Additionally, the third paragraph should begin with the sentence "Holders still have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time today, Dec. 22, 2005, the consent payment deadline, to tender and receive the total consideration, which includes the consent payment." Complete, corrected release follows: ATLANTA, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NDCHealth Corporation (NYSE:NDC) announced today the results to date of the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for its $200 million outstanding of 10-1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2012. As of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Dec. 21, 2005, the company received valid tenders and consents from holders of $122.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 61.3% of the outstanding Notes. Accordingly, the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes, including shortening the redemption notification period from 30 days to three days, have been received, and a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated December 9, 2005 has been executed. Adoption of the proposed amendments required the consent of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. As the company has executed the supplemental indenture, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn and consents delivered may no longer be revoked, except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. However, the amendments will not become operative until the Notes are accepted for payment pursuant to the terms of the tender offer. Holders still have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time today, Dec. 22, 2005, the consent payment deadline, to tender and receive the total consideration, which includes the consent payment. The tender offer remains open and is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, January 9, 2006, unless extended. The completion of the tender offer and consent solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the company of a number of conditions, as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.
