Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously announced, Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“Allscripts”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Misys plc (“Misys”), Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC (“MHS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Misys, and Patriot Merger Company, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or, where permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth therein, MHS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allscripts.

Misys Financing with Lehman Brothers

On September 16, 2008 Misys and Allscripts each issued a press release regarding the impact of recent events at Lehman Brothers. In connection with the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Lehman Brothers committed to a $305 million term and revolving credit facility agreement dated March 19, 2008 (as amended and restated on July 22, 2008) with Misys in order to fund a portion of the $330 million payment by Misys to Allscripts contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Misys has stated that it has been unable to confirm whether Lehman Brothers will be able to fulfill its role under this facility and has therefore commenced the process of identifying other funding alternatives and is in discussions with several other debt providers. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not subject to a financing condition.

Given the circumstances, Allscripts intends to adjourn its 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, scheduled for Monday September 22, 2008 to October 6, 2008, the same date to which Misys has determined to adjourn its extraordinary general meeting.

Copies of the above referenced press releases of Misys and Allscripts are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Convertible Debenture Complaint

Also on September 15, 2008, Allscripts received notice that LaSalle Bank N.A., solely in its capacity as indenture trustee (“LaSalle”), filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, on behalf of the holders of Allscripts’ 3.50% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 (the “Debentures”) seeking payment of the “Additional Shares” (as defined in the Indenture dated as of July 6, 2004 between LaSalle and Allscripts (the “Indenture”)) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Allscripts believes that the complaint is without merit and will vigorously contest the claims set forth in the complaint.

Allscripts does not expect the complaint to affect its ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the timing thereof.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

This communication is being made in respect of the proposed business combination involving a subsidiary of Allscripts and MHS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Misys. In connection with this proposed transaction, Allscripts has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement. BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ALLSCRIPTS AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.

MISYS PLC

MERGER UPDATE RE: MERGER OF MISYS HEALTHCARE AND A SUBSIDIARY OF

ALLSCRIPTS

London, (September 16, 2008) - Misys (FTSE: MSY), notes recent events involving Lehman Brothers. As part of the proposed merger of Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC (“MHS”) with a subsidiary of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“Allscripts”), Lehman Brothers committed to a $305 million term and revolving credit facility agreement with Misys, dated 19 March 2008 (as amended and restated on 22 July 2008) in order to fund a portion of the payment by Misys to Allscripts.

Given events surrounding the future of Lehman Brothers, we are unable to get certainty as to whether Lehman Brothers will be able to fulfill its role under this facility. Consequently Misys has already commenced the process of identifying other funding alternatives and is in discussions with several debt providers with a view to ensuring sufficient funds are available at completion of the proposed merger with Allscripts’ subsidiary.

Misys’ existing debt financing is not sourced from Lehman Brothers and as such is not affected by Lehman Brothers’ current trading position. In addition, Lehman Brothers is currently a customer for the Misys Loan IQ and Misys Summit products: however, amounts outstanding for receivables and contracted future revenue are immaterial to the Misys Group.

Given the current circumstances, the Board of Misys has taken the decision to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) convened to approve the merger on Monday 22 September 2008. The EGM will be reconvened on 6 October 2008 to allow Misys and its shareholders a sufficient period of time to address the Lehman Brothers’ situation. Further details relating to the reconvened EGM will be circulated to shareholders in due course. Misys continues to support the merger of MHS with Allscripts’ subsidiary and Misys and Allscripts are working together to bring the transaction to a successful conclusion.
