Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed, WebMD Health Corp. holds investments in auction rate securities backed by student loans, 97% guaranteed under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). We refer to these Student Loan Auction Rate Securities as ARS. As previously disclosed, WebMD entered into certain credit facilities with an affiliate of Citigroup (the “Credit Facilities”), secured by WebMD’s ARS holdings. Pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the ARS and the Loan Facilities contained in Note 16 (Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Recourse Credit Facilities) to the Consolidated Financial Statements of WebMD included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
     The Credit Facilities were scheduled to terminate on April 27, 2010. No borrowings were made under the Credit Facilities. Effective April 20, 2010, the Credit Facilities were terminated and WebMD and CMGI entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which WebMD has sold all $348 million principal amount of its holdings of ARS, which had a carrying value of $275 million, to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (“CGMI”) for $286 million. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, WebMD has the right, for a period of two years from the date of the Purchase Agreement: (a) to repurchase the same principal amount of any or all of the various series of ARS sold to CGMI at the agreed upon purchase prices; and (b) to receive additional proceeds upon certain redemptions of ARS. WebMD originally recorded a loss of $60 million relating to its holding of ARS in its income statement in the March 2008 quarter. However, the Company was required to reclassify $27 million of that charge as an unrealized loss through stockholders’ equity when WebMD adopted FAS 115-2 effective April 1, 2009, which had the effect of increasing the cost basis of the ARS by that amount. Additionally, the Company recorded an additional $14 million in unrealized losses to stockholders’ equity through the date of sale of the ARS. As a result, WebMD expects to (a) record a pre-tax non-cash charge of up to approximately $30 million in its income statement during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and (b) record an increase in stockholders’ equity of approximately $11 million in its balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, which represents the difference between the carrying value of its holdings of ARS and the proceeds received under this Purchase Agreement.
Item 1.02.   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
     To the extent required by Item 1.02 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report regarding the termination of the Credit Facilities is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.02.
Item 2.01.   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     To the extent required by Item 2.01 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.01.
Item 2.06.   Material Impairments.
     To the extent required by Item 2.06 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.06.
