This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of HealthSouth Corporation (the “Company”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2011 (the “Initial Filing”). The sole purpose for filing this Form 8-K/A is to disclose the Company’s determination with respect to the frequency of future stockholder non-binding advisory votes on the executive compensation of the Company (each, a “say-on-pay vote”). No other changes have been made to the Initial Filing.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 5, 2011, the Company held its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and as previously disclosed, the majority of stockholders, in an advisory vote, favored an annual say-on-pay vote. In light of the stockholder vote, which was consistent with the original recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Board determined at its meeting held on July 20, 2011, that the Company will hold a say-on-pay vote on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of such votes occurs or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company. The next required advisory vote on the frequency will occur no later than 2017.
