Election of Directors.
On January 25, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of HealthSouth Corporation (the “Corporation”), unanimously approved an increase in the number of directors of the Corporation to eleven, effective immediately, and, upon the recommendation of its Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, unanimously approved the appointment of Ms. Leslye G. Katz and Ms. Joan E. Herman as directors to fill the vacant seats, effective immediately. No committee assignments have been determined at this time. The Board found both Ms. Katz and Ms. Herman to be independent for purposes of the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange and the Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Ms. Katz and Ms. Herman will be compensated for their board service in accordance with the standard compensation practices for non−employee directors, which are more fully described in the “Corporate Governance and Board Structure - Compensation of Directors” section of the Corporation's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2012.
There are no arrangements or understandings between either Ms. Katz or Ms. Herman and any other person pursuant to which either was selected to serve as a director of the Corporation, nor is either a participant in any related party transactions required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S−K.
On January 28, 2013, the Corporation issued a press release, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing Ms. Katz's and Ms. Herman's appointments to the Corporation's Board.
