HLTH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY
RESULTS OF ITS TENDER OFFER
ELMWOOD PARK, NJ (November 26, 2008) — HLTH Corporation (Nasdaq: HLTH) announced today the preliminary results of its tender offer to purchase up to 80,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $8.80 per share, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on November 25, 2008. Based on the preliminary count by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Depositary for the tender offer, 86,145,082 shares of common stock (including approximately 25 million shares that were tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery) were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer and in compliance with Rule 13e-4(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, HLTH will purchase an additional 3,699,922 shares pursuant to the tender offer, representing approximately two percent of the number of shares of common stock currently outstanding, the maximum increase permitted without amending or extending the tender offer. Accordingly, HLTH expects to accept for purchase a total of 83,699,922 shares that were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at a purchase price of $8.80 per share, for a total cost of approximately $736.6 million.
Since the offer was oversubscribed, the number of shares HLTH will purchase from each tendering shareholder will be pro-rated. Based upon the preliminary count, HLTH estimates that the pro-ration factor will be approximately 97.16%. The number of shares tendered and not withdrawn and the pro-ration factor are preliminary and are subject to: verification by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company; the proper delivery of all shares tendered and not properly withdrawn (including shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures); and the impact of odd-lot tenders. The actual number of shares validly tendered and not withdrawn and the pro-ration factor will be announced promptly following completion of the verification process. Promptly after such announcement, the Depositary will issue payment for the shares validly tendered and accepted under the tender offer and will return all other shares tendered. It is currently expected that payment of all shares purchased will be made on or about December 2, 2008.
As of November 25, 2008, HLTH had approximately 185.0 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the tender offer, HLTH expects to have approximately 101.3 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the time immediately following payment for the accepted shares.
