Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Ongoing acquisition of common stock from 1/1/2006 to 9/30/2006 under the HCA Employee Stock Purchase Plan and including dividend reinvestment of shares.
(2)	Disposed of in connection with the merger of Hercules Acquisition Corporation with and into the issuer, with the issuer as the surviving corporation, effective November 17, 2006, pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated July 24, 2006 among Hercules Holding, LLC, Hercules Acquisition Corporation and the issuer. The shares listed above held by the reporting person were exchanged for an equity interest in the surviving corporation. In connection with the merger, the issuer's common stock was valued at $51.00 per share.
(3)	Disposed of in connection with the merger in exchange for the right to receive $51.00 per share.
(4)	All shares held by the HCA 401(k) Plan were disposed of in connection with the merger in exchange for merger consideration of $51.00 per share, and the participant received cash in the plan equal to his or her pro rata interest in the shares held by the plan.
(5)	This option was cancelled in the merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between the exercise price of the option and the merger consideration of $51 per share, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option.
(6)	This option was assumed by the surviving corporation in the merger and replaced with a new option with an exercise price of $12.75 for that number of shares so that the difference between $51.00 and the exercise price of the old option, multiplied by the number shares subject to the old option, is equal to the difference between $51.00 and $12.75, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the new option.
(7)	The option vests in four equal annual installments beginning on 3/22/02.
(8)	On December 16, 2004, HCA announced the acceleration of vesting of all unvested options awarded to employees and officers under the HCA 2000 Equity Incentive Plan which had exercise prices greater than the closing price of HCA?s common stock on December 14, 2004 of $40.89 per share, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.
(9)	Immediately before the effective time of the merger, all unvested options became fully vested and immediately exercisable.
(10)	All options with an exercise price above the merger consideration of $51.00 per share were cancelled in the merger and no payment will be made thereon.
