Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2005, HCA Inc. (the “Company”) awarded restricted shares of the Company’s common
stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of its
common stock to certain recently
appointed executive officers, pursuant to the HCA 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), as
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”).
The restricted shares will vest and become exercisable ratably in 33 1/3% increments on each
of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the shares of restricted stock will become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control
of the Company (as defined in the award agreements) or the termination of the executive by reason
of death or disability. The restricted stock awards are subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan and
the individual award agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the terms of the restricted stock awards is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2005 Plan and the individual award
agreements.
The non-qualified stock options will vest and become exercisable ratably in 25% increments on
each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. The exercise price
for the stock options is equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on
the date of grant. All of the options under the awards will become fully vested upon the occurrence
of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the award agreements) or the termination of
the executive by reason of retirement, death or disability. The non-qualified stock option awards
are subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan and the individual award agreements substantially in the
form of Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the
terms of the non-qualified stock option awards is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
