On August 12, 2013, Glenview Capital Management, L.P. (Glenview) delivered written consents from stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Health Management Associates, Inc. (the Company), voting to enact all of the proposals set forth in Glenviews consent solicitation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on July 16, 2013 (the Glenview Consent Solicitation).

The following members of the Board of Directors have been removed: William J. Schoen; Kent P. Dauten; Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D.; Donald E. Kiernan; Robert A. Knox; Vicki A. OMeara; William C. Steere, Jr.; and Randolph W. Westerfield, Ph.D. As previously disclosed, Gary D. Newsome retired as a director effective July 31, 2013.
The following eight directors have been elected to the Board of Directors to fill the resulting vacancies on the Board of Directors: Mary Taylor Behrens; Steven Epstein; Kirk Gorman; Stephen Guillard; John McCarty; JoAnn Reed; Steven Shulman (Chair); and Peter Urbanowicz (the New Directors). Biographical information for the New Directors provided in the Glenview Consent Solicitation is included on Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Company expects the Board committees to be as follows: Audit Committee: John McCarty (Chair), Kirk Gorman and Stephen Guillard; Compensation Committee: Mary Taylor Behrens (Chair), Steven Epstein, Kirk Gorman and JoAnn Reed; Governance Committee: JoAnn Reed (Chair), Mary Taylor Behrens, and Peter Urbanowicz; and Compliance and Quality Committee: Steven Epstein (Chair), Stephen Guillard, John McCarty and Peter Urbanowicz. None of the New Directors have reportable transactions under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The Companys stockholders also consented to amend the Companys By-laws, as amended and restated, (the Bylaws) as set forth below:
| Section 6 of Article II of the Bylaws was amended to provide that the advance notice and information requirements associated with nominations of directors to the Board do not apply to the election of directors through action by written consent or at a special meeting. |
| Section 2 of Article III of the Bylaws was amended to provide that any vacancies on the Board may be filled by the stockholders and those vacancies resulting from a removal of directors by the stockholders shall be filled only by the stockholders. |
The above summary of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, as amended and restated, effective August 12, 2013, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On August 12, 2013, Glenview delivered to the Company the requisite written consents from stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company voting to effect the proposals identified below. As a result, each of the following proposals was approved. Brokers did not have discretionary authority on any of the proposals and, as a result, there could be no broker non-votes.
Proposal 1: Repeal any amendment or modification by the Board of the Bylaws made after December 7, 2010 and on or prior to the effectiveness of the Glenview Consent Solicitation.
