During a 2020 of uncertainty and change – whether due to the health, business and economic consequences

We are extremely proud of the COVID-19 pandemic,continued momentum we’ve gained as we helped our clients and associates navigate through the continued shift indifficult times of the digitization and democratization of health care, or the use of our collective voices to champion social justice –last two years.

Together, we are our Vision: Buildingbuilding Open, Connected Communities of Health.

For Everyone.everyone.

As some of the uncertainty of 2020 continued into 2021, the world made great progress in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, and our vision of building open, connected communities of health—for everyone— – could not have been moreremained exceptionally relevant to Allscripts clients across the globe. With the reset we did in 2020to ensure we could deliver to our clients we serve globally. The needthe healthcare technologies and solutions to connect millions of humans aroundcombat the world was facilitated by our belief that clientsworldwide pandemic and patients should have access to their records, and those data should be accessible to caregivers, researchers, governments and tobest support the patients themselves. The pandemic put an exclamation point on community-based, individually coordinated care onthey serve, we were well positioned for a grand scale.successful 2021.  

 

Community-wide dataWe are proud that were ready to assist with the global healthcare challenges that continued in 2021, specifically around resource availability and referral networks eased patient transitions and facilitated provider resourcing, which contributed to broad, unified patientcaregiver fatigue. While virtual care, easing the clinical and financial burden in any particular system. Whilesuch as telehealth, has received much applausepraise for the swift and effective response during this crisis,how it has enabled care in any setting, it is important to noteconsider that corevirtual care innately creates new challenges for caregivers and the communities that they serve. Allscripts EHR platforms werethat support these evolving care modalities, and the way in which they are designed with clinician insight to better support their needs, are increasingly foundational to the success of the rapid response.  Those include population analytics, post-acute networks and patient engagement. All ofour ongoing response to an ever-evolving healthcare climate. Allscripts has navigated these systems have been utilized to orchestrate the necessary actions towaters successfully treat and contain this virulent pandemic. Allscripts succeeded by keeping itsmaintaining a focus on our Mission: Createmission to create healthier lives by generating and providing insights that changebetter support the delivery of care.

 

We continue to create and improve our products to help healthcare become smarter, more intuitive and Open, for everyone. We understand the immense pressures physicians, hospitals and health systems face in managing the financial and competitive realities without compromising care, and we are here to help. Humans helping humans – that’s what it’s all about.

I couldn’t be prouder ofSpecifically looking at what we have accomplished, last yearAllscripts has always worked to digitally transform healthcare. We believe that our clients and the patients they serve should always have their healthcare data readily accessible—that’s why we continue our focus on connecting communities all over the world. As we make progress during the pandemic, we are committed to returning to a reality of wellness—everywhere.  The actions taken in 2021, support our continued forward momentum.

Our success is reflected in our financial results. We are extremely proud of the significant year-over-year growth in bookings, operating income, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow that we achieved in 2021, along with the continued momentum we’ve gained as we helped our industry-leading COVID-19 response, our sustained improvements to our products and financials,clients and our leadership on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) matters. At the same time, weassociates navigate through these difficult times. We delivered exceptional shareholderstockholder  value, with a 45%27.77% increase in share price between January 2, 20202021 and December 31, 2020, unlocked trapped value through the sale of EPSi and CarePort and ended the year with no net debt. All of this leaves Allscripts well positioned for a bright future.2021.

 

A COVID-19 Response SecondIn 2021, Allscripts focused on further streamlining our portfolio of solutions to Noneposition the company for long-term growth. This sharpened attention toward growth culminated with the binding agreement to sell our Hospitals and Large Physicians Practice business segment to a subsidiary of Constellation Software that we announced in March 2022.  With this streamlining, we can specifically concentrate on our Veradigm® business.

Using those proceeds, we reset our balance sheet to end 2020 with no net debt and repurchasedRead, raising more than $280 million$30,000 on behalf of common stock during the year via both open market and accelerated repurchase programs. The exceptional shareholder value we delivered through these actions was reflected in a 45% increase in share price between January 2, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

Drove Clinician-centered Innovation and Partnerships. With the rising prevalence of provider burnout well documented, our innovations focused on making providers’ lives easier.

Corporate Social Responsibility at the Core of Allscripts

Giving Back to Our Communities. As further detailed in our inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility Report, our global workforce is united and driven by a core set of values: we are solution seekers, community builders and life changers. Together, we fed the hungry, built homes, donated blood, provided disaster relief, educated the next generation, comforted the elderly and so much more. As our charitable commitment was not corporate driven, it allowed our associates to give back to their local communities in ways that were incredible, personally unique and creative. Our offices around the world organized more than 25 separate food drives and fundraisers for local organizations supporting those facing hunger and homelessness in 2020. We supported Make-A-Wish foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charities, Go Red Day for the American Heart Association, Bake-off for Cancer in the UK, Habitat for Humanity and No Kid Hungry. Communities supporting and caring for each other – the essence of connecting.

Special Place for Nurse Heroes. In 2020, we also became an ambassador for Nurse Heroes, a new initiative created to recognize and honor nurses, while also helping educate and empower them for their careers. Through this partnership, Allscripts supports Nurse Heroes in providing scholarships for nurses to either begin nursing school or complete higher-ed certification programs for medical career advancement. As part of that commitment, Allscripts joined motivated philanthropists, media organizations, celebrities and healthcare institutions to honor Nurse Heroes through a Thanksgiving Day virtual concert experience airing on NBC. Entertainers including Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, Marc Anthony and the Black Eyed Peas joined host Whoopi Goldberg and special guests Billy Crystal and Oprah Winfrey for the celebration of Nurse Heroes. Healthcare could not exist without them.

Committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I). As many studies have shown, workplace(DEI)

We believe an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion is essential to Allscripts continued success. When put into practice, a workplace in which every voice is heard and valued provides the groundwork for achieving greater success. While approximately 25% of tech-sector jobs are held by women, 40% of Allscripts associates are women. Five ofIn 2021, the ten of my executive team members are women and two of the ten are minorities. Three of the eight independent members of our Board of Directors are women. We believe fostering diversity, equity and inclusion is good for business.

To keep driving our DE&I efforts,civically. Additionally, we are proud of the individual launches of new Enrichment Groups, including Allscripts Pride Alliance, Allscripts Black Alliance, HOLA (Hispanic Outreach for Latinos at Allscripts), and Veterans & Allies. Diversity comes in the past year we launched a Champions Network of associates from diverse backgrounds and locations to help support our DE&I efforts and had mandatory DE&I training for all associates director and above. Diversity can come in manyvarious forms, and all bring usprovide our company with a richer, broader poolroster of people with varioustalented associates who can share unique and important ideas, experiences and perspectives. Additionally, Allscripts announced that the Allscripts Developer Program (“ADP”) launched ADP Empower, a new program designed to amplify diverse voices in the healthcare technology industry and offer valuable resources to underrepresented entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and accelerate innovation.  We firmly believe Allscripts can be a better world is possible and it begins with eachchampion of us.creating positive change.

In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis. The Company encourages its stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact of its annual meetings and reduce the cost to the Company associated with the physical printing and mailing of materials.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How can I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

The Company has adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, the Company may deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of the Company’s annual meetings and reduces the Company’s printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. Upon request, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to any stockholder at a shared address to which the Company delivered a single copy of any of these documents.

To receive free of charge a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, or separate copies of any future notice, proxy statement, or annual report, stockholders may write or call the Company at: Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 2024, Chicago, Illinois 60654, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or (312) 447-2495.

If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please contact the Company using the mailing address or telephone number above. Stockholders who hold shares in “street name” (as described below) may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization to request information about householding.

How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to use the Internet to view the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting and instruct the Company to send future proxy materials to you by e-mail. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by e-mail will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 2


General Information

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”?

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you by the Company.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in “Street Name”. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name,” and a Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee how to vote your shares.

If I am a stockholder of record of the Company’s shares, how do I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote:

Via the Internet. You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice.

By Telephone. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card and you may vote by proxy by calling the toll-free number found on the proxy card.

By Mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card and you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided.

Virtually at the Annual Meeting. If you have properly registered and been verified using the procedures described below, you will be able to vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting while the polls are open.

If I am a beneficial owner of the Company’s shares held in “street name”, how do I vote?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”, there are four ways to vote:

Via the Internet. You may vote by proxy via the Internet by visiting www.proxyvote.com and entering the control number found in your Notice. The availability of Internet voting may depend on the voting process of the organization that holds your shares.

By Telephone. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voting instruction form and you may vote by proxy by calling the toll-free number found on the voting instruction form. The availability of telephone voting may depend on the voting process of the organization that holds your shares.

By Mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a voting instruction form and you may vote by proxy by filling out the form and returning it in the envelope provided.

Virtually at the Annual Meeting. If you have properly registered and been verified using the procedures described below, you will be able to vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting while the polls are open.

What is the quorum required for the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person, by remote communication or by proxy, of the holders of not less than one-third of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. You will be considered part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card, if you vote over the Internet or by telephone, or if you virtually attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Company may propose to adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

How are proxies voted?

All shares represented by valid proxies received prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting will be voted and, where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

General Information

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you (i) indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board; or (ii) sign and return a proxy card or vote by Internet or telephone without giving specific voting instructions, then the persons named as proxy holders, Paul M. Black and Richard J. Poulton and Leah S. Jones, will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 3


General Information

Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, then, under applicable rules, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on “routine” matters but cannot vote on “non-routine” matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, that organization will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Which proposals are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?

The ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 20212022 (Proposal Two) is considered a routine matter under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected in connection with Proposal Two.

Each of the other proposals, the election of directors (Proposal One) and the advisory resolution to approve the Company’s named executive officer compensation (Proposal Three) are considered non-routine matters under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore broker non-votes may exist in connection with each of Proposals One and Three.

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

With respect to the election of directors (Proposal One), in accordance with the policy of majority voting in uncontested director elections set forth in the Company’s by-laws, if the number of shares voted “FOR” any nominee exceeds the number of shares voted “AGAINST” such nominee, he or she will be elected as a director to serve until the Company’s 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. If any nominee is an incumbent director and fails to receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her nomination, he or she must tender a resignation as director, and such resignation will be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Approval of each of Proposals Two and Three requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter.

How are broker non-votes and abstentions treated?

Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. With respect to the election of directors (Proposal One), a stockholder abstention or broker non-vote with respect to any nominee will have no effect on that nominee’s election. With respect to Proposals Two and Three, a stockholder abstention will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the approval of each proposal, but a broker non-vote will have no effect on the approval of the proposal. As noted above, no broker non-votes are expected in connection with Proposal Two.

In order to minimize the number of broker non-votes, the Company encourages you to vote or to provide voting instructions with respect to each proposal to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided in the Notice or voting instruction form.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the vote is taken at the Annual Meeting. Prior to the applicable cutoff time, you may change your vote using the Internet or telephone methods described above, in which case only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted. You may also revoke your proxy and change your vote by signing and returning a new proxy card or voting instruction

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election after the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 2024, Chicago, Illinois 60654. The Company’s main telephone number is (800) 334-8534.

Who is paying the costs of the proxy solicitation?

The Company is providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Company’s Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting. The Company is paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. The Company must pay brokerage firms, banks, broker-dealers, or other similar organizations representing beneficial owners of shares held in street name certain fees associated with (i) forwarding the Notice to beneficial owners; (ii) forwarding printed proxy materials by mail to beneficial owners who specifically request them; and (iii) obtaining beneficial owners’ voting instructions. The Company has not, but may in the future decide to, retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Generally, the fee for such services is approximately $15,000 plus expenses. If the Company does elect to retain a proxy solicitor, the Company will pay the proxy solicitor reasonable and customary fees. In addition to solicitations by mail, the proxy solicitor, if any, and certain of the Company’s directors, officers, and employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies on the Company’s behalf in person, by telephone, or by electronic communication.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

General Information

 

We have created and implemented the virtual format in order to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation by enabling stockholders to participate fully, and equally, from any location around the world, at no cost. However, you will bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies. A virtual Annual Meeting makes it possible for more stockholders (regardless of size, resources or physical location) to have direct access to information more quickly, while saving the company and our stockholders time and money, especially as physical attendance at meetings has dwindled. We also believe that the online tools we have selected will increase stockholder communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the Annual Meeting so they can ask questions of our board of directors or management. During the live Q&A session of the Annual Meeting, we may answer questions as they come in and address those asked in advance, to the extent relevant to the business of the Annual Meeting, as time permits.

For example, the Nominating Committee reviews legal and regulatory compliance risks as they relate to corporate governance structure and processes, and the Compensation Committee reviews risks related to compensation matters. The Chairman of each of these committees periodically apprises the Board of significant risks and the Company’s management’s response to these risks, as appropriate.

In establishing and reviewing the Company’s executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers whether the program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and has concluded that it does not. The Company’s executive officers’ base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk-taking, and the majority of compensation provided to the Company’s executive officers is in the form of long-term equity awards that help align executive pay with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that these awards do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking because the ultimate value of the awards is tied to the Company’s financial or stock price performance, and because awards are subject to regular

vesting schedules to help ensure that a significant component of executive compensation is tied to long-term stockholder value creation.

The Compensation Committee has also reviewed the Company’s compensation programs for employees generally, and has concluded that these programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s annual cash and long-term equity awards provide an effective and appropriate mix of incentives to help ensure the Company’s performance is focused on long-term stockholder value creation and do not encourage short-term risk-taking at the expense of long-term results.

While the Board and its committees oversee risk management strategy, the Company’s management is responsible for implementing and supervising day-to-day risk management processes and reporting to the Board and its committees on such matters.

Audit Committee Financial Experts

The Board has determined that each of Ms. Altman, Ms. Aspinall, Mr. Garrison, Mr. David D. Stevens and Ms. Zierhoffer qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable SEC rules. The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the additional criteria for independence of audit committee members set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.

Code of Conduct

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of its employees, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and senior accounting officers, as well as to the Board. The Code of

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company, or one or more of its subsidiaries, may occasionally enter into transactions with certain “related persons.” Related persons include the Company’s executive officers, directors, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock, immediate family members of any of these persons, and entities in which one or more of these persons has a direct or indirect material interest. The Company refers to transactions with these related persons as “related party transactions.”

In accordance with the Company’s written policy, the Audit Committee (or, in certain circumstances, disinterested members of the Board) is responsible for the review and approval of each related party transaction exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. The Audit Committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including, without limitation:

The size of the transaction and the amount of consideration payable to a related person;

The nature of the interest of the applicable related person;

Whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest;

Whether the transaction involves the provision of goods or services to the Company that are available from unaffiliated third parties; and

Whether the proposed transaction is on terms and made under circumstances that are at least as favorable to the Company as would be available in comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties.

Since January 1, 2020,2021, neither the Board nor the Audit Committee has been made aware of or asked to review and approve any “related party transactions.”  The Company is not aware of any transactions in the last fiscal year where the above policies were not followed.

Compensation of Directors

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation program for the Company’s non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee utilizes a combination of cash and equity as a way to attract and retain qualified directors. The 2021 non-employee director compensation program did not change as compared to the 2020 non-employee director compensation program.

Cash Compensation

For 2020,2021, the annual retainer paid to the Company’s non-employee directors was $60,000, payable in equal quarterly installments. Non-employee directors also received a retainer of $2,000 for attendance at Board meetings in excess of ten per year, and $1,500 for attendance at each committee meeting. The Chairman of the Board may waive the additional $2,000 fee for the entire Board, and may waive the $1,500 fee for any applicable committee meeting for the attendees thereof. The Chairman of each committee may also waive the $1,500 fee for any committee meeting he chairs. Each non-employee director of the Company is also reimbursed for expenses incurred when attending Board and committee meetings and other Board-related activities.

The Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer in the amount of $100,000, payable in equal quarterly installments. Each Chairman of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $25,000, $25,000, and $15,000, respectively, for his service as Chairman of the respective committees, payable in equal quarterly installments. Each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee also receives an additional annual retainer of $2,500 per committee served. All of the foregoing payments are pro-rated for the dates of applicable service.

Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, non-employee directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their quarterly cash retainer payment in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”). DSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at the time the director’s Board service ends. The number of DSUs granted is determined by dividing the portion of the cash compensation with respect to which the election is made by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the cash compensation is due to be paid. DSUs issued in lieu of cash compensation are fully-vested.

Equity Compensation

Under the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. For 2020,2021, the value of each annual equity award was $200,000, delivered in the form of RSUs, which fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, upon a change of control of the Company. If a non-employee director retires from the Board prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, a pro-rata portion of the RSUs will vest based on the time elapsed from the grant date to the date of retirement. Annual director equity awards are granted after the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to coincide with the commencement of director terms.

Executive Summary

In 20202021 the Company continued to make progress on its key strategic and operational imperatives which are intended to deliver sustained improvements in the Company’s products and financials, and in turn to position the Company for sustainable long-term growth both domestically and globally. The Company also continued to execute on the plan began in 2020 to reset and effectively manage the Company’s cost base, portfolio, balance sheet and capital structure. We believe that these efforts have had abuilt on the positive effect onmomentum developed during 2020 to further improve the Company’s stock price and market capitalization.capitalization during 2021. The Company’s closing stock price per share on December 31, 2019 was $9.82, and the Company’s closing stock price per share on December 31, 2020 was $14.44, and the Company’s closing stock price per share on December 31, 2021 was $18.45, a 45%27.77% increase over that period.

Faced with an uncertain environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic,Operationally, in 2021 the Company acted quicklycontinued to develop an industry leading COVID-19 response. We enabledleverage our products to support COVID-19 screening and assessments, increase telehealth deployment, conduct vaccine administration, and provide and analytics to data to support COVID-19 vaccine research and development. The Company also played a key role in Israel’s effective COVID-19 response by connecting the country’s healthcare providers into a single network able to gather COVID-19 data and coordinate care through the interoperability platform dbMotionTM.    

With a goal of improving both short-term and long-term value for the Company’s stockholders, we took decisive action to reset the Company’s cost base, portfolio, balance sheet and capital structure during 2020. This included implementing cost reduction initiatives across all functional disciplines of the Company to reduce low-value operating costs, align our cost base with revenues, and improve our margins. The Company also sold the CarePort Health business (“CarePort”) to WellSky Corp., in exchange for $1.35 billion and the EPSi business (“EPSi”) to Strata Decision Technology, in exchange for $365 million. The CarePort and EPSi transactions represented the divestiture of less than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, and the proceeds from those transactions allowed the Company to repurchase more than $280 million of stock during the year and to end 2020 with no net debt.

During 2020 the Company extended its long-standinglongstanding strategic alliancepartnership with Microsoft which is focused on makingto enable the development and delivery of cloud-based health IT solutions easierinformation technology solutions. This partnership allows the Company to enhance our client’s high availability, cybersecurity, disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities, each of which have become more secureimportant during 2021.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s executive compensation program is designedsupport to provide for rigorous pay-for-performance accountability and strongly align realizable compensation outcomes with key financial metrics and valuation over multiple year measurement periods. For example, in 2017 and 2018 each of the then serving NEOs received an award of performance stock units (“PSUs”) that were eligible to vest in 2020 and 2021, respectively, based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) measured against a peer group of companies over a three-year performance period. Because those PSUs require sustained performance over a three-year period, none (0%) of such PSUs granted in 2017 and 2018 actually earned and vested in 2020 and 2021 and were canceled based on the Company’s performance through February 2020 and February 2021, respectively. In order to realize a significant portion of long-term incentive compensation from the Company’s stock price appreciation during 2020, the Company’s NEOs will have to sustain that performance over a period of multiple years. This outcome demonstrates the Company’s commitment to rewarding sustainable long-term financial performance.underrepresented entrepreneurs.  

The chart below compares the average for the three previous years of the target total compensation opportunity provided to Mr. Black, including base salary, annual bonus and equity awards, to the value for each element of compensation that was realized or realizable by Mr. Black as of the end of 2020.2021. For the three-year period from 20182019 to 2020,2021, roughly 134%194% of Mr. Black’s target compensation has either been realized or is realizable. For the chart below, Mr. Black’s annual bonus amount in the column on the right reflects the average of the actual annual bonuses that he earned during the three-year period, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table – 2021, 2020 2019 and 2018.2019. Mr. Black’s 2018, 2019, 2020 and 20202021 realized or realizable equity includes PSUs and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) either earned and vested or eligible to vest in the future under awards granted in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2020.2021.  All equity awards are valued using $14.44$18.45 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2020,2021, and, in the case of PSUs subject to on-going performance periods, estimated performance as of December 31, 2020.2021.

CEO Three-Year Average Target Versus Realized or Realizable Compensation

 

We believe the realized or realizable compensation and their relationship to target compensation over the three-year cumulative period is reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for performance” in that differences between realized and realizable pay and target compensation, as well as fluctuations compared to prior periods, are primarily the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our annual incentive plan for senior executives and the PSUs.

CEO Three-Year Average Target Versus Realized The very high percentage of Mr. Black’s total compensation that has been realized or Realizable Compensation

is realizable is reflective of the Company’s positive financial performance over the last three years.

 

The Compensation Committee considered financial and operational results, as well as the Company’s stock price performance, when making compensation decisions for 2020.2021. In designing and overseeing the various elements of the 20202021 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee focused on aligning executive compensation with financial metrics that the Compensation Committee believes are indicative of the Company’s ability to build and sustain growth.growth and continued accountability for our long-term stock price performance with the use of rigorously-designed relative TSR PSUs.

“At-Risk Compensation” is compensation where the value is either based upon the Company’s financial performance or stock price.

“Performance-Based Compensation” is compensation that is dependent on achievement against pre-established quantitative performance goals.

The at-risk elements of the Company’s 20202021 executive compensation program are annual incentive cash bonuses and long-term incentive equity awards. With respect to annual incentive cash bonuses, the Compensation Committee approved the Company’s annual incentive cash bonus plan (the “2020“2021 Bonus Plan”) with potential payouts that are fully contingent on the Company’s non-GAAP EPS performance. A threshold level of non-GAAP EPS performance must be attained before payment of any bonuses under the 20202021 Bonus Plan.

With respect to equity awards, in 20202021 the Compensation Committee approved annual equity grants to the NEOs in the form of:

75% PSUs, an increase from 50% PSUs, in 2019, 50% of which may be earned based on the Company’s TSR relative to a pre-established peer group, measured over a single three-year performance period; and 50% of which may be earned based on the Company’s year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA margin,generating free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021, and which cliff vest at the end of a three-year period, thereby maintaining accountability for long-term stock price performance; and

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

As in recent years, the Compensation Committee chose to structure a significant portion of each NEO’s compensation as at-risk compensation, with the compensation actually realized by each NEO significantly impacted by the financial and/or stock price performance of the Company.  

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee engages in an ongoing review of the Company’s executive compensation program to evaluate whether the program supports the Company’s compensation objectives and is aligned with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders, taking into account input from stockholders andincluding the results of the annual say-on-pay vote. In connection with this ongoing review, the Compensation Committee has continued to monitor the Company’s executive compensation program to ensure thatevaluate whether the Company maintains best practices with respect to executive compensation.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 28


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s primary objective for its executive compensation program is to attract, retain, and motivate outstanding leaders who will drive the Company’s long-term success. The Compensation Committee seeks to establish and implement a compensation program for the Company’s NEOs that emphasizes pay-for-performance, and is designed to meet the following objectives:

Reward outstanding performance for an individual’s performance against corporate goals;

Provide long-term incentive compensation through equity awards, a significant portion of which are performance-based;

Provide executive compensation levels and structures that are both competitive in the executive market and internally equitable; and

Align the Company’s executive compensation with the Company’s financial performance in order to incentivize the creation of sustainable value for the Company’s stockholders.

The Company maintains the following balance of compensation practices that it believes enhances its pay-for-performance philosophy and aligns the Company’s executives’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders:

Compensation Procedures

Compensation Committee

During 2020,2021, Jonathan J. Judge (Chairman), Michael A. Klayko, and Dave B. Stevens served on the Compensation Committee. Mr. Judge joined in May 2016 and became Chairman in May 2018, Mr. Klayko joined in May 2013, and Mr. Stevens joined in May 2017. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities with respect to executive compensation include:

Establishing the Company’s compensation philosophy;

Overseeing the development and implementation of the Company’s compensation policies;

Reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO and other executive officers; and

Approving the compensation levels of each of the executive officers, and, in the case of the CEO, obtaining concurrence on the CEO’s compensation from each independent member of the Board.officers.

Role of Management

The primary objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to align the program with the Company’s financial performance and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that this alignment is best achieved through consultations with members of the Company’s senior management, because management is responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations and for creating and executing the Company’s business plan. As such, the Company’s management provides the Compensation Committee with valuable insights into the Company’s day-to-day operations and future expectations, which the Company believes are supported by the rewards and incentives in the compensation program. In 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee consulted with Messrs.Mr. Black, Mr. Poulton and PoultonMs. Vakharia in formulating compensation plans. Messrs.Mr. Black, Mr. Poulton and PoultonMs. Vakharia attended Compensation Committee meetings during which NEO and employee compensation decisions were made, but each was not present during the Compensation Committee’s discussions regarding his or her own compensation. The Compensation Committee also regularly meets in executive session without any members of management present.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee retained Compensia to serve as its independent compensation consultant with respect to decisions regarding 20202021 compensation. Compensia reported directly to the Compensation Committee and participated in Compensation Committee meetings. Compensia did not perform any other services for the Company in 2020.2021. After considering Compensia’s relationship with the Company, the services provided by Compensia, and information provided to the Compensation Committee by Compensia, the Compensation Committee determined that Compensia met the independence requirements to serve as its independent compensation consultant and that Compensia’s work did not raise any conflict of interest.

Specifically, Compensia:

Advised on the design of the Company’s executive compensation program in order to assist the Compensation Committee in evaluating the linkage between pay and performance;

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Provided and reviewed market compensation and performance data to assist the Compensation Committee in setting 20202021 executive compensation relative to competitive market data;

Advised the Compensation Committee regarding the elements of the Company’s 20202021 executive compensation program, equity grants, and equity compensation-related dilution levels relative to the Company’s peers; and

Advised the Compensation Committee regarding the Company’s compensation risk assessment, which assessment concluded that the compensation programs of the Company in 20202021 did not create incentives that were reasonably likely to materially harm the Company.

Market Analysis

The Compensation Committee considers relevant market pay practices and relative performance when setting executive compensation and incentive goals. Market practices, or benchmarks, are based on peer group disclosure. When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee considers the market data in conjunction with other factors, such as an officer’s individual tenure and performance, unique qualifications, and role and impact within the Company. Working with Compensia, the Compensation Committee established aan updated peer group to be used in designing

Revenues ranging generally between 0.3x0.5x and 1.6x2.5x of the Company’s trailing four quarter revenues, with median revenues of approximately $1.2 billion (the Company’s trailing four quarter revenues, when the peer group was determined, was approximately $1.8 billion);$1.3 billion; and

A market capitalization range generally between 0.35x0.25x and 4.3x4x of the Company’s market capitalization, with median market capitalization of $3.4 billion (for reference, the Company’s market capitalization, as of November 2019 when the peer group was determined, was approximately $1.8 billion).$4.1 billion. Although Cerner Corporation has aand Veeva Systems have market capitalizationcapitalizations outside of this range, it wasthey were included because Cerner isand Veeva Systems are viewed as akey healthcare technology competitorcompetitors that competescompete directly with the Company for customers and executive talent.

The peer group used to evaluate 20202021 compensation decisions consisted of the 2221 U.S.-based publicly traded healthcare technology companies and general software companies listed below (the “2020“2021 peer group”). For 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee chose to remove athenahealth, which was acquired,Medidata Solutions, Inc., LogMeIn, Inc., and Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys because they no longer fit within the applicable market capitalization range.Navigant Consulting, Inc., due to their acquisitions.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Elements of Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs for its NEOs are competitive and appropriately designed to attract and retain key employees, reward performance, and promote long-term stockholder value. This section describes the elements of the Company’s compensation program for NEOs, together with a discussion of various compensation decisions.

The principal components of the Company’s 20202021 executive compensation program were base salary, annual incentive cash bonuses, and long-term incentive equity awards. The Company also provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan with certain matching contributions, group health and welfare plans, and group term life insurance. In addition, the Company provides the NEOs with severance benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances, including following a change of control of the Company, as more fully described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The Company does not maintain defined benefit pension plans for its NEOs because the Compensation Committee believes that the existing compensation arrangements enable the Company’s NEOs to adequately plan for their retirement and that wealth creation should primarily be a function of performance for the Company’s stockholders.

Base Salary

Base salaries are paid to the NEOs to compensate them for the performance of their respective job duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries of the NEOs on an annual basis. In setting annual base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the Company’s overall financial and operating performance in the prior year, the Company-wide target for base salary increases for all employees, market and competitive salary information, changes in the scope of an NEO’s job responsibilities, and other relevant factors.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 31


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

When considering market and competitive salary information, the Compensation Committee has historically reviewed peer compensation data, although there is no target compensation level. The Compensation Committee also reviews each NEO’s scope of role and performance, as well as the performance of the business units and departments for which he or she is responsible, to the extent applicable. For Mr. Black, the Compensation Committee evaluates his performance and determines any salary adjustment, then obtains the concurrence of the non-employee members of the Board for any such adjustment. For each of the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee receives a performance evaluation from the CEO and a recommendation for any salary adjustment. For 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Poulton should receive a base salary increase of eleven percent, which is larger than typical annual increases, based on his critical role at the Company encompassing both President and Chief Financial Officer duties and significant impact on the Company’s overall financial and operatingimproved performance did not warrant an increase in any NEO’s base salary.  Accordingly, each NEO other than Ms. Vakharia continued to receive the same base salarysince 2020, as he or she received in 2019. Ms. Vakharia was promoted to the positionwell as a review of Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Marketing & Government Affairs in June 2020 and received an increase in her base salary to reflect her new role.competitive market data for his roles.

Annual Incentive Cash Bonuses

Consistent with its approach since 2016, the Compensation Committee chose non-GAAP EPS as the financial performance measure for the 20202021 Bonus Plan. The non-GAAP EPS targets established by the Committee tied the 20202021 Bonus Plan to a rigorous goal based on a key measure stockholders consider when evaluating the performance of the Company. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding in the applicable period. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income/(loss) as reported, and adds back acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense, nonrecurring expenses and transaction-related costs, non-cash asset impairment charges, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investments, in each case net of any related tax effects. In November 2020, following the successful disposition of EPSi for $365 million, the Compensation Committee adjusted the non-GAAP EPS performance range down by $0.02 to reflect the loss of income from EPSi for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 and the resulting net impact on the Company’s consolidated results for the full year. The non-GAAP EPS performance range approved by the Compensation Committee in November 2020 is shown in the table below. No other adjustments were made to the non-GAAP EPS performance range for 2020 from what was established at the beginning of 2020.

Bonus payments for the NEOs under the 20202021 Bonus Plan were based on the Company’s non-GAAP EPS performance for the year. Pursuant to the approved non-GAAP EPS performance range, the Company’s reported fiscal 20202021 non-GAAP EPS of $0.76,$1.43, which would result in a bonus payment equal to 111.1%200% of target bonus for each NEO. After consideringGiven the proposed bonus payments based on the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee also considered the individual performance of each NEO and the achievement over the maximum of the EPS range, the Committee did not exercise its discretion to decrease the cash incentive bonus payout to any NEO. As a result,Accordingly, the Compensation Committee adjusted Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia’s bonuses based on their performance in 2020. Mr. Poulton was critical to the successful sales of CarePort and EPSi, as well as being the driving force behind the implementation of cost reduction initiatives across the Company during 2020.  Ms. Vakharia was critical to the Company’s information security and regulatory compliance efforts during 2020, which included playing a key role in evaluating and implementing changes necessitated by the Company’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment. For Mr. Poulton, the Compensation Committee approved a bonus paymentpayout of 200% of his target bonus. For Ms. Vakharia, the Compensation Committee approved a bonus payment of 150% of her target bonus. Forto each of Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia, the Compensation Committee chose to approve bonuses that were within the potential maximum bonus percentage opportunities authorizedNEO under the 20202021 Bonus Plan. The Compensation Committee also ensured that the bonuses paid to Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia did not cause the Company to exceed the aggregate bonus pool funded for all employees under the 2020 Bonus Plan based on fiscal 2020 non-GAAP EPS performance of $0.76. The amounts paid to each of Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia above 111.1% of target are reported as discretionary performance bonuses in the table below. The Compensation Committee did not make further adjustments based on individual performance and Mr. Black and Ms. Khorey each received a bonus equal to 111.1% of his or her target bonus for 2020. Due to their mid-year departures, Messrs. Olis and Farley were not eligible for a payout under the 2020 Bonus Plan.

Equity Awards

Under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, PSUs, RSUs, and other forms of equity compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that the issuance of equity-based long-term incentive awards to the Company’s NEOs is consistent with its stated objective of establishing an executive compensation program that aligns executives’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

In considering annual equity awards, the Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the Company’s overall equity program, including items such as the Company’s total projected equity budget for the year, the Company’s aggregate equity usage relative to peers, and the available share pool; and it factors that review into its annual award decisions. The Compensation Committee also considers market data for the Company’s peer group, individual factors such as the performance, responsibilities and qualifications of each NEO, each NEO’s past equity awards, and the unvested retention value attributable to past awards when considering the amount and structure of equity awarded to each NEO annually.

For 2020,2021, each of the NEOs other than Ms. Vakharia was provided 75%50% of his or her annual equity award in the form of PSUs. PSUs, and 50% of his or her annual equity award in the form of RSUs. As compared to 2020, the Compensation Committee reduced the percentage of the annual equity awarded to each NEO granted in PSUs from 75% to 50%. The Compensation Committee elected to make this change to align to the Company’s standard executive equity award mix prior to 2020 following a review of the equity practices of the companies in the peer group. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined that it was reasonable to return to a mix of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs for 2021, with such mix previously supported by the Company's stockholders as evidenced by the Company's strong say-on-pay vote support in prior years.

The PSUs were split evenly between PSUs that may be earned based on the Company’s TSR relative to a peer group of broadly comparable companies in terms of industry and revenue range measured over a single three-year performance period; and PSUs that may be earned based on the Company’s year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA marginCompany generating free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021 (the “EBITDA Margin“Free Cash Flow PSUs”). The EBITDA MarginFree Cash Flow PSUs may be earned based on 20202021 performance, and then cliff vest at the end of a single three-year vesting period from the grant date to further align compensation outcomes with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee chose the free cash flow metric for 2021 rather than the EBITDA margin metric used in 2020 to diversify performance focus in 2021 and because it believed improved cash flow performance would be critical to the Company’s short- and long-term success.

Using three-year relative TSR as the performance measure for 50% of the PSUs granted to each NEO other than Ms. Vakharia is consistent with the PSUs granted toannual approach taken for the Company’s NEOs since 2015. The Company’s relative TSR is determined by comparing the change in the Company’s stock price over the three-year performance period beginning on the grant

date, taking into account any dividends paid (which are assumed to be reinvested in the stock). The change in value over the performance period is then used to calculate a TSR gain/loss percentage for the performance period. That gain/loss percentage is then compared to the TSR gain/loss percentages of the peer group companies to calculate the Company’s relative TSR percentile. The Compensation Committee believes that using relative TSR as a performance measure provides an objective measure of the Company’s performance relative to other investment alternatives similar to the Company with respect to both within the Company’s industry and in the broader market.company size/value characteristics.

The 20202021 TSR PSU awards require above-market performance, to be atwith the 60th60th percentile and 90th percentile (or greater) relative to the peer group required for target and maximum vesting, and performance to be at the 31st percentile relative to the peer group for any vesting to occur.  The maximum payout of 200% of target requires TSR performance to be at the 90th percentile or greater relative to the peer group.respectively. In addition, if the Company’s TSR is negative at the end of the three-year performance period, the 20202021 TSR PSU awards will be capped at the target payout level even if the Company significantly outperforms the peer group.

The Compensation Committee selected the 20202021 relative TSR peer group based on its review of comparability to the Company on key selection criteria including industry, revenue, market capitalization and stage/time from initial public offering.  The Compensation Committee chose the group of companies listed above because the Compensation Committee determined that those companies are most aligned with the Company when considering the key selection criteria.

 

The EBITDA MarginFree Cash Flow PSUs represent the remaining 50% of the PSUs granted to each NEO other than Ms. Vakharia for 2020.  Non-GAAP EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing2021.  Free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021 measures the cash that the Company had on hand at the end of 2021 after paying operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Company’s EBITDA by its revenue. Themanagement believed that achievement of material non-GAAP EBITDA marginfree cash flow improvement was a central goal in the Company’s extensive cost reduction initiatives undertaken during 2020. We believe that those cost reduction initiatives andmost important metric to continue driving the resulting improvement in the Company’s financial position were well received by the Company’s stockholders and the market generally, as demonstrated by the appreciation in the Company’s stock price during 2020.2021. The Company’s free cash flow performance prior to 2021 was poor. In January 2021, the Company worked with outside consultants to developdisclosed a goal of generating a range of potential year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA margin results based on 2020 actions.$90-$100M in free cash flow from continuing operations during 2021. As the vesting target for the EBITDA MarginFree Cash Flow PSUs, the Compensation Committee chose the midpoint of that potential year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA margindisclosed free cash flow generation range.  For the threshold and maximum vesting hurdles the Compensation Committee chose 90% and 112.5%115% of the year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA marginfree cash flow generation range, respectively to ensure thattie award payouts tied to a rigorous performance schedule reflecting strong year-over-year growth.improvement. The attainment of the year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA margin2021 free cash flow generation range was designed to be challenging but achievable with strong execution of the Company’s operating plan.

During 2021 the Company generated more than $115M in free cash flow from continuing operations.  Based on the above range that the Compensation Committee approved, the Free Cash Flow PSUs were earned at 200% of target and will vest at the end of a single three-year vesting period on the third anniversary of the grant date.

 

The remaining 25%50% of the annual equity award made to each NEO for 20202021 was in the form of service-based RSUs that vest 1/3 each year for three years. Ms. Vakharia was not an NEO at the time the PSUs were awarded for 2020, and thus did not receive a PSU award.  100% of her annual equity award for 2020 was in the form of service-based RSUs that vest 1/4 each year for four years.

When determining the amount of the annual equity award for Mr. Black and Mr. Poulton and Ms. Khorey for 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee chose to increase their awards from previous years based on their strong individual performance and the Company’s strong performance during 2020 along with a review of updated competitive market data from Compensia. Mr. Black’s award was increased by $1,250,000 and Mr. Poulton’s award was increased by $1,000,000. For Ms. Vakharia, her 2021 annual equity award was the first award that she received while serving as an executive officer and was determined based on a review of market data, the Company’s historical compensation practices and internal pay equity. The Compensation Committee chose to award Ms. Khorey equity in the same amounts awarded to each NEOamount she received in 2019.2020. The individual grant decisions reflect a review of quantitative market data and relevant qualitative factors including individual performance, time in role, scope and breadth of duties, and internal pay equity.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Pre-2020Pre-2021 Equity Award Vesting Results

The Company granted certain performance-based equity awards prior to 20202021 that vest, based in part, on the Company’s 20202021 performance. In 2017,2018, the Company granted PSUs to the then-serving NEOs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR over a single three-year performance period. The awards required the Company’s TSR relative to the peer group to be at the 3531thst percentile for any vesting to occur, and TSR relative to the peer group to be at the 6560th percentile for target vesting. The Company’s TSR for the three-year performance period ended March 6, 2020February 27, 2021 was -31.03%-18.18%, which placed the Company at the 918th percentile relative to the peer group. That performancegroup, which was below the threshold required for any vesting to occur and therefore no portion of the awards vested at the end of the performance period.  

SeparationConsulting Agreement for Mr. Oliswith Ms. Khorey

In connection with Mr. Olis’ departure in March 2020,Effective August 5, 2021, the Company and Ms. Khorey entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Olis.an amendment (the “Amendment”) to her employment agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, during a transition period from August 5, 2021 through March 4, 2022, Ms. Khorey would cease to serve as an executive officer, and instead assume the role of Executive Consultant to the Company on a part-time basis. If the Company did not elect to renew her employment upon the expiration of the transition period, such nonrenewal would constitute a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in Ms. Khorey’s employment agreement), and Ms. Khorey would be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the terms of the separation agreement, termination of his employment agreement. During the transition period, Ms. Khorey was treated asnot eligible for a termination without causeperformance bonus for calendar year 2021 and her base salary was reduced to $103,400 per annum, except that her base salary in effect prior to the Amendment would apply for purposes of calculatingdetermining any severance benefits payable following the termination of her employment. The Company did not elect to renew Ms. Khorey’s employment following the transition period and her employment with the Company ended on March 4, 2022. At this time, Ms. Khorey became entitled to receive separation benefits under Mr. Olis’ employment agreement. This entitled Mr. Olis to (i) cash payments consistingconsistent with a termination by the Company without cause. Please see the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change of one times annual salary plus target bonus paid over twelve months, (ii) one yearControl” for a description of continued healththe benefits and (iii) partial accelerated vesting of equity awards, which consists of vesting of any equity awards that would vest during the next year plus a pro rata amount for the current vesting period through the date of termination, subject to satisfaction of any applicable performance conditions.will be received by Ms. Khorey.

Benefits and Perquisites

Each of the NEOs participates in the health and welfare benefit plans and fringe benefit programs generally available to all other Company employees. Beyond this, the Company generally does not provide the NEOs with significant perquisites and personal benefits in excess of $10,000. Under certain circumstances, however, the Compensation Committee recognizes that special arrangements may be necessary or desirable. The total perquisites provided to each NEO are described in the “2020“2021 All Other Compensation” table included below.

Severance Arrangements in Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into severance arrangements as a component of the employment agreements with certain members of its senior management team, including the NEOs other than Ms. Vakharia. These severance arrangements provide for payments and other benefits if the officer’s employment terminates for a qualifying event or

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

circumstance, such as being terminated without “Cause” or leaving employment for “Constructive Discharge,” as these terms are defined in the employment agreements. A termination following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the employment agreements) generally results in the NEOs receiving additional compensation under the employment agreements.

The Company has eliminated single trigger change of control benefits and tax gross-up payments on change of control benefits. Any change of control benefit is “double trigger,” requiring termination of employment under all circumstances, including a situation where the officer is not offered a “Comparable Job” (as defined in each employment agreement) in connection with a “Change of Control,” and the officer terminates employment within 10 days after the “Change of Control.” Additional information regarding the above-referenced employment agreements, including a quantification of benefits that would have been received by each of the NEOs had termination or change of control occurred on December 31, 2020,2021, is found under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” section below.

The Compensation Committee believes that these severance and change of control arrangements are an important part of overall compensation for the NEOs, because these arrangements help to secure the continued employment and dedication of the NEOs, notwithstanding any concern that they might have at such time regarding their own continued employment, prior to or following a change of control. The Compensation Committee also believes that these arrangements are important as a recruitment and retention device, as many of the companies with which the Company competes for executive talent have similar arrangements in place for their senior employees.

Stock Ownership Requirements

The Board has approved stock ownership requirements for the Company’s non-employee directors and for certain executives of the Company, including each of the NEOs. The CEO is required to maintain an ownership level with a fair market value equal to six times (6x) his base salary, while the other NEOs are required to maintain an ownership level with a fair market value equal to two times (2x) his or her respective base salary. The initial measurement date is five years from the date on which the NEO became subject to the guidelines. Common stock owned outright, service-based awards outstanding, and deferred stock units are included when determining the ownership level. Stock options and performance-based awards are excluded. If the stock ownership requirement is not met after five

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 37


Compensation Discussion and Analysis

years, the NEO will be required to retain shares equal in value to no less than half of the after-tax value of shares vesting from any equity award until the stock ownership requirement is satisfied. The stock ownership requirement for the Company’s non-employee directors is five times (5x) the annual cash retainer then paid to each such director, with no specific period for achievement.

 

Management Transition

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc Since January 1, 2021, we have experienced a number of senior leadership changes and also completed the sale of our Hospitals and Large Physician Practices business segment on May 2, 2022. The following summarizes the compensation decisions made with respect to the NEOs:

Richard Poulton.

Amounts reported in this column for Mr. Poulton and Ms. Vakharia represent additional bonuses paid to such NEOs based on their performance in 2020.

(2)

The amounts in this column represent equity awards granted under the 2011 and 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. The amounts reported are valued based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, with awards subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions calculated based on the probable achievement of such vesting conditions at the time of grant.  In the first quarter of 2020,2021, all current NEOs with the exception of Tejal Vakharia who was not a an executive officer until June of 2020 and Mr. Olis who separated from the Company in March 2020, were provided 37.5%25% of their equity award opportunity in PSUs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR compared to a peer group of companies over a single three-year performance period and 37.5%25% of their equity award opportunity in PSUs that vest based on the Company’s year-end 2020 non-GAAP EBITDA margin.2021 free cash flow from continuing operations. The grant date value for the EBITDA marginfree cash flow PSUs was $8.19$15.16 per share. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved for the EBITDA marginfree cash flow PSUs, the maximum value of such PSUs would be as follows: Mr. Black $3,750,004,$3,125,000, Mr. Poulton $3,000,013,$2,500,000, Ms. Vakharia $500,000, and Ms. Khorey $1,500,014.$1,000,000. The grant date fair value for the relative TSR PSUs was $9.98$17.19 per share. The grant date fair values of the PSUs that vest based on the Company’s relative TSR were calculated based on the application of a Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted averages of the assumptions used during the first quarter of 20202021 were: risk-free interest rate of 1.14%0.26%; no dividend yield; and expected volatility using the historical volatility over the most recent three-year period for the peer group and implied volatility at 43.75%46.99%. In calculating the fair market value, three years was used to be commensurate with the three-year performance period of the awards. The interest rate is equal to the yield, as of the measurement date, of the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill that is commensurate with the overall performance period. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the vesting conditions related

Executive Compensation

to the 20202021 relative TSR PSUs are considered market conditions and not performance conditions. Accordingly, there is no grant date fair value below or in excess of the amount reflected in the table above for the relative TSR PSUs that could be calculated and disclosed based on achievement of market conditions. The grant date fair value of the PSUs does not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by an NEO with respect to the award, which may be higher or lower based on a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, the performance of the companies in the peer group, stock price fluctuations and applicable vesting. The amount also includes the grant date fair value of service-based RSU awards. The service-based awards granted to all current NEOs not including Ms. Vakharia or Mr. Olis, in the first quarter of 20202021 was $8.19 per share. Tejal Vakharia was granted service based awards in Q2 2020 and Q3 2020 with prices of $6.19 and $8.98, respectively. The service-based awards were calculated based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the

Executive Compensation

Payments Made Upon Termination

The employment agreements for each NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) provide for payments of certain benefits, as described above, upon the termination of employment. Each NEO’s rights upon a termination of his or her employment depend upon the circumstances of his or her termination. Central to an understanding of the rights of each NEO under the employment agreements is an understanding of the definitions of “Cause” and “Constructive Discharge” that are used in those agreements. For purposes of the employment agreements with each of the NEOs:

The Company has “Cause” to terminate an NEO for such NEO’s: (i) willful or grossly negligent failure to perform duties; (ii) violation of law that is materially injurious to the operations or reputation of the Company; (iii) conviction of a crime involving the Company’s property or constituting a felony or involving fraud or moral turpitude; or (iv) material violation of a general Company policy or refusal to follow lawful directions of the Board.

A “Constructive Discharge” under each of the employment agreements generally means: (i) a failure of the Company to meet its obligations, in any material respect, under the employment agreement, including, without limitation, a reduction of or failure to pay base salary; (ii) a material diminution in or other substantial adverse alteration in the nature or scope of an NEO’s responsibilities; or (iii) the relocation by more than fifty miles of an NEO’s principal place of business.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc 43


Executive Compensation

The employment agreements require, as a precondition to the receipt of these payments, that the NEO sign a standard form of release of employment claims. They also include non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply for one year following such NEO’s termination of employment and a confidentiality provision.

Payment Obligations for Termination by the Company with Cause or upon Death or Disability or by the NEO Without Constructive Discharge

If an NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) is terminated by the Company for Cause or as a result of such NEO’s death or disability (as defined in the respective employment agreement), or if an NEO terminates his or her employment without Constructive Discharge, he or she is entitled to receive:

Accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination;

Earned but unpaid annual cash incentive compensation in respect of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs; and

As provided in the award agreements governing the PSUs granted to such NEOs in 2015, 2016, 2017, 20182019, 2020 and 2019,2021, accelerated vesting of such awards at 100% of target level in the case of a termination due to such NEO’s death or disability.

Payment Obligations for Termination by the Company Without Cause or Due to Constructive Discharge

If an NEO (other than Ms. Vakharia) is terminated by the Company without Cause or an NEO terminates his or her employment for Constructive Discharge (except during the two-year period following a change of control), he or she is entitled to receive:

Accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination;

Earned but unpaid annual cash incentive compensation in respect of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (as determined and payable had there been no termination);

Severance equal to 1x the sum of base salary plus target cash incentive bonus opportunity, with such severance to be paid in 12 equal monthly installments or, in the case of Mr. Black and Mr. Poulton, severance equal to 2x the sum of base salary plus target cash incentive bonus opportunity, with such severance to be paid in 24 equal monthly installments;

Continuation of health benefits, if applicable, for 12 months or, in the case of Mr. Black and Mr. Poulton, for 24 months; and

Pro-rata vesting of any unvested stock option or stock awards equal to (i) the number of shares of such award that would vest on the normal vesting date, but prorated to reflect such NEO’s period of service since the last regular vesting date (or grant date if termination occurs prior to the regular vesting of any shares subject to the award);

and (ii) one additional year of vesting; provided, however, that for performance-based awards, vesting will be subject to the satisfaction of, and based on the level of performance achieved of, performance conditions; provided, further, that the vesting of RSU awards do not accelerate upon the executive’s termination of employment due to a constructive discharge.

As noted above, in connection with the satisfaction of, and based on the level of performance achieved of, performance conditions; provided, further, that the vesting of RSU awards, other than the RSU awards granted to2022 management transition, Mr. Black do not acceleratewill receive severance under the terms of his existing employment agreement for a termination without cause. Please see the table below for the severance and equity vesting, calculated as of December 31, 2021, payable upon the executive’sa termination of Mr. Black’s employment due to a constructive discharge.without cause.

Payment Obligations Upon Resignation Due to No Comparable Job Following a Change of Control

Pursuant to the employment agreementsagreement with Mr. Poulton, and Mr. Olis, if a change of control occurs and prior to such event the NEO is not offered a comparable job by the Company (or its successor), and the NEO resigns on or within ten days of the change of control, then the NEO is entitled to:

Full vesting of outstanding equity awards, with such vesting at target levels for unearned performance-based share awards; and

A lump sum payment equal to 1x the value of his base salary plus target cash incentive bonus opportunity.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Black, our Chief Executive Officer.  

We believe that the pay ratio disclosed below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.  SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and apply various assumptions and, as result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Executive Compensation

Ratio

For 2020:2021:

The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, other than Mr. Black, was $62,418.$62,216.

Mr. Black’s annual total compensation, as reported in the Total column of the 20202021 Summary Compensation Table, was $7,766,857.$10,599,964.

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Black to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is estimated to be 124170 to 1.

Identification of Median Employee

We selected December 31, 20202021 as the date on which to determine our median employee.  As of that date, we had approximately 8,5467,869 employees.  Approximately 5,1094,602 employees in the United States and 3,4373,267 employees located outside of the United States were considered for identifying the median employee.

For purposes of identifying the median employee from the employee population base, we considered base salary, bonuses, commissions and overtime for calendar year 2020.2021.  In addition, for employees that commenced employment with the Company after January 1, 2020,2021, we annualized their compensation.  

In determining the annual total compensation of the median employee, such employee’s compensation was calculated in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, as required pursuant to the SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 20202021 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee consists of six members: Elizabeth A. Altman, Mara G. Aspinall, P. Gregory Garrison, Dave B. Stevens, David D. Stevens and Carol J. Zierhoffer. All of the members are independent directors as defined in Nasdaq’s listing standards and SEC regulations.  Five of the members are “audit committee financial experts” as defined under applicable SEC rules, and two members are expert in matters related to technology, security and data storage. The Audit Committee has certain duties and powers as described in its written charter adopted by the Board. A copy of the charter can be found on the Company’s website at investor.allscripts.com. The Audit Committee met nineten times during the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for:

assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight and monitoring responsibility of reviewing the financial information that will be provided to the Company’s stockholders and others;

appointing and overseeing the services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as well as pre-approving all services and fees related thereto;

overseeing and periodically evaluating the performance and responsibilities of the Company’s internal audit department, including approving the Company’s annual internal audit plan and reviewing the results of internal audits, including management’s responses thereto;

reviewing with the Company’s management, internal audit department, and independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s critical accounting policies and its system of internal control over financial reporting; and

overseeing the risk assessments related to the Company conducted by the Company’s management.

During 2020,2021, on no less than a quarterly basis during regularly scheduled meetings, the Audit Committee met with the senior members of the Company’s financial management team. Additionally, the Audit Committee had separate executive sessions  with Grant Thornton, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as well as with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Counsel, Corporate Controller and Head of Internal Audit, at which candid discussions regarding financial management, legal, compliance, security accounting, auditing, and internal control matters took place. In addition, the Audit Committee schedules additional quarterly meetings exclusively dedicated to meeting with the Company’s Chief Compliance Counsel and Chief Security Officer to discuss the effectiveness of the Company’s compliance program and to receive status reports regarding certain compliance and risk matters, including cybersecurity. The Audit Committee’s agenda is established by the Audit Committee’s Chairman.

Throughout the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s management completed documentation, testing, and evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. No less than quarterly, the Company’s management provided updates to the Audit Committee regarding progress made to complete management’s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.2021. Management’s assessment, and Grant Thornton’s report on its audit, of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting were included in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, which was filed on February 26, 202125, 2022 with the SEC. The Audit Committee continues to oversee the Company’s efforts related to its internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s management’s preparations for the evaluation in 2021.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Audit Committee Report

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the risk assessments conducted by the Company’s management, particularly risks that could present a negative impact, prevent value creation, or erode existing value. These risk assessments include:

discussing the Company’s policies and procedures regarding risk assessment and risk management regarding certain operational risks including cybersecurity risk;

reviewing management’s assessment of risks identified in the Company’s legal and regulatory compliance programs and actions to be taken to mitigate these risks;

reviewing management’s assessment of risks related to financial reporting and actions to be taken to mitigate these risks; and

regularly reporting to the Board on its risk-related reviews and discussions and, as appropriate, recommending to the Board such actions as it deems necessary.

In fulfilling its responsibility of appointing and reviewing the services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee carefully reviews the scope of the audit, audit fees, auditor independence matters, and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be retained to perform non-audit services.

In deciding to engage Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as well as to reappoint Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021,2022, the Audit Committee took into consideration a number of factors, including the professional qualifications of Grant Thornton and its deep institutional knowledge of our business and industry, the qualifications and performance of the lead audit partner, the successor lead audit partner and other key engagement partners, which are regularly rotated in accordance with SEC rules, the quality of the Audit Committee’s ongoing discussions with the firm, and the support available to the Company from Grant Thornton’s regional and national offices.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20202021 with the Company’s management and Grant Thornton. The Audit Committee has also discussed with Grant Thornton the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Grant Thornton’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Grant Thornton its independence from the Company.

In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee does not itself prepare financial statements or perform audits, and its members are not auditors or certifiers of the Company’s financial statements. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the Company’s management, which has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for preparing the Company’s financial statements and other reports; and of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, who are engaged to audit and report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In reliance on these reviews and discussions, and the reports of Grant Thornton, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

The Company provides its stockholders with the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure includes the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” sections above). The Company believes it is appropriate to seek and take into account the views of its stockholders on the design and effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee seeks to establish and implement a compensation program for the Company’s named executive officers that emphasizes pay-for-performance, and is designed to meet the following objectives: (a) reward outstanding performance for an individual’s performance against corporate goals; (b) provide long-term incentive compensation through equity grants, a material portion of which are performance-based; (c) provide for compensation that is both competitive in the executive market and internally equitable; and (d) align the Company’s named executive officer compensation with the Company’s financial performance and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Proposals

 

 

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, the Board requests that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables), is hereby approved.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee, and will not be construed as overruling a decision by the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the opinions expressed by the Company’s stockholders in their votes on this proposal, and consider the outcome of the Company’s annual say-on-pay vote when making decisions regarding the Company’s executive compensation program. The Company’s management continues to engage in dialogue with many of the Company’s largest stockholders, and the Compensation Committee will continue to consider material stockholder feedback and the results of the Company’s say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the Company’s named executive officers.

The Company’s current policy is to provide stockholders with an opportunity to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers each year at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. It is expected that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the Company’s 20222023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve this Proposal Three.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR Proposal Three.

Other Matters

The Company knows of no matters to be submitted to the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, other than the proposals referred to in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
