What constitutes a quorum to transact business at the meeting?

Before any business may be transacted at the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. The presence at the annual meeting, by participation in the virtual meeting or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of all of our capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date will constitute a quorum. At the close of business on February 13, 2025, 100,709,106 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Proxies received but marked as withholds, abstentions, and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the annual meeting for purposes of a quorum.

If a quorum is not present or if we decide that more time is necessary for the solicitation of proxies, we may adjourn the annual meeting. We may do this with or without a stockholder vote. If the stockholders vote to adjourn the annual meeting in accordance with our Bylaws, the named proxies will vote all shares of common stock for which they have voting authority in favor of adjournment.

What is the recommendation of the board of directors?

Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote:

1. “FOR” the election of each of our 10 nominees to the board of directors;

2. “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Encompass Health’s independent registered public accounting firm;

3. “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

4. “FOR” the approval of the 2025 Omnibus Performance Incentive Plan.

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the annual meeting, the proxy holders will vote in accordance with their judgment on such matter.

#### What vote is required to approve each item?
The vote requirements for Proposals 1, 2, and 4 are as follows:

• Each nominee for director named in Proposal 1 will be elected if the votes for the nominee exceed the number of votes against with respect to such nominee. Votes cast with respect to a nominee will exclude abstentions and broker non-votes.
