Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 30, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WebMD Health Corp. (“WebMD”) reconstituted the following standing Committees of the Board, with the revised memberships to become effective on November 15, 2014:

•

Audit Committee: James V. Manning (Chairperson), Neil F. Dimick and William J. Marino;

•

Compensation Committee: Mark J. Adler, M.D. (Chairperson), Stanley S. Trotman, Jr. and Joseph E. Smith; and

•

Nominating & Governance Committee: Neil F. Dimick (Chairperson), Jerome C. Keller and Kristiina Vuori, M.D.

The changes to the memberships of these Committees will be as follows: Mr. Marino will be joining the Audit Committee, replacing Mr. Trotman; Mr. Trotman will be joining the Compensation Committee, replacing Herman Sarkowsky; and Dr. Vuori will be joining the Nominating & Governance Committee.

On October 30, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the following annual retainers for service by non-employee directors on the Board and its Committees:


*Type of Service*	*Annual Retainer*
Membership on the Board	$	40,000
Membership on Audit Committee	$	20,000
Chairperson of Audit Committee	$	12,000
Membership on Compensation Committee	$	12,500
Chairperson of Compensation Committee	$	4,000
Membership on Nominating & Governance Committee	$	10,000
Chairperson of Nominating & Governance Committee	$	3,000

These annual retainers had not been increased since the October 2009 merger of WebMD and HLTH Corporation. The scheduled payment date for the annual retainers is November 15, 2014 and the retainers will be payable in WebMD Common Stock, based on the closing price of WebMD Common Stock on November 14, 2014 (since November 15 is not a trading day) and based on the Committee memberships listed above. The shares issued in payment of such retainers are not subject to vesting requirements or forfeiture. In recent years, these retainers had been payable by WebMD on each October 23 (the anniversary of the 2009 merger with HLTH). In 2014, no payment of annual retainers has yet been made and November 15 will be the only scheduled payment date for such retainers this year. In future years, the scheduled payment date for the annual retainers for WebMD’s non-employee directors will be November 15, unless changed by the Compensation Committee.
