Explanation of Responses:
1. The shares awarded are subject to service-based vesting conditions and will vest in equal, one-third increments on each of April 1, 2014, April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016, provided that the reporting person remains employed by the issuer on each such date.
2. Includes 282 shares acquired by the reporting person under the Amedisys, Inc. 401(k) Plan since the date of the reporting person's last report.
3. Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of Amedisys, Inc. (the "Company") common stock with vesting conditions based on the Company's compound total shareholder return (TSR) over defined measurement periods. The number of shares of Company common stock earned upon vesting of the RSUs will (i) depend on (a) the actual compound TSR achieved and (b) the applicable measurement period and (ii) will range from 17% to 160% of the number of RSUs reported in Column 5 of Table II, assuming the reporting person remains continuously employed by the Company through the vesting date.
