ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

        This Amendment No. 6 to statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the Common Stock, Par Value $.125 Per Share (the “Common Stock”), of NDCHEALTH CORPORATION, a DELAWARE corporation (the “Issuer”), the principal executive offices of which are located at NDC PLAZA, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30329-2010. This Amendment No. 6 amends and restates in full each of the items set forth below. Terms not defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D originally deemed filed on April 7, 2004 (“Original Schedule 13D”).

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

        MMI Investments purchased the Shares as part of its investment activities. The Reporting Persons intend to review and evaluate the investment by MMI Investments in the Common Stock of the Issuer on an ongoing basis and may, depending upon their evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer, or such other considerations as they may deem relevant, determine to increase (but not to more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock), decrease, or dispose of MMI Investments’ holdings of Common Stock. As a part of such review and evaluation, the Reporting Persons may communicate with the Issuer’s management, directors and other shareholders, including, without limitation, as described in the following paragraphs.

        MMI Investments submitted to the Issuer, for inclusion in its proxy statement for its 2004 annual meeting, a shareholder proposal (“Proposal”) requesting that the Board of Directors engage a leading investment bank to analyze strategic alternatives for maximizing shareholder value, including but not limited to acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations and sale to or merger with a third party; a copy of that Proposal, related supporting statement and related letter to the Issuer is filed herewith as Exhibit 2. Although MMI Investments had held in excess of $2,000 worth of the Issuer’s common stock only since July 10, 2003, and therefore did not meet the Rule 14a-8 requirement for such a holding for one year at the required time of the Proposal’s submission, MMI Investments based on its belief that the Proposal otherwise met the 14a-8 requirements requested that the Issuer waive the one year requirement. The Issuer subsequently obtained concurrence from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Proposal could be excluded from its proxy statement under Rule 14a-8.

        On July 14, 2004, the Reporting Persons transmitted to the Issuer notice (“Notice”), filed herewith as Exhibit 3, in accordance with the Issuer’s By-Laws, of a separate proposal (“Stockholder Value Proposal”) — similar to the Proposal — to be moved at the Issuer’s annual meeting. MMI’s revised definitive proxy materials relating to the Stockholder Value Proposal filed with the Commission on September 21, 2004 may be viewed on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. The Reporting Persons solicited proxies from the holders of at least 50.01% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock in favor of the Stockholder Value Proposal in accordance with the proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on premliminary indications, MMI believes that the Stockholder Value Proposal was approved at the Issuer's October 28, 2004 annual meeting by a majority of the outstanding shares at a better than five-to-one margin. A copy of MMI's press release issued on October 28, 2004, concerning the vote on the Stockholder Value Proposal and its significance is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.

        As a result of some or all of the actions described in the preceding paragraph, MMI Investments may no longer be able to rely on the exemption under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) for shares held solely for investment purposes. In order to retain its flexibility to determine, as described above, to increase (but not to more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer) MMI Investments’ holdings of Common Stock where the value of such holdings upon any such increase exceeds $50 million, MMI Investments on May 17, 2004, filed a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act, seeking clearance for such acquisitions. MMI Investments was granted early termination of the waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act on June 7, 2004.

        Other than as described in this Item 4, neither Reporting Person, nor, to the knowledge of each Reporting Person, any individuals listed on Schedule I, has any current plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; PROVIDED that the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

        See Exhibit Index appearing elsewhere herein, which is incorporated herein by reference.

PRESS RELEASE



NDCHEALTH CORPORATION (NYSE: NDC) STOCKHOLDERS OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVE STOCKHOLDER VALUE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY MMI INVESTMENTS, A 9.7% NDC STOCKHOLDER, BY A BETTER THAN FIVE-TO-ONE MARGIN BASED ON EARLY INDICATIONS.


MMI CALLS ON THE NDC BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TO HEED THE STOCKHOLDERS' CLEAR MESSAGE: "RESTORE STOCKHOLDER VALUE, NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL”

      

ATLANTA, October 28, 2004 – MMI Investments, L.P. (MMI), the owner of 9.7% of NDCHealth Corporation’s stock (NYSE: NDC), announced that preliminary indications show overwhelming stockholder approval of MMI’s Stockholder Value Proposal at NDC’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders today.

MMI’s Stockholder Value Proposal requests that, due to the prolonged poor performance of NDC’s stock and the failure of Management’s “Eight-Quarter Plan”, NDC’s Board engage a leading investment bank to analyze and provide a written report to the Board on all strategic alternatives available to maximize stockholder value.

Clay Lifflander, President of MMI’s General Partner, commented: “We are gratified by the extraordinary level of support shown by our fellow stockholders, which we believe has resulted in a record vote for such a proposal, marking the first time such a plan has been approved by stockholders in recent history. We believe that our Stockholder Value Proposal was approved by a majority of the outstanding shares at a better than five-to-one margin.

“The NDC Board and management received a very clear message from the company’s owners today: ‘Act quickly and decisively to restore stockholder value, no more business as usual’.

“While the Stockholder Value Proposal is precatory due to the requirements of Delaware corporate law, we see today’s vote as a mandate that the Board and management MUST not ignore. They must move quickly to engage a leading independent investment bank to review all strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value, and to provide a written report of its findings. Nothing less will do”

MMI expects final voting results to be released sometime next week.
