EXPLANATORY NOTE

Amedisys, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K, which was originally filed on June 10, 2011 (the “Original 8-K”), to update disclosures made under Item 5.07 regarding the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of future stockholder votes on executive compensation. Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original 8-K in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.

Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on June 9, 2011, the Company’s stockholders cast the highest number of votes for voting “every year,” compared to “every two years” or “every three years,” with regard to the advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of future stockholder votes on executive compensation. Based on these results and consistent with the previous recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board determined at its meeting held on June 23, 2011, that the Company will hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay vote”) on an annual basis until the next required advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes occurs.
