DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Matria Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company") previously registered 3,250,000
shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share,
together with associated common stock purchase rights (the "Common Stock"), on a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-02283) (the "Form S-8")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 1996. The Shares
were registered for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Matria Healthcare,
Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Because the Board of Directors has
reserved an aggregate of only 1,000,000 of the 3,250,000 Shares for issuance
under the Plan, and does not intend to reserve any additional shares for such
issuance, this Post-effective Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-8 is being filed in
order to deregister the remaining 2,250,000 Shares.
