paper and electronic
distribution of payments and payment related information by
payers to providers, including EOBs to patients. We are
uniquely positioned to provide detailed remittance information
in an electronic format that allows for the elimination of
paper. Our payer customers realize significant print and
operational cost savings through the use of either electronic
payment and remittance products or our high-volume
“co-operative” print and mail solutions to reduce
postage and material costs. In addition, we offer electronic
solutions that integrate with our print and mail platform to
drive the conversion to electronic payment and remittance. We
expect to see transition from paper based processes to
electronic processes over time because of the substantial cost
savings available to payers by adopting electronic payment,
remittance advice and EOB distribution.

PROVIDER
OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS
|
|
|
Pre-Care
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. Failure to verify
insurance eligibility and benefits represents the single
greatest source of reimbursement denials for providers.
Solutions that help providers assess a patient’s insurance
coverage and financial position and gain a better understanding
of a patient’s likelihood to pay before healthcare services
are provided help to mitigate uncompensated care and bad debt
expense. In particular, increasing adoption of HDHP and
consumer-oriented plans has shifted additional financial
responsibility for healthcare expenses to patients. In 2006,
uncompensated care and bad debt expense amounted to in excess of
$60 billion according to McKinsey & Company.
|
|
Our Solution. Our patient eligibility and
verification solutions assist our provider customers in
determining a patient’s current health benefits levels and
also integrating other information to help determine a
patient’s ability to pay, as well as the likelihood of
charity care reimbursement. These solutions help to mitigate a
provider’s exposure to bad debt expense by providing
clarity into a patient’s insurance coverage, ultimate
out-of-pocket responsibility and ability to pay.
|
|
|
|
Claim Management/Adjudication
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. Currently, 75% of
healthcare insurance claims are submitted electronically
according to a 2006 Health Insurance Association of America
(“HIAA”) study. Frost & Sullivan estimates
indicate that paper claims cost providers between $8 and $15 per
claim to prepare and submit as opposed to electronic, automated
solutions that can reduce the total administrative cost to
between $2 to $3 per claim. In addition, providers’
manual, paper-based claim submission systems often result in
inaccurate or incomplete claims due to the complexity and
changing reimbursement requirements and benefit plan designs
associated with private insurance plans (such as PPOs, HMOs and
HDHP plans) and government-funded programs. According to the PNC
Financial Services Group Inc., over one-fifth of all claims
submitted by providers contain errors that delay reimbursement.
|
|
Our Solution. Our claims management solutions
can be delivered to a provider via our web-based direct
solutions or through our network of channel partners. In either
case, our claim management solutions leverage our industry
leading payer connectivity to deliver consistent and reliable
access to virtually every payer in the United States. Our
solutions streamline reimbursement by providing (i) tools
to improve provider workflow, (ii) tools to edit submitted
claims to identify errors that delay reimbursement and
(iii) robust reporting to providers in order to reduce
claim rejections and denials.
|
|
|
|
Payment Posting/Denial Management
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. It is time-consuming and
difficult for providers to verify whether or not they have been
underpaid because (i) currently 90% of all payments by private
payers are distributed on paper, (ii) cash payments and
remittance information to providers are often sent separately,
(iii) codes that identify payment adjustments are inconsistent
or incomplete and (iv) the reimbursement terms and formulas in
the contracts providers negotiate with payers are often complex.
Over 50% of all claims denied by payers are not resubmitted to
payers even though nearly two-thirds of denied claims could have
been resubmitted for additional reimbursement.
|
|
Our Solution. Our web-based denial management
solutions allow providers to analyze remittance advice or
payment data and reconcile it with the originally submitted
claim to determine whether proper reimbursement has been
received. This solution allows providers to efficiently appeal
denials and resubmit claims in a timely manner, provides insight
into patterns of denials and enables the establishment of
procedures that can reduce the number of inaccurate claims
submitted in the future. Our payment posting solution automates
the paper-intensive payment reconciliation and manual posting
process, which saves providers time and improves accuracy.
|
80
|
|
|
Patient Billing and Payment
|
|
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity. Because patient bills are
traditionally mailed after patient care is provided and after
payment is received from a third-party insurer, there is
substantial delay between the date of service and final billing,
resulting in a greater likelihood that patients will not pay
their bill. As patients increasingly bear greater
responsibility for insurance payments, bad debt is likely to
increase over time and more timely billing of patients will be
necessary to mitigate uncompensated care and associated costs.
|
|
Our Solution. Our patient billing and payment
solutions provide an efficient means for providers to bill their
patients for outstanding balances due, including outsourced
print and mail services for patient statements and other
communications, as well as email updates to patients and online
bill presentment and payment functionality. This solution is
more timely, cost-effective and consistent than in-house print
and mail operations and improves patient collections. Based on
our experience, we estimate that providers can save
approximately $1.50 per patient payment through the use of
online payment processing solutions such as ours, as compared to
conventional billing and payment processes.
|
|
PHARMACY OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity (Payers). Employers, payers
and other pharmacy benefit providers are beginning to re-think
traditional approaches to pharmacy benefit management because of
(i) increases in the cost of providing pharmacy benefits, (ii)
the lack of transparency in pricing and rebate collections and
(iii) increasing concern that decisions pharmacy benefit
managers make are not favorable to their payer customers. Of
particular concern to payers and employers are pharmacy spreads
kept by the pharmacy benefit manager as revenue, re-packaged
mail service prescriptions re-priced at higher than retail
prices and maximum allowable cost price lists for generic drugs
that are designed to provide additional revenues for pharmacy
benefit managers. These factors result in higher prices for
their payers and employers.
|
|
Our Solution. Our prescription solutions
provide claims processing and other administrative services for
pharmacy payers and providers that are conducted online, in
real-time, according to client benefit plan designs and present
a cost-effective alternative to an in-house pharmacy claims
adjudication system. Our offerings also allow payers to
directly manage more of their pharmacy benefits and include
pharmacy claims adjudication, network and payer administration,
client call center service and support, reporting, rebate
management, as well as implementation, training and account
management.
|
|
|
|
Market Opportunity (Providers). The tremendous
growth in the number of prescriptions written has resulted in a
severe shortage of pharmacists in the U.S. Pharmacies must be
able to efficiently exchange transactions with payers and
physicians, automate accounts receivable processes and reduce
costly claims submission errors. Secure, real-time transactions
and EDI products and services simplify prescription management
so that pharmacists can maximize their productivity.
|
|
Our Solution. Our pharmacy transaction
management and connectivity solutions facilitate pharmacy
reimbursement and increase operational efficiencies. Our
pharmacy provider products and services reduce administrative
demands on pharmacy staff, improve reimbursement and facilitate
a more efficient prescription workflow. In addition, we enable
pharmacies to exchange secure electronic transactions with
providers, including new prescriptions, refill requests and
responses, resulting in a more accurate flow of information
between pharmacies and providers.

network reaches the largest number of payers, providers and
pharmacies in the U.S. healthcare system, including
approximately 1,200 payers, 500,000 providers, 5,000 hospitals,
77,000 dentists and 55,000 pharmacies. The sheer size of our
network enables us to drive consistent workflow and information
exchange for all healthcare constituents using our network. The
benefits of utilizing a single vendor to standardize work flows
and information exchanges among our payer, provider and pharmacy
customers increases the value of our product and service
offerings and makes the adoption of our electronic solutions
more attractive to our customers. Our business benefits as the
healthcare industry increasingly automates payments because we
are a key distributor of electronic remittance data necessary to
accompany the payment and are well positioned to automate
payments for a large network of payers.
We have developed our network of payers and providers over
25 years and connect virtually all private and government
payers, claim-submitting providers and pharmacies. Our network
ubiquity makes it difficult, expensive and time-consuming for
our competitors to attempt to replicate our market position.
Compared to our competitors, who lack the breadth and scale of
our network and who often must rely on our network to provide
some or all of their own services, we are uniquely positioned to
facilitate seamless and timely interaction among payers and
providers.

Comprehensive Suite of Market-Leading
Solutions. We provide a comprehensive suite
of revenue and payment cycle solutions that address key aspects
of the patient encounter, including pre-care patient eligibility
and benefits verification, claims management and submission,
payment and remittance advice distribution, payment posting and
denial management and patient billing and payment collection.
Our offerings have evolved through the addition of internally
developed and externally acquired services. We generate greater
than 90% of our revenues from products and solutions where we
believe we have a leading market position. The combination of
these products and services has resulted in a solution that many
of our competitors are unable to replicate because their
offerings typically address only certain constituents and
certain segments of the revenue and payment cycle and do not
have comparable breadth and scale of connectivity among all the
key healthcare constituent groups.
Leverageable Platform for Future
Growth. As the single greatest point of
connectivity in the U.S. healthcare system, we are uniquely
positioned to leverage our platform to drive the adoption of new
products and services. Our long-standing customer relationships
provide us with important insights across our customers’
broad range of revenue and payment cycle needs and allow us to
offer additional value-added products and services to our
customers. For example, our expansive network positions us to
benefit from the increasing convergence of healthcare
transactions and consumer financial payments. In addition, our
payer customers that utilize our paper to electronic claim
conversion services benefit from our broad electronic
connectivity with providers. Because of the significant number
of providers connected to our network, we can often identify
providers who otherwise submit claims electronically but are
submitting paper claims to payers transitioning to electronic
processes. This synergy enables us to contact these providers
and switch them to electronic submission for those payers,
eliminating the paper and providing greater efficiencies to both
our payer and provider customers.
Established and Long-Standing Customer
Relationships. Our products and services are
important to our customers, as demonstrated by the fact that our
50 largest customers in 2007 have been with us for an average of
11 years as of August 2008, and 33 of our 50 largest
customers in 2007 have used our products and services for
10 years or more. As many of our customers have continued
to rationalize their vendor relationships and simplify their
internal operations, we have been able to meet their diverse
business needs with our comprehensive suite of solutions. This
trend has enabled us to become the exclusive provider of certain
eligibility and benefits verification
and/or
claims management services for over 300 payers (approximately
25% of all U.S. payers) that have entered into MGAs with
us. We also serve as the sole method of distributing certain
payments and remittance advice to providers for over
600 payers (approximately 50% of all U.S. payers).
Stable, Low-Risk Business Model. We
believe our business model is attractive and relatively low-risk
due to following factors:
|
|
|
|
•
|
The majority of our revenues are driven by healthcare
transaction volumes rather than changes in the broader economic
environment, healthcare reimbursement rates or customers’
discretionary capital expenditure or information technology
budgets. In fact, there are elements of counter-cyclical
dynamics that we benefit from. For example, bad debt expenses
tend to increase for providers in recessions, which increases
the pressure to seek improved administrative and billing
solutions from us.
|
|
|
•
|
We expect to benefit from favorable healthcare industry trends,
including demographic changes, continuing healthcare cost
escalation and increasing administrative complexity.
|
|
|
•
|
Our long-term customer relationships provide us with a stable,
recurring revenue base with significant visibility; in 2007,
approximately 90 – 95% of our revenues were recurring
in nature and we typically achieve a high customer retention
rate.
|
|
|
•
|
We do not have significant customer concentration. In 2007, our
top 10 payer customers represented 17% of total revenue and no
single payer customer represented more than 3.5% of our total
revenue. Our top 10 provider customers represented 13% of our
total revenue and no single provider customer represented more
than 5.7% of our total revenue.
|
83
|
|
|
|
•
|
We believe we have limited risk associated with changes in the
political and the legislative environment as our solutions help
mitigate the overall administrative costs of healthcare, an
objective which has broad political support.
|
Strong, Predictable Cash Flow with Low Capital
Requirements. Our business generates strong,
stable cash flows as a result of the recurring revenue we
generate from our transactions-based business model, our
significant operating leverage, our relatively low working
capital requirements and the moderate capital expenditures
needed to support our network. In 2007, we generated
approximately $95.1 million of cash flow provided by
operations. In 2007, our capital expenditures as a percentage of
revenues were 3.5%.
Experienced Management Team. We have
assembled a highly experienced management team. Our senior
management team averages more than seven years of service
with us or with companies that we have acquired and
13 years of healthcare industry experience. Our management
team and board of directors include a balance of internally
developed leaders and experienced managers from the industry and
from our customers (including large payer customers), which
provides us with a deep understanding of the complex needs of
our customer base. In addition, our management team has
significant experience in identifying, executing and integrating
acquisitions, as well as driving organic growth.
Our
Strategy
We are pursuing the following growth strategies:
Continue to Drive Healthcare’s Transition from
Paper-Based to Electronic Transactions. We
are well positioned to further drive the healthcare
industry’s adoption of automated, cost-saving processes
through our comprehensive network of payers and providers.
Currently less than 10% of commercial healthcare payer payment
processes are electronic. We plan to assist our customers in
automating these processes by: (i) converting paper-based
payer remittances and payments to electronic form,
(ii) expanding our remittance and payment distribution
network, (iii) improving workflow automation for provider
payment posting and (iv) automating the provider’s
patient billing and payment process. Unlike many of our
competitors that lack an electronic network to facilitate
conversion to electronic solutions, our incentives are properly
aligned with those of our customers and are not compromised by a
motivation to protect legacy, paper-based solutions. As we
continue to drive this transition, we believe we benefit from
the credibility and reputation we have earned for leading the
healthcare industry’s migration from paper to electronic
claims submissions, which represent 75% of all claims submitted
in 2006 but represented only 2% of claims in 1990.
Increase Customer Penetration by Executing on Significant
Cross-Selling Opportunity. We believe we have
significant opportunities to sell additional value-added
products and services to our existing payer and provider
customers. Our broad network of payers and providers, combined
with our comprehensive suite of solutions and strong customer
relationships, present a significant cross-selling opportunity.
Although we have recently made progress increasing penetration
within our existing customers base, there is a significant
opportunity for additional cross-selling. Each of the five steps
of the healthcare revenue and payment cycle process represents a
separate product
and/or
services category in which we offer one or more solutions. Our
growth opportunity from our existing customers comes from
additional utilization of current product and service offerings,
adoption of additional solutions within that same product
category or adoption of products and services that fall into
other categories.
Develop New High-Value Solutions for our Customers’
Revenue and Payment Cycle Needs. We have
fostered a culture of innovation and continually seek to develop
and market new solutions for our customers. We are uniquely
positioned to develop solutions that benefit from our network
and our access to all key healthcare constituent groups to
complement our current product and service offerings. We have
recently utilized our established provider network and our
payment distribution capability to develop electronic payment
(“ePayment”) solutions for both providers and patients
in order to capitalize on the growing convergence of electronic
financial and healthcare transactions as a result of increased
consumer responsibility for healthcare payments. These solutions
allow payers to send remittance advice and claims payments to
providers electronically, thereby reducing their reliance on
print and mail. Our ePayment solutions offer
84
providers the ability to reduce labor-intensive and error-prone
paper and manual reconciliation processes, shortening the
reimbursement cycle and reducing costs for both payers and
providers.
Continue to Capitalize on Efficiencies of Scale and
Rationalize Costs to Improve
Profitability. We expect to generate growth
in profitability in excess of our revenue growth by increasing
the number of transactions we facilitate among payers, providers
and patients. We have significant operating leverage as we
spread our fixed costs over a steadily increasing volume of
transactions. We believe our revenue growth, coupled with the
highly-fixed cost structure associated with our electronic
services network, will allow us to increase our margins and
profitability. In 2007, 46.7% of our revenues were generated by
electronic transactions that derive high incremental
profitability as adoption and implementation of electronic
transactions increase. In addition, our management team
evaluates and implements initiatives on an ongoing basis to
improve our financial and operating performance through cost
savings and productivity improvements. Since late 2006, we have
adopted a number of programs to streamline our operations,
including process and system innovation through integration and
consolidation and outsourcing certain information technology and
operations functions. These efficiency measures improved our
cost position and enabled us to invest significant amounts in
technology and new product development initiatives.
Leverage our Expansive Data to Create Business
Intelligence and Analytics Solutions. We have
extensive access to data associated with financial and
administrative interactions across a range of different payers
and providers that we plan to leverage in order to develop
information-based business intelligence solutions and data
analytics products and services. We have one of the most
comprehensive and timely sources of U.S. healthcare
information, with a database of over 25 terabytes of historical
claim and reimbursement data to which we add an average of
125 million rows of data daily. Because we often handle all
of an individual provider’s claims and patient billing,
this database allows us to track the status of a provider’s
entire revenue cycle and develop solutions based on overall
revenue cycle trends. Similarly, for payers, we are able to
develop solutions to permit more timely and relevant monitoring
across their inpatient, outpatient, dental and pharmacy data
because we have insight into a large number of clinical
encounters as early in the patient encounter as the eligibility
verification and pre-authorization stage. For example, in 2008,
we developed a patient responsibility estimation service that we
tailor for an individual provider based on extensive payer-,
plan- and procedure-specific reimbursement data. As a result,
the provider can more accurately predict the amount of
reimbursement that it will receive from a third-party payer for
a patient with a specific benefit plan and for a specific
procedure. This solution also enables providers to collect
adequate and accurate data prior to patient care in order to
estimate patient financial responsibility and thereby reduce the
level of uncompensated care and bad debt expense. We believe our
access to transactions data positions us to develop future
business intelligence reporting capabilities to further improve
transparency for our payer and provider customers and ultimately
reduce costs for patients.
Pursue Selective Acquisitions. In
addition to our internal development efforts, we regularly
evaluate opportunities to improve and expand our solutions and
profitability through strategic acquisitions. Our acquisition
strategy focuses on identifying acquisitions that optimize and
streamline the healthcare revenue and payment cycle. Our
expansive customer footprint affords us the important advantage
of being able to deploy acquired products and services into our
installed base, which, in turn, can help to accelerate growth of
our acquired businesses. We believe our management team’s
ability to successfully identify acquisition opportunities that
are complementary to our business and to integrate them into our
existing operations with minimal disruption has played, and will
continue to play, an important role in the expansion of our
business and in our growth. For example, with the December 2007
acquisition of IXT, an online patient statement and billing
provider, we acquired 165 new hospital relationships, which we
will target for cross-selling our other revenue cycle management
solutions.

automatically renew for successive terms unless terminated. We
have also entered into MGAs with over 300 of our payer customers
under which we are the exclusive provider of certain eligibility
and benefit verification
and/or

Customers
Payer
Services
The payer market is comprised of more than 1,200 payers across
four main segments: Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield
fiscal intermediaries and private insurance companies. We are
directly connected and provide services to virtually all payers
offering electronic transaction connectivity services. We also
serve the Third Party Administrator (“TPA”)
market with
print-and-mail
payment and remittance distribution services and the PPO market
with intelligent claim capture and routing services. For the
year ended 2007, our top 10 payer customers represented 17% of
our total revenues and no payer customer accounted for more than
3.5% of our total revenues.
Provider
Services
The provider market is composed of three main constituents:
physicians, hospitals and dentists. We currently have direct
account relationships with approximately 260,000 physicians,
2,700 hospitals and 77,000 dentists. For the year ended
2007, our top 10 provider customers represented 13% of our total
revenues and no provider customer accounted for more than 5.7%
of our total revenues.
89
Pharmacy
Services
The pharmacy market is composed of more than 55,000 chains and
independent pharmacies, as well as prescription benefits
solutions marketed directly to payers. We are directly connected
and provide services to virtually all pharmacies utilizing
electronic transaction connectivity services. No pharmacy
services customer accounted for more than 2.2% of our total
revenues.
Marketing
and Sales
Our ability to continually grow the number of healthcare
industry constituents that connect to our network and create an
integrated, comprehensive product and service offering is
critical to our success. Marketing activities for our payer,
provider and pharmacy solutions include direct sales, targeted
direct marketing, advertising, tradeshow exhibits, provider
workshops, web-based marketing activities,
e-newsletters
and conference sponsorships.
As of June 30, 2008, our dedicated payer sales organization
was comprised of 23 sales professionals that sell our services
directly to payers, as well as 22 account managers that are
responsible for managing our ongoing payer relationships and
cross-selling additional solutions to our existing payer clients.
As of June 30, 2008, direct sales for provider services are
accomplished by a team of over 125 professionals that are
focused primarily on sales to larger customers, such as
hospitals, clinics and laboratories, as well as inside sales
(telemarketing) to smaller physician offices.
We market and distribute our pharmacy services solutions
directly to chains and independent pharmacies. As of
June 30, 2008, we had a direct sales team of six sales
professionals that are focused primarily on retail pharmacies,
retail chains, software vendors and distributors. We currently
have approximately 55,000 pharmacies in our network. In
addition, we sell prescription benefits solutions directly to
payers that are looking for an alternative to maintaining an
in-house pharmacy claims adjudication system.
As of June 30, 2008, we also had over 600 channel partner
relationships. Our channel partners include physician practice
management vendors, hospital information system vendors and
other software vendors that provide software and services for
providers. We integrate our revenue and payment cycle management
services into these channel partners’ software solutions
for distribution to their provider customers. We have a team of
10 professionals that actively manage these relationships
to increase distribution effectiveness. Under the agreements we
enter into with our channel partners, we either (i) charge
the channel partner a per transaction or flat fee or
(ii) grant rebates to the channel partner based on the
transaction fees we receive from our payer customers. Our
contracts with channel partners are generally one to three years
in term and automatically renew for successive terms unless
terminated.
Technology
To integrate our current products and services with those that
we are currently developing, our technology platforms employ a
standard enterprise services bus (“ESB”) in a
service-oriented architecture, configured for highly-available
24/7 operations. We maintain two secure, interconnected,
environmentally-controlled data centers, one in Nashville, TN
and one in Memphis, TN, each with emergency power generation
capabilities. We also utilize a data center operated by a third
party in Florida to process certain of our transaction services.
Our software development life cycle methodology requires that
all applications are able to run in both of our data centers. We
use a variety of proprietary and licensed standards-based
technologies to implement our platforms, including those which
provide for orchestration, interoperability and process control.
The platforms also integrate a data infrastructure to support
both transaction processing and data warehousing for operational
support and data analytics.
90
Competition
We compete on the basis of the size and reach of our network,
the ability to offer a single-vendor solution, the diversity of
products and services we offer and are able to develop and our
pricing model. Our payer, provider and pharmacy services compete
with:
|
|
|
|
•
|
transaction processing companies, including those providing EDI
and/or
internet-based services and those providing services through
other means, such as paper and fax;
|
|
|
•
|
certain healthcare information system vendors that support
providers, including physician practice management system and
electronic medical record system vendors;
|
|
|
•
|
large information technology consulting service providers;
|
|
|
•
|
health insurance companies, pharmacy benefit management
companies and pharmacies that provide or are developing
electronic transaction services for use by providers
and/or by
their members and customers;
|
|
|
•
|
healthcare focused print and mail vendors; and
|
|
|
•
|
certain banks that have invested in healthcare data management
assets.
|
We also compete, in some cases, with alliances formed by the
above competitors. In addition, major software, hardware,
information systems and business process outsourcing companies,
both with and without healthcare companies as their partners,
offer or have announced their intention to offer products or
services that are competitive with some of ours. Major
competitors for our products
and/or
services include McKesson (RelayHealth) and UnitedHealth Group
(Ingenix and OptumHealth), as well as other smaller competitors
that typically compete with us in one or more of our product
and/or service categories.
In addition, some of our existing payer and provider customers
compete with us or plan to do so. In general, these customers
offer services that compete with some of our solutions but do
not offer the full range of products and services we offer. For
example, some payers currently offer, through affiliated
clearinghouses, internet portals and other means, electronic
data transmission services to providers that allow the provider
to have a direct connection to the payer, bypassing third party
EDI service providers such as us. In addition, as part of the
solutions healthcare information system vendors, including our
channel partners, sell, they may offer their customers products
and services that we supply directly or similar products and
services offered by our competitors.
Many of our current and potential competitors have greater
financial and marketing resources than we have. Furthermore, we
believe that the increasing acceptance of automated solutions in
the healthcare marketplace, the adoption of more sophisticated
technology, legislative reform and consolidation within the
payer and provider industries will result in increased
competition. There can be no assurance that we will continue to
maintain our existing customer base, or that we will be
successful with any new products or services that we have
introduced or will introduce.
Intellectual
Property
We rely upon a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright
and trademark laws, license agreements, confidentiality
procedures, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to
protect the intellectual property used in our business. We
generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees, consultants, vendors and customers. We also seek to
control access to and distribution of our technology,
documentation and other proprietary information.
We use numerous trademarks, trade names and service marks for
our products and services, including
EMDEONtm,

and we also use numerous domain names, including
“emdeon.com.” We also rely on a variety of
intellectual property rights that we license from third parties.
Although we believe that alternative technologies are generally
available to replace such licenses, these third-party
technologies may not continue to be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms.
91
We have several patents and patent applications covering
products and services we provide, including software
applications. Due to the nature of our applications, we believe
that patent protection is less significant than our ability to
further develop, enhance and modify our current products and
services.
The steps we have taken to protect our copyrights, trademarks,
servicemarks and other intellectual property may not be
adequate, and third parties could infringe, misappropriate or
misuse our intellectual property. If this were to occur, it
could harm our reputation and adversely affect our competitive
position or results of operations. See “Risk
Factors — The protection of our intellectual property
requires substantial resources.”
Regulation
and Legislation
Introduction
Almost all of our revenue is either from the healthcare industry
or could be affected by changes in healthcare spending. The
healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory
and other influences. Federal and state legislatures and
agencies periodically consider proposals to reform or revise
aspects of the U.S. healthcare system. Among other things,
these proposals may increase governmental involvement in
healthcare, lower reimbursement rates or otherwise change the
environment in which healthcare industry constituents operate.
Healthcare industry constituents may respond by reducing their
expenditures or postponing expenditure decisions, including
expenditures for our product and service offerings.
In addition, the healthcare industry is required to comply with
extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal and
state levels. Although many regulatory and governmental
requirements do not directly apply to our operations, our
customers are required to comply with a variety of laws, and we
may be impacted by these laws as a result of our contractual
obligations. We may also be impacted by laws regulating the
banking and financial services industry as a result of payment
and remittance services and products we offer. For many of these
requirements, there is little history of regulatory or judicial
interpretation upon which to rely. We have attempted to
structure our operations to comply with applicable legal
requirements, but there can be no assurance that our operations
will not be challenged or impacted by enforcement initiatives.
We are unable to predict the future course of federal, state or
local legislation and regulatory efforts. Further changes in the
law, regulatory framework or the interpretation of applicable
laws and regulations could reduce our revenue or increase our
costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
HIPAA
Administrative Simplification Requirements
General. The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) mandated a
package of interlocking administrative simplification rules to
establish standards and requirements for the electronic
transmission of certain healthcare claims and payment
transactions. These regulations are intended to encourage
electronic commerce in the healthcare industry and apply
directly to health plans, most providers and healthcare
clearinghouses (“Covered Entities”). Certain of our
businesses, including some of our operations, are considered
Covered Entities under HIPAA and its implementing regulations.
Other aspects of our operations are considered a “business
associate” under HIPAA, and indirectly impacted by the
HIPAA regulations as a result of our contractual obligations to
our customers and interactions with other constituents in the
healthcare industry that are Covered Entities (“Business
Associates”).
Transaction Standards. The standard
transaction regulations established under HIPAA
(“Transaction Standards”) mandate certain format and
data content standards for the most common electronic healthcare
transactions, using technical standards promulgated by
recognized standards publishing organizations. These
transactions include healthcare claims, enrollment, payment and
eligibility. The Transaction Standards are applicable to that
portion of our business involving the processing of healthcare
transactions among payers, providers, patients and other
healthcare industry constituents. Failure to comply with the
Transaction Standards may subject us to civil and potentially
criminal penalties and breach of contract claims. The Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) is
responsible for enforcing the Transaction Standards.
Payers and providers who are unable to exchange data in the
required standard formats can achieve Transaction Standards
compliance by contracting with a clearinghouse to translate
between standard and non-standard formats.
92
As a result, use of a clearinghouse has allowed numerous payers
and providers to establish compliance with the Transaction
Standards independently and at different times, reducing
transition costs and risks. In addition, the standardization of
formats and data standards envisioned by the Transaction
Standards has only partially occurred. Multiple versions of a
HIPAA standard claim have emerged as each payer defines for
itself what constitutes a “HIPAA-compliant” claim. To
date, payers have published more than 600 different
“companion documents” setting forth their individual
interpretations and implementation of the government guidelines.
In order to help prevent disruptions in the healthcare payment
system, CMS has permitted the use of “contingency
plans” under which claims and other covered transactions
can be processed, in some circumstances, in either HIPAA
standard or legacy formats. CMS terminated the Medicare
contingency plan for incoming claims in 2005. The Medicare
contingency plan for HIPAA transactions, other than claims,
remains in effect. Our contingency plan, pursuant to which we
process HIPAA-compliant standard transactions and legacy
transactions, as appropriate, based on the needs of our
customers, remains in effect. We cannot provide assurance
regarding how CMS will enforce the Transaction Standards or how
long CMS will permit constituents in the healthcare industry to
utilize contingency plans. We continue to work with payers and
providers, healthcare information system vendors and other
healthcare constituents to implement fully the Transaction
Standards.
In August 2008, CMS proposed adopting updated standard code sets
for certain diagnoses and procedures known as the ICD-10 code
sets and making related changes to the formats used for certain
electronic transactions. If these or other changes impacting
electronic transactions become final, we will be required to
update our software and may be required to implement other
related changes to our systems. These changes may result in
errors and otherwise negatively impact our service levels, and
we may experience complications related to supporting customers
that are not fully compliant with the revised requirements as of
the applicable compliance date.
NPI Standard. The national provider identifier
(“NPI”) regulations established under HIPAA (“NPI
Standard”) require providers that transmit any health
information in electronic form in connection with a
HIPAA-standard transaction to obtain a single, 10 position
all-numeric NPI and to use the NPI in standard transactions for
which a provider identifier is required. Health plans and
healthcare clearinghouses must use a provider’s NPI to
identify the provider on all standard transactions requiring a
provider identifier. The NPI Standard took effect on
May 23, 2007; however, CMS permitted Covered Entities to
use legacy identifiers through May 23, 2008.
All of our clearinghouse systems are fully capable of
transmitting transactions that include the NPI. We continue to
process transactions using legacy identifiers for non-Medicare
claims that are sent to us to the extent that the intended
recipients have not instructed us to suppress those legacy
identifiers. We cannot provide assurance regarding how CMS will
enforce the NPI Standard or how CMS will view our practice of
including legacy identifiers for non-Medicare claims. We
continue to work with payers, providers, practice management
system vendors and other healthcare industry constituents to
implement the NPI Standard. Any CMS regulatory change or
clarification or enforcement action that prohibited the
processing by healthcare clearinghouses or private payers of
transactions containing legacy identifiers could have an adverse
effect on our business.
Regulation
of Healthcare Relationships
A number of federal and state laws govern patient referrals,
financial relationships with physicians and other referral
sources and inducements to providers and patients, including
restrictions contained in amendments to the Social Security Act,
commonly known as “the federal Anti-Kickback Law.” The
federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits any person or entity from
offering, paying, soliciting or receiving, directly or
indirectly, anything of value with the intent of generating
referrals or orders for services or items covered by a federal
healthcare program, such as Medicare, Medicaid or TriCare.
Violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Law is a felony.
The Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services has created certain regulatory safe
harbors to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. Activities that comply
precisely with a safe harbor are deemed protected from
prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Law. Failure to meet
a safe harbor does not automatically render an arrangement
illegal under the Anti-Kickback Law. The arrangement, however,
does risk increased scrutiny by government enforcement
authorities, based on its particular facts and circumstances.
Our contracts and other arrangements may not meet a safe harbor.
Many states have laws and regulations that are similar
93
to the federal Anti-Kickback Law. In many cases, these state
requirements are not limited to items or services for which
payment is made by a federal healthcare program.
The laws in this area are both broad and vague and generally not
subject to frequent regulatory or judicial interpretation. We
review our practices with regulatory experts in an effort to
comply with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
However, we are unable to predict how these laws will be
interpreted or the full extent of their application,
particularly to services that are not directly reimbursed by
federal healthcare programs, such as transaction processing
services. Any determination by a state or federal regulatory
agency that any of our practices violate any of these laws could
subject us to civil or criminal penalties and require us to
change or terminate some portions of our business. Even an
unsuccessful challenge by regulatory authorities of our
practices could cause adverse publicity and cause us to incur
significant legal and related costs.
False
Claims Laws and Other Fraud and Abuse Restrictions
We provide claims processing and other transaction services to
providers that relate to, or directly involve, the reimbursement
of health services covered by Medicare, Medicaid, other federal
healthcare programs and private payers. In addition, as part of
our data transmission and claims submission services, we may
employ certain edits, using logic, mapping and defaults, when
submitting claims to third-party payers. Such edits are utilized
when the information received from providers is insufficient to
complete individual data elements requested by payers.
As a result of these aspects of our business, we may be subject
to, or contractually required to comply with, state and federal
laws that govern various aspects of the submission of healthcare
claims for reimbursement and the receipt of payments for
healthcare items or services. These laws generally prohibit an
individual or entity from knowingly presenting or causing to be
presented claims for payment to Medicare, Medicaid or other
third-party payers that are false or fraudulent. False or
fraudulent claims include, but are not limited to, billing for
services not rendered, failing to refund known overpayments,
misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to obtain
higher reimbursement, improper coding and billing for medically
unnecessary goods and services. Further, providers may not
contract with individuals or entities excluded from
participation in any federal healthcare program. Like the
federal Anti-Kickback Law, these provisions are very broad. To
avoid liability, providers and their contractors must, among
other things, carefully and accurately code, complete and submit
claims for reimbursement.
Some of these laws, including restrictions contained in
amendments to the Social Security Act, commonly known as
“the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law,” require a
lower burden of proof than other fraud and abuse laws. Federal
and state governments increasingly use the federal Civil
Monetary Penalty Law, especially where they believe they cannot
meet the higher burden of proof requirements under the various
criminal healthcare fraud provisions. Many of these laws provide
significant civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance and
can be enforced by private individuals through
“whistleblower” or qui tam actions. For example, the
federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law provides for penalties
ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per prohibited act and
assessments of up to three times the amount claimed or received.
Further, violations of the federal False Claims Act are
punishable by treble damages and penalties of up to $11,000 per
false claim. Whistleblowers, the federal government and some
courts have taken the position that entities that allegedly have
violated other statutes, such as the federal Anti-Kickback Law,
have thereby submitted false claims under the federal False
Claims Act.
From time to time, constituents in the healthcare industry,
including us, may be subject to actions under the federal False
Claims Act or other fraud and abuse provisions. We cannot
guarantee that state and federal agencies will regard any
billing errors we process as inadvertent or will not hold us
responsible for any compliance issues related to claims we
handle on behalf of providers and payers. Although we believe
our editing processes are consistent with applicable
reimbursement rules and industry practice, a court, enforcement
agency or whistleblower could challenge these practices. We
cannot predict the impact of any enforcement actions under the
various false claims and fraud and abuse laws applicable to our
operations. Even an unsuccessful challenge of our practices
could cause adverse publicity and cause us to incur significant
legal and related costs.
Requirements
Regarding the Confidentiality, Privacy and Security of Personal
Information
Data Protection and Breaches. In recent years,
there have been a number of well-publicized data breaches
involving the improper dissemination of personal information of
individuals both within and outside of the healthcare
94
industry. Many states have responded to these incidents by
enacting laws requiring holders of personal information to
maintain safeguards and to take certain actions in response to a
data breach, such as providing prompt notification of the breach
to affected individuals. In many cases, these laws are limited
to electronic data, but states are increasingly enacting or
considering stricter and broader requirements. Congress has also
been considering similar federal legislation relating to
impermissible disclosures and data breaches. In addition, the
Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has prosecuted some
data breach cases as unfair and deceptive acts or practices
under the Federal Trade Commission Act. We have implemented and
maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards
intended to protect all personal data and have processes in
place to assist us in complying with all applicable laws and
regulations regarding the protection of this data and properly
responding to any security incidents.
HIPAA Privacy Standards and Security
Standards. The privacy regulations established
under HIPAA (“Standards”) extensively regulate the use
and disclosure of individually identifiable health information
by Covered Entities and their contractors, known as Business
Associates. The Privacy Standards also provide patients with
rights related to understanding and controlling how their health
information is used and disclosed. The Privacy Standards apply
directly as a Covered Entity to our operations as a healthcare
clearinghouse and indirectly as a Business Associate to other
aspects of our operations as a result of our contractual
obligations to our customers. To the extent permitted by the
Privacy Standards and our contracts with our customers, we may
use and disclose individually identifiable health information to
perform our services and for other limited purposes, such as
creating de-identified information. Determining whether data has
been sufficiently de-identified to comply with the Privacy
Standards and our contractual obligations may require complex
factual and statistical analyses and may be subject to
interpretation.
The security regulations established under HIPAA (“Security
Standards”) require Covered Entities and their Business
Associates to implement and maintain administrative, physical
and technical safeguards to protect the security of individually
identifiable health information that is electronically
transmitted or electronically stored. HIPAA includes civil and
criminal penalties for Covered Entities that violate the Privacy
Standards or the Security Standards. Depending upon the facts
and circumstances, Business Associates could be subject to
criminal liability for aiding and abetting, or conspiring with,
a Covered Entity to violate the Privacy Standards or the
Security Standards. Further, if we are unable to properly
protect the privacy and security of health information entrusted
to us, we could be found to have breached our contracts with our
customers.
We have implemented and maintain policies and processes to
assist us in complying with the Privacy Standards, the Security
Standards and our contractual obligations. We cannot provide
assurance regarding how these standards will be interpreted,
enforced or applied to our operations. Recently, CMS, which
enforces the Security Standards, and the Department of Health
and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, which enforces the
Privacy Standards, appear to have increased their enforcement
activities.
Other Requirements. In addition to HIPAA,
numerous other state and federal laws govern the collection,
dissemination, use, access to and confidentiality of
individually identifiable health information and healthcare
provider information. In addition, some states are considering
new laws and regulations that further protect the
confidentiality, privacy and security of medical records or
other types of medical information. In many cases, these state
laws are not preempted by the HIPAA Privacy Standards and may be
subject to interpretation by various courts and other
governmental authorities. Further, the U.S. Congress and a
number of states have considered or are considering prohibitions
or limitations on the disclosure of medical or other information
to individuals or entities located outside of the United States.
Banking
and Financial Services Industry
The banking and financial services industry is subject to
numerous laws and regulations, some of which may impact our
operations and subject us, our vendors or our customers to
liability as a result of the payment distribution products and
services we offer or may offer in the future. Although we do not
act as a bank, we plan to provide products and services that
involve vendors who are licensed as, or contract with, banks and
other regulated providers of financial services. As a result, we
may be impacted by banking and financial services industry laws
and regulations, such as licensing requirements, solvency
standards, requirements to maintain privacy of nonpublic
personal financial information and FDIC deposit insurance
limits. Further, our payment distribution products and
95
services may impact the ability of our payer customers to comply
with state prompt payment laws. These laws require payers to pay
healthcare claims meeting the statutory or regulatory definition
of a “clean claim” to be paid within a specified time
frame.
Thus, we are subject to potentially complex compliance issues.
Changes to federal and state laws, or new interpretations of
existing laws, could create liability for us, could impose
additional operational requirements on our businesses, could
affect the manner in which we use, disclose and transmit
individually identifiable health information and could increase
our costs of doing business. Even an unsuccessful challenge of
our practices could cause adverse publicity and cause us to
incur significant legal and related costs.
Employees
As of June 30, 2008, we had approximately
2,250 employees. Our employees are not represented by any
union and are not the subject of a collective bargaining
agreement. We believe that we have a good relationship with our
employees.
Properties
We do not own any real property. We currently sub-lease
approximately 97,000 square feet for our corporate
headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee under a sub-lease agreement
which is due to expire in December 2010. We recently expanded
our lease of office space at 3055 Lebanon Rd., Nashville,
Tennessee, which is due to expire in October 2018, from
approximately 55,000 square feet to approximately
164,000 square feet. We plan to move our corporate
headquarters and to consolidate certain of our other Nashville
area operations to that location during the fourth quarter of
2008. We lease approximately 54,000 square feet of
additional office space at 1283 Murfreesboro Road, Nashville,
Tennessee under a lease arrangement which is due to expire in
January 2009.
One of our two primary data centers, containing approximately
11,000 square feet of data storage space, is located at our
current corporate headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee under the
sub-lease agreement, which is due to expire in December 2010,
and the other containing approximately 20,000 square feet
of data center space is located in Memphis, Tennessee, which
lease agreement is due to expire in January 2017.
For our patient billing and payment distribution services, we
lease approximately 93,000 square feet of office space at a
facility located in Toledo, Ohio, approximately
24,000 square feet of office space at a facility located in
Scottsdale, Arizona, and approximately 53,000 square feet
of office space at a facility located in Bridgeton, Missouri. We
also lease a number of other small operations, business and
sales offices in several other states and one facility in Costa
Rica.
We believe that our facilities are generally adequate for
current and anticipated future use, although we may from time to
time lease or vacate additional facilities as our operations
require.
Legal
Proceedings
From time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation
relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not
currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

We expect to elect one additional independent director to our
board of directors prior to the effectiveness of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and
plan to add another independent director after the completion of
this offering.
Corporate
Governance
Controlled
Company
We intend to list the shares offered in this offering on the
NYSE. For purposes of the NYSE rules, we expect to be a
“controlled company.” “Controlled companies”
under those rules are companies of which more than
50 percent of the voting power is held by an individual, a
group or another company. Together, our Principal Equityholders
will continue to control more than 50% of the combined voting
power of our common stock upon completion of this offering and
are able to elect our entire board of directors. Accordingly, we
are eligible to, and we intend to, take advantage of certain
exemptions from NYSE corporate governance requirements provided
in the NYSE rules. Specifically, as a controlled company under
NYSE rules, we are not required to have (i) a majority of
independent directors, (ii) a Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors
or (iii) a Compensation Committee composed entirely of
independent directors.
Board
Structure
Composition
of our Board of Directors
Upon consummation of the reorganization transactions and this
offering, our board of directors will initially consist of eight

EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Executive
Compensation
The following discusses our executive compensation programs with
respect to our “named executive officers” and includes
a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to
them in the year ended December 31, 2007. This section also
describes our compensation philosophy and the policies and
processes that we use in reaching compensation decisions. The
individuals whose compensation is discussed below are our
current Chief Executive Officer, George Lazenby; our Chief
Financial Officer, Bob A. Newport, Jr.; our Executive
Vice President — Provider Services, J. Philip
Hardin; our Executive Vice President — Payer Services,
Gary D. Stuart, and our former acting Chief Executive Officer,
Kevin Cameron. We collectively refer to these individuals in the
following discussion as our “named executive officers.”
Background
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the board of
directors of EBS Master (the “EBS Master Board”),
together with our chief executive officer (other than with
respect to himself), made decisions regarding the compensation
of our named executive officers. Mr. Cameron, who served as
our chief executive officer while we were owned by HLTH, served
without compensation from us as our acting chief executive
officer from November 16, 2006 until Mr. Lazenby was
elevated to that position on March 29, 2007. The remainder
of this discussion describes the compensation of our named
executive officers other than Mr. Cameron.
In connection with this offering, our board of directors formed
a Compensation Committee (which we refer to as the
“Compensation Committee”) to make decisions regarding
the compensation of our named executive officers and perform
other duties as set forth in the charter for the Compensation
Committee.
Compensation
Philosophy and Overview
Our compensation structure is centered around a
pay-for-performance philosophy and is designed to reward our
executives for their abilities, experience and efforts, and we
believe that our services, solutions and products reflect the
individual and combined knowledge and performance which our
compensation programs are structured to reward. Our ability to
attract, retain and motivate the highly-qualified, motivated and
experienced professionals who are vital to our success as a
company is directly tied to the compensation programs we offer.
In addition, we weigh tax and accounting considerations and the
expectations of our executives and investors (including,
following this offering, our public investors) with the
incentives the compensation package provides. With this in mind,
we have structured our compensation program as a competitive
total pay package which we believe allows us to attract, retain
and motivate executives with the skill and knowledge we require.
In July 2008, the Compensation Committee retained Frederic W.
Cook & Co. to evaluate our compensation programs and
to provide guidance with respect to developing and implementing
our compensation philosophy and programs as a public company. In
addition, Frederic W. Cook & Co. provided advice with
respect to the conversion of certain equity awards in EBS Master
held by our named executive officers and the grant of new
equity, each as discussed below in more detail.
Compensation
Objectives and Procedures
The primary objectives of our compensation program are to
provide a competitive total pay package, consisting of base
salary, annual cash bonuses based on company and individual
performance, equity-based awards that provide value to our
executives as the equity value of the company increases over
time and additional benefits. We believe rewarding our executive
officers in this manner encourages them to focus on our overall
business objectives, as well as their individual
responsibilities to us.
The first component of named executive officer compensation is
base salary, which is intended to provide a stable level of
compensation to each officer commensurate with his role and
duties to us. The second component is annual cash bonuses based
on company and individual performance. Tying a portion of total
compensation to
102
annual performance and thus shorter term goals permits us to
adjust the performance measures each year to reflect changing
objectives and those that may be of special importance for a
particular year. Individual performance objectives permit us to
further tailor an executive’s cash bonus to his specific
roles and responsibilities with respect to his position.
Equity-based awards granted to our named executive officers,
which prior to this offering have been in the form of
“profits interests” in EBS Master, referred to as
“Grant Units,” provide a long-term incentive and align
a portion of our executives’ compensation to the interests
of our investors and to each other, helping them to work
together for their mutual success. Equity-based compensation
also fosters a long-term commitment to us by our named executive
officers, and balances the short-term cash components of
compensation which we provide.
Prior to the preparations for this offering, the EBS Master
Board and our chief executive officer (other than with respect
to himself) established base salary and annual bonuses for our
named executive officers. The EBS Master Board determined
Mr. Lazenby’s 2007 base salary and annual cash bonus
level. In addition, each of our named executive officers is
party to an employment agreement
and/or
severance protection agreement with us that specifies certain
elements of his compensation. The EBS Master Board determined
the number and terms of Grant Units awarded to each named
executive officer in 2007.
Following this offering, the Compensation Committee, subject to
the terms of each executive’s employment agreement
and/or
severance protection agreement, will determine compensation for
our named executive officers.
Overview
of Components of Compensation
Compensation for our named executive officers consists of the
following key components:
|
|
|
|
•
|
base salaries;
|
|
|
•
|
annual cash bonuses; and
|
|
|
•
|
equity-based awards.
|
In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to
receive the same benefits that we provide to other full-time
employees, including health and welfare benefits and
participation in our 401(k) Savings Plan. We also provide
certain management employees, including our named executive
officers, supplemental long-term disability benefits in excess
of the otherwise applicable maximum salary replacement levels
available to our employees generally.
In connection with the 2006 Transaction, each of our named
executive officers was paid a cash change in control bonus and a
special one-time discretionary bonus in 2007, and a portion of
his previously awarded stock options to acquire shares of HLTH
common stock and his restricted shares of HLTH common stock
vested on a partially accelerated basis in 2007.
We also provide our named executive officers with severance
payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment,
and accelerated equity award vesting under certain circumstances
in connection with a change in control of our company.
Employment
and Severance Protection Agreements
Each of our named executive officers is party to an employment
and/or
severance protection agreement with us, which agreements were
negotiated with the respective named executive officer and which
specify certain compensation, including an annual rate of base
salary, eligibility for an annual cash bonus and severance
payments and benefits. Pursuant to these agreements, each named
executive officer is subject to restrictive covenants, including
confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation
obligations. The employment of each named executive officer
under these agreements will continue in effect until terminated
by us or by the named executive officer. These agreements are
intended to assure us of the executive’s continued
employment and to provide stability in our senior management
team.
CEO Employment Agreement. In accordance with
Mr. Lazenby’s employment agreement, he is currently
entitled to a base salary at an annual rate of $500,000, which
is subject to increase in our discretion.
Mr. Lazenby’s employment agreement also specified the
number of Grant Units awarded to him in 2007, as discussed in
more
103
detail below under “Equity-Based Awards” and in the
tables and text in the sections titled “Grants of
Plan-Based Awards in 2007” and “Outstanding Equity
Awards at December 31, 2007.”
Base
Salaries
We provide each named executive officer with a base salary for
the services that he performs for us. By providing base
salaries, we provide our executives with one stable element of
compensation, while other compensation elements are variable.
Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be increased in
light of the individual past performance of the named executive
officer, company performance, any change in the executive’s
position within our business, the scope of his responsibilities
and any changes in that scope, and his tenure with the business.
Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Lazenby’s
base salary was increased to $500,000 in March 2007 upon his
elevation to chief executive officer. The base salary for each
of Messrs. Newport, Hardin, and Stuart was increased in
April 2007 from $200,000 to $275,000; $220,000 to $250,000 and
$264,581 to $300,000, respectively. These increases were
determined by our former acting chief executive officer,
Mr. Cameron, with the EBS Master Board’s approval, and
were made in light of the change in roles and responsibilities
of each named executive officer following the 2006 Transaction,
after which our business was no longer a wholly-owned subsidiary
of HLTH.
Mr. Newport received a salary increase from $275,000 to
$290,000, effective as of March 1, 2008. None of our other
named executive officers received a salary increase in 2008.
Annual
Cash Bonuses
We provide our executive officers with the opportunity to share
in our success through annual cash bonuses based on a
combination of objective performance measures and subjective
evaluation of the executive’s performance and contributions
to our company during the year. For the year ending
December 31, 2007, 65% of each named executive
officer’s target bonus was linked to achievement of company
performance measures and 35% was based upon the executive’s
satisfaction of individual strategic objectives. The EBS Master
Board and Mr. Lazenby retained discretion to adjust annual
cash bonuses payable for 2007 based on their evaluation of each
executive’s contributions to us during the year.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the company
performance measures were Adjusted EBITDA and revenue, which
comprised 45.5% and 19.5%, respectively, of each named executive
officer’s overall target bonus. The individual strategic
objectives were designed to assure alignment with our company
performance measures. For 2007, bonuses were linked to
achievement of Adjusted EBITDA within a range of $164 million to
$199 million and achievement of revenue from $735 million to
$888 million. We believe the combination of these performance
factors and the proportionate weighting assigned to each
reflected our overall company goals for 2007, which balanced the
achievement of revenue growth and improving our operating
efficiency. These measures were calculated in the same manner as
reported in our financial statements, except for the effect of
certain unusual one-time expenses that the EBS Master Board
disregarded for purposes of our 2007 cash bonus program.
For the year ended December 31, 2007,
Messrs. Lazenby’s, Newport’s, Hardin’s and
Stuart’s target annual bonus was 60%, 50% 35%, and 35% of
base salary, respectively. The EBS Master Board, together with
Mr. Lazenby, reviewed the company and individual
performance results following December 31, 2007. The EBS
Master Board determined the actual amount of bonus paid to
Mr. Lazenby, and together with Mr. Lazenby, determined
the bonus payment for each other named executive officer. Based
on our achievement of Adjusted EBITDA and revenue as calculated
under the cash bonus program, and each named executive
officer’s performance review, Messrs. Lazenby,
Newport, Hardin and Stuart received bonuses of $297,922,
$136,548, $86,894, and $104,273, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2007. These bonus amounts were paid in
March 2008.
In the future, the Compensation Committee, with the
recommendation of Mr. Lazenby (other than with respect to
himself), will be responsible for establishing annual
performance target and will review actual performance and
determine the amount of cash bonus payable to each named
executive officer.
104
Equity-Based
Awards
In April 2007, each of our named executive officers was awarded
Grant A Units under the EBS Equity Plan, which were designed to
provide an opportunity for long-term incentive compensation.
Grant A Units represented an indirect ownership interest in EBS
Master providing the holder with a specified percentage of the
profits and equity value appreciation of EBS Master from the
date of grant. These Grant A Units were structured as one-time
grants that we believe immediately aligned the interests of our
named executive officers with the investors in EBS Master and
with each other. The awards were structured so that if EBS
Master adequately appreciated, the award’s value would be
materially the same as if the named executive officer had been
granted a full ownership interest in EBS Master on the date of
grant and the executive would share in the growth in value in
proportion to his vested Grant A Unit percentage. If EBS Master
had not appreciated in value, then the Grant A Units would have
had no value. The number of Grant A Units awarded to each
executive was determined by the EBS Master Board commensurate
with his role and responsibilities to us.
The Grant A Units provided our named executive officers rights
that were parallel to those of other owners with respect to
future profits and future growth in the value of EBS Master,
thereby motivating and rewarding our named executive officers
for growth in our equity value. In addition, these awards
provided a retention tool because they were scheduled to vest
over a five-year period, subject to the named executive
officer’s continued employment on each annual vesting date.
In addition, the Grant A Unit award agreements impose
non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions on each named
executive officer so that his Grant A Units are subject to
forfeiture if he violates these restrictions. The named
executive officers did not recognize taxable income upon the
grant or vesting of Grant A Units. Income of EBS Master that was
allocated to the named executive officers by virtue of their
holding Grant A Units was charged to EBS Master’s earnings
and was not deductible as compensation. See the “Grants of
Plan-Based Awards During 2007” table below for more
information regarding the vesting schedule of the Grant A Units
held by our named executive officers.
In connection with this offering and the restructuring
transactions, all outstanding Grant A Units will be converted
into units of EBS Master immediately following this offering,
based on the price of Class A common stock in the offering
and the value that would have been distributable in respect of
each Grant A Unit if EBS Master liquidated immediately following
the offering. The applicable vesting schedule will apply to the
converted EBS Units and both the vested and unvested EBS Units
issued to former holders of Grant A Units will be entitled to
vote and receive distributions, if any, from EBS Master. Vested
EBS Units (along with the corresponding shares of our
Class D common stock) may be exchanged with us for shares
of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
In connection with this offering, we intend to adopt the 2008
Equity Plan so that we can continue to provide our named
executive officers and other employees with equity-based
long-term incentive compensation. For details on the 2008 Equity
Plan, see “2008 Equity Plan”.
Change
in Control Bonuses/HLTH Equity Awards
In connection with the 2006 Transaction, each named executive
officer was paid a cash change in control bonus pursuant to a
change in control and retention bonus plan. These bonuses were
conditioned on continued employment for 90 days after the
closing of the 2006 Transaction. In addition, Mr. Cameron
and the EBS Master Board chose to make a one-time discretionary
special bonus payment to each named executive officer to reflect
the additional responsibilities related to the 2006 Transaction,
its successful completion and the related transition period.
These special retention bonuses were paid in February 2007.
Also, previously awarded HLTH stock options and restricted
shares of HLTH common stock held by our named executive officers
were subject to partial accelerated vesting effective in early
2007. Remaining unvested HLTH options and restricted stock
awards were forfeited at that time. Our named executive officers
exercised their vested HLTH stock options in early 2007.
Severance
and Change in Control Protection
Pursuant to the employment and severance protection agreements,
we provide salary continuation and other benefits in the event
of certain terminations of employment. The Grant A Units held by
our named executive officers would also have been subject to
100% accelerated vesting during 2007 upon the first anniversary
of a sale of EBS Master or earlier termination of employment
under specified circumstances following a sale of EBS Master.
These payments and benefits are described in more detail below
under “— Potential Payments Upon Termination or
Change in Control.”
105
The protections under these agreements were designed to provide
financial security in the event of certain corporate
transactions
and/or
termination of employment, as well as consideration for the
executive’s compliance with certain post-employment
restrictive covenants. We believe that these protections help
retain our management team and provide a basis for continuing
the cohesive operation of our business.

Grants of
Plan-Based Awards in 2007
The following table summarizes awards under our annual cash
bonus program and the EBS Equity Plan to each of our named
executive officers in the year ended December 31, 2007. All
awards granted under the EBS Equity Plan consist of Grant A
Units in EBS Master. All Grant A Units became 20% vested in
November 2007, with an additional 20% scheduled to vest in
November of each of 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, subject to the
named executive officer’s continued employment by us. Grant
A Units were subject to 100% accelerated vesting in connection
with a sale of EBS Master if the executive either
(i) remained employed through the first year following the
sale or (ii) his employment was terminated during that year
by us without “cause” or by him for “good
reason” (each as defined in the relevant award agreement).
A sale of EBS Master was defined as any sale of substantially
all of the assets of EBS Master or of 100% of the interests in
EBS Master held by the General Atlantic Equityholders and the
H&F Equityholders.

Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following summaries and tables describe and quantify the
potential payments and benefits that we would provide to our
named executive officers in connection with termination of
employment and/or change in control. In determining amounts
payable, we have assumed in all cases that the termination of
employment and change in control occurred on December 31,
2007.
Severance
Benefits
The employment of each named executive officer may be terminated
by us or by the executive at any time, with or without cause.
Pursuant to each named executive officer’s employment
and/or severance protection agreement he is entitled to receive
severance benefits upon termination by us without
“cause” or upon his resignation for “good
reason,” and in the case of Mr. Lazenby, upon his
termination due to his death or permanent disability. Upon an
eligible termination, each of the named executive officers will
be entitled to continued payment of his base salary for
12 months (24 months in the case of Mr. Lazenby)
and reimbursement for COBRA health insurance premiums (up to the
amount we pay for active employees) for 12 months
(18 months in the case of Mr. Lazenby). The
executive’s entitlement to these severance payments and
benefits is generally conditioned on continued compliance with
his obligations not to compete with us and not to solicit our
employees or customers (for Messrs. Lazenby and Newport, for 2
years following termination of employment, and for Messrs.
Hardin and Stuart, for 18 months following termination of
employment) and his release of all claims against us.
A termination for “cause” generally includes any of
the following actions by the executive: a material breach of the
executive’s agreement; willful failure to perform his
duties or failure to comply with our employment policies;
misconduct that is injurious to our business or impedes its
operations or conviction of a felony or crime involving moral
turpitude. Resignation for “good reason” generally
includes: a reduction in the executive’s base salary; a
reduction in the executive’s title, authority or duties; a
relocation of more than fifty miles of the executive’s
principal place of employment; or a material breach by us of the
agreement.
No named executive officer has any right to receive a
“gross up” for any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, or any other federal, state and
local income tax.
Change
in Control Benefits
Each named executive officer’s Grant A Units were subject
to 100% accelerated vesting in connection with a sale of EBS
Master if the executive either (i) remained employed
through the first year following the sale or (ii) his
employment was terminated during that year by us without
“cause” or by him for “good reason” (each as
defined in the relevant award agreement). A sale of EBS Master
was defined as any sale of substantially all of the assets of
EBS Master or of 100% of the interests in EBS Master held by the
General Atlantic Equityholders and the H&F Equityholders.
109
Calculations
of Benefits to Which Executives Would be Entitled
Assuming no change in control had occurred and termination of
employment occurred on December 31, 2007, the dollar value
of the payments and other benefits to be provided to each of the
named executive officers are estimated to be as follows:

In addition, if a change in control had occurred in 2007, and
the named executive officer’s employment was terminated by
us without “cause” or by him for “good
reason” on December 31, 2007, the vesting of all of
his Grant A Units would have accelerated and become vested as of
the date of his termination of employment.
Director
Compensation
This section describes the compensation payable to our
non-employee directors. None of our directors received any
compensation from us for his services as a director during the
year ended December 31, 2007.
Since joining our board of directors in February 2008,
Mr. Tracy Bahl, our Chairman, has been providing and
continues to provide consulting services and strategic advice to
us, in addition to serving as our Chairman. We pay Mr. Bahl
$150,000 per year as consideration for his services to us. In
addition, Mr. Bahl received an award of Grant B Units under
the EBS Equity Plan for his services as Chairman of the EBS
Master Board. Mr. Bahl’s Grant B Units vest in three
separate tranches on a quarterly basis over a four year period,
subject to his continued service with us. A portion of the first
tranche vested as of May 8, 2008, and the next two tranches
commence vesting on May 8, 2009 and May 8, 2010,
respectively.
In connection with this offering, we expect to adopt an outside
directors compensation program which may include an annual cash
retainer, meeting fees and equity awards under the 2008 Equity
Plan.
2008
Equity Plan
The purpose of the 2008 Equity Plan is to give us a competitive
edge in attracting, retaining and motivating employees,
directors and consultants and to provide us with an equity plan
for the award of incentive compensation directly related to
increases in our stockholder value.
Administration. Our Compensation Committee
will administer the 2008 Equity Plan, with authority to
determine the terms and conditions of awards and to adopt, alter
and repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to the plan
and those awards. The terms of awards will be reflected in
individual award agreements.
Eligibility. Any of our employees, directors,
officers or consultants or of our subsidiaries and affiliates
will be eligible for awards under our 2008 Equity Plan. Our
Compensation Committee has the authority to determine who will
be granted an award under the 2008 Equity Plan.
110
Number of Shares Authorized. The 2008 Equity
Plan provides for an initial aggregate
of shares
of Class A common stock to be available for awards. No more
than shares
of Class A common stock may be issued to any participant
during any single calendar year with respect to incentive stock
options, and no participant may be granted awards of options or
stock appreciation rights with respect to more
than shares
of Class A common stock in any one year. No more
than shares of Class A common
stock may be granted to any participant during any single
calendar year with respect to performance compensation awards in
any one performance period. The maximum amount payable as a cash
bonus to any participant for any single year during a
performance period is $ . If any
award is forfeited or otherwise terminates, expires or lapses
without being exercised, the number of shares subject to such
award will again be made available for future grants. If there
is any change in our corporate capitalization, the Compensation
Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or
adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under
the 2008 Equity Plan, the number of shares covered by awards
then outstanding, the limitations on awards set forth above, the
exercise price of outstanding options and other equitable
substitutions or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.
The 2008 Equity Plan will have a term of ten years and no awards
may be granted after that date.
Awards Available for Grant. The Compensation
Committee may grant awards of non-qualified stock options,
incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus
awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus
awards) or any combination of the foregoing.
Performance Compensation Awards. The
Compensation Committee may grant any award under the 2008 Equity
Plan in the form of a performance compensation award by
conditioning the vesting of the award or its payment on the
satisfaction of certain performance goals. The Compensation
Committee may establish these performance goals with reference
to one or more of the following (i) gross or net revenue,
earnings or income (before or after taxes); (ii) basic or
diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes);
(iii) gross or net profit or profit growth; (iv) net
operating profit (before or after taxes); (v) return
measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets,
capital, invested capital, equity or sales); (vi) cash flow
(including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash
flow and cash flow return on capital); (vii) earnings
before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization;
(viii) gross or net operating margins;
(ix) productivity ratios; (x) share price (including,
but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder
return); (xi) expense targets; (xii) operating
efficiency; (xiii) objective measures of customer
satisfaction; (xiv) working capital targets;
(xv) measures of economic value added;
(xvi) enterprise value; (xvii) sales;
(xviii) client or employee retention;
(xix) competitive market metrics; (xx) objective
measures of personal targets, goals or completion of projects;
or (xxi) any combination of the foregoing.
Transferability. Each award may be exercised
during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant
or, if permissible under applicable law, by the
participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not
be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Amendment. Our board of directors may amend,
suspend or terminate our 2008 Equity Plan at any time; however,
stockholder approval of amendments may be necessary if the law
so requires. No amendment, suspension or termination will
materially impair the rights of any participant without the
consent of the participant.
Change in Control. In the event of a change in
control (as defined in the 2008 Equity Plan), the Compensation
Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of
outstanding awards, provide for their substitution or assumption
and may cancel awards in exchange for payment of the value of
such awards. In addition, the Compensation Committee may
provide, pursuant to an award agreement or otherwise, that a
particular award will vest in whole or in part, in connection
with a change in control.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board
of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has
one or more executive officers who serve on our board of
directors or Compensation Committee.

each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than
5% of any class or series of our capital stock, and
|
|
|
•
|
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
|
The number of shares of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock outstanding and percentage of
beneficial ownership before this offering are based on the
number of shares and EBS Units to be issued and outstanding
prior to this offering after giving effect to the reorganization
transactions. See “Organizational Structure.” The
number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock and percentage of beneficial ownership after this
offering set forth below are based on the number of shares and
EBS Units to be issued and outstanding immediately after this
offering.
We intend to use approximately
$ million of the proceeds
from this offering, (or approximately
$ million if the underwriters
exercise their
over-allotment
option in full), to purchase EBS Units from HFCP Domestic,
H&F GP, H&F Capital Executives and H&F Capital
Associates. The beneficial ownership reflected in the tables
below after this offering reflects this application of proceeds
from this offering.
The amounts and percentages of Class A common stock and
Class B common stock beneficially owned are reported on the
basis of the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission governing the determination of beneficial ownership
of securities. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a
beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares
voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the
voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the
power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such
security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of
any securities of which that person has a right to acquire
beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules,
more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of
the same securities.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Fifth
Amended and Restated EBS Master LLC Limited Liability Company
Agreement
In connection with the reorganization transactions, the EBS
Post-IPO Members (including affiliates of H&F and certain
members of our senior management), EBS Master and we will enter
into the Fifth Amended and Restated EBS Master LLC Limited
Liability Company Agreement. As a result of the reorganization
transactions and in accordance with the terms of the EBS LLC
Agreement, we will, through EBS Master and its subsidiaries,
operate our business. As the only managing member of EBS Master,
we will have control over all of the affairs and decision making
of EBS Master. As such, we, through our officers and directors,
will be responsible for all operational and administrative
decisions of EBS Master and the day-to-day management EBS
Master’s and its subsidiaries’ business.
The holders of EBS Units, including us, will generally incur
U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their
proportionate share of any net taxable income of EBS Master. Net
profits and net losses of EBS Master will generally be allocated
to its members pro rata in accordance with the percentages of
their respective EBS Units, though certain non pro rata
adjustments will be made to reflect tax depreciation,
amortization and other allocations. To the extent permitted
under our Credit Agreements, the EBS LLC Agreement will provide
for cash distributions to its members if the taxable income of
EBS Master will give rise to taxable income for its members. In
accordance with the EBS LLC Agreement and assuming EBS Master is
permitted to do so under our Credit Agreements, EBS Master will
make cash distributions to the holders of its EBS Units,
including us, for purposes of funding their tax obligations in
respect of the income of EBS Master that is allocated to them.
Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on our
estimate of the net taxable income of EBS Master allocable to
such holder of EBS Units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal
to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal,
state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or
corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account
the nondeductibility of certain expenses and the character of
our income). In addition, to the extent permitted under our
Credit Agreements, EBS Master may make distributions to us
without pro rata distributions to other members in order to pay
(i) consideration, if any, for redemption, repurchase,
acquisition, cancellation or termination of our Class A
common stock or Class B common stock and (ii) payments
in respect of indebtedness, preferred stock, the tax receivable
agreements, overhead and certain other fees and expenses.
The EBS LLC Agreement will provide that, except as otherwise
determined by us, and, at any time we issue a share of our
Class A common stock or Class B common stock, other
than pursuant to an employee benefit plan, the net proceeds
received by us with respect to such share, if any, shall be
concurrently invested in EBS Master (unless such shares were
issued by us solely to fund our ongoing operations or pay our
expenses or other obligations) and EBS Master shall issue to us
one EBS Unit. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of our
Class A common stock or Class B common stock are
redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated for
cash, EBS Master shall redeem, repurchase, acquire, cancel or
terminate an equal number of EBS Units held by us, upon the same
terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A
common stock or Class B common stock are redeemed,
repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated.
In accordance with the terms of the EBS LLC Agreement, the
(i) H&F Continuing LLC Members will generally have the
right to transfer their EBS Units (and corresponding shares of
our Class C common stock or, after the conversion date,
Class D common stock) to EBS Master in exchange for shares
of our Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) on a one-for-one basis and
(ii) the EBS Equity Plan Members will generally have the
right to transfer their EBS Units (and corresponding shares of
our Class D common stock) to EBS Master in exchange for
shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis,
each subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock
splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The EBS Equity
Plan Members may only exchange their EBS Units (and
corresponding shares of our Class D common stock) for
shares of our Class A common stock if such EBS Units have
vested. As the EBS Post-IPO Members exchange their EBS Units,
our membership interests in EBS Master will be correspondingly
increased. In connection with any proposed exchange by an EBS
Post-IPO Member, we may, in our sole discretion, elect to
purchase and acquire the applicable EBS Units and corresponding
Class C common stock or Class D common stock by paying
cash in an amount equal to the fair market value (determined by
the 30-day
volume weighted average price of the shares of Class A
common
117
stock) the member would have received in the proposed exchange.
Unless we make such an election, we have no obligation to the
exchanging member or EBS Master with respect to the proposed
exchange.
Under the EBS LLC Agreement, EBS Master will indemnify all of
its members, including us, against any and all losses and
expenses related thereto incurred by reason of the fact that
such person was a member of EBS Master. In the event that losses
are incurred as a result of a member’s fraud or willful
misconduct, such member is not entitled to indemnification under
the EBS LLC Agreement.
EBS Master may be dissolved only upon the first to occur of
(i) the sale of substantially all of its assets, or
(ii) the voluntary agreement of all members. Upon
dissolution, EBS Master will be liquidated and the proceeds from
any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following
manner: (a) first, to creditors (including to the extent
permitted by law, creditors who are partners) in satisfaction of
the liabilities of EBS Master, (b) second, to establish
cash reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities and
(c) third, to the members in proportion of their interests
in EBS Master (other than to members holding unvested EBS Units
to the extent that their units do not vest as a result of the
event causing the dissolution).
Stockholders
Agreement
In connection with the reorganization transactions, we will
enter into the Stockholders Agreement with the General Atlantic
Equityholders, the H&F Equityholders and certain members of
our senior management, including Messrs. Lazenby, Newport,
Stuart, Stevens and Hardin. The Stockholders Agreement will
contain certain restrictions and priorities with respect to the
transfer of shares of our capital stock and will grant certain
persons registration rights. In addition, the Stockholders
Agreement will contain provisions related to the composition of
our board of directors and the committees of our board of
directors and our corporate governance, which are more fully
discussed under “Management — Corporate
Governance” and “Management — Board
Structure.”
Restrictions
on Transfers
Under the Stockholders Agreement, no group of Principal
Equityholders may transfer shares of our common stock if such
transfer would cause our Principal Equityholders to collectively
own less than 10% of our outstanding common stock without the
consent of us and the other group of Principal Equityholders. In
addition, neither group of our Principal Equityholders may
transfer shares of our common stock without the consent of the
other group of Principal Equityholders, if following the
transfer, the group of Principal Equityholders would own less
than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully
diluted basis. Under the Stockholders Agreement, without the
consent of us and the other group of Principal Equityholders,
neither group of Principal Equityholders will be permitted to
voluntarily convert their Class B common stock into
Class A common stock.
Priorities
in Transfer
Under the Stockholders Agreement, subject to certain limited
exceptions, the General Atlantic Equityholders and the H&F
Equityholders may only sell or transfer shares of our capital
stock in accordance with the following priorities:
|
|
|
|
•
|
first, in any proposed transfer by the General Atlantic
Equityholders or the H&F Equityholders, the General
Atlantic Equityholders and the H&F Equityholders will be
entitled to transfer their shares of our common stock on an
80%/20% basis (with the General Atlantic Equityholders selling
80% of our common stock and the H&F Equityholders selling
20% of our common stock in any such offering) until the
aggregate amount of shares of our common stock held by the
General Atlantic Equityholders equals the aggregate amount of
shares of our common stock held by the H&F Equityholders
(assuming that the H&F Continuing LLC Members exchange all
of their EBS Units (and corresponding shares of common stock)
for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis); and
|
|
|
•
|
second, after the transfer of shares in accordance with the
above, the General Atlantic Equityholders and the H&F
Equityholders will be entitled to transfer their shares of our
common stock on a pro rata basis.
|
These priorities in the Stockholders Agreement will terminate on
the earlier of the date that each of the General Atlantic
Equityholders and the H&F Equityholders (assuming that the
H&F Continuing LLC Members exchange
118
all of their EBS Units (and corresponding shares of common
stock) for shares of our common stock, on a one-for-one basis)
own less than 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock
or two years from the consummation of this offering. However,
once these transfer priorities terminate, each group of our
Principal Equityholders will have the right to participate in a
sale of our common stock on a 50/50 basis until such time as
there is no longer high vote common stock.
Registration
Rights
Under the Stockholders Agreement, beginning upon the earlier of
180 days after the consummation of this offering or the
early termination of the initial
180-day
underwriter
lock-up
period, each of the General Atlantic Equityholders, the H&F
Equityholders and the EBS Equity Plan Members will be entitled
to certain demand and piggyback registration rights. The General
Atlantic Equityholders may demand up to five registrations (one
of which was used for this offering) and the H&F
Equityholders may demand up to four registrations (registrations
to be effected under a registration statement on
Form S-3
are not counted as demand registrations unless the sale of
securities under the registration statement on
Form S-3
is a marketed underwritten firm commitment offering). We are not
required to comply with any such demand for registration if the
aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of
stock requested to be included in the registration is not
expected to exceed $100 million. Beginning 18 months
after the consummation of this offering, under certain
circumstances, the EBS Equity Plan Members will have two demand
rights to require us to file a shelf registration statement to
permit the resale of any shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon the exchange of EBS Units held by them, provided that we
will not be obligated to file a registration statement if we are
not eligible to use Form S-3 and the shelf registration
statement may be withdrawn by us 90 days after its effectiveness.
If the General Atlantic Equityholders, the H&F
Equityholders or the EBS Equity Plan Members makes a request for
registration, the non-requesting Principal Equityholders and EBS
Equity Plan Members will be entitled to piggyback registration
rights with respect to the request. If the registration
requested is in the form of an underwritten offering, and if the
managing underwriter of the offering determines that the number
of securities proposed to be offered would have an adverse
affect on the offering, the number of shares included in the
offering will be determined as follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
first, subject to the priorities discussed above under
“— Priorities in Transfer” shares offered by
any Principal Equityholder or EBS Equity Plan Member (pro rata,
based on the number of the registrable securities owned by the
requesting holder); and
|
|
|
•
|
second, shares offered by us or shares offered by any holder of
our common stock with a contractual right to include such shares
in the offering.
|
Each Principal Equityholder and EBS Equity Plan Member is also
entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to any
registration initiated by us or another stockholder or
stockholders after the consummation of this offering. If we or
another stockholder initiates a registration in the form of an
underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter of the
offering determines that the number of securities proposed to be
offered would have an adverse affect on the offering, then the
number of shares included in the offering shall be determined as
follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
first, shares offered by us for our own account (if we initiate
the offering) or shares offered by any holder of our common
stock with a contractual right to include such shares in the
offering on a first priority basis (if another stockholder or
stockholders initiates the offering);
|
|
|
•
|
second, subject to the priorities discussed above under
“— Priorities in Transfer” shares requested
to be included by the General Atlantic Equityholders, the
H&F Equityholders or the EBS Equity Plan Members (pro rata,
based on the number of the registrable securities owned by the
requesting holder); and
|
|
|
•
|
third, shares offered by us (if we do not initiate the offering)
or any holder of common stock with a contractual right to
include such shares in the offering.
|
General Atlantic is exercising a demand registration right in
connection with this offering. In any registration for which
registration rights are exercised, including this offering, we
have agreed to indemnify and pay certain expenses of the selling
stockholders who are party to the Stockholders Agreement that
participate in the offering.
119
Other
Provisions
Under the Stockholders Agreement, we will not become subject to
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law without
our Principal Equityholders’ consent.
In addition, we have agreed that the doctrine of “corporate
opportunity” will not apply against the General Atlantic
Equityholders and the H&F Equityholders in a manner that
would prohibit them from investing in competing businesses or
doing business with our clients and customers. See “Risk
Factors — We are controlled by our Principal
Equityholders whose interest in our business may be different
than yours, and certain statutory provisions afforded to
stockholders are not applicable to our company.”
Tax
Receivable Agreements
Prior to this offering, we and two of our subsidiaries have
purchased membership interests in EBS Master. Also, as described
under “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to use a portion of
the proceeds from this offering to purchase additional
membership interests in EBS Master from the H&F Continuing
LLC Members. The purchases of these membership interests
resulted, and will result in, tax basis adjustments to the
assets of EBS Master, and these basis adjustments have been
allocated to us and to two of our subsidiaries. In addition the
EBS Units (along with the corresponding shares of our
Class C common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class D common stock)) held by the H&F Continuing LLC
Members will be exchangeable in the future for shares of our
Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) and the EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class D common stock) held by
the EBS Equity Plan Members will be exchangeable in the future
for shares of our Class A common stock. These future
exchanges are likely to result in tax basis adjustments to the
assets of EBS Master, which adjustments would also be allocated
to us. Both the existing and the anticipated basis adjustments
are expected to reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise
be required to pay in the future.
We intend to enter into a tax receivable agreement with the Tax
Receivable Entity that will provide for the payment by us to the
Tax Receivable Entity of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if
any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or
franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after this
offering as a result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the purchases by us and our subsidiaries of membership
interests in EBS Master, (b) exchanges by the H&F
Continuing LLC Members of EBS Units (along with the
corresponding shares of our Class C common stock (or, after
the conversion date, Class D common stock)) for shares of
our Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) or (c) payments under the tax
receivable agreement to the Tax Receivable Entity; (ii) tax
benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as
a result of the tax receivable agreement; and (iii) net
operating loss carryovers from prior periods (or portions
thereof).
We will also enter into a tax receivable agreement with the EBS
Equity Plan Members which will provide for the payment by us to
the EBS Equity Plan Members of 85% of the amount of the cash
savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income
tax or franchise tax that we actually realize in periods after
this offering as a result of (i) any
step-up in
tax basis in EBS Master’s assets resulting from
(a) the exchanges by the EBS Equity Plan Members of EBS
Units (along with the corresponding shares of our Class D
common stock) for shares of our Class A common stock or
(b) payments under this tax receivable agreement to the EBS
Equity Plan Members and (ii) tax benefits related to
imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of this tax
receivable agreement.
The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and
timing of any payments under these agreements, will vary
depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of
exchanges by the H&F Continuing LLC Members or the EBS
Equity Plan Members, as applicable, the price of our
Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, the
extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount and
timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the
tax rate then applicable, our use of net operating loss
carryovers and the portion of our payments under the tax
receivable agreements constituting imputed interest or
amortizable basis. We expect that, as a result of the amount of
the increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible
assets of EBS Master, assuming no material changes in the
relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient taxable income to
realize in full the potential tax benefit described above,
future payments under the tax receivable agreements in respect
of the purchases will aggregate $
and range from approximately $ to
$ per year over the next
15 years (or $ and range from
approximately $ to
$ per year over the next
15 years if the underwriters exercise in full their option
120
to purchase additional Class A common stock). Future
payments under the tax receivable agreements in respect of
subsequent acquisitions of EBS Units would be in addition to
these amounts and would, if such exchanges took place at the
initial public offering price, be of comparable magnitude.
In addition, although we are not aware of any issue that would
cause the IRS to challenge the tax basis increases or other
benefits arising under the tax receivable agreements, the Tax
Receivable Entity and the EBS Equity Plan Members will not
reimburse us for any payments previously made if such basis
increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed, except
that excess payments made to the Tax Receivable Entity or the
EBS Equity Plan Members will be netted against payments
otherwise to be made, if any, after our determination of such
excess. As a result, in such circumstances, we could make
payments under the tax receivable agreements that are greater
than our actual cash tax savings.
Finally, because we are a holding company with no operations of
our own, our ability to make payments under the tax receivable
agreements is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to
make distributions to us. Our credit agreements restrict the
ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us, which
could affect our ability to make payments under the tax
receivable agreements. To the extent that we are unable to make
payments under the tax receivable agreements for any reason,
such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until
paid.
Indemnification
Agreements
We expect to enter into an indemnification agreement with each
of our executive officers and directors that provides, in
general, that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent
permitted by law in connection with their service to us or on
our behalf.
Agreements
with HLTH Corporation and its Affiliates
The following section contains summaries of certain agreements
we entered into with HLTH, our former parent company.
Transition
Services Agreement
In connection with the 2006 Transaction, we entered into a
transition services agreement with HLTH. Under the transition
services agreement, HLTH was obligated to provide us with
certain administrative services, including payroll, accounting,
tax, treasury, contract and litigation support, real estate
vendor management and human resource services, as well as
information technology support. HLTH’s obligations to
provide us with services under the agreement terminated on
December 31, 2007. In addition, under the agreement, we
were obligated to provide HLTH with certain administrative
services, including telecommunication infrastructure and
management services, data center support, purchasing and
procurement and certain other services. Our obligation to
provide services under the agreement will terminate on
September 15, 2008.
Amended
and Restated Business Services Agreement
We and our subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated
Business Services Agreement with WebMD Health Corp.
(“WHC”), and certain of its subsidiaries, in
connection with the 2008 Transaction, with respect to the
development of certain applications that can be used in our
business and the integration of certain data we collect in
providing our services with applications offered by WHC. This
agreement will terminate on September 25, 2011.
Amended
and Restated Data License Agreement
We and our subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated
Data License Agreement with HLTH in connection with the 2008
Transaction, under which we are required to provide HLTH with
certain de-identified data that we collect in providing our
solutions for use in certain solutions offered by HLTH. Under
the agreement, HLTH may be required to pay us a royalty based on
the revenues it earns from use of the de-identified data we
provide. The agreement has an initial term of ten years from the
date of execution and automatically renews for an additional
five year term unless terminated by either party prior to
extension.
121
Patent
License Agreement
We and our subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated
patent license with WHC in connection with the 2008 Transaction.
Under this license, we granted WHC a non-exclusive, worldwide,
perpetual, royalty-free license to use and practice the
inventions claimed in a certain patent application we filed that
describes a method for determining a patient’s financial
liability. Under this license, WHC has the right to sublicense
its rights to third parties, other than to our competitors. This
license agreement will remain in effect perpetually unless it is
terminated due to certain uncured breaches by WHC. We may also
terminate the license agreement upon a change of control of WHC
involving one of our competitors.
Other
Transactions with HLTH
Prior to November 2006, we entered into various arrangements and
agreements with HLTH and its other subsidiaries. These
arrangements and agreements include:
|
|
|
|
•
|
providing patient statement, claims processing and related
printing services to a subsidiary of HLTH. This arrangement
resulted in revenue of approximately $45.0 million and
$32.7 million, and rebate expense of approximately
$9.1 million and $6.0 million, to us during the year
ended December 31, 2005 and the period from January 1,
2006 to September 14, 2006 (the date on which HLTH sold
this subsidiary), respectively.
|
|
|
•
|
revenue sharing agreements with a subsidiary of HLTH for shared
customers. These agreements resulted in the allocation of
revenue of approximately $2.1 million and
$1.0 million, and expenses of approximately
$1.3 million and $913,000, to us during the year ended
December 31, 2005 and the period from January 1, 2006
to September 14, 2006 (the date on which HLTH sold this
subsidiary), respectively.
|
|
|
•
|
providing certain printing services to HLTH and its
subsidiaries. For providing these services, we earned revenues
of approximately $827,000 and $1,247,000 from HLTH and its
subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2005 and
the period from January 1, 2006 to November 16, 2006
(the date of the 2006 Transaction), respectively.
|
|
|
•
|
a lease agreement with HLTH for the lease of office space. We
paid HLTH $48,000 under this lease during 2007.
|
|
|
•
|
an agreement with HLTH under which we reimbursed HLTH for fees
and interest costs resulting from letters of credit issued in
the name of HLTH for our benefit. During 2007, we paid HLTH
approximately $63,000 under this agreement. These letters of
credit expired in 2007.
|
In addition, we have entered into an arrangement with WHC under
which we have access to WHC’s physician directory and
Personal Health Manager services and, for a transition period
after the 2006 Transaction, received website hosting services
from WHC. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the
period from January 1, 2006 to November 16, 2006, the
period from November 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and
the year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred expenses of
approximately $417,000, $415,000, $40,000 and $430,000,
respectively, under this arrangement.
Related
Party Transactions Policies and Procedures
Upon the consummation of this offering, we will adopt a written
Related Person Transaction Policy (the “policy”),
which will set forth our policy with respect to the review,
approval, ratification and disclosure of all related person
transactions by our Audit Committee. In accordance with the
policy, our Audit Committee will have overall responsibility for
the implementation and compliance with this policy.
For the purposes of the policy, a “related person
transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship
(or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or
relationships) in which we were, are or will be a participant
and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any
related person (as defined in the policy) had, has or will have
a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person
transaction” does not include (i) any employment
relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and
any related compensation resulting solely from that employment
relationship or (ii) any director compensation which, in
each case, has been reviewed and approved by our board of
directors or Compensation Committee.
122
Our policy will require that notice of a proposed related person
transaction be provided to our legal department prior to
entering into such transaction. If our legal department
determines that such transaction is a related person
transaction, the proposed transaction will be submitted to our
Audit Committee for consideration at its next meeting. Under the
policy, our Audit Committee may only approve those related
person transactions that are in, or not inconsistent with, our
best interests. In the event we become aware of a related person
transaction that has not been previously reviewed, approved or
ratified under our policy and that is ongoing or is completed,
the transaction will be submitted to the Audit Committee so that
it may determine whether to ratify, rescind or terminate the
related person transaction.
Our policy will also provide that the Audit Committee review
certain previously approved or ratified related person
transactions that are ongoing to determine whether the related
person transaction remains in our best interests and the best
interests of our stockholders. Additionally, we will also make
periodic inquiries of directors and executive officers with
respect to any potential related person transaction of which
they may be a party or of which they may be aware.
123
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
Capital
Stock
In connection with the reorganization transactions, we expect to
amend and restate our certificate of incorporation to provide
that our authorized capital stock will consist
of shares
of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, shares
of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, shares
of Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, shares
of Class D common stock, par value $0.01 per share
and shares
of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Immediately following the reorganization transactions, we will
have holders
of record of our Class A common
stock, holders
of record of our Class B common
stock, holders
of record of our Class C common stock
and
holders of record of our Class D common stock. Of the
authorized shares of our capital
stock shares
of our Class A common stock will be issued and
outstanding,
shares of our Class B common stock will be issued and
outstanding,
shares of our Class C common stock will be issued and
outstanding, shares
of our Class D common stock will be issued and outstanding
and no shares of preferred stock will be issued and outstanding.
After consummation of this offering and the application of the
net proceeds from this offering, we expect to
have shares
of our Class A common stock
outstanding, shares
of our Class B common stock
outstanding, shares
of our Class C common stock
outstanding, shares
of our Class D common stock outstanding and no shares of
preferred stock outstanding.
Common
Stock
Voting. The holders of our Class A common
stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and
Class D common stock will vote together as a single class
on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or
approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain
provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences
or special rights of the Class B common stock, Class C
common stock or Class D common stock so as to affect them
adversely, which amendments must be approved by a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares
affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as
otherwise required by applicable law.
Holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one
vote on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or
approval.
Holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 10
votes on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or
approval.
Holders of our Class C common stock are entitled to 10
votes on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or
approval.
Holders of our Class D common stock are entitled to one
vote on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or
approval.
Upon completion of this offering and the application of the net
proceeds from this offering, our Principal Equityholders will
control approximately % of the
combined voting power of our common stock. Accordingly, our
Principal Equityholders can exercise significant influence over
our business policies and affairs and can control any action
requiring the general approval of our stockholders, including
the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and the approval of mergers or sales of substantially
all of our assets. The Principal Equityholders also have the
power to nominate members to our board of directors under the
Stockholders Agreement and each group of Principal Equityholders
has agreed to vote for the others nominees. The concentration of
ownership and voting power of our Principal Equityholders may
also delay, defer or even prevent an acquisition by a third
party or other change of control of our company and may make
some transactions more difficult or impossible without the
support of our Principal Equityholders, even if such events are
in the best interests of minority stockholders. As a result of
their ownership of our Class B common stock and
Class C common stock, our Principal Equityholders will
continue to be able to control all matters submitted to our
stockholders for
124
their vote or approval even if they come to own significantly
less than 50% of the shares of our outstanding common stock.
Dividends. The holders of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive
dividends when, as, and if declared by our board of directors
out of legally available funds. Under our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, dividends may not be declared in
respect of Class B common stock unless they are declared in
the same amount in respect of shares Class A common stock,
and vice versa. With respect to stock dividends, holders of
Class B common stock must receive Class B common stock
while holders of Class A common stock must receive
Class A common stock.
The holders of our Class C common stock and Class D
common stock will not have any right to receive dividends other
than dividends consisting of shares of our (i) Class C
common stock paid proportionally with respect to each
outstanding share of our Class C common stock and
(ii) Class D common stock paid proportionally with
respect to each outstanding share of our Class D common
stock.
Liquidation or Dissolution. Upon our
liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our Class A
common stock and Class B common stock will be entitled to
share ratably in those of our assets that are legally available
for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities
and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred
stock then outstanding. Other than their par value, the holders
of our Class C common stock and Class D common stock
will not have any right to receive a distribution upon a
liquidation or dissolution of our company.
Conversion, Transferability and
Exchange. Subject to the provisions of our
Stockholders Agreement, our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that each share of our Class B
common stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the
holder, into one share of Class A common stock. Subject to
certain limited exceptions, each share of our Class B
common stock will automatically convert into one share of
Class A common stock immediately prior to any sale, pledge
or other transfer of such share by a Principal Equityholder.
Each share of our Class C common stock will automatically
convert into one share of our Class D common stock upon
conversion of all shares of our Class B common stock into
Class A common stock. Shares of our Class A common
stock and Class D common stock are not subject to any
conversion right.
Subject to the terms of the EBS LLC Agreement (i) the
H&F Continuing LLC Members may exchange their EBS Units
(and corresponding shares of our Class C common stock or,
after the conversion date, Class D common stock) with EBS
Master for shares of our Class B common stock (or, after
the conversion date, Class A common stock) and
(ii) the EBS Equity Plan Members may exchange their vested
EBS Units (and corresponding shares of our Class D common
stock) with EBS Master for shares of our Class A common
stock. Each such exchange will be on a one-for-one basis,
subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock
splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. In connection
with any proposed exchange by an EBS Post-IPO Member, we may, in
our sole discretion, elect to acquire the applicable EBS Units
and corresponding Class C common stock or Class D
common stock by paying cash in an amount equal to the fair
market value (determined by the
30-day
volume weighted average price of the shares of Class A
common stock) the member would have received in the proposed
exchange.
Other Provisions. None of the Class A
common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common
stock or Class D common stock has any pre-emptive or other
subscription rights. There will be no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Class A common stock,
Class B common stock, Class C common stock or
Class D common stock. Upon consummation of this offering,
all outstanding shares of Class A common stock,
Class B common stock, Class C common stock and
Class D common stock will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
At such time as no EBS Units remain exchangeable into shares of
our Class A common stock or Class B common stock, our
Class D common stock will be cancelled. At such time as no
EBS Units remain exchangeable into shares of our Class B
common stock, our Class C common stock will be cancelled.
Preferred
Stock
After the consummation of this offering, we will be authorized
to issue up
to shares
of preferred stock. Our board of directors will be authorized,
subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law and our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to determine
the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, including
125
whether the shares of preferred stock will be issued in one or
more series, the number of shares to be included in each series
and the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the
shares. Our board of directors also will be authorized to
designate any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the
shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and
may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders
of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock,
Class C common stock and Class D common stock which
could have an adverse impact on the market price of our
Class A common stock. We have no current plan to issue any
shares of preferred stock following the consummation of this
offering.
Corporate
Opportunity
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that the doctrine of “corporate opportunity”
will not apply against the General Atlantic Equityholders and
the H&F Equityholders in a manner that would prohibit them
from investing in competing businesses or doing business with
our clients or customers. See “Risk
Factors — We are controlled by our Principal
Equityholders whose interest in our business may be different
than yours, and certain statutory provisions afforded to
stockholders are not applicable to our company.”
Certain
Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law and Statutory
Provisions
The provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws
and of the Delaware General Corporation Law summarized below may
have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a
tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your
best interest, including an attempt that might result in your
receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares.
Directors’
Liability; Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that a director will not be personally liable to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except:
|
|
|
|
•
|
for any breach of the duty of loyalty;
|
|
|
•
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law;
|
|
|
•
|
for liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (relating to unlawful dividends, stock
repurchases or stock redemptions); or
|
|
|
•
|
for any transaction from which the director derived any improper
personal benefit.
|
This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or those
of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an
injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a
director’s duty of care. The provisions will not alter the
liability of directors under federal securities laws. In
addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and by-laws will provide that we indemnify each director and the
officers, employees, and agents determined by our board of
directors to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the
State of Delaware.
Special
Meetings of Stockholders
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only
by the chairman or by a majority of the members of our board.
Stockholders will not be permitted to call a special meeting of
stockholders, to require that the chairman call such a special
meeting, or to require that our board request the calling of a
special meeting of stockholders.
Stockholder
Action; Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
and Director Nominations
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that stockholders may not take action by written
consent, but may only take action at duly called annual or
special meetings, unless the action to be effected
126
by written consent and the taking of such action by written
consent have expressly been approved in advance by the board. In
addition, our
by-laws will
establish advance notice procedures for:
|
|
|
|
•
|
stockholders to nominate candidates for election as a
director; and
|
|
|
•
|
stockholders to propose topics for consideration at
stockholders’ meetings.
|
Stockholders must notify our corporate secretary in writing
prior to the meeting at which the matters are to be acted upon
or directors are to be elected. The notice must contain the
information specified in our by-laws including, but not limited
to, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our
common stock or derivative securities that have a value
associated with our common stock held by the proposing
stockholder and its associates and any voting or similar
agreement the proposing stockholder has entered into with
respect to our common stock. To be timely, the notice must be
received at our corporate headquarters not less than
90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first
anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting
of stockholders. If the annual meeting is advanced by more than
30 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from the
anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if
no annual meeting was held in the preceding year or for the
first annual meeting following this offering, notice by the
stockholder, to be timely, must be received not earlier than the
120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than
the later of the 90th day prior to the annual meeting or
the 10th day following the day on which we notify
stockholders of the date of the annual meeting, either by mail
or other public disclosure. In the case of a special meeting of
stockholders called to elect directors, the stockholder notice
must be received not earlier than 120 days prior to the
special meeting and not later than the later of the
90th day prior to the special meeting or 10th day
following the day on which we notify stockholders of the date of
the special meeting, either by mail or other public disclosure.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the number of
directors to be elected to the board at an annual meeting is
increased and we do not make any public announcement naming the
nominees for the additional directorships at least 100 days
before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual
meeting, a stockholder notice of nomination shall also be
considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the
additional directorships, if it is delivered not later than the
close of business on the 10th day following the day on
which such public announcement is first made. These provisions
may preclude some stockholders from bringing matters before the
stockholders at an annual or special meeting or from nominating
candidates for director at an annual or special meeting.
Directors
Upon consummation of this offering, our board of directors will
initially have eight members. We expect to increase our board of
directors to nine directors after this offering. Each of our
directors will serve for a term of one year. Directors hold
office until the annual meeting of stockholders and until their
successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our board of
directors may elect a director to fill a vacancy, subject to the
provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, including vacancies
created by the expansion of the board of directors, upon the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then
in office.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
by-laws will not provide for cumulative voting in the election
of directors.
Amendment
of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
662/3%
of the voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors is required to
amend the following provisions of our certificate of
incorporation:
|
|
|
|
•
|
provisions relating to the number of directors and the
appointment of directors upon an increase in the number of
directors or vacancy on the board of directors;
|
|
|
•
|
the provisions requiring a
662/3%
stockholder vote for the amendment of certain provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and for the adoption, amendment or
repeal of our by-laws; and
|
|
|
•
|
the provisions relating to the restrictions on stockholder
actions by written consent.
|
127
In addition, the board of directors will be permitted to alter
our by-laws without obtaining stockholder approval.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions of Delaware Law.
In general, section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law prevents an interested stockholder, which is defined
generally as a person owning 15% or more of the
corporation’s outstanding voting stock, of a Delaware
corporation from engaging in a business combination (as defined
therein) for three years following the date that person became
an interested stockholder unless various conditions are
satisfied. Under our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, we have opted out of the provisions of
section 203.

SHARES
AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
Class A common stock. We cannot make any prediction as to
the effect, if any, that sales of Class A common stock or
the availability of Class A common stock for sale will have
on the market price of our Class A common stock. The market
price of our Class A common stock could decline because of
the sale of a large number of shares of our Class A common
stock or the perception that such sales could occur. These
factors could also make it more difficult to raise funds through
future offerings of Class A common stock. See “Risk
Factors — Risks Related to this Offering and Our
Class A common stock — Substantial future
sales of shares of our Class A common stock in the public
market could cause our stock price to fall.”
Sale of
Restricted Shares
Upon consummation of this offering, we will
have shares
of Class A common stock outstanding,
excluding shares
of Class A common stock underlying outstanding options,
assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to
purchase additional shares and assuming that all shares of our
outstanding Class B common stock are converted into
Class A common stock. Of these shares,
the shares
sold in this offering
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their option in full) will be
freely tradable without further restriction under the Securities
Act, except that any shares purchased by our affiliates, as that
term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may
generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of
Rule 144 described below. As defined in Rule 144, an
affiliate of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by
or is under common control with the issuer. Upon completion of
this offering,
approximately
of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock
(including shares of our Class A common stock that may be
issued upon conversion of our Class B common stock) will be
deemed “restricted securities,” as that term is
defined under Rule 144.
In addition, upon consummation of the offering, the H&F
Continuing LLC Members will own an aggregate
of
EBS Units
and shares
of our Class C common stock and the Equity Plan Members
will own an aggregate
of EBS
Units
and shares
of our Class D common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
EBS LLC Agreement and our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, the H&F Continuing LLC Members could from
time to time exchange their EBS Units (and corresponding shares
of our Class C common stock or, after the conversion date,
Class D common stock) with EBS Master for shares of our
Class B common stock (or, after the conversion date,
Class A common stock) on a one-for-one basis and the EBS
Equity Plan Members could exchange the EBS Units (and
corresponding shares of Class D common stock) with EBS
Master for shares of our Class A common stock on a
one-for-one basis. In connection with any proposed exchange by
an EBS Post-IPO Member, we may, in our sole discretion, elect to
acquire the applicable EBS Units and corresponding Class C
common stock or Class D common stock by paying cash in an
amount equal to the fair market value (determined by the
30-day
volume weighted average price of the shares of Class A
common stock) the member would have received in the proposed
exchange. EBS Units held by the EBS Equity Plan Members may only
be exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock if
their EBS Units have vested. Shares of our Class A common
stock issuable to the EBS Post-IPO Members upon an exchange of
EBS Units and the shares of Class A common stock that may
be issued to the H&F Continuing LLC Members upon the
conversion of Class B common stock would be considered
“restricted securities,” as that term is defined in
Rule 144.
Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if
they qualify for an exemption from registration under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which rules are
summarized below, or any other applicable exemption under the
Securities Act. Immediately following the consummation of this
offering, the holders of
approximately shares
of our Class A common stock will be entitled to dispose of
their shares following the expiration of an initial
180-day
underwriter
“lock-up”
period pursuant to the holding period, volume and other
restrictions of Rule 144
(or shares
if the underwriters exercise their option in full). The
underwriters are entitled to waive these
lock-up
provisions at their discretion prior to the expiration dates of
such lock-up
agreements.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not
deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the
three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at
least six months (including any period
129
of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders)
would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the
availability of current public information about us. A
non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one
year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to
the provisions of Rule 144.
A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed
to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned
restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at
least six months would be entitled to sell within any
three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our
Class A common stock or the average weekly trading volume
of our Class A common stock reported through the New York
Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding such
sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale
provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current
public information about us.
Options/Equity
Awards
We intend to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act to register
approximately shares
of Class A common stock reserved for issuance or sale under
our 2008 Equity Plan. We expect to grant options to
purchase shares
of our Class A common stock
and restricted
stock units (each of which will represent the right to receive a
share of our Class A common stock upon vesting) under our 2008
Equity Plan in connection with this offering. Shares issued
upon the exercise of stock options after the effective date of
the registration statement will be eligible for resale in the
public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144
limitations applicable to affiliates and the
lock-up
agreements described below.
Lock-up
Agreements
Our executive officers, directors, Principal Equityholders and
certain of our other stockholders have agreed that, for a period
of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, they will
not, without the prior written consent of Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs &
Co., UBS Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the
“Representatives”), dispose of or hedge any shares of
our Class A common stock or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our Class A common stock, subject to
certain exceptions.
Immediately following the consummation of this offering,
stockholders subject to
lock-up
agreements will
hold shares
of our Class A common stock (assuming the EBS Post-IPO
Members exchange all their EBS Units (and corresponding shares
of our Class C common stock or Class D common stock)
for shares of our Class A common stock or Class B
common stock, as applicable and the conversion of all
Class B common stock into Class A common stock),
representing approximately % of our
then outstanding shares of Class A common stock, or
approximately % if the underwriters
exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full.
We have agreed not to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of our Class A common stock during the
180-day
period following the date of this prospectus. We may, however,
grant awards under the 2008 Equity Plan and issue shares of
Class A common stock upon the exercise of outstanding
options under our existing equity incentive plans, and we may
issue or sell Class A common stock in connection with an
acquisition or business combination (subject to a specified
maximum amount) as long as the acquiror of such Class A
common stock agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations
and restrictions of our
lock-up
agreement.
The 180-day
restricted period described in the preceding paragraphs will be
automatically extended if (i) during the last 17 days
of the
180-day
restricted period we issue an earnings release or announce
material news or a material event relating to us occurs or
(ii) prior to the expiration of the
180-day
restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings
results during the
15-day
period beginning on the last day of the
180-day
restricted period, in which case the restrictions described in
the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the
expiration of the
18-day
period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the
announcement of the material news or material event.
Registration
Rights
Our Stockholders Agreement grants registration rights to our
Principal Equityholders and the EBS Equity Plan Members. Under
certain circumstances, these persons can require us to file
registrations statements that permit them to re-sell their
shares. For more information, see “Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions — Stockholders
Agreement — Registration Rights.”

MATERIAL
U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR
NON-U.S.
HOLDERS
The following is a general discussion of the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock by a
Non-U.S. Holder.
This summary assumes that our Class A common stock is held
as a capital asset (generally, for investment). For purposes of
this discussion, a
Non-U.S. Holder
is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is
treated for U.S. federal tax purposes as:
|
|
|
|
•
|
a non-resident alien individual;
|
|
|
•
|
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or
any state or political subdivision thereof;
|
|
|
•
|
an estate, other than an estate the income of which is subject
to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its
source; or
|
|
|
•
|
a trust, other than a trust that (i) is subject to the
primary supervision of a court within the United States and
which has one or more United States fiduciaries who have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or
(ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United
States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States
person.
|
For purposes of this discussion, a
Non-U.S. Holder
does not include a partnership (including for this purpose any
entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes). If a partnership or other pass-through
entity is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock,
the tax treatment of a partner or other owner will generally
depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the
activities of the entity. If you are a partner (or other owner)
of a pass-through entity that acquires our Class A common
stock, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax
consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our
Class A common stock. Also, it is important to note that
the rules for determining whether an individual is a
non-resident alien for income tax purposes differ from those
applicable for estate tax purposes.
This discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all of
the possible tax consequences of such transactions and does not
address all tax considerations that might be relevant to a
Non-U.S. Holder
in light of its particular circumstances or to
Non-U.S. Holders
that may be subject to special treatment under United States
federal tax laws. Furthermore, this summary does not address
estate and gift tax consequences (except to the extent
specifically provided herein) or tax consequences under any
state, local or foreign laws.
The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. judicial
decisions, administrative pronouncements and existing and
proposed Treasury regulations, all as in effect as of the date
hereof. All of the preceding authorities are subject to change,
possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in
U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those
discussed below. We have not requested, and will not request, a
ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences described below, and as a result there
can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or
challenge any of the conclusions we have reached and describe
herein.
The following discussion is for general information only and
is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal
or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of our
Class A common stock and no opinion or representation with
respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any
such holder or prospective holder is made. Prospective
purchasers are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the
particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state
and local, and applicable foreign tax laws of the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.
Distributions
Distributions of cash or property that we pay in respect of our
Class A common stock will constitute dividends for
U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from
our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined
under U.S. federal income tax principles). Except as
described below under “ — U.S. Trade or
Business Income,” a
Non-U.S. Holder
generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax
at a 30% rate, or at a reduced rate prescribed by an applicable
income tax treaty, on any dividends received in respect of our
Class A common
131
stock. If the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and
accumulated earnings and profits, such excess first will be
treated as a return of capital to the extent of the
Non-U.S. Holder’s
tax basis in our Class A common stock, and thereafter will
be treated as capital gain. However, except to the extent that
we elect (or the paying agent or other intermediary through
which a
Non-U.S. Holder
holds our Class A common stock elects) otherwise, we (or
the intermediary) must generally withhold on the entire
distribution, in which case the
Non-U.S. Holder
would be entitled to a refund from the IRS for the withholding
tax on the portion of the distribution that exceeded our current
and accumulated earnings and profits. In order to obtain a
reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an
applicable income tax treaty, a
Non-U.S. Holder
will be required to provide a properly executed IRS
Form W-8BEN
(or successor form) certifying such stockholder’s
entitlement to benefits under the treaty. If a
Non-U.S. Holder
is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding
tax under an income tax treaty, the
Non-U.S. Holder
may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by
filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS.
Non-U.S. Holders
are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding possible
entitlement to benefits under an income tax treaty.
Sale,
Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Class A Common
Stock
A
Non-U.S. Holder
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or
withholding tax in respect of any gain on a sale, exchange or
other disposition of our Class A common stock unless:
|
|
|
|
•
|
the gain is U.S. trade or business income, in which case,
such gain will be taxed as described in
“— U.S. Trade or Business Income,”
below;
|
|
|
•
|
the
Non-U.S. Holder
is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 or
more days in the taxable year of the disposition and certain
other conditions are met, in which case the
Non-U.S. Holder
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30%
(or a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty) on the amount
by which certain capital gains allocable to U.S. sources
exceed certain capital losses allocable to
U.S. sources; or
|
|
|
•
|
we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding
corporation” (a “USRPHC”) under section 897
of the Code at any time during the period (the “applicable
period”) that is the shorter of the five-year period ending
on the date of the disposition and the Non-US. Holder’s
holding period for our Class A common stock, in which case,
subject to the exception set forth in the second sentence of the
next paragraph, such gain will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax in the same manner as U.S. trade or business
income.
|
In general, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value
of its “U.S. real property interests” equals or
exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide
real property interests and its other assets used or held for
use in a trade or business. In the event that we are determined
to be a USRPHC, gain will not be subject to tax as
U.S. trade or business income under section 897 of the
Code if a
Non-U.S. Holder’s
holdings (direct and indirect) at all times during the
applicable period constituted 5% or less of our Class A
common stock, provided that our Class A common stock were
regularly traded on an established securities market during such
period. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not
anticipate becoming in the future, a USRPHC for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.
U.S.
Trade or Business Income
For purposes of this discussion, dividend income and gain on the
sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A
common stock will be considered to be “U.S. trade or
business income” if (A) (i) such income or gain is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States by the
Non-U.S. Holder
and (ii) if the
Non-U.S. Holder
is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty with the
United States, such income or gain is attributable to a
permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a
fixed base) that the
Non-U.S. Holder
maintains in the United States or (B) we are or have been a
USRPHC at any time during the applicable period (subject to the
exception set forth above in the second paragraph of
“ — Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition
of our Class A Common Stock”). Generally,
U.S. trade or business income is not subject to
U.S. federal withholding tax (provided certain
certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied,
including providing a properly executed IRS
Form W-8ECI
(or successor form)); instead, such income is subject to
U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at regular
U.S. federal income tax rates (in the same manner as
a U.S. person).
132
Any U.S. trade or business income received by a foreign
corporation may also be subject to a “branch profits
tax” at a 30% rate, or at a lower rate prescribed by an
applicable income tax treaty.
U.S.
Federal Estate Tax
An individual
Non-U.S. Holder
who is treated as the owner of or has made certain lifetime
transfers of an interest in our Class A common stock will
be required to include the value thereof in such
individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax
purposes, and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax
unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
Prospective individual
Non-U.S. Holders
are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the potential
U.S. federal estate tax consequences with respect to our
Class A common stock.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax
We must annually report to the IRS and to each
Non-U.S. Holder
any dividend income that is subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax, or that is exempt from such withholding
pursuant to an income tax treaty. Copies of these information
returns may also be made available under the provisions of a
specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the
country in which a
Non-U.S. Holder
resides. Under certain circumstances, the Code imposes a backup
withholding obligation on certain reportable payments. Dividends
paid to a
Non-U.S. Holder
of our Class A common stock will generally be exempt from
backup withholding if the
Non-U.S. Holder
provides a properly executed IRS
Form W-8BEN
(or successor form) or otherwise establish an exemption and we
do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the
stockholder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of such
other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.
The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of our
Class A common stock to or through the U.S. office of
any broker (U.S. or
non-U.S.)
will be subject to information reporting and possible backup
withholding unless the stockholder certifies as to such
stockholder’s
non-U.S. status
under penalties of perjury or otherwise establish an exemption
and the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know
that the stockholder is a U.S. person or that the
conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.
The payment of proceeds from the disposition of our Class A
common stock to or through a
non-U.S. office
of a
non-U.S. broker
will not be subject to information reporting or backup
withholding unless the
non-U.S. broker
has certain types of relationships with the United States (a
“U.S. related financial intermediary”). In the
case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of our
Class A common stock to or through a
non-U.S. office
of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a
U.S. related financial intermediary, the Treasury
regulations require information reporting (but not backup
withholding) on the payment unless the broker has documentary
evidence in its files that the owner is a
Non-U.S. Holder
and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary. Holders of our
Class A common stock are urged to consult their tax advisor
on the application of information reporting and backup
withholding in light of their particular circumstances.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts
withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
stockholder will be refunded or credited against such
stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if
any, provided that the required information is furnished to the
IRS.

The underwriters are offering the shares of Class A common
stock subject to their acceptance of the shares from us and
subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that
the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and
accept delivery of the shares of Class A common stock
offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of
certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other
conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for
all of the shares of Class A common stock offered by this
prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the
underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares
covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option
described below.
The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares
of Class A common stock directly to the public at the
public offering price listed on the cover page of this
prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that
represents a concession not in excess of
$ a share under the public
offering price. Any underwriter may allow, and such dealers may
reallow, a concession not in excess of
$ a share to other underwriters or
to certain dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of
Class A common stock, the offering price and other selling
terms may from time to time be varied by the representatives.
We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for
30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up
to additional
shares of Class A common stock and the selling stockholders
have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for
30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to
an aggregate of additional
shares of Class A common stock, each at the public offering
price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less
underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may
exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of
the shares of Class A common stock offered by this
prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, each
underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the
additional shares of Class A common stock as the number
listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding
table bears to the total number of shares of Class A common
stock listed next to the names of all underwriters in the
preceding table. If the underwriters’ option is exercised
in full, the total price to the public would be

that, in the event that either (1) during the last
17 days of the restricted period, we issue an earnings
release or material news or a material event relating to us
occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the restricted
period, we announce that we will release earnings results during
the 16-day
period beginning on the last day of the applicable restricted
period, the
“lock-up”
restrictions described above will, subject to limited
exceptions, continue to apply until the expiration of the
18-day
period beginning on the earnings release or the occurrence of
the material news or material event
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the
shares of Class A common stock. The initial public offering
price will be determined by negotiations among us and the
representative of the underwriters. Among the factors to be
considered in determining the initial public offering price will
be the future prospects of us and our industry in general and
our sales, earnings and certain other financial operating
information in recent periods, and the price-earnings ratios,
price-sales ratios, market prices of securities and certain
financial and operating information of companies engaged in
activities similar to us. The estimated initial public offering
price range set forth on the cover page of this preliminary
prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions
and other factors.
We intend to apply to have the Class A common stock
approved for quotation on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol
“ .”
In order to facilitate the offering of the Class A common
stock, the underwriters may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
Class A common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may
sell
136
more shares than they are obligated to purchase under the
underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale
is covered if the short position is no greater than the number
of shares available for purchase by the underwriters under the
over allotment option. The underwriters can close out a covered
short sale by exercising the over allotment option or purchasing
shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares
to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will
consider, among other things, the open market price of shares
compared to the price available under the over allotment option.
The underwriters may also sell shares in excess of the over
allotment option, creating a naked short position. The
underwriters must close out any naked short position by
purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is
more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A
common stock in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an
additional means of facilitating the offering, the underwriters
may bid for, and
purchase, shares
of Class A common stock in the open market to stabilize the
price of the Class A common stock. The underwriting
syndicate may also reclaim selling concessions allowed to an
underwriter or a dealer for distributing the Class A common
stock in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously
distributed Class A common stock to cover syndicate short
positions or to stabilize the price of the Class A common
stock. These activities may raise or maintain the market price
of the Class A common stock above independent market levels
or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the
Class A common stock. The underwriters are not required to
engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities
at any time.
From time to time, certain of the underwriters
and/or their
respective affiliates have directly and indirectly engaged in
various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial
banking services for us and our affiliates, for which they
received customary compensation, fees and expense reimbursement.
In particular, affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., an
underwriter in this offering, is a lender under our Credit
Facilities.
We, the selling stockholders and the underwriters have agreed to
indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the
initial public offering price, up
to shares
offered in this prospectus for our directors, officers,
employees, business associates and related persons. The number
of shares of class A common stock available for sale to the
general public will be reduced to the extent such persons
purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares which are not
so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general
public on the same basis as the other shares offered in this
prospectus.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area
which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
“Relevant Member State”), each underwriter has
represented and agreed that with effect from and including the
date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that
Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation
Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of shares
to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the
publication of a prospectus in relation to the shares which has
been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member
State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member
State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant
Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive,
except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant
Implementation Date, make an offer of shares to the public in
that Relevant Member State at any time:
(a) to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to
operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or
regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in
securities;
(b) to any legal entity which has two or more of
(1) an average of at least 250 employees during the
last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than
€43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more
than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or
consolidated accounts;
(c) to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than
qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive)
subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives
for any such offer; or
(d) in any other circumstances which do not require the
publication by the Issuer of a prospectus pursuant to
Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an
“offer of shares to the public” in relation to any
shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in
any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms
of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an
investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the
same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure
implementing the Prospectus
137
Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression
Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:
(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated
and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”)) received by it in
connection with the issue or sale of the shares in circumstances
in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the
Issuer; and
(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable
provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in
relation to the shares in, from or otherwise involving the
United Kingdom.
The shares may not be offered or sold by means of any document
other than (i) in circumstances which do not constitute an
offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies
Ordinance (Cap.32, Laws of Hong Kong), or (ii) to
“professional investors” within the meaning of the
Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571, Laws of Hong Kong)
and any rules made thereunder, or (iii) in other
circumstances which do not result in the document being a
“prospectus” within the meaning of the Companies
Ordinance (Cap.32, Laws of Hong Kong), and no advertisement,
invitation or document relating to the shares may be issued or
may be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue
(in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is
directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed
or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do
so under the laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to
shares which are or are intended to be disposed of only to
persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional
investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures
Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made
thereunder.

Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this prospectus
and any other document or material in connection with the offer
or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Emdeon Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Emdeon Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2007,
and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (predecessor), the period from
January 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006 (predecessor),
the period from November 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006
and the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Emdeon Inc. at December 31, 2006 and
2007, and the consolidated results of its operations,
shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (predecessor), the period from
January 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006 (predecessor),
the period from November 16, 2006 to December 31, 2006
and the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Emdeon
Inc.
(In
Thousands, Except Share, Per Share and Per Unit
Amounts)
Prior to November 2006, the group of companies that comprised
Emdeon Business Services (“EBS”) were owned by HLTH
Corporation (“HLTH”). Periods prior to November 2006
are referred to as “Predecessor” in these financial
statements. EBS Master LLC (“EBS Master”) was formed
by HLTH to act as a holding company for EBS. EBS Master, through
its 100% owned subsidiary, Emdeon Business Services LLC, owns
EBS.
In September 2006, EBS Acquisition LLC (“EBS
Acquisition”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability
company by affiliates of General Atlantic LLC (“General
Atlantic”). On November 16, 2006, pursuant to the
terms of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of November 15, 2006, among HLTH and certain of
its subsidiaries (including EBS Master) and EBS Acquisition and
two of its subsidiaries, a subsidiary of EBS Acquisition merged
into a subsidiary of HLTH. As a result of the merger, EBS
Acquisition acquired a 52% interest in EBS Master, and HLTH
received approximately $1.2 billion in cash and retained a
48% interest in EBS Master. The transactions through which EBS
Acquisition acquired a 52% interest in EBS Master are referred
to herein as the “2006 Transaction.” The 2006
Transaction was financed with $925 million in bank debt and
an equity investment of approximately $320 million by EBS
Acquisition. As the 2006 Transaction was deemed to be a highly
leveraged transaction, the 2006 Transaction was accounted for in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
Issue
No. 88-16,
Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions, and 52% of the
net assets of EBS Master were stepped up to fair market value.
Periods after the 2006 Transaction are referred to as
“Successor” in these financial statements.
On February 8, 2008, HLTH sold its 48% minority interest in
EBS Master to affiliates of General Atlantic and
Hellman & Friedman LLC (“H&F”) for
$575 million in cash (the “2008 Transaction”). As
a result, following the 2008 Transaction, EBS Master was owned
65.77% by affiliates of General Atlantic (including EBS
Acquisition) and 34.23% by affiliates of H&F. See
Note 23 for further information related to the 2008
Transaction.
In September 2008, EBS Acquisition was converted into a Delaware
corporation and its name was changed to Emdeon Inc. (the
“Company”).
The Company is a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle
management solutions, connecting payers, providers and patients
of the U.S. healthcare system. The Company’s product
and service offerings integrate and automate key business and
administrative functions for healthcare payers and healthcare
providers throughout the patient encounter, including pre-care
patient eligibility and benefits verification, claims management
and adjudication, payment distribution, payment posting and
denial management and patient billing and payment.
Reorganization
On ,
2008 the Company completed a restructuring (collectively, the
“reorganization transactions”) in anticipation of
completing an initial public offering.
Prior to the reorganization transactions and after the 2008
Transaction, the Company owned a 52% interest in EBS Master and
affiliates of General Atlantic and H&F owned the remaining
48% interest in EBS Master. The Company did not engage in any
business or other activities except in connection with its
investment in EBS Master and the reorganization transactions,
and had nominal assets other than its interest in EBS Master. In
the reorganization transactions, the Company became the sole
managing member of EBS Master and acquired additional interests
in EBS Master. After the reorganization transactions, EBS Master
and its subsidiaries continue to operate the historical business.
Prior to the reorganization transactions, the Company was
authorized to issue a single class of common stock. In
connection with the reorganization transactions, the Company
amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and is
currently authorized to issue four classes of common stock:
Class A common stock, Class B common stock,
Class C common stock and Class D common stock. The
Class A common stock and Class D common stock each
provide holders with one vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of shareholders and the Class B
F-7
Emdeon
Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In
Thousands, Except Share, Per Share and Per Unit
Amounts)
common stock and Class C common stock each provide holders
with 10 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders; however, the holders of Class C common stock
and Class D common stock do not have any of the economic
rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon
liquidation) provided to the holders of Class A common
stock or Class B common stock. All shares of the
Company’s common stock generally vote together, as a single
class, on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
As part of the reorganization transactions:
|
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Master effected
a for unit
split.
|
|
|
•
|
The Company amended and restated its certificate of
incorporation and reclassified its outstanding common stock into
an aggregate
of shares
of its Class B common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
One of the members of EBS Master, EBS Acquisition II, LLC
(“EBS Acquisition II”), an affiliate of General
Atlantic, was merged with a newly-formed subsidiary of the
Company with the newly formed subsidiary being the surviving
entity in the merger; EBS Acquisition II’s members, all of
whom are investment funds organized and controlled by General
Atlantic, received an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class B common stock and the Company
acquired, indirectly, an additional 13.77% interest in EBS
Master;
|
|
|
•
|
One of the members of EBS Master, H&F Harrington
AIV I, L.P. (“H&F Harrington”), an entity
whose partners consist of investment funds organized and
controlled by H&F, dissolved and distributed 1.06% of its
interests in EBS Master to Hellman & Friedman
Investors VI, L.P., its general partner (“H&F
GP”), and 98.94% to H&F Harrington, Inc.; H&F
Harrington, Inc. then merged with a newly-formed subsidiary of
the Company with the newly formed subsidiary being the surviving
entity in the merger; H&F Harrington, Inc.’s sole
shareholder, H&F Harrington AIV II, L.P. (“H&F
AIV”), an investment fund organized and controlled by
H&F, received an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class B common stock and the Company
acquired, indirectly, an additional 11.65% interest in EBS
Master; and
|
|
|
•
|
Certain affiliates of H&F (or their successors) (the
“H&F Continuing LLC Members”) continue to hold an
aggregate
of units
in EBS Master (“EBS Units”) (or 22.58%) and were
issued an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class C common stock. The EBS Units
held by the H&F Continuing LLC Members (together with the
corresponding shares of the Company’s Class C common
stock) may be exchanged with the Company for shares of the
Company’s Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis.
|
Subject to certain limited exceptions, immediately prior to the
transfer of a share of Class B common stock, such share of
Class B common stock will automatically convert into a
share of Class A common stock.
The Company accounted for the reorganization transactions using
a carryover basis as the reorganization transactions are
identical ownership exchanges among entities under common
control. This is consistent with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141, Business
Combinations, and FASB Technical
Bulletin 85-5,
Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations,
including Costs of Closing Duplicate Facilities of an Acquirer;
Stock Transactions between Companies under Common Control;
Down-Stream Mergers, Identical Common Shares for a Pooling of
Interests; and Pooling of Interests by Mutual and Cooperative
Enterprises (“FASB Technical
Bulletin 85-5”).
The economic interest that the affiliates of General Atlantic
and H&F held in EBS Master before the reorganization
transactions did not change as a result of the reorganization
transactions.
In accordance with FASB Technical
Bulletin 85-5,
the reorganization was accounted for as a transaction between
entities under common control. As EBS Acquisition II, H&F
Harrington, and the H&F Continuing LLC Members did not
purchase their interests in EBS Master until the 2008
Transaction, this reorganization did not materially impact the
Company’s financial statements through December 31,
2007.
This reorganization and the changes to our capital structure are
reflected in all successor periods presented.

Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Amounts)

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The results of operations for companies
acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the effective date of acquisition. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidated financial statements.
Minority
Interest
Minority interest represents the minority shareholders’
proportionate share of equity and net income of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The minority interest in the Company related to HLTH’s 48%
ownership from the 2006 Transaction was in a net deficit
position as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. As a result, net
income (loss) and other comprehensive income was not allocated
to the minority interest holders during the period from November
16 to December 31, 2006 and the year ended
December 31, 2007.
Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience, current business factors, and various
other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to
consider in order to form a basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts
of revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the
impact of future events, economic, environmental and political
factors and changes in the Company’s business environment;
therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of
the Company’s financial statements will change as new
events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional
information is obtained and as the Company’s operating
environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when
circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements
in estimation methodologies are reflected in the reported
results of operations; and if material, the effects of changes
in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by
management affect: the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair
value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
business combinations; the carrying value of long-lived assets
(including goodwill and intangible assets); the amortization
period of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill); the carrying
value, capitalization and amortization of software development
costs; the provision and benefit for income taxes and related
deferred tax accounts; certain accrued expenses; revenue
recognition; contingencies; and the value attributed to
stock-based awards.
Business
Combinations
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations
(“SFAS 141”), the purchase price of
businesses the Company acquires is allocated to their
identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair
values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount
allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is
recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation methodology
requires the Company to make assumptions and to apply judgment
to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.
The fair value of assets and liabilities is estimated based on
the appraised market values, the carrying value of the acquired
assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including
discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses. The purchase
price allocation may be adjusted, as necessary, up to one year
after the acquisition

closing date as more information is obtained regarding assets
valuations and liabilities assumed. Unanticipated events or
circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our
fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry
economic factors and business strategies, and result in an
impairment or a new allocation of purchase price.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s
best estimate of losses inherent in the Company’s
receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical
experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and
other currently available evidence.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value using
the
first-in,
first-out basis and consists of unprocessed rolled paper, paper
sheet stock, envelopes and inserts. Market value is based on
current replacement cost.
Software
Development Costs
The Company accounts for internal use software development costs
in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”)
No. 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use
(“SOP 98-1”).
Software development costs that are incurred in the preliminary
project stage are expensed as incurred. Once certain criteria of
SOP 98-1
have been met, direct costs incurred in developing or obtaining
computer software are capitalized. Training and data conversion
costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are
included in property and equipment within the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over a three-year
period.
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
The useful lives are generally as follows:
|
|
|
Computer equipment
|
|
3 to 5 years
|
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures
|
|
3 to 7 years
|
Software
|
|
3 years
|
Technology
|
|
6 to 7 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Shorter of useful life or lease term
|
Expenditures for maintenance, repair and renewals of minor items
are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance, repair
and renewals that extend the useful life of an asset are
capitalized.

Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets result from the Company’s
acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method. Intangible
assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
generally as follows:
|
|
|
Customer relationships
|
|
10 to 20 years
|
Trade names
|
|
7 years
|
Non-compete agreements
|
|
1 to 5 years
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), the Company
reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually and whenever
indicators of impairment are present. With respect to goodwill,
the Company determines whether potential impairment losses are
present by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units
to the fair value of its reporting units determined using an
income approach valuation. The Company’s reporting units
are determined in accordance with SFAS 142, which defines a
reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an
operating segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than the net assets of the reporting unit, then a
hypothetical purchase price allocation is used to determine the
amount of goodwill impairment. The Company has recognized no
impairment in conjunction with its annual SFAS No. 142
analysis.
Long-Lived
Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived
assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held
and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its
carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash
flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference
between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets
held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value
less costs to sell.
Debt
Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debt. The amortization is included
in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the
Company’s interest rate exposure. The Company does not
enter into financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for in accordance
with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities and related
interpretations, and are measured at fair value and recorded on
the balance sheet.
Equity-Based
Compensation
Compensation expense related to the Company’s equity-based
awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”),
using the modified prospective method. The fair value of the
equity awards is determined by utilizing an independent
third-party valuation using a Black-Scholes model and
assumptions as to expected term, expected volatility, expected
dividends and the risk free rate. Certain of the Company’s
equity-based awards are classified as liabilities due to the
related repurchase features. The Company remeasures the fair
value of these awards at each reporting date. These awards are
included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets.

Revenue
Recognition
The Company generates revenue by providing products and services
that automate and simplify business and administrative functions
for payers and providers, generally on either a per transaction,
per document or per communications basis or, in some cases, on a
flat fee basis. The Company generally charges a one-time
implementation fee to payers and providers at the inception of a
contract in conjunction with related setup and connection to its
network and other systems. In addition, the Company receives
software license fees and software maintenance fees from payers
who utilize the Company’s systems for converting paper
claims into electronic claims and, occasionally, sell additional
software and hardware products.
Revenue for transaction services, patient statements and payment
distribution services are recognized as the services are
provided. Postage fees related to the Company’s payment
distribution and patient statement volumes are recorded on a
gross basis in accordance with EITF 00-10, Accounting for
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Implementation fees,
software license fees and software maintenance fees are
amortized to revenue on a straight line basis over the contract
period, which generally varies from one to three years. Software
and hardware product sales are recognized once all elements are
delivered and customer acceptance is received.
Cash receipts or billings in advance of revenue recognition are
recorded as deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
The Company excludes sales and use tax from revenue in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Income
Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires
the Company to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect
of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and
liabilities.
Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses
and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax
assets is dependent on many factors, including the
Company’s past earnings history, expected future earnings,
the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled
circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely
affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and
carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially
enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.
The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in accordance
with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Net
Income Per Share of Class A and Class B Common
Stock
The Company computes net income per share of Class A and
Class B common stock in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share
(“SFAS 128”) using the two class method.
Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net income per
share is computed using the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period.
Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted shares,
and unvested common shares subject to repurchase or
cancellation. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options,
restricted shares, restricted stock units and warrants is
reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the
treasury stock method. The computation of the diluted net income
per share of Class A
F-12
Emdeon
Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In
Thousands, Except Share, Per Share and Per Unit
Amounts)
common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common
stock, while the diluted net income per share of Class B
common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
The rights, including liquidation and dividend rights, of the
holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B
common stock are identical except with respect to voting. As a
result, and in accordance with EITF Issue
No. 03-6,
Participating Securities and the Two —
Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, the
undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the
contractual participation rights of the Class A and
Class B common shares as if the earnings for the year had
been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are
identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a
proportionate basis. Further, as it is assumed the conversion of
Class B common stock in the computation of the diluted net
income per share of Class A common stock, the undistributed
earnings are equal to net income for that computation.
As the Class C and Class D common stock have no
economic interests (only voting interests), no earnings are
allocated to these classes of stock for purposes of computing
earnings per share.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. An
adverse change in economic conditions in the United States could
negatively affect the Company’s revenue and results of
operations.
The Company’s cash is swept daily into money market funds
invested primarily in U.S. or government agency obligations in
order to reduce credit exposure.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141
(revised 2007), Business Combinations
(“SFAS 141R”). This statement expands the
definition of a business and a business combination and
generally requires the acquiring entity to recognize all of the
assets and liabilities of the acquired business, regardless of
the percentage ownership acquired, at their fair values. It also
requires that contingent consideration and certain acquired
contingencies be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date
and that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred.
SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that this new standard will have
on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”), which
provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities, including a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the information used to develop fair value assumptions. It also
requires expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies
measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value
measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other
standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value
in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits many
financial instruments and certain other items to be measured at
fair value at our option. Most of the provisions in
SFAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with
available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option
established by SFAS 159 permits the choice to measure
eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may
be applied instrument by instrument, with a few
F-13
Emdeon

(In
Thousands, Except Share, Per Share and Per Unit
Amounts)
exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the
equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election
date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments
and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is
effective for financial statements issued for the first fiscal
year beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51
(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting
Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements (“ARB 51”) to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. Additionally, SFAS 160
changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented
by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts
that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
noncontrolling interest.
SFAS 160 requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent’s owners and the
interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary,
including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances
of the equity attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling
owners and a schedule showing the effects of changes in a
parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary on the equity
attributable to the parent. SFAS 160 does not change
ARB 51’s provisions related to consolidation purposes
or consolidation policy, or the requirement that a parent
consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial
interest. SFAS 160 does, however, amend certain of
ARB 51’s consolidation procedures to make them
consistent with the requirements of SFAS 141R as well as to
provide definitions for certain terms and to clarify some
terminology. In addition to the amendments to ARB 51,
SFAS 160 amends SFAS 128, Earnings per Share,
so that the calculation of earnings per share amounts in
consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on
amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS 160 must be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it
is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which must be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact
that SFAS 160 will have on its results of operations or
financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(“SFAS 161”). SFAS No. 161 amends and
expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and about hedging activities with the intent to provide users of
financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and
why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity’s financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative
disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on
derivative instruments, and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
agreements. SFAS 161 does not change accounting for
derivative instruments and is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. Upon adoption, the Company will include
additional disclosures in the financial statements regarding
derivative instruments and hedging activity.

Patient
Billing Acquisition
On December 18, 2007, the Company acquired IXT Solutions, a
privately held patient billing and payment solutions company.
The Company paid $10,688 in cash at closing, including
transaction-related costs of $165, and has agreed to pay up to
an additional $5,250 in cash if certain revenue and migration
targets are achieved. An estimated earnout liability of $4,500
has been accrued based on the terms of the purchase agreement.
The results of operations of IXT Solutions are included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company from
December 18, 2007 forward.
The allocation of IXT Solutions’ purchase price to the
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the date of acquisition has been made, considering a
number of factors, including the use of an independent appraisal.

On November 16, 2006, Emdeon Business Services LLC entered
into two credit agreements with several lenders that provided a
$755 million term loan (“First Lien Term Loan”),
a $50 million revolving credit agreement
(“Revolver”) and a $170 million term loan
(“Second Lien Term Loan”).
The First Lien Term Loan is payable in quarterly principal
installments of approximately $1.8 million, plus accrued
interest, beginning in March 2007 through September 2013, with a
balloon payment of the remaining principal amount outstanding
due upon maturity in November 2013. These installment payments
are subject to adjustment based upon optional and mandatory
prepayment activity. Mandatory prepayments related to excess
cash flow, as defined, and other circumstances are also
required. The First Lien Term Loan bears interest, payable
quarterly, based upon a variable base rate plus a spread rate
(combined total effective rate was 6.83% as of December 31,
2007).
The Revolver expires November 2012 and provides for revolving
loans not to exceed $50 million, of which $12 million
may be used for letters of credit in support of payment
obligations of the Company. The Revolver bears interest based
upon a variable base rate plus a spread rate (combined total
effective rate was 6.58% as of December 31, 2007) and
is payable quarterly. There were no borrowings or outstanding
letters of credit issued under the Revolver as of
December 31, 2007.
The Second Lien Term Loan is subordinate to the
First Lien Term Loan, and bears interest, payable
quarterly, based upon a variable base rate plus a spread rate
(combined total rate was 9.83% as of December 31, 2007).
The Second Lien Term Loan matures in May 2014.

The credit agreements require Emdeon Business Services LLC to
maintain certain financial covenants including a maximum total
leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The credit
agreements also impose restrictions related to capital
expenditures, investments, additional debt or liens, asset
sales, transactions with affiliates, dividends, equity
interests, among other items. Emdeon Business Services LLC
believes it was in compliance with all debt covenants at
December 31, 2007. This debt is secured by substantially
all of the assets of Emdeon Business Services LLC and is
guaranteed by EBS Master.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, HLTH had issued letters
of credit totaling approximately $6 million supporting
certain obligations of Emdeon Business Services LLC pursuant to
facility leases. In accordance with the terms of an agreement
between Emdeon Business Services LLC and HLTH, the letters of
credit would remain in place subject to various optional or
mandatory termination events which may be initiated by Emdeon
Business Services LLC or HLTH, or as may be governed by the
underlying facilities lease agreements. Emdeon Business Services
LLC was obligated to reimburse and indemnify HLTH for any draws
thereunder.
Effective March 9, 2007, the First Lien Term Loan and
Revolver credit agreement was amended to reduce the interest
rate spread rate to 2.25% followed by a subsequent reduction to
2.00% effective September 30, 2007. The amended agreement
requires that certain optional prepayments made by Emdeon
Business Services LLC within one year of such amendment were
subject to a premium of 1.0% of the principal amount prepaid.
The aggregate amounts of required principal payments are as

Effective December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement, which matures in December 2011 to
reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments of
its total long-term debt. The notional amount of the swap was
$786,250 and $658,125 as of December 31, 2006 and 2007,
respectively. Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate
swap are expected to partially offset the changes in cash flows
attributable to fluctuations in the three month variable base
rates underlying Emdeon Business Services LLC’s long-term
debt obligations.
The fair value of the instrument at December 31, 2006 and
2007 was $0 and $(16,577), respectively, and is included in
other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. The change in fair value for 2007 was $(16,577).
Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are reported
in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated
statements of shareholder’s equity, net of taxes.
The 2008 Transaction represented a redesignation event under
SFAS 133. As the Company’s interest rate swap did not
meet all the criteria for hedge accounting, changes in fair
value subsequent to the 2008 Transaction will be recorded in
interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company adopted the EBS Incentive Plan (the “EBS
Phantom Plan”) in October 2007. The EBS Phantom Plan is
designed to allow certain employees of the Company to
participate economically in the future growth and value creation
at Emdeon Business Services LLC. Each participant received a
specified number of EBS Phantom Plan units. These units
appreciate with increases in value of Emdeon Business Services
LLC above the price at which General Atlantic initially invested
in the Company. At inception, the equity value of Emdeon
Business Services LLC was $615,602. These units do not give
employees an ownership interest in the Company and these units
have no voting rights.
Under the EBS Phantom Plan, as of December 31, 2007,
certain employees were granted the right to earn up to
1,462,000 units in total over a five year period. Upon a
realization event, as defined in the EBS Phantom Plan, a cash
payment will be made based on the number of units earned at the
time of the realization event times a formula as defined in the
EBS Phantom Plan. EBS Master has the right, but not the
obligation, to repurchase any employee’s vested units on
termination of employment. If EBS Master exercises this
repurchase right, the employee will receive a cash payment as
defined in the EBS Phantom Plan. As no payments are made until a
realization event is consummated, no expense is recognized until
such an event or a participant’s employment is terminated
and EBS Master exercises its repurchase right. If a realization
event does not occur prior to October 5, 2017, the units
will expire with no benefit to the employee.

Prior to November 16, 2006, as the Company was a group of
wholly owned subsidiaries of HLTH, certain employees of the
Company participated in the stock-based compensation plans of
HLTH (collectively, the “HLTH Plans”). Under the HLTH
Plans, certain employees received grants of stock options and
shares of restricted stock of HLTH. In accordance with
SFAS 123, such grants are treated as if the grants were
shares of the Company.

Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from traded
options of HLTH common stock, combined with historical
volatility of HLTH common stock. Prior to January 1, 2006,
only historical volatility was considered. The expected term
represents the period of time that options are expected to be
outstanding following their grant date, and was determined using
historical exercise data. The risk-free rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected
term of the options on the grant date.

(predecessor). The majority of these stock options and shares of
restricted stock either vested or were cancelled in connection
with the 2006 Transaction.
For the stock options that remained outstanding and continued to
vest, subject to continued employment following the 2006
Transaction, as the Company’s employees were no longer
considered employees of HLTH, the measurement of stock
compensation related to these awards was variable from
November 16, 2006 until the respective vesting dates of the
awards.
As of December 31, 2006, 232,500 stock options of HLTH
issued to employees of the Company remained outstanding from
grants made prior to the the 2006 Transaction. As of
December 31, 2007, all stock options were fully vested,
forfeited or transferred back to HLTH (as the result of the
transfer of an employee of the Company to HLTH).
Restricted
Stock
Restricted stock consists of shares of HLTH common stock which
were granted to employees. The grants are restricted in that
they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to
restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the employee
until they vest. As of December 31, 2006, there were
206,994 shares of HLTH restricted stock outstanding. During
2007, 199,077 shares of HLTH restricted stock vested,
1,667 shares were forfeited and 6,250 shares were
transferred back to HLTH as a result of the transfer of an
employee of the Company to HLTH. There were no unvested HLTH
restricted stock shares outstanding at December 31, 2007.
As a result of the sale of EBS, the Company’s employees
with equity awards that were continuing to vest, subject to
continued employment following the 2006 Transaction, were no
longer considered employees of HLTH. Therefore, the measurement
of stock compensation related to these equity awards was
variable until the respective vesting dates of the awards.
Summary
of HLTH Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Compensation expense related to HLTH stock-based awards was
recognized ratably over the vesting period, except for
additional compensation recognized in the January 1, 2006
through November 15, 2006 period due to the accelerated
partial vesting of outstanding awards. Total stock compensation
expense recorded in the Company’s financials related to
HLTH options and restricted stock granted to employees of the
Company for 2005 (predecessor), for the period from
January 1 through November 15, 2006 (predecessor), for
the period from November 16 through December 31, 2006
and 2007 was $296, $6,144, $310 and $2,107 respectively.

Equity-Based
Compensation Plan
|
EBS Master adopted the EBS Executive Incentive Plan (the
“EBS Equity Plan”) in April 2007. The EBS Equity Plan
is designed to provide certain executives with an indirect
equity stake in EBS Master’s future growth and value
creation. The EBS Equity Plan consists of a new class of
non-voting EBS Master equity called Grant Units. The Grant Units
are profit interests in EBS Master. The Grant Units appreciate
with increases in value of Emdeon Business Services LLC above
the price at which General Atlantic and HLTH initially invested
in EBS Master at the time of the 2006 Transaction. At inception,
the equity value of EBS Master was $615,602.
All Grant Units were issued by a separate legal entity EBS
Executive Incentive Plan LLC, which was created for this sole
purpose and holds no other assets.
Under the EBS Equity Plan, certain executives were granted
3,220,000 equity units in April 2007 which represent 3.19% of
EBS Master’s total outstanding equity. These equity
interests vest ratably over a five year period

Notes to

(In
Thousands, Except Share, Per Share and Per Unit
Amounts)
and 644,000 units were vested as of December 31, 2007.
EBS Master has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase
any employee’s vested units on termination of employment.
If EBS Master exercises this repurchase right, the employee will
receive cash payment as defined in the EBS Equity Plan. No award
of additional grants shall be made under the EBS Equity Plan
after December 31, 2011.
These awards are accounted for as a liability due to certain
repurchase features and are recorded at the fair value at the
end of each reporting period in accordance with the vesting
schedule.
Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of
these interests as of December 31, 2007 are as follows:

Equity compensation expense of $4,486 was recognized during

$16,206.
Employees of the Company participate in certain retirement plans
of Emdeon Business Services LLC. Certain of these plans provide
for matching contributions.
Expenses related to these plans were $798, $922, $97 and $1,104
for 2005 (predecessor), the period from January 1 to
November 15, 2006 (predecessor), the period from November
16 to December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss
carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately
$18,934, which expire in 2019 through 2027. A portion of net
operating loss carry forwards may be

subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization
against taxable income in future periods due to the “change
of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and
similar state provisions. A portion of these carry forwards may
expire before becoming available to reduce future income tax
liabilities. As a result, the Company has recorded a valuation
allowance in the amount of $5,293 as of December 31, 2007.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets
(liabilities) as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 were as

The Company recognized an $2,408 liability for uncertain tax
positions in 2007, net of certain benefits associated with state
net operating losses and certain accrued expenses, which is
recorded as an adjustment to the valuation allowance.

The Company does not currently anticipate that the total amount

U.S. federal and state income tax returns for tax years
2006 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”).
Company policy is to record interest and penalties as a part of
tax provision expense. Due to the existence of net operating
losses, no interest or penalties have been recognized in the
periods shown.

Predecessor
During 2005 and the period from January 1 to September 14,
2006, EBS provided patient statement, claims processing, and
printing services to a division of HLTH, Emdeon Practice
Services (“EPS”). Revenue from these activities was
$45,020 and $32,740 in 2005 and the period from January 1 to
September 14, 2006, respectively. EBS incurred rebate
expense from EPS of $9,116 and $6,007 in 2005 and the period
from January 1 to September 14, 2006, respectively. EBS
also had revenue sharing agreements with EPS for 2005 and the
period from January 1 to September 14, 2006 related to
shared customers. Such agreements resulted in the allocation of
revenue of $2,085 and $1,019, and expenses of $1,258 and $913,
for respective periods, to EPS. EBS and EPS shared common
ownership by HLTH through September 14, 2006, at which time
HLTH sold its ownership interest in EPS.
During 2005 and the period from January 1 to November 15,
2006 (the date immediately prior to the 2006 Transaction), EBS
provided printing services to HLTH. Revenue from these
activities was $796 and $786 in 2005 and the period from January

November 15, 2006, the Company incurred expense of $417 and
$415, respectively, for faxing services, access to WebMD
Health’s physician directory, and website hosting services
provided by WebMD. WebMD was a wholly owned subsidiary of HLTH,
and therefore shared common ownership by HLTH.
Successor
Effective November 16, 2006, the Company and HLTH entered
into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) for

period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 and for
2007, respectively.
The Company also provides customer support and printing services
to HLTH. Revenue for such services was $158 and $1,567 for the
period from November 16 to December 31, 2006 and for 2007,
respectively.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company was the beneficiary of
letters of credit held by HLTH and had entered into an agreement
whereby the Company would reimburse HLTH for related fees and
the difference between the interest earned on HLTH’s
committed funds and the rate HLTH could otherwise earn on these
funds. Total expense under this agreement was $63 for 2007. No
expense under this agreement was incurred during the period from
November 16 to December 31, 2006.

Management views the Company’s operating results in three
reportable segments: (a) payer services, (b) provider
services and (c) pharmacy services. Listed below are the
results of operations for each of the reportable segments. This
information is reflected in the manner utilized by management to
make operating decisions, assess performance and allocate
resources. The accounting policies of the reportable segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Payer
Services Segment
The payer services segment provides claims management and
payment distribution products and services to healthcare payers,
both directly and through our channel partners, that simplify
the administration of healthcare related to insurance
eligibility and benefit verification, claims filing and claims
and payment distribution.
Provider
Services Segment
The provider services segment provides revenue cycle management
solutions, patient billing and payment and dental services to
healthcare providers, both directly and through our channel
partners, that simplify the providers’ revenue cycle,
reduce related costs and improve cash flow.
Pharmacy
Services Segment
The pharmacy services segment provides solutions and services to
pharmacies and pharmacy benefit management companies related to
prescription benefit claim filing, adjudication and management.
Inter-segment revenue and expenses primarily represent claims
management and patient statement services provided between
segments.
Corporate and eliminations includes personnel and other costs
associated with the Company’s management, administrative
and other corporate services functions and eliminations to
remove inter-segment revenues and expenses.

On February 8, 2008, HLTH sold its remaining 48% ownership
interest of EBS Master. The 48% was sold partially to an
affiliate of General Atlantic (13.77%) and partially to
affiliates of H&F (34.23%) for an aggregate of
$575 million. As the affiliates of General Atlantic and
H&F were deemed to be a collaborative group under EITF
Topic
No. D-97,
Push Down Accounting, the 48% step up in the basis of the
net assets of EBS Master recorded at the General Atlantic and
H&F acquiror level will be pushed down to the
Company’s financial statements subsequent to HLTH’s
sale of its remaining interest.

Emdeon
Inc.
(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share
and Per Unit Amounts)
Prior to November 2006, the group of companies that comprised
Emdeon Business Services (“EBS”) were owned by HLTH
Corporation (“HLTH”). EBS Master LLC (“EBS
Master”) was formed by HLTH to act as a holding company for
EBS. EBS Master, through its 100% owned subsidiary, Emdeon
Business Services LLC, owns EBS.
In September 2006, EBS Acquisition LLC (“EBS
Acquisition”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability
company by affiliates of General Atlantic LLC (“General
Atlantic”). On November 16, 2006, pursuant to the
terms of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of November 15, 2006, among HLTH and certain of
its subsidiaries (including EBS Master) and EBS Acquisition and
two of its subsidiaries, a subsidiary of EBS Acquisition merged
into a subsidiary of HLTH. As a result of the merger, EBS
Acquisition acquired a 52% interest in EBS Master, and HLTH
received approximately $1.2 billion in cash and retained a
48% interest in EBS Master. The transactions through which EBS
Acquisition acquired a 52% interest in EBS Master are referred
to herein as the “2006 Transaction.” The 2006
Transaction was financed with $925 million in bank debt and
an equity investment of approximately $320 million by EBS
Acquisition. As the 2006 Transaction was deemed to be a highly
leveraged transaction, the 2006 Transaction was accounted for in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)
88-16,
Basis in Leveraged Buyout Transactions, and 52% of the
net assets of EBS Master were stepped up to fair market value.
On February 8, 2008, HLTH sold its 48% minority interest in
EBS Master to affiliates of General Atlantic and
Hellman & Friedman LLC (“H&F”) for
$575 million in cash (the “2008 Transaction”). As
a result, following the 2008 Transaction, EBS Master was owned
65.77% by affiliates of General Atlantic (including EBS
Acquisition) and 34.23% by affiliates of H&F. See
Note 3 for further information related to the 2008
Transaction.
In September 2008, EBS Acquisition was converted into a Delaware
corporation and its name was changed to Emdeon Inc. (the
“Company”).
The Company is a leading provider of revenue and payment cycle
management solutions, connecting payers, providers and patients
of the U.S. healthcare system. The Company’s product
and service offerings integrate and automate key business and
administrative functions for healthcare payers and healthcare
providers throughout the patient encounter, including pre-care
patient eligibility and benefits verification, claims management
and adjudication, payment distribution, payment posting and
denial management and patient billing and payment.
Reorganization
In 2008, the Company completed a restructuring (collectively,
the “reorganization transactions”) in anticipation of
completing an initial public offering (the “IPO”).
Prior to the reorganization transactions, the Company owned a
52% interest in EBS Master and affiliates of General Atlantic
and H&F owned the remaining 48% interest in EBS Master. The
Company did not engage in any business or other activities
except in connection with its investment in EBS Master and the
reorganization transactions, and had nominal assets other than
its interest in EBS Master. In the reorganization transactions,
the Company became the sole managing member of EBS Master and
acquired additional interests in EBS Master. After the
reorganization transactions, EBS Master and its subsidiaries
will continue to operate the historical business.
Prior to the reorganization transactions, the Company was
authorized to issue a single class of common stock. In
connection with the reorganization transactions, the Company
amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and is
currently authorized to issue four classes of common stock:
Class A common stock, Class B common stock,
Class C common stock and Class D common stock. The
Class A common stock and Class D common stock each
provide holders with one vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of shareholders and the Class B common stock and
Class C common stock each provide holders with 10 votes on
all matters submitted to a vote of
F-39

and Per Unit Amounts)
shareholders; however, the holders of Class C common stock
and Class D common stock do not have any of the economic
rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon
liquidation) provided to the holders of Class A common
stock or Class B common stock. All shares of the
Company’s common stock generally vote together, as a single
class, on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
As part of the reorganization transactions:
|
|
|
|
•
|
EBS Master effected
a
for
unit split.
|
|
|
•
|
The Company amended and restated its certificate of
incorporation and reclassified its outstanding common stock into
an aggregate
of shares
of its Class B common stock;
|
|
|
•
|
One of the members of EBS Master, EBS Acquisition II, LLC
(“EBS Acquisition II”), an affiliate of General
Atlantic, was merged with a newly-formed subsidiary of the
Company with the newly formed subsidiary being the surviving
entity in the merger; EBS Acquisition II’s members, all of
whom are investment funds organized and controlled by General
Atlantic, received an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class B common stock and the Company
acquired, indirectly, an additional 13.77% interest in EBS
Master;
|
|
|
•
|
One of the members of EBS Master, H&F Harrington
AIV I, L.P. (“H&F Harrington”), an entity
whose partners consist of investment funds organized and
controlled by H&F, dissolved and distributed 1.06% of its
interests in EBS Master to Hellman & Friedman
Investors VI, L.P., its general partner (“H&F
GP”), and 98.94% to H&F Harrington, Inc.; H&F
Harrington, Inc. then merged with a newly-formed subsidiary of
the Company with the newly formed subsidiary being the surviving
entity in the merger; H&F Harrington, Inc.’s sole
shareholder, H&F Harrington AIV II, L.P. (“H&F
AIV”), an investment fund organized and controlled by
H&F, received an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class B common stock and the Company
acquired, indirectly, an additional 11.65% interest in EBS
Master; and
|
|
|
•
|
Certain affiliates of H&F (or their successors) (the
“H&F Continuing LLC Members”) continue to hold an
aggregate
of
units in EBS Master (“EBS Units”) (or 22.58% of the
outstanding EBS Units) and were issued an aggregate
of shares
of the Company’s Class C common stock. The EBS Units
held by the H&F Continuing LLC Members (together with the
corresponding shares of the Company’s Class C common
stock) may be exchanged with the Company for shares of the
Company’s Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis.
|
Subject to certain limited exceptions, immediately prior to the
transfer of a share of Class B common stock, such share of
Class B common stock will automatically convert into a
share of Class A common stock.
The Company accounted for the reorganization transactions using
a carryover basis as the reorganization transactions are
identical ownership exchanges among entities under common
control. This is consistent with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Technical
Bulletin 85-5,
Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations,
including Costs of Closing Duplicate Facilities of an Acquirer;
Stock Transactions between Companies under Common Control;
Down-Stream Mergers, Identical Common Shares for a Pooling of
Interests; and Pooling of Interests by Mutual and Cooperative
Enterprises (“FASB Technical Bulletin 85-5”).
The economic interests that the affiliates of General Atlantic
and H&F held in EBS Master before the reorganization
transactions did not change as a result of the reorganization
transactions.
In accordance with FASB Technical
Bulletin 85-5,
the reorganization was accounted for as a transaction between
entities under common control. As EBS Acquisition II, H&F
Harrington, and the H&F Continuing LLC Members did not
purchase their interests in EBS Master until the 2008
Transaction, this reorganization did not materially impact the
Company’s financial statements through December 31,
2007. The financials statements for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 are presented as if the H&F Continuing
LLC Members represented the minority interest from
February 9, 2008 through June 30, 2008.

Basis of
Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by the Company and, in the opinion
of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited
interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of
operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Minority
Interest
Minority interest represents the minority shareholders’
proportionate share of equity and net income of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Minority interest related to HLTH’s 48% ownership from
November 16, 2006 until the 2008 Transaction was in a net
deficit position as December 31, 2007. As a result, no
minority interest amounts were recorded during this period.
Subsequent to the 2008 Transaction, 22.58% of EBS Master’s
net income and other comprehensive income from February 9,
2008 to June 30, 2008 was allocated to the minority
interest representing the H&F Continuing LLC Members’
ownership of EBS Master LLC. An initial minority interest was
established at the time the H&F Continuing LLC Members
purchased their minority interest based on 22.58% of EBS
Master’s equity at the time of the 2008 Transaction.
Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience, current business factors, and various
other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to
consider in order to form a basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts
of revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the
impact of future events, economic, environmental and political
factors and changes in the Company’s business environment;
therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of
the Company’s financial statements will change as new
events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional
information is obtained and as the Company’s operating
environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when
circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements
in estimation methodologies are reflected in the reported
results of operations; and if material, the effects of changes
in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by
management affect: the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair
value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
business combinations; the carrying value of long-lived assets
(including goodwill and intangible assets); the amortization
period of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill); the carrying
value, capitalization and amortization of software development
costs; the provision and benefit for income taxes and related
deferred tax accounts; certain accrued expenses; revenue
recognition; contingencies; and the value attributed to
stock-based awards.

Business
Combinations
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations
(“SFAS 141”), the purchase price of
businesses the Company acquires is allocated to their
identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair
values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount
allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is
recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation methodology
requires the Company to make assumptions and to apply judgment
to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.
The fair value of assets and liabilities is estimated based on
the appraised market values, the carrying value of the acquired
assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including
discounted cash flows and market multiple analyses. The purchase
price allocation may be adjusted, as necessary, up to one year
after the acquisition closing date as more information is
obtained regarding assets valuations and liabilities assumed.
Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which could
affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including
assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business
strategies, and result in an impairment or a new allocation of
purchase price.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s
best estimate of losses inherent in the Company’s
receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical
experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and
other currently available evidence.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value using
the
first-in,
first-out basis and consists of unprocessed rolled paper, paper
sheet stock, envelopes and inserts. Market value is based on
current replacement cost.
Software
Development Costs
The Company accounts for internal use software development costs
in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP)
No. 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use
(“SOP 98-1’’).
Software development costs that are incurred in the preliminary
project stage are expensed as incurred. Once certain criteria of
SOP 98-1
have been met, direct costs incurred in developing or obtaining
computer software are capitalized. Training and data conversion
costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are
included in property and equipment within the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over a three-year
period.
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
F-42
Emdeon
Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share
and Per Unit Amounts)
The useful lives are generally as follows:
|
|
|
Computer equipment
|
|
3 to 5 years
|
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures
|
|
3 to 7 years
|
Software
|
|
3 years
|
Technology
|
|
6 to 7 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Shorter of useful life or lease term
|
Expenditures for maintenance, repair and renewals of minor items
are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance repair
and renewals that extend the useful life of an asset are
capitalized.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets result from the Company’s
acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method. Intangible
assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
generally as follows:
|
|
|
Customer relationships
|
|
9 to 20 years
|
Trade names
|
|
20 years
|
Non-compete agreements
|
|
2 years
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), the Company
reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually and whenever
indicators of impairment are present. With respect to goodwill,
the Company determines whether potential impairment losses are
present by comparing the carrying value of its reporting units
to the fair value of its reporting units determined using an
income approach valuation. The Company’s reporting units
are determined in accordance with SFAS 142, which defines a
reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an
operating segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is
less than the net assets of the reporting unit, then a
hypothetical purchase price allocation is used to determine the
amount of goodwill impairment. The Company recognized no
impairment in conjunction with its annual SFAS No. 142
analysis in 2007.
Long-Lived
Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived
assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held
and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its
carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash
flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference
between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets
held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value
less costs to sell.
Debt
Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debt. The debt discount recorded to
fair value debt in conjunction with the 2008 Transaction is
amortized over the remaining term of the debt. This amortization
for both of these items is included in interest expense in the
consolidated statement of operations.

(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share

Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the
Company’s interest rate exposure. The Company does not
enter into financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for in accordance
with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
(“SFAS 133”), and related interpretations, and
are measured at fair value and recorded on the balance sheet.
The 2008 Transaction represented a redesignation event under
SFAS 133. As the Company’s interest rate swap did not
meet the criteria of hedge accounting, subsequent changes were
recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statement of
operation.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is
measured in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which
the Company adopted effective January 1, 2008.
SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based
measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a
fair value measurement should be determined based on the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. As a basis for considering market
participant assumptions in fair value measurements,
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that
distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting
entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1
and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own
assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable
inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The
interest rate swap uses observable market-based inputs and falls
within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity-Based
Compensation
Compensation expense related to the Company’s equity-based
awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), using
the modified prospective method. The fair value of the equity
awards is determined by utilizing an independent third-party
valuation using a Black-Scholes model and assumptions as to
expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and the
risk free rate. Certain of the Company’s equity-based
awards are classified as liabilities due to the related
repurchase features. The Company remeasures the fair value of
these awards at each reporting date. These awards are included
in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheets.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company generates revenue by providing products and services
that automate and simplify business and administrative functions
for payers and providers, generally on either per transaction,
per document or per communications basis or, in some cases, on a
flat fee basis. The Company generally charges a one-time
implementation fee to payers and providers at the inception of a
contract in conjunction with related setup and connection to its
network and other systems. In addition, the Company receives
software license fees and software maintenance fees from payers
who utilize the Company’s systems for converting paper
claims into electronic claims and, occasionally, sell additional
software and hardware products.
Revenue for transaction services, patient statements and payment
distribution services are recognized as the services are
provided. Postage fees related to the Company’s payments
distribution and patient statement volumes are recorded on a
gross basis in accordance with EITF 00-10, Accounting
for Shipping and Handling fees and costs. Implementation
fees, software license fees, and software maintenance fees are
amortized to revenue on a straight line basis over the contract
period which generally varies from one to three years. Software
and hardware product sales are recognized once all elements are
delivered and customer acceptance is received.
Cash receipts or billings in advance of revenue recognition are
recorded as deferred revenues in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
F-44
Emdeon
Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share
and Per Unit Amounts)
The Company excludes sales and use tax from revenue in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Income
Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 generally requires
the Company to record deferred income taxes for the tax effect
of differences between book and tax bases of its assets and
liabilities.
Deferred income taxes reflect the available net operating losses
and the net tax effect of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Realization of the future tax benefits related to deferred tax
assets is dependent on many factors, including the
Company’s past earnings history, expected future earnings,
the character and jurisdiction of such earnings, unsettled
circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely
affect utilization of its deferred tax assets, carryback and
carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially
enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.
The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in accordance
with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Net
Income Per Share of Class A and Class B Common
Stock
The Company computes net income per share of Class A and
Class B common stock in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share
(“SFAS 128”) using the two class method.
Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net income per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period.
Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted shares,
and unvested common shares subject to repurchase or
cancellation. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options,
restricted shares, restricted stock units and warrants is
reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the
treasury stock method. The computation of the diluted net income
per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of
Class B common stock, while the diluted net income per
share of Class B common stock does not assume the
conversion of those shares.
The rights, including liquidation and dividend rights, of the
holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B
common stock are identical except with respect to voting. As a
result, and in accordance with EITF Issue
No. 03-6,
Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under
FASB Statement No. 128, the undistributed earnings for
each year are allocated based on the contractual participation
rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if
the earnings for the year had been distributed. As the
liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed
earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, as we
assume the conversion of Class B common stock in the
computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A
common stock, the undistributed earnings are equal to net income
for that computation.
As the Class C and Class D common stock have no
economic interest (only voting interests), no earnings are
allocated to these classes of stock for purposes of computing
earnings per share.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The Company’s revenue is generated in the United States. An
adverse change in economic conditions in the United States could
negatively affect the Company’s revenue and results of
operations.
F-45
Emdeon

(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share
and Per Unit Amounts)
The Company’s cash is swept daily into money market funds
invested primarily in U.S. or government agency obligations in
order to reduce credit exposure.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands
the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and about
hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial
statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives
and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures
about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related
contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 does
not change accounting for derivative instruments and is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Upon
adoption, the Company will include additional disclosures in the
financial statements regarding derivative instruments and
hedging activity.
Related to the 2008 Transaction, affiliates of General Atlantic
and H&F were deemed to be a collaborative group under EITF
Topic
No. D-97,
Push Down Accounting, and the 48% step up in the basis of
the net assets of EBS Master recorded at the General Atlantic

The Company capitalized $19,607 of costs in connection with the
original issuance of long-term debt in November 2006 and $500 in
connection with a 2007 amendment of this debt. In conjunction
with the 2008 Transaction, 48% of the unamortized loan costs
were adjusted to fair value, which resulted in a reduction of
$7,893 of debt issuance costs related to such long-term debt.
As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, the total
unamortized issuance costs were $16,757 and $7,966, respectively.
On November 16, 2006, Emdeon Business Services LLC entered
into two credit agreements with several lenders that provided a
$755 million term loan (“First Lien Term
Loan”), a $50 million revolving credit agreement
(“Revolver”) and a $170 million term loan
(“Second Lien Term Loan”).
The First Lien Term Loan is payable in quarterly principal
installments of approximately $1.9 million, plus accrued
interest beginning in March 2007 through September 2013, with a
balloon payment of the remaining principal amount outstanding
due upon maturity in November 2013. These installment payments
are subject to adjustment based upon optional and mandatory
prepayment activity. Mandatory prepayments related to excess
cash flow, as defined and other circumstances are also required.
The First Lien Term Loan bears interest, payable quarterly,
based upon a variable base rate plus a spread rate (combined
total effective rate was 4.81% as of June 30, 2008).
The Revolver expires November 2012 and provides for revolving
loans not to exceed $50 million, of which $12 million
may be used for letters of credit. The Revolver bears interest
based upon a variable base rate plus a spread rate (combined
total effective rate was 4.31% as of June 30,
2008) and is payable quarterly. As of June 30, 2008,
no borrowings are currently outstanding under the Revolver and
letters of credit totaling $5.8 million were outstanding.
The Second Lien Term Loan is subordinate to the
First Lien Term Loan and matures in May 2014. The
Second Lien Term Loan bears interest based upon a variable
base rate plus a spread rate (combined total effective rate was
7.81% as of June 30, 2008) and is payable quarterly.
The credit agreements require Emdeon Business Services LLC to
maintain certain financial covenants, including a maximum total
leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The credit
agreements also impose restrictions related to capital
expenditures, investments, additional debt or liens, asset
sales, transactions with affiliates, dividends, equity
interests, among other items. Emdeon Business Services LLC
believes it was in
F-48

and Per Unit Amounts)
compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2008. This
debt is secured by substantially all of the assets of Emdeon
Business Services LLC and is guaranteed by EBS Master.
The aggregate amounts of required principal payments are as

In conjunction with the 2008 Transaction, the Company’s
long-term debt was adjusted to fair value, which resulted in a
debt discount of $66,396. As of June 30, 2008, the total
unamortized debt discount was $61,897.
On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an interest
rate swap agreement, which matures in December 2011 to reduce
the variability of cash flows in the interest payments of its
total long-term debt. The notional amount of the swap was
$655,294 and $658,125 as of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. Changes in the cash flows
of the interest rate swap are expected to partially offset the
changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the
variable base rates underlying the Company’s long-term
debt. The fair value of the instrument at December 31, 2007
and June 30, 2008 was $(16,577) and $(16,491) respectively,
and is included in other long-term liabilities on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The change in fair value for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2008 was $7,267 and $86, respectively. Changes in the
fair value of the interest rate swap of $12,502 are reported in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in other
comprehensive income, net of taxes, for the period January 1
through February 8, 2008. The 2008 Transaction represented
a redesignation event under SFAS 133. As the Company’s
interest rate swap did not meet all the criteria for hedge
accounting, the subsequent change in fair value of the
derivative instrument from February 8 to June 30, 2008
of $13,665 reduced interest expense in the consolidated
statement of operations. The change in the fair value for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was reported in other
comprehensive income, net of taxes, in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations. As a result of the
interest rate swap requiring redesignation, the amount of the
swap recognized in other comprehensive income at the time of the
2008 Transaction is amortized over the remaining life of the
swap. This amortization resulted in additional interest expense
of $4,674 for the six months ending June 30, 2008.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in
various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate
resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the
Company does not believe that their outcomes will have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Equity-Based
Compensation Plan
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company
issued 320,379 Grant Units under the EBS Executive Incentive
Plan (the “EBS Equity Plan”) with a fair value of
$1,650. Unless earlier vested by the
F-49
Emdeon
Inc.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited and Amounts In Thousands, Except Share, Per Share
and Per Unit Amounts)
EBS Master board of directors, the Grant units issued vest
in three equal tranches and each tranche will vest in equal
installments on a quarterly basis over a period of four years.
The other Grant Units issued under the EBS Equity Plan vest
ratably over a five year period. The Company accounts for these
awards as liability awards due to the existence of certain
repurchase features, and as a result, the fair value is updated
at each reporting period. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recognized expense of
$1,553 and $4,715, respectively, related to equity-based
compensation.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2008 amounted to $9,663 and $7,646, respectively. The
Company’s effective tax rate was 45.1% for the first six
months of 2008 compared with 53.8% during the same period in
2007. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by
deferred tax expense resulting from differences between the GAAP
and income tax basis of its investment in the EBS Master
LLC partnership. Additionally, the Company has recorded a
valuation allowance against the benefit of its tax net operating
losses.
The Company recognized a $1,353 increase in its liability for
uncertain tax positions during the six months ended
June 30, 2008, net of certain benefits associated with
state net operating losses, which is recorded as an adjustment
to the valuation allowance.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of
unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

|
|
The Company does not currently anticipate that the total amount
of unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or
decrease in the next twelve months. The Company’s
U.S. federal and state income tax returns for tax years
2006 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”).
Company policy is to record interest and penalties as a part of
tax provision expense. Due to the existence of net operating
losses, no interest or penalties have been recognized in the
periods shown.

Management views the Company’s operating results in three
reportable segments: (a) payer services, (b) provider
services, and (c) pharmacy services. Listed below are the
results of operations for each of the reportable segments. This
information is reflected in the manner utilized by management to
make operating decisions, assess performance and allocate
resources. The accounting policies of the reportable segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements included in the Company’s 2007 audited financial
statements.
Payer
Services Segment
The payer services segment provides claims management and
payment distribution products and services to healthcare payers,
both directly and through our channel partners, that simplify
the administration of healthcare related to insurance
eligibility and benefit verification, claims filing and claims,
and payment distribution.
Provider
Services Segment
The provider services segment provides revenue cycle management
solutions, patient billing and payment and dental services to
healthcare providers, both directly and through our channel
partners, that simplify the providers’ revenue cycle,
reduce related costs and improve cash flow.
Pharmacy
Services Segment
The Pharmacy Services segment provides solutions and services to
pharmacies and pharmacy benefit management companies related to
prescription benefit claim filing, adjudication and management.
Inter-segment revenue and expenses primarily represents claims
management and patient statement provided between segments.
Corporate and eliminations includes personnel and other costs
associated with the Company’s management, administrative
and other corporate services functions and eliminations to
remove inter-segment revenues and expenses.

Item 14.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
|
Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors and
Officers. Section 145(a) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation
shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation, because the person is or
was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may
be against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have
reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was
unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law
provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director or
officer of the corporation, against any expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law
provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director or officer of the corporation against any
liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or
arising out of the person’s status as such, whether or not
the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person
against such liability under the provisions of the law. Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide
that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a
director will not be liable to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
II-1
In addition, our by-laws provide that we will indemnify each
director and officer and may indemnify employees and agents, as
determined by our board, to the fullest extent provided by the
laws of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions
of section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and
provisions that will be included in our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
the limitation of directors’ personal liability to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duties as a director except for (i) any breach
of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
the law, (iii) breaches under section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or
redemptions, and (iv) any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have
been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Reference is made to Item 17 for our undertakings with
respect to indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance for our officers and directors.
Our Underwriting Agreement for this offering will provide that
each underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
us, each of our directors, each of our officers who signs the
registration statement, and each person who controls Emdeon Inc.
within the meaning of the Securities Act but only with respect
to written information relating to such underwriter furnished to
Emdeon Inc. by or on behalf of such underwriter specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity.
We expect to enter into an indemnification agreement with each
of our executive officers and directors that provides, in
general, that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent
permitted by law in connection with their service to us or on
our behalf.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide
to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting
agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as
of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that
contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
