(1) | Based upon the total number of options that we granted to our employees during 2004. |
(2) | The estimated grant date present value reflected in the above table was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following data and assumptions: (a) the applicable option exercise prices; (b) the exercise of options within three years of the date that they become exercisable; (c) a risk-free interest rate of (i)1.9% per annum with respect to options granted on March 17, 2004 and (ii) 3.2% per annum with respect to options granted on October 1, 2004; (d) volatility of (i) 0.6 for WebMD common stock with respect to options granted on March 17, 2004 and (ii) 0.5 for WebMD common stock with respect to options granted on October 1, 2004; and (e) that no dividends are paid on WebMD common stock. The ultimate values of the options will depend on the future market price of our common stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. The actual value, if any, an optionee will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess of the market value of our common stock over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. We cannot predict whether the value realized by an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model or any other model applied to value the options. |
(3) | These options vest and become exercisable with respect to 1/3 of the shares on each of September 17, 2005, September 17, 2006 and September 17, 2007. |
(4) | These options vest and become exercisable as follows: 17% on the first anniversary of the date of grant; 18.5% on the second anniversary; 20% on the third anniversary; 21.5% on the fourth anniversary; and 23% on the fifth anniversary. |

(1) | The value realized is calculated based on the amount by which the aggregate market price, on the date of exercise, of the shares received exceeded the aggregate exercise price paid, regardless of whether such shares were sold or retained by the optionholder on that date. |
(2) | The value of unexercised in-the-money options is calculated based on the closing market price per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2004, which was $8.16, net of the applicable option exercise price per share. |
(3) | Mr. Wygod has retained, through the date of this Annual Report, ownership of the shares acquired on exercise. |
Arrangements with Kevin M. Cameron |
| The agreement provides for an employment period through October 1, 2009. | |
| The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $660,000 and an annual bonus of up to 100% of base salary. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Mr. Cameron received a bonus of $402,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our companys performance. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the amount of Mr. Camerons bonus will again be in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For subsequent years, the amount of the bonus will be based upon performance goals to be approved by the Compensation Committee with respect to each such year. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Camerons employment by us without cause or by Mr. Cameron for good reason, as those terms are defined in Mr. Camerons employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (a) continue to receive his base salary (i) at the rate in effect at the time of termination for a period of time equal to the length of his employment after October 1, 2004, rounded down to the nearest six months, but not longer than three years or (ii) if the total amount payable would be greater, for two years at a rate equal to his prior base salary of $450,000; and (b) continue to participate in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the duration of the severance period. In addition, all options and restricted stock granted to Mr. Cameron at or prior to the date of the employment agreement would remain outstanding and |
12
continue to vest, and would otherwise be treated as if Mr. Cameron remained employed by WebMD through the same period as his salary is continued (but not less than two years). | ||
| Mr. Cameron may terminate his employment upon 30 days notice after 11 months following a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) and, if this occurs: (a) Mr. Cameron would be entitled to continue to receive his base salary at his then current rate through October 1, 2009 (or, if longer, for three years following the termination); (b) Mr. Cameron would be entitled to annual bonus payments for the period of salary continuance in an amount equal to (i) if the calculation is based on his bonus for 2005, 50% of his base salary or (ii) if the calculation is based on his bonus for any year after 2005, the amount of his bonus for the year prior to the termination; (c) his participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) would continue for the duration of the salary continuation period; and (d) all options and restricted stock granted to Mr. Cameron at or prior to the date of the employment agreement which have not vested prior to the date of termination would be vested as of the date of termination and all such options would remain exercisable as if he remained in our employ through the expiration date specified in the respective stock option plans and agreements. | |
| If Mr. Camerons employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he (a) would not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits and (b) would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to his stock options following the date of termination. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Camerons employment as a result of his death or permanent disability, he (or his estate) would be entitled to three years of salary continuation, three years of benefit continuation and three years of vesting of the equity granted on or prior to October 1, 2004 and three years of continued exercisability of options to purchase WebMD common stock. | |
| The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the second anniversary of the date of cessation of Mr. Camerons employment. | |
| The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Cameron incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
| The employment agreement provides for an employment period through October 13, 2008. | |
| The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $450,000 and an annual bonus, with a target of up to 50% of his base salary. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Mr. Corbin received a bonus of $270,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based upon both his own and our companys performance. As an inducement to enter into the employ of WebMD, Mr. Corbins employment agreement provided for a one-time bonus |
13
payment of $145,000 to be made on the first anniversary of commencement of his employment, which payment was made in October 2004. | ||
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Corbins employment by us without cause or by Mr. Corbin for good reason, as those terms are defined in Mr. Corbins employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (a) continue to receive his base salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination for one year; (b) payment (at the time bonuses are paid to executive officers generally) of the bonus for the year of termination calculated based upon the bonus program in effect, provided that if no such bonus program is in effect, such bonus would be 50% of base salary; and (c) continue to participate in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the duration of the severance period. In addition, the option to purchase 600,000 shares granted to Mr. Corbin at the inception of his employment would remain outstanding and continue to vest, and would otherwise be treated as if Mr. Corbin remained employed by WebMD through the next vesting date. | |
| Mr. Corbin may terminate his employment upon 30 days notice at any time after the first anniversary of a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) and, if this occurs: (a) Mr. Corbin would be entitled to continue to receive his base salary for three years at his then current rate; (b) Mr. Corbin would be entitled to his bonus for the year of termination calculated in the same manner as if his employment was terminated without cause; (c) his participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) would continue for three years; and (d) the options to purchase 600,000 share of WebMD common stock granted in connection with his initial employment would remain outstanding and continue to vest as if he remained in our employ through the last vesting date applicable to the option. | |
| If Mr. Corbins employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he (a) would not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits and (b) would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to his stock options following the date of termination. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Corbins employment as a result of his death or permanent disability, he (or his estate) would be entitled to the same benefits as if his employment was terminated by WebMD without cause. | |
| The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the 18-month anniversary of the date of cessation of Mr. Corbins employment. | |
| The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Corbin incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
| Mr. Gattinella receives an annual base salary of $560,000 and is eligible to earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. Achievement of 50% of that bonus will be based upon the attainment of annual financial goals, and achievement of the remaining 50% will be based upon other annual performance goals. | |
| In the event an initial public offering of WebMD Health equity is consummated, WebMD Health would recommend to its Compensation Committee that, upon consummation, Mr. Gattinella be granted 100,000 shares of restricted WebMD Health common stock and options to purchase 400,000 shares of WebMD Health common stock, such numbers to be adjusted, up or down, to the extent the capitalization of WebMD Health is more or less than 100,000,000 shares. The per share exercise price of the options would be the fair market value of the common stock on the IPO date, |
14
as determined by the Compensation Committee. The WebMD Health restricted stock and options would vest in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date. | ||
| In the event of a change of control of WebMD Health (as defined in the employment agreement), the unvested portion of the WebMD Health options would continue to vest until the later of (i) two years from the date of grant and (ii) the next scheduled vesting date following the change of control. The continued vesting would apply only if Mr. Gattinella remains employed until six months following such change of control or is terminated by WebMD Healths successor without cause or he resigns for good reason during such six-month period. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Gattinellas employment, prior to April 30, 2009, by WebMD, Inc. without cause or by Mr. Gattinella for good reason (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement) he would be entitled to continue to receive his base salary for one year from the date of termination and to receive healthcare coverage until the earlier of one year following his termination and the date upon which he receives comparable coverage under another plan. In addition, the unvested portion of the option to purchase 600,000 shares of WebMD Corporation common stock granted to Mr. Gattinella at the inception of his employment would remain outstanding and continue to vest as if he remained in the employ of WebMD, Inc. until the first anniversary of the date of termination. In the event that a termination of Mr. Gattinellas employment by WebMD, Inc. without cause or by Mr. Gattinella for good reason occurs before the fourth anniversary of the grant of the WebMD Health option described above, 25% of the WebMD Health options would continue to vest through the next vesting date following the date of termination. |
| The employment agreement provides for an employment period through December 4, 2008. | |
| Under the agreement, Mr. Holcombes annual base salary is $550,000. He is eligible to receive an annual bonus, with a target amount of 50% of his base salary, the actual amount to be in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For 2004, Mr. Holcombe received a bonus of $300,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our companys performance. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Holcombes employment by us without cause or by Mr. Holcombe for good reason, as those terms are defined in Mr. Holcombes employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (a) continue to receive his base salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination for one year; and (b) continue to participate in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for one year. In addition, the option granted to Mr. Holcombe in 2003, at the inception of his employment, would remain outstanding and continue to vest, and would otherwise be treated as if Mr. Holcombe remained employed by WebMD through the next vesting date. | |
| If Mr. Holcombes employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he (a) would not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits and (b) would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to the stock options following the date of termination. |
15
| The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the second anniversary of the date of cessation of Mr. Holcombes employment. |
| Mr. Holstein will continue to receive his annual base salary of $660,000 until October 27, 2007, provided that the base salary for the first six months will be paid to Mr. Holstein in a lump sum at the end of such six-month period in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, except to the extent any future guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 409A does not subject such payments to Section 409A. | |
| Mr. Holstein will generally continue to participate in our welfare benefit plans until the earlier of October 27, 2007 and the date upon which he receives comparable coverage under another plan. | |
| The options to purchase WebMD Corporation common stock granted to Mr. Holstein will remain outstanding and continue to vest, and will otherwise be treated as if Mr. Holstein remained employed by WebMD, through April 27, 2007. |
| The agreement provides for an employment period through July 1, 2006. | |
| Mr. Mele currently receives an annual base salary of $450,000 and is entitled to receive a bonus in the same form and amount received by any other executive officer with similar responsibilities and compensation. For 2004, Mr. Mele received a bonus of $300,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our companys performance. | |
| In the event of the termination of Mr. Meles employment due to his death or disability, by us without cause or by Mr. Mele for good reason, as those terms are defined in Mr. Meles employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (i) continuation of his base salary, at the rate then in effect, through the later of 18 months and the expiration of the term of the agreement; (ii) any bonuses that he would have normally been entitled to through the term of his employment agreement (the amount of the bonus for years subsequent to the year in which the termination of employment occurred will be equal to the bonus received for the year of termination); and (iii) continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for thirty-six months. In addition, all options granted to Mr. Mele which have not vested prior to the date of termination would be vested as of the date of termination and all such options would remain exercisable as if he remained in our employ through the expiration date specified in each applicable stock option agreement, unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Mr. Mele and WebMD in writing. A change |
16
in control (which is defined in the employment agreement) of WebMD is an event that constitutes good reason. | ||
| If Mr. Meles employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he (a) would not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits and (b) would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to the stock options following the date of termination. | |
| The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the later of the second anniversary of the date employment has ceased and the last day of the term of the agreement. | |
| The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Mele incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
Arrangements with Martin J. Wygod |
| The agreement provides for an employment period through October 8, 2006. | |
| In accordance with the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Wygod has elected to serve solely as Chairman of the Board and to perform duties commensurate with that position; his resignation as Chief Executive Officer did not result in the termination of his employment agreement or in any change in his compensation or the other terms of his employment, except that his annual base salary was reduced from $1,400,000 to $1,260,000. For 2004, Mr. Wygod received a bonus of $402,000, determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our companys performance. | |
| In the event of termination of Mr. Wygods employment by us without cause or by Mr. Wygod for good reason, as those terms are defined in his employment agreement, Mr. Wygod would become a consultant for us and would be entitled to receive his salary, at the rate then in effect, and continuation of benefits for two years or, if longer, the expiration of the term of the employment period. In addition, all options, or other forms of equity compensation, granted to Mr. Wygod that have not vested prior to the date of termination would be vested as of the date of termination and, assuming there has not been a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement, which definition includes certain business combination transactions), would continue to be exercisable as long as he remains a consultant (or longer if the plan or agreement expressly provided). In the event that Mr. Wygods employment is terminated due to death or disability, he or his estate would receive the same benefits as described above. | |
| The employment agreement provides that in the event of a change in control of WebMD all outstanding options and other forms of equity compensation would become immediately vested on the date of the change in control and, if following the change in control, Mr. Wygods employment terminates for any reason other than cause, they would continue to be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant. A change in control is also an event that constitutes good reason for purposes of a termination by Mr. Wygod. | |
| The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that continue until the second anniversary of the date his employment has ceased. | |
| The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Wygod incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |

(1) | The amounts set forth below include 236 shares allocated to each of Messrs. Gattinella, Holstein, Mele and Wygod and 155 shares allocated to Mr. Cameron pursuant to the WebMD Corporation Performance Incentive Plan, a retirement plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (which we refer to in this table as PIP Shares). The amount set forth below |
19
for All executive officers and directors as a group includes an aggregate of 2,043 PIP Shares. Performance Incentive Plan participants do not have dispositive power with respect to PIP Shares (including vested PIP Shares) until the shares are distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Participants will forfeit all rights with respect to unvested PIP Shares if they leave WebMD for any reason other than death or disability. Generally, one-third of the number of PIP Shares allocated to each participant vests on each December 31 following the allocation. Messrs. Cameron, Corbin, Gattinella, Holcombe, Holstein and Mele are beneficial owners of shares of common stock of WebMD subject to vesting requirements based on continued employment by WebMD (which we refer to as Restricted Stock) in the respective amounts stated in the footnotes below. Holders of Restricted Stock have voting power, but not dispositive power, with respect to unvested shares of Restricted Stock. For information regarding the vesting schedules of the Restricted Stock, see Executive Compensation Summary Compensation Table above. | ||
(2) | Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules and regulations of the SEC, which provide that shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person for the purpose of computing the total number of shares beneficially owned by that person and the percentage ownership of that person. However, those shares are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Accordingly, we have set forth, in the column entitled Other, with respect to each person listed, the number of shares of WebMD common stock that such person has the right to acquire pursuant to options that are currently exercisable or that will be exercisable within 60 days of April 20, 2005. We have calculated the percentages set forth in the column entitled Percent of Outstanding based on the number of shares outstanding as of April 20, 2005 (which was 317,554,614) plus, for each listed person or group, the number of additional shares deemed outstanding, as set forth in the column entitled Other. | |

Sole power to vote the other shares of WebMD common stock beneficially owned by the filing group resides in the respective boards of trustees of the funds that have invested in the shares.
