Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On April 12, 2007, CheckFree Corporation (“CheckFree”) submitted an additional responsive document required by the pre-merger notification and report form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”) to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) relating to the proposed acquisition of Corillian Corporation by CheckFree. As a result, the FTC and DOJ have informed CheckFree that the HSR Act waiting period will recommence as of April 12, 2007 and expire at 11:59 p.m. on May 14, 2007, unless earlier terminated by federal antitrust authorities, or extended by a request for additional information from such authorities. In addition to the antitrust regulatory review, the proposed acquisition is subject to approval by Corillian’s shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

     CheckFree continues to anticipate that the proposed acquisition will close in the second calendar quarter of 2007 shortly following the requisite approval by Corillian’s shareholders, the expiration or termination of the antitrust waiting period and the satisfaction or waiver of all other closing conditions. However, the timing of the closing could be affected by an early termination of the antitrust waiting period or the issuance of any additional requests for information from the DOJ Antitrust Division.

     The information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K shall not be treated as “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period and anticipated closing date of the proposed acquisition. Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available as of today’s date, and there is no assumed obligation to update any of these statements. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed. For instance, although Corillian and CheckFree have signed an agreement for a subsidiary of CheckFree to merge with and into Corillian, there is no assurance that they will complete the proposed merger. The proposed merger may not occur if the companies do not receive necessary approval of Corillian’s shareholders, or if it is blocked by a governmental agency, or if either Corillian or CheckFree fail to satisfy other conditions to closing. Other risks and uncertainties to which CheckFree is subject are discussed in its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the caption Risk Factors and elsewhere, including, without limitation, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 (filed September 8, 2006), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 (filed November 8, 2006), and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 (filed February 8, 2007). One or more of these factors have affected, and could affect CheckFree’s business and financial results in future periods, and could cause actual results and issues related to the merger transaction to differ materially from plans and projections. Any forward-looking statement is qualified by reference to these risks, uncertainties and factors. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the documents in which they are made. These risks, uncertainties and factors are not exclusive, and CheckFree undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release, except as required by law.
