Explanation of Responses:
(1) Represented by deferred "stock units" (phantom stock) credited under the Per-Se Technologies, Inc. Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the "Plan"). The stock units are to be settled in Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis, in one installment as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which the Reporting Person ceases to be an employee of the Issuer, with any fractional shares payable in cash.
(2) Reflects deferral under the Plan and conversion into stock units of $57,500 (50% of the Reporting Person's 2002 annual bonus compensation otherwise payable in 2003).
(3) Average closing price of the Common Stock for the five business days prior to April 4, 2003, the date on which the stock units were credited to the Reporting Person's account under the Plan.
(4) Reflects an enhancement bonus under the Plan equal to $0.25 for each dollar of 2002 annual bonus compensation deferred by the Reporting Person under the Plan, resulting in a 25% match of the Reporting Person's 2002 deferral amount. Enhancement bonus stock units vest at a rate of 20% each year over a period of 5 years; however, such units are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, as described in the Plan. If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated for "cause" or if he resigns without "good reason" (in each case as defined in the Plan) before these stock units are vested, he will forfeit any such unvested stock units.
