Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. included the following supplement in the proxy materials sent to its shareholders on January 8, 2010. The supplement is also available on its website at http://www.dynacq.com/proxy.cfm.
SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
On January 5, 2010, Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. was notified of the death of Mr. Earl R. Votaw, a director and nominee for re-election to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Votaw was an important member of our Board of Directors, and we all will miss the valuable guidance he provided to the Company.
The Board of Directors decided on January 7, 2010 not to fill the vacancy in the Board created by the death of Mr. Votaw, but to reduce the size of the Board to six persons. As a result, all votes cast by shareholders, in person or by proxy, in the election of Mr. Votaw at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will not be counted, and no nominations for election to the Board seat previously held by Mr. Votaw will be accepted at the meeting.
Because Mr. Votaw’s death occurred immediately prior to the mailing of these proxy materials and because the Company felt it was important to provide the information contained in the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to its shareholders in a timely manner, the proxy materials have not been changed to reflect these events.
