Brooks:

Your question on dilution is the right one. As for "giving away too much" I'll know more after the conference call.

The warrants which vest in 60 days have a current value of $15 million, so this is the immediate cost to CKFR of doing this deal. Obviously Kite sees the market opportunity as worth far more than that. I hope the performance targets linked to vesting of the other 7 million shares are very aggressive.

Charlie so I'm on target here....

Checkfree has 54.7MM shares outstanding..per Yahoo.

Now Checkfree has offered 3 Million shares up front to Integrion at $20.94ea. And up to 7 Million more....based on performance tragets.

So within 60 day Integrion is gonna cut a check to Checkfree for $62,820,000....thereby picking up a little over 5% of the Corporation Checkfree.....which in effect dilutes us all as current owners by a factor of 0.948.

At todays price of $29....Integrion is getting a $24 Million discount...in exchange Checkfree get Integrions' back-end business.

What are the other vesting targets....for Integrion to get the additional 7 Million shares? Is it 15% of US households?
