November 5, 2008
Dear Emageon Customer,
As I mentioned in my letter to you on October 13, 2008, we recently signed a definitive agreement for the proposed acquisition of Emageon Inc. by Health Systems Solutions, Inc. (HSS). The purpose of this letter is to provide you with additional information regarding the transaction.
On October 31, 2008, we filed our preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which includes, among other things, a description of the history of and circumstances resulting in the execution of the definitive agreement. Once cleared by the SEC, the proxy statement will be used to solicit stockholder approval of the transaction at a special meeting of Emageon stockholders to be held in Birmingham, Alabama.
Among the other items discussed in the preliminary proxy statement are certain Emageon executive staff changes that would take place upon completion of the transaction. Specifically, upon the closing of the transaction, I will leave the employ of Emageon. Although I will no longer be an employee of Emageon, I am committed to facilitating a smooth transition and integration.
Additionally, we announced that Keith Stahlhut will take over operation of HSS’ Emageon division as President. As most of you know, Keith has been with Emageon since 2000 and has the trust and support of our employees and customers. Keith will report directly to Stan Vashovsky, CEO of HSS.
We still anticipate that most of our current management and operating team will stay intact through the completion of the transaction, and will continue to serve you and your business with the same care and attention you receive today. You should experience no change to the way in which you do business with Emageon on a day-to-day basis as a result of the transaction.
Since making this company a reality over eight years ago, I never lost my excitement over what Emageon meant to the practice of health care. I continue to feel this sense of excitement as the new owners and new investors pick up the baton and continue the mission of creating new products and services to assist our customers in reaching their goals to enhance patient care, increase service to physicians and reduce the total cost of ownership.
Best Regards,

(.s. Charles A. Jett, Jr.)
Charles A. Jett, Jr.
Chief Executive Officer
