Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 1, 2011, HealthSouth Corporation (the “Company”) completed its previously announced redemption of the remaining $164.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 10.75% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) pursuant to the indenture, dated as of June 14, 2006 (the “2016 Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and the Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee. The total consideration paid in connection with the redemption, $174.5 million, represented 105.375% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes so redeemed, not including accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon the redemption of the outstanding 2016 Notes, the 2016 Indenture, which governed the terms of the 2016 Notes, was satisfied and discharged as of September 1, 2011.

The description of the provisions of the 2016 Indenture is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the definitive agreement. A copy of the 2016 Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2006.

On September 1, 2011, the Company issued a press release, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1, announcing it had completed the previously announced redemption and retirement of all 2016 Notes outstanding.

The Company also announced that effective August 5, 2011 the annual interest rate currently applicable to its revolving credit facility and its $100 million term loan decreased by 0.25% per year. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (defined below), the spread above the applicable base rate (currently LIBOR) decreased from 2.50%  to 2.25% as a result of the reduction in the leverage ratio calculated under the terms of the Credit Agreement and based on the most recently filed quarterly financial statements.
