INTRODUCTION

          This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (“WebMD”), and HLTH Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HLTH”). HLTH is the parent company of WebMD, currently owning approximately 84% of the combined issued and outstanding Common Stock of WebMD through its ownership of all outstanding shares of WebMD Class B Common Stock. HLTH Common Stock and WebMD Class A Common Stock are both publicly traded and listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The holders of WebMD Class A Common Stock currently hold approximately 16% of WebMD’s combined issued and outstanding Common Stock, but have approximately 3.8% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares because the WebMD Class B Common Stock has five votes per share, while the WebMD Class A Common Stock has one vote per share. WebMD and HLTH are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Filing Persons” of this Transaction Statement.

          This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 20, 2008, as amended by those certain amendments to the agreement and plan of merger, dated May 6, 2008 and September 12, 2008, between WebMD and HLTH (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, HLTH will merge into WebMD, with WebMD continuing as the surviving company. Although HLTH is the parent company of, and controls WebMD, HLTH is considered the “subject company” for purposes of this Schedule 13E-3 because its equity securities are the ones being converted in the merger and, accordingly, would no longer be outstanding following the merger. The WebMD Board of Directors appointed a special committee, comprised of independent members of the WebMD Board of Directors who are not on the HLTH Board of Directors, to consider and negotiate the terms of the merger on behalf of the holders of WebMD Class A Common Stock.

          In connection with the merger, WebMD’s Class B Common Stock will cease to be outstanding and WebMD’s certificate of incorporation will be amended and restated to eliminate the dual class structure of its shares. In addition, each outstanding share of HLTH Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.1979 shares of WebMD Common Stock and $6.63 in cash, subject to increase to a maximum of $6.89 depending on whether HLTH sells certain auction rate securities that it owns before the completion of the merger and, if so, the amount of the proceeds that it receives. If HLTH’s Porex business has not been sold at the time the merger occurs, WebMD may issue up to $250.0 million in 11% pay-in-kind redeemable subordinated notes (the “Merger Notes”) to the HLTH stockholders in lieu of a portion of the cash consideration that otherwise would be payable in the merger. The Merger Notes would be subject to mandatory redemption by WebMD from the proceeds of the divestiture of the Porex business. The redemption price would be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of the redemption.

          If the merger is completed, holders of WebMD Class A Common Stock immediately before the merger will hold approximately 20% of WebMD’s issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately following the merger (based on shares outstanding as of October 8, 2008) and will also have approximately 20% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding WebMD Common Stock, since there will no longer be a dual class structure. The remaining shares of WebMD Common Stock will be owned following the merger by holders of HLTH Common Stock immediately prior to the merger.

          Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, WebMD and HLTH are filing with the SEC Amendment No. 1 to a joint proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of WebMD and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of HLTH, each to be held on December 5, 2008. At the respective Annual Meetings, the stockholders of WebMD and HLTH will each be asked to consider and vote on, among other proposals, a proposal seeking adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement, including the merger.
