      Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has nine members. Three of the members are also employees of WebMD: Mr. Holstein, Chief Executive Officer of WebMD; Mr. Singer, Chief Executive Officer of WebMD Practice Services; and Mr. Wygod, Chairman of the Board. Six of the members are

non-employee directors: Dr. Adler and Messrs. Brooke, Dimick, Manning, Sarkowsky and Smith. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the non-employee directors is also an independent director under applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. The non-employee directors meet regularly without any employee directors or other WebMD employees present.

      Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of which currently has three directors. At each Annual Meeting, the term of one of the classes of directors expires and WebMD stockholders vote to elect nominees for the directorships in that class for a new three-year term. The terms of Dr. Adler and Messrs. Sarkowsky and Singer will expire at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2004; the terms of Messrs. Dimick, Holstein and Smith will expire at our Annual Meeting in 2005; and the terms of Messrs. Brooke, Manning and Wygod will expire at our Annual Meeting in 2006. Our Board of Directors met 15 times during 2003.

      Our Board of Directors currently has four standing committees: an Executive Committee, a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee, and a Nominating Committee. The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee each have the authority to retain such outside advisors as they may determine to be appropriate.

      WebMD’s Board of Directors encourages its members to attend our Annual Meetings of Stockholders. All three WebMD directors who are also employees attended the 2003 Annual Meeting and four of our six non-employee directors attended the 2003 Annual Meeting. Our Board of Directors encourages our security holders to communicate in writing to our directors. Security holders may send written communications to our Board of Directors or to specified individual directors by sending such communications care of the Corporate Secretary’s Office, WebMD Corporation, 669 River Drive, Center 2, Elmwood Park, New Jersey 07407-1361. Such communications will be reviewed by our Legal Department and, depending on the content, will be:

  •  if they relate to financial or accounting matters, forwarded to the Audit Committee or discussed at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting; or
 
  •  if they relate to the recommendation of the nomination of an individual, forwarded to the Nominating Committee or discussed at the next scheduled Nominating Committee meeting; or

Each of the members of the Audit Committee meets the standards of independence applicable to audit committee members under applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. In addition, the Board of Directors of WebMD has determined that Mr. Manning qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is used in applicable SEC regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, based on his training and experience as a certified public accountant, including as a partner of a major accounting firm, and his services as a senior executive and Chief Financial Officer of public companies.

  •  approving our internal audit plan and reviewing reports of our internal auditors;
 
  •  determining whether to approve related party transactions; and
 
  •  overseeing the administration of WebMD’s Code of Business Conduct.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter, as amended, has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report. A copy of WebMD’s Code of Business Conduct, as amended, has been filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Annual Report. WebMD’s Code of Business Conduct applies to all directors and employees of WebMD. Any waiver of applicable requirements in the Code of Business Conduct that is granted to any of our directors, to our principal executive officer, to any of our senior financial officers (including our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller) or to any other person who is an executive officer of WebMD requires the approval of the Audit Committee and will be disclosed on our corporate website, www.webmd.com, in the “About WebMD” section.

The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

  •  administration of our executive compensation program and our equity compensation plans;
 
  •  determination of compensation levels for and grants of options to our executive officers; and

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter has been filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report.

      Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee, which met once during 2003, is currently comprised of Dr. Adler and Messrs. Sarkowsky and Manning and Mr. Sarkowsky is its Chairman.

  •  identifying individuals qualified to become Board members;
 
  •  recommending to the Board the director nominees for each Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and
 
  •  recommending to the Board candidates for filling vacancies that may occur between Annual Meetings.

The Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter, as amended, has been filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report. The Nominating Committee has not adopted specific objective requirements for service on the WebMD Board. Instead, the Nominating Committee will consider various factors in determining whether to recommend to the Board potential new Board members, or the continued service of existing members, including:

  •  the amount and type of the potential nominee’s managerial and policy-making experience in complex organizations and whether any such experience is particularly relevant to WebMD;

6


 

  •  any specialized skills or experience that the potential nominee has and whether such skills or experience are particularly relevant to WebMD;
 
  •  in the case of non-employee directors, whether the potential nominee has sufficient time to devote to service on the WebMD Board and the nature of any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest arising from the nominee’s existing relationships;
 
  •  in the case of non-employee directors, whether the nominee would be an independent director and would be considered a “financial expert” or “financially literate” under applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and applicable law;
 
  •  in the case of potential new members, whether the nominee assists in achieving a mix of Board members that represents a diversity of background and experience, including with respect to age, gender, race, areas of expertise and skills; and
 
  •  in the case of existing members, the nominee’s contributions as a member of the Board during his or her prior service.

      The Nominating Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as described above. Any such recommendation should be sent in writing to the Nominating Committee, care of Secretary, WebMD Corporation, 669 River Drive, Center 2, Elmwood Park, New Jersey 07407-1361. To facilitate consideration by the Nominating Committee, the recommendation should be accompanied by a full statement of the qualifications of the recommended nominee, the consent of the recommended nominee to serve as a director of WebMD if nominated and to be identified in WebMD’s proxy materials and the consent of the recommending stockholder to be named in WebMD’s proxy materials. The recommendation and related materials will be provided to the Nominating Committee for consideration at its next regular meeting.

Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by applicable regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

(2)  Based upon the total number of options that we granted to our employees during 2003.
 
(3)  The estimated grant date present value reflected in the above table is determined using the Black-Scholes model. The material assumptions and adjustments incorporated in the Black-Scholes model in estimating the value of the options reflected in the above table include the following: (a) the respective 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 1.28% per annum, (d) volatility of 0.9 and (e) 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 assure you that 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.

Compensation Arrangements with Executive Officers

 
Arrangements with Roger C. Holstein

      We are party to an employment agreement, dated October 23, 2002, with Roger C. Holstein which provides for an employment period through December 31, 2007. In May 2003, Mr. Holstein, who until that time had served as our President, began serving as our Chief Executive Officer. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, his annual base salary was increased from $600,000 to $1,000,000 and he received a grant of non-qualified options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.89 per share. The options vest ratably over five years. Mr. Holstein received a bonus of $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Mr. Holstein is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary in the event that WebMD 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) and (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 WebMD through the second anniversary of the termination date.

10


 

      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” and (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 ceases to serve as Chairman of the Board. If this occurs: (a) Mr. Holstein would be entitled to salary continuation from the date of termination through the second anniversary thereof; (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 outstanding as if Mr. Holstein remained in the employ of WebMD 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 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. 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.

      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 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 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

11


 

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 K. Robert Draughon

      In connection with our acquisition of WebMD, Inc., we became party to an employment agreement effective February 1, 1998 with K. Robert Draughon which, as modified by a letter agreement dated September 12, 2000, is described below. The employment agreement provides for Mr. Draughon’s appointment as our Executive Vice President, Business Development. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Draughon is to receive an annual base salary of $450,000 and is entitled to participate in any bonus program established by us for our senior executive officers.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Draughon’s employment due to his death or disability, by us without “cause” or by Mr. Draughon with or without “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Draughon’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to continuation of his base salary for twelve months and continuation of benefit plans for twelve months. In addition, all options granted to Mr. Draughon prior to December 31, 2000 which have not vested prior to the date of termination would be vested as of the date of termination and all such options would continue to be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant.

      In October 2000, as a means to ensure the retention of Mr. Draughon, WebMD and Mr. Draughon agreed that so long as he remained in our employ for a specified period, which has been completed, he could resign at any time and receive the benefits described above.

      The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations, some of which survive indefinitely and some of which end on the first anniversary of the date employment has ceased, and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the second anniversary of the date employment has ceased.

      The employment agreement contains a tax gross-up provision relating to any excise taxes that Mr. Draughon 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 Wayne T. Gattinella

      We are party to an employment agreement dated August 20, 2001 with Wayne Gattinella, our President, WebMD Health. Mr. Gattinella currently receives an annual base salary of $450,000 and is entitled to participate in any bonus plan instituted for similarly situated employees of the company. The amount of Mr. Gattinella’s bonus is to be determined in the sole discretion of WebMD.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Gattinella’s employment by us “without cause” or by Mr. Gattinella for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Gattinella’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to receive a continuation of his base salary for one year from the date of termination. In addition, the unvested portion of the option to purchase 600,000 shares of WebMD common stock granted to Mr. Gattinella at the inception of his employment will remain outstanding and continue to vest as if he remained in our employ until the first anniversary of the date of termination. In addition, in the event of a “change in control,” as defined in Mr. Gattinella’s employment agreement, 75% of the unvested

12


 

portion of the option described above will vest on the first anniversary of the change in control so long as he remains in our employ on such date (or such earlier date if terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Gattinella for good reason).

      If Mr. Gattinella’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. Gattinella would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to the stock options following the date of termination.

      In connection with Mr. Gattinella’s employment with us, he signed a Key Employee Agreement which contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the first anniversary of the date employment has ceased.

 
Arrangements with Kirk G. Layman

      We entered into a five year employment agreement with Kirk G. Layman, our Executive Vice President, Administration, on September 11, 2000. Mr. Layman currently receives an annual base salary of $450,000 and is entitled to participate in any bonus program established by us for our senior executive officers.

      In the event of the termination of Mr. Layman’s employment due to his death or disability, by us “without cause” or by Mr. Layman for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in Mr. Layman’s employment agreement, he would be entitled to receive a continuation of his base salary for one year from the date of termination. In addition, any options granted to Mr. Layman on or prior to June 5, 2000 that have not vested as of the date of termination will vest in full on the date of termination and, together with any already vested options, remain exercisable for one year from the date of termination (or three years for those options granted prior to June 5, 2000 if, at the time of termination, Martin J. Wygod is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, or a senior executive officer of our company). In addition, the option to purchase 100,000 shares granted on August 21, 2000 will also vest in full if Mr. Layman’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Layman for good reason and will remain exercisable for its full ten year term.

      If Mr. Layman’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. Layman would not be entitled to any additional rights or vesting with respect to the stock options following the date of termination.

      Mr. Layman’s employment agreement is also subject to confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the second anniversary of the date employment has ceased.

 
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, unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Mr. Mele and WebMD in writing. A change in control (which is defined in the employment agreement) of WebMD is an event that constitutes good reason.

13


 

      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

      We are party to an employment agreement with Michael A. Singer, Chief Executive Officer, WebMD Practice Services, which provides for an employment period through July 23, 2004. Mr. Singer currently receives an annual base salary of $450,000.

      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 WebMD.

 
Arrangements with Anthony Vuolo

      We are party to an employment agreement with Anthony Vuolo which provides for an employment period through July 1, 2006. Mr. Vuolo served as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer until May 15, 2003, at which time he became our Executive Vice President, Business Development. 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.

14


 

      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. In addition, all options granted to Mr. Vuolo 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. Vuolo and WebMD in writing. A change in control (as defined in the employment agreement) of WebMD is an event that constitutes good reason.

      If Mr. Vuolo’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. Vuolo 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. Vuolo 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 Thomas P. Apker

      We entered into a transition agreement with Thomas P. Apker, who until December 2003 served as Chief Executive Officer of WebMD Envoy, which provides for him to assist the new President of WebMD Envoy and assist the Chief Executive Officer of WebMD on special projects through June 2004, at which time his employment will terminate. We have agreed to continue to pay to him his salary, as severance, for a period of six months after his departure date. During such period (or, if earlier, until he is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent employer), we will also pay a portion of his COBRA payment equal to the amount we pay for active employees with similar coverage. Mr. Apker remains subject to confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that end on the first anniversary of his departure date.

Compensation of Non-Employee Directors

      Our non-employee directors each receive an annual retainer of $25,000. Members of the Audit Committee receive an additional annual retainer of $15,000. Directors do not receive per meeting fees, but they are entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and Board committee meetings. In addition, Messrs. Brooke, Manning, Sarkowsky and Smith and Dr. Adler each received $30,000 for their service during the fourth quarter of 2003 and will each receive $15,000 for their service during the first quarter of 2004, as members of a Special Committee of the Board to oversee matters relating to the investigations described in “Legal Proceedings — Investigations by United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina and the SEC.” Members of the Special Committee will continue to receive compensation for their service on that committee.

  (1)  The amounts set forth below for Messrs. Apker, Draughon, Gattinella, Holstein, Layman, 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. Messrs. Draughon, Gattinella, Holstein, Layman, Mele, Singer and Vuolo 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

16


 

  footnotes below. One-third of the shares of Restricted Stock vest on March 17 of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007. Holders of Restricted Stock have voting power, but not dispositive power, with respect to unvested shares of Restricted Stock.
 
  (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,” (a) with respect to FMR Corp., the number of shares of WebMD common stock that it has the right to acquire upon conversion of $2,100,000 principal amount of WebMD’s 3.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 and (b) with respect to each other 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 15, 2004. We have calculated the percentages set forth in the column entitled “Percent of Outstanding” based on the number of shares outstanding as of April 15, 2004 (which was 311,167,979) plus, for each listed person or group, the number of additional shares deemed outstanding, as set forth in the column entitled “Other.”
 
  (3)  The information shown is as of December 31, 2003 and is based upon information disclosed by FMR Corp., Fidelity Management and Research Company, Fidelity Growth Company Fund, Abigail P. Johnson and Edward C. Johnson, 3d in a Schedule 13G filed with the Commission. Such persons reported that FMR Corp. and the other members of the filing group have sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 45,964,794 shares of WebMD common stock and sole power to vote or to direct the vote of 544,100 shares of WebMD Common Stock. 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. The interest of Fidelity Growth Company Fund, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, amounted to 25,929,200 shares of WebMD common stock as of December 31, 2003.

None of these warrants are held by WebMD employees. We cannot grant additional awards under the relevant agreements pursuant to which those warrants were issued. The warrants were issued in a variety of transactions, including transactions with strategic partners, suppliers and service providers.

Description of Plans Not Approved by Stockholders

      2001 Stock Plan. The 2001 Employee Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the granting of awards of non-qualified stock 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, 2003, options to purchase 2,490 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 WebMD. 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 Roger C. Holstein 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. The 2002 Restricted Stock Plan authorizes the granting 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, 2003, 688,669 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 Roger C. Holstein.

      Envoy Stock Plan. In January 2000, our Board of Directors adopted the Envoy Stock Plan in connection with the acquisition of Envoy Corporation. The Envoy Stock Plan authorizes the granting of awards of non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of our common stock and grants of shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2003, 10,020 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 stock 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

19


 

vest as if he remained in our employ 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.

      ABF Stock Plan. The 2003 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for Employees of Advanced Business Fulfillment, Inc., which we refer to as the ABF Stock Plan, was adopted on June 12, 2003 in connection with our acquisition of Advanced Business Fulfillment, or ABF. Grants under the plan are limited to ABF employees who are not executive officers of WebMD. At the time of the closing of the acquisition of ABF, options to purchase 3,570,000 shares of WebMD common stock were granted under the ABF Stock Plan to ABF employees. The options have an exercise price of $11.73 (the fair market value of WebMD common stock on the closing date of the acquisition) and vest 25% per year subject to the holder’s continued employment on the applicable dates. As of December 31, 2003, options to purchase 81,500 shares of WebMD common stock remained available for grant under the ABF Stock Plan. The other terms of the ABF Stock Plan and its administration are substantially similar to those described above for the 2001 Stock Plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

      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 15, 2004, approximately $107,000 of the principal amount and approximately $6,000 of accrued interest were outstanding. The largest amount outstanding during 2003 was $277,892.

      We were reimbursed approximately $230,000 during 2003 by Martin J. Wygod, our Chairman of the Board, and a corporation that he controls, for the partial use of our office facilities and for services rendered by our employees.

      We lease property in Alachua, Florida that is owned by a corporation controlled by Michael A. Singer, Chief Executive Officer, WebMD Practice Services 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 2003, the aggregate amount of rent payable under the lease was approximately $1,087,000.

      Dr. Adler, a non-employee director of WebMD, is a partner in a group medical practice that is a customer of WebMD Practice Services. The practice purchases products and services on terms generally available, in the ordinary course of our business, to similar customers. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable to WebMD Practice Services by this practice was approximately $73,000.

      At the time of the initial employment of Tony G. Holcombe as President, WebMD Envoy on December 15, 2003, we entered into an agreement that allows him to require WebMD to purchase from him certain shares of stock of his prior employer. The agreement will expire no later than January 15, 2005. The maximum aggregate purchase price that WebMD may be required to pay to Mr. Holcombe under this agreement is approximately $286,000.

      Affiliates of FMR Corp. provide services to us in connection with the WebMD 401(k) Savings Plan and the Porex 401(k) Savings Plan. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable by us for these services was approximately $64,500.

21


 

 
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

      In addition to retaining Ernst & Young LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2003 and 2002, to review our quarterly financial statements during those years and to re-audit prior year financial statements of Porex Holdings, Inc. that had previously been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, we retained Ernst & Young to provide certain related services. The fees for Ernst & Young’s services to WebMD were:

                 
Type of Fees 2003 2002



Audit Fees
  $ 2,124,278     $ 2,728,364  
Audit-Related Fees
    380,860       142,700  
Tax Fees
    99,000       -0-  
All Other Fees
    -0-       -0-  
Total Fees
    2,604,138       2,871,064  

      In the above table, in accordance with applicable SEC rules:

  •  “audit fees” are fees billed for professional services for the audit of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for that fiscal year and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Qs filed for that fiscal year, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements;
 
  •  “audit-related fees” are fees billed in the year for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, and consisted of:

  —  in 2003, fees related to the audit of our employee benefit plans and fees for acquisition due diligence assistance; and
 
  —  in 2002, fees related to the audit of our employee benefit plans;

  •  “tax fees” are fees billed in the year, if any, for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning and, in 2003, consisted of fees for tax consulting related to acquisitions; and
 
  •  “all other fees” are fees billed in the year, if any, for any products and services not included in the first three categories.

None of these services was provided pursuant to a waiver of the requirement that such services be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision by Ernst & Young of non-audit services to us in 2003 is compatible with Ernst & Young maintaining their independence.

      Our Audit Committee has, as of the date of this Annual Report, decided to consider whether to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees on a case-by-case basis, rather than pursuant to a general policy, with the exception of acquisition-related due diligence engagements, which have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee and are subject to monitoring by the Chairman of the Audit Committee. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees and to amend or modify pre-approvals that have been granted by the entire Audit Committee. A report of any such actions taken by the Chairman is provided to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.
