Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, on June 9, 2010, Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Allscripts”), entered into (i) a Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Misys plc, a public limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Misys”), and Eclipsys Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Eclipsys”), solely as a third party beneficiary of certain provisions of the Framework Agreement, and (ii) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eclipsys and Arsenal Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allscripts (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Eclipsys, with Eclipsys surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Allscripts (the “Merger”).

On July 26, 2010, Allscripts, Misys and Eclipsys entered into an amendment to the Framework Agreement (the “Amendment”). Prior to the Amendment, the obligation of Allscripts and Misys to complete the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement was conditioned upon the sale by Misys, directly or through one or more of its subsidiaries, of no fewer than 36 million shares of Allscripts common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in an underwritten secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”). As a result of the Amendment, the minimum number of shares required to be sold by Misys in the Secondary Offering will be reduced from 36 million to 25 million if (i) Allscripts stockholders approve the issuance of Allscripts common stock to Eclipsys stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) Eclipsys stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. The Amendment also makes certain conforming changes to the form of Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Framework Agreement to reflect the possibility that Misys may sell fewer shares than previously contemplated in the Secondary Offering.

If Misys were to sell 25 million shares in the Secondary Offering, Misys’ equity stake in Allscripts following the Merger would be expected to be approximately 13.5%, assuming Misys elects to exercise its right under the Framework Agreement to require Allscripts to repurchase approximately 5.3 million shares of Allscripts common stock from Misys or one or more of its subsidiaries after the closing of the Merger.

The foregoing summaries of the Framework Agreement and the Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement and the Amendment, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The Framework Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Eclipsys’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2010, and the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 27, 2010, Allscripts and Eclipsys issued a joint press release regarding the Amendment, which included an announcement, among other things, that the 30-day waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, applicable to the Merger expired at 11:59 p.m. ET on July 26, 2010. A copy of the joint press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
