As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2013 (the “November 13
Form 8-K”), HealthSouth Corporation (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) under which it agreed to exchange 257,110 shares of the Company’s outstanding 6.50% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for $320 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued 2.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2043 (the “Convertible Notes”).
On November 18, 2013, the Company closed these exchange transactions and entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, paying agent, conversion agent, and registrar (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the Convertible Notes were issued.
Following these exchange transactions, 96,245 shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
The Company issued the Convertible Notes to certain holders of the Preferred Stock, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Shares of the Company’s common stock, into which the Convertible Notes are convertible, have been reserved for issuance by the Company and will be listed, subject to official notice of issuance, on The New York Stock Exchange.

The Convertible Notes and the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Descriptions of the Convertible Notes, the Indenture, and the Exchange Agreements are set forth in Item 1.01 of the November 13 Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions and the descriptions otherwise herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture and the form of the Convertible Note, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated by reference herein, and the form of Exchange Agreement, which was previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the November 13 Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
