Item 5. Other Events
HealthStream, Inc. announced that the Company has entered into a binding Letter
of Understanding with WebMD that terminates the prior agreements and sets forth
a new business arrangement. Under the new, non-exclusive three-year arrangement,
HealthStream will be a "preferred provider" of continuing medical education,
continuing education and board preparation courses for WedMD's professional
portal.
Under the new arrangement, financial consideration will be based entirely on
revenues generated from the sale of HealthStream's services to WebMD's
professional portal customers.
The lock-up agreement related to WebMD's 1.1 million shares of HealthStream
common stock that were purchased in a private offering concurrent with the
HealthStream initial public offering has been terminated and HealthStream has
given WebMD the right to sell all but not less than all of these shares to
HealthStream at any time through March 30, 2001. The purchase price will be
determined based on the average closing price for the 15 trading days prior to
the date of exercise, provided the purchase price may not be less than $1.00 nor
more than $2.00 per share.
The new agreement has a three-year term beginning January 5, 2001 whereas the
previous agreement, which was entered into on February 29, 2000, had a five-year
term.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, HealthStream will recognize a gain on
termination of the prior WebMD agreement. This gain represents the reversal of
the scheduled $1.5 million fixed payment, which was accrued during the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, and will be reduced by the fair value of the right
granted to WebMD to cause HealthStream to purchase the 1.1 million shares of
HealthStream common stock held by WebMD. If HealthStream repurchases the shares
at a price of $1.00 per share and the 15 trading day average is less than $1.00
per share, HealthStream will further reduce the gain by such difference. In any
event, HealthStream will not recognize a loss on this termination. A repurchase
of the shares will result in a share for share reduction in HealthStream's
shares outstanding.
