        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit award agreements, additional restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) are credited to each non-employee director's account in connection with common stock dividend payments. 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 April 18, 2022, Encompass Health paid a dividend on its common stock of $0.28 per share and the closing price was $71.41. The transaction reported on this Form 4 is an award of RSUs associated with that dividend payment.</footnote>
