In connection with the Special Meeting disclosed under Item 5.07 of this Form 8-K, on August 13, 2010, Eclipsys issued a press release announcing that (i) at the Special Meeting Eclipsys stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement and (ii) at the special meeting of the stockholders of Allscripts held on August 13, 2010, Allscripts’ stockholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of Allscripts common stock to the stockholders of Eclipsys pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

At a general meeting of the shareholders of Misys plc (“Misys”) held on August 13, 2010, the Misys shareholders approved, among other things, the transactions (the “Coniston Transactions”) contemplated by the previously announced Framework Agreement dated June 9, 2010 by and among Allscripts, Misys and Eclipsys (solely as a third party beneficiary of certain provisions therein), as amended on July 26, 2010 (the “Framework Agreement”).

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement remain subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain closing conditions that have not yet been satisfied, including (i) the sale of no fewer than 25 million shares of Allscripts common stock in a public offering at a public offering price of no less than $16.50 per share, (ii) the completion of a buyback from Misys of additional Allscripts shares owned by Misys, which is contingent upon the completion of the financing contemplated by the previously announced commitment letter entered into by and among Allscripts, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, UBS Loan Finance LLC and certain of their affiliates and (iii) other customary closing conditions, including the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Allscripts or Eclipsys.
