Encompass Health Files Lawsuit Against Former Executive April Anthony for Breach of Non-Compete and Non-Solicit Agreements BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 26, 2021

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Encompass Health Corp. (NYSE: EHC) today filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against former executive April Anthony in state District Court in Dallas County, Texas for breach of her employment agreement with Encompass Health, including breach of non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, and for misappropriation of trade secrets.

The Company acted after recently learning from multiple sources that Ms. Anthony met in secret with employees, including senior executives, to encourage them to leave the Company to join a competing venture. These efforts began before Ms. Anthony left the Company's employment and continued thereafter. Ms. Anthony took extraordinary steps to hide her activities, which were in direct violation of her contractual and other legal obligations.
