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

As previously announced, on November 17, 2010, Kapiti Limited and ACT Sigmex Limited, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Misys plc (“Misys”), sold 12,500,000 shares of common stock of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), resulting in Misys holding approximately 3.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010, between the Company and Misys and the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Allscripts Charter”), upon Misys ceasing to hold 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, Misys ceased to have a right to nominate directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Allscripts Board”), and Misys-nominated directors serving on the Allscripts Board were required to resign. As a result, concurrently with the closing of the share sale by the two subsidiaries of Misys, on November 17, 2010, John King and Stephen Wilson resigned as members of the Allscripts Board. Mr. King served on the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Allscripts Board and Mr. King and Mr. Wilson comprised the Misys Nominating Committee of the Allscripts Board. Pursuant to the Allscripts Charter, the Misys Nominating Committee has been dissolved.
