Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 18, 2015, the Board of Directors of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective the same date, to add a new Article IX thereto providing that, unless the Board, on behalf of the Company, consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Delaware or, if no court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court's having personal jurisdiction over all indispensable parties named as defendants.
The intent of the amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws is to avoid excessive costs and inefficiencies that the Company may incur from time to time from multijurisdictional litigation of the type described in Article IX of the Amended and Restated By-Laws (also set forth above).
On August 18, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, effective the same date, to delete certain obsolete provisions which were instituted in connection with the Company's merger with Eclipsys Corporation in 2010 that are no longer in effect.
A copy of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended, is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A marked version of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended, is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
