Explanation of Responses:
1. On April 1, 2008, the reporting person was granted 1,212 shares of nonvested common stock. Assuming that the reporting is employed by Amedisys, Inc. on each of the following dates, the shares shall vest in equal 1/3 increments on April 1, 2009, April 1, 2010 and April 1, 2011.
2. Includes 93 shares acquired under Amedisys, Inc.'s 401(k) plan since the date of the reporting person's last ownership report.
3. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Amedisys, Inc. common stock.
4. Assuming that the reporting person is employed by Amedisys, Inc. on each of the following dates, the Restricted Stock Units vest in three equal installments on April 1, 2009, April 1, 2010 and April 1, 2011. Vested Shares of common stock will not be delivered to the reporting person until April 1, 2013.
5. The awards to the reporting person of nonvested common stock and Restricted Stock Units reflected in the previously filed Form 4 (filed on April 3, 2008) were subject to shareholder approval of a new 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. As a result, the effective date of such awards for purposes of this Form 4 is the date of shareholder approval of the plan, June 5, 2008, and the previously filed Form 4 is therefore being amended hereby to reflect a transaction date of June 5, 2008.
