Options granted to Mr. Doerr in 2002 were cancelled when he did not seek reelection to our Board of Directors on October 24, 2002.

Compensation Arrangements with Executive Officers

 
Arrangements with Martin J. Wygod

      In October 2001, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with Martin J. Wygod. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Wygod will be Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of WebMD. Mr. Wygod may elect to serve solely as Chairman of the Board and to perform duties commensurate with that position, in which case his resignation as Chief Executive Officer shall not terminate his employment agreement or result in any change in his compensation or the other terms of his employment. Mr. Wygod currently receives an annual base salary of $1,400,000.

      In the event of termination of Mr. Wygod’s 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 a consulting fee equal to his salary 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 which have not vested prior to the

Table of Contents

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), 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. Wygod’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, he would receive the same benefits as described above.

      The employment agreement provides that, in the event of a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreement, which definition includes certain business combination transactions) 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. Wygod’s employment terminates for any reason other than cause, they will 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.

 
Arrangements with Roger C. Holstein

      We are party to an employment agreement, dated October 23, 2002, with Roger C. Holstein, our President, which provides for an employment period through December 31, 2007. Mr. Holstein currently receives an annual base salary of $600,000. Mr. Holstein is entitled to a bonus of $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, and beginning in 2003, and continuing each year for the duration of his employment, Mr. Holstein is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary in the event that the Company attains certain specified performance goals.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Holstein’s employment by us “without cause” or by Mr. Holstein for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Holstein’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (a) the greater of (i) a two year continuation of his base salary in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the employment agreement ($450,000 per year) or (ii) a continuation of his base salary in effect at the time of termination for six months for each six month period from the effectiveness of the employment agreement (in no event will such salary continuation continue for longer than three years); and (b) continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the duration of the severance period. In addition, all options granted to Mr. Holstein shall remain outstanding and continue to vest, and shall otherwise be treated as if Mr. Holstein remained employed by the Company, through the second anniversary of the termination date.

      Mr. Holstein may terminate his employment upon 30 days notice at any time after 11 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement) and, if this occurs: (a) Mr. Holstein would be entitled receive the greater of (i) the salary continuance he would be entitled to if his employment were terminated “without cause” or for “good reason” or (ii) a continuation of his base salary through October 23, 2007; (b) his participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) would continue for the duration of the severance period; and (c) all options granted to Mr. Holstein 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.

      Mr. Holstein may also terminate his employment upon 30 days notice at any time after the 11 month anniversary of the date on which Mr. Wygod is neither Chairman of the Board nor Chief Executive Officer of WebMD. If Mr. Holstein terminates his employment in those circumstances: (a) he would be entitled to salary continuation from the date of termination through the second anniversary thereof; (b) his

8


Table of Contents

participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) would continue for the duration of the severance period; and (c) all options granted to Mr. Holstein 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 outstanding as if Mr. Holstein remained in the employ of the Company until the earlier of (i) five years from the date of termination and (ii) the date on which the stock option would have expired under the terms of the applicable stock option plan or agreement. Mr. Holstein (or his estate) would have the same rights in the event of Mr. Holstein’s “permanent disability” (as defined in the employment agreement) or his death.

      If Mr. Holstein’s employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he is not entitled to any further compensation or benefits. In addition, Mr. Holstein 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 second anniversary of the date of cessation of Mr. Holstein’s employment.

      The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Holstein 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 Charles A. Mele

      We are party to an employment agreement with Charles A. Mele, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, which 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.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Mele’s 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. Mele’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (i) continuation of his base salary through the later of eighteen 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. A change in control (which is defined in the employment agreement) of WebMD is an event that constitutes good reason.

      If Mr. Mele’s employment is terminated by us for cause or by him without good reason, he is not entitled to any further compensation or benefits. In addition, Mr. Mele 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 Michael A. Singer

Table of Contents

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Singer’s employment by us “without cause” or by Mr. Singer for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Singer’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (i) continuation of his base salary in effect at the time of termination for a period of two years and (ii) continued participation in our benefit plans (or comparable plans) for the duration of the severance period or, if earlier, until he is eligible for comparable plans with a subsequent employer. In addition, the option granted to Mr. Singer on June 5, 2000 will be deemed fully vested and exercisable on the date of termination and would remain exercisable for the duration of the severance period. If a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) occurs, Mr. Singer may resign for good reason at any time after the six month anniversary of the change in control (or immediately if the incumbent directors did not approve the change in control).

      The merger with Medical Manager constituted a change in control and an event of good reason for purposes of Mr. Singer’s employment agreement after the six month anniversary of the merger date (March 12, 2001). On September 5, 2000, Mr. Singer agreed that if he resigned following March 12, 2001 as a result of the Medical Manager merger, his severance benefits would be based upon an annual base salary of $250,000 and his June 5, 2000 option would not vest. The option granted to Mr. Singer on July 23, 1999 was deemed fully vested on the six month anniversary of the merger.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Singer’s employment due to his death or disability, he would be entitled to a continuation of his base salary and benefits for the period through the expiration of the term of the agreement. In addition, the option granted to Mr. Singer on June 5, 2000 will be deemed fully vested and exercisable on the date of termination and would remain exercisable though such period.

      If Mr. Singer’s employment is terminated by us for cause, he is not entitled to any further compensation or benefits. In addition, Mr. Singer 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 (a) the first anniversary of the date of termination; (b) July 23, 2004; or (c) the last day on which Mr. Singer is receiving severance or benefits following his separation from the employ of our company.

 
Arrangements with Anthony Vuolo

      We are party to an employment agreement with Anthony Vuolo, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, which provides for an employment period through July 1, 2006. Mr. Vuolo 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.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Vuolo’s employment due to his death or disability, by us “without cause” or by Mr. Vuolo for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Vuolo’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to: (i) continuation of his base salary through the later of eighteen 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.

  (1)  The amounts set forth below for Messrs. Holstein, Mele, Singer, Vuolo and Wygod include 200 shares allocated to each of them 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 for “All executive officers and directors as a group” includes an aggregate of 2,000 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.
 
  (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. Accordingly, we have set forth, in the column entitled “Options,” the number of shares of WebMD common stock that each person listed has the right to acquire pursuant to options that are currently exercisable or that will be exercisable within 60 days of April 9, 2003. We have calculated the

  percentages set forth in the column entitled “Percent of Outstanding” based on the number of shares outstanding as of April 9, 2003 (which was 304,237,857) plus, for each listed person or group, the number of additional shares deemed outstanding, as set forth in the column entitled “Options.”
 
  (3)  The information shown is as of December 31, 2002 and is based upon information disclosed by FMR Corp., Fidelity Management and Research Company, Fidelity Growth Company Fund, Abigail P.

(4)  Includes 603,803 shares of WebMD common stock available for grant under our 2002 Restricted Stock Plan.
 
Description of Plans Not Approved by Stockholders

      2001 Stock Plan. The 2001 Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of awards of non-qualified options to purchase shares of our common stock to our employees who are not subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of December 31, 2002, options to purchase 114 shares of our common stock remained available for grant under the 2001 Stock Plan. The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to one or more options that may be granted during any one calendar year under the 2001 Stock Plan to any one person is 200,000. Generally, options become exercisable ratably over a three to five year period based on their individual grant dates and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Options are granted with exercise prices not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash or shares of WebMD common

stock held by the optionee for a period of at least six months or through a cashless exercise arrangement. Upon termination of employment, unvested options generally are forfeited and vested options generally expire 90 days after termination (one year in the case of termination as a result of death or disability or immediately in the event of termination for “cause”). The 2001 Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and all or a portion of such authority may be delegated to one or more officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee has the authority to designate participants, determine the number, terms and conditions of options, establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable to administer the 2001 Stock Plan and make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the 2001 Stock Plan. The Compensation Committee has delegated to Martin J. Wygod the authority to grant options and determine the terms and conditions of such grant in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

      2002 Restricted Stock Plan. During 2002, WebMD adopted the 2002 Restricted Stock Plan. The 2002 Restricted Stock Plan authorizes the grant of awards of shares of WebMD common stock that are subject to restrictions on transfer until such time as they are vested. As of December 31, 2002, 603,803 shares of restricted common stock remained available for grant under the 2002 Restricted Stock Plan. All of our employees, other than those officers who are subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, are eligible for grants under the plan. The vesting schedule applicable to a restricted stock grant is generally 25% per year subject to the holder’s continued employment on the applicable dates. Unvested restricted stock is subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment. The 2002 Restricted Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, with responsibilities and authority similar to those described above for the 2001 Stock Plan. The authority to grant restricted stock and determine the terms and conditions thereof in accordance with the terms of the plan has been delegated to Martin J. Wygod.

      Envoy Stock Plan. In January 2000, our Board of Directors adopted the WebMD Envoy Stock Plan in connection with the acquisition of Envoy Corporation. The Envoy Stock Plan authorizes the grant of awards of non-qualified options to purchase shares of our common stock and grants of shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2002, 711,472 shares of our common stock remained available for option grants or grants of shares under the Envoy Stock Plan. The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to one or more options that may be granted during any one fiscal year under the Envoy Stock Plan to any one person is 1,000,000, except that, in connection with an employee’s initial employment, he or she may be granted options to purchase an additional 500,000 shares which shall not count against the 1,000,000 limit. The terms of the Envoy Stock Plan and its administration are substantially similar to those described above for the 2001 Stock Plan.

      Option Agreement with Wayne Gattinella. The option agreement, entered into on August 20, 2001, provides for a nonqualified option to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $4.81 per share. The exercise price is equal to the closing price of WebMD common stock on the date of grant. No further shares of our common stock are available for grant under this option agreement. Subject to Mr. Gattinella’s continued employment (except as set forth below), the option vests and becomes exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and expires on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. In the event of the termination of Mr. Gattinella’s employment without cause or for good reason (as such terms are defined in his employment agreement), the option, to the extent unvested, will remain outstanding and continue to vest as if he remained in the employ of the Company through the first anniversary of the date of termination. In addition, on the one year anniversary of a change in control (or earlier if his employment is terminated without cause for good reason, 75% of the unvested portion of the option shall vest. Except as described above, the stock option agreement contains terms consistent with our other option plans.

      On April 6, 2001, we loaned $1,450,000 to K. Robert Draughon, our Executive Vice President, Business Development. The funds were advanced pursuant to a promissory note bearing interest at the fixed rate per annum of 4.63%. The loan is full recourse and is secured by a pledge by Mr. Draughon of all shares of WebMD common stock owned by him and all options to purchase shares of WebMD common stock owned by him. As of April 9, 2003, approximately $107,000 of the principal amount and approximately $1,000 of accrued interest were outstanding.

      We were reimbursed approximately $367,000 during 2002 by Martin J. Wygod, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, and a corporation that he controls, for the partial use of our office facilities, for services rendered by our employees and for expenses relating to use of chartered aircraft.

      We lease property in Alachua, Florida that is owned by a corporation controlled by Michael A. Singer, Chief Executive Officer, WebMD Medical Manager and a member of our Board of Directors, and a member of his family. We are responsible for all real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance relating to the property. The term of the lease is through March 31, 2009. During 2002, the aggregate amount of rent payable under the lease was approximately $967,000.

      Dr. Adler, a non-employee director of WebMD, is a partner in a 14 doctor group medical practice that is a customer of WebMD Medical Manager. The practice purchases products and services on terms generally available, in the ordinary course of our business, to similar customers. During 2002, the aggregate amount payable to WebMD Medical Manager by this practice was approximately $142,000.

      Affiliates of FMR Corp. provide services to us in connection with the administration of the WebMD 401(k) Savings Plan and the Porex 401(k) Savings Plan. During 2002, the aggregate amount payable by us for these services was approximately $97,000.

Item 14.     Controls and Procedures

      WebMD management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of WebMD’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, which was completed during the 90 days prior to the date on which this amendment on Form 10-K/A was filed with the Commission, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Annual Report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.
