Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

General

Philip D. Green, M. Fazle Husain and Michael J. Kluger are the members of the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Committee is independent as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq’s listing standards. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee charter, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to determine the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to review and approve the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers, and to review the compensation of the Company’s directors and recommend changes in the directors’ compensation to the Board of Directors. The Committee also oversees the administration of the Company’s incentive compensation plans, equity-based compensation plans and any material employee benefit, bonus, retirement, severance or other compensation plan. During 2007, the Compensation Committee met five times. The Committee has adopted a charter that specifies the composition and responsibilities of the Committee, which is posted on our website at www.allscripts.com and is available to stockholders upon written request made to our Secretary at the corporate address shown on the cover of this Form 10K/A.

Executive Pay Policy

The Compensation Committee seeks to establish and implement a compensation system for the Company’s executive officers that is performance-oriented and designed to meet the following objectives:

 

   

Enable the Company to attract, motivate and retain its executive officers by providing incentives which are competitive in the executive market;

 

   

Reward outstanding performance for an individual’s direct contribution to company and business unit goals;

 

   

Provide long-term incentive compensation through equity grants;

Table of Contents
   

Provide for compensation that is both externally competitive and internally equitable; and

 

   

Ensure our officers’ compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives, and the long-term interest of our stockholders.

The principal components of the compensation program for the Company’s executive officers are base salary, quarterly cash payments under an annual bonus award plan and long-term incentive compensation in the form of restricted stock. The Company also provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan with matching contributions, group health and welfare plans, group term life insurance and severance benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances, including following a change of control of the Company. The Company does not maintain supplemental retirement programs or defined benefit pension plans for its executive officers because the Committee believes that the existing compensation arrangements enable the Company’s executive officers to adequately plan for their retirement.

Under the direction of the Compensation Committee, the Company has entered into employment agreements with each of its Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). Based on its experience with the Company, the Committee believes that employment agreements with shorter terms and annual performance reviews promote better performance by Company executives. One component of the NEO employment agreements is the severance arrangements. Each employment agreement provides for the payment of specified severance benefits upon termination of the Named Executive Officer’s employment with the Company under certain circumstances. The Committee believes that it is necessary to enter into severance arrangements in order to attract and retain qualified executive officers. For a detailed discussion of the Company’s employment agreements with its Named Executive Officers, see “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table” included in this Form 10K/A.

Specific Compensation Programs

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs for its executive officers are competitive and appropriately designed to attract and retain key employees, reward performance and promote long-term shareholder value. The Committee plans to continue to review the compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers, periodically evaluate the Company’s compensation practices against competitive data and to make changes to the Company’s compensation structure to ensure that the programs are designed and implemented to achieve the Committee’s stated goals.

The Compensation Committee relies on various sources of information to establish and maintain the Company’s compensation programs and also relies on the experience and knowledge it has gained over the years from the administration of the Company’s compensation programs. The Committee also considers information and recommendations provided to it by management, including benchmarking data that management has obtained from third parties. No executive officer participates in the Committee’s deliberations over any component of his or her own compensation. The Compensation Committee has evaluated the base salary, annual bonus plan and long-term incentive compensation for various members of senior management of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers. In particular, the Compensation Committee has compared Allscripts’ compensation programs for our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) against those offered by a group of companies that include other healthcare software companies and general software companies in our peer group. The Compensation Committee has used the information to assist it in evaluating the levels and competitiveness of the Company’s compensation structure and meeting the Committee’s stated compensation objectives. The Compensation Committee compared the compensation levels of the CEO, CFO, President and COO with a peer group consisting of the following companies:

 

Healthcare Software Companies

  

Software Companies

Eclipsys Corporation

  

Quest Software, Inc.

The Trizetto Group, Inc.

Allscripts engaged an outside firm to prepare a compensation analysis report that was provided to the Compensation Committee in January 2008. The compensation analysis report used data made available from Equilar, Inc., a nationally recognized executive compensation database, and it compared the compensation of Allscripts’ CEO, CFO, President and COO to the compensation of similar executives at the companies included in the peer group listed above. The compensation figures in the analysis were prepared with information available as of January 21, 2008 and are reported for each company’s last fiscal year furnished in a proxy statement. Due to the timing of proxy filings this translates to using data points in the compensation report which are generally two years old.

Using the data compiled in the Equilar compensation study, our executive officers fall in the following compensation ranges when compared to the peer group. The metrics evaluated to arrive at total compensation include salary, annual bonus, stock awards and stock options valued at grant date fair value and other compensation as reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” included in this Form 10K/A.

 

     CEO   CFO   President   COO

Minimum 2006 Total Compensation

   $623,400   $339,300   $364,600   $520,400

Maximum 2006 Total Compensation

Based on the compensation data gathered in January 2008 with respect to the most recently reported fiscal year and with the rationale of more closely aligning compensation to that of the peer group, the minimum and maximum total target annual compensation amounts, based on salary, bonus, long-term incentive compensation, retirement and perquisites, shown in the table below were recommended by the firm for the following Allscripts’ executives:

(1) Figures obtained from the “Summary Compensation Table” included in this Form 10K/A.
(2) Allscripts’ incentive compensation plan is designed to reward individuals for superior achievement over and above the expected, day-to-day performance of their respective job duties and responsibilities. In 2007, Allscripts’ revenue topped $280 million and its net income reached $20 million compared to revenue of $228 million and net income of $12 million in 2006. Despite this revenue and net income growth, Allscripts’ shares, as of December 31, 2007 were trading approximately 35-40% lower than the 52-week high during 2007, after failing to meet quarterly market expectations since June 2007. Due to our stock performance and since the 2007 financial targets were not met, no cash incentives were paid to the NEOs during 2007, however, Mr. Bulkley is contractually entitled to a $50,000 cash bonus but Mr. Bulkley has voluntarily deferred the receipt of such bonus until he provides further notice to Allscripts. This column includes the compensation that would have been awarded to the respective executive officers had their target bonus, 50% of their salary, been awarded in 2007.

As is evident in the table above and based on the peer group, Allscripts executive compensation (including and excluding the target bonus) falls below the minimum total target annual compensation range, with the exception of Allscripts’ CFO. Based on Allscripts’ overall financial growth, the compensation analysis above and for other reasons summarized under “Executive Pay Policy” in this Form 10K/A, the Compensation Committee increased Allscripts’ executive salaries as described below, effective February 15, 2008, and issued restricted stock to our executives during January 2008 to bring our executive compensation packages more in line with target compensation ranges.

Table of Contents

Base Salary. Base salaries are paid to the Company’s executive officers to compensate them for the performance of their respective job duties and responsibilities. The Committee reviews base salaries of the Company’s executive officers on an annual basis. In setting annual base salaries, the Committee takes into consideration the Company’s overall financial and operating performance in the prior year, the Company-wide target for base salary increases for all employees, market and competitive salary information, changes in the scope of an executive officer’s job responsibilities and other relevant factors. The Committee also reviews the executive officer’s performance and the performance of the divisions, business units and departments for which he or she is responsible. For the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and determines the salary adjustment. For the other executive officers, the Committee receives an evaluation from the Chief Executive Officer on the executive officer’s performance and a recommendation for a salary adjustment.

Using the data compiled in the Equilar compensation study, our executive officers fall in the following salary ranges when compared to the peer group defined above using data compiled for the year ended December 31, 2006:

 

     CEO   CFO   President   COO

Minimum 2006 Salary

   $150,000   $208,800   $206,400   $111,700

Maximum 2006 Salary

Based on the annual reviews of the Company’s executive officers during 2006 and 2007 and the competitive salary information disclosed above, the Compensation Committee approved the base salary increases for the Named Executive Officers set forth below. Each salary adjustment for 2007 was effective as of January 1, 2007, with the exception of Mr. Bulkley, who has an effective date of April 24, 2007 which coincides with his hire date. The Compensation Committee determined the 2008 salary increases and stock grants based on a number of considerations, including an analysis of compensation arrangements at a number of comparable healthcare software and general software companies, the Company’s year-over-year performance in revenue growth and earnings as compared to prior years and that of other comparable companies, the relative complexity of the business challenges faced by management and the environment in which the Company competes and the absence of equity grants to many of the officers over the prior 18 months. The salary adjustments for 2008 are effective as of February 15, 2008 although, due to the fact that the Company did not meet revenue and net income targets for 2007, the NEOs have voluntarily foregone the increases until the NEOs provide further notice:

Annual Employee Incentive Compensation Plan. We have one cash bonus plan, the Executive Management Bonus Plan (“EMBP”), in which NEOs participate. This plan, which is described below, provides cash compensation to NEOs only if, and to the extent that, performance conditions set by the Compensation Committee are met.

The EMBP applies to all NEOs and provides for payment ranges and targets based on attainment of three performance objectives:

1. Corporate or Business Unit revenue attainment (32% weighting)

Table of Contents

2. Corporate or Business Unit operating income attainment (48% weighting)

3. Quarterly attainment of individual objectives (20% weighting)

Performance objectives for the EMBP are developed through a systematic process. Based on a review of business plans, management, including the NEOs, develops preliminary recommendations for Compensation Committee review. The Committee reviews management’s preliminary recommendations and establishes final financial targets and individual objectives. In establishing final targets, the Committee strives to ensure that the incentives provided pursuant to the EMBP are consistent with the strategic goals set by the Board, that the goals set based on the financial budget are sufficiently ambitious so as to provide a meaningful incentive and that bonus payments, assuming target levels of budgeted performance are attained, will be consistent with the overall NEO compensation program established by the Committee. If target levels of performances are attained, the payout is generally 50% of base salary. For 2007, the revenue goal to receive a target EMBP payout was $331 million and the operating income target, before inclusion of bonus expense, stock-based compensation expense and deal-related amortization, was $73 million.

Allscripts incentive compensation plan is designed to reward individuals for superior achievement over and above the expected, day-to-day performance of their respective job duties and responsibilities. In 2007, Allscripts’ revenue topped $280 million and its net income reached $20 million compared to revenue of $228 million and net income of $12 million in 2006. Despite this revenue and net income growth, Allscripts’ shares, as of December 31, 2007 were trading approximately 35-40% lower than the 52-week high during 2007, after failing to meet quarterly market expectations since June 2007. Due to our stock performance and since the 2007 financial targets were not met, no cash incentives were paid to the NEOs during 2007, however, Mr. Bulkley is contractually entitled to a $50,000 cash bonus but Mr. Bulkley has voluntarily deferred the receipt of such bonus until he provides further notice to Allscripts. The Committee reserves the discretion to reduce or not pay bonuses under the EMBP even when the relevant performance targets are met.

The incentive awards under the EMBP are generally determined and paid on a quarterly basis, 45 days following the end of the latest fiscal quarter. The Chief Executive Officer submits his recommendations for incentive awards for the executive officers other than himself to the Committee for their review and approval based on the ranges and targets identified in the plan, the performance measures discussed above and the Chief Executive Officer’s assessment of the individual’s achievements and objectives attainment. In accordance with the Compensation Committee charter and established practice, the quarterly cash incentive award for the Chief Executive Officer is determined solely by the Committee in closed session outside the presence of the Chief Executive Officer.

Stock-Based Awards. Under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant executive officers and other employees incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and other forms of stock-based awards. On January 1, 2006, Allscripts adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”). FAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize stock-based compensation expense related to all stock awards issued to employees, including options, in the statement of operations based on their fair values on the date of the grant and after applying an estimated forfeiture rate. Due to the accounting requirements mandated by the adoption of FAS 123(R), Allscripts does not expect to grant options to employees in the future, and instead, expects to use awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units as stock-based incentives to employees. The issuance of restricted stock for the Company’s executive officers is subject to the Committee’s discretion and is generally tied to the overall financial and operating performance of the Company, the individual performance of the executive officer and the performance of the business unit, department or function for which he or she is responsible. Restricted stock awards generally vest 25% on each of the first four anniversary dates from the date of grant. The holders of restricted shares, but not unvested restricted stock units, are entitled to vote and receive dividends, if any, declared and paid on the Company’s common stock.

The Committee believes its Stock Incentive Plan and the related issuance of restricted stock is consistent with its stated objective of establishing an executive compensation system program that aligns the long-term interest of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee awarded the 2008 stock grants set forth below based on a number of considerations, including an analysis of compensation arrangements at a number of comparable healthcare software and general software companies, the Company’s year-over-year performance in revenue growth and earnings as compared to prior years and that of other comparable companies, the relative complexity of the business challenges faced by management and the environment in which the Company competes, the absence of equity grants to many of the Officers over the prior 18 months and the desirability of using equity grants to further align the interests of management with the stockholders of the Company. The Compensation Committee approved the restricted stock award grants set forth below in 2007 and 2008.

All of the foregoing awards are subject to the Company’s standard four-year vesting schedule. All equity-based awards are made by the Compensation Committee. The Committee does not delegate this responsibility to executive officers. The Compensation Committee has not selected a particular time each year in which equity-based awards are granted. There is no program, plan, or practice to time grants to our executives in coordination with the release of material non-public information. All stock option and restricted stock grants to executive officers have been in amounts approved solely by the Compensation Committee, a committee of independent directors. The exercise price of all stock option grants to executive officers has been the closing market price on the date of the grant.

Perquisites

Allscripts generally does not provide its Named Executive Officers with significant perquisites and personal benefits in excess of $10,000. However, during 2007, Allscripts reimbursed Mr. Bulkley and Ms. McGraw for the expenses incurred to relocate to the corporate office located in Chicago, Illinois.

The total perquisites provided to each NEO are described in footnote 4 to the “Summary Compensation Table” included in this Form 10K/A and includes relocation expense payments and parking expense payments.

Severance Arrangements in Employment Agreements

Allscripts has entered into severance arrangements as a component of the employment agreements with members of our senior management team, including the NEOs. These agreements provide for payments and other benefits if the officer’s employment terminates for a qualifying event or circumstance, such as being terminated without “Cause” or leaving employment for “Constructive Discharge,” as these terms are defined in the employment agreements. For our NEOs, “Constructive Discharge” includes a termination by the executive following a “Change of Control” (as defined in their respective employment agreements). A termination following a “Change of Control” generally results in the NEOs receiving additional compensation. Additional information regarding the employment agreements, including a quantification of benefits that would have been received by our NEOs had termination occurred on December 31, 2007, is found under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-of-Control” in this Form 10K/A.

Table of Contents

The Committee believes that these severance and change of control arrangements are an important part of overall compensation for our NEOs. The Committee believes that these agreements will help to secure the continued employment and dedication of our NEOs, notwithstanding any concern that they might have at such time regarding their own continued employment, prior to or following a change of control. The Committee also believes that these agreements are important as a recruitment and retention device, as many of the companies with which we compete for executive talent have similar agreements in place for their senior employees.

Tax Considerations

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), a company generally may not deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the other four most highly compensated officers. Certain “performance based compensation” is not included in compensation for purposes of the limit. The structure of Allscripts’ executive compensation program has not historically given rise to Section 162(m) concerns, although it could do so in 2008 and in future years. The Compensation Committee recognizes the desirability of preserving the deductibility of payments made to the Named Executive Officers and will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices. However, the Compensation Committee believes that it must maintain flexibility in its approach in order to structure a program that is the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining the Company’s key executives.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. oversees Allscripts’ compensation program on behalf of the Board. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above.

In reliance on the review and discussions referred to above, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the Company’s Proxy Statement to be filed in connection with the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table

Employment Agreements

Allscripts entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Tullman and Shapiro effective July 8, 2002 and amended effective January 1, 2005 and July 7, 2006, with Mr. Davis effective October 8, 2002 and amended effective January 1, 2005 and July 7, 2006, with Mr. Bulkley effective April 24, 2007 and with Ms. McGraw effective January 31, 2003 and amended effective April 17, 2003 and July 7, 2006. In the case of Messrs. Tullman, Shapiro, Davis and Ms. McGraw, the term of the agreement will expire on December 31, 2008, but Allscripts may renew each agreement for additional one-year periods. Mr. Bulkley’s agreement has an initial term of one year, expiring April 24, 2008 but may be renewed for additional one year periods upon written notice from the Company.

Under the employment agreements, as amended, each of the Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive the following base salaries in 2008 although, due to the fact the Company did not meet financial targets for 2007, the NEOs have voluntarily foregone the increases until the NEOs provide further notice:

 

Name

   2008 Salary

   475,000

Benjamin E. Bulkley, Chief Operating Officer

   420,000

Laurie A.S. McGraw, President TouchWorks business unit

   325,000

Each executive is also entitled to a performance bonus subject to the sole discretion of, and based upon criteria selected by, the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors. Each executive’s target performance bonus, if any, is equal to 50% of his base salary with the exception of Ms. McGraw who had a target bonus of 40% of her annual salary through 2007, but may, based on performance, exceed such amount. Under the employment agreements, as amended, with each Named Executive Officer, non-renewal of an executive’s employment agreement by Allscripts will be deemed to be a termination without

Table of Contents

Cause. If we terminate Messrs. Tullman, Davis or Shapiro without Cause (including a non-renewal of an executive’s employment agreement by Allscripts) or if any of them terminates his employment for Constructive Discharge (as each of those terms is defined in the employment agreements) he will be entitled to severance in an amount equal to two years’ base salary. Should Mr. Bulkley be terminated without Cause (including a non-renewal of his employment agreement by Allscripts) or if Mr. Bulkley terminates his employment for Constructive Discharge (as each of those terms is defined in the employment agreements), he is entitled to one month of severance for each month of employment, up to a maximum of 12 months, paid monthly. If we terminate Ms. McGraw without Cause (including a non-renewal of her employment agreement by Allscripts) or if she terminates her employment for Constructive Discharge (as each of those terms is defined in the employment agreements), she will be entitled to severance in an amount equal to one year of base salary. Each NEO will also be entitled to any salary accrued but not yet paid as of the termination date, the unpaid performance bonus, if any, for the calendar year preceding the termination date and any performance bonus for the calendar year in which the termination date occurs (as determined and payable had there been no termination). Messrs. Tullman, Davis and Shapiro are entitled to the continuation of health benefits for a period of 24 months following the termination date and Mr. Bulkley and Ms. McGraw are entitled to the continuation of health benefits for a period of 12 months following the termination date and all NEOs are entitled to the acceleration of the vesting of all stock option or other stock awards granted with the exception of Mr. Bulkley whose employment agreement does not provide for accelerated vesting.

Under the employment agreements, as amended, following a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreements), each of the NEOs may terminate his or her employment for Constructive Discharge or in the case of Ms. McGraw, if she is not offered a comparable job within 50 miles of her then current location. Under those circumstances, each NEO is entitled to a severance payment equal to two times his then in effect base salary and his target performance bonus, with the exception of Ms. McGraw who is entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to one time her then in effect base salary and has no provision in her employment agreement for a bonus payment following a Change of Control. Additionally, a Change of Control triggers the acceleration of the vesting of all stock option or other stock awards granted to the NEOs. The term “Change of Control” includes changes in control of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. or its principal subsidiary, Allscripts, LLC. In the event that any payment by us to the NEOs would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, we have agreed to pay such executive an amount, net of taxes, equal to such excise tax amount.

The employment agreements also provide that each of Messrs. Tullman, Davis, Shapiro and Bulkley will not compete with Allscripts during the term of his employment and (other than in the case of a termination by Allscripts without Cause or a termination by such executive for Constructive Discharge) for two years thereafter. Ms. McGraw’s employment agreement provides that she will not compete with Allscripts during the term of her employment and (other than in the case of a termination by Allscripts without Cause or a termination by Ms. McGraw for Constructive Discharge) for one year thereafter.

For a quantification of benefits payable upon termination or a change of control, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-of-Control” in this Form 10K/A.

Restricted Stock

The Compensation Committee elected to grant Mr. Bulkley 21,922 and 21,598 restricted stock units on June 19, 2007 and October 9, 2007, respectively. The June 19, 2007 grant was communicated to Mr. Bulkley upon his April 24, 2007 hire date, but was subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the Allscripts stock incentive plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued thereunder. Therefore, the restricted stock was approved and granted immediately following our June 19, 2007 annual meeting of shareholders using the closing stock price on June 19, 2007 of $26.13 to value the award. The June 19, 2007 stock grant vests in four equal annual installments beginning on April 24, 2008. The October 9, 2007 restricted stock grant vests 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. In the event of a “Change of Control” of Allscripts, as defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreements relating to such grants, vesting of the stock awards will accelerate such that the unvested portion of the awards will vest immediately. Any dividends are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares.

(4) Mr. Bulkley has no outstanding options and did not vest in any restricted stock awards during 2007 due to his hire date of April 24, 2007 and also due to our standard restricted stock awards vesting schedule in four equal annual installments, beginning one year after the grant date.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

The information below describes the estimated value of the potential payments that would have become payable to each Named Executive Officer assuming a termination of employment or change of control and termination of employment had occurred on December 31, 2007 based upon the closing price of Allscripts’ common stock on December 31, 2007 of $19.42, given the Named Executive Officers’ compensation as of such date. For information regarding the employment agreements with each NEO, including a description of each NEO’s rights upon termination of his or her employment under different circumstances and of the noncompetition covenants contained in the employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements” in this Form 10K/A.

(1) Messrs. Tullman, Davis and Shapiro are entitled to two times their respective salary as of December 31, 2007, payable over a twenty-four month period. During his first year of employment, Mr. Bulkley is entitled to 1 month of severance for each month of employment, up to twelve months, payable over a twelve-month period. Mr. Bulkley’s payout would be for eight months of employment (May—December 2007), assuming a change of control Without Cause or Constructive Discharge by Mr. Bulkley had occurred on December 31, 2007. Ms. McGraw is entitled to her current year’s base salary, payable over a twelve-month period.
(2) Per the employment agreements, each of Messrs. Tullman, Davis and Shapiro would be entitled to his target performance bonus related to the year ended December 31, 2007. Mr. Bulkley would have been entitled to his $50,000 guaranteed bonus and Ms. McGraw would be entitled to the actual performance bonus that would have been payable to her in 2007 if her employment were terminated, in this case $0.
(3) Messrs. Tullman, Davis and Shapiro are entitled to the continuance of 24 months of health benefits following the termination date. Mr. Bulkley and Ms. McGraw are entitled to the continuation of benefits for 12 months from the date of termination.
(4) The termination without Cause or by Constructive Discharge allows for the acceleration of the vesting of all stock options granted. All stock options were vested as of December 31, 2005 and therefore no acceleration of options would apply to a termination at December 31, 2007.
(5) The termination without Cause or by Constructive Discharge allows for the acceleration of the vesting of all stock awards granted with the exception of Mr. Bulkley whose employment agreement does not provide for accelerated vesting. The value of the accelerated stock awards is computed by multiplying the number of unvested shares by $19.42, the closing price of Allscripts common stock on December 31, 2007.

(2) Per their employment agreements, Messrs. Tullman, Davis, Shapiro and Bulkley are entitled to twice their target performance bonus related to the year ended December 31, 2007. Ms. McGraw has no provision in her employment agreement for a bonus payment upon a Change of Control.

(3) Messrs. Tullman, Davis, and Shapiro are entitled to the continuance of 24 months of health benefits following the termination date. Mr. Bulkley and Ms. McGraw are entitled to the continuance of 12 months of health benefits following the termination date.
(4) The termination due to Change of Control allows for the acceleration of the vesting of all stock options granted. All stock options were vested as of December 31, 2005 and therefore no acceleration of options would apply to a termination at December 31, 2007.
(5) The termination due to Change of Control allows for the acceleration of the vesting of all stock awards granted. The market value of the accelerated stock awards is computed by multiplying the number of unvested shares by $19.42, the closing price of Allscripts common stock on December 31, 2007.

Payments Due to Termination With Cause by Allscripts, Upon Non-renewal by Executive or by Death or Disability

There were no accrued but unpaid salary amounts and no accrued but unpaid performance bonus at December 31, 2007 and therefore, there would have been no payments made to the executives assuming a termination With Cause on December 31, 2007.

Change of Control Without a Termination Event

Under award agreements held by the Named Executive Officers, all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards will immediately vest upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the award agreement). The first two tables above set forth the value at December 31, 2007 of the acceleration of unvested restricted stock held by the Named Executive Officers, which is determined by multiplying the unvested shares by $19.42, the closing price of Allscripts common stock on December 31, 2007.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Each non-employee director is paid $1,500 for each Board of Directors meeting attended in person, and each director is reimbursed for travel expenses incurred when attending meetings. Under our Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, directors who are not Allscripts employees are eligible to receive stock awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Mr. Tullman, who is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, does not receive any additional compensation for services as a director.

(2) The dollar value represents the amount Allscripts recognized for financial statement reporting purposes in 2007 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123(R)) for restricted stock awards granted on January 17, 2006, applying the same assumptions used in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes; except that for purposes of this table and in accordance with SEC disclosure rules, we have disregarded the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The restricted stock awards vest 25% on each of the first four anniversary dates from the grant date. Such awards become fully vested in the event of a “Change of Control” of Allscripts, as defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreements relating to such grants, and, as to each director, in the event such director is not re-elected to the Allscripts Board of Directors. Any dividends are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares. All shares of restricted stock issued to a director are included in such director’s beneficial ownership of Allscripts common stock, as of April 11, 2008, with the exception of John McConnell, who resigned from the board on March 17, 2008 and is excluded from the beneficial ownership table included in Item 12 below. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for additional information regarding the application of FAS 123(R).

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth the number of shares of Allscripts common stock beneficially owned as of April 11, 2008 by:

 

   

our “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”;

 

   

each director;

Table of Contents

Beneficial ownership is a technical term broadly defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. In general, beneficial ownership includes any shares that the holder can vote or transfer and stock options and warrants that are exercisable currently or become exercisable within 60 days. These shares are considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage of outstanding Allscripts common stock owned by a particular stockholder, but are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of ownership is based on 57,099,705 total shares of Allscripts common stock outstanding as of April 11, 2008. Except as otherwise noted, the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and dispositive power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

2001 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan

The Board originally adopted the 2001 Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) on January 31, 2001 and amended the Plan from time to time prior to June 30, 2003. The 2001 Plan was not approved by our stockholders. The 2001 Plan will terminate on January 31, 2011. Currently, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2001 Plan at any time, subject to Nasdaq stockholder approval requirements. Under the 2001 Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant stock options to key individuals performing services for us, including employees (other than officers or directors), consultants and independent contractors.

Since its inception, 4,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan. At December 31, 2007, there were 1,013,124 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options and 124,146 shares available for future issuance under the 2001 Plan. The number of shares underlying options made to any one participant in a calendar year may not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The number of shares that can be issued and the number of shares subject to outstanding options may be adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of shares of our outstanding common stock.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee administers the 2001 Plan. Subject to the specific provisions of the 2001 Plan, the Compensation Committee determines award eligibility, timing, amount and terms of the options. The Compensation Committee also interprets the 2001 Plan, establishes rules and regulations under the 2001 Plan and makes all other determinations necessary or advisable for the 2001 Plan’s administration. Options under the 2001 Plan must be nonqualified stock options. The Compensation Committee may specify any period of time following the date of grant during which options are exercisable, so long as the exercise period is not more than 10 years. Upon exercise, the option holder may pay the exercise price in such form as the Compensation Committee shall provide. Unless otherwise permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and approved in advance by the Compensation Committee, an option under the 2001 Plan may not be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred during its holder’s lifetime.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

We or one of our subsidiaries may occasionally enter into transactions with certain “related persons.” Related persons include our executive officers, directors, 5% or more beneficial owners of our common stock, immediate family members of these persons and entities in which one of these persons has a direct or indirect material interest. We refer to transactions with these related persons as “related party transactions.” In accordance with our written policy, the Audit Committee is responsible for the review and approval of each related party transaction exceeding $120,000. The Audit Committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction including, without limitation, whether the terms of the proposed transaction are at least as favorable to us as those that might be achieved with an unaffiliated third party. Among other relevant factors, the Audit Committee considers the following:

 

   

the size of the transaction and the amount of consideration payable to a related person;

 

   

the nature of the interest of the applicable executive officer, director or 5% stockholder in the transaction;

 

   

whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest;

 

   

whether the transaction involves the provision of goods or services to us that are available from unaffiliated third parties; and

 

   

whether the proposed transaction is on terms and made under circumstances that are at least as favorable to us as would be available in comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties.

All related party transactions below have been approved by the Audit Committee in conjunction with our policy described above with the exception of the ECIN acquisition which was approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors.

Glen Tullman, Allscripts’ Chief Executive Officer and a member and chairman of Allscripts’ Board of Directors, was the Chairman of ECIN’s board of directors and a stockholder of ECIN holding approximately 2.33% of ECIN’s common stock on a fully diluted basis at the time Allscripts’ acquisition of ECIN was consummated. Mr. Tullman received the same per share consideration as the other selling stockholders of ECIN (equaling approximately 2.33% of the total consideration being paid to equityholders of ECIN).

Glen Tullman, Allscripts’ Chief Executive Officer, served on the Advisory Board of Acquirent, LLC, a telemarketer and a reseller of our e-prescribing solution through December 31, 2007. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we paid $33,000 and $149,000, respectively, to this company and had $0 and $34,000 accrued as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of A4 Health Systems, Inc. (“A4”) prior to Allscripts’ acquisition of A4 became one of our directors in connection with the acquisition of A4, although he resigned from Allscripts’ board in March 2008. Such director also serves on the board of directors of Med3000,

Director Independence

Each of our directors other than Mr. Tullman qualifies as “independent” in accordance with Nasdaq. The Nasdaq definition of independence includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company. As required by the Nasdaq rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by each director and by Allscripts with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to Allscripts and Allscripts’ management. With respect to Mr. Compton, the Board considered that he serves as Chairman of the Board of an e-mail marketing solutions company to which Allscripts has paid less than $105,000 during each of the last two years. In addition, with respect to Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Compton and Mr. Green, the Board considered that each of these directors held an investment of less than 0.1% in ECIN, which was acquired by Allscripts on December 31, 2007. The Board of Directors concluded that each of Mr. Compton, Mr. Gamache, Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Green, Mr. Husain and Mr. Kluger are independent within the meaning of independence under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Allscripts’ Corporate Governance Guidelines require the independent members of the Board of Directors to meet at least twice per year in executive sessions without management.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit a list of services and related fees expected to be rendered during that year within each of the following four categories of service to the Audit Committee for approval.

1. Audit services include audit work performed on the financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and discussions surrounding the proper application of financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2. Audit-related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3. Tax services include all services, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel, including tax analysis, assisting with coordination of execution of tax related activities primarily in the area of corporate development, supporting other tax related regulatory requirements, and tax compliance and reporting.

4. Other fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. As a general matter, Allscripts no longer requests such services from the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves independent auditor services within each category. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budgeted fees periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.
