Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
 
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     Amendment to Merger Agreement
     On May 6, 2008, HLTH Corporation and WebMD Health Corp. entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger that they had entered into on February 20, 2008 (the “Original Merger Agreement” and, as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that HLTH will merge into WebMD, with WebMD continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each outstanding share of HLTH common stock will be converted into 0.1979 shares of WebMD common stock and $6.89 in cash, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Merger Consideration”). The shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock currently outstanding will remain outstanding following the Merger.
     As previously disclosed, HLTH has investments in certain auction rate securities (ARS) with a face amount of approximately $194.5 million, excluding the ARS investments held by WebMD. For additional information regarding these ARS investments, see Item 2.03 of this Current Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
     Under the Original Merger Agreement, HLTH was required, as a condition to closing the Merger, to have liquidated its ARS holdings and the Original Merger Agreement provided that the aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration would be reduced by the difference between the face amount of the ARS and the amount of proceeds received from their sale. The Original Merger Agreement has been modified to reflect the flexibility and additional liquidity afforded by the Credit Facility that HLTH has entered into described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report (the “HLTH Credit Facility”). Under the Merger Agreement, HLTH is not required to sell its ARS holdings as a condition to closing if the outstanding loan amount, under the HLTH Credit Facility, is equal to 75% of the face amount of the ARS investments held by HLTH at the effective

time of the Merger or if HLTH would be capable of satisfying, as of that time, all of the conditions to making a drawdown of that amount. In either such case, the reduction in the aggregate cash consideration payable in the Merger would be fixed at $48.6 million (which is 25% of the face amount of HLTH’s ARS holdings), or approximately $0.27 per share (based on the number of shares of HLTH Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Current Report). To the extent that HLTH, instead, sells some or all of its ARS holdings for greater than 75% of the face amount, the reduction in the aggregate cash portion of the merger consideration with respect to the ARS that are sold would be based on the actual sale price for those holdings. The Amendment was approved by the Boards of Directors of HLTH and WebMD and by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of WebMD. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Additional Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It:
     In connection with the proposed Merger, HLTH and WebMD expect to file, with the SEC, a proxy statement/prospectus as part of a registration statement regarding the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus because it will contain important information about HLTH and WebMD and the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents when filed by HLTH and WebMD with the SEC at www.sec.gov or www.hlth.com or www.wbmd.com. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant material when they become available before making any voting or investment decisions with respect to the Merger.
Participants in the Merger
     HLTH, WebMD, their directors and certain of their executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about the directors and executive officers of HLTH and WebMD and their respective interests in the proposed transactions will be set forth or incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus that HLTH and WebMD will file with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about the directors and executive officers of HLTH is available in Item 10 of HLTH’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2007, included in an Amendment to that Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2008. Information about the directors and executive officers of WebMD is available in Item 10 of WebMD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2007, included in an Amendment to that Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2008. Investors may obtain additional information regarding the interests of such participants by reading the proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available.

     To the extent required by Item 1.01 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     As previously disclosed, HLTH currently holds investments in certain auction rate securities (ARS) backed by student loans with a face amount of approximately $362.3 million, of which ARS with a face amount of approximately $167.8 million are held by WebMD. HLTH and WebMD have each entered into a non-recourse credit facility (each a “Credit Facility”) from Citigroup secured by their respective ARS holdings (including, in some circumstances, interest payable on the ARS holdings), that will allow HLTH and WebMD to borrow up to 75% of the face amount of the ARS holdings pledged as collateral under the respective Credit Facilities. The Credit Facilities are each governed by a loan agreement, dated as of May 6, 2008, containing customary representations and warranties of the borrower and certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants relating to the pledged collateral. Under each of the loan agreements, the borrower and the lender may, in certain circumstances, cause the pledged collateral to be sold, with the proceeds of any such sale required to be applied in full immediately to repayment of amounts borrowed.
     No borrowings have been made under either Credit Facility to date. WebMD and HLTH can each make borrowings under their respective Credit Facilities until May 2009. The interest rate applicable to such borrowings will be 1-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. Any borrowings outstanding under the respective Credit Facilities after March 2009 become demand loans, subject to 60 days notice, with recourse only to the pledged collateral.
