Deregistration of Securities
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-132876) (as amended and supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) filed on March 31, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by HCA Inc. (the “Registrant”), and as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed November 7, 2006. The Registration Statement registered for potential offer and sale by the Registrant (a) common stock, $.01 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Registrant, including resales thereof; (b) preferred stock, $.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”), of the Registrant; (c) debt securities of the Registrant; and (d) warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or debt securities of the Registrant.
 
On November 17, 2006, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 24, 2006, between the Registrant, Hercules Holding II, LLC (“Parent”) and Hercules Acquisition Corp (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Generally, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Registrant (other than shares held in the treasury of the Registrant, shares owned by Parent immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger or shares held by shareholders who properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $51.00 in cash, without interest.
 
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant’s Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded. Accordingly, the Registrant wishes to terminate all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, any and all securities registered under the Registration Statement that have not been issued, or sold by selling shareholders if applicable, prior to the Merger.
