ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

On September 29, 2011, the Board of Directors of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. (which together with its affiliates is identified as the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our,” unless otherwise stated or indicated by context) approved the closure of the Dallas hospital (the Garland facility) included in our U.S. division, effective September 30, 2011. The Garland facility has experienced decreases in net patient revenues and number of cases, generally attributable to the loss of physicians from our medical staffs and to other circumstances beyond our control. The opening of a new hospital near our Garland facility has had a direct adverse impact on our ability to retain members of the medical staff at that facility and consequently on our patient volume. The Garland facility was operating at a loss, and the Board of Directors believes that ceasing operations of the facility at this time is in the Company’s best interest. We do not expect to incur any material costs associated with termination of employment of the affected employees beyond accrued obligations for salary and benefits. The Board of Directors and management have not yet determined an estimate of any other costs associated with the cessation of operations. However, the ongoing losses incurred will be reduced due to the closing of the facility.
