| ITEM 8.01 | Other Information |
| Note Regarding Correction to Proxy Statement |
| Health | Discovery Corporation (“HDC”) has learned of an error in the proxy material published on June 21, 2013. |
Shareholders should note that the Proxy Statement mailed to shareholders and originally posted to HDC’s website contains an error on page 7 of the Proxy Statement. The second paragraph on page 7 reads as follows: “The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of these nominees as directors.”
The Proxy Statement correctly notes on pages 2 and 7 that the Board recommends a vote for the election of each director nominee listed in the Proxy Statement. The vote of the directors to approve this slate of nominees was not unanimous. Directors Joe McKenzie, John Norris and Sumio Takeichi voted in favor of this slate of directors. Mr. Eckoff voted against the proposed slate of nominees. Director Mineta did not vote on the slate as he was not present at the meeting.
Please note that you may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. For shares held directly in your name, you may accomplish this by granting a new proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. For shares held beneficially by you, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee.
The corrected version of the Proxy Statement has been posted to HDC’s website.
