CheckFree Offers Stock Option Exchange Program to Eligible Employees

Tuesday June 17, 8:41 am ET

ATLANTA, June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CheckFree Corporation (Nasdaq: CKFR - News) today announced a voluntary program that gives eligible employees the opportunity to exchange stock options for fewer restricted shares of CheckFree common stock that vest over three years, or in some cases, cash. The program is intended to reduce the number of outstanding stock options, while increasing long-term employee retention. The Company's directors, including the chief executive officer, are not eligible to participate in the program.

"The goal of this program is to balance an appropriate incentive to retain valued employees with our responsibility for prudence on behalf of our shareholders," said Pete Kight, chairman and chief executive officer. "The resulting reduction in outstanding stock options will allow us to continue to provide employee incentive programs without increasing overall dilution to shareholders. . ."
