SAN DIEGO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by members of the Board of Directors of Eclipsys Corporation ("Eclipsys" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ECLP) in connection with their actions in causing Eclipsys to enter into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. ("Allscripts") (NASDAQ: MDRX). If the transaction is completed, Eclipsys shareholders will receive 1.2 shares of Allscripts stock for each share of Eclipsys they hold. If approved, the transaction is expected to be completed in the next four to six months.

Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the Board of Directors of Eclipsys undertook a fair process to obtain fair consideration for all shareholders of Eclipsys. The Company stated that its diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 were $0.19, easily beating several analyst estimates. Additionally, the Company was recently upgraded to "Outperform" by at least one analyst.
