The Plan is a non-qualified deferral plan adopted and approved by the Board of Directors, effective November 1, 2007, allowing non-employee directors to make elections during 2013 to defer fixed percentages of their directors fees for 2014. The amount each participant defers under the Plan is deducted, on a quarterly basis, from the directors fees the participant would otherwise have received in cash. The transaction reported on this Form 4 is the acquisition of common stock of the Company in the market for the account of the reporting person, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount of fees deferred by the reporting person for the current quarter of 2014 under the Plan. Pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit award agreements, additional restricted stock units ("RSUs") are credited to each non-employee director's account on common stock dividend payment dates. The number of RSUs credited is equal to (a) the product of (i) the number of the RSUs in each director's account on the associated dividend record date and (ii) the per share dividend, divided by (b) the closing price on the dividend payment date. On October 15, 2014 HealthSouth paid a dividend on its common stock of $0.21 per share. The transaction reported on this Form 4 is an award of RSUs associated with that dividend payment. /s/ John P.
