ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
 
On November 17, 2009, HealthSouth Corporation (“HealthSouth” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase for resale to the public, $290 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.125% Senior Notes due February 15, 2020 (the “Notes”) at a public offering price of 98.327% of the principal amount. A copy of the underwriting agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The sale of the Notes is registered pursuant to a Registration Statement (No. 333-151848) on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to incorporate the underwriting agreement by reference into such Registration Statement.

The Notes are expected to be issued on December 1, 2009. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of its existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement and certain of its outstanding senior notes.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to pay the consideration required in connection with the Company’s previously announced tender offer for all of its outstanding floating rate senior notes due 2014, including any applicable accrued and unpaid interest on such notes, and redeem any floating rate senior notes due 2014 that may remain outstanding following completion of the tender offer, including the payment of any applicable accrued and unpaid interest on such notes. The Notes offering is conditioned upon the acceptance for purchase by the Company of notes tendered in the tender offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 30, 2009 and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
