(1)	Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of LHC Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Each share of phantom stock is entitled to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share of the Common Stock as of the payment date based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on such date.
(2)	The cash settlement of 1,700 shares of phantom stock is reported for purposes of Form 4 as the disposition of the phantom stock and a simultaneous acquisition and disposition of the underlying Common Stock. The phantom stock is entitled to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock as of the payment date, which was $48.52 based on the closing price of the Common Stock on March 1, 2017, the most recent trading day immediately preceding the payment date.
(3)	The phantom stock was received by Christopher Shackelton ("Shackelton") in connection with his service as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer.

("CCP2" and, together with CCP, the "Funds") is an investment limited partnership of which CC is general partner and for which CCM serves as investment adviser. Each of Shackelton, Gray, the Funds, CC and CCM disclaims beneficial ownership of the phantom stock except to the extent of that person's pecuniary interest therein.
