        <footnote id="F4">This transaction was reported on a Form 4 originally filed on October 17, 2005. Due to an inadvertent clerical error, the number of shares of phantom stock acquired and directly held by the reporting person under the Invacare Corporation Deferred Compensation Plus Plan on October 13, 2005 was incorrectly reported. This amended Form 4 is being filed solely to amend the third line of Table II of the Form 4 filed by the reporting person on October 13, 2005 to report the correct number of shares of phantom stock acquired and directly held by the reporting person under the Invacare Corporation Deferred Compensation Plus Plan on October 13, 2005.</footnote>
