The Company plans to file with the SEC and mail to its shareholders a Proxy Statement in connection with the transaction. The Proxy Statement will contain important information about the Company, the transaction and related matters. Investors and security holders are urged to read the Proxy Statement carefully when it is available.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company through the web site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

In addition, investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement from the Company by contacting Investor Relations, IDX Systems Corporation, 40 IDX Drive, P.O. Box 1070, South Burlington, Vermont 05403, telephone: (802) 862-1022.

The Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its proxy statement dated April 21, 2005, both of which are filed with the SEC.

A more complete description will be available in the Proxy Statement.

SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the proposed merger transaction, the expected completion of the transaction, future financial and operating results, benefits and synergies of the transaction, future opportunities for the combined company and other statements about expectations, beliefs, goals and plans constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should be considered to be forward- looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including the ability to consummate the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain shareholder approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to the closing of the proposed transaction, the ability to recognize the benefits of the transaction, intense competition in the Company’s industry, changes in government regulation, failure to manage the integration of the Company and Buyer, and other risks that are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent the Company’s estimates only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s estimates as of any subsequent date. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this release, except as required by law.
