Transaction executed by the error correction section of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPFS"), a broker-dealer and subsidiary of BAC, to correct errors made in connection with agency brokerage trades made on behalf of clients of MLPFS. As of the date of this transaction, ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P., now BAML Capital Partners, ("MLGPELP Fund") may have been deemed to indirectly own a portion of these shares of the Issuer's common stock by virtue of the membership interests it held in Hercules Holding II, LLC ("Hercules"). As reported on a Form 4 filed on September 19, 2011, MLGPELP Fund has agreed to sell all of its shares of common stock of the Issuer pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, by and among MLGPELP Fund, ML HCA Co-Invest, L.P. ("ML HCA Co-Invest LP") and HCA Holdings, Inc. dated as of September 15, 2011 (the "Share Repurchase Agreement", and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the "Share Repurchase").

Frist, Jr. BAC, through its affiliates, may be deemed to be a member of a group exercising voting and investment control over the shares of the Issuer's common stock held by Hercules. As reported on a Form 4 filed on September 19, 2011, following the closing of the Share Repurchase, neither MLGPELP Fund nor ML HCA Co-Invest LP will hold any membership interests in Hercules. Each of BAC and its affiliates disclaims membership in any such group and disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. The filing of this statement shall not be deemed an admission that, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise, BAC is the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. As of the date of this transaction, MLGPELP Fund, ML HCA Co-Invest LP, ML Ventures LP and certain of their permitted transferees collectively had the right under Hercules's limited liability company agreement to nominate up to three directors of the Issuer. Effective upon closing of the Share Repurchase, all three of the designees nominated by MLGPELP Fund, ML Ventures LP and ML HCA Co-Invest that are currently on the board of the Issuer will resign and none of MLGPELP Fund, ML Ventures LP, ML HCA Co-Invest or any of their affiliates will have the right thereafter to nominate a director of the Issuer. Each of BAC and its other affiliates hereby disclaims its possible status as a director of the Issuer. In connection with this transaction, BAC has agreed to voluntarily remit appropriate profits, if any, to the Issuer. BAC disclaims that such transaction is subject to reporting under Section 16(a) or disgorgement under Section 16(b), and this report shall not be deemed an admission that those sections apply to such transaction. /s/ Margaret E.
