INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 4 to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or “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 (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (i) Emdeon Inc. (“Emdeon,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Emdeon Class A common stock”), that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P. (“Sponsor”), a Delaware limited partnership; (iii) Blackstone Management Associates VI L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability Company, (iv) Beagle Parent Corp. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation; (v) Beagle Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; (vi) Hellman & Friedman LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (vii) H&F Harrington AIV II, L.P. (“H&F Harrington”), a Delaware limited partnership; (viii) HFCP VI Domestic AIV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“HFCP Domestic”); (ix) Hellman & Friedman Capital Executives VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“H&F Capital Executives”); (x) Hellman & Friedman Capital Associates VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“H&F Capital Associates”); and (xi) Hellman & Friedman Investors VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“H&F GP” and, collectively with HFCP Domestic, H&F Capital Executives and H&F Capital Associates, the “H&F Unitholders” and, collectively with the other H&F Unitholders and H&F Harrington, the “H&F Equityholders”).

The Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”), dated August 3, 2011, which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Sponsor. On September 29, 2011, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) at which the stockholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve certain items of compensation that are based on or otherwise related to the merger and are payable to certain named executive officers of the Company under agreements with the Company (the “golden parachute compensation”). The adoption of the merger agreement will require the affirmative vote of stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Emdeon Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Emdeon Class B common stock”) outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting, with such shares voted as a single class. A copy of the Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Emdeon Class A common stock (including each share of Emdeon Class A common stock resulting from the exchange of units of membership interests (“EBS Units”) in EBS Master LLC (“EBS Master,” which is a subsidiary of the Company) and corresponding shares of Emdeon Class B common stock contemplated by the merger agreement), other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $19.00 in cash (the “per share merger consideration”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. The following shares of Emdeon Class A common stock will not be converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in connection with the merger: (i) shares of Emdeon Class A common stock owned by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) shares of Emdeon Class A common stock owned by Parent and its subsidiaries, including such shares contributed to Parent by H&F Harrington pursuant to the rollover commitment letter under which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, H&F Harrington has committed to contribute to Parent the amount of shares of Emdeon Class A common stock set forth therein, and (iii) shares of Emdeon Class A common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the Company’s stockholders, and the merger will not be completed until the expiration of a marketing period for Parent’s debt financing. H&F Harrington has committed to contribute approximately 50% of its shares of Emdeon Class A common stock at the closing of the merger to Parent in exchange for a pro rata share of the equity of Parent based on a value for each share of Emdeon Class A common stock so contributed of $19.00. The H&F Unitholders have committed to sell approximately 50% of their EBS Units at the closing of the merger to EBS Holdco II, LLC (which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will be, immediately following the merger, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent) in exchange for a pro rata share of the equity of Parent based on a value for each EBS Unit so contributed of $19.00. Immediately following the merger, Sponsor will own approximately 72.5% of Parent and the H&F Equityholders will collectively own approximately 27.5% of Parent. These ownership percentages are subject to change as a result of each of Sponsor’s and the H&F Equityholders’ respective equity commitments being reduced by any amounts syndicated to third parties at or prior to the merger.
