      standardizing management information systems to aid in accounting, billing, collections and data capture and analysis; and

      centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other commodities used in our operations.

Increase commercial volume.Commercial Volume.    We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our specialty hospitals. We believe that commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

Develop inpatient facilities.Specialty Hospitals.    Since our inception in 1997 we have internally developed 64 specialty hospitals. While there is currently no limitation on the development of new IRFs, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, together with the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, reinstates the moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017. We will continueare currently continuing the development of new LTCHs and LTCH satellite facilities that met the requirements for an exception to evaluate opportunitiesthe moratorium prior to developApril 1, 2014.

        Pursue Joint Ventures with Large Health Care Systems.    By leveraging the experience of our senior management and development team, we believe that we are well positioned to expand our portfolio of joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture relationshipsopportunities, our development team conducts an extensive review of the area's referral patterns and commercial insurance rates to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Once discussions commence with significanta health systems,care system, we refine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working capital, the construction of new space or the leasing and from time to timerenovation of existing space. A joint venture typically consists of us and the health care system contributing certain post acute care businesses into a newly formed entity. We typically function as the manager and hold either a majority or minority ownership interest. We believe we improve the joint venture by bringing clinical expertise, adding clinical

increase the financial performance of the joint venture.

Pursue opportunistic acquisitions and joint ventures.Opportunistic Acquisitions.    In addition to our development and joint venture initiatives, we may grow our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions or joint ventures.acquisitions. When we acquire a hospital or a group of hospitals, or enter into a joint venture, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions and implementing our standardized resource management programs.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

        The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

    Provide high quality careHigh-Quality Care and service.Service.    We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing on quality care and offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve. This high quality of care and service allows us to strengthen our relationships with referring physicians, employers and health insurers and drive additional patient volume.


Table of Contents

    Increase market share.Market Share.    We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new clinics in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty and workforce continuity. We are focused on increasing our workers' compensation and commercial/managed care payor mix.

    Expand rehabilitation programsRehabilitation Programs and services.Services.    Through our local clinical directors of operations and clinic managers within their service areas, we assess the healthcare needs of the areas we serve. Based on these assessments, we implement additional programs and services specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from the knowledge we gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

    Optimize the profitabilityProfitability of our payor contracts.Payor Contracts.    We review payor contracts up for renewal and potential new payor contracts to optimize our profitability. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess potential profitability by evaluating past and projected patient volume, clinic capacity, and expense trends. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not meet our defined criteria. We believe that our size and our strong reputation enable us to negotiate favorable outpatient contracts with commercial insurers.

    Maintain strong employee relations.Strong Employee Relations.    We believe that the relationships between our employees and the referral sources in their communities are critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as physicians and healthcare case managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the service we provide and their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance- based bonus program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments and internal training programs. We also focus on empowering our employees whose relationships with referral sourcesby giving them a high degree of autonomy in determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are keypotential business leaders. This management approach reflects the unique nature of each local area in which we

operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to our success.

assume responsibility for their clinic's performance.

Pursue opportunistic acquisitions.Opportunistic Acquisitions.    We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities.

Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the success of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including:

    Leadingincluding our position as a leading operator in distincteach of our business segments, proven financial performance and strong cash flow, significant scale, experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, ability to capitalize on consolidation opportunities and an experienced management team.

            Leading Operator in Distinct but complementary linesComplementary Lines of business.Business.    We believe that we are a leading operator in each of our principal business segments, based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high quality,high-quality, cost-effective health carehealthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our marketing efforts to payors and referral sources and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our specialty hospital segment, we operated 108 LTCHs in 28 states and 15 IRFs in seven states at December 31, 2013. We derived approximately 74% of net operating revenues from our specialty hospital segment, for the year ended December 31, 2013. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 1,006 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 32 states and the District of Columbia at December 31, 2013. We derived approximately 26% of net operating revenues from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, for the year ended December 31, 2013. With these leading positions in the areas we serve, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for medical services due to an aging population in the United States, which will drive growth across our business lines.

    Proven financial performanceFinancial Performance and strong cash flow.Strong Cash Flow.    We have established a track record of improving the financial performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management and an intense focus on free cash flow generation.

            Experience in Partnering with Large Health Care Systems.

        Over the past several years we have partnered with large regional health care systems to provide post acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise through our experience in operating specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation services to these ventures and have improved and expanded the level of post acute care services provided in these communities, as well as the financial performance of these operations.

selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that each of our business segments is fragmented, with many of the nation's LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation facilities being operated by independent operators lacking national or broad regional scope. With our geographically diversified portfolio of facilities in the United States, we believe that our footprint provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on multiple potential acquisition opportunities.

In recent years, we have reorganized our operations to expand executive talent and ensure management continuity.

Industry

        In the United States, spending on healthcare is expected to be 17.8%18.3% of the gross domestic product in 2013,2014, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. An important factor driving healthcare spending is increased consumption of services due to the aging of the population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, between 2000 and 2010 the population aged 65 and older in the United States grew 15.1%, while the total population grew 9.7%. The United States is projected to continue to experience rapid growth in its older population. In 2050, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to be 88.5 million, more than double its population of 40.2 million in 2010. We believe that an increasing number of individuals age 65 and older will drive demand for our specialized medical services.

        For individuals age 65 and older, the primary source of health insurance is the federal Medicare program. Medicare utilizes distinct payment methodologies for services provided in long term acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilitiesLTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. In the federal fiscal year 2010, Medicare payments for long term acute care hospital services accounted for 1.0% of overall Medicare outlays and Medicare payments for inpatient rehabilitation services accounted for 1.2%, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission.

Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes Pursuant to the Exchange Offer

        Based on certain interpretive letters issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to third parties in unrelated transactions, the Issuer is of the view that holders of old notes (other than any holder who is an "affiliate" of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) who exchange their old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer generally may offer the new notes for resale, resell such new notes and otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

    the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders' business;

    the holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes; and

    neither the holder nor any other person is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the new notes.

        Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activity must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. See "Plan of Distribution." If a holder of old notes does not exchange the old notes for new notes according to the terms of the exchange offer, the old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the legend printed on the old notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Holders of old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer—Resales of New Notes."

        Additionally, if you do not participate in the exchange offer, you will not be able to require us to register the resale of your old notes under the Securities Act except in limited circumstances. These circumstances are:

    the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy,

    the exchange offer is not completed before the later of (i) 60 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement and (ii) 270 days after date of issuance of the old notes, or

    prior to the 30th day following consummation of the exchange offer:

    any initial purchaser of the old notes requests that we register old notes that were not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer and that are held by it following consummation of the exchange offer; or

    any holder of old notes notifies us that it is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer or a broker-dealer notifies us that it holds securities acquired directly from us or our affiliates; or

    any initial purchaser of the old notes notifies us that it will not receive freely tradable new notes in exchange for old notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment.

        In these cases, the registration rights agreement requires us to file a registration statement for a continuous offering in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the benefit of the holders of the old notes. We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any old notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer.

Net revenue per patient day is calculated by dividing specialty hospital direct patient service revenues by the total number of patient days.

(3)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income (expense). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. The actual occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the value of the new notes could decline substantially, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and may become less liquid.

        We did not register the resale of the old notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, nor do we intend to after the exchange offer. In general, you may only offer or sell the old notes if the resale is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. If you do not exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to such restrictions on transfer and you may be unable to sell the old notes.

        Because we anticipate that most holders of old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any old notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any old notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the old notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your old notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your old notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes will be adversely affected.

If an active trading market for the new notes does not develop, the liquidity and value of the new notes could be harmed.

        There is no existingIn connection with the initial placements of the old notes and 2013 notes, the initial purchasers informed us that they intended to make a market forin the notes (including the new notes.notes) following completion of such offering. However, the initial purchasers may cease their market-making at any time. An active public market for the new notes may not develop or, if developed, may not continue. If an active public market does not develop or is not maintained, you may not be able to sell your new notes at their fair market value or at all.

        Even if a public market for the new notes develops, trading prices will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the market for similar securities. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the new notes. Declines in the market for debt securities generally may also materially and adversely affect the liquidity of the new notes, independent of our financial performance.

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new notes.

        The new notes will be issued in exchange for the old notes only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes or a book-entry confirmation related thereto, a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message and all other required documentation. If you want to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. None of us, Holdings, nor the exchange agent are under any duty to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. Old notes that


Table of Contents

are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender the old notes in the exchange offer to participate in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the


Table of Contents

registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For additional information, please refer to the sections entitled "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution" later in this prospectus.

Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the new notes.

        Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under "Plan of Distribution," you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your new notes. In these cases, if you transfer any new note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

Risks Related to the New Notes

Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business, which could prevent us from generating the future cash flow needed to fulfill our obligations under the notes.

        As of June 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we had approximately $1,531.0$1,612.2 million of total indebtedness on a consolidated basis. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

    requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

    increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

    limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;

    makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at variable rates;

    limits our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital or other purposes, such as raising the funds necessary to repurchase all notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of specified changes of control in our ownership; and

    places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

        See "Capitalization" and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

Restrictions imposed by our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes limit our ability to engage in or enter into business, operating and financing arrangements, which could prevent us from taking advantage of potentially profitable business opportunities.

        The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes, may adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our

interest. For example, our senior secured credit facilities restrict our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

    incur or guarantee additional debt and issue or sell preferred stock;

    pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

    make certain acquisitions or investments;

    incur or permit to exist certain liens;

    enter into transactions with affiliates;

    merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company;

    transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

    redeem subordinated debt;

    incur capital expenditures;

    incur contingent obligations;

    incur obligations that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to us; and

    create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries.

        Our senior secured credit facilities also require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control. A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our senior secured credit facilities. In the event of any default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable, to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings or to prevent us from making debt service payments on the notes, any of which would be an event of default under the notes. See "Description of the Notes" and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

Despite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks described above.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the new notes contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of June 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we had $153.1$152.7 million of revolving loan availability under our senior secured credit facilities (after giving effect to $41.9$42.3 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition, to the extent new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries' current debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described above would increase.

To service our indebtedness and meet our other ongoing liquidity needs, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control, including possible changes in government reimbursement rates or methods. If we cannot generate the required cash, we may not be able to make the required payments under the new notes.

        Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund our planned capital expenditures and our other ongoing liquidity needs will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our future financial results will be subject to substantial fluctuations upon a significant change in government reimbursement rates or methods. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including our indebtedness in respect of the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our inability to pay our debts would require us to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling equity capital. However, we cannot assure you that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or provide adequate funds to allow us to pay our debts as they come due and fund our other liquidity needs. Also, some alternative strategies would require the prior consent of our senior secured lenders, which we may not be able to obtain. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

The notes and the subsidiary guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their debt, their trade creditors and holders of their preferred equity will generally be entitled to payment on their claims from assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Although the indenture governing the notes contains limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock by us and our restricted subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions. Moreover, the indenture governing the notes does not impose any limitation in the incurrence by our restricted subsidiaries of liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness under the indenture. The aggregate net operating revenues and income from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 20122013 of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes were $399.0$421.8 million and $42.5$47.7 million, respectively, and at June 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, those subsidiaries had total assets and indebtedness and other liabilities (excluding intercompany indebtedness and liabilities) of $240.1$228.9 million and $47.6$45.5 million, respectively. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock." See also "Description of the Notes—Subsidiary Guarantees" and the condensed consolidating financial information included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein.in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The new notes will not be secured by our assets nor those of our subsidiaries and the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities are entitled to remedies available to a secured lender, which gives them priority over the note holders to collect amounts due to them.

        The new notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will not be secured by any of our or our subsidiaries' assets and therefore will be effectively subordinated to the claims of our secured debt holders to the extent of the value of the assets securing our secured debt. Our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities are secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of Holdings'

capital stock and the capital stock of Holdings' subsidiaries and by substantially all of our assets and each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor. If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under our senior secured credit facilities or in respect of any other secured senior indebtedness is accelerated, the lenders under our senior secured


Table of Contents

credit facilities or holders of other secured senior indebtedness will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law (in addition to any remedies that may be available under documents pertaining to our senior secured credit facilities or other secured debt). In addition, we and or the subsidiary guarantors may incur additional secured senior indebtedness, the holders of which will also be entitled to the remedies available to a secured lender. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Secured Credit Facilities" and "Description of the Notes."

We may not have the funds to purchase the notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.

        If we were to experience a change of control as described under "Description of the Notes," we would be required to make an offer to purchase all of the notes then outstanding at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The source of funds for any purchase of the notes would be our available cash or cash generated from other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets, sales of equity or funds provided by our existing or new stockholders. We cannot assure you that any of these sources will be available or sufficient to make the required repurchase of the notes, and restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities may not allow such repurchases. Upon the occurrence of a change of control event, we may seek to refinance the debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities and the notes. However, it is possible that we will not be able to complete such refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In such event, we would not have the funds necessary to finance the required change of control offer. See "Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

        In addition, a change of control would be an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities. Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to our senior debt to which we become a party may contain similar provisions. Our failure to purchase the notes upon a change of control under the indenture would constitute an event of default under the indenture. This default would, in turn, constitute an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities and may constitute an event of default under future senior debt, any of which may cause the related debt to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods. If debt were to be accelerated, we might not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes and repay the debt.

Federal and state statutes could allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the subsidiary guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and require note holders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors.

        Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court could void a subsidiary guarantee or claims related to the notes or subordinate a subsidiary guarantee to all of our other debts or to all other debts of a subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, at the time we or a subsidiary guarantor incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its subsidiary guarantee:

    we or the subsidiary guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness;

    the subsidiary guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

    the subsidiary guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

Table of Contents

    the subsidiary guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond the subsidiary guarantor's ability to pay such debts as they mature.

        In addition, a court could void any payment by a subsidiary guarantor pursuant to the notes or a subsidiary guarantee and require that payment to be returned to such subsidiary guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the subsidiary guarantor.


Table of Contents

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the governing law in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

    the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that we and each subsidiary guarantor are not insolvent, do not have insufficient capital for the business in which we are or it is engaged and have not incurred debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as they mature. There can be no assurance, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our or the subsidiary guarantors' conclusions in this regard.

There is no public market for the notes, and we cannot be sure that a market for the notes will develop.

        The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no active trading market. As a result, we cannot assure you that the initial prices at which the notes will sell in the market after this offering will not be lower than the initial offering price or that an active trading market for the notes will develop and continue after completion of this offering. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market for the notes. However, the initial purchasers are not obligated to do so, and may discontinue any market-making activities with respect to the notes at any time without notice. In addition, market-making activities will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and may be limited. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading market for, the notes.

        Focus on Specialized Inpatient Services.    We serve highly acute patients and patients with debilitating injuries and rehabilitation needs that cannot be adequately cared for in a less medically intensive environment, such as a skilled nursing facility. Generally, patients in our specialty hospitals require longer stays and can benefit from more specialized clinical care than patients treated in general acute care hospitals. Our patients' average length of stay in our specialty hospitals was 24 days for the year ended December 31, 2010, 48% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 47% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 came from the highly regulated federal Medicare program.

        In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various payment systems under the Medicare program. President Obama signed into law comprehensive reforms to the healthcare system, including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement. Additional reforms or other changes to these payment systems, including modifications to the conditions on qualification for payment, bundling payments to cover both acute and post-acute care or the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers, may be proposed or could be adopted, either by the U.S. Congress or by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. If revised regulations are adopted, the availability, methods and rates of Medicare reimbursements for services of the type furnished at our facilities could change. Some of these changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS will fully reflect increases in our operating costs.


Table of Contents2013.

 The Budget Control Act of 2011, enacted on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap, which are expected to reduce Medicare payments by more than $11 billion in fiscal year 2013 and $123 billion over the period of fiscal years 2013 to 2021. On April 1, 2013 a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, this reduction has reduced our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $9.5 million. We have estimated that this reduction will reduce our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $16.0 million to $17.0 million for the remainder of 2013.

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations, new interpretations of existing regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.

        The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to (1) facility and professional licensure, including certificates of need, (2) conduct of operations, including financial relationships among healthcare providers, Medicare fraud and abuse and physician self-referral, (3) addition of facilities and services and enrollment of newly developed facilities in the Medicare program, (4) payment for services and (5) safeguarding protected health information.

        Both federal and state regulatory agencies inspect, survey and audit our facilities to review our compliance with these laws and regulations. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing, Medicare certification requirements and accreditation standards, there can be no assurance that these regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. A determination by any of these regulatory authorities that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements could lead to the imposition of requirements that the facility takes corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

        In addition, there have been heightened coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts by both federal and state government agencies relating to the healthcare industry. The ongoing investigations relate to, among other things, various referral practices, cost reporting, billing practices, physician ownership and joint ventures involving hospitals. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject us to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services and capital expenditure programs. These changes may increase our operating expenses and reduce our operating revenues. If we fail to comply with these extensive laws and government regulations, we could become ineligible to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations. In addition, we could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to any related investigation or other enforcement action.

Full implementation of Medicare admission thresholds applicable to LTCHs operated as HIHs or as "satellites" will have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Effective for hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2004, LTCHs that are operated as "hospitals within hospitals" ("HIHs"), or as HIH "satellites," are subject to a payment reduction for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals that are in excess of a specified percentage threshold. These HIHs and their HIH satellites are separate hospitals located in space leased from, or located on the same campus of, another hospital, which we refer to as "host hospitals." For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare admissions threshold has been established at 25% except for HIHs located in rural areas or co-located with an MSA dominant

        Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We believe that our specialty hospitals serve a critical role in comprehensive healthcare delivery. Through our specialized treatment programs and staffing models, we treat patients with acute, complex and specialized medical needs who are typically referred to us by general acute care hospitals. Our specialized treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions such as ventilator weaning programs, wound care protocols and rehabilitation programs for brain trauma and spinal cord injuries. Our responsive staffing models ensure that patients have the current regulations) in which casesappropriate clinical resources over the percentage is no more than 50%, nor less than 25%. Certain grandfathered HIHs were initially excluded from thecourse of their stay. We maintain quality assurance programs to support and monitor quality of care standards and to meet regulatory requirements and maintain Medicare admission threshold regulations. Grandfathered HIHs refer to certain HIHscertifications. We believe that were in existence on or before September 30, 1995,we are recognized for providing quality care and grandfathered satellite facilities refer to satellites of grandfathered HIHs that were in existence on or before September 30, 1999.

service, as evidenced by our specialty hospitals' accreditations by The Medicare and Medicaid SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, (the "SCHIP Extension Act"), as amended byJoint Commission, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the "ARRA"Osteopathic Association ("AOA") and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "PPACA"Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities ("CARF"), limited the application. As of December 31, 2013, all of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commission or the AOA. Some of our IRFs have also received accreditation from CARF. We also believe we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve by demonstrating our quality of care.

        Reduce Operating Costs.    We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs at our hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

    centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance and billing and collection;

    standardizing management information systems to aid in accounting, billing, collections and data capture and analysis; and

    centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other commodities used in our operations.

        Increase Commercial Volume.    We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our specialty hospitals. We believe that commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

        Develop Specialty Hospitals.    Since our inception in 1997 we have internally developed 64 specialty hospitals. While there is currently no limitation on the development of new IRFs, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, together with the Protecting Access to Medicare admission thresholdAct of 2014, reinstates the moratorium on HIHsthe establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existence on Octoberexisting LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning April 1, 2004. For these HIHs,2014 through September 30, 2017. We are currently continuing the admission threshold was no lower than 50%development of new LTCHs and LTCH satellite facilities that met the requirements for a five year periodan exception to commence onthe moratorium prior to April 1, 2014.

        Pursue Joint Ventures with Large Health Care Systems.    By leveraging the experience of our senior management and development team, we believe that we are well positioned to expand our portfolio of joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture opportunities, our development team conducts an LTCH's first cost reporting period to begin on or after October 1, 2007. Under the SCHIP Extension Act, for HIHs located in rural areas the percentage threshold was no more than 75% for the same five year period. For HIHs that are co-located with MSA dominant hospitals or single urban hospitals, the percentage threshold was no more than 75% during the same five year period. The SCHIP Extension Act, as amended, limited the full applicationextensive review of the Medicare percentage thresholdarea's referral patterns and in some cases, postponed application ofcommercial insurance rates to determine the percentage threshold until cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 or October 1, 2012. Through regulations published on August 1, 2012, CMS adopted a one-year extension of relief granted by the SCHIP Extension Act from the full application of Medicare admission thresholds. As a result, full implementation of the Medicare admission thresholds go into effect during cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013.

        As of June 30, 2013, we owned 76 LTCH HIHs; five of these HIHs were subject to a maximum 25% Medicare admission threshold, two HIHs are co-located with an MSA dominant hospitalgeneral reimbursement trends and were subject to a Medicare admission threshold of no more than 50%, nor less than 25%, 18 of these HIHs were co-locatedpayor mix. Once discussions commence with a MSA dominant hospitalhealth care system, we refine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working capital, the construction of new space or single urban hospitalthe leasing and were subject torenovation of existing space. A joint venture typically consists of us and the health care system contributing certain post acute care businesses into a Medicare admission threshold of no more than 75%, 46 of these HIHs were subject tonewly formed entity. We typically function as the manager and hold either a maximum 50% Medicare admissions threshold, three of these HIHs were located in a rural area and were subject to a maximum 75% Medicare admission threshold, and two of these HIHs were grandfathered HIHs and not subject to a Medicare admission threshold.

        Because these rules are complex and are based onmajority or minority ownership interest. We believe we improve the volume of Medicare admissions from our host hospitals as a percent of our overall Medicare admissions, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on our future net operating revenues, income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA of compliance with these regulations. We expect many of our HIHs will experience an adverse financial impact when full implementation of the Medicare admission thresholds goes into effect for LTCHs with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013. As a result, we expect these rules will adversely affect our future net operating revenues and profitability.

 For cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007, CMS expanded the current Medicare HIH admissions threshold to apply to Medicare patients admitted from any individual hospital. Previously, the admissions threshold was applicable only to Medicare HIH admissions from hospitals co-located with an LTCH or satellite of an LTCH. Under the expanded rule, free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered LTCH HIHs are subject to the Medicare admission thresholds, as well as HIHs that admit Medicare patients from non-co-located hospitals. To the extent that any LTCH's or LTCH satellite facility's discharges that are admitted from an individual hospital (regardless of whether the referring hospital is co-located with the LTCH or LTCH satellite) exceed the applicable percentage threshold during a particular cost reporting period, the payment rate for those discharges is subject to a downward payment adjustment. Cases admitted in excess of the applicable threshold are reimbursed at

programs that attract commercial payors, and implementing our standardized resource management programs, which may increase the financial performance of the joint venture.

        Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    In addition to our development and joint venture initiatives, we may grow our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions. When we acquire a rate comparablehospital or a group of hospitals, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by adding clinical programs that underattract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions and implementing our standardized resource management programs.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

        The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

        Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. Our clinics utilize the general acutefeedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing on quality care inpatient prospective payment system ("IPPS"). IPPS rates are generally lower than the long-term care hospital prospective payment system ("LTCH-PPS") rates. Cases that reach outlier statusand offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty in the discharging hospitallocal areas we serve. This high quality of care and service allows us to strengthen our relationships with referring physicians, employers and health insurers and drive additional patient volume.

        Increase Market Share.    We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new clinics in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty and workforce continuity. We are focused on increasing our workers' compensation and commercial/managed care payor mix.

        Expand Rehabilitation Programs and Services.    Through our local clinical directors of operations and clinic managers within their service areas, we assess the healthcare needs of the areas we serve. Based on these assessments, we implement additional programs and services specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from the knowledge we gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

        Optimize the Profitability of our Payor Contracts.    We review payor contracts up for renewal and potential new payor contracts to optimize our profitability. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess potential profitability by evaluating past and projected patient volume, clinic capacity, and expense trends. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not count towardmeet our defined criteria. We believe that our size and our strong reputation enable us to negotiate favorable outpatient contracts with commercial insurers.

        Maintain Strong Employee Relations.    We believe that the limitrelationships between our employees and the referral sources in their communities are paid under LTCH-PPS.

        The SCHIP Extension Act,critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as amended, postponed the application of the percentage thresholdphysicians and healthcare case managers, send their patients to free-standing LTCHs and grandfathered HIHs for a five-year period commencing on an LTCH's first cost reporting period on or after July 1, 2007. However, the SCHIP Extension Act did not postpone the application of the percentage threshold to Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH HIH or HIH satellite that were admitted from a non-co-located hospital. In addition, the SCHIP Extension Act, as interpreted by CMS, did not provide relief from the application of the threshold for patients admitted from a co-located hospital to certain non-grandfathered HIHs. The ARRA limits application of the admission threshold to no more than 50% of Medicare admissions to grandfathered satellites from a co-located hospital for a five year period commencing on the first cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2007. Through regulations published on August 1, 2012, CMS adopted a one-year extension of relief granted by the SCHIP Extension Act from the full application of Medicare admission thresholds. As a result, full implementation of the Medicare admission thresholds will not go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013, except for certain LTCHs with cost reporting periods that begin between July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Those freestanding facilities, grandfathered HIHs and grandfathered satellites with cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and before October 1, 2012 are subject to a modified admission threshold for discharges occurring in a three month period between July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Full application of Medicare admission thresholds will go into effect in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013, including the Medicare admission thresholds applicable to freestanding facilities, grandfathered HIHs and grandfathered satellites. Of the 108 LTCHs we owned as of June 30, 2013, 32 were operated as free-standing hospitals and two qualified as grandfathered LTCH HIHs.

We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance- based bonus program, a defined career path with the impact on our future net operating revenues, income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA of compliance with these regulations. Our LTCHs have cost reporting periods that commence on various dates throughout the calendar year. Therefore, the application of the lower admission thresholds will be staggered and we would not realize the full impact of lower admission thresholds until 2015. We have performed an initial review of the potential impact of lower admission thresholds to our LTCHs.

We also focus on empowering our employees by giving them a high degree of autonomy in determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are potential business leaders. This management approach reflects the executionunique nature of successful mitigation strategies and operating cost reductions,each local area in which we believe the net impact to income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015 to be between $5.0 to $10.0 million and $5.0 to $15.0 million, respectively.

Expiration of the moratorium imposed on the payment adjustment for very short-stay cases in our LTCHs has reduced and will continue to reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

 On May 1, 2007, CMS published a new provision that changed the payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay that is less than the IPPS comparable threshold. Beginning with discharges on or after July 1, 2007, for these very short-stay cases, the rule lowered the LTCH payment to a rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS per diem. Short stay outlier ("SSO") cases with covered lengths of stay that exceed the IPPS comparable threshold would continue to be paid under the existing SSO payment policy. The SCHIP Extension Act and PPACA prevented CMS from applying this change to SSO policy for a period of five years through December 28, 2012. The implementation

        Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities.

Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the payment methodology for very short-stay outliers discharged aftersuccess of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including our position as a leading operator in each of our business segments, proven financial performance and strong cash flow, significant scale, experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, ability to capitalize on consolidation opportunities and an experienced management team.

        Leading Operator in Distinct but Complementary Lines of Business.    We believe that we are a leading operator in each of our principal business segments, based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high-quality, cost-effective healthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our marketing efforts to payors and referral sources and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our specialty hospital segment, we operated 108 LTCHs in 28 states and 15 IRFs in seven states at December 29, 2012 has reduced and will continue to reduce our future31, 2013. We derived approximately 74% of net operating revenues from our specialty hospital segment, for the year ended December 31, 2013. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 1,006 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 32 states and profitability.

If our long term acute care hospitals fail to maintain their certifications as long term acute care hospitals or if our facilities operated as HIHs fail to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, ourthe District of Columbia at December 31, 2013. We derived approximately 26% of net operating revenues from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, for the year ended December 31, 2013. With these leading positions in the areas we serve, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for medical services due to an aging population in the United States, which will drive growth across our business lines.

        Proven Financial Performance and profitability may decline.Strong Cash Flow.    We have established a track record of improving the financial performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management and an intense focus on free cash flow generation. This includes regular review of specific financial metrics of our business to determine trends in our revenue generation, expenses, billing and cash collection. Based on the ongoing analysis of such trends, we make adjustments to our operations to optimize our financial performance and cash flow.

        Significant Scale.    By building significant scale in each of our business segments, we have been able to leverage our operating costs by centralizing administrative functions at our corporate office. As a result, we have been able to minimize our general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues.

        Experience in Successfully Completing and Integrating Acquisitions.    From our inception in 1997 through 2013, we completed seven significant acquisitions for approximately $1,104.8 million in aggregate consideration. We believe that we have improved the operating performance of these facilities over time by applying our standard operating practices and by realizing efficiencies from our centralized operations and management.

        Experience in Partnering with Large Health Care Systems.    Over the past several years we have partnered with large regional health care systems to provide post acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise through our experience in operating specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation services to these ventures and have improved and expanded the level of post acute care services provided in these communities, as well as the financial performance of these operations.

        Well-Positioned to Capitalize on Consolidation Opportunities.    We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on consolidation opportunities within each of our business segments and

 As of June 30, 2013, we operated 109 LTCHs, all of which are currently certified by Medicare as LTCHs. LTCHs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare program as an LTCH, including, among other things, maintaining an average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days. An LTCH that fails to maintain this average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days during a single cost reporting period is generally allowed an opportunity to show that it meets the length of stay criteria during the subsequent cost reporting period. If the LTCH can show that it meets the length of stay criteria during this cure period, it will continue to be paid under the LTCH prospective payment system ("LTCH-PPS"). If the LTCH again fails to meet the average length of stay criteria during the cure period, it will be paid under the general acute care inpatient prospective payment system at rates generally lower than the rates under the LTCH-PPS.

        Similarly, our HIHs must meet conditions of participation in the Medicare program, which include additional criteria establishing separateness from the hospital with which the HIH shares space. If our LTCHs or HIHs fail to meet or maintain the standards for certification as LTCHs, they will receive payment under the general acute care hospitals IPPS which is generally lower than payment under the system applicable to LTCHs. Payments at rates applicable to general acute care hospitals would result in our LTCHs receiving significantly less Medicare reimbursement than they currently receive for their patient services.

Implementation of additional patient or facility criteria for LTCHs that limit the population of patients eligible for our hospitals' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenue and profitability.

        CMS and industry stakeholders have, for a number of years, explored the development of facility and patient certification criteria for LTCHs, potentially as an alternative to the current specific payment adjustment features of LTCH-PPS. In its June 2004 report to Congress, MedPAC recommended the adoption by CMS of new facility staffing and services criteria and patient clinical characteristics and treatment requirements for LTCHs in order to ensure that only appropriate patients are admitted to these facilities. MedPAC is an independent federal body that advises Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. After MedPAC's recommendation, CMS awarded a contract to Research Triangle Institute International to examine such recommendation. However, while acknowledging that Research Triangle Institute International's findings are expected to have a substantial impact on future Medicare policy for LTCHs, CMS stated in its payment update published in May 2006, that many of the specific payment adjustment features of LTCH-PPS then in place may still be necessary and appropriate even with the development of patient- and facility-level criteria for LTCHs. In early 2008, CMS indicated that Research Triangle Institute International continues to work with the clinical community to make recommendations to CMS regarding payment and treatment of critically ill patients in LTCHs. The SCHIP Extension Act requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a study and submit a report to Congress on the establishment of national LTCH facility and patient criteria and to consider the recommendations contained in MedPAC's June 2004 report to Congress.

        In the preamble to the proposed update to the Medicare policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2014, CMS described the preliminary findings of the ongoing research being conducted by Kennell and Associates and its subcontractor, Research Triangle Institute International, under the guidance of the

selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that each of our business segments is fragmented, with many of the nation's LTCHs, IRFs and Medicaid Innovation. According to CMS, the preliminary findings suggest that chronically critically ill and medically complex patients can be identifiedoutpatient rehabilitation facilities being operated by specific clinical factors as appropriate for treatment in an LTCH. CMS indicated that it is seeking public comment on a proposed change to the payment system that would limit full LTCH-PPS payment to cases that qualify as chronically critically ill/medically complex ("CCI/MC") during the patient's initial stay in an IPPS hospital inpatient setting and subsequently directly admitted to a LTCH. Payment for non-CCI/MC patients would be made at an "IPPS comparable amount," that is, an amount comparable to what would have been paid under the IPPS calculated as a per diem rate with total payments capped at the full IPPS MS-DRG payment rate. CMS also noted that it intends to study the alternative policy options for paymentindependent operators lacking national or broad regional scope. With our geographically diversified portfolio of chronically critically ill cases presented at MedPAC's April 5, 2013 meeting where the MedPAC staff discussed the options of: (1) paying for CCI/MC patients under the IPPS, no matter the site of care, but with an expanded outlier policy; (2) paying for CCI/MC patients under the IPPS, but creating new CCI/MC payment groups with a larger outlier pool; and (3) bundling post-acute costs into new CCI/MC payment groups.

        We cannot predict whether CMS will adopt additional patient criteria in the future or, if adopted, how such criteria would affect our LTCHs. Legislation was introducedfacilities in the United States, Senatewe believe that our footprint provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on August 2, 2011.

Industry

        In the United States, spending on healthcare is expected to be 18.3% of the gross domestic product in 2014, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. An important factor driving healthcare spending is increased consumption of services due to the aging of the population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, between 2000 and 2010 the population aged 65 and older in the United States grew 15.1%, while the total population grew 9.7%. The United States is projected to continue to experience rapid growth in its older population. In 2050, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to be paid under LTCH-PPS. After a phase-in period, a threshold percentage of an LTCH's Medicare fee-for-service discharges would have been required to meet specified criteria. The proposed legislation would have repealed, and prohibited CMS from applying, the 25 Percent Rule that applies to Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a co-located hospital or a non-co-located hospital and caused the LTCH to exceed the applicable percentage thresholds for discharged Medicare patients. Though no action was taken by Congress with respect to the proposed legislation, hospital industry groups continue to press for similar legislation. Implementation of these or other criteria that may limit the88.5 million, more than double its population of patients eligible for our LTCHs' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenues and profitability. See "Business—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement"40.2 million in our annual report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Decreases in Medicare reimbursement rates received by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, implementation of annual caps, and payment reductions applied to the second and subsequent therapy services may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics receive payments from the Medicare program under a fee schedule. The Medicare physician fee schedule rates are automatically updated annually based on the sustainable growth rate formula ("SGR formula"), contained in legislation. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 froze the Medicare physician fee schedule rates at 2012 levels through December 31, 2013, averting a scheduled 26.5% cut as a result of the SGR formula that would have taken effect on January 1, 2013. If no further legislation is passed by Congress and signed by the President, the SGR formula will likely reduce our Medicare outpatient rehabilitation payment rates beginning January 1, 2014.

        Congress has established annual caps that limit the amount that can be paid (including deductible and coinsurance amounts) for outpatient therapy services rendered to any Medicare beneficiary. As directed by Congress in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, CMS implemented an exception process for therapy expenses incurred in 2006. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) was able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of


Table of Contents

therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions were available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The exception process has been extended by Congress several times. Most recently, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 extended the exceptions process through December 31, 2013. The exception process will expire on January 1, 2014 unless further extended by Congress. There can be no assurance that Congress will extend it further. To date, the implementation of the therapy caps has not had a material adverse effect on our business. However, if the exception process is not renewed, our future net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        CMS adopted a multiple procedure payment reduction for therapy services in the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011. The policy became effective January 1, 2011 and applies to all outpatient therapy services paid under Medicare Part B—occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology. Under the policy, the Medicare program pays 100% of the practice expense component of the therapy procedure or unit of service with the highest Relative Value Unit, and then reduces the payment for the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy procedures or units of service furnished during the same day for the same patient, regardless of whether those therapy services are furnished in separate sessions. In 2011 and 2012 the second and subsequent therapy service furnished during the same day for the same patient was reduced by 20% in office and other non-institutional settings and by 25% in institutional settings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increased the payment reduction to 50% effective April 1, 2013. Our outpatient rehabilitation therapy services are primarily offered in institutional settings and, as such, were subject to the applicable 25% payment reduction in the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy services furnished by us to the same patient on the same day until April 1, 2013 when the payment reduction increased to 50%. See "Business—Government Regulations."

Our facilities are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable information.

        The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") required the United States Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards to protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable health-related information. The department released final regulations containing privacy standards in December 2000 and published revisions to the final regulations in August 2002. The privacy regulations extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health-related information. The regulations also provide patients with significant new rights related to understanding and controlling how their health information is used or disclosed. The security regulations require healthcare providers to implement administrative, physical and technical practices to protect the security of individually identifiable health information that is maintained or transmitted electronically. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ("HITECH"), which was signed into law in February of 2009, enhanced the privacy, security and enforcement provisions of HIPAA by, among other things establishing security breach notification requirements, allowing enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increasing penalties for HIPAA violations. Violations of HIPAA or HITECH could result in civil or criminal penalties.

        In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur.

        We have developed a comprehensive set of policies and procedures in our efforts to comply with HIPAA and other privacy laws. Our compliance officer, privacy officer and information security officer are responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with our privacy and security policies and

procedures at our facilities.2010. We believe that the costan increasing number of our compliance with HIPAAindividuals age 65 and other federal and state privacy lawsolder will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

As a result of increased post-payment reviews of claims we submit to Medicaredrive demand for our services, we may incur additional costs and may be required to repay amounts already paid to us.specialized medical services.

        We are subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigationsFor individuals age 65 and auditsolder, the primary source of health insurance is the claims we submit tofederal Medicare program. Medicare utilizes distinct payment methodologies for payment for our services. These post-payment reviews are increasing as a result of new government cost-containment initiatives, including enhanced medical necessity reviews for Medicare patients admitted toservices provided in LTCHs, and audits of Medicare claims under the Recovery Audit Contractor program. These additional post-payment reviews may require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and to pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately may require us to refund amounts paid to us by Medicare that are determined to have been overpaid.

We may be adversely affected by negative publicity which can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes.

        Negative press coverage can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes. Adverse publicity and increased governmental scrutiny can have a negative impact on our reputation with referral sources and patients and on the morale and performance of our employees, both of which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

Future acquisitions or joint ventures may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

        As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures of specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and other related healthcare facilities and services. These acquisitions or joint ventures may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

        We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses into ours, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits from an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Acquisitions could result in difficulties integrating acquired operations, technologies and personnel into our business. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients acquired through acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration efforts. Acquisitions could also have a negative impact on our results of operations if it is subsequently determined that goodwill or other acquired intangible assets are impaired, thus resulting in an impairment charge in a future period.

        In addition, acquisitions involve risks that the acquired businesses will not perform in accordance with expectations; that we may become liable for unforeseen financial or business liabilities of the acquired businesses, including liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare regulations; that the expected synergies associated with acquisitions will not be achieved; and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect, which could have an material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors may limit our future net operating revenues and profitability.

        Initiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect the profitability of our specialty hospitalsIRFs and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services on a discounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.

If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve, our net operating revenues may decrease.

        Our success is partially dependent upon the admissions and referral practices of the physicians in the communities our hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain good relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees and, in many of the local areas that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer their patients to other providers. If we are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these physicians, our hospitals' admissions and clinics' businesses may decrease, and our net operating revenues may decline.

Changes in federal or state law limiting or prohibiting certain physician referrals may preclude physicians from investing in our hospitals or referring to hospitals in which they already own an interest.

        The federal self referral law ("Stark Law") prohibits a physician who has a financial relationship with an entity from referring his or her Medicare or Medicaid patients to that entity for certain designated health services, including inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the PPACA, the exception to the Stark Law that previously permitted physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has been dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals, including LTCHs, with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the percentage of physician ownership or investment interests held in the hospital after March 23, 2010. In addition, physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to the hospital's location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician-owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety. Furthermore, initiatives are underway in some states to restrict physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals. Currently, ten of our consolidating hospitals have physicians as minority owners. The aggregate net operating revenue of these ten hospitals was $200.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, or approximately 6.8% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The range of physician minority ownership of these ten hospitals was 2.1% to 49.0% as of the year ended December 31, 2012. There can be no assurance that new legislation or regulation prohibiting or limiting physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals will not be successfully enacted in the future. If such federal or state laws are adopted, among other outcomes, physicians who have invested in our hospitals could be precluded from referring to, investing in or continuing to be physician owners of a hospital. In addition, expansion of our physician-owned hospitals may be limited, and the revenues, profitability and overall financial performance of our hospitals may be negatively affected.

We could experience significant increases to our operating costs due to shortages of healthcare professionals or union activity.

        Our specialty hospitals are highly dependent on nurses, and our outpatient rehabilitation division is highly dependent on therapists, for patient care. The market for qualified healthcare professionals is highly competitive. We have sometimes experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future. Additionally, the cost of attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel may be higher than we anticipate, and as a result, our profitability could decline.

        In addition, U.S. healthcare providers are continuing to see an increase in the amount of union activity. Though we cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by future union activity, there are continuing legislative proposals that could result in increased union activity. We could experience an increase in labor and other costs from such union activity.

Competition may limit our ability to acquire hospitals and clinics and adversely affect our growth.

        We have historically faced limited competition in acquiring specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics, but we may face heightened competition in the future. Our competitors may acquire or seek to acquire many of the hospitals and clinics that would be suitable acquisition candidates for us. This increased competition could hamper our ability to acquire companies, or such increased competition may cause us to pay a higher price than we would otherwise pay in a less competitive environment. Increased competition from both strategic and financial buyers could limit our ability to grow by acquisitions or make our cost of acquisitions higher and therefore decrease our profitability.

If we fail to compete effectively with other hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers in the local areas we serve, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

        The healthcare business is highly competitive, and we compete with other hospitals, rehabilitation clinics and other healthcare providers for patients. If we are unable to compete effectively in the specialty hospital and outpatient rehabilitation businesses, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline. Many of our specialty hospitals operate in geographic areas where we compete with at least one other hospital that provides similar services. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face competition from a variety of local and national outpatient rehabilitation providers. Other outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas we serve may have greater name recognition and longer operating histories than our clinics. The managers of these clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their communities, which could give them a competitive advantage for patient referrals.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.

        Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and other key employees, and our ability to retain and motivate these individuals. We currently have employment agreements in place with four executive officers and change in control agreements and/or non-competition agreements with several other officers. Many of these individuals also have significant equity ownership in Holdings. We do not maintain any key life insurance policies for any of our employees. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could disrupt significant aspects of our business, could prevent us from successfully executing our business strategy and could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

        Physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions


Table of Contents

involve large claims and significant defense costs. We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. These whistleblower lawsuits are not covered by insurance and can involve significant monetary damages and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. See "Legal Proceedings."

        We currently maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $30.0 million. Our insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a "claims-made" basis and our commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an "occurrence" basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. We review our insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. In addition, our insurance coverage does not generally cover punitive damages and may not cover all claims against us. See "Business—Government Regulations—Other Healthcare Regulations."

Concentration of ownership among our existing executives, directors and principal stockholders may conflict with your interests as a holder of the notes.

        Welsh Carson and Thoma Cressey beneficially own approximately 34.2% and 2.3%, respectively, of Holdings' outstanding common stock as of July 31, 2013. Holdings' executives, directors and principal stockholders, including Welsh Carson and Thoma Cressey, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 54.7% of Holdings' outstanding common stock as of July 31, 2013. As a result, these stockholders have significant control over our management and policies and are able to exercise influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of Holdings' certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. The directors elected by these stockholders are able to make decisions affecting Holdings' capital structure, including decisions to issue additional capital stock, implement stock repurchase programs and incur indebtedness. This influence may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 We will not receive any proceeds from this exchange offer. Because we are exchanging the new notes for the old notes, which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreements.

        Net proceeds from the offering of the old notes were approximately $587.0 million and were used to prepay a portion of the term loans outstanding due 2018 under our senior secured credit facilities.

        See "Description of Other Indebtedness."

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATAConsequences of Exchanging Old Notes Pursuant to the Exchange Offer

        Based on certain interpretive letters issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to third parties in unrelated transactions, the Issuer is of the view that holders of old notes (other than any holder who is an "affiliate" of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) who exchange their old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer generally may offer the new notes for resale, resell such new notes and otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

    the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders' business;

    the holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes; and

    neither the holder nor any other person is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the new notes.

        Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activity must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. See "Plan of Distribution." If a holder of old notes does not exchange the old notes for new notes according to the terms of the exchange offer, the old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the legend printed on the old notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Holders of old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer—Resales of New Notes."

        Additionally, if you do not participate in the exchange offer, you will not be able to require us to register the resale of your old notes under the Securities Act except in limited circumstances. These circumstances are:

    the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy,

    the exchange offer is not completed before the later of (i) 60 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement and (ii) 270 days after date of issuance of the old notes, or

    prior to the 30th day following consummation of the exchange offer:

    any initial purchaser of the old notes requests that we register old notes that were not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer and that are held by it following consummation of the exchange offer; or

    any holder of old notes notifies us that it is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer or a broker-dealer notifies us that it holds securities acquired directly from us or our affiliates; or

    any initial purchaser of the old notes notifies us that it will not receive freely tradable new notes in exchange for old notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment.

        In these cases, the registration rights agreement requires us to file a registration statement for a continuous offering in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the benefit of the holders of the old notes. We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any old notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial positions of Select as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010. This commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 andDuring the year ended December 31, 2012 appearing in "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

        Select is a wholly owned subsidiary of Select Medical Holdings Corporation. Holdings' primary asset is its investment in Select. Holdings conducts all of its business through Select and its subsidiaries.

Overview

        We believe that we are one of the largest operators of both specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities. As of June 30, 2013, we operated 109 long term acute care hospitals and 14 acute medical rehabilitation hospitals in 28 states, and 988 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 32 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contracted basis to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and work sites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership of our current management team. As of June 30, 2013 we had operations in 44 states and the District of Columbia.

        We manage our Company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. We had net operating revenues of $2,949.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $1,506.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Of this total, we earned approximately 75% and 74% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospitals and approximately 25% and 26% from our outpatient rehabilitation business for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

        Our specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders and cancer. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. Our outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living.

    amend the restrictive covenants governing the senior secured credit facilities in order to allow for unlimited restricted payments so long as there is no event of default under the senior secured credit facilities and the total pro forma ratio of total indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in our senior secured credit facilities) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

    Budget Control Act of 2011

        On April 1, 2013 a federally mandated 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented resulting in reductions to our net operating revenues and income from operations of approximately $9.5 million, of which approximately $9.1 million was related to our specialty hospitals and $0.4 million was related to outpatient rehabilitation, in the three months ended June 30, 2013. See the section titled "Regulatory Changes"—"Budget Control Act of 2011" for a discussion of this regulatory change.

    American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012

        On April 1, 2013 the multiple procedure payment reduction ("MPPR Reduction") for therapy services was increased to 50% resulting in reductions to our net operating revenues and income from operations of approximately $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Cash for the dividend came fromMarch 4, 2014, we amended our cash on hand and borrowingsterm loans under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

Stock Repurchase Program

        Holdings' board of directors had authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $350.0 million through March 31, 2014, unless extended by the board of directors. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate. The timing of purchases of stock will be based upon market conditions and other factors. Holdings is funding this program with our cash on hand or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Holdings repurchased 5,725,782 shares at a cost of $46.8 million, an average cost per share of $8.17, which includes transaction costs, during the year ended December 31, 2012 and an additional 1,115,691 shares at a cost of approximately $10.0 million, an average cost per share of $8.95, which includes transaction costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Since the inception of the program through June 30, 2013, Holdings has repurchased 23,606,080 shares at a cost of approximately $173.6 million, or $7.36 per share, which includes transaction costs.

Summary Financial Results

    Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

        For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our net operating revenues increased 0.8% to $1,506.6 million compared to $1,494.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We experienced increases in net operating revenues in both our specialty hospital and outpatient rehabilitation segments. We had income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $170.8 million compared to $185.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $206.0 million, compared to $219.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. See the section entitled "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA. The decrease in our income from operations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is principally due to the 2% reduction in Medicare payments implemented April 1, 2013 as part of the automatic reductions in federal spending mandated under the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the MPPR Reduction, and increases in our operating expenses.

        Net income attributable to Select was $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $88.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in net income resulted from a decrease in our income from operations described above, a loss on early retirement of debt, and a decrease in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, offset in part by a reduction in our effective income tax rate. Cash flow from operations provided $27.6 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

    Year Ended December 31, 2012

        For the year ended December 31, 2012, our net operating revenues increased 5.2% to $2,949.0 million compared to $2,804.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our specialty hospital revenues increased $102.0 million or 4.9% from the prior year and our outpatient rehabilitation revenues increased $42.5 million or 6.0% from the prior year. We had income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $336.9 million compared to $310.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. We had net income attributable to


Table of Contents

Select for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $155.5 million compared to $126.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $405.8 million compared to $386.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. See the section entitled "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA. The increases in our income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 are principally due to increases in the operating performance of our specialty hospital segment. We were able to increase our specialty hospital income from operations $22.8 million or 7.3% and our specialty hospital Adjusted EBITDA $19.0 million or 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

        Net income attributable to Select increased $29.1 million to $155.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $126.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in our income from operations described above, increases in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries principally related to our joint venture with the Baylor Health Care System, or the "Baylor JV," and a reduction of interest expense. We also incurred a smaller loss on early retirement of debt related to the refinancing transactions completed in 2012 compared to the refinancing transactions completed in 2011. Cash flow from operations provided $309.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2012.

    Year Ended December 31, 2011

        For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net operating revenues increased 17.3% to $2,804.5 million compared to $2,390.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase in net operating revenues resulted principally from a 23.1% increase in our specialty hospital net operating revenue. The increase in our specialty hospital revenue is primarily due to the Regency hospitals we acquired on September 1, 2010. We had income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $310.7 million compared to $236.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We had net income attributable to Select for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $126.4 million compared to $104.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $386.0 million compared to $307.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. See the section entitled "Results of Operations" for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

        The increase in income from operations, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 from the prior year resulted from the addition of the Regency hospitals acquired on September 1, 2010 and improved operating performance at our other specialty hospitals. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $81.2 million compared to $84.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a reduction in our average interest rate that resulted from the expiration of interest rate swaps during 2010 that carried higher fixed interest rates and lower interest rates on portions of the debt we refinanced on June 1, 2011. Cash flow from operations provided $240.1 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Regulatory Changes

        The Medicare program reimburses us for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 47%, 48% and 47% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

        The Medicare program reimburses our long term acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient rehabilitation providers, using different payment methodologies. Those payment methodologies are complex and are described elsewhere in this report under "Business—Government


Table of Contents

Regulations." The following is a summary of some of the more significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future.

    Budget Control Act of 2011

        The Budget Control Act of 2011, enacted on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap, which are expected to reduce Medicare payments by more than $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2013 and $123 billion over the period of fiscal years 2013 to 2021. On April 1, 2013, a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. ForDuring the three months ended June 30, 2013, this reduction has reduced our net operating revenues and income from operation by approximately $9.5 million. We have estimated that this reduction will reduce our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $16.0 million to $17.0March 31, 2014, we recognized a loss of $2.3 million for the remainder of 2013.

    Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

        In the last few years, there have been significant regulatory changes affecting long term acute care hospitals that have affected our net operating revenuesunamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount and in some cases, caused us to change our operating models and strategies. We have been subject to regulatory changes that occur through the rulemaking procedures of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or "CMS." All Medicare payments to our long term acute care hospitals are made in accordance with a prospective payment system specifically applicable to long term acute care hospitals, referred to as "LTCH-PPS." Proposed rules specificallycertain fees incurred related to LTCHs are generally published in May, finalized in August and effective on October 1st of each year, coinciding with the start of the federal fiscal year.

        The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for long term acute care hospitals which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2014 that affect our patient discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013.

        Fiscal Year 2011.    On August 16, 2010, CMS published the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2011 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2011 was $39,600, which was a decrease from the fiscal year 2010 standard federal rate of $39,897 in effect from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and the fiscal year 2010 standard federal rate of $39,795 that went into effect on April 1, 2010. This update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2011 was based on a market basket increase of 2.5% less a reduction of 2.5% to account for what CMS attributed as an increase in case-mix in prior periods that resulted from changes in documentation and coding practices less an additional market basket reduction of 0.5% as mandated by the PPACA. The final rule established a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2011 of $18,785, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2010 fixed-loss amount of $18,425 in effect from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and the $18,615 that went into effect on April 1, 2010.

        Fiscal Year 2012.    On August 18, 2011, CMS published the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2012 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012). The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2012 was $40,222, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2011 standard federal rate of $39,600. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 1.0%, and less an additional market basket reduction of 0.1% as mandated


Table of Contents

by the PPACA. The final rule established a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2012 of $17,931, which was a decrease from the fixed loss amount in the 2011 fiscal year of $18,785.

        Fiscal Year 2013.    On August 1, 2012, CMS published the final rule updating the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2013 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). Two different standard federal rates apply during fiscal year 2013. The standard federal rate for discharges on or after October 1, 2012 and through December 28, 2012 was set at $40,916 and the standard federal rate for discharges on or after December 29, 2012 for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 is $40,398 both of which are an increase from the fiscal year 2012 standard federal rate of $40,222. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2013 through December 28, 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.7% and less an additional reduction of 0.1% mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"). The standard federal rate for the period of December 29, 2012 through the remainder of fiscal 2013 is further reduced by a portion of the one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed below. The final rule established a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2013 of $15,408, which is a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2012 fiscal year of $17,931.

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 1, 2013, CMS released an advanced copy of the final rule updating the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard federal rate was set at $40,607, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during the period from December 29, 2012 through September 30, 2013 of $40,398. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2014 includes a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the PPACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed below. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $13,314, which is a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2013 fiscal year of $15,408.

    Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The PPACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment to LTCHs. In fiscal year 2014, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.3%. Fiscal years 2015 and 2016 the market basket update will be reduced by 0.2%. Finally, in fiscal years 2017-2019, the market basket update will be reduced by 0.75%. The PPACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

    25 Percent Rule

        The 25 Percent Rule is a downward payment adjustment that applies to Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a co-located hospital or a non-co-located hospital and caused the LTCH to exceed the applicable percentage thresholds for discharged Medicare patients. The SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the PPACA has limited the application of the 25 Percent Rule. CMS adopted through regulations an additional one-year extension of relief from the full application of Medicare admission thresholds. As a result, full implementation of the Medicare admission thresholds will not go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013. After the expiration of the extension, our LTCHs will be subject to a downward payment adjustment for any Medicare patients who were admitted from a co-located or a non-co-located hospital and that exceed the applicable percentage threshold of all Medicare patients discharged from the LTCH during the cost reporting period.

        In the preamble to the proposed update to the Medicare policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2014, CMS seeks public comments on adoption of a payment adjustment based on whether a particular case qualifies as chronically critically ill/medically complex ("CCI/MC"). CMS is considering a change to the LTCH-PPS payment policies that would limit full LTCH-PPS payment to those patients meeting

the definition of CCI/MC while they were in an IPPS hospital inpatient setting and subsequently directly admitted to an LTCH. Payment for non-CCI/MC patients would be made at an "IPPS comparable amount," that is, an amount comparable to what would have been paid under the IPPS calculated as a per diem rate with total payments capped at the full IPPS MS-DRG payment rate. We cannot predict whether CMS will adopt the CCI/MC patient-level criteria in the future or, if adopted, how such criteria would affect the application of the 25 Percent Rule to our LTCHs.

    One-Time Budget Neutrality Adjustment

        The regulations governing LTCH-PPS authorizes CMS to make a one-time adjustment to the standard federal rate to correct any "significant difference between actual payments and estimated payments for the first year" of LTCH-PPS. In the update to the Medicare policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2013, CMS adopted a one-time budget neutrality adjustment that results in a permanent negative adjustment of 3.75% to the LTCH base rate. CMS is implementing the adjustment over a three-year period by applying a factor of 0.98734 to the standard federal rate in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, except that the adjustment did not apply to payments for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2012 through December 28, 2012.

    Short Stay Outlier Policy

        CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a short stay outlier, or "SSO." The SSO rule was further revised adding a category referred to as a "very short stay outlier" for discharges occurring on or after December 29, 2012. For cases with a length of stay that is equal to or less than one standard deviation from the geometric average length of stay for the same MS-DRG under IPPS, referred to as the so-called "IPPS comparable threshold," the rule lowers the LTCH payment to a rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS per diem. SSO cases with covered lengths of stay that exceed the IPPS comparable threshold continue to be paid under the SSO payment policy.

    Moratorium on New LTCHs and New LTCH Beds

        The SCHIP Extension Act imposed a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities subject to certain exceptions. PPACA extended this moratorium by two years. The moratorium expired on December 28, 2012. Unless Congress or CMS take further action, new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds may be established and enrolled in the Medicare program.

    Medicare Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Services

        The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for inpatient rehabilitation facilities which have affected our results of operations during the periods presented in this report, as well as the policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2013 that affect our patient discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2012.

        Fiscal Year 2011.    On July 22, 2010, CMS published an update to the payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2011 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges during fiscal year 2011 was $13,860, which was an increase from the standard payment conversion factor from fiscal year 2010 of $13,627. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2011 included the market basket reduction of 0.25% required by PPACA. CMS also increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2011 to $11,410 from $10,721.


Table of Contents

        Fiscal Year 2012.    On August 5, 2011, CMS published the policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2012 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2011 and through September 30, 2012). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges during fiscal year 2012 was $14,076 which was an increase from the fiscal year 2011 standard payment conversion factor of $13,860. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 1.0%, and less an additional market basket reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2012 to $10,660 from $11,410 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2011. In a notice published September 26, 2011, CMS corrected its calculation of the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2012 to $10,713.

        Fiscal Year 2013.    On July 30, 2012, CMS published the policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2013 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2013 is $14,343, which is an increase from the fiscal year 2012 standard payment conversion factor of $14,076. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2013 includes a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.7%, less an additional reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2013 to $10,466 from $10,713 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2012.

        Fiscal Year 2014.    On July 31, 2013, CMS released an advanced copy of the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2014 is $14,846, which is an increase from the fiscal year 2013 standard payment conversion factor of $14,343. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2014 includes a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less an additional reduction of 0.3% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2014 to $9,272 from $10,466 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2013.

    Classification Criteria for Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities

        In order to be excluded from the hospital inpatient PPS and be paid at the higher IRF-PPS rates, an inpatient hospital must demonstrate that at least 60 percent of its patients meet the criteria specified in the regulations, including the need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation services for one or more of the 13 listed conditions, representing a presumptive need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation. Compliance is demonstrated through either medical review or the "presumptive" method, in which a patient's diagnosis codes are compared to a "presumptive compliance" list.

        CMS has announced that it will remove a number of diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list. According to CMS, these conditions do not demonstrate the need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation services in the absence of additional facts that would have to be pulled from a patient's medical record. As a result, beginning on or after October 1, 2014, a number of diagnosis codes previously on the presumptive compliance list will be removed, including diagnosis codes in the following categories: non specific diagnosis codes, arthritis diagnosis codes, unilateral upper extremity amputations diagnosis, some congenital anomalies diagnosis codes, other miscellaneous diagnosis codes.

    Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

        The PPACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment for IRFs. For fiscal year 2014, the reduction is 0.3%. For fiscal years 2015 and 2016, the reduction is 0.2%. For fiscal years 2017 - 2019, the reduction is 0.75%. The PPACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

    Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

    Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and Sustainable Growth Rate Update

        The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. The Medicare physician fee schedule rates are automatically updated annually based on a formula, called the sustainable growth rate ("SGR") formula, contained in legislation. The SGR formula has resulted in automatic reductions in rates in every year since 2002; however, for each year through 2013 CMS or Congress has taken action to prevent the SGR formula reductions. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 froze Medicare physician fee schedule rates at 2012 levels through December 31, 2013, averting a scheduled 26.5% cut as a result of the SGR formula that would have taken effect on January 1, 2013. On March 5, 2013, CMS estimated a 24.4% reduction in the Medicare physician fee schedule payment rates for calendar year 2014, unless Congress again takes legislative action to prevent the SGR formula reductions from going into effect. If Congress takes such legislative action, the projected impact of the proposed 2014 Medicare physician fee schedule rule on outpatient physical therapy services would be a positive 1% in aggregate for calendar year 2014. However, the amount of payment for each service would vary depending on CPT codes billed and the geographic practice cost indices adjustments among localities.

    Therapy Caps

        Beginning on January 1, 1999, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 subjected certain outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule to annual limits for therapy expenses. Effective January 1, 2013, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services is $1,900 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,900 for occupational therapy services. The per beneficiary caps were $1,880 for calendar year 2012. It is anticipated that in calendar year 2014 the therapy cap will be the 2013 rate increased by the percentage increase in the Medicare Economic Index. The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 extended the annual limits on therapy expenses to hospital outpatient departments for dates of service on or after October 1, 2012. The application of annual limits to hospital outpatient department settings will sunset at the end of 2013 unless Congress takes further action to extend it.

        In the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Congress implemented an exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) is able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions have been available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extends the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through December 31, 2013. Unless Congress extends the exceptions process, the therapy caps will apply to all outpatient therapy services beginning January 1, 2014, except those services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital departments, as noted above.

        The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 made several changes to the exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. For any claim above the annual limit, the claim must contain a modifier indicating that the services are medically necessary and justified by appropriate documentation in the medical record. Effective October 1, 2012, all claims exceeding $3,700 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,700 threshold is applied separately to the combined physical therapy/speech therapy cap and the occupational therapy cap. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extends through December 31, 2013 the requirement that Medicare perform manual medical review of therapy services when an exception is requested for cases in which the beneficiary has reached a specified dollar aggregate threshold, including therapy services furnished in hospital outpatient departments. Effective October 1, 2012, all therapy claims, whether above or below the annual limit, must include the national provider identifier (NPI) of the physician responsible for


Table of Contents

certifying and periodically reviewing the plan of care. As of January 1, 2013, CMS implemented a claims based data collection strategy that is designed to assist in reforming the Medicare payment system for outpatient therapy. Effective January 1, 2013, all therapy claims must include additional codes and modifiers providing information about the beneficiary's functional status at the outset of the therapy episode of care, specified points during treatment, and at the time of discharge. After July 1, 2013, claims submitted without the appropriate codes and modifiers will be returned unpaid.

    Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction

        CMS adopted a multiple procedure payment reduction for therapy services in the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011. This multiple procedure payment reduction policy became effective January 1, 2011 and applies to all outpatient therapy services paid under Medicare Part B. Furthermore, the multiple procedure payment reduction policy applies across all therapy disciplines—occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology. Under the policy, the Medicare program pays 100% of the practice expense component of the therapy procedure or unit of service with the highest Relative Value Unit, and then reduces the payment for the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy procedures or units of service furnished during the same day for the same patient, regardless of whether those therapy services are furnished in separate sessions. In 2011 and 2012, the second and subsequent therapy service furnished during the same day for the same patient was reduced by 20% in office and other non-institutional settings and by 25% in institutional settings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increases the payment reduction in either setting to 50% effective April 1, 2013 for all outpatient therapy services. Our outpatient rehabilitation therapy services are primarily offered in institutional settings and, as such, are subject to the applicable 25% payment reduction in the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy services furnished by us to the same patient on the same day until April 1, 2013 when the payment reduction was increased to 50%.

Critical Accounting Matters

    Merger Transactions

        On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into Select, with Select continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. The merger was completed pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 17, 2004, among EGL Acquisition Corp., Holdings and Select. We refer to the merger and the related transactions collectively as the "Merger."

        As a result of the Merger transactions, the majority of Select's assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair value as of February 25, 2005. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of Select's tangible and identifiable intangible assets was allocated to goodwill. Additionally, a portion of the equity related to our continuing stockholders was recorded at the stockholder's predecessor basis and a corresponding portion of the fair value of the acquired assets was reduced accordingly.

    Sources of Revenue

        Our net operating revenues are derived from a number of sources, including commercial, managed care, private and governmental payors. Our net operating revenues include amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable from each of the applicable payors and the federal Medicare program. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients are generally less than the standard billing rates. We account for the differences between the estimated reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates as contractual adjustments, which we deduct from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues.

        Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program from all segments represented approximately 47%, 48% and 47% of net operating revenues for the years ended


Table of Contents

December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program from all segments represented approximately 46% and 47% of net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Approximately 60%, 61% and 61% of our specialty hospital revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were received for services provided to Medicare patients. Approximately 59% and 60% of our specialty hospital revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were received for services provided to Medicare patients.

        Most of our specialty hospitals receive bi-weekly periodic interim payments from Medicare instead of being paid on an individual claim basis. Under a periodic interim payment methodology, Medicare estimates a hospital's claim volume based on historical trends and makes bi-weekly interim payments to us based on these estimates. Twice a year per hospital, Medicare reconciles the differences between the actual claim data and the estimated payments. To the extent our actual hospital's experience is different from the historical trends used by Medicare to develop the estimate, the periodic interim payment will result in our being either temporarily over-paid or under-paid for our Medicare claims. At each balance sheet date, we record any aggregate under-payment as an account receivable or any aggregate over-payment as a payable to third-party payors on our balance sheet. The timing of when we receive our bi-weekly periodic interim payments, in relation to our balance sheet date, can have an impact on our accounts receivable balance and our days sales outstanding as of the end of any reporting period.

    Contractual Adjustments

        Net operating revenues include amounts estimated by us to be reimbursable by Medicare and Medicaid under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. In addition, we are reimbursed by non-governmental payors using a variety of payment methodologies. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients covered by these programs are generally less than the standard billing rates. Contractual allowances are calculated and recorded through our internally developed systems. In our specialty hospital segment our billing system automatically calculates estimated Medicare reimbursement and associated contractual allowances. For non-governmental payors in our specialty hospital segment, we either manually calculate the contractual allowance for each patient based upon the contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or where we have a relatively homogeneous patient population, we monitor individual payors' historical closed paid claims data and apply those payment rates to the existing patient population. The net payments are converted into per diem rates. The per diem rates are applied to unpaid patient days to determine the expected payment and a contractual adjustment is recorded to adjust the recorded amount to agree with the expected payment. Quarterly, we update our analysis of historical closed paid claims. In our outpatient segment, we perform provision testing, using internally developed systems, whereby we monitor a payors' historical paid claims data and compare it against the associated gross charges. This difference is determined as a percentage of gross charges and is applied against gross billing revenue to determine the contractual allowances for the period. Additionally, these contractual percentages are applied against the gross receivables on the balance sheet to determine that adequate contractual reserves are maintained for the gross accounts receivables reported on the balance sheet. We account for any difference as additional contractual adjustments to gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues in the period that the difference is determined. We believe the processes described above and used in recording our contractual adjustments have resulted in reasonable estimates determined on a consistent basis.

    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        Substantially all of our accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients. Collection of these accounts receivable is our primary source of cash and is critical to our financial performance. Our primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients,


Table of Contents

and deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts are an immaterial portion of our net accounts receivable balance. At June 30, 2013, deductibles, co-payments and self-insured amounts owed by the patient accounted for approximately 0.3% of our net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts. Our general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for a patient admitted to our hospitals, or in the case of our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, we verify insurance coverage prior to their first therapy visit. Our estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by providing a reserve allowance based upon the age of an account balance. Generally we reserve as uncollectible all governmental accounts over 365 days from discharge and non-governmental accounts over 180 days from discharge. This method is monitored based on our historical cash collections experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of our collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay our governmental receivables.

        We estimate bad debts for total accounts receivable within each of our operating units. We believe our policies have resulted in reasonable estimates determined on a consistent basis. We have historically collected substantially all of our third-party insured receivables (net of contractual allowances) which include receivables from governmental agencies. Historically, there has not been a material difference between our bad debt allowances and the ultimate historical collection rates on accounts receivable. We review our overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of net revenue less the provision for bad debts. Uncollected accounts are charged against the reserve when they are turned over to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.

    Insurance

        Under a number of our insurance programs, which include our employee health insurance program and certain components under our property and casualty insurance program, we are liable for a portion of our losses. In these cases we accrue for our losses under an occurrence based principle whereby we estimate the losses that will be incurred by us in a given accounting period and accrue that estimated liability. Where we have substantial exposure, we utilize actuarial methods in estimating the losses. In cases where we have minimal exposure, we will estimate our losses by analyzing historical trends. We monitor these programs quarterly and revise our estimates as necessary to take into account additional information. At June, 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we have recorded a liability of $88.8 million, $92.5 million and $85.7 million, respectively, for our estimated losses under these insurance programs.

    Related Party Transactions

        We are party to various rental and other agreements with companies affiliated with us through common ownership. Our payments to these related parties amounted to $4.0 million for both the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Our payments to these related parties amounted to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30 2013 and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our future commitments are related to commercial office space we lease for our corporate headquarters in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. These future commitments as of December 31, 2012 amount to $36.4 million through 2023. These transactions and commitments are described more fully in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein. The Company's practice is that any such transaction must receive the prior approval of both the audit and compliance committee of the board of directors and a majority of non-interested members of the board of directors. It is the Company's practice that an independent third-party appraisal supporting the amount of rent for such leased space is obtained prior to approving the related party lease of office space.

    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. Our most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2012, which indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets. The majority of our goodwill resides in our specialty hospital reporting unit. In performing periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment condition exists, which results in an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying value. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a


Table of Contents

current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge and adversely affecting our results of operations. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, we have defined our reporting units as specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy, with goodwill having been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005 and based on subsequent acquisitions.

        To determine the fair value of our reporting units, we use a discounted cash flow approach. Included in the discounted cash flow are assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, internal development of specialty hospitals and rehabilitation clinics, future Adjusted EBITDA margin estimates, future general and administrative expense rates and the weighted average cost of capital for our industry. We also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires us to use our knowledge of (1) our industry, (2) our recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for our operations. If any one of the above assumptions changes or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in our estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units.

    Realization of Deferred Tax Assets

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we estimate our income taxes based on our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. We also recognize as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carry forwards. We evaluate the realizability of these deferred tax assets by assessing their valuation allowances and by adjusting the amount of such allowances, if necessary. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits. However, changes in tax codes, statutory tax rates or future taxable income levels could materially impact our valuation of tax accruals and assets and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.

        At December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, we had deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets of approximately $71.6 million and $74.8 million, respectively, principally due to depreciation deductions that have been accelerated for tax purposes. This amount includes approximately $13.3 million and $11.1 million of valuation reserves at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, related primarily to state net operating losses.

    Uncertain Tax Positions

        We record and review quarterly our uncertain tax positions. Reserves for uncertain tax positions are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated. While we believe that our reserves for uncertain tax positions are adequate, the settlement of any such exposures at amounts that differ from current reserves may require us to materially increase or decrease our reserves for uncertain tax positions.


Table of Contents

    Stock Based Compensation

        We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Our share-based compensation arrangements comprise both stock options and restricted share plans. We value employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation method that uses assumptions that relate to the expected volatility of our common stock, the expected dividend yield of our stock, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods or period of service of the option grant. We value restricted stock grants by using the public market price of our stock on the date of grant.

(3)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income (expense). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our

Table of Contents

    operating units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:


Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and

    Net Operating Revenues

        Our net operating revenues increased by 0.8% to $1,506.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,494.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

        Specialty Hospitals.    Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased by 0.6% to $1,117.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,110.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The growth in net operating revenue primarily resulted from increases in


Table of Contents

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our patient volume, increases in our non-Medicare reimbursement rates and increases in revenues that are generated from contracted labor services provided to our joint venture with Baylor Health Care System (the "Baylor JV"). These increases were offset in part bycash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.

    Following is a 2% reduction in our Medicare payments as part of the automatic reductions in federal spending under the Budget Control Act of 2011. The reductions in our Medicare net operating revenue due to the Budget Control Act of 2011 were $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our patient days increased 0.3% to 681,037 days for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our occupancy percentage was 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our average net revenue per patient day decreased to $1,538 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,539 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and this decrease principally resulted from decreases in our average Medicare net revenue per patient day as a result of the 2% reduction in our Medicare payments as part of the automatic reductions in federal spending mandated under the Budget Control Act of 2011, offset in part by increases in our non-Medicare reimbursement rates.

            Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our outpatient rehabilitation segment net operating revenues increased 1.4% to $389.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $383.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, more than offsetting reductions in net operating revenues of $0.4 million due to the automatic reduction of our Medicare payments mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the $1.7 million impact of the MPPR Reduction. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased 4.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was related to growth in both our number of visits and net revenue per visit. The number of visits in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 2,380,221 visits compared to 2,318,759 visits for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net revenue per visit in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased 1.0% to $104 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $103 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our contract services business experienced a decrease in net operating revenues of approximately $6.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, which principally resulted from the termination of contracts.

      Operating Expenses

            Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by $26.6 million to $1,304.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,277.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, principally due to increases in our specialty hospital segment. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 86.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 85.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, were $1,250.6 million or 83.0%reconciliation of net operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 comparedincome to $1,224.3 million or 81.9% of net operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The principal cause of the increase in cost of services as a percentage of net operating revenues resulted from inflationary increases in labor costs in our specialty hospitals and the loss of net operating revenues associated with the 2% reduction in our Medicare payments as part of the automatic reductions in federal spending mandated under the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the MPPR Reduction discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues" with no offsetting reduction in costs. Facility rent expense, which is a component of cost of services, was $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $61.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses were 2.4% of net operating revenue or $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2.2% of net operating revenue or $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were favorably impacted by a gain on the sale of a building; excluding this gain, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would have been 2.4% of net operating revenue. Our bad debt expense was $18.2 million or 1.2% of net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $20.4 million or 1.4% of net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

      Adjusted EBITDA

            Specialty Hospitals. Adjusted EBITDA foras utilized by us in reporting our specialty hospitals decreased 6.1% to $189.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $202.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins for the segment decreased to 17.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals was primarily the result of the 2% reduction in our Medicare payments as part of the automatic reductions in federal spending mandated under the Budget Control Act of 2011 as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues," which reductions were accompanied by no offsetting reduction in costs, and increases in our operating expenses discussed above under "Operating Expenses."performance.

        Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment increased 1.2% to $48.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, more than offsetting reductions in net operating revenues of $0.4 million due to the automatic reduction of our Medicare payments mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the $1.7 million impact of the MPPR Reduction. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 12.6% for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The increase in the Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment is principally due to growth in net operating revenues of our outpatient rehabilitation clinics discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues." The Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased by $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was 14.2% for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Adjusted EBITDA in our contract services business decreased by $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Adjusted EBITDA margins for our contract services business declined to 7.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

        Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The lower Adjusted EBITDA loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of a building during the same period last year, as described under "Operating Expenses."

      Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

            For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $1.6 million compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries resulted from decreases in earnings contributed from the Baylor JV and losses incurred by start-up companies where we own a minority interest.

      Interest Expense

            Interest expense was $43.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was principally due to increased borrowings that were used to refinance debt held by Holdings in both the third quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.

      Income Taxes

            We recorded income tax expense of $42.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 38.3%. We recorded income tax expense of $57.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 38.6%. Select Medical Corporation is part of the consolidated federal tax return for Select Medical Holdings Corporation. We allocate income taxes between Select and Holdings for purposes of financial statement presentation. Because Holdings is a passive investment company incorporated in Delaware, it does not incur any state income tax expense or benefit on its specific income or loss and, as such, receives a tax allocation equal to the federal statutory rate of 35% on its specific income or loss. Based upon the relative size of Holdings' income or loss, this can cause the effective tax rate for Select to differ from the effective tax rate for the consolidated company.

            The decline in our effective tax rate has resulted from an increase in earnings of our consolidated subsidiaries taxed as pass-through entities where we only record income taxes on our share of the income, offset in part by an increase in our state effective tax rates that has resulted from a higher proportion of our income being generated in states with higher tax rates.

      Non-Controlling Interests

            Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

    Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

      Net Operating Revenues

            Our net operating revenues increased by 5.2% to $2,949.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2,804.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

            Specialty Hospitals.    Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased by 4.9% to $2,197.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2,095.5 million for the year December 31, 2011. The growth in net operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulted from increases in patient volumes, increases in both Medicare and non-Medicare reimbursement rates and revenues generated from contracted labor services provided to the Baylor JV. Our patient days increased 1.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 to 1,345,430 days for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our specialty hospital occupancy was 71% for both the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Our average net revenue per patient day was $1,534 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1,497 for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we experienced increases in both our Medicare and non-Medicare net revenue per


    Table of Contents

    patient day from the prior year. The increase in our Medicare net revenue per patient day was due to increases in our Medicare base rate. The increases in our non-Medicare net revenue per patient day resulted from increases in our non-government payment rates that have occurred through contract renewal and from Medicaid bonus payments we received during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

            Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues increased 6.0% to $751.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $708.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased 3.0% to $561.4 million compared to $545.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was principally related to volume growth in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics and revenues we generated from contract labor services provided to the Baylor JV. The number of patient visits in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased 2.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012 to 4,568,821 visits compared to 4,470,061 visits for the year ended December 31, 2011.

    Net revenue per visit in our ownedis calculated by dividing outpatient rehabilitation clinics was $103 for bothdirect patient service clinic revenue by the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Ourtotal number of visits. For purposes of this computation, outpatient rehabilitation direct patient service clinic revenue does not include contract services business increased net operating revenues 16.0% to $189.9 million compared to $163.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which primarily resulted from the addition of new contracts in the fourth quarter of 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2012, our outpatient rehabilitation operations in the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states were adversely affected by hurricane Sandy. We currently estimate that the lost patient revenue from this event in the three months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $3.9 million, of which $3.2 million occurred in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics and $0.7 million occurred in our contract services business.

      Operating Expenses

            Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by 5.2% to $2,548.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2,422.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 86.4% for both the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, were $2,443.6 million or 82.9% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2,308.6 million or 82.3% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of net operating revenues resulted primarily from increased relative labor costs in both our specialty hospital and our outpatient rehabilitation segments. Our specialty hospitals experienced an increase in relative labor costs due to the labor costs associated with the Baylor JV services agreement and increased staffing costs during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment experienced an increase in relative labor costs associated with the Baylor JV services agreement and increased relative staffing costs of providing patient services in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics. Additionally, our outpatient rehabilitation segment experienced higher relative labor costs during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of hurricane Sandy, as we incurred continuing labor costs in our affected outpatient rehabilitation clinics without corresponding revenue. Facility rent expense, which is a component of cost of services, was $124.2 million for year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $118.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. General and administrative expenses were 2.2% of net operating revenue or $66.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2.2% of net operating revenue or $62.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in general and administrative expense resulted principally from increases in executive compensation. Our bad debt expense was $39.1 million or 1.3% of net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $51.3 million or 1.8% for the year ended December 31. 2011. The decline in our bad debt expense was attributed to our favorable collections experience of accounts receivable in both our operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

      Adjusted EBITDA

            Specialty Hospitals.    Our Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals increased by 5.2% to $381.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $362.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins for the segment increased to 17.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 17.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals was primarily the result of both rate improvements and patient volume increases discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues" and a reduction in bad debt expense discussed above under "Operating Expenses." The increase in the Adjusted EBITDA margin is principally due to the decline in bad debt expense, offset in part by increases in cost of services as discussed above under "Operating Expenses."

            Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment increased 3.8% to $87.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 11.6% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 11.8% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation segment was adversely affected by hurricane Sandy as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues." The Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased by $1.3 million to $72.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $71.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics decreased to 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 13.1% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in our Adjusted EBITDA margin in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics was principally due to the incurrence of labor costs in the outpatient rehabilitation clinics affected by hurricane Sandy without any corresponding patient revenue as discussed above under "Net Operating Revenues." The Adjusted EBITDA in our contract services business increased by $1.8 million to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Adjusted EBITDA margins for our contract services business declined to 7.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA margins for our contract services business was principally due to increased labor costs associated with new business and lower productivity resulting from regulatory changes that became effective on October 1, 2011.

            Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $62.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $60.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and is principally related to increases in executive compensation that are a component of our general and administrative expense.

      Income from Operations

            For the year ended December 31, 2012 we had income from operations of $336.9 million compared to $310.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in our income from operations resulted principally from increases in our operating performance of our specialty hospital and outpatient rehabilitation segments described above and a decline in depreciation and amortization expense.

      Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

            On September 12, 2012 we redeemed an aggregate of $275.0 million principal amount of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes at a redemption price of 101.271% of the principal amount. We recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 in connection with the redemption of the senior subordinated notes, which included the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and call premiums.


    Table of Contents

            On June 1, 2011, we refinanced our senior secured credit facility. A portion of the proceeds from this transaction were used to repurchase and retire $266.5 million of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes. We recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which included the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and tender premiums.

      Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

            For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $7.7 million compared to equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries resulted principally from an increase in the income contribution from the Baylor JV.

      Interest Expense

            Interest expense was $83.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the refinancing of $150.0 million of Holdings' debt, for which we were not previously obligated, through indebtedness incurred under our new senior secured credit facility on June 1, 2011.

      Income Taxes

            We recorded income tax expense of $93.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 36.7%. We recorded income tax expense of $81.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 38.1%. Select Medical Corporation is part of the consolidated federal tax return for Select Medical Holdings Corporation. We allocate income taxes between Select and Holdings for purposes of financial statement presentation. Because Holdings is a passive investment company incorporated in Delaware, it does not incur any state income tax expense or benefit on its specific income or loss and, as such, receives a tax allocation equal to the federal statutory rate of 35% on its specific income or loss. Based upon the relative size of Holdings' income or loss, this can cause the effective tax rate for Select to differ from the effective tax rate for the consolidated company.

            The decline in our effective tax rate is primarily a consequence of an Internal Revenue Service penalty abatement and a lower effective state tax rate.

      Non-Controlling Interests

            Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

    Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

      Net Operating Revenues

            Our net operating revenues increased by 17.3% to $2,804.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2,390.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

            Specialty Hospitals.    Our specialty hospital net operating revenues increased by 23.1% to $2,095.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,702.2 million for the year December 31, 2010. The Regency hospitals acquired on September 1, 2010 contributed $339.6 million of net operating revenues in 2011 and provided $245.7 million of the $393.4 million increase in net operating revenues for 2011. The remaining increase primarily resulted from an increase in patient volumes in our other specialty hospitals. Our patient days increased 18.9% to 1,330,890 days for 2011, which was principally related to the addition of the Regency hospitals. The Regency hospitals


    Table of Contents

    contributed a net increase in patient days of 146,065 days. Excluding the effect of the Regency hospitals, patient days would have increased 6.2% in 2011 over 2010 as a result of similar increases in both Medicare and non-Medicare volumes. The occupancy percentage increased to 71% for 2011 from 67% for 2010. Our average net revenue per patient day was $1,497 for 2011 compared to $1,474 for 2010. The increase in our net revenue per patient day was principally due to increases in our average Medicare net revenue per patient day.

            Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues increased 3.0% to $708.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $688.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The net operating revenues generated by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 2011 grew approximately 2.3% compared to 2010. The increase was principally related to revenues we are generating from services provided to the Baylor JV. The number of patient visits in our owned outpatient rehabilitation clinics decreased 2.1% for 2011 to 4,470,061 visits compared to 4,567,153 visits for 2010. The decrease in visits, which also slowed our revenue growth, resulted primarily from the 18 clinics in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex that were contributed to the Baylor JV, which is accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture. Net revenue per visit in our clinics increased 2.0% to $103 for 2011, compared to $101 for 2010. Our contract services business experienced an increase in net operating revenues of approximately 5.4% compared to 2010 which resulted from the addition of new contracts.

      Operating Expenses

            Our operating expenses include our cost of services, general and administrative expense and bad debt expense. Our operating expenses increased by $336.9 million to $2,422.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2,085.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. As a percentage of our net operating revenues, our operating expenses were 86.4% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 87.2% for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our cost of services, a major component of which is labor expense, were $2,308.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,982.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The principal cause of the increase in cost of services resulted from the addition of the Regency hospitals. Additionally facility rent expense, which is a component of cost of services, was $118.4 million for year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $118.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. General and administrative expenses were 2.2% of net operating revenue or $62.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 2.6% of net operating revenue or $62.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2010, our general and administrative expenses included $9.0 million of non-recurring costs related to the transition and closing of the Regency corporate office and a $4.8 million charge due to an increase in employee healthcare costs. Additionally, in 2010 there was no incentive compensation paid to our executive officers. In 2011, our general and administrative expenses included increased legal expenses of approximately $7.8 million primarily related to the Columbus qui tam matter and increased compensation costs of approximately $8.1 million related to executive incentive compensation. These cost increases in 2011 were offset by gains of $5.4 million on the sale of assets. Our bad debt expense as a percentage of net operating revenues remained relatively stable at 1.8% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 1.7% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

      Adjusted EBITDA

            Specialty Hospitals.    Adjusted EBITDA for our specialty hospitals increased by 27.3% to $362.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $284.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 17.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 16.7% for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Regency hospitals acquired on September 1, 2010 contributed $45.9 million of the $77.8 million increase in specialty hospital Adjusted EBITDA for 2011. Excluding the effect of the


    Table of Contents

    Regency hospitals in both periods, the Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 18.0% and 17.7% for 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition to the contribution from the Regency hospitals, the increase in the Adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of our specialty hospitals was primarily the result of an increase in patient volumes and an increase in our Medicare net revenue per patient day described above under "Net Operating Revenues—Specialty Hospitals."

            Outpatient Rehabilitation.    Adjusted EBITDA for our outpatient rehabilitation segment was $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $83.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 11.8% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 12.2% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The principal reason for the decrease in the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the segment was related to our contract services business. We experienced a decline in the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin of our contract services business that resulted from (1) the loss of significant contracts during the second quarter of 2010 that had generated higher Adjusted EBITDA margins and (2) higher labor costs for the treatment models required by RUGS IV/MDS 3.0 rules that became effective on October 1, 2010. The Adjusted EBITDA in our outpatient rehabilitation clinics increased by $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, our Adjusted EBITDA margins for our outpatient rehabilitation clinics grew to 13.0% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in our rehabilitation clinics was principally due to an improvement in the performance in the clinics acquired in 2007 from HealthSouth Corporation and the increase in our net revenue per visit.

            Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $60.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $61.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is primarily related to our general and administrative expenses, as described under "Operating Expenses."

      Income from Operations

            For the year ended December 31, 2011 we had income from operations of $310.7 million compared to $236.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in income from operations resulted primarily from the Regency hospitals acquired on September 1, 2010 which contributed $41.3 million of the $74.6 million increase in income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, and improved operating performance at our other specialty hospitals.

      Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

            On June 1, 2011 we refinanced our senior secured credit facility. We recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 which included the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and tender premiums.

      Interest Expense

            Interest expense was $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $84.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from the expiration of interest rate swaps in 2010 that carried higher fixed interest rates, which was offset in part by the refinancing of $150.0 million of Holdings' debt, for which we were not previously obligated, through indebtedness incurred under our new senior secured credit facility on June 1, 2011.

      Income Taxes

            We recorded income tax expense of $81.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 38.1%. We recorded income tax expense of $51.4 million


    Table of Contents

    for the year ended December 31, 2010. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 33.8%. Select Medical Corporation is part of the consolidated federal tax return for Select Medical Holdings Corporation. We allocate income taxes between Select and Holdings for purposes of financial statement presentation. Because Holdings is a passive investment company incorporated in Delaware, it does not incur any state income tax expense or benefit on its specific income or loss and, as such, receives a tax allocation equal to the federal statutory rate of 35% on its specific income or loss. Based upon the relative size of Holdings' income or loss, this can cause the effective tax rate for Select to differ from the effective tax rate for the consolidated company. The analysis in the following paragraph discusses the change in our consolidated tax rate.

            On a consolidated basis with Holdings, we recorded income tax expense of $71.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 38.6%. We recorded income tax expense of $41.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The expense represented an effective tax rate of 33.6%. Although our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 approximates our statutory tax rate, the rate was affected by two significant items that offset each other in the effective rate. We experienced an increase in our effective tax rate from a difference between the tax accounting basis and the financial accounting basis associated with a hospital exchange that occurred in early 2011 and an increase in our reserves for uncertain tax positions resulting from the settlement costs associated with the Columbus matter. These increases were offset by a release in reserves for uncertain tax positions associated with the tax basis of an acquisition we consummated in 1999. During 2011, additional information was discovered that further supported the tax basis of entities acquired through this acquisition and resulted in a change in the estimates related to this tax uncertainty. Our low effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 is below the statutory rate due to the reversal of certain valuation allowances that had been provided on losses in previous years. A substantial portion of this reversal in our valuation allowance relates to our ability to utilize a Federal capital loss generated in 2007 to offset a taxable capital gain on a recently completed transaction.

      Non-Controlling Interests

            Non-controlling interests in consolidated earnings were $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The decline in operating cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 is due to the timing of the periodic interim payments we receive from Medicare


    Table of Contents

    for the services provided at our specialty hospitals and an acceleration in the payment of accrued interest resulting from our debt refinancings.

            Our days sales outstanding were 51 days at June 30, 2013 compared to 51 days at June 30, 2012 and 45 days at December 31, 2012. The increase in days sales outstanding between December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 is primarily related to the timing of the periodic interim payments we receive from Medicare for the services provided at our specialty hospitals.

            Investing activities used $56.8 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The principal use of cash included $28.0 million related to the purchase of property and equipment and $28.7 million related principally to investments in unconsolidated businesses. Investing activities used $21.6 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The principal use of cash included $27.9 million related to the purchase of property and equipment and $10.0 million related primarily to an additional investment in the Baylor JV. This use of cash was offset by $16.5 million in proceeds related to the sale of a building.

            Financing activities used $2.1 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The financing activities included cash inflows related to $600.0 million of proceeds from the 6.375% senior notes issued on May 28, 2013. The proceeds of the senior notes were used to repay $587.0 million of our senior secured credit facility term loans and fund certain transaction costs amounting to $14.4 million. In addition, cash of $298.5 million was provided through the issuance of senior secured credit facility term loans which was used to pay dividends to Holdings to fund the redemption of $167.3 million principal amount of Holdings senior floating rate notes, repurchase $70.0 million of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes and pay $4.2 million of transaction costs related to the financing transactions completed during the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 we paid dividends to Holdings to fund $14.0 million of dividends paid to Holdings' common stockholders, $10.0 million to fund Holding's repurchase of common stock and $5.6 million to fund interest payments on Holdings debt. We also made net repayments on the revolving portion of our credit facility of $25.0 million, paid $5.6 million for credit facility term loan principal maturities and received net proceeds from other debt of $2.2 million. We had proceeds of $1.6 million from bank overdrafts and used $1.5 million to make distributions to non-controlling interests. Financing activities used $92.9 million of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The primary uses of cash related to net payments under our senior secured credit facility of $44.3 million, dividends paid to Holdings to fund interest payments and stock repurchases of $52.0 million and distributions to non-controlling interests of $1.7 million. These uses were offset by net borrowings of other debt of $0.8 million, proceeds of $0.5 million from the issuance of common stock and proceeds from bank overdrafts of $3.7 million.

    Table of Contents

            Operating activities provided $309.4 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities is principally related to a reduction in our days sales outstanding. Our days sales outstanding were 45 days at December 31, 2012 compared to 53 days at December 31, 2011. The reduction in days sales outstanding is primarily due to timing of the periodic interim payments we receive from Medicare for the services provided at our specialty hospitals and a reduction in our non-Medicare receivables.

            Operating activities provided $240.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 is principally related to the increase in our income from operations. Additionally, we were able to offset the cash impact of an increase in our tax expense through an one-time deferral of income effectuated through a tax accounting change related to how we recognize our specialty hospital Medicare revenues for tax reporting purposes. This tax accounting change had the effect of deferring $16.5 million of tax liability in 2011. Our days sales outstanding were 53 days at December 31, 2011 compared to 51 days at December 31, 2010. The increase is principally related to the timing and settlement of our Medicare accounts receivable for services provided at our specialty hospitals.

            Operating activities provided $170.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities in comparison to our operating cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 is principally related to the increase in our accounts receivable at December 31, 2010. Our days sales outstanding were 51 days at December 31, 2010 compared to 49 days at December 31, 2009 and falls within our historical range of days sales outstanding.

            Investing activities used $72.4 million, $54.7 million and $217.0 million of cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Of this amount, we incurred acquisition related payments of $6.0 million, $0.9 million and $165.8 million, respectively in 2012, 2011 and 2010. The acquisition payments for 2012 related principally to several small acquisitions of clinics in our outpatient rehabilitation segment. The acquisition payments for 2011 relate primarily to small acquisitions of outpatient businesses and specialty hospitals. The acquisition payments in 2010 related principally to the acquisition of Regency which was $165.6 million. Investing activities also used cash for the purchases of property and equipment of $68.2 million, $46.0 million and $51.8 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. We sold business units and real property which generated $16.5 million, $7.9 million and $0.6 million in cash during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Investment in businesses relates to equity investments in unconsolidated businesses. The $14.7 million of investments for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $15.7 million of investments for the year ended December 31, 2011 related primarily to our investment in the Baylor JV partnership units. In addition, Select purchased minority investment interests in other healthcare related businesses that provide specialized technology, services to healthcare entities, and other healthcare services during the year ended December 31, 2012.

            Financing activities used $208.9 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2012. The primary use of cash related to dividends paid to Holdings of $268.5 million principally to fund the payment of dividends to Holdings' stockholders on December 12, 2012, fund Holdings' interest payments, and the repurchase of Holdings' common stock. We also used $6.5 million for debt issuances costs and paid $3.3 million in distributions to non-controlling interests, offset in part by net borrowings of debt of $66.4 million, $1.2 million of proceeds from bank overdrafts and $1.8 million of equity investment made by Holdings.

            Financing activities used $177.6 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2011. The primary use of cash related to dividends paid to Holdings of $245.7 million to fund interest payments, repurchase of common stock and the repurchase of all $150.0 million principal amount of Holdings' 10% senior subordinated notes. We also had $18.6 million of cash flow to fund debt issuance costs,


    Table of Contents

    repay bank overdrafts of $2.2 million and fund $4.6 million in distributions to non-controlling interests. These uses of cash were offset by net borrowings of debt of $93.2 million.

            Financing activities used $32.4 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010. The primary usage of cash was related to dividends paid to Holdings of $69.7 million to fund Holdings' interest payments and Holdings' stock repurchases and was offset by a net borrowing under our revolving senior secured credit facility.

      Capital Resources

            We had net working capital of $135.4 million at June 30, 2013 compared to net working capital of $63.2 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in net working capital is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable. We had net working capital of $63.2 million at December 31, 2012 compared to net working capital of $97.3 million at December 31, 2011.

            On June 1, 2011, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement that originally provided for $1.15 billion in senior secured credit facilities comprised of an $850.0 million, seven-year term loan facility, which we refer to as the "original term loan" and a $300.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a $75.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of our current domestic subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by our future domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of our capital stock, the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the capital stock of our foreign subsidiaries, if any. We used borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities to refinance all of our outstanding indebtedness under our then existing senior secured credit facilities, to repurchase $266.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and to repay all of Holdings' 10% senior subordinated notes due 2015.

            On August 13, 2012, we entered into an additional credit extension amendment to our senior secured credit facilities providing for a $275.0 million additional term loan tranche, which we refer to as the "series A term loan" to us at the same interest rate and with the same term as the original term loan. We used the net proceeds from the series A term loan and cash to repurchase $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015.

            Borrowings under the original term loan and the series A term loan incurred interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%. Adjusted LIBO at no time was less than 1.75%.

            Borrowings under the revolving credit facility incur interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO plus a percentage ranging from 2.75% to 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case based on our leverage ratio (the ratio of indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities).

            On February 20, 2013, we entered into an additional credit extension amendment to our senior secured credit facilities providing for a $300.0 million additional term loan tranche, which we refer to as the "series B term loan". We used borrowings under the series B term loan to redeem all of our outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015, to finance Holdings redemption of all of Holdings' senior floating rate notes due 2015 and to reduce a portion of the balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

            Borrowings under the series B term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25%. The series B term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in aggregate annual


    Table of Contents

    amounts equal to $3.0 million. The balance of the series B term loan will be payable on February 20, 2016.

            On June 3, 2013, we amended our existing senior secured credit facilities in order to:

      extend the maturity date on $293.3 million of our $300.0 million revolving credit facility from June 1, 2016 to March 1, 2018;

      convert the remaining original term loan and series A term loan to a series C term loan and lower the interest rate payable on the series C term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.00%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, and amend the provision of the series C term loan from providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.75% to providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.00%; and

      amend the restrictive covenants governing the senior secured credit facilities in order to allow for unlimited restricted payments so long as there is no event of default under the senior secured credit facilities and the total pro forma ratio of total indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in our senior secured credit facilities) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

            At June 30, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $811.1 million (net of unamortized original issue discounts of $7.2 million) under the term loans and borrowings of $105.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the revolving loan portion of our senior secured credit facilities. We had $153.1 million of availability under our revolving loan facility (after giving effect to $41.9 million of outstanding letters of credit) at June 30, 2013.

            The applicable margin percentage for borrowings under our revolving loan is subject to change based upon the ratio of our leverage ratio (as defined in our senior secured credit facilities). The applicable interest rate for revolving loans as of June 30, 2013 was (1) Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75% for alternate base rate loans and (2) Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75% for Adjusted LIBO rate loans.

            "Adjusted LIBO" is defined as, with respect to any interest period, the London interbank offered rate for such interest period, adjusted for any applicable statutory reserve requirements; provided that Adjusted LIBO, when used in reference to the series C term loan, will at no time be less than 1.00%.

            "Alternate Base Rate" is defined as the highest of (a) the administrative agent's Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO from time to time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00%.

            We will be required to prepay borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities with (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens subject to a first lien intercreditor agreement, (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (3) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit facilities) if our leverage ratio is greater than 3.75 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 and greater than 3.25 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal year. We will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00.

            The senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facilities), which is tested quarterly, and prohibits us from making capital expenditures in excess of $125.0 million in any fiscal year (subject to a 50% carry-over provision). As of June 30, 2013, we were required to maintain our leverage ratio at less than 4.50 to 1.00, and our leverage ratio was 3.93 to 1.00. Failure to comply with


    Table of Contents

    these covenants would result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude us from making further borrowings under the revolving credit facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities.

            The senior secured credit facilities also contain a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The senior secured credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due, cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

            On June 1, 2012, we used a portion of the proceeds from our senior secured credit facilities to repurchase $266.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes. On September 12, 2012, we used the proceeds of the series A term loans and cash on hand to redeem an additional $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 75/8% senior subordinated notes and on March 22, 2013, we used the borrowings under the series B term loan to redeem the remaining outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due.

            On May 28, 2013, we issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2021. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our wholly owned subsidiaries. On May 28, 2013, we used the proceeds of the senior notes to pay a portion of the amounts outstanding on the original term loan and the series A term loan, and to pay related fees and expenses.

            Interest on the senior notes accrues at the rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2013. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The senior notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our direct or indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries other than certain non-guarantor subsidiaries.

            We may redeem some or all of the senior notes prior to June 1, 2016 by paying a "make-whole" premium. We may redeem some or all of the senior notes on or after June 1, 2016 at specified redemption prices. In addition, prior to June 1, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the senior notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price of 106.375% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. We are obligated to offer to repurchase the senior notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

            The Indenture relating to the senior notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to (i) grant liens on its assets, (ii) make dividend payments, other distributions or other restricted payments, (iii) incur restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (iv) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (v) merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (vi) incur additional indebtedness, (vii) make investments, (viii) sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries, (ix) use the proceeds from sales of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, and (x) enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Indenture requires, among other things, us to provide financial and current reports to holders of the senior notes or file such reports electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.


    Table of Contents

            In connection with the issuance of the senior notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement on May 28, 2013 with certain guarantors of the notes named therein and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of itself and the other initial purchasers named therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to file an exchange offer registration statement to exchange the senior notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act unless the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or the policy of the SEC. We have also agreed to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of notes under certain circumstances. We agreed to file the exchange offer registration statement with the SEC within 150 days of the issue date of the senior notes and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the exchange offer registration statement declared effective within 240 days of the issue date and to complete the exchange offer with respect to the senior notes within 30 days of effectiveness. In addition, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file the shelf registration statement on or prior to the later of (i) 120 days after a filing obligation arises and (ii) 270 days after the issue date, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 210 days after such filing. If we fails to satisfy its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the senior notes under certain circumstances.

            We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

            Holdings' board of directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $350.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. The program will remain in effect until March 31, 2014, unless extended by the board of directors. Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings deems appropriate. Holdings is funding this program with our cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Holdings repurchased 1,115,691 shares at a cost of approximately $10.0 million, an average cost per share of $8.95, which includes transaction costs. Since the inception of the program through June 30, 2013, Holdings has repurchased 23,606,080 shares at a cost of approximately $173.6 million, or $7.36 per share, which includes transaction costs.

            We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility will be sufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months.

            We routinely pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with significant health systems, and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. With the expiration on December 28, 2012 of the moratorium on new LTCHs and new LTCH beds, we are evaluating the addition of new LTCH beds at certain of our hospitals. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas that we currently serve where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. In addition to our development activities, we may grow our network of specialty hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions.

      Dividend

            On August 7, 2013, Holdings' board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share. The dividend will be payable on or about August 30, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 20, 2013. Holdings intends to fund this dividend through the use of our cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

    Inflation

            The healthcare industry is labor intensive and susceptible to wage increases during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. In addition, suppliers which include pharmaceutical costs, pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. Our ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to federal and state laws that established fixed reimbursement rates. In recent years, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations. We cannot predict the impact that future economic conditions may have on our ability to contain or offset future cost increases.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," ("Update 2012-02"). In accordance with Update 2012-02, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, the entity will be required to perform the quantitative impairment test. Update 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, early adoption is permitted. Update 2012-02 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

            In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("Update 2011-05") that improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Update 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either method, adjustments must be displayed for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income ("OCI") to net income, in both net income and OCI. Update 2011-05 does not change the current option for presenting components of OCI gross or net of the effect of income taxes, provided that such tax effects are presented in the statement in which OCI is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, Update 2011-05 does not affect the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. Update 2011-05 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively. With the adoption of Update 2011-05, the Company opted to change its presentation of its components of other comprehensive income to a single continuous statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK FACTORS

    You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. The actual occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the value of the new notes could decline substantially, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

    Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

    If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and may become less liquid.

            We aredid not register the resale of the old notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, nor do we intend to after the exchange offer. In general, you may only offer or sell the old notes if the resale is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. If you do not exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to such restrictions on transfer and you may be unable to sell the old notes.

            Because we anticipate that most holders of old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any old notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any old notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the old notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your old notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your old notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes will be adversely affected.

    If an active trading market for the new notes does not develop, the liquidity and value of the new notes could be harmed.

            In connection with the initial placements of the old notes and 2013 notes, the initial purchasers informed us that they intended to make a market in the notes (including the new notes) following completion of such offering. However, the initial purchasers may cease their market-making at any time. An active public market for the new notes may not develop or, if developed, may not continue. If an active public market does not develop or is not maintained, you may not be able to sell your new notes at their fair market value or at all.

            Even if a public market for the new notes develops, trading prices will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rate riskrates, our operating results and the market for similar securities. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the new notes. Declines in the market for debt securities generally may also materially and adversely affect the liquidity of the new notes, independent of our financial performance.

    You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new notes.

            The new notes will be issued in exchange for the old notes only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes or a book-entry confirmation related thereto, a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message and all other required documentation. If you want to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. None of us, Holdings, nor the exchange agent are under any duty to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. Old notes that


    Table of Contents

    are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender the old notes in the exchange offer to participate in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relatesany resale transaction. For additional information, please refer to the loans outstandingsections entitled "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution" later in this prospectus.

    Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the new notes.

            Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under "Plan of Distribution," you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your new notes. In these cases, if you transfer any new note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

    Risks Related to the New Notes

    Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business, which could prevent us from generating the future cash flow needed to fulfill our obligations under the notes.

            As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $1,612.2 million of total indebtedness on a consolidated basis. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

      requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

      increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

      limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;

      makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, we had $818.3 million (excluding unamortized original issue discount) in term loans outstanding under our senior secured credit facility and $105.0 million in revolving loans outstanding under our senior secured credit facility, which bear interestfacilities are at variable rates. Each eighth point changerates;

      limits our ability to obtain additional financing in interest rates on the variable rate portionfuture for working capital or other purposes, such as raising the funds necessary to repurchase all notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of specified changes of control in our long-term indebtedness would result inownership; and

      places us at a $1.2 million annual change in interest expense. However, because the variable interest rate for an aggregate $519.8 million in series C term loan is subjectcompetitive disadvantage compared to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floorour competitors that have less indebtedness.

            See "Capitalization" and "Description of 1.00% until the Adjusted LIBO Rate exceeds 1.00%, our interest rate on this indebtedness is effectively fixed at 4.00%.Other Indebtedness."

    OUR BUSINESS
    Restrictions imposed by our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes limit our ability to engage in or enter into business, operating and financing arrangements, which could prevent us from taking advantage of potentially profitable business opportunities.

            The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes, may adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. For example, our senior secured credit facilities restrict our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

      Overviewincur or guarantee additional debt and issue or sell preferred stock;

      pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

      make certain acquisitions or investments;

      incur or permit to exist certain liens;

      enter into transactions with affiliates;

      merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company;

      transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

      redeem subordinated debt;

      incur capital expenditures;

      incur contingent obligations;

      incur obligations that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to us; and

      create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries.

            Our senior secured credit facilities also require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control. A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our senior secured credit facilities. In the event of any default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable, to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings or to prevent us from making debt service payments on the notes, any of which would be an event of default under the notes. See "Description of the Notes" and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

    Despite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks described above.

            We believe that we are one of the largest operators of both specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinicsour subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the United States basedfuture. Although our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the new notes contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of facilities.qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of June 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we operated 109 long term acute care hospitals, or "LTCHs" and 14 inpatient rehabilitationhad $152.7 million of revolving loan availability under our senior secured credit facilities or "IRFs" in 28 states, and 988 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 32 states and(after giving effect to $42.3 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition, to the District of Columbia. We also provide medical rehabilitation services on a contract basis at nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care centers, schools and worksites. We began operations in 1997 under the leadership ofextent new debt is added to our current management team.

            We manage our company through two business segments, our specialty hospital segment and our outpatient rehabilitation segment. We had net operating revenues of $2,949.0 million forsubsidiaries' current debt levels, the year ended December 31, 2012. Of this total, we earned approximately 75% of our net operating revenues from our specialty hospital segment and approximately 25% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment. Our specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute care patients and hospitals designed to serve patients who require intensive inpatient medical rehabilitation care. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract therapy locations that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services.

    Specialty Hospitals

            We are a leading operator of specialty hospitals in the United States. As of June 30, 2013, we operated 123 facilities throughout 28 states, including 109 LTCHs, all of which are currently certified by the federal Medicare program as LTCHs, and 14 acute medical rehabilitation hospitals, 13 of which are currently certified by the federal Medicare program as IRFs and one of which is going through the process to obtain Medicare certification. For the years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, approximately 61%, 61% and 60%, respectively, of the net operating revenues of our specialty hospital segment came from Medicare reimbursement. As of June 30, 2013, we operated a total of 5,181 available licensed beds and employed approximately 20,600 people in our specialty hospital segment, consisting primarily of registered or licensed nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists.

            Patients are typically admitted to our specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders and cancer. Given their complex medical needs, these patients generally require a longer length of stay than patients in a general acute care hospital and benefit from being treated in a specialty hospital that is designed to meet their unique medical needs. The average length of stay for patients in our specialty hospitals was 27 days in our LTCHs and 15 days in our IRFs, for the year ended December 31, 2012.substantial leverage risks described above would increase.

We believe that we provide our services on a more cost-effective basis than a typical general acute care hospital because we provide a much narrower range of services. We believecannot assure you that our services are therefore attractivebusiness will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to healthcare payors who are seekingenable us to provide the most cost-effective level of care to their enrollees. Additionally, we continually seek to increasepay our admissions by demonstratingindebtedness, including our quality of care and by doing so expanding and improving our relationships with the physicians and general acute care hospitalsindebtedness in the markets where we operate. We maintain a strong focus on the provision of high-quality medical care within our facilities and believe that this operational focus is in part reflected by the accreditation of our specialty hospitals by The Joint Commission, the American Osteopathic Association ("AOA") and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities ("CARF"). As of June 30, 2013, allrespect of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commissionnotes, or the AOA. Additionally, some ofto fund our IRFs have also applied for and received accreditation from CARF. The Joint Commission and CARF are independent, not-for-profit organizations that establish standards relatedother liquidity needs. Our inability to the operation and management of healthcare facilities. Each ofpay our accredited facilities must regularly demonstratedebts would require us to a survey team conformance to the applicable standards.

            When a patient is referred to one of our hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, health maintenance organization or insurance company, we perform a clinical assessment of the patient to determine if the patient meets our criteria for admission. Based on the determinations reached in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made by the attending physician.

            Upon admission, an interdisciplinary team reviews a new patient's condition. The interdisciplinary team is comprised of a number of clinicians and may include any or all of the following: an attending physician; a specialty nurse; a physical, occupational or speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietician; a pharmacist; and a case manager. Upon completion of an initial evaluation by each member of the treatment team, an individualized treatment plan is established and implemented. The case manager coordinates all aspects of the patient's hospital stay and serves as a liaison with the insurance carrier's case management staff when appropriate. The case manager communicates progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals between the patient, the treatment team and the payor.

            Each of our specialty hospitals has an interdisciplinary medical staff that is comprised of physicians that have completed the privileging and credentialing process required by that specialty hospital, and have been approved by the governing board of that specialty hospital. Physicians on the medical staff of our specialty hospitals are generally not directly employed by our specialty hospitals but instead have staff privileges atpursue one or more hospitals. At eachalternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling equity capital. However, we cannot assure you that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or provide adequate funds to allow us to pay our debts as they come due and fund our other liquidity needs. Also, some alternative strategies would require the prior consent of our specialty hospitals, attending physicians conduct rounds on their patients on a daily basis and consulting physicians provide consulting services based on the medical needs of our patients. Our specialty hospitals also have on-call arrangements with physicianssenior secured lenders, which we may not be able to ensure that a physician is available to care for our patients at all times. We staff our specialty hospitals with the number of physicians and other medical practitioners that we believe is


    Table of Contents

    appropriate to address the varying needs of our patients. When determining the appropriate composition of the medical staff of a specialty hospital, we consider (1) the size of the specialty hospital, (2) services provided by the specialty hospital, (3) if applicable, the size and capabilities of the medical staff of the general acute care hospital that hosts our hospital within hospital, or "HIH" and (4) if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital to a free-standing hospital. The medical staff of each of our specialty hospitals meets the applicable requirements set forth by Medicare, The Joint Commission and the state in which that specialty hospital is located.

            Each of our specialty hospitals has an onsite management team consisting of a chief executive officer, a chief nursing officer and a director of business development. These teams manage local strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume primary responsibility for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the local areas we serve that refer patients to our specialty hospitals. We provide our hospitals with centralized accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management information systems and billing and collection services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits hospital staff to focus their time on patient care.

            We operate the majority of our LTCHs as HIHs. An LTCH that operates as an HIH leases space from a general acute care hospital, or "host hospital," and operates as a separately licensed hospital within the host hospital, or on the same campus as the host hospital. In contrast, a free-standing LTCH does not operate on a host hospital campus. We operated 109 LTCHs at June 30, 2013, of which 108 are owned and one is managed. Of the 108 LTCHs we owned, 76 were operated as HIHs and 32 were operated as free-standing hospitals.

            For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation services see "—Government Regulations" andobtain. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulatory Changes.Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

    The notes and the subsidiary guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

            The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their debt, their trade creditors and holders of their preferred equity will generally be entitled to payment on their claims from assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Although the indenture governing the notes contains limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock by us and our restricted subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions. Moreover, the indenture governing the notes does not impose any limitation in the incurrence by our restricted subsidiaries of liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness under the indenture. The aggregate net operating revenues and income from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes were $421.8 million and $47.7 million, respectively, and at March 31, 2014, those subsidiaries had total assets and indebtedness and other liabilities (excluding intercompany indebtedness and liabilities) of $228.9 million and $45.5 million, respectively. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock." See also "Description of the Notes—Subsidiary Guarantees" and the condensed consolidating financial information included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

    The new notes will not be secured by our assets nor those of our subsidiaries and the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities are entitled to remedies available to a secured lender, which gives them priority over the note holders to collect amounts due to them.

            The new notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will not be secured by any of our or our subsidiaries' assets and therefore will be effectively subordinated to the claims of our secured debt holders to the extent of the value of the assets securing our secured debt. Our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities are secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of Holdings'


    Table of Contents

    capital stock and the capital stock of Holdings' subsidiaries and by substantially all of our assets and each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor. If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under our senior secured credit facilities or in respect of any other secured senior indebtedness is accelerated, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities or holders of other secured senior indebtedness will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law (in addition to any remedies that may be available under documents pertaining to our senior secured credit facilities or other secured debt). In addition, we and or the subsidiary guarantors may incur additional secured senior indebtedness, the holders of which will also be entitled to the remedies available to a secured lender. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Secured Credit Facilities" and "Description of the Notes."

    We may not have the funds to purchase the notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.

            If we were to experience a change of control as described under "Description of the Notes," we would be required to make an offer to purchase all of the notes then outstanding at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The source of funds for any purchase of the notes would be our available cash or cash generated from other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets, sales of equity or funds provided by our existing or new stockholders. We cannot assure you that any of these sources will be available or sufficient to make the required repurchase of the notes, and restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities may not allow such repurchases. Upon the occurrence of a change of control event, we may seek to refinance the debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities and the notes. However, it is possible that we will not be able to complete such refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In such event, we would not have the funds necessary to finance the required change of control offer. See "Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

            In addition, a change of control would be an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities. Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to our senior debt to which we become a party may contain similar provisions. Our failure to purchase the notes upon a change of control under the indenture would constitute an event of default under the indenture. This default would, in turn, constitute an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities and may constitute an event of default under future senior debt, any of which may cause the related debt to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods. If debt were to be accelerated, we might not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes and repay the debt.

    Federal and state statutes could allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the subsidiary guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and require note holders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors.

            Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court could void a subsidiary guarantee or claims related to the notes or subordinate a subsidiary guarantee to all of our other debts or to all other debts of a subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, at the time we or a subsidiary guarantor incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its subsidiary guarantee:

      we or the subsidiary guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness;

      the subsidiary guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

      the subsidiary guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    Table of Contents

      the subsidiary guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond the subsidiary guarantor's ability to pay such debts as they mature.

            In addition, a court could void any payment by a subsidiary guarantor pursuant to the notes or a subsidiary guarantee and require that payment to be returned to such subsidiary guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the subsidiary guarantor.

            The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the governing law in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

      the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

      the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

      it could not pay its debts as they become due.

            On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that we and each subsidiary guarantor are not insolvent, do not have insufficient capital for the business in which we are or it is engaged and have not incurred debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as they mature. There can be no assurance, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our or the subsidiary guarantors' conclusions in this regard.

    Specialty Hospital Strategy

            The key elements of our specialty hospital strategy are to:

            Focus on Specialized Inpatient Services.    We serve highly acute patients and patients with debilitating injuries and rehabilitation needs that cannot be adequately cared for in a less medically intensive environment, such as a skilled nursing facility. Generally, patients in our specialty hospitals require longer stays and can benefit from more specialized clinical care than patients treated in general acute care hospitals. Our patients' average length of stay in our specialty hospitals was 24 days for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013.


    Table of Contents

            Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We believe that our specialty hospitals serve a critical role in comprehensive healthcare delivery. Through our specialized treatment programs and staffing models, we treat patients with acute, complex and specialized medical needs who are typically referred to us by general acute care hospitals. Our specialized treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions such as ventilator weaning programs, wound care protocols and rehabilitation programs for brain trauma and spinal cord injuries. Our responsive staffing models ensure that patients have the appropriate clinical resources over the course of their stay. We maintain quality assurance programs to support and monitor quality of care standards and to meet regulatory requirements and maintain Medicare certifications. We believe that we are recognized for providing quality care and service, as evidenced by accreditationour specialty hospitals' accreditations by The Joint Commission, the American Osteopathic Association ("AOA") and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities ("CARF"). As of December 31, 2013, all of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commission or the AOA. Some of our IRFs have also received accreditation from CARF. We also believe we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve by demonstrating our quality of care.

            Our treatment programs benefit patients because they give our clinicians access to the best practices and protocols that we have found to be most effective in treating various conditions such as respiratory failure, non-healing wounds, brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and neuromuscular


    Table of Contents

    disorders. In addition, we combine or modify these programs to provide a treatment plan tailored to meet our patients' unique needs.

            The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including patient satisfaction surveys, as well as clinical outcomes analyses. Quality measures are collected continuously and reported monthly, quarterly and annually. In order to benchmark ourselves against other healthcare organizations, we have contracted with outside vendors to collect our clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to other healthcare organizations. The information collected is reported back to each hospital, to our corporate office, and directly to The Joint Commission. As of June 30, 2013, all of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited. Some of our IRFs have also received accreditation from CARF. See "—Government Regulations—Licensure—Accreditation."

            Reduce Operating Costs.    We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs at our hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

      centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance and billing and collection;

      standardizing management information systems to aid in accounting, billing, collections and data capture and analysis; and

      centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and other commodities used in our operations.

            Increase Commercial Volume.    We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our specialty hospitals. We believe that commercial payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

            Develop Inpatient Facilities.Specialty Hospitals.    Since our inception in 1997 we have internally developed 64 specialty hospitals. While there is currently no limitation on the development of new IRFs, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, together with the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, reinstates the moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities beginning April 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017. We will continueare currently continuing the development of new LTCHs and LTCH satellite facilities that met the requirements for an exception to evaluate opportunitiesthe moratorium prior to develop joint venture relationships with significant health systems, and from time to time we may also develop new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals.April 1, 2014.

            Pursue Joint Ventures with Large Health Care Systems.    By leveraging the experience of our senior management and dedicated development team, we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on development opportunities.expand our portfolio of joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture opportunities, our development team conducts an extensive review of the area's referral patterns and commercial insurance rates to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Ultimately,Once discussions commence with a health care system, we determinerefine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working capital, the construction of new space or the leasing and renovation of existing space. During constructionA joint venture typically consists of us and the health care system contributing certain post acute care businesses into a newly formed entity. We typically function as the manager and hold either a majority or renovation,minority ownership interest.

When we acquire a hospital or a group of hospitals, or enter into a joint venture, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions and implementing our standardized resource management programs.

    Outpatient Rehabilitation

            We believe that we are the largest operator of outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities, with 988 facilities throughout 32 states and the District of Columbia as of June 30, 2013. Typically, each of our clinics is located in a medical complex or retail location. We also provide medical rehabilitative services to residents and patients of nursing homes, hospitals, schools, assisted living and senior care centers and worksites. As of June 30, 2013, we provided rehabilitative services to approximately 522 contracted locations in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment employed approximately 9,500 people as of June 30, 2013.

            In our clinics and through our contractual relationships, we provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation programs and services. We also provide certain specialized programs such as functional programs for work related injuries, hand therapy and athletic training services. The typical patient in one of our clinics suffers from musculoskeletal impairments that restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities of daily living. These impairments are often associated with accidents, sports injuries, work related injuries or post-operative orthopedic and other medical conditions. Our rehabilitation programs and services are designed to help these patients minimize physical and cognitive impairments and maximize functional ability. We also provide services designed to prevent short term disabilities from becoming chronic conditions. Our rehabilitation services are provided by our professionals including licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and athletic trainers.

            Outpatient rehabilitation patients are generally referred or directed to our clinics by a physician, employer or health insurer who believes that a patient, employee or member can benefit from the level of therapy we provide in an outpatient setting. We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide a high-quality and cost-effective level of care to their enrollees.

            In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, approximately 90% of our net operating revenues come from commercial payors, including healthcare insurers, managed care organizations and workers' compensation programs, contract management services and private pay sources. The balance of our reimbursement is derived from Medicare and other government sponsored programs.

    Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

            The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

            Provide High-Quality Care and Service.    We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing on quality care and offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve. This high quality of care and service allows us to strengthen our relationships with referring physicians, employers and health insurers and drive additional patient volume.

            Increase Market Share.    We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new clinics in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty and workforce continuity. We are focused on increasing our workers' compensation and commercial/managed care payor mix.

            Expand Rehabilitation Programs and Services.    Through our local clinical directors of operations and clinic managers within their service areas, we assess the healthcare needs of the areas we serve. Based on these assessments, we implement additional programs and services specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from the knowledge we


    Table of Contents

    gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

            Optimize the Profitability of our Payor Contracts.    We review payor contracts up for renewal and potential new payor contracts to optimize our profitability. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess potential profitability by evaluating past and projected patient volume, clinic capacity, and expense trends. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not meet our defined criteria. We believe that our size and our strong reputation enable us to negotiate favorable outpatient contracts with commercial insurers.

            Maintain Strong Employee Relations.    We believe that the relationships between our employees and the referral sources in their communities are critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as physicians and healthcare case managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the service we provide and their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance-basedperformance- based bonus program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments and internal training programs. We also focus on empowering our employees by giving them a high degree of autonomy in determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are potential business leaders. This management approach reflects the unique nature of each local area in which we


    Table of Contents

    operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to assume responsibility for their clinic's performance.

            Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions.    We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and increase margins at acquired facilities.

    Other

            Other activities include our corporate services and certain other non-consolidating joint ventures and minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. These include investments in companies that provide specialized technology, services to healthcare entities and providers of complementary services.

    Our Competitive Strengths

            We believe that the success of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including our position as a leading operator in each of our business segments, proven financial performance and strong cash flow, significant scale, experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, ability to capitalize on consolidation opportunities and an experienced management team.

            Leading Operator in Distinct but Complementary Lines of Business.    We believe that we are a leading operator in each of our principal business segments, based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high-quality, cost-effective healthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our marketing efforts to payors and referral sources and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our specialty hospital segment, we operated 109108 LTCHs in 28 states and 1415 IRFs in sixseven states at June 30,December 31, 2013. We derived approximately 75%74% of net operating revenues from these operationsour specialty hospital segment, for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 9881,006 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 32 states and the District of Columbia at June 30,December 31, 2013. We derived approximately 25%26% of net operating revenues from these operationsour outpatient rehabilitation segment, for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013. With these leading positions in the areas we serve, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for


    Table of Contents

    medical services due to an aging population in the United States, which will drive growth across our business lines.

            Proven Financial Performance and Strong Cash Flow.    We have established a track record of improving the financial performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management and an intense focus on free cash flow generation. This includes regular review of specific financial metrics of our business to determine trends in our revenue generation, expenses, billing and cash collection. Based on the ongoing analysis of such trends, we make adjustments to our operations to optimize our financial performance and cash flow.

            Significant Scale.    By building significant scale in each of our business segments, we have been able to leverage our operating costs by centralizing administrative functions at our corporate office. As a result, we have been able to minimize our general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues.

            Experience in Successfully Completing and Integrating Acquisitions.    From our inception in 1997 through 2012,2013, we completed seven significant acquisitions for approximately $1,104.8 million in aggregate consideration. We believe that we have improved the operating performance of these facilities over time by applying our standard operating practices and by realizing efficiencies from our centralized operations and management.

            Experience in Partnering with Large Health Care Systems.    Over the past several years we have partnered with large regional health care systems to provide post acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise through our experience in operating specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation services to these ventures and have improved and expanded the level of post acute care services provided in these communities, as well as the financial performance of these operations.

    Well-Positioned to Capitalize on Consolidation Opportunities.    We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on consolidation opportunities within each of our business segments and


    Table of Contents

    selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that each of our business segments is fragmented, with many of the nation's LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation facilities being operated by independent operators lacking national or broad regional scope. With our geographically diversified portfolio of facilities in the United States, we believe that our footprint provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on multiple potential acquisition opportunities.

            Experienced and Proven Management Team.    Prior to co-founding our company with our current Chief Executive Officer, our Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, our Vice Chairman and Co-Founder founded and operated three other healthcare companies focused on inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. In addition, our senior management team has extensive experience in the healthcare industry. In recent years, we have reorganized our operations to expand executive talent and ensure management continuity.

    SourcesIndustry

            In the United States, spending on healthcare is expected to be 18.3% of Net Operating Revenuesthe gross domestic product in 2014, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. An important factor driving healthcare spending is increased consumption of services due to the aging of the population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, between 2000 and 2010 the population aged 65 and older in the United States grew 15.1%, while the total population grew 9.7%. The United States is projected to continue to experience rapid growth in its older population. In 2050, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to be 88.5 million, more than double its population of 40.2 million in 2010. We believe that an increasing number of individuals age 65 and older will drive demand for our specialized medical services.

            For individuals age 65 and older, the primary source of health insurance is the federal Medicare program. Medicare utilizes distinct payment methodologies for services provided in LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. In the federal fiscal year 2010, Medicare payments for long term acute care hospital services accounted for 1.0% of overall Medicare outlays and Medicare payments for inpatient rehabilitation services accounted for 1.2%, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission.

    rank equal in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the subsidiary guarantees; and

    rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the subsidiary guarantees.

    Net revenue per patient day is calculated by dividing specialty hospital direct patient service revenues by the total number of patient days.

    (3)
    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income (expense). We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating units. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and


    Table of Contents

      Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.

      Following is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA as utilized by us in reporting our segment performance.

    RISK FACTORS

    You should carefully consider the Medicare and Medicaid programs are generally less than the customary charges for the services provided. In recent years there have been significant changes made to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since a significant portion of our revenues come from patients under the Medicare program, our ability to operate our business successfully in the future will depend in large measure on our ability to adapt to changes in the Medicare program. See "—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements."

      Non-Government Sources

            Our non-government sources of net operating revenue include insurance companies, workers' compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers,risks described below, as well as by patients directly. Patientsthe other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer. The risks described below are generally not responsible forthe only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. The actual occurrence of any difference between customary charges for our services and amounts paid by Medicare and Medicaid programs, insurance companies, workers' compensation companies, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other managed care companies, but are responsible for services not covered by these programs or plans, as well as for deductibles and co-insurance obligations of their coverage. The amount of these deductiblesrisks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and co-insurance obligations has increased in recent years. Collectionresults of amounts due from individuals is typically more difficult than collectionoperations. In that case, the value of amounts due from governmentthe new notes could decline substantially, and you may lose part or commercial payors.all of your investment.

    EmployeesRisks Related to the Exchange Offer

            As of June 30, 2013, we employed approximately 31,000 people throughout the United States. Approximately 20,900 of our employees are full timeIf you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and the remaining approximately 10,100 are part-time employees. Specialty hospital employees totaled approximately 20,600 and outpatient, contract therapy and physical rehabilitation and occupational health employees totaled approximately 9,500. The remaining approximately 900 employees were in corporate management, administration and other support services primarily residing at our Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania headquarters.

    Competitionmay become less liquid.

            We compete ondid not register the basisresale of the qualityold notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, nor do we intend to after the exchange offer. In general, you may only offer or sell the old notes if the resale is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. If you do not exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to such restrictions on transfer and you may be unable to sell the old notes.

            Because we anticipate that most holders of old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the patient services we provide,market for any old notes remaining after the resultscompletion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any old notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the old notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your old notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your old notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes will be adversely affected.

    If an active trading market for the new notes does not develop, the liquidity and value of the new notes could be harmed.

            In connection with the initial placements of the old notes and 2013 notes, the initial purchasers informed us that we achievethey intended to make a market in the notes (including the new notes) following completion of such offering.

    Risks Related to the New Notes

    Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business, which could prevent us from generating the future cash flow needed to fulfill our obligations under the notes.

            As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $1,612.2 million of total indebtedness on a consolidated basis. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

      requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

      increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

      limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;

      makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at variable rates;

      limits our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital or other purposes, such as Physiotherapy Associatesraising the funds necessary to repurchase all notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of specified changes of control in our ownership; and U.S. Physical Therapy

      places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

            See "Capitalization" and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

    Restrictions imposed by our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes limit our ability to engage in selected local areas. Manyor enter into business, operating and financing arrangements, which could prevent us from taking advantage of potentially profitable business opportunities.

            The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our debt instruments, including our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes, may adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. For example, our senior secured credit facilities restrict our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

      incur or guarantee additional debt and issue or sell preferred stock;

      pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

      make certain acquisitions or investments;

      incur or permit to exist certain liens;

      enter into transactions with affiliates;

      merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company;

      transfer or otherwise dispose of assets;

      redeem subordinated debt;

      incur capital expenditures;

      incur contingent obligations;

      incur obligations that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to us; and

      create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries.

            Our senior secured credit facilities also require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control. A breach of any of these clinics have longer operating historiescovenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our senior secured credit facilities. In the event of any default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and greater name recognition indeclare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable, to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these communities than our clinics,borrowings or to prevent us from making debt service payments on the notes, any of which would be an event of default under the notes. See "Description of the Notes" and they may have stronger relations with physicians in these communities on whom we rely for patient referrals."Description of Other Indebtedness."

    Government Regulations

      GeneralDespite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks described above.

              We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the new notes contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014, we had $152.7 million of revolving loan availability under our senior secured credit facilities (after giving effect to $42.3 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition, to the extent new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries' current debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described above would increase.


      Table of Contents

      To service our indebtedness and meet our other ongoing liquidity needs, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control, including possible changes in government reimbursement rates or methods. If we cannot generate the required cash, we may not be able to make the required payments under the new notes.

              Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund our planned capital expenditures and our other ongoing liquidity needs will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our future financial results will be subject to substantial fluctuations upon a significant change in government reimbursement rates or methods. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including our indebtedness in respect of the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our inability to pay our debts would require us to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling equity capital. However, we cannot assure you that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or provide adequate funds to allow us to pay our debts as they come due and fund our other liquidity needs. Also, some alternative strategies would require the prior consent of our senior secured lenders, which we may not be able to obtain. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus and "Description of Other Indebtedness."

      The notes and the subsidiary guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

              The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their debt, their trade creditors and holders of their preferred equity will generally be entitled to payment on their claims from assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Although the indenture governing the notes contains limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock by us and our restricted subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions. Moreover, the indenture governing the notes does not impose any limitation in the incurrence by our restricted subsidiaries of liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness under the indenture. The aggregate net operating revenues and income from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the notes were $421.8 million and $47.7 million, respectively, and at March 31, 2014, those subsidiaries had total assets and indebtedness and other liabilities (excluding intercompany indebtedness and liabilities) of $228.9 million and $45.5 million, respectively. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock." See also "Description of the Notes—Subsidiary Guarantees" and the condensed consolidating financial information included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

      The new notes will not be secured by our assets nor those of our subsidiaries and the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities are entitled to remedies available to a secured lender, which gives them priority over the note holders to collect amounts due to them.

              The new notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will not be secured by any of our or our subsidiaries' assets and therefore will be effectively subordinated to the claims of our secured debt holders to the extent of the value of the assets securing our secured debt. Our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities are secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of Holdings'


      Table of Contents

      capital stock and the capital stock of Holdings' subsidiaries and by substantially all of our assets and each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor. If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under our senior secured credit facilities or in respect of any other secured senior indebtedness is accelerated, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities or holders of other secured senior indebtedness will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law (in addition to any remedies that may be available under documents pertaining to our senior secured credit facilities or other secured debt). In addition, we and or the subsidiary guarantors may incur additional secured senior indebtedness, the holders of which will also be entitled to the remedies available to a secured lender. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Secured Credit Facilities" and "Description of the Notes."

      We may not have the funds to purchase the notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.

              If we were to experience a change of control as described under "Description of the Notes," we would be required to make an offer to purchase all of the notes then outstanding at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The source of funds for any purchase of the notes would be our available cash or cash generated from other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets, sales of equity or funds provided by our existing or new stockholders. We cannot assure you that any of these sources will be available or sufficient to make the required repurchase of the notes, and restrictions in our senior secured credit facilities may not allow such repurchases. Upon the occurrence of a change of control event, we may seek to refinance the debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities and the notes. However, it is possible that we will not be able to complete such refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In such event, we would not have the funds necessary to finance the required change of control offer. See "Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control."

              In addition, a change of control would be an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities. Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to our senior debt to which we become a party may contain similar provisions. Our failure to purchase the notes upon a change of control under the indenture would constitute an event of default under the indenture. This default would, in turn, constitute an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities and may constitute an event of default under future senior debt, any of which may cause the related debt to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods. If debt were to be accelerated, we might not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes and repay the debt.

      Federal and state statutes could allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the subsidiary guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and require note holders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors.

              Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court could void a subsidiary guarantee or claims related to the notes or subordinate a subsidiary guarantee to all of our other debts or to all other debts of a subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, at the time we or a subsidiary guarantor incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its subsidiary guarantee:

        we or the subsidiary guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness;

        the subsidiary guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

        the subsidiary guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

      Table of Contents

        the subsidiary guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond the subsidiary guarantor's ability to pay such debts as they mature.

              In addition, a court could void any payment by a subsidiary guarantor pursuant to the notes or a subsidiary guarantee and require that payment to be returned to such subsidiary guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the subsidiary guarantor.

              The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the governing law in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

        the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

        the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

        it could not pay its debts as they become due.

              On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that we and each subsidiary guarantor are not insolvent, do not have insufficient capital for the business in which we are or it is engaged and have not incurred debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as they mature. There can be no assurance, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our or the subsidiary guarantors' conclusions in this regard.

      Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

      If there are changes in the rates or methods of government reimbursements for our services, our net operating revenues and profitability could decline.

              Approximately 48% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, 47% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 46% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 came from the highly regulated federal Medicare program.

              In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various payment systems under the Medicare program. President Obama signed into law comprehensive reforms to the healthcare system, including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement. Additional reforms or other changes to these payment systems, including modifications to the conditions on qualification for payment, bundling payments to cover both acute and post-acute care or the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers, may be proposed or could be adopted, either by Congress or by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. If revised regulations are adopted, the availability, methods and rates of Medicare reimbursements for services of the type furnished at our facilities could change. Some of these changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results. In addition, there can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS will fully reflect increases in our operating costs.

              The Budget Control Act of 2011, enacted on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap. On April 1, 2013 a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (also referred to as the Pathway for SGR Reform Act


      Table of Contents

      of 2013) extended the automatic spending reductions through 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, this reduction has reduced our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $24.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

      We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations, new interpretations of existing regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.

              The healthcare industry is requiredsubject to comply with many complex laws and regulations at theextensive federal, state and local government levels. These laws and regulations require that hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics meet various requirements, including those relating to (1) facility and professional licensure, including certificates of need, (2) conduct of operations, including financial relationships among healthcare providers, Medicare fraud and abuse and physician self-referral, (3) addition of facilities and services and enrollment of newly developed facilities in the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policiesMedicare program, (4) payment for services and procedures, maintenance of adequate records,(5) safeguarding protected health information, compliance with building codes and environmental protection and healthcare fraud and abuse. These laws and regulations are extremely complex and, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to operate and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid and otherinformation.

              Both federal and state healthcare programs.

        Facility Licensure

              Our healthcareregulatory agencies inspect, survey and audit our facilities are subject to state and local licensing regulations ranging from the adequacy of medical care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In order to assure continuedreview our compliance with these various regulations, governmentallaws and other authorities periodically inspect our facilities, not only at scheduled intervals but also in response to complaints from patients and others.regulations. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing, and Medicare certification requirements and accreditation standards, there can be no assurance that these regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. A determination by an applicableany of these regulatory authorityauthorities that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements could lead to the imposition of requirements that the facility takes corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

              Some states stillIn addition, there have been heightened coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts by both federal and state government agencies relating to the healthcare industry. The ongoing investigations relate to, among other things, various referral practices, cost reporting, billing practices, physician ownership and joint ventures involving hospitals. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject us to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to get approval under certificate of need regulations when we create, acquire or expandmake changes in our facilities, orequipment, personnel, services or alter the ownership of such facilities, whether directly or indirectly. The certificate of need regulations vary from state to state, and are subject to changecapital expenditure programs. These changes may increase our operating expenses and new interpretation.reduce our operating revenues. If we fail to show public needcomply with these extensive laws and obtain approval in these states for our new facilitiesgovernment regulations, we could become ineligible to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations. In addition, we could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to any related investigation or other enforcement action.

      Full implementation of the ownership structure of existing facilities, we may beMedicare 25 Percent Rule applicable to LTCHs will have an adverse effect on our future net operating revenues and profitability.

              Under the 25 Percent Rule, the Medicare payment rate for LTCHs is subject to civila downward payment adjustment if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH who were admitted from an individual referring hospital exceeds an applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. Cases admitted to an LTCH in excess of the applicable percentage admissions threshold are reimbursed at a rate comparable to that under IPPS. IPPS rates are generally lower than the long term acute care hospital prospective payment system, or even criminal penalties, lose our facility license or become ineligible for reimbursement.

        Professional Licensure and Corporate Practice

              Healthcare professionals at our hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics are required to be individually licensed or certified under applicable state law. We take steps to ensure"LTCH-PPS" rates. Cases that our employees and agents possess all necessary licenses and certifications. Some states prohibitreach outlier status in the "corporate practice of therapy" so that business corporations such as ours are restricted from practicing therapy throughdischarging hospital do not count toward the direct employment of therapists.

              LTCHs that are operated as a hospital within a hospital, or an "HIH" or as HIH "satellites," are subject to payment reductions for those Medicare patients admitted from their host hospitals in each state in which we have outpatient clinics.

However, future interpretationsexcess of the corporate practice prohibition, enactment of new legislation or adoption of new regulations could cause us to have to restructure our business operations or close our clinics in a particular state. If new legislation, regulations or interpretations establish that our clinics do not comply with state corporate practice prohibition, we could be subject to civil, and perhaps criminal, penalties. Any such restructuring or penalties could have a material adverse effect on our business.

        Certification

              In order to participate in the Medicare program and receive Medicare reimbursement, each facility must comply with the applicable regulations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services relating to, among other things, the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations. As of June 30, 2013, 122 of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were certified as Medicare providers and one was going through the process to obtain certification. In addition, we provide the majority of our outpatient rehabilitation services through clinics certified by Medicare as rehabilitation agencies or "rehab agencies."

        Accreditation

              Our specialty hospitals receive accreditation from The Joint Commission, AOA, CARF and/or other healthcare accrediting organizations. As of June 30, 2013, all of the 123 specialty hospitals we operated were accredited by either The Joint Commission or the AOA. In addition, some of our IRFs have also applied for and received accreditation from CARF.

        Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements

        Medicare Program in General

              The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, whichadmissions threshold. Grandfathered HIHs are generally persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or "CMS." Net operating revenues generated directlyexcluded from the Medicare program represented approximately 47% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, 48% for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 47% for the year ended December 31, 2012.percentage admissions threshold regulations.

              The SCHIP Extension Act, as amended by the ARRA, the PPACA and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, postponed the full application of the percentage admissions threshold for specific classifications of LTCHs. Full implementation of the Medicare program reimburses various types of providers, including LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers, using different payment methodologies. The Medicare reimbursement systems specific to LTCHs, IRFs and outpatient rehabilitation providers, as described below, are different than the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. If our hospitals fail to comply with the requirements for paymentpercentage admissions thresholds under the Medicare reimbursement system for LTCHs or IRFs, our hospitals25 Percent Rule will be paid under the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. For general acute care hospitals, Medicare payments are made under IPPS under which a hospital receives a fixed payment amount per discharge (adjusted for area wage differences) using Medicare severity diagnosis-related groups, or "MS-DRGs." The general acute care hospital MS-DRG payment rate is based upon the national average cost of treating a Medicare patient's condition, based on severity levels of illness, in that type of facility. Although the average length of stay varies for each MS-DRG, the average stay of all Medicare patients in a general acute care hospital is substantially less than the average length of stay in LTCHs and IRFs. Thus, the prospective payment system for general acute care hospitals creates an economic incentive for those hospitals to discharge medically complex Medicare patients to a


      Table of Contents

      post-acute care setting as soon as clinically possible. Effective October 1, 2005, CMS expanded its post-acute care transfer policy under which general acute care hospitals are paid on a per diem basis rather than the full MS-DRG rate if a patient is discharged early to certain post-acute care settings, including LTCHs and IRFs. When a patient is discharged from selected MS-DRGs to, among other providers, an LTCH, the general acute care hospital is reimbursed below the full MS-DRG payment if the patient's length of stay is less than the geometric mean length of stay for the MS-DRG.

        Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement

              The Medicare payment system for LTCHs is based on a prospective payment system specifically applicable to LTCHs. LTCH-PPS was established by CMS final regulations published on August 30, 2002, and applies to LTCHs fornot go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016 or October 1, 2002. Under LTCH-PPS, each patient discharged2016, depending on the specific classification of LTCH. See "Business—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement—25 Percent Rule" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Of the remaining 76 HIHs and satellite facilities subject to a distinct LTC-DRGpercentage admissions threshold for admissions from their host hospital; four of these HIHs and satellite facilities were subject to a maximum 25% Medicare percentage admissions threshold for admissions from their host hospital, three HIHs and satellite facilities are co-located with an LTCH is generally paidMSA dominant hospital and were subject to a pre-determined fixed amount applicableMedicare percentage admissions threshold of no more than 50%, nor less than 25%, 18 of these HIHs and satellite facilities were co-located with a MSA dominant hospital or single urban hospital and were subject to a Medicare percentage admissions threshold of no more than 75%, 48 of these HIHs and satellite facilities were subject to a maximum 50% Medicare admissions threshold, and three of these HIHs and satellite facilities were located in a rural area and were subject to a maximum 75% Medicare percentage admissions threshold. As of December 31, 2013, we owned 2 grandfathered HIHs, all of which are excluded from the percentage admissions threshold regulations. As of December 31, 2013, we owned 29 free-standing LTCHs, which are not subject to the assigned LTC-DRG (adjusted for area wage differences), subject to exceptions for short stay and highMedicare percentage admissions threshold until cost outlier patients (described below). Beginning with dischargesreporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2017.

              The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 requires CMS to report to Congress before October 2016 on the need for any further extensions or modifications of the extensions of the 25 Percent Rule. In addition, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, ("MedPAC"), an independent federal body that advises Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program, to report to Congress by June 2019 on the need to continue applying the 25 Percent Rule, the effect of site-neutral payment on LTCHs and recommendations on how to change the site-neutral payment policy.

              Because these rules are complex and are based on the volume of Medicare admissions from other referring hospitals as a percent of our overall Medicare admissions, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact on our future net operating revenues and profitability of compliance with these regulations. We expect many of our LTCHs will experience an adverse financial impact when full implementation of the Medicare percentage admissions thresholds goes into effect. Our LTCHs have cost reporting periods that commence on various dates throughout the calendar year. Therefore, the application of the lower percentage admissions thresholds will be staggered and we would not realize the full impact of lower percentage admissions thresholds until 2017.

      Expiration of the moratorium imposed on the payment adjustment for very short-stay cases in our LTCHs has reduced and will continue to reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

              On May 1, 2007, CMS implementedpublished a new patient classification system with categories referred to as "MS-LTC-DRGs." The new classification categories take into accountprovision that changed the severity of the patient's condition. CMS assigned relative weights to each MS-LTC-DRG to reflect their relative use of medical care resources. The payment amount for each MS-LTC-DRG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient assigned to that MS-LTC-DRG in an LTCH.

        Standard Federal Rate

              Payment under the LTCH-PPS is dependent on determining the patient classification, that is, the assignment of the case to a particular MS-LTC-DRG, the weight of the MS-LTC-DRG and the standard federal payment rate. There is a single standard federal rate that encompasses both the inpatient operating costs, which includes a labor and non-labor component, and capital-related costs that CMS updates on an annual basis. LTCH-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient's length of stay, the facility's costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

        Short Stay Outlier Policy

              CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a SSO. SSO cases are paid based on the lesser of (1) 100% of the average cost of the case; (2) 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount multiplied by the patient's length of stay; (3) the full MS-LTC-DRG payment; or (4) a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS.

        Modification of Short Stay Outlier Policy

              The SSO rule was revised adding a category referred to as a "very short stay outlier" for discharges occurring after July 1, 2007. For cases with a length of stay that is less than the average length of stay plus one standard deviationIPPS comparable threshold. Beginning with discharges on or after July 1, 2007, for the same MS-DRG under IPPS, referred to as the so-called "IPPS comparable threshold,"these very short-stay cases, the rule lowerslowered the LTCH payment to a rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS per diem. SSOShort stay outlier, or "SSO," cases with covered lengths of stay that exceed the IPPS comparable threshold would continue to be paid


      Table of Contents

      under the existing SSO payment policy. The SCHIP Extension Act as amended by the ARRA and the PPACA prevented CMS from applying the very short-stay outlierthis change to SSO policy during thefor a period from December 29, 2007of five years through December 28, 2012. The implementation of the payment methodology for very short-stay outlier policy is again applicable to discharges occurring on oroutliers discharged after December 29, 2012 has reduced and will continue to reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

      If our LTCHs fail to maintain their certifications as LTCHs or if our facilities operated as HIHs fail to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

              As of December 31, 2013, we operated 108 LTCHs, all of which are currently certified by Medicare as LTCHs. LTCHs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare program as an LTCH, including, among other things, maintaining an average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days. An LTCH that fails to maintain this average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days during a single cost reporting period is generally allowed an opportunity to show that it meets the length of stay criteria during the subsequent cost reporting period. If the LTCH can show that it meets the length of stay criteria during this cure period, it will continue to be appliedpaid under the LTCH-PPS. If the LTCH again fails to meet the average length of stay criteria during the cure period, it will be paid under the general acute care inpatient prospective payment system at rates generally lower than the rates under the LTCH-PPS.

              Similarly, our HIHs must meet conditions of participation in the Medicare program, which include additional criteria establishing separateness from the hospital with which the HIH shares space. If our LTCHs or HIHs fail to meet or maintain the standards for certification as LTCHs, they will receive payment under the general acute care hospitals IPPS which is generally lower than payment under the system applicable to LTCHs. Payments at rates applicable to general acute care hospitals would result in our LTCHs receiving significantly less Medicare reimbursement than they currently receive for their patient services.

      Implementation of additional patient or facility criteria for LTCHs that limit the population of patients eligible for our hospitals' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenue and profitability.

              The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (also referred to as the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013) establishes new payment limits for Medicare patients who do not meet specified criteria. Specifically, for Medicare patients discharged in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCHs will be reimbursed under LTCH-PPS only if, immediately preceding the patient's LTCH admission, the patient was discharged from a general acute care hospital paid under IPPS and the patient's stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) or the patient is assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator services in the LTCH. In addition, to be paid under LTCH-PPS the patient's discharge from the LTCH may not include a principal diagnosis relating to psychiatric or rehabilitation services. For any Medicare patient who does not meet the new criteria, the LTCH will be paid a "site-neutral" payment rate, which will be the lower of (1) the IPPS comparable per-diem payment rate including any outlier payments, or (2) 100 percent of the estimated costs for services. For cost reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2020, payment for all discharges from an LTCH may be subject to the site-neutral payment limitation unless Congress or CMS takes further action.the number of discharges for which payment is made under the LTCH-PPS payment rate is greater than 50% of the total number of discharges for the LTCH. The application of the new site-neutral payment rates under LTCH-PPS may reduce our operating revenues.

        High Cost Outliers

              Some cases are extraordinarily costly, producing losses that may be too large for hospitals to offset. Cases with unusually high costs, referred to as "high cost outliers," receive a payment adjustment to reflect the additional resources utilized. CMS provides an additional payment if the estimated costs for the patient exceed the adjusted MS-LTC-DRG payment plus a fixed-loss amount that is established in the annual payment rate update.

        Interrupted stays

              An interrupted stay is defined as a case in which an LTCH patient is admitted upon discharge to a general acute care hospital, IRF or skilled nursing facility/swing-bed and returns to the same LTCH within a specified period of time. If the length of stay at the receiving provider is equal to or less than the applicable fixed period of time, it is considered to be an interrupted stay case and is treated as a single discharge for the purposes of payment to the LTCH.

        Freestanding, HIH and Satellite LTCHs

              LTCHs may be organized and operated as freestanding facilities or as HIHs. As its name suggests, a freestanding LTCH is not located on the campus of another hospital. For such purpose, "campus" means the physical area immediately adjacent to a hospital's main buildings, other areas and structures that are not strictly contiguous to a hospital's main buildings but are located within 250 yards of its main buildings, and any other areas determined, on an individual case basis by the applicable CMS regional office, to be part of a hospital's campus. Conversely, an HIH is an LTCH that is located on the campus of another hospital. An LTCH, whether freestanding or an HIH, that uses the same Medicare provider number of an affiliated "primary site" LTCH is known as a "satellite." Under Medicare policy, a satellite LTCH must be located within 35 miles of its primary site LTCH and be administered by such primary site LTCH. A primary site LTCH may have more than one satellite LTCH. CMS sometimes refers to a satellite LTCH that is freestanding as a "remote location."

        Facility Certification Criteria

              The LTCH-PPS regulations define the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as an LTCH. To be eligible for payment under the LTCH-PPS, a hospital must be primarily engaged in providing inpatient services to Medicare beneficiaries with medically complex conditions that require a long hospital stay. In addition, by definition, LTCHs must meet certain facility criteria, including (1) instituting a review process that screens patients for appropriateness of an admission and validates the patient criteria within 48 hours of each patient's admission, evaluates regularly their patients for continuation of care and assesses the available discharge options; (2) having active physician involvement with patient care that includes a physician available on-site daily and additional consulting physicians on call; and (3) having an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to prepare and carry out an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

              An LTCH must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) of greater than 25 days. LTCHs that fail to exceed an average length of stay of 25 days during any cost reporting period may be paid under the general acute care hospital IPPS if not corrected within established timeframes. CMS, through its contractors, determines whether an LTCH has maintained an average length of stay of greater than 25 days during each annual cost reporting period. In the preamble to the final rule for fiscal year 2012, CMS clarified its policy on the calculation of the average length of stay by specifying that all data on all Medicare inpatient days, including Medicare Advantage days, must be included in the average length of stay calculation effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.


      Table of Contents

              Prior to qualifying under the payment system applicable to LTCHs, a new LTCH initially receives payments under the general acute care hospital IPPS. The LTCH must continue to be paid under this system for a minimum of six months while meeting certain Medicare LTCH requirements, the most significant requirement being an average length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-covered days) greater than 25 days.

        25 Percent Rule

              The "25 Percent Rule" is a downward payment adjustment that applies to Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from an individual hospital (regardless of whether the referring hospital is co-located with the LTCH or LTCH satellite) exceed the applicable percentage threshold during a particular cost reporting period, the payment rate for those discharges would be subject to a downward payment adjustment. Cases admitted in excess of the applicable threshold are reimbursed at a rate comparable to that under general acute care IPPS, which is generally lower than LTCH-PPS rates. Cases that reach outlier status in the referring hospital do not count toward the limit and are paid under LTCH-PPS.

              For HIHs that meet specified criteria and were in existence as of October 1, 2004, the Medicare percentage thresholds were phased in over a four year period starting with hospital cost reporting periods that began on or after October 1, 2004. For HIHs opened after October 1, 2004, the Medicare percentage threshold has been established at 25% except for HIHs located in rural areas or co-located with an MSA dominant hospital or single urban hospital (as defined by current regulations) where the percentage is no more than 50%, nor less than 25%.

              The SCHIP Extension Act as amended by ARRA and the PPACA has limited the application of the Medicare percentage threshold to HIHs in existence on October 1, 2004 and subject to the four year phase in described above. For these HIHs, the percentage threshold is no lower than 50% for a five year period to commence on an LTCH's first cost reporting period to begin on or after October 1, 2007, except for HIHs located in rural areas and those which receive referrals from MSA dominant hospitals or single urban hospitals, in which cases the percentage threshold is no more than 75% during the same five cost reporting years.

              For cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007, CMS expanded the 25 Percent Rule to apply a payment adjustment to Medicare patients admitted from any individual hospital in excess of the specified percentage threshold. Previously, the percentage threshold payment adjustment was applicable only to Medicare admissions from hospitals co-located with an LTCH or satellite of an LTCH. The expanded 25 Percent Rule subjects free-standing LTCHs, grandfathered HIHs and grandfathered satellites to the Medicare percentage threshold payment adjustment, as well as HIHs that admit Medicare patients from non-co-located hospitals. Grandfathered HIHs refer to certain HIHs that were in existence on or before September 30, 1995, and grandfathered satellite facilities refer to satellites of grandfathered HIHs that were in existence on or before September 30, 1999.

              The SCHIP Extension Act, as amended by the ARRA, postponed the application of the percentage threshold to all free-standing and grandfathered HIHs for a three year period commencing on an LTCH's first cost reporting period on or after July 1, 2007. However, the SCHIP Extension Act did not postpone the application of the percentage threshold, or the transition period, to those Medicare patients discharged from an LTCH HIH or satellite that were admitted from a non-co-located hospital. The ARRA limits application of the percentage threshold to no more than 50% of Medicare admissions to grandfathered satellites from a co-located hospital for a three year period commencing on the first cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1, 2007. The PPACA included a two-year extension of the limits placed on the 25 Percent Rule by the SCHIP Extension Act, as amended by the ARRA.


      Table of Contents

              CMS adopted through regulations an additional one-year extension of relief from the full application of Medicare admission thresholds. As a result, full implementation of the Medicare admission thresholds will not go into effect until cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013, except for certain LTCHs with cost reporting periods that begin between July 1, 2012 and through September 30, 2012. Specifically, those freestanding facilities, grandfathered HIHs and grandfathered satellites with cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and through September 30, 2012 were subject to a modified 25 Percent Rule for discharges occurring in a three month period between July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012. The following table describes the types of LTCHs and the statutory and regulatory relief they have received from the payment adjustment for these discharges:

This relief is now effective for six years starting with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2007. In the special case of rural LTCHs, LTCHs co-located with an urban single hospital, or LTCHs co-located with an MSA-dominant hospital the referral percentage was raised to 75%.

      Non-grandfathered satellite facilities opened before October 1, 2004 (nine owned hospitals)

      LTCHs in this category are subject to a payment adjustment for discharged Medicare patients exceeding 25% of the LTCH's total Medicare population. In the special case where an LTCH is co-located with an MSA-dominant hospital, the referral percentage is no more than 50%, nor less than 25%.

              After the expiration of the regulatory relief, as described above, our LTCHs (whether freestanding, HIH or satellite) will be subject to a downward payment adjustment for any Medicare patients who were admitted from a co-located or a non-co-located hospital and that exceed the applicable percentage threshold of all Medicare patients discharged from the LTCH during the cost reporting period. These regulatory changes will have an adverse financial impact on the net operating revenues and profitability of many of these hospitals for cost reporting periods on or after October 1, 2013.

              In the preamble to the proposed update to the Medicare policies and payment rates for fiscal year 2014, CMS seeksrequested public comments in May 2013 on adoption of a payment adjustment based on whether a particular


      Table of Contents

      case qualifies as chronically critically ill/medically complex ("CCI/MC"). CMS isindicated that it was considering a change to the LTCH-PPS payment policies that would limit full LTCH PPSLTCH-PPS payment to those patients meeting the definition of CCI/MC while they were in an IPPS hospital inpatient setting and subsequently directly admitted to an LTCH. Payment for non-CCI/MC patients would be made at an "IPPS comparable amount," that is, an amount comparable to what would have been paid under the IPPS calculated as a per diem rate with total payments capped at the full IPPS MS-DRG payment rate.

              It is unclear how the adoption of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 will impact regulatory or legislative proposals to change the LTCH-PPS payment policies. We cannot predict whether Congress or CMS will adopt additional patient-level criteria in the future or, if adopted, how such criteria would affect the application of the 25 Percent Rule to our LTCHs. Implementation of additional patient or facility criteria that may limit the population of patients eligible for our LTCHs' services or change the basis on which we are paid could adversely affect our net operating revenues and profitability. See "Business—Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements—Long Term Acute Care Hospital Medicare Reimbursement" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

        Moratorium on New LTCHs, LTCH Satellite FacilitiesDecreases in Medicare reimbursement rates received by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, implementation of annual caps, and LTCH beds

              The SCHIP Extension Act imposed a moratorium on the establishment and classification of new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds in existing LTCHs or satellite facilities. The PPACA extended this moratorium by two years. The moratorium expired on December 28, 2012. Unless Congress or CMS take further action, new LTCHs, LTCH satellite facilities and LTCH beds may be established and enrolled in the Medicare program.

        One-Time Budget Neutrality Adjustment

              Congress required that the LTC-DRG payment rates maintain budget neutrality during the first years of the prospective payment system with total expenditures that would have been made under the previous reasonable cost-based payment system. The LTCH-PPS regulations give CMS the ability to make a one-time adjustmentreductions applied to the standard federal rate to correct any "significant difference between actual paymentssecond and estimated payments for the first year" of LTCH-PPS. The SCHIP Extension Act precluded CMS from implementing the one-time prospective adjustment to the LTCH standard federal rate for a period of three years. The PPACA extended the stay on CMS's ability to adopt a one-time budget neutrality adjustment to LTCH-PPS through December 28, 2012. In the update to the Medicare policiessubsequent therapy services may reduce our future net operating revenues and payment rates for fiscal year 2013, CMS adopted a one-time budget neutrality adjustment that results in a permanent negative adjustment of 3.75% to the LTCH base rate. CMS is implementing the adjustment over a three-year period by applying a factor of 0.98734 to the standard federal rate in fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, except that the adjustment would not apply to payments for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2012 through December 28, 2012.

        Proposed Legislation

              On August 2, 2011, the "Long-Term Care Hospital Improvement Act of 2011," was introduced in the United States Senate and referred to the Senate Finance Committee. The proposed legislation would have implemented new patient-level and facility-level criteria for LTCHs, including a standardized preadmission screening process, specific criteria for admission and continued stay in an LTCH, and a list of core services that an LTCH must offer. In addition, the legislation would have required LTCHs to meet additional classification criteria to continue to be paid under LTCH-PPS. After a phase-in period, a threshold percentage of an LTCH's Medicare fee-for-service discharges would have been required to meet specified criteria. The proposed legislation would have repealed, and prohibited CMS from applying, the 25 Percent Rule that applies to Medicare patients discharged from LTCHs who were admitted from a co-located hospital or a non-co-located hospital and caused the LTCH to exceed the applicable percentage thresholds for discharged Medicare patients.

              Though no action was taken by Congress with respect to the proposed legislation, hospital industry groups continue to press for similar legislation. We cannot predict whether legislation similar to the legislation previously proposed will be enacted in the future or, if enacted, to what degree such legislation will resemble the provisions described here.

        Annual Payment Rate Update

      Fiscal Year 2011.    On August 16, 2010, CMS published the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2011 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2011 was $39,600, which was a decrease from the fiscal year 2010 standard federal rate of $39,897 in effect from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and the fiscal year 2010 standard federal rate of $39,795 that went into effect on April 1, 2010. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2011 included a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a reduction of 2.5% to account for what CMS attributed as an increase in case-mix in prior periods that resulted from changes in documentation and coding practices, less an additional market basket reduction of 0.5% as mandated by the PPACA. The final rule established a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2011 of $18,785, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2010 fixed-loss amount of $18,425 in effect from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and the $18,615 fixed-loss amount that went into effect on April 1, 2010.

      Fiscal Year 2012.    On August 18, 2011, CMS published the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2012 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012). The standard federal rate for fiscal year 2012 was $40,222, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2011 standard federal rate of $39,600. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 1.0%, and less an additional market basket reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA. The final rule established a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2012 of $17,931, which was a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2011 fiscal year of $18,785.

      Fiscal Year 2013.    On August 1, 2012, CMS published the final rule updating the policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2013 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). Two different standard federal rates apply during fiscal year 2013. The standard federal rate for discharges on or after October 1, 2012 and before December 29, 2012 is $40,916 and the standard federal rate for discharges on or after December 29, 2012 for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 is $40,398, both of which are an increase from the fiscal year 2012 standard federal rate of $40,222. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2013 through December 28, 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.7%, and less an additional market basket reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA. The standard federal rate for the period of December 29, 2012 through the remainder of fiscal 2013 is further reduced by a portion of the one-time budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed above. The final rule establishes a fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases for fiscal year 2013 of $15,408, which is a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2012 fiscal year of $17,931.

      Fiscal Year 2014.    On August 1, 2013, CMS released an advanced copy of the final rule updating policies and payment rates for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard federal rate was set at $40,607, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during the period from December 29, 2012 through September 30, 2013 of $40,398. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2014, if adopted, would include a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less a reduction of 0.3% mandated by the PPACA, and less a budget neutrality adjustment of 1.266%, as discussed above. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases was set at $13,314, which is a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2013 fiscal year of $15,408.

        Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

              The PPACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment to LTCHs. In fiscal year 2014 the market basket update will be reduced by 0.3%. In fiscal years 2015 and 2016 the market basket update will be reduced by 0.2%. Finally, in fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the market basket update will be


      Table of Contents

      reduced by 0.75%. The PPACA specifically allows these market basket reductions to result in less than a 0% payment update and payment rates that are less than the prior year.

        Medicare Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Servicesprofitability.

              IRFs are paid under a prospective payment system specifically applicable to this provider type, which is referred to as "IRF-PPS." Under the IRF-PPS, each patient discharged from an IRF is assigned to a case mix group, or "IRF-CMG," containing patients with similar clinical conditions that are expected to require similar amounts of resources. An IRF is generally paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned IRF-CMG (subject to applicable case adjustments related to length of stay and facility level adjustments for location and low income patients). The payment amount for each IRF-CMG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient's condition in an IRF relative to patients with conditions described by other IRF-CMGs. The IRF-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient's length of stay, the facility's costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

        Facility Certification Criteria

              Our outpatient rehabilitation hospitals must meet certain facility criteria to be classified as an IRF byclinics receive payments from the Medicare program including: (1)under a provider agreement to participate as a hospital in Medicare; (2) a preadmission screening procedure; (3) ensuring that patients receive close medical supervision and furnish, through the use of qualified personnel, rehabilitation nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, plus, as needed, speech therapy, social or psychological services, and orthotic and prosthetic services; (4) a full-time, qualified director of rehabilitation; (5) a plan of treatment for each inpatient that is established, reviewed, and revised as needed by a physician in consultation with other professional personnel who provide services to the patient; (6) a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach in the rehabilitation of each inpatient, as documented by periodic clinical entries made in the patient's medical record to note the patient's status in relationship to goal attainment, and that team conferences are held at least every two weeks to determine the appropriateness of treatment. Failure to comply with any of the classification criteria may result in the denial of claims for payment or cause a hospital to lose its status as an IRF and be paid under the prospective payment system that applies to general acute care hospitals.

        Patient Classification Criteria

              Under the IRF certification criteria that has been in effect since 1983, in order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital was required to satisfy certain operational criteria as well as demonstrate that, during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it served an inpatient population of whom at least 75% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of 10 conditions specified in the regulation. We refer to such 75% requirement as the "75 Percent Rule."

              New IRF certification criteria became effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2004 as a result of the major changes that CMS adopted on May 7, 2004 to the 75 Percent Rule that: (1) temporarily lowered the 75% compliance threshold (starting at 50% and phasing to 75% over four years), (2) modified and expanded from 10 to 13 the medical conditions used to determine whether a hospital qualifies as an IRF, (3) identified the conditions under which comorbidities can be used to verify compliance with the 75 Percent Rule, and (4) changed the timeframe used to determine compliance with the 75 Percent Rule from "the most recent 12-month cost reporting period" to "the most recent, consecutive, and appropriate 12-month period," with the result that a determination of non-compliance with the applicable compliance threshold will affect the facility's certification as an IRF for its cost reporting period that begins immediately after the 12-month review period.

              Under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, enacted on February 8, 2006, Congress extended the phase-in period for the 75 Percent Rule by maintaining the compliance threshold at 60% (rather than


      Table of Contents

      increasing it to the scheduled 65%) during the 12-month period beginning on July 1, 2006. The compliance threshold was then to increase to 65% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2007 and again to 75% for cost reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008. However, the SCHIP Extension Act included a permanent freeze in the 75 Percent Rule patient classification criteria compliance threshold at 60% (with comorbidities counting toward this threshold) and a payment freeze from April 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009.

              Compliance with the patient classification criteria is demonstrated through either medical review or the "presumptive" method, in which a patient's diagnosis codes are compared to a "presumptive compliance" list. CMS has announced that it will remove a number of diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list. According to CMS, these conditions do not demonstrate the need for intensive inpatient rehabilitation services in the absence of additional facts that would have to be pulled from a patient's medical record. As a result, beginning on or after October 1, 2014, a number of diagnosis codes previously on the presumptive compliance list will be removed, including diagnosis codes in the following categories: non specific diagnosis codes, arthritis diagnosis codes, unilateral upper extremity amputations diagnosis, some congenital anomalies diagnosis codes, other miscellaneous diagnosis codes.

        Annual Payment Rate Update

      Fiscal Year 2011.    On July 22, 2010, CMS published an update to the payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2011 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges during fiscal year 2011 was $13,860, which was an increase from the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2010 of $13,627. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2011 included a market basket increase of 2.5%, less a market basket reduction of 0.25% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2011 to $11,410 from $10,721 established in the revised final rule for fiscal year 2010.

      Fiscal Year 2012.    On August 5, 2011, CMS published the policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2012 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges during fiscal year 2012 was $14,076, which was an increase from the fiscal year 2011 standard payment conversion factor of $13,860. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2012 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 1.0%, and less an additional market basket reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2012 to $10,660 from $11,410 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2011. In a notice published September 26, 2011, CMS corrected its calculation of the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2012 to $10,713.

      Fiscal Year 2013.    On July 30, 2012, CMS published the policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2013 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges during fiscal year 2013 is $14,343, which is an increase from the fiscal year 2012 standard payment conversion factor of $14,076. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2013 includes a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.7%, less an additional reduction of 0.1% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2013 to $10,466 from $10,713 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2012.

      Fiscal Year 2014.    On July 31, 2013, CMS released an advanced copy of the final rule updating policies and payment rates for IRF-PPS for fiscal year 2014 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2014 is $14,846, which is an increase from the fiscal year


      Table of Contents

      2013 standard payment conversion factor of $14,343. The update to the standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2014 includes a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.5%, less an additional reduction of 0.3% as mandated by the PPACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2014 to $9,272 from $10,466 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2013.

        Medicare Market Basket Adjustments

              The PPACA instituted a market basket payment adjustment for IRFs. For fiscal year 2014, the reduction is 0.3%. For fiscal years 2015 and 2016, the reduction is 0.2%. For fiscal years 2017 through 2019, the reduction is 0.75%.

        Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

              The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. The Medicare physician fee schedule rates are automatically updated annually based on a formula, called the sustainable growth rate or "SGR,"("SGR") formula, contained in legislation. The SGR formula has resulted in automatic reductions in rates in every year since 2002; however, for each year through 2013April 1, 2015 CMS or Congress has taken action to prevent the SGR formula reductions. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 froze the Medicare physician fee schedule rates at 2012 levels throughOn December 31, 2013, averting a scheduled 26.5% cut as a result of the SGR formula that would have taken effect on January 1, 2013. On March 5,10, 2013, CMS estimated a 24.4%20.1% reduction in the Medicare physician fee schedule payment rates for calendar year 2014 as a result of the SGR formula. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 prevented the 20.1% reduction for services provided through March 31, 2014. The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 temporarily blocks this reduction through March 31, 2015 and replaces it with a 0.5% payment increase for services provided through December 31, 2014 and a 0% payment update from January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015. Automatic reductions in the Medicare physician fee schedule payment rates will commence on April 1, 2015, unless Congress again takes legislative action to prevent the SGR formula reductions from going into effect. If

              Congress takes such legislative action, the projected impact of the proposed 2014 Medicare physician fee schedule rule on outpatient physical therapy services would be a positive 1% in aggregate for calendar year 2014. However,has established annual caps that limit the amount of paymentthat can be paid (including deductible and coinsurance amounts) for each service would vary depending on the CPT codes billed and the geographic practice cost indices adjustments among localities. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we received approximately 10% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare.

              In addition, MedPAC recommended that Congress direct CMS to collect data on provider service volume and work time to establish more accurate relative value unit payment rates and to identify and reduce overpriced fee schedule services. Similarly, the PPACA requires CMS to identify and review potentially misvalued codes and make appropriate adjustments to the relative values of those services identified as being misvalued. In the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2012 CMS identified several CPT codes used by physical therapists as codes they will review.

        Therapy Caps

              Beginning on January 1, 1999, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 subjected certain outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule to annual limits for therapy expenses. Effective January 1, 2013, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services is $1,900 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,900 for occupational therapy services. The per beneficiary caps were $1,880 for calendar year 2012. It is anticipated thatrendered to any Medicare beneficiary. As directed by Congress in calendar year 2014 the therapy cap will be the 2013 rate increased by the percentage increase in the Medicare Economic Index. The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital departments. Although, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the annual limits on therapy expenses and manual medical review thresholds to services furnished in hospital outpatient department settings from October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. The application of annual limits to hospital outpatient department settings will sunset at the end of 2013 unless Congress extends it into 2014. We operated 979 outpatient rehabilitation clinics at December 31, 2012, of which 145 were provider-based outpatient rehabilitation clinics operated as departments of the inpatient rehabilitation hospitals we operated.


      Table of Contents

              In the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, CongressCMS implemented an exceptionsexception process to the annual limit for therapy expenses.expenses incurred in 2006. Under this process, a Medicare enrollee (or person acting on behalf of the Medicare enrollee) iswas able to request an exception from the therapy caps if the provision of therapy services was deemed to be medically necessary. Therapy cap exceptions have beenwere available automatically for certain conditions and on a case-by-case basis upon submission of documentation of medical necessity. The American Taxpayer Reliefexception process has been extended by Congress several times. Most recently, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2012 extends2014 extended the exceptions process for outpatient therapy caps through DecemberMarch 31, 2013. Unless2015. The exception process will expire on April 1, 2015 unless further extended by Congress. There can be no assurance that Congress extendswill extend it further. To date, the exceptions process,implementation of the therapy caps will apply to all outpatient therapy services beginning January 1, 2014, except those services furnishedhas not had a material adverse effect on our business. However, if the exception process is not renewed, our future net operating revenues and billed by outpatient hospital departments.profitability may decline.

              The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 made several changes to the exceptions process to the annual limit for therapy expenses. For any claim above the annual limit, the claim must contain a modifier indicating that the services are medically necessary and justified by appropriate documentation in the medical record. Effective October 1, 2012, all claims exceeding $3,700 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,700 threshold is applied separately to the combined physical therapy/speech therapy cap and the occupational therapy cap. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extends through December 31, 2013 the requirement that Medicare perform manual medical review of therapy services when an exception is requested for cases in which the beneficiary has reached a specified dollar aggregate threshold. Effective October 1, 2012, all therapy claims, whether above or below the annual limit, must include the national provider identifier (NPI) of the physician responsible for certifying and periodically reviewing the plan of care.

              Several government agencies are expected to release reports on aspects of the Medicare payment system for therapy services. In the final 2011 Medicare physician fee schedule rule, CMS indicated the agency is evaluating alternative payment methodologies that would provide appropriate payment for medically necessary and effective therapy services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries based on patient needs rather than the current therapy caps. The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 directed MedPAC to submit a report to Congress by June 15, 2013 making recommendations on how to reform the payment system to better reflect acuity, condition, and the therapy needs of the patient. The MedPAC report is to include an examination of private sector initiatives related to therapy benefits. In addition, the Government Accountability Office, or "GAO," was directed to issue a report no later than May 1, 2013 regarding implementation of the manual medical review process instituted by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The report must detail the number of beneficiaries subject to the process, the number of reviews conducted, and the outcome of the reviews. Finally, The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 directed CMS to implement a claims-based data collection effort. Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2013, CMS is required to collect additional data on therapy claims related to patient function during the course of therapy in order to better understand patient conditions and outcomes. While reporting of data will begin on January 1, 2013, the first 6 months of the year will be a testing period for providers. Beginning on July 1, 2013, CMS will reject claims that do not include the required data codes and modifiers. The stated purpose of the claims based data collection effort is to assist in reforming the Medicare payment system for outpatient therapy services.

        Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction

              CMS adopted a multiple procedure payment reduction for therapy services in the final update to the Medicare physician fee schedule for calendar year 2011. This multiple procedure payment reductionThe policy became effective January 1,


      Table of Contents

      2011 and applies to all outpatient therapy services paid under Medicare Part B. Furthermore, the multiple procedure payment reduction policy applies across all therapy disciplines—B—occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology. Under the policy, the Medicare program pays 100% of the practice expense component of the therapy procedure or unit of service with the highest Relative Value Unit, and then reduces the payment for the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy procedures or units of service furnished


      Table of Contents

      during the same day for the same patient, regardless of whether those therapy services are furnished in separate sessions. In 2011 and 2012 the second and subsequent therapy service furnished during the same day for the same patient werewas reduced by 20% in office and other non-institutional settings and by 25% in institutional settings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increasesincreased the payment reduction to 50%, in either setting, effective April 1, 2013. Our outpatient rehabilitation therapy services are primarily offered in institutional settings and, as such, arewere subject to the applicable 25% payment reduction in the practice expense component for the second and subsequent therapy services furnished by us to the same patient on the same day until April 1, 2013 when the payment reduction increased to 50%. In 2013, this reduction will be partially offset due to the phaseSee "Business—Government Regulations" in of the final year of the transition to the new practice expense relative value units that resulted from CMS's use of new survey data.

        Other Requirements for Payment

              Historically, outpatient rehabilitation services have been subject to scrutiny by the Medicare program for, among other things, medical necessity for services, appropriate documentation for services, supervision of therapy aides and students and billing for single rather than group therapy when services are furnished to more than one patient. CMS has issued guidance to clarify that services performed by a student are not reimbursed even if provided under "line of sight" supervision of the therapist. Likewise, CMS has reiterated that Medicare does not pay for services provided by aides regardless of the level of supervision. CMS also has issued instructions that outpatient physical and occupational therapy services provided simultaneously to two or more individuals by a practitioner should be billed as group therapy services.

        Budget Control Act of 2011

              The Budget Control Act of 2011, enactedour annual report on August 2, 2011, increased the federal debt ceiling in connection with deficit reductions over the next ten years. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires automatic reductions in federal spending by approximately $1.2 trillion split evenly between domestic and defense spending. Payments to Medicare providers are subject to these automatic spending reductions, subject to a 2% cap. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 temporarily delays the automatic, across-the-board "sequestration" cuts in federal spending imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011, which are expected to reduce Medicare payments by more than $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2013 and $123 billion over the period of fiscal years 2013 to 2021. On April 1, 2013, a 2% reduction to Medicare payments was implemented. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, this reduction has reduced our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $9.5 million. We have estimated that this reduction will reduce our net operating revenues and income from operations by approximately $16.0 million to $17.0 million for the remainder of 2013.

        Specialty Hospital Medicaid Reimbursement

              The Medicaid program is designed to provide medical assistance to individuals unable to afford care. The program is governed by the Social Security Act of 1965, funded jointly by each individual state and the federal government, and administered by state agencies. Medicaid payments are made under a number of different systems, which include cost based reimbursement, prospective payment systems or programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. In addition, Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy by the state agencies and certain government funding limitations, all of which may increase or decrease the level of program payments to our hospitals. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicaid program represented approximately 5% of our specialty hospital net operating revenuesForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.2013, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

        Workers' Compensation

              Workers' compensation is a state mandated, comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund or insure medical expenses, lost wages and other costs resulting from work related injuries and illnesses. Workers' compensation benefits and arrangements varyRegulations limiting the diagnosis codes on a state-by-state basis and are often highly complex. In some states, payment for services covered by workers' compensation programs are subject to cost containment features, such as requirements that all workers' compensation injuries be treated through a managed care program, or the imposition of payment caps. In addition, these workers' compensation programs may impose requirements thatpresumptive compliance list could adversely affect the operations of our outpatient rehabilitation services. Net operating revenues generated directly from workers' compensation programs represented approximately 18% of our net operating revenue and profitability.

              As of December 31, 2013, we operated 15 IRFs, all of which are currently certified by Medicare as IRFs. IRFs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, outpatient rehabilitation servicesthe Medicare program as an IRF. Among other things, at least 60 percent of the IRF's total inpatient population must require treatment for one or more of 13 conditions specified by regulation. This requirement is commonly referred to as the "60 percent rule." Compliance with the 60 percent rule is demonstrated through a two step process. The first step is the "presumptive" method, in which patient diagnosis codes are compared to a "presumptive compliance" list. IRFs that fail to demonstrate compliance with the 60 percent rule using this presumptive test may demonstrate compliance through a second step involving an audit of the facility's medical records to assess compliance. Beginning on October 1, 2014, CMS removed a number of diagnosis codes previously on the presumptive compliance list. If an IRF does not demonstrate compliance with the 60 percent rule by either the presumptive method or through a review of medical records, then the facility's classification as an IRF may be terminated at the start of its next cost reporting period causing the facility to be paid as a general acute care hospital under IPPS. By removing diagnosis codes from the presumptive compliance list our facilities may be required to demonstrate compliance with the 60 percent rule through medical record reviews. If our IRFs fail to demonstrate compliance with the 60 percent rule through either method and 1% ofare classified as general acute care hospitals, our net operating revenue from our specialty hospitals for the year ended December 31, 2012.and profitability may be adversely affected.

        Other Medicare RegulationsOur facilities are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable information.

        Medicare Quality Reporting

              The PPACA established quality reporting requirements for LTCHsHealth Insurance Portability and IRFs. These programs are mandatory. For fiscal year 2014Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") required the United States Department of Health and each subsequent year, LTCHsHuman Services to adopt standards to protect the privacy and IRFs that do not submit the required quality data will be subject to a 2 percentage point reductionsecurity of individually identifiable health-related information. The department released final regulations containing privacy standards in their annual payment update. The reduction can result in payment rates less than the prior year. However, the reduction will not carry over into the subsequent fiscal years.

        Medicare Productivity Adjustment

              The PPACA implemented a separate annual productivity adjustment for the first time for hospital inpatient services beginning in fiscal year 2012 for LTCHsDecember 2000 and IRFs. This provision applied a negative productivity adjustmentpublished revisions to the market basketfinal regulations in August 2002. The privacy regulations extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health-related information. The regulations also provide patients with significant new rights related to understanding and controlling how their health information is used or disclosed. The security regulations require healthcare providers to implement administrative, physical and technical practices to protect the security of individually identifiable health information that is used to updatemaintained or transmitted electronically. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ("HITECH"), which was signed into law in February of 2009, enhanced the standard federal rate on an annual basis. The market basket does not currently account for increases in provider productivity that could reduce the actual cost of providing services (e.g., through new technology or fewer inputs). The productivity adjustment will equal the 10-year moving average of changes in the annual economy-wide private non-farm business multi-factor productivity. This is a statistic reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and updated in the spring of each year. While this adjustment will change each year, it is currently estimated that this adjustment to the market basket will be approximately minus 1.0% on average.

        Hospital Wage Index

              As part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to LTCHs and IRFs, CMS adjusts the standard payment amounts for area differences in hospital wage levels by a factor reflecting the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area of the hospital compared to the national average hospital wage level. This adjustment factor is the hospital wage index. CMS currently defines hospital geographic areas (labor market areas) based on the definitions of Core-Based Statistical Areas established by the Office of Management and Budget. The PPACA calls for CMS to develop and present to Congress a comprehensive reform plan using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, or other data or methodologies, to calculate relative wages for each geographic area involved. In the preamble to the proposed rule for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2012, CMS solicited public comments on ways to redefine the geographic reclassification requirements to more accurately define labor markets. To date CMS has not presented a comprehensive reform plan to Congress.

        Independent Payment Advisory Board

              The PPACA established an independent board called the Independent Payment Advisory Board that will develop and submit proposals to the President and Congress beginning in 2014. Theprivacy, security


      Table of Contents

      Independent Payment Advisory Board's proposals mustand enforcement provisions of HIPAA by, among other things establishing security breach notification requirements, allowing enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increasing penalties for HIPAA violations. Violations of HIPAA or HITECH could result in civil or criminal penalties.

              In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur.

              We have developed a comprehensive set of policies and procedures in our efforts to comply with HIPAA and other privacy laws. Our compliance officer, privacy officer and information security officer are responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with our privacy and security policies and procedures at our facilities. We believe that the cost of our compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state privacy laws will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be designedno assurance that a breach of privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to reducevarious penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

      As a result of increased post-payment reviews of claims we submit to Medicare spending by targetedfor our services, we may incur additional costs and may be required to repay amounts comparedalready paid to us.

              We are subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigations and audits of the trajectoryclaims we submit to Medicare for payment for our services. These post-payment reviews are increasing as a result of new government cost-containment initiatives, including enhanced medical necessity reviews for Medicare patients admitted to LTCHs, and audits of Medicare spendingclaims under current law. The Independent Payment Advisory Board's first proposalthe Recovery Audit Contractor program. These additional post-payment reviews may require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and to pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately may require us to refund amounts paid to us by Medicare that are determined to have been overpaid.

      We may be adversely affected by negative publicity which can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes.

              Negative press coverage can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes. Adverse publicity and increased governmental scrutiny can have a negative impact on our reputation with savings recommendationsreferral sources and patients and on the morale and performance of our employees, both of which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

      Future acquisitions may use significant resources, may be submitted by January 14, 2014,unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

              As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and other related healthcare facilities and services. These acquisitions may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

              We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses into ours, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits from an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Acquisitions could result in difficulties integrating acquired operations, technologies and personnel into our business. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients acquired through acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration efforts. Acquisitions could also have a negative impact on our results

      Future joint ventures may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

              As part of our growth strategy, we may partner with large health care systems to provide post acute care services. These joint ventures may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

              A joint venture involves the combining of corporate cultures and mission. As a result, we may not be able to successfully operate a joint venture, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits. If we fail to successfully execute a joint venture relationship, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. A new joint venture could result in 2015, if the Medicare per capita target growth rate is exceeded, as describeddifficulties in the PPACA. However, the Independent Payment Advisory Board is precludedcombining operations, technologies and personnel.

                A joint venture is operated through a board of directors that contains representatives of Select and other parties to the joint venture. We may not control the board or some actions of the board may require supermajority votes. As a result, the joint venture may elect certain actions that could have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

              CMS regulations includeInitiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect the profitability of our specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics. These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services on a numberdiscounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.

      If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve, our net operating revenues may decrease.

              Our success is partially dependent upon the admissions and referral practices of hospital ownershipthe physicians in the communities our hospitals and our outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain good relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees and, in many of the local areas that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer their patients to other providers. If we are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these physicians, our hospitals' admissions and clinics' businesses may decrease, and our net operating revenues may decline.

      Changes in federal or state law limiting or prohibiting certain physician referrals may preclude physicians from investing in our hospitals or referring to hospitals in which they already own an interest.

              The federal self referral provisions, including certain obligations requiring physician-owned hospitals to disclose ownership or investment interests held by thelaw ("Stark Law") prohibits a physician who has a financial relationship with an entity from referring physician or his or her immediate family members. In particular, physician-owned hospitals must furnishMedicare or Medicaid patients to patients, on request, a list of physicians or immediate family members who own or invest in the hospital. Moreover, a physician-ownedthat entity for certain designated health services, including inpatient and outpatient hospital must require all physician owners or investors who are also active members of the hospital's medical staff to disclose in writing their ownership or investment interests in the hospital to all patients they refer to the hospital. CMS can terminate the Medicare provider agreement of a physician-owned hospital if it fails to comply with these disclosure provisions or with the requirement that a hospital disclose in writing to all patients whether there is a physician on-site at the hospital 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

      services. Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the PPACA, the exception to the federal self-referral law, or "Stark law,"Stark Law that permitspreviously permitted physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has been dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals, including LTCHs and IRFs, with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-ownedphysician- owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the percentage of physician ownership or investment interests held in the hospital after March 23, 2010. In addition, physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to the hospital's location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician-owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety. AsFurthermore, initiatives are underway in some states to restrict physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals. Currently, 11 of our consolidating hospitals have physicians as minority owners. The aggregate net operating revenue of these 11 hospitals was $194.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, we operated ten2013, or approximately 6.5% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. The range of physician minority ownership of these 11 hospitals was 2.1% to 49.0% as of the year ended December 31, 2013. There can be no assurance that new legislation or regulation prohibiting or limiting physician referrals to physician-owned hospitals will not be successfully enacted in the future. If such federal or state laws are owned in-part by physicians.adopted, among other outcomes, physicians who have invested in our hospitals could be precluded from referring to, investing in or continuing to be physician owners of a hospital. In addition, expansion of our physician-owned hospitals may be limited, and the revenues, profitability and overall financial performance of our hospitals may be negatively affected.

        Provider and Employee ScreeningWe could experience significant increases to our operating costs due to shortages of healthcare professionals or union activity.

              Our specialty hospitals are highly dependent on nurses, and our outpatient rehabilitation division is highly dependent on therapists, for patient care. The PPACA imposed new screening requirements on all Medicaremarket for qualified healthcare professionals is highly competitive. We have sometimes experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future. Additionally, the cost of attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel may be higher than we anticipate, and as a result, our profitability could decline.

              In addition, U.S. healthcare providers including LTCHs, IRFsare continuing to see an increase in the amount of union activity. Though we cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by future union activity, there are continuing legislative proposals that could result in increased union activity. We could experience an increase in labor and other costs from such union activity.

      Competition may limit our ability to acquire hospitals and clinics and adversely affect our growth.

              We have historically faced limited competition in acquiring specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation providers. The screening must include a licensure checkclinics, but we may face heightened competition in the future. Our competitors may acquire or seek to acquire many of the hospitals and clinics that would be suitable acquisition candidates for us. This increased competition could hamper our ability to acquire companies, or such increased competition may include other procedures such as a criminal background check, fingerprinting, unscheduled and unannounced site visits, database checks, and other screening techniques CMS deems appropriate to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. Effective March 23, 2011, Medicare providers and suppliers submitting new enrollment applications or revalidating their existing enrollment status are requiredcause us to pay a $500 application fee that is adjusted annually by the percentage change in the consumerhigher price index. The PPACA also imposed new disclosure requirements and authorizes surety bonds for the enrollment of new providers and suppliers.

              In addition, the PPACA requires LTCHs to conduct national and state criminal background checks, including fingerprint checks of their employees and contractors who have (or may have) one-on-one contact with patients. Our LTCHs are prohibited from hiring or retaining workers with a history of patient or resident abuse.

        Medicare Compliance Requirements and Penalties

              The PPACA included new compliance requirements and increases existing penalties for non-compliance with federal law and the Medicare conditions of participation. In addition, Medicare claims will be paid only if submitted within 12 months. Penalties for submitting false claims and for submitting false statements material to a false claim will be increased. The Secretary will be granted the authority to suspend payments to a provider pending an investigation of credible allegations of fraud. Further, the Recovery Audit Contractor program has been extended to Medicare Parts C and D and Medicaid.

        Other Healthcare Regulations

              Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors.    The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 instructed CMS to contract with third-party organizations, known as Recovery Audit Contractors, or "RACs," to identify Medicare underpayments and overpayments, and to authorize RACs to recoup any overpayments. The compensation paid to each RAC is based on a percentage of overpayment recoveries identified by the RAC. CMS has selected and entered into contracts with four RACs, each of which has begun their audit activities in specific jurisdictions. RAC audits of our Medicare reimbursement may lead to assertions thatthan we have been overpaid, require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately require us to refund any amounts determined to have been overpaid. We cannot predict the impact of future RAC reviews on our results of operations or cash flows.

              Fraud and Abuse Enforcement.    Various federal and state laws prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain payment under Medicare, Medicaid and other government healthcare programs. Penalties for violation of these laws include civil and criminal fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs. In recent years, federal and state government agencies have increased the level of enforcement resources and activities targeted at the healthcare industry. In addition, the federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes allow individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government, in what are known as qui tam or "whistleblower" actions, alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims or other violations of the statute. The use of these private enforcement actions against healthcare providers has increased dramatically in recent years, in part because the individual filing the initial complaint is entitled to sharewould otherwise pay in a portion of any settlement or judgment. Revisions to the False Claims Act enacted in 2009 expanded significantly the scope of liability, provided for new investigative tools,less competitive environment. Increased competition from both strategic and made it easier for whistleblowers to bring and maintain False Claims Act suits on behalf of the government. See "—Legal Proceedings."

              From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or "OIG," issue a variety of pronouncements, including fraud alerts, the OIG's Annual Work Plan and other reports, identifying practices that may be subject to heightened scrutiny. These pronouncements can identify issues relating to LTCHs, IRFs or outpatient rehabilitation services or providers. For example, the OIG's 2010 and 2011 Work Plans identified as an area of concern whether the patient assessment instruments prepared by IRFs were submitted in accordance with Medicare regulations. Among other things, the 2011 Work Plan indicated that CMS would review the appropriateness of provider-based designations for outpatient clinics, outlier payments made to hospitals for beneficiaries who incur unusually high costs, and the effectiveness of a claims processing edit designed to capture hospital readmissions that are subject to a single payment for both inpatient stays. The 2012 Work Plan identified the appropriateness of admissions to IRFs as an area subject to review. The OIG indicated that it would examine the level of therapy being provided in IRFs and how much concurrent and group therapy IRFs are providing. Under the 2012 work plan, the OIG also will review the quality of care and safety of Medicare beneficiaries transferred from general acute care hospitals to IRFs and LTCHs. We monitor government publications applicable to us to supplement and enhance our compliance efforts.financial buyers could limit

If we identify any practices as being potentially contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate action to address the matter, including, where appropriate, disclosure to the proper authorities, which may result in a voluntary refund of monies to Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare programs.therefore decrease our profitability.

              Remuneration and Fraud Measures.    The federal anti-kickback statute prohibits some business practices and relationships under Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. These practices include the payment, receipt, offer or solicitation of remuneration in connection with, to induce, or to arrange for, the referral of patients covered by a federal or state healthcare program. Violations of the anti-kickback law may be punished by a criminal fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for each violation, or both, civil monetary penalties of $50,000 and damages of up to three times the total amount of remuneration, and exclusion from participation in federal or state healthcare programs.

              The Stark Law prohibits referrals for designated health services by physicians under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to other healthcare providers in which the physicians have an ownership or compensation arrangement unless an exception applies. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare programs. The statute also provides a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme. In addition, many states have adopted or may adopt similar anti-kickback or anti-self-referral statutes. Some of these statutes prohibit the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of patients, regardless of the source of the payment for the care. While we do not believe our arrangements are in violation of these prohibitions, we cannot assure you that governmental officials charged with the responsibility for enforcing the provisions of these prohibitions will not assert that one or more of our arrangements are in violation of the provisions of such laws and regulations.

              Provider-Based Status.    The designation "provider-based" refers to circumstances in which a subordinate facility (e.g., a separately certified Medicare provider, a department of a provider or a satellite facility) is treated as part of a provider for Medicare payment purposes. In these cases, the services of the subordinate facility are included on the "main" provider's cost report and overhead costs of the main provider can be allocated to the subordinate facility, to the extent that they are shared. As of December 31, 2012, we operated 18 specialty hospitals that were treated as provider-based satellites of certain of our other facilities, 145 of the outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operated were provider-based and are operated as departments of the IRFs we operated, and we provide rehabilitation management and staffing services to hospital rehabilitation departments that may be treated as provider-based. These facilities are required to satisfy certain operational standards in order to retain their provider-based status.

              Health Information Practices.    HIPAA mandates the adoption of standards for the exchange of electronic health information in an effort to encourage overall administrative simplification and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare industry, while maintaining the privacy and security of health information. Among the standards that the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted or will adopt pursuant to HIPAA are standards for electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers (referred to as National Provider Identifier), employers, health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy and enforcement. If we fail to complycompete effectively with the HIPAA requirements, we could be subject to criminal penaltiesother hospitals, clinics and civil sanctions. The privacy, security and enforcement provisions of HIPAA were enhanced by the HITECH Act which was includedhealthcare providers in the ARRA. Among other things, HITECH establishes security breach notification requirements, allows enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general,local areas we serve, our net operating revenues and increases penalties for HIPAA violations.


      Table of Contentsprofitability may decline.

              The Department of Healthhealthcare business is highly competitive, and Human Services has adopted standards in three areas in which we are required to comply that affect our operations.

              Standards relating to the privacy of individually identifiable health information govern our use and disclosure of protected health information and require us to impose those rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom such information is disclosed.

              Standards relating to electronic transactions and code sets require the use of uniform standards for common healthcare transactions, including healthcare claims information, plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan enrollment and disenrollment, payment and remittance advice, plan premium payments and coordination of benefits.

              Standards for the security of electronic health information require us to implement various administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of electronic protected health information.

              We maintain a HIPAA committee that is chargedcompete with evaluating and monitoring our compliance with HIPAA. The HIPAA committee monitors regulations promulgated under HIPAA as they have been adopted to date and as additional standards and modifications are adopted. Although health information standards have had a significant effect on the manner in which we handle health data and communicate with payors, the cost of our compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot estimate the cost of compliance with standards that have not been issued or finalized by the Department of Health and Human Services.

              In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur. Although our policies and procedures are aimed at complying with privacy and security requirements and minimizing the risks of any breach of privacy or security, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

      Compliance Program

        Our Compliance Program

              In late 1998, we voluntarily adopted our code of conduct. The code is reviewed and amended as necessary and is the basis for our company-wide compliance program. Our written code of conduct provides guidelines for principles and regulatory rules that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. These guidelines are implemented by a compliance officer, a compliance and internal audit committee, and employee education and training. We also have established a reporting system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the code's policies.

        Compliance and Internal Audit Committee

              Our compliance and internal audit committee is made up of members of our senior management and in-house counsel. The compliance and internal audit committee meets on a quarterly basis and reviews the activities, reports and operation of our compliance program. In addition, the HIPAA committee provides reports to the compliance and internal audit committee. The vice president of compliance and audit services meets with the compliance and internal audit committee on a quarterly basis to provide an overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.


      Table of Contents

        Operating Our Compliance Program

              We focus on integrating compliance responsibilities with operational functions. We recognize that our compliance with applicable laws and regulations depends upon individual employee actions as well as company operations. As a result, we have adopted an operations team approach to compliance. Our corporate executives, with the assistance of corporate experts, designed the programs of the compliance and internal audit committee. We utilize facility leaders for employee-level implementation of our code of conduct. This approach is intended to reinforce our company-wide commitment to operate in accordance with the laws and regulations that govern our business.

        Compliance Issue Reporting

              In order to facilitate our employees' ability to report known, suspected or potential violations of our code of conduct, we have developed a system of reporting. This reporting, anonymous or attributable, may be accomplished through our toll-free compliance hotline, compliance e-mail address or our compliance post office box. The compliance officer and the compliance and internal audit committee are responsible for reviewing and investigating each compliance incident in accordance with the compliance and audit services department's investigation policy.

        Compliance Monitoring and Auditing/Comprehensive Training and Education

              Monitoring reports and the results of compliance for each of our business segments are reported to the compliance and internal audit committee on a quarterly basis. We train and educate our employees regarding the code of conduct, as well as the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to each employee's work environment. New and current employees are required to acknowledge and certify that the employee has read, understood and has agreed to abide by the code of conduct. Additionally, all employees are required to re-certify compliance with the code on an annual basis.

        Policies and Procedures Reflecting Compliance Focus Areas

              We review our policies and procedures for our compliance program from time to time in order to improve operations and to ensure compliance with requirements of standards, laws and regulations and to reflect the ongoing compliance focus areas which have been identified by the compliance and internal audit committee.

        Internal Audit

              In addition to and in support of the efforts of our compliance and audit department, during 2001 we established an internal audit function. The vice president of compliance and audit services manages the combined compliance and audit department and meets with the audit and compliance committee of the board of directors on a quarterly basis to discuss audit results and provide an overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.

      Properties

              We currently lease most of our facilities, including clinics, offices, specialtyother hospitals, and our corporate headquarters. We own 25 of our specialty hospitals.

      Legal Proceedings

              To cover claims arising out of the operationsprofitability may decline. Many of our specialty hospitals andoperate in geographic areas where we compete with at least one other hospital that provides similar services. Our outpatient rehabilitation facilities,clinics face competition from a variety of local and national outpatient rehabilitation providers. Other outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas we serve may have greater name recognition and longer operating histories than our clinics. The managers of these clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their communities, which could give them a competitive advantage for patient referrals.

      Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.

              Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and other key employees, and our ability to retain and motivate these individuals. We currently have employment agreements in place with four executive officers and change in control agreements and/or non-competition agreements with several other officers. Many of these individuals also have significant equity ownership in Holdings. We do not maintain any key life insurance policies for any of our employees. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could disrupt significant aspects of our business, could prevent us from successfully executing our business strategy and could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

      Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

              Physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs. We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. These whistleblower lawsuits are not covered by insurance and can involve significant monetary damages and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. See "Legal Proceedings" and Note 15 in our audited consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and "Legal Proceedings" and Note 9 in our consolidated financial statements in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

              We currently maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance. We also maintain umbrellainsurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of $30.0 million. Our insurance for the professional liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered bycoverage is written on a "claims-made" basis and our other insurance policies.commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an "occurrence" basis. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

              We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include malpractice claims covered under insurance policies, subject tocoverages apply after a self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. InWe review our opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or flows.

              Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknowninsurance program annually and may make adjustments to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether oramount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. In addition, our insurance coverage does not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetarygenerally cover punitive damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. We have been a defendantmay not cover all claims against us. See "Business—Government Regulations—Other Healthcare Regulations" in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

              On January 8, 2013, a federal magistrate judge unsealed an Amended Complaint in United States of America and the State of Indiana, ex rel. Doe I, Doe II and Doe III v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital-Evansville, Evansville Physician Investment Corporation, Dr. Richard Sloan and Dr. Jeffrey Selby. The Amended Complaint, which was servedour annual report on the Company on February 15, 2013, is a civil action filed under seal on September 28, 2012 in the United States District CourtForm 10-K for the Southern District of Indianayear ended December 31, 2013, incorporated by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States and the state of Indiana under the federal False Claims Act and Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act. Although the Amended Complaint identifies the relators by fictitious pseudonyms, on March 28, 2013, the relators filed a Notice identifying themselves as the former CEO at the Company's long term acute care hospital in Evansville, Indiana ("SSH-Evansville") and two former case managers at SSH-Evansville. The named defendants include the Company, SSH-Evansville, and two physicians who have practiced at SSH-Evansville. On March 26, 2013, the defendants, relators and the United States filed a joint motion seeking a stay of the proceedings, in which the United States notified the court that its investigation has not been completed and therefore it is not yet able to decide whether or not to intervene, and on March 29, 2013, the magistrate judge granted the motion and stayed all deadlines in the case for 90 days. On June 26, 2013, the United States filed a motion seeking to extend such stay of the proceedings for an additional 90 days, and on June 27, 2013, the defendants each filed a notice of consent to the requested stay. On August 12, 2013, the court granted the motion and stayed all deadlines in the case until October 1, 2013.

              The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants manipulated the length of stay of patients at SSH-Evansville in order to maximize reimbursement under the Medicare prospective payment system applicable to long term acute care hospitals. It also alleges that the defendants manipulated the discharge of patients to other facilities and the timing of readmissions from those facilities in order to enable SSH-Evansville to receive two separate Medicare payments and causing the other facility to submit claims for unnecessary services. The Amended Complaint discusses the federal Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute and implies that the behavior of physicians referring to or providing services at SSH-Evansville was based on their financial interests. The Amended Complaint further alleges that Dr. Selby, a pulmonologist formerly on the medical staff of SSH-Evansville, performed unnecessaryreference into this prospectus.

      Corporate Governance

              In accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and Holdings' Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, its business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Although Holdings' non-management directors are not involved in the day-to-day operating details, they are kept informed of our business through written reports and documents provided to them regularly, as well as by operating, financial and other reports presented by the officers at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors.

        Independence

              In 2013, the Board of Directors undertook a review of the independence of Holdings' directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that five of Holdings' nine current directors are "independent" as defined in the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or the "NYSE". The following directors were determined to be independent: Bryan C. Cressey, James E. Dalton, Jr., James S. Ely III, William H. Frist, M.D. and Leopold Swergold.

        Meetings of the Board of Directors and Stockholders

              It is the policy of the Board of Directors to meet at least quarterly. The Board of Directors held five meetings in fiscal year 2012. During fiscal year 2012, each of the current directors attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the meetings of any committee of which they are a member, except Dr. Frist did not attend the October 18, 2012 meeting of the Board of Directors. It is also the policy of the Board of Directors that the independent members of the Board of Directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions of the Board of Directors without management. An independent director serves as the presiding director over such executive sessions, or the "Presiding Director". The independent director serving as the Presiding Director rotates quarterly, based on alphabetical order by last name. In addition, Holdings' directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, and all of Holdings' directors who were serving as directors at the time of the 2012 annual meeting, except for Mr. Scully, attended the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

        Corporate Governance Matters

              The Board of Directors adopted corporate governance guidelines in September 2009, which can be found on our website atwww.selectmedicalholdings.com. Under these guidelines, directors are expected to advise the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee prior to accepting any other public company directorship or any assignment to the audit committee or compensation committee of the board of directors of any public company of which such director is a member. Directors are also expected to report changes in their business or professional affiliations or responsibilities, including retirement, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A director is expected to offer to resign if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee concludes that the director no longer meets our requirements for service on the Board of Directors. There are no pre-determined limitations on the number of other boards of directors on which our directors may serve; however, the Board of Directors expects individual directors to use their judgment in accepting other directorships and to allow sufficient time and attention to company matters. There are no set


      Table of Contents

      term limits for directors. As an alternative to term limits, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review each director's continuation on the Board of Directors every three years.

        Communications with the Board of Directors

              If you would like to communicate with all of the directors, please send a letter to the following address: Select Medical Corporation, Attention: Board of Directors c/o Michael E. Tarvin, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, 4714 Gettysburg Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055. The Secretary will forward such communication to each of the members of the Board of Directors.

              If you would like to communicate with the independent members of the Board of Directors, including the Presiding Director, please send a letter to the following address: Select Medical Corporation, Attention: Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee c/o Michael E. Tarvin, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, 4714 Gettysburg Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055. The Secretary will forward such communication to the independent members of the Board of Directors.

        Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics

              We are committed to ethical business practices. In 1998, we voluntarily adopted a Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is reviewed and amended as necessary and is the basis for our compliance program. The Code of Conduct provides guidelines for principles and regulatory rules that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. These guidelines are implemented by a compliance officer, a compliance committee, and employee education and training. We have also established a reporting system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the Code of Conduct's policies. This Code of Conduct applies to all of our employees and directors. In September 2009, Holdings adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which includes the code of ethics for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer within the meaning of the SEC regulations adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers can be found on our website atwww.selectmedicalholdings.com. Any amendments to the Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers or waivers from the provisions of the Code of Conduct or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers for Holdings' principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer will be disclosed on our website promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver. Please note that none of the information on Holdings' website is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

        Board Leadership

              The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors should be separate. However, since its inception, Holdings had separate individuals serve in those positions. Since 2005, its Board of Directors has been led by Rocco A. Ortenzio as Executive Chairman, and Robert A. Ortenzio has served as its Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors has carefully considered its leadership structure and believes at this time that Holdings and its stockholders are best served by having the positions of Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer filled by different individuals. This allows the Chief Executive Officer to, among other things, focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Executive Chairman to lead the Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice and oversight of management. Further, the Board of Directors believes that having the Executive Chairman serve dual roles as chairman of the Board of Directors and as an executive officer of Holdings promotes information flow between management and the Board of Directors, effective decision making and an alignment of corporate strategy. Moreover, the Board of Directors believes that its other structural


      Table of Contents

      features, including five independent directors and seven non-management directors on a board consisting of nine directors, regular meetings of independent directors in executive session and key committees consisting wholly of independent directors, provide for substantial independent oversight of our and Holdings' management. However, the Board of Directors recognizes that depending on future circumstances, other leadership models may become more appropriate. Accordingly, the Board of Directors will continue to periodically review its leadership structure.

        Risk Oversight

              We face a number of risks, including regulatory risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, reputational risk and risk from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks faced by us, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors seeks to ensure that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate. The Board of Directors periodically consults with management regarding our risks.

              While the Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, Holdings' four board committees assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Audit and Compliance Committee assists the Board of Directors in overseeing risk management in the areas of financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and periodically reviews with management, internal auditors and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our policies for assessing and managing risk. The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in oversight and management of risks related to our and Holdings' compensation policies and programs. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in oversight and management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, succession planning for Holdings' directors and officers and corporate governance. The Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee assists the Board of Directors in the oversight and management of risk associated with our policies and procedures relating to the delivery of quality medical care to patients.

        Committees of the Board of Directors

              The Board of Directors currently has four standing committees. Charters for each of these committees can be found on Holdings' website atwww.selectmedicalholdings.com.

              Audit and Compliance Committee—The Audit and Compliance Committee is governed by a written charter adopted in February 2010. The primary responsibility of the Audit and Compliance Committee is to oversee Holdings' financial reporting process and compliance program on behalf of the Board of Directors and to regularly report the results of its activities to the Board of Directors. The Audit and Compliance Committee assists the Board of Directors in the oversight of the integrity of Holdings' financial statements and financial reporting process, the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the performance of Holdings' internal audit function and independent auditors, the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, the annual independent audit of Holdings' financial statements, the selection and performance of Holdings' compliance officer, the effectiveness of the structure and operations of Holdings' compliance program, our compliance with each of Holdings' Code of Conduct and the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and other legal compliance and ethics programs established by management and the Board of Directors and Holdings' compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In so doing, the Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible for maintaining free and open communication among its members, the independent registered public accounting firm, the internal auditors and our management. A detailed list of the Audit and Compliance Committee's functions is included in its charter. The Audit and Compliance

      Committee charter is annually reviewed and ratified by the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Board of Directors.

              The current members of the Audit and Compliance Committee are Messrs. Dalton, Ely and Swergold. The composition of the Audit and Compliance Committee satisfies the independence and financial literacy requirements of the NYSE and the SEC. The financial literacy standards require that each member of the Audit and Compliance Committee be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. In addition, at least one member of the Audit and Compliance Committee must qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, and have financial sophistication in accordance with the rules of the NYSE. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the Audit and Compliance Committee members qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Also, each member of the Audit and Compliance Committee is independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in the applicable NYSE listing standards. The Audit and Compliance Committee held six meetings during fiscal year 2012.

              Compensation Committee—The Compensation Committee is governed by a written charter adopted in September 2009, which became effective as of the time our common stock was first listed on the NYSE. The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating and approving Holdings' executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs, as well as all equity-based compensation plans and policies. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for preparing the Compensation Discussion and Analysis report for inclusion in our annual proxy statement filed with the SEC. The Compensation Committee charter is annually reviewed and ratified by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

              The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Cressey and Swergold, both of whom the Board of Directors has determined in its business judgment are independent as defined in the applicable NYSE listing standards. The Compensation Committee held five meetings during fiscal year 2012.

              Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee—The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is governed by a written charter adopted in September 2009, which became effective as of the time our common stock was first listed on the NYSE. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is appointed to (i) identify individuals qualified to serve on the Board of Directors and board committees; (ii) recommend to the Board of Directors nominees for election to the Board of Directors at annual meetings of stockholders; (iii) recommend to the Board of Directors nominees to serve on each of the board committees; (iv) lead the Board of Directors in its annual review of the performance of the Board of Directors and management; (v) monitor Holdings' corporate governance structure; and (vi) develop and recommend to the Board of Directors any proposed changes to Holdings' corporate governance guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals, including those recommended by stockholders, believed to be qualified as candidates for Board of Directors membership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the authority to retain search firms to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors. In addition to any other qualifications the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may in its discretion deem appropriate, all director candidates, at a minimum, should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to representing the best interests of the stockholders. In identifying candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also take into account other factors it considers appropriate, which include ensuring a majority of directors satisfy the independence requirements of the NYSE, the SEC or other appropriate governing body and that the Board of Directors as a whole is comprised of directors who have the appropriate experience, expertise and perspective that will enhance the quality of the Board of Directors' deliberations and decisions. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, the Nominating and


      Table of Contents

      Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors believe it is essential that the Board of Directors is able to draw on a wide variety of backgrounds and professional experiences among its members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee desires to maintain the Board of Directors' diversity through the consideration of factors such as education, skills and relevant professional experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to nominate representational directors, but instead considers the entirety of each candidate's credentials in the context of these standards and the characteristics of the Board of Directors in its entirety. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct appropriate inquiries with respect to the backgrounds and qualifications of all director candidates. Once the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has completed its review of a candidate's qualifications and conducted the appropriate inquiries, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a determination whether to recommend the candidate for approval by the Board of Directors. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides to recommend the director candidate for nomination by the Board of Directors and such recommendation is accepted by the Board of Directors, the form of proxy solicited by the Company will include the name of the director candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter is annually reviewed and ratified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors.

              The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers stockholder nominees for directors in the same manner as nominees for director from other sources. Stockholder suggestions for nominees for director should be submitted to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary no later than the date by which stockholder proposals for action must be submitted and should include the following information: (i) the name and address of the stockholder making the recommendations, (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record, which should include the number of shares presently held and how long the shares have been held, (iii) a description of any and all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder making the recommendation and the director candidate, and (iv) all information regarding the director candidate that is required to be included in a proxy solicitation for the election of directors.

              The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Dalton and Swergold, both of whom the Board of Directors has determined in its business judgment are independent as defined in the applicable NYSE listing standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings during fiscal year 2012.

              Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee—The Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee is governed by a written charter adopted in May 2012.

The Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee maintains communication between the Board of Directors and the senior officers with management responsibility for medical care and reviews matters concerning or relating to the quality of medical care delivered to patients, efforts to advance the quality of medical care provided and patient safety. The Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee charter is annually reviewed and ratified by the Quality of Care and Patient Safety Committee and the Board of Directors.

      EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONCAPITALIZATION

      General

              Set forth below is a discussion of the executive compensation of Holdings, our sole stockholder.

      Compensation Consultant

              The Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee did not engage a compensation consultant during the 2012 fiscal year. In fiscal year 2011, the Compensation Committee engaged McDaniel & Associates, Inc. to provide an analysis of Holdings' executive officer and non-employee director compensation programs, as well as an analysis of its equity compensation programs. This engagement is described in detail below in the section titled "Committee Process; Compensation Consultant" in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this prospectus.

      Role of Executive Officers

              At the request of the Compensation Committee, Holdings' Chief Executive Officer participates in Compensation Committee meetings and recommends levels of compensation for the other "named executive officers" or "NEOs". However, the Compensation Committee makes the final determination regarding the compensation of the NEOs. No other executive officer participates in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive compensation.

      Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

              No current member of the Compensation Committee is or has been at any time one of our or Holdings' officers or employees. None of our or Holdings' executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Holdings' Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. Bryan C. Cressey and Leopold Swergold serve on Holdings' Compensation Committee.

      Compensation Discussion and Analysis

      General

              Since our executive officers are identical to those of Holdings, set forth below is the compensation discussion and analysis of Holdings.

      Objectives of the Company's Executive Compensation Policy

              Introduction.    This Compensation Discussion and Analysis, or "CD&A", provides an overview of Holdings' executive compensation program, together with a description of the material factors underlying the decisions which resulted in the compensation provided for 2012 to Holdings' Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, President and Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as presented in the tables which follow this CD&A. This CD&A contains statements regarding certain performance targets and goals Holdings has used or may use to determine appropriate compensation. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of Holdings' compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of management's expectations or estimates of financial results or other guidance. Holdings specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.


      Table of Contents

              Compensation Philosophy.    Holdings' compensation philosophy for NEOs is designed with the primary goals of rewarding the contributions of NEOs to the Company's financial performance and providing overall compensation sufficient to attract and retain highly skilled NEOs who are properly motivated to contribute to Holdings' financial performance. Holdings generally seeks to achieve its goals with respect to the NEOs' compensation by implementing and maintaining incentive plans for such executive officers that tie a substantial portion of each NEO's overall compensation to pre-determined financial goals relating to Holdings' return on equity and earnings per share. The Compensation Committee also grants the NEOs restricted stock awards from time to time which, subject to limited exceptions, require the NEO's continued employment for a minimum of three years prior to vesting.

              Committee Process; Compensation Consultant.    The Compensation Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities. During 2012, the Compensation Committee met five times. The Compensation Committee's meeting agenda is normally established by Holdings' Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the chairman and members of the Compensation Committee. Members of the Compensation Committee receive the agenda and related materials in advance of each meeting. Depending on the meeting's agenda, such materials may include financial reports regarding Holdings' performance, reports on achievement of individual and company objectives and information regarding Holdings' compensation programs.

              The Compensation Committee periodically reviews overall compensation levels to ensure that performance-based compensation represents a sufficient portion of total compensation to promote and reward executive officers' contributions to Holdings' performance. Both members of the Compensation Committee have extensive experience in the healthcare industry, including a focus on structuring appropriate executive compensation for healthcare companies. In setting the compensation for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee members draw on their collective experience in the healthcare industry and knowledge of investors' goals and do not engage in benchmarking.

              The Compensation Committee did not engage a compensation consultant during the 2012 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee did engage a compensation consultant, McDaniel & Associates, Inc., or "McDaniel", during fiscal year 2011 to provide information about executive officer and non-employee director compensation for comparable companies within Holdings' industry. In preparing this information, McDaniel reviewed compensation information from the Towers/Watson Healthcare Management Compensation Survey (for those organizations in the healthcare sector with annual revenue ranging between $1 billion and $5 billion—median annual revenue for the surveyed companies was $2.8 billion) and the Integrated Healthcare Strategies Executive Compensation Report (for healthcare companies with revenues ranging between $1 billion and $3 billion—median revenues for the surveyed companies was $1.9 billion). McDaniel also reviewed publicly available compensation information from 17 companies in the healthcare facilities and services business with revenues ranging between $900 million and $5 billion (median revenue was $1.9 billion) and market capitalization ranging between $615 million and $3.6 billion (median market capitalization was $1.8 billion). These 17 companies include:

      Amedisys, Inc.Emeritus Corp.Mednax, Inc.

      Brookdale Senior Living, Inc.


      Gentiva Health Services, Inc.


      Rehabcare Group

      Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc.


      Health Management Associates, Inc.


      Res-Care, Inc.

      Chemed Corp.


      Healthsouth Corp.


      Sunrise Senior Living, Inc.

      Community Health Systems, Inc.


      Lifepoint Hospitals, Inc.


      Team Health Holdings, Inc.

      Emergency Medical Services Corp.


      Lincare Holdings, Inc.



      Table of Contents

              The information prepared by McDaniel revealed that Holdings' executive officers (including executives who are not NEOs) received base salary and target bonus opportunities in the aggregate at or near the median of the companies reviewed. In addition, Holdings' executive officers were eligible for maximum bonus opportunities in the aggregate that were above the median of the companies reviewed and received equity compensation in the aggregate below the median of the companies reviewed.

              At its December 15, 2011 meeting, the Compensation Committee considered the information prepared by McDaniel in making the following changes to NEO compensation for fiscal year 2012:

        Base Salary: Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio's base salary was increased to $950,000; Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio's base salary was increased to $995,000; Ms. Rice's base salary was increased to $900,000; Mr. Chernow's base salary was increased to $740,000; and Mr. Jackson's base salary was increased to $600,000.

        Annual Bonus Opportunity: Messrs. Chernow's and Jackson's target and maximum bonus opportunities for the 2012 fiscal year were increased to 80% of base salary and 200% of base salary, respectively; and Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio's target and maximum bonus opportunities for the 2012 fiscal year were increased to 100% of base salary and 250% of base salary, respectively.

              The Compensation Committee believes that these base salary increases were appropriate because Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice had not received any base salary increases since April 1, 2009, Mr. Jackson had not received a base salary increase since August 28, 2010 and Mr. Chernow's base salary was still set at his initial hire rate. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to bring the bonus opportunities for Messrs. Chernow and Jackson in line with the bonus opportunities for the other NEOs (other than Holdings' chief executive officer), as well as to accurately reflect their roles and level of responsibility in the Company. The Compensation Committee decided to increase the bonus opportunities for Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio to better reflect his role as Holdings' chief executive officer and the level of his responsibilities compared to the other NEOs. The Compensation Committee believes that, after considering the compensation information prepared by McDaniel, the base salary and bonus opportunity increases for the NEOs make their total compensation package competitive within our industry.

              The Compensation Committee did not engage in any benchmarking or otherwise attempt to set compensation levels within a specific range of any of the companies identified by McDaniel. Instead, the base salary and bonus opportunity adjustments were determined by the Compensation Committee using its collective experience in the healthcare industry.

              Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions.    At the request of the Compensation Committee, Holdings' Chief Executive Officer participates in Compensation Committee meetings and recommends levels of compensation for the other NEOs. However, the Compensation Committee makes the final determination regarding the compensation of the NEOs.

        Risk Assessment.

              The Compensation Committee meets periodically each fiscal year to review Holdings' executive compensation policies and programs to ensure that they are appropriate. The Compensation Committee also determines each year whether incentive compensation will be awarded to our and Holdings' non-executive employees. After considering the various forms of compensation paid to our and Holdings' employees, the Compensation Committee has concluded that our and Holdings' compensation policies and programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us or Holdings. This conclusion is based on the following factors:

        A majority of our employees do not receive any performance-based compensation;

        Table of Contents

          A significant portion of the compensation paid to our and Holdings' employees who are eligible to receive performance-based compensation consists of base salary, which is not dependent upon our or Holdings' performance;

          Holdings' bonus program for executive officers includes safeguards that reduce the incentive to engage in risky behavior. For example, Holdings' Executive Bonus Plan limits the amount of bonus compensation that participants may receive (regardless of how well the Company performs) and provides the Compensation Committee with the discretion to reduce the bonus awards otherwise payable to participants thereunder; and

          Holdings' executive officers currently own, and historically have owned, a significant percentage of its outstanding common stock. Such ownership interest reduces the incentive for Holdings' executive officers to engage in actions designed to achieve only short-term results.

        Elements of Compensation

                Executive compensation for any fiscal year generally consists of a combination of the following elements, each of which is discussed in further detail in the sections that follow:

          Base Salary;

          Annual Performance-Based Bonuses;

          Equity Compensation;

          Perquisites and Personal Benefits; and

          General Benefits.

                In addition to the compensation components listed above, each of the NEOs is party to either an employment agreement or a change in control agreement with us that provides for post-employment severance payments and benefits in the event of employment termination under certain circumstances.

                In determining the different elements of compensation to provide to the NEOs in any given year, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to a specific allocation between short-term and long-term compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee determines the elements of NEO compensation for any given year in a manner designed to further its goals of rewarding strong financial performance, providing overall compensation opportunities that are sufficient to attract and retain highly skilled NEOs and ensuring that the NEOs' interests are aligned with those of Holdings' stockholders. This may result in the NEOs receiving all cash compensation in some years (through base salary and annual performance-based bonuses) and a combination of cash and equity compensation in other years (through base salary, annual performance-based bonuses and long-term equity awards).

        Base Salary

                Base salaries are provided to the NEOs to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Consistent with Holdings' philosophy of placing increasing emphasis on performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee sets the base salaries for the NEOs at levels which it believes are competitive for the healthcare industry when combined with Holdings' incentive programs. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews base salaries for the NEOs. As described above in the section titled "Committee Process; Compensation Consultant," in December 2011, the Compensation Committee approved increases to the annual base salary for each NEO effective January 1, 2012.

        2012 Named Executive Officer Annual Performance-Based Bonuses

                Annual cash bonuses are included as part of the executive compensation program because the Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of each NEO's compensation should be


        Table of Contents

        contingent on Holdings' financial performance. Accordingly, Holdings has historically maintained a bonus plan under which NEOs are eligible to receive annual cash bonuses based upon the achievement of specific performance measures.

                For the 2012 fiscal year, each of the NEOs participated in Holdings' Executive Bonus Plan, or the "Executive Bonus Plan". The Executive Bonus Plan was implemented to provide the Compensation Committee with the discretion to grant bonus compensation to the NEOs that can qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the "Code". Compensation that qualifies as "performance-based compensation" is not subject to the $1 million cap on deductibility imposed by Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee also retains discretion to grant bonus compensation to the NEOs and other employees outside of the Executive Bonus Plan.

                Under the terms of the Executive Bonus Plan, eligible employees, including the NEOs, may earn bonus compensation based on the achievement of pre-determined performance goals, such as earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, sales, stock price and operating income. In connection with establishing the performance goals for each performance period, the Compensation Committee will determine the amount of bonus compensation that may be paid to participants upon the achievement of the relevant performance goals. The amount of any compensation paid under the terms of the Executive Bonus Plan is limited to $2.5 million. In addition, the Compensation Committee may decrease each participant's bonus award under the Executive Bonus Plan in its sole discretion. In the event that a participant earns a bonus under the Executive Bonus Plan, such bonus will be paid either in cash or in shares of restricted stock under Holdings' equity compensation plans.

                Consistent with prior years, NEO bonuses for the 2012 fiscal year were based on Holdings' achievement of specified levels of earnings per share and return on equity. The Compensation Committee selected earnings per share and return on equity as the performance measures for 2012 bonuses because the Compensation Committee believes that each of these metrics is directly related to the creation of stockholder value. For 2012, the Compensation Committee established target and maximum earnings per share levels of $0.899 and $0.989, respectively, and established target and maximum return on equity levels of 13.7% and 14.39%, respectively.

                The Compensation Committee approved the following performance matrix to calculate NEO bonuses for the 2012 fiscal year:

         
         Return on Equity 

        Earnings Per Share

          13.43% 13.56% 13.7% 13.84% 13.97% 14.11% 14.25% 14.39%

                Pursuant to this performance matrix, if both threshold earnings per share ($0.872) and threshold return on equity (13.43%) were not achieved, then no NEO would receive a bonus for the 2012 fiscal year. If, however, the threshold level of performance was achieved for both earnings per share and return on equity, then the NEOs would receive a bonus equal to the percentage of their target bonus that corresponds with Holdings' actual earnings per share and return on equity, as set forth on the performance matrix. For example, if earnings per share was $0.908 and return on equity was 13.84%, then each NEO would receive a bonus equal to 120% of his or her target bonus.

                As described above in the section titled "Committee Process; Compensation Consultant," after reviewing the compensation information prepared by McDaniel and examining Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio's overall compensation opportunities, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to increase his target and maximum bonus opportunities to better reflect his role as Holdings' chief executive officer and the level of his responsibilities.

                For 2012, the target and maximum bonus opportunities for each of the NEOs is set forth in the table below (expressed as a percentage of the NEOs' rate of base salary in effect on January 1, 2012).

                In determining the level of Holdings' performance for purposes of awarding 2012 bonuses to the NEOs, the Compensation Committee, as required by the terms of the Executive Bonus Plan, calculated Holdings' return on equity and earnings per share. Accordingly, for 2012, Holdings achieved earnings per share of $1.05 and its return on equity was 20.58%. Based on such performance, Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio, Ms. Rice and Messrs. Chernow and Jackson received bonuses of $1,900,000, $2,487,500, $1,800,000, $1,480,000 and $1,200,000, respectively, as set forth in the "non-equity incentive plan compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table.

                At the 2013 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Executive Bonus Plan, renamed the "Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan". The Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan is very similar to the Executive Bonus Plan, but the maximum award payable thereunder has been increased to $4,000,000 (without any separate limit based on a percentage of the participant's base salary). Each of the NEOs is eligible to participate in the Amended and Executive Restated Bonus Plan for 2013.

        Equity Compensation

                2012 Annual Awards.    At the 2011 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the "2011 Equity Plan", which Holdings currently maintains. The 2011 Equity Plan was established to provide certain employees of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including the NEOs) with incentives to help align those employees' interests with the interests of Holdings' stockholders. Awards under the 2011 Equity Plan may be in the form of restricted stock, non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options.

                Holdings previously maintained the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Inventive Plan, as amended, or the "2005 Equity Plan". Other than the initial hire grant of restricted stock awarded to Mr. Chernow (as described below), all awards granted under the 2005 Equity Plan to the NEOs became fully vested on or before February 24, 2010. In addition, as described below on the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table, as of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Chernow holds certain unvested stock option awards granted under the Select Medical Holdings Corporation


        Table of Contents

        2005 Equity Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the "2005 Director Plan", in respect of his service as a member of the Board of Directors. Following the approval of the 2011 Equity Plan, Holdings terminated the 2005 Equity Plan with respect to the grant of new awards.

                On October 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee awarded four of the NEOs restricted shares of common stock under the 2011 Equity Plan. The number of restricted shares awarded to such NEOs is set forth in the table below. Such shares will vest in full on October 30, 2015, subject to the NEO's continued employment on such date. Pro-rata vesting is provided in the event that a NEO's employment is terminated prior to October 30, 2015 due to death, disability or following a change in control.

        Patricia A. Rice

        45,000

        Martin F. Jackson

        35,000

                In making such restricted stock grants, the Compensation Committee considered that the annual long-term equity award opportunities for Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Jackson and Ms. Rice were well below the annual long-term equity award opportunities for their counterparts at comparable companies. Based on the foregoing, the Compensation Committee concluded that restricted stock awards for such NEOs were necessary to ensure that they are adequately incentivized and that their long-term interests are properly aligned with those of Holdings' stockholders. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Chernow's 2010 restricted stock grant made at the time of his initial hire provided a sufficient level of incentive and adequately aligned his long-term interests with those of Holdings' stockholders. Accordingly, Mr. Chernow did not receive a 2012 restricted stock grant.

                2012 Dividend.    On December 12, 2012, Holdings paid a dividend of $1.50 on each outstanding share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Equity Plan, such dividend was paid to each holder of unvested shares of restricted stock with respect to such shares. In addition, the 2011 Equity Plan was interpreted by the Compensation Committee to treat the payment of dividends on unvested shares of restricted stock in the same manner as under the 2005 Equity Plan. Accordingly, the NEOs received the following cash dividends on their unvested shares of restricted stock (in addition to any dividends received on other shares of common stock):

        Dividends Paid on
        Unvested Shares of

        1,500,000

        Martin F. Jackson

        105,000

                In accordance with the terms of the 2005 Equity Plan and the 2011 Equity Plan, the cash dividends so received are not subject to any vesting or forfeiture requirements.

        Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

                Holdings provides NEOs with perquisites and other personal benefits that it and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better


        Table of Contents

        enable Holdings to attract and retain highly skilled NEOs. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to NEOs.

                Use of Company Aircraft.    The primary perquisite and personal benefit the NEOs are currently provided is the personal use of Holdings' aircraft at its expense. In recognition of their contributions to the Company, Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice are entitled to use Holdings' aircraft for personal reasons and may be accompanied by friends and family members. Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice must recognize taxable compensation for the value of the personal use of Holdings' aircraft by themselves and their friends and family members. Mr. Chernow and Mr. Jackson may use Holdings' aircraft in connection with a personal emergency or bereavement matter with the prior approval of Holdings' Executive Chairman or Chief Executive Officer.

                Physical Examination.    The Company offers full reimbursement for the costs associated with an annual comprehensive physical exam for the NEOs, including travel and accommodations, so that a NEO who makes use of Holdings' physical exam benefit can be evaluated and receive diagnostic and preventive medical care.

                Taxes.    As described below under the heading "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control," each NEO is entitled to a tax gross up payment in the event that any change in control payments which they are entitled to receive constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. Holdings believes that this benefit is appropriate to ensure that, in the event of a change in control, the NEOs are focused on maximizing stockholder value.

                Attributed costs of the perquisites and personal benefits described above for the NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, are included in the "Summary Compensation Table," below.

        General Benefits

                The NEOs are also eligible to participate in our group health and dental plans, including short term and long term disability, life insurance (at an amount equal to 100% of base salary), and our 401(k) plan on the same terms and conditions as those plans are available to our and Holdings' employees generally.

        Employment Agreements

                It is our general philosophy that all of our employees should be "at will" employees, thereby allowing both us and the employee to terminate the employment relationship at any time and without restriction or financial obligation. However, in certain cases, we and Holdings have determined that, as a retention device and a means to obtain non-compete arrangements, employment agreements and change in control agreements are appropriate.

                Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice each entered into an employment agreement with us on March 1, 2000. Each of these employment agreements provides for a three-year term which is automatically extended for an additional year on each anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement, thereby causing the agreements to have a three-year term as of each anniversary of the effective date. Either we or the executive may elect to not extend the term of the employment agreement by providing advance written notice of non-renewal to the other party. These employment agreements also prohibit the executives from (i) participating in any business that competes with us or any of its affiliates within a 25 mile radius of any of our or its affiliates' hospitals or outpatient rehabilitation clinics during employment and for two years thereafter, and (ii) soliciting any of our employees for one year after the termination of his or her employment.


        Table of Contents

                Mr. Chernow entered into an employment agreement with us on September 13, 2010. Mr. Chernow's employment agreement provides for a three-year term which is automatically extended for successive one-year periods beginning on the third anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement. Either we or Mr. Chernow may elect to not extend the term of the employment agreement by providing advance written notice of non-renewal to the other party. Mr. Chernow's employment agreement also prohibits him from, during employment and for the two-year period thereafter, (i) participating in any business that competes with us or any of its affiliates within a 50 mile radius of any of our or our affiliates' facilities or the facilities of any customer in which or to whom Mr. Chernow provided services during the twelve-month period prior to his termination, and (ii) soliciting any of our or our affiliates' employees, clients or customers.

                The employment agreements for Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Chernow and Ms. Rice also provide for certain severance benefits in the event of a termination of employment, as described below under the section titled "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control."

                Mr. Jackson is an employee-at-will, and accordingly, elements of his annual compensation are subject to review and adjustment by the Compensation Committee. However, Mr. Jackson is a party to a change in control agreement with us that provides for severance upon his termination of employment in connection with a change in control, as described below in the section titled "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control."

                The terms of each of these agreements, including the severance benefits that may be payable under these agreements, are described below more fully in the section titled "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control."

        Rocco A. Ortenzio

                We and Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio, our co-founder, are parties to an employment agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio's annual base salary was initially set at $800,000, subject to adjustment by the Company. Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio's annual base salary was subsequently adjusted upward by the Company on multiple occasions and was last adjusted to $950,000 effective January 1, 2012. Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio is also eligible for bonus compensation under his employment agreement. However, the Executive Bonus Plan, described in the CD&A section above, is the primary mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio.

        Robert A. Ortenzio

                We and Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio, our co-founder, are parties to an employment agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio's annual base salary was initially set at $800,000, subject to adjustment by the Company. Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio's annual base salary was subsequently adjusted upward by the Company on multiple occasions and was last adjusted to $995,000 effective January 1, 2012. Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio is also eligible for bonus compensation under his employment agreement. However, the Executive Bonus Plan, described in the CD&A section above, is the primary mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio.

        Patricia A. Rice

                We and Ms. Rice are parties to an employment agreement, effective as of March 1, 2000, as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Rice served as our President and Chief Operating Officer until December 31, 2011, at which time she relinquished her title as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Ms. Rice served as Holdings' President through


        Table of Contents

        June 30, 2013. Effective July 1, 2013, Ms. Rice agreed to serve as the Executive Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Rice was initially entitled to an annual base salary of $500,000 under the terms of her employment agreement, subject to adjustment by the Company. Ms. Rice's annual base salary was subsequently adjusted upward by the Company on multiple occasions and was last adjusted upward to $900,000 effective January 1, 2012. To reflect Ms. Rice's new position, her annual base salary was decreased to $500,000 effective July 1, 2013. Ms. Rice is also eligible for bonus compensation under her employment agreement. However, the Executive Bonus Plan, described in the CD&A section above, is the primary mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Ms. Rice. Pursuant to an amendment to her employment agreement, Ms. Rice may use her office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and/or her home offices in Nicholasville or Lexington, Kentucky and St. Petersburg, Florida in carrying out her duties to the Company.

        David S. Chernow

                We and Mr. Chernow entered into an employment agreement on September 13, 2010 in connection with his acceptance of our offer of employment. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Chernow's annual base salary was initially set at $640,000, subject to adjustment by the Company. Mr. Chernow's base salary was last adjusted by the Company to $740,000 effective January 1, 2012. Mr. Chernow is also eligible to receive bonus compensation, annual or otherwise, in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. However, the Executive Bonus Plan, described in the CD&A section above, is the primary mechanism for determining bonus compensation from the Company for Mr. Chernow.

        Tax and Accounting Considerations

                Holdings considers tax and accounting implications in determining all elements of its compensation programs. Section 162(m) generally denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation (other than qualified performance-based compensation) exceeding $1,000,000 paid in a taxable year to the chief executive officer or any one of the next three most highly compensated officers (other than the chief financial officer) reported in the"Summary Compensation Table" below. The Compensation Committee considers the impact of this deductibility limit on the compensation that it intends to award, and attempts to structure compensation such that it is deductible if it determines that doing so is appropriate and consistent with Holdings' executive compensation program. However, while the Compensation Committee is cognizant of the applicable requirements for qualified performance-based compensation, it may exercise its discretion to award compensation that does not meet such requirements when it considers it appropriate to do so.

                When establishing executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the effect of various forms of compensation on Holdings' financial results. In particular, the Compensation Committee considers the potential impact, on current and future financial results, of all equity compensation that it approves.

        Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

                Each of the NEOs may be entitled to certain payments upon termination of employment or a change in control, as described below.

        Termination of Employment Not in Connection with a Change in Control

                Pursuant to the employment agreements between us and Messrs. Robert A. Ortenzio and Rocco A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice, upon a termination of employment by us without cause (other than due to death or disability) or by the executive officer for good reason, and except with respect to certain terminations in connection with a change in control (as described below), each such NEO is entitled to receive (i) immediate vesting of any unvested stock options outstanding prior to such termination of employment, (ii) a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination (based on actual performance if performance goals have been established for such year) and (iii) an amount equal to the base salary he or she would have received over the remainder of the employment term had no such termination occurred, with such amount to be paid in installments for the remainder of the term of the executive's employment agreement, beginning on the six-month anniversary of such termination of employment. As a condition to receiving such payments, each such executive must execute a release of claims.

                Pursuant to the employment agreement between us and Mr. Chernow, upon his termination by us without cause (other than by reason of death or disability or in connection with a change in control), Mr. Chernow is entitled to receive twelve months of continued base salary, with such payments to begin on our first payroll date of the seventh month following the date of such termination (provided that such first payment will include an amount equal to Mr. Chernow's base salary for the period from the date of such termination to the first regular payroll date of the seventh month following such termination). As a condition to receiving such payments, Mr. Chernow must execute a release of claims.

                The employment agreements, other than the employment agreement between us and Mr. Chernow, also entitle the executive officers to receive salary continuation through insurance in the event of a termination of employment by reason of disability. Such salary continuation is at the rate of 100% of base salary for Mr. Rocco A. Ortenzio and 50% of base salary for each of Mr. Robert A. Ortenzio and Ms. Rice. In addition, such salary continuation is payable for a period of up to ten years, subject to earlier termination if the executive becomes physically able to resume employment in an occupation consistent with his or her education, training and experience.

                Pursuant to the restricted stock agreement entered into with Mr. Chernow on September 13, 2010, in the event that Mr. Chernow's employment terminates due to death or disability, a pro-rata portion of the next tranche of such restricted stock that is scheduled to vest will become vested and the remaining restricted stock will be forfeited. Pursuant to the restricted stock awards granted to


        Table of Contents

        Messrs. Rocco Ortenzio, Robert Ortenzio and Jackson and Ms. Rice on each of October 30, 2012 and December 15, 2011, a pro-rata portion of the awards will vest in the event of a termination of employment prior to the vesting date of the award as a result of death or disability. All other unvested restricted stock held by the NEOs will be forfeited upon their termination of employment with the Company for any reason (except as otherwise provided below in the Section titled "Change in Control").

                For purposes of the employment agreements, "cause" is generally defined as (i) the willful and continued failure of the executive to substantially perform his or her duties, (ii) the engaging by the executive in willful or reckless misconduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to us, or (iii) the conviction of the executive of a felony involving moral turpitude. In addition, "good reason" is generally defined as (i) the assignment to the executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with his or her position, authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by us which results in a material diminution or material adverse change in such position, status, authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) any failure by us to comply with our duties to provide the executive with compensation and benefits, (iii) a requirement that the executive be based at any office or location other than Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania or within 25 miles of such location or (iv) any failure by us to cause our successor to assume its obligations under the employment agreement.

                Set forth in the table below are the amounts that would be payable to each of the NEOs upon termination of employment without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability, and not in connection with a change in control, assuming that such termination occurred on December 31, 2012.

        Because the amounts set forth in the table above assume a termination of employment on December 31, 2012, the amounts reported in this column reflect each such NEO's full bonus for the 2012 fiscal year.

        (2)
        The amount reported in this column represents the applicable amount of salary continuation payable over the ten-year period following the date of termination of employment for disability, subject to termination if the NEO becomes physically able to resume employment.

        (3)
        With respect to Mr. Chernow, represents the value of 191,606 shares of restricted stock vesting on December 31, 2012, based on the closing price of the common stock on December 31, 2012 ($9.43). The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date for Mr. Chernow is determined by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock scheduled to vest at the next vesting date (250,000), by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the date of grant through December 31, 2012 (840) to (y) the number of days in such vesting period (1,096). With respect to Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Jackson and Ms. Rice, represents the value of 20,258, 40,516, 14,181 and 18,232 shares of restricted stock, respectively, vesting on December 31, 2012, based on the closing price of the common stock on December 31, 2012 ($9.43). The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date is determined, with respect to the 2012 stock awards, by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock granted to each such NEO by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the grant date through December 31, 2012 (62) and (y) the total number of days in the vesting period (1,095). The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date is determined, with respect to the 2011 stock awards, by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock granted to each such NEO by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the grant date through December 31, 2012 (382) and (y) the total number of days in the vesting period (1,096).

        Change in Control

                Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio's and Robert A. Ortenzio's and Ms. Rice's employment agreements provide for change in control severance benefits if (i) within the one-year period immediately following a change in control, such executive's employment is terminated by us without cause or such executive terminates his or her employment for any reason, or (ii) within the six-month period immediately preceding a change in control, such executive's employment is terminated without cause and the terminated executive reasonably demonstrates that his or her termination was at the request of a third party who took steps to effect the change in control. In the event of such a termination of employment, such executives are entitled to receive (i) a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination (based on actual performance if performance goals have been established for such year), (ii) an amount equal to his or her base salary and bonus for the previous three completed calendar years, with such amount to be paid in installments for the remainder of the term of such executive's employment agreement (provided that the first payment shall be made on the first regular payroll date of the seventh month following such termination and shall include the installments that would have otherwise been made during such period), and (iii) immediate vesting of all unvested stock options that were outstanding prior to such termination (with such vesting to occur immediately prior to such change in control).

                Mr. Chernow's employment agreement provides for change in control severance benefits if (i) within the one-year period immediately following a change in control, (1) Mr. Chernow's employment is terminated by us without cause and other than for death or disability, (2) Mr. Chernow terminates his employment with us for good reason, (3) we reduce Mr. Chernow's compensation from that in effect immediately prior to the change in control, or (4) we require Mr. Chernow to relocate his principal place of employment to a location anywhere other than our principal executive offices in (or within 25 miles of) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, or (ii) within the six-month period immediately preceding a change in control, Mr. Chernow's employment is terminated by us other than for cause, death or disability and he reasonably demonstrates that his termination was at the request of a third party who took steps to effect the change in control. In the event of a termination of employment described in clause (i), Mr. Chernow is entitled to receive (1) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years (or equal to three times his average total annual cash compensation for base salary and bonus for his years of service to us if less than three years) and (2) immediate vesting of all unvested stock options that were outstanding prior to such termination. In the event of a termination described in clause (ii), Mr. Chernow is entitled to receive an amount equal to his base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years (or equal to three times his average total annual cash compensation for base salary and bonus for his years of service to us if less than three years), with such amount to be paid in equal installments on each of our regular payroll dates over the twelve (12) month period following such termination; provided that the commencement of such payments shall be delayed until the first payroll date of the seventh month following such termination; provided further that the first payment made shall include the payments that otherwise would be made had the delay described in the preceding clause not been imposed. In addition, all of the restricted stock granted to Mr. Chernow on September 13, 2010, and all of the options granted to Mr. Chernow under the 2005 Directors Plan, will become fully vested (and exercisable, if applicable) upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined above in the section titled "Equity Compensation").

                We have entered into a change in control agreement with Mr. Jackson. This agreement provides that if (i) within a five-year period immediately following a change in control, we terminate Mr. Jackson without cause, Mr. Jackson terminates his employment because we reduced his compensation from that in effect prior to the change in control or we relocate Mr. Jackson's principal place of employment to a location more than 25 miles from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, (ii) within the six-month period immediately following the change in control, Mr. Jackson terminates his employment for good reason or (iii) within the six-month period immediately preceding the change in


        Table of Contents

        control, we terminate Mr. Jackson's employment without cause and he reasonably demonstrates that his termination by us was at the request of a third party who took steps to effect the change in control, we are obligated to pay Mr. Jackson, on the first day of the seventh month following such termination, a lump-sum cash payment equal to his base salary plus bonus for the previous three completed calendar years. In addition, in the event of such a termination, all of Mr. Jackson's stock options will become fully vested upon the later of such termination or change in control.

                Each of the restricted stock awards granted to Messrs. Rocco A. Ortenzio, Robert A. Ortenzio and Jackson and Ms. Rice on October 30, 2012 and December 15, 2011 provide that a pro-rata portion of the restricted stock will vest in the event that any such NEO's employment is terminated following a change in control (as defined in the 2011 Equity Plan).

                In addition to the benefits described above, each NEO is entitled to receive a tax gross-up payment in the event that any change in control payments which he or she is entitled to receive constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. The tax gross-up payment will equal the amount necessary to place the NEO in the same position as if no penalty under Section 4999 of the Code had been imposed on any of the change in control payments, including on the tax gross-up payment.

                For purposes of the agreements with Messrs. Rocco Ortenzio, Robert Ortenzio and Jackson and Ms. Rice, as described above, a "change in control" is generally defined to include: (i) the acquisition by a person or group, other than certain controlling stockholders, of more than 50% of the voting shares of us or Holdings; (ii) during any twelve-month period, the acquisition of at least 33% of the voting shares of us or Holdings; (iii) during any twelve-month period, there is a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of us or Holdings; (iv) a business combination of us or Holdings in which the stockholders of the corporation involved in the business combination cease to own shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation; or (v) during any twelve-month period, a sale of all or substantially all the assets of us or Holdings, other than to an entity controlled by the stockholders of the selling corporation prior to the sale.

                For purposes of Mr. Chernow's employment agreement, a "change in control" is generally defined to include: (i) the acquisition by a person or group, other than certain controlling stockholders, of more than 50% of the voting shares of us or Holdings; (ii) during any twelve-month period, there is a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of Holdings; (iii) a business combination of us or Holdings in which the stockholders of the corporation involved in the business combination cease to own shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation; or (iv) during any twelve-month period, a sale of all or substantially all the assets of us or Holdings, other than to an entity controlled by the stockholders of the selling corporation prior to the sale.

                For purposes of Mr. Jackson's change in control agreement, "cause" has the same meaning as set forth in the employment agreements for Messrs. Rocco Ortenzio, Robert Ortenzio and Chernow and Ms. Rice, as described above in this section. In addition, generally, Mr. Jackson will have "good reason" to terminate his employment if (i) he makes a good faith determination that, as a result of a change in control, he is unable to perform his services effectively or there is any significant adverse change in his authority or responsibilities, as performed immediately prior to such change in control or (ii) our obligations under the change in control agreement are not assumed by the acquiring entity or any of its affiliates.

                Set forth in the table below are the amounts that would be payable to each of the NEOs upon the occurrence of a termination of employment in connection with a change in control, as described above in this section. In addition, the table below sets forth the amounts that would be payable to each of the

The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date is determined, with respect to the 2012 stock awards, by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock granted to each such NEO by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the grant date through December 31, 2012 (62) and (y) the total number of days in the vesting period (1,095). The number of shares of restricted stock vesting on such date is determined, with respect to the 2011 stock awards, by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock granted to each such NEO by the ratio of (x) the number of days that elapsed from the grant date through December 31, 2012 (382) and (y) the total number of days in the vesting period (1,096).

Mr. Chernow's unvested stock options are not assigned any value on the table because the value of Holdings' stock on December 31, 2012 was less than the exercise price of each such option.

                Interest on the notes accrues from the daterespective dates of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

                Principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on the notes is payable, and the notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which initially is an office of an affiliate of the trustee in New York, New York); at the option of the Issuer, however, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the holders as such address appears in the register of holders, and in addition, if a holder of at least $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes has given wire transfer instructions to us prior to the record date for a payment, the Issuer will make such payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on such holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on, notes in global form registered in the name of or held by DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee is made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.

        Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

                The trustee acts as paying agent and registrar. The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

        Transfer and Exchange

                A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. No service charge is made for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

        Subsidiary Guarantees

                The notes are guaranteed by each of the Issuer's current Domestic Subsidiaries, other than those that are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, as long as they remain Restricted Subsidiaries. Future Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement will also become guarantors of the notes. The Subsidiary Guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk factors—Factors—Risks relatedRelated to the notes.New Notes." Federal and state statutes could allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the subsidiary guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and require note holders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

                  (1)   immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and


        Table of Contents

                  (2)   either:

                    (a)   the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the registration rights agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

                    (b)   such transaction does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture.

                The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor is released:

                  (1)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary), if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

                  (2)   in connection with any sale of Capital Stock of that Guarantor following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

                  (3)   if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

                  (4)   if that Guarantor is released from its guarantee under the Credit Agreement; or

                  (5)   upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions "—Legal defeasance and covenant defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and discharge."

                If any Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors is released from their Subsidiary Guarantees, if any.

                See "—Repurchase at the option of holders—Asset sales."

        Optional Redemption

                At any time prior to June 1, 2016, the Issuer may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or a contribution to the equity capital of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) from the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (in each case, other than Excluded Contributions);provided that:

                  (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture (including Additional Notes but excluding notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

                  (2)   the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering or equity contribution.

                Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph and the second succeeding paragraph, the notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer's option prior to June 1, 2016.


        Table of Contents

                On or after June 1, 2016, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of aggregate


        Table of Contents

        principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

        Year
         Percentage 

        2016

          104.781%

        2017

          103.188%

        2018

          101.594%

        2019 and thereafter

          100.000%

                Before June 1, 2016, the Issuer may also redeem all or any portion of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, the date of redemption (a "Make-Whole Redemption Date").

                "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to any note on any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such Make-Whole Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such note at June 1, 2016 (exclusive of accrued interest), plus (2) all scheduled interest payments due on such note from the Make-Whole Redemption Date through June 1, 2016, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus 50 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such note.

                "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to such Make-Whole Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016;provided, however, that if the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

                Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and Additional Interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

        THE EXCHANGE OFFER

        Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

                On May 28, 2013,March 11, 2014, we issued and sold the old notes to the initial purchasers without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exception set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the old notes to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. Because the old notes are subject to transfer restrictions, we entered into registration rights agreements under which we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to:

          prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

          cause the registration statement to become effective;

          complete the exchange offer within 270 days after date of issuance of the old notes (or if such 270th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day); and

          file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the old notes if we cannot effect an exchange offer within the time period listed above and in certain other circumstances.

                The registration statement is intended to satisfy our exchange offer obligations under the registration rights agreements.

                Under existing interpretations of the SEC, we believe that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the new notes represents that:

          it is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business;

          it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and is not participating in, and does not intend to participate in, the distribution of such new notes;

          it is not an affiliate of us, as that term is interpreted by the SEC; and

          it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes.

                However, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a "participating broker dealer") will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the new notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the old notes) with this prospectus. Under the registration rights agreement, we are required to allow participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, with similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of the new notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

                The form and terms of the new notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act; will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act; will not be entitled to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and will not contain provisions relating to increased interest rates in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

                The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes. The new notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that authorized the issuance of the old notes. For a description of the indenture, see "Description of the Notes."


        Table of Contents

                If we and the guarantors fail to meet certain specified deadlines under the registration rights agreement, we will be obligated to pay an increased interest rate on the old notes.

                A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed with as Exhibit 4.3 this prospectus and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        Terms of the Exchange Offer

                We are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $600.0$110.0 million of our new notes for a like amount of our old notes. The old notes must be tendered properly in accordance with the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal on or prior to the expiration date and not withdrawn as permitted below. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon holders tendering a minimum principal amount of old notes. As of the date of this prospectus, all of the old notes are outstanding.

                Old notes tendered in the exchange offer must be in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

                Holders of the old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer. If you do not tender your old notes or if you tender old notes that we do not accept, your old notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and you will be entitled to the rights and benefits holders have under the indenture relating to the old notes and the new notes. Existing transfer restrictions would continue to apply to such old notes. See "Risk Factors—If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and may become less liquid" for more information regarding old notes outstanding after the exchange offer.

                None of us or the guarantors, or our respective boards of directors or management, recommends that you tender or not tender old notes in the exchange offer or has authorized anyone to make any recommendation. You must decide whether to tender in the exchange offer and, if you decide to tender, the aggregate amount of old notes to tender.

                The expiration date is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                  , 2013,2014, or such later date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

                We have the right, in accordance with applicable law, at any time:

          to delay the acceptance of the old notes;

          to terminate the exchange offer and not accept any old notes for exchange if we determine that any of the conditions to the exchange offer have not occurred or have not been satisfied;

          to extend the expiration date of the exchange offer and retain all old notes tendered in the exchange offer other than those notes properly withdrawn; and

          to waive any condition or amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

                If we materially amend the exchange offer, we will as promptly as practicable distribute a prospectus supplement to the holders of the old notes disclosing the change and extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period.

                If we exercise any of the rights listed above, we will as promptly as practicable give oral or written notice of the action to the exchange agent and will make a public announcement of such action. In the case of an extension, an announcement will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time on


        Table of Contents

        the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any public announcement, other than by making a timely release to a financial news service.

                During an extension, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without cost to the holder that tendered them promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

                We will accept all old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn. Promptly after the expiration date, we will issue new notes registered under the Securities Act to the exchange agent.

                The exchange agent might not deliver the new notes to all tendering holders at the same time. The timing of delivery depends upon when the exchange agent receives and processes the required documents.

                We will be deemed to have exchanged old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn when we give oral or written notice to the exchange agent of our acceptance of the tendered old notes, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. The exchange agent is our agent for receiving tenders of old notes, letters of transmittal and related documents.

                In tendering old notes, you must warrant in the letter of transmittal or in an agent's message (described below) that:

          you have full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer old notes;

          we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered old notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and other encumbrances; and

          the old notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies.

                You also must warrant and agree that you will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents requested by us or the exchange agent to complete the exchange, sale, assignment and transfer of the old notes.

                Additionally, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

        Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

          Valid Tender

                We have forwarded to you, along with this prospectus, a letter of transmittal relating to this exchange offer. The letter of transmittal is to be completed by a holder of old notes either if (1) a tender of old notes is to be made by delivering physical certificates for such old notes to the exchange agent or (2) a tender of old notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account of the exchange agent at DTC.

                Only a holder of record of old notes may tender old notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must:

          complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal; have the signature on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if the letter of transmittal so requires; and

        Table of Contents

            deliver the letter of transmittal or facsimile to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date; or

          in lieu of delivering a letter of transmittal, instruct DTC to transmit on behalf of the holder a computer-generated message to the exchange agent in which the holder of the old notes acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of, and to make all of the representations contained in, the letter of transmittal, which computer-generated message shall be received by the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date or such other internal deadline set by DTC as the case may be.

                In addition, either:

          the exchange agent must receive old notes along with the letter of transmittal; or

          the exchange agent must receive, before expiration of the exchange offer, timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, or you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

                To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive the letter of transmittal and other required documents at the address set forth below under the caption "—Exchange Agent" before expiration of the exchange offer, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" below. To receive confirmation of valid tender of old notes, a holder should contact the exchange agent at the telephone number listed under the caption "—Exchange Agent."

                A tender by a holder that is accepted by us and not withdrawn before expiration of the exchange offer will constitute a binding agreement between that holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. Only a registered holder of old notes may tender the old notes in the exchange offer. If you tender fewer than all of your old notes, you should fill in the amount of notes tendered in the appropriate box on the letter of transmittal. The amount of old notes delivered to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

                The method of delivery of the certificates for the old notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and sole risk of the holders. If delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. No letters of transmittal or old notes should be sent directly to us. Delivery is complete when the exchange agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC in accordance with its procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

                If you beneficially own old notes and those notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the old notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

                If the applicable letter of transmittal is signed by the record holder(s) of the old notes tendered, the signature must correspond with the name(s) written on the face of the old note without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If the applicable letter of transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the old notes.


        Table of Contents

                If any letter of transmittal, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney, or any other document required by the letter of transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian,


        Table of Contents

        attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate such capacity when signing. In addition, unless waived by us, the person must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us, in our sole discretion, of his or her authority to so act.

                Holders should receive copies of the letter of transmittal with the prospectus. A holder may obtain additional copies of the letter of transmittal for the old notes from the exchange agent at its offices listed under the caption "—Exchange Agent."

          Signature Guarantees

                Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

          by a registered holder of old notes who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

          for the account of an eligible institution.

                An "eligible institution" is a firm or other entity which is identified as an "Eligible Guarantor Institution" in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including:

          a bank;

          a broker, dealer, municipal securities broker or dealer or government securities broker or dealer;

          a credit union;

          a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or

          a savings association.

                If old notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the letter of transmittal, the old notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder's signature guaranteed by an eligible institution.

          DTC Book-Entry Transfers

                For tenders by book-entry transfer of old notes cleared through DTC, the exchange agent will make a request to establish an account at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may use the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, procedures to tender old notes. Accordingly, any participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer those old notes into the exchange agent's account in accordance with its ATOP procedures for transfer.

                Notwithstanding the ability of holders of old notes to effect delivery of old notes through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of transmittal or a facsimile thereof, or an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents must be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date at the address given below under "—Exchange Agent." In this context, the term "agent's message" means


        Table of Contents

        a message, transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant tendering old notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation that the participant has received


        Table of Contents

        and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce that agreement against the participant.

          Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

                If a registered holder of the outstanding notes desires to tender outstanding notes and the outstanding notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit that holder's outstanding notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if:

          such tender is made through an eligible institution,

          prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, the exchange agent has received from such eligible institution a validly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) or an agent's message with respect to guaranteed delivery, setting forth the name and address of the holder of originalold notes and the amount of originalold notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange, which we refer to as NYSE in this letter, trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered originalold notes, in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile of this letter) or a book-entry confirmation for originalold notes held in book-entry form together with an agent's message instead of this letter, as the case may be, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this letter will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent, and

          the certificates for all physically tendered originalold notes, in proper form for transfer, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile of this letter) or a book-entry confirmation for originalold notes held in book-entry form together with an agent's message instead of this letter, as the case may be, with any required signature guarantees and all other documents required by this letter, are received by the exchange agent within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery.

        Determination of Validity

                We will resolve all questions regarding the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange and withdrawal of any tendered old notes. Our determination of these questions as well as our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. A tender of old notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as we will determine, unless we waive the defects or irregularities. Neither us, any of our affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders nor will we or they be liable for failing to give any such notice.

                We reserve the absolute right, in our sole and absolute discretion:

          to reject any tenders determined to be in improper form or unlawful;

          to waive any of the conditions of the exchange offer; and

        Table of Contents

          to waive any condition or irregularity in the tender of old notes by any holder.

        Any waiver to the exchange offer will apply to all old notes tendered.

                Based on existing SEC interpretations issued to third parties in unrelated transactions, we believe that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders other than affiliates of us after the registered exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the exchangenew notes is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and is not an affiliate of us, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided that broker-dealers receiving new notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes. While the SEC has not taken a position with respect to this particular transaction, under existing SEC interpretations relating to transactions structured substantially like the exchange offer, participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to exchangenew notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment of the notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement. We will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you that the staff will take the same position on this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters to other parties in similar transactions.

                By tendering old notes, the holder, other than participating broker-dealers, as defined below, of those old notes will represent to us that, among other things:

          the new notes acquired in the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the new notes, whether or not that person is the holder;

          neither the holder nor any other person receiving the new notes is engaged in, intends to engage in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" (as defined under the Securities Act) of the new notes; and

          neither the holder nor any other person receiving the new notes is an "affiliate" (as defined under the Securities Act) of us.

                If any holder or any such other person is an "affiliate" of us or is engaged in, intends to engage in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" of the new notes, such holder or other person:

          may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC referred to above; and

          must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

                Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes must represent that the old notes to be exchanged for the new notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of the new notes. Any such broker-dealer is referred to as a "participating broker-dealer." However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" (as defined under the Securities Act). If a broker-dealer acquired old notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities, it may use this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in connection with offers to resell, resales or retransfers of new notes received in exchange for the old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with


        Table of Contents

        any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution" for a discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers in connection with the exchange offer.

        Withdrawal Rights

                You can withdraw tenders of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

                For a withdrawal to be effective, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent. The notice of withdrawal must:

          specify the name of the person tendering the old notes to be withdrawn;

          identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the total principal amount of old notes to be withdrawn; and

          where certificates for old notes are transmitted, the name of the registered holder of the old notes if different from the person withdrawing the old notes.

                If you delivered or otherwise identified old notes to the exchange agent, you must submit the serial numbers of the old notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in the case of old notes tendered for the account of an eligible institution. If you tendered old notes as a book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and you must deliver the notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. You may not rescind withdrawals of tender; however, properly withdrawn old notes may again be tendered by following one of the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

                We will determine all questions regarding the form of withdrawal, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of withdrawal notices. Our determination of these questions as well as our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Neither us, any of our affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will we be liable for failing to give any such notice.

                Withdrawn old notes will be returned to the holder after withdrawal. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, the old notes withdrawn or not exchanged will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. Any old notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to the holder.

        Conditions to the Exchange Offer

                Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we are not required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, we determine that:

          the new notes to be received will not be tradable by the holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

          we have not received all applicable governmental approvals;

          the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of old notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation or policy of the staff of the SEC; or

        Table of Contents

          any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.

                The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, or we may waive the conditions, completely or partially, whenever or as many times as we choose, in our reasonable discretion. The foregoing rights are not deemed waived because we fail to exercise them, but continue in effect, and we may still assert them whenever or as many times as we choose. However, any such condition, other than any involving government approval, must be satisfied or waived before the expiration of the offer. If we determine that a waiver of conditions materially changes the exchange offer, the prospectus will be amended or supplemented, and the exchange offer extended, if appropriate, as described under "—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

                In addition, at a time when any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or with respect to the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and no new notes will be issued in exchange for any such old notes.

                If we terminate or suspend the exchange offer based on a determination that the exchange offer violates applicable law or SEC policy, the registration rights agreements require that we, as soon as practicable after such determination, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the old notes to be filed and declared effective by the SEC. See "—Registration Rights and Additional Interest on the Old Notes."

        Exchange Agent

                We appointed U.S. Bank National Association as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct questions and requests for assistance and for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent at the following address:

        By Mail, Overnight Courier or Hand:
        U.S. Bank National Association
        60 Livingston Ave.
        St. Paul, MN 55107
        Attn: Specialized Finance
        Select Medical Corporation
        6.375% Senior Notes due 2021
        Telephone: 651-466-7150
        Facsimile: 651-466-7372

                If you deliver letters of transmittal and any other required documents to an address or facsimile number other than those listed above, your tender is invalid.

        Fees and Expenses

                The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the new notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of old notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.


        Table of Contents

                We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

        Transfer Taxes

                Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange. If, however, new notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then the holder must pay any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person.

        Accounting Treatment

                The new notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes for the exchange transaction. We intend to amortize the debt issuance costs of the exchange offer and issuance of the old notes over the term of the new notes.

        Registration Rights and Additional Interest on the Old Notes

                If:

          applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect the exchange offer contemplated by this prospectus; or

          for any other reason this exchange offer is not completed before the later of (i) 60 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement and (ii) 270 days after date of issuance of the old notes; or

          prior to the 30th day following consummation of this exchange offer:

          any initial purchaser so requests with respect to old notes not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in this exchange offer and that are held by it following consummation of this exchange offer;

          any holder of old notes notifies us that it is not eligible to participate in this exchange offer a broker-dealer notifies us that it holds securities acquired directly from us or our affiliates; or

          an initial purchaser notifies us that it will not or did not receive freely tradable new notes in exchange for old notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment,

                we will, subject to certain conditions, at our cost:

          as promptly as practicable but no later than the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreement, file a shelf registration statement covering resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be;

          use our reasonable best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreement; and

          keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earliest of (1) two years from the date of issuance of the old notes and (2) the date on which all notes registered thereunder have been sold in accordance therewith.

        Table of Contents

                If:

          within 300 days from the respective issue dates of the old notes this exchange offer has not been completed;

          if required, the shelf registration statement has not been filed by the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreements or has not been declared effective by the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreements; or

          after the shelf registration statement has been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective at any time prior to the two year anniversary of the date of issuance of the old notes before all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold (each such event is referred to as a registration default)

        then additional interest will accrue on the old notes (in addition to the stated interest on the old notes) from and including the date on which any such registration default has occurred to but excluding the date on which all registration defaults have been cured. Additional interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any registration default and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will such rate exceed 1.00% per annum in the aggregate regardless of the number of registration defaults.

        DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

        General

                The Issuer will issue the new notes (collectively, the "Notes") under an indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of May 28, 2013 among the Issuer, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, dated March 11, 2014, by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee (the "Indenture"). Select issued the new notes as Additional Notes (as defined below) under the Indenture, pursuant to which Select previously issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021. The new notes will rank equally with and form a part of a single class of securities with the 2013 notes and will trade under the same CUSIP number as the 2013 notes.

                The definitions of the terms used in the following summary are set forth below under "—Certain Definitions."

                The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement thereof.

                The terms of the new notes are the same as the terms of the old notes, except that:

          the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

          the new notes will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

          holders of the new notes are not entitled to certain rights under the registration rights agreements; and

          the new notes will not contain provisions relating to increased interest rates in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to timing of the exchange offer.

                The following is a summary of certain material provisions of the Indenture. This summary is not necessarily complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. You should read the Indenture because it, and not this summary, will define your rights as a Holder of the Notes. A copy of the Indentureindenture dated May 28, 2013 has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2013 and isa copy of the supplemental indenture dated March 11, 2014 has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 11, 2014 and are incorporated by reference as an exhibitexhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

        Principal, Maturity and Interest

                In the exchange offer contemplated by this prospectus (the "Offering"), the Issuer will issue up to $600.0$110.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes under the Indenture. The Issuer may issue additional Notes (the "Additional Notes") from time to time under the Indenture. However, no offering of any Additional Notes is being or shall in any manner be deemed to be made by this prospectus. The Notes and any Additional Notes of the same series issued under the same Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture.

                The Notes will mature on June 1, 2021. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 6.375% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on DecemberJune 1, 2013,2014, to Holders of record on the immediately preceding May 15 and December 15. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from January 9, 2013.March 11, 2014. Interest will be computed on the basis


        Table of Contents

        of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months, and in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

        Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

                Principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on the Notes will be payable, and the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which initially will be an office of an affiliate of the trustee in New York, New York); at


        Table of Contents

        the option of the Issuer, however, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the holders as such address appears in the register of holders, and in addition, if a holder of at least $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes has given wire transfer instructions to us prior to the record date for a payment, the Issuer will make such payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on such holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest on, notes in global form registered in the name of or held by DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.

        Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

                The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the Notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

        Transfer and Exchange

                A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

        Subsidiary Guarantees

                The notes are guaranteed by each of the Issuer's current Domestic Subsidiaries, other than those that are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, as long as they remain Restricted Subsidiaries. Future Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement will also become guarantors of the Notes. The Subsidiary Guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the New Notes." Federal and state statutes could allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the subsidiary guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the Notes and require note holders to return payments received from subsidiary guarantors. A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

                  (1)   immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and


        Table of Contents

                  (2)   either:

                    (a)   the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the registration rights agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

                    (b)   such transaction does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture.


        Table of Contents

                The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor is released:

                  (1)   in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary), if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

                  (2)   in connection with any sale of Capital Stock of that Guarantor following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture;

                  (3)   if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

                  (4)   if that Guarantor is released from its guarantee under the Credit Agreement; or

                  (5)   upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge."

                If any Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors is released from their Subsidiary Guarantees, if any.

                See "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

        Optional Redemption

                At any time prior to June 1, 2016, the Issuer may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 106.375% of the principal amount, thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Issuer or a contribution to the equity capital of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) from the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (in each case, other than Excluded Contributions);provided that:

                  (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture (including Additional Notes but excluding notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

                  (2)   the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering or equity contribution.

                Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph and the second succeeding paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer's option prior to June 1, 2016.


        Table of Contents

                On or after June 1, 2016, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning

        2019 and thereafter

          100.000%

                Before June 1, 2016, the Issuer may also redeem all or any portion of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, the date of redemption (a "Make-Whole Redemption Date").

                "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to any note on any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such Make-Whole Redemption Date of (1) the redemption price of such note at June 1, 2016 (exclusive of accrued interest), plus (2) all scheduled interest payments due on such note from the Make-Whole Redemption Date through June 1, 2016, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such Make-Whole Redemption Date, plus 50 basis points over (B) the principal amount of such note.

                "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to such Make-Whole Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016;provided, however, that if the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from such Make-Whole Redemption Date to June 1, 2016 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

                Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and Additional Interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

        Selection and Notice

                If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable DTC or stock exchange requirements.

                No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days


        Table of Contents

        prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

                If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal


        Table of Contents

        amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Additional Interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption. Any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to the Indenture may, in the Issuer's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

        Mandatory Redemption

                The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

        Repurchase at the Option of Holders

        Change of Control

                If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that holder's notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

                On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

                  (1)   accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

                  (2)   deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

                  (3)   deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Issuer.

                The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.


        Table of Contents

                The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.


        Table of Contents

                The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

                A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of and conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control if there is a definitive agreement in place to consummate a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control if consummated at the time such Change of Control Offer is made.

                The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuer to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

        Asset sales

                The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

                  (1)   the Issuer (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

                  (2)   at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this paragraph (2), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

                    (a)   Cash Equivalents;

                    (b)   any liabilities, as shown on the Issuer's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

                    (c)   any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

                    (d)   any Designated Noncash Consideration the Fair Market Value of which, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (d) (and not subsequently converted into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale), does not exceed $50.0 million since the Issue Date, with the Fair Market Value of


        Table of Contents

            each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and

                    (e)   any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the second succeeding paragraph.


        Table of Contents

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to in clause (2) above shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

                Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

                  (1)   to repay Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock" and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

                  (2)   to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer;

                  (3)   to make a capital expenditure with respect to a Permitted Business; or

                  (4)   to acquire Additional Assets;

        provided that the requirements of clauses (2) through (4) above shall be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement (including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to in any of clauses (2) through (4) above is entered into by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds and such Net Proceeds are applied in accordance with such agreement.

                Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

                Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the third paragraph of this covenant will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, within ten business days thereof, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of notes and if the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of such otherpari passu Indebtedness), any holders of other Indebtedness that ispari passu with the Notes. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and otherpari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such otherpari passu Indebtedness will be purchased ona pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

                The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to

        have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

                    (a)   the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

                    (b)   the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

        Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

                If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, acquires or creates another Subsidiary, other than a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, after the Issue Date that guarantees Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, then that newly acquired or created Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a


        Table of Contents

        supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel to the trustee within 30 business days of the date on which it was acquired or created.

        Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

                The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "—Restricted payments" or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

                Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an officers' certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption "—Restricted payments." If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock," the Issuer will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer;provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "—Incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of disqualified stock and preferred stock," and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

        Payments for Consent

                The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.


        Table of Contents

        Reports

                Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the trustee and to Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC and the holders of notes:

                  (1)   all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, if the Issuer were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" that describes the Issuer's consolidated financial condition and results of operation


        Table of Contents

          and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer's independent registered public accountants, and

                  (2)   all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

                The Issuer may satisfy its obligation to furnish such information to the trustee and Cede & Co. at any time by filing such information with the SEC. In addition, the Issuer will agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to any beneficial owner of notes or to any prospective purchaser of notes in connection with any sale thereof, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

                If at any time Holdings (or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer) becomes a guarantor of the Notes (there being no obligation of Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer to do so), and Holdings (or such other parent company) and complies with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to the trustee and Cede & Co. or filed with the SEC pursuant to this covenant may, at the option of the Issuer, be those of Holdings (or such other parent company) rather than the Issuer.

        Events of Default and Remedies

                Each of the following is an Event of Default:

                  (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Additional Interest, if any, with respect to, the Notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the indenture;

                  (2)   default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the indenture;

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

                Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

                  (3)   such holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;


        Table of Contents

                  (5)   holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

                The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

        Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

                The Issuer may at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

                  (1)   the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

                In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors released ("Covenant Defeasance") with respect to the covenants described under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control," "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" and "Certain Covenants" and with respect to certain Events of Default (including bankruptcy default with respect to Significant Subsidiaries, cross-default and judgment default) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including nonpayment and bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events with respect to the Issuer) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

        Concerning the Trustee

                If the trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

                The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

        Certain Bankruptcy and Fraudulent Transfer Limitations

                Fraudulent transfer, insolvency and administrative laws may void, subordinate or limit the Notes and Note Guarantees and may otherwise limit your ability to enforce your rights under the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

                Under U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the issuance of the Guarantees by Parent and the Guarantors could be voided, or claims in respect of such obligations could be subordinated to all of their other debts and other liabilities, if, among other things, at the time Parent and/or the Guarantors issued the related Guarantees, or potentially the Guarantees of the old notes, Parent or the applicable Guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present


        Table of Contents

        or future creditor; or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness and either:

          was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

          was engaged in a business or transaction for which Parent's or such Guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

          intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

                The measures of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding with respect to the foregoing. Generally, however, Parent or a Guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

          the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the saleable value of all of its assets;

          the present fair saleable value of its assets was less that the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

          it could not pay its debts as they become due.

                By its terms, the Guarantee of each Guarantor will limit the liability of each such Guarantor to the maximum amount it can pay without the Guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer. Parent believes that immediately after the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors, Parent and each of the Guarantors will be solvent, will have sufficient capital to carry on its respective business and will be able to pay its respective debts as they mature. However, a court may not apply these standards in making its determinations and a court may not reach the same conclusions with regard to these issues. In an evidentiary ruling in In re W.R. Grace & Co., the federal bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware held that under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, whether a transferor is insolvent or is rendered insolvent depends on the actual liabilities of the transferor, and not what the transferor knows about such liabilities at the time of the transfer. Therefore, under that court's analysis, liabilities that are unknown, or that are known to exist but whose magnitude is not fully appreciated at the time of the transfer, may be taken into account in the context of a future determination of insolvency. If the principle articulated by that court is upheld, it would make it very difficult to know whether a transferor is solvent at the time of transfer, and would increase the risk that a transfer may in the future be found to be a fraudulent conveyance.


        Table of Contents

                If a bankruptcy proceeding were to be commenced under the federal bankruptcy laws by or against Parent or any other Guarantor, it is likely that delays will occur in any payment upon acceleration of the Notes and in enforcing remedies under the applicable Indenture, because of specific provisions of such laws or by a court applying general principles of equity. Provisions under federal bankruptcy laws or general principles of equity that could result in the impairment of your rights include, but are not limited to:

          the automatic stay;

          avoidance of preferential transfers by a trustee or debtor-in-possession;debtor-in- possession;

          substantive consolidation;

          limitations on collectability of unmatured interest or attorney fees;

          fraudulent conveyance; and


        Table of Contents

          forced restructuring of the Notes, including reduction of principal amounts and interest rates and extension of maturity dates, over the holders' objections.

        Book-Entry; Delivery and Form

                The certificates representing the old notes have been, and in the case of the new notes will be, issued in fully registered form without interest coupons and represented by one or more global notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (each a "Global Note") deposited with the Trustee as a custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.

          The Global Notes

                Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system.

                So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the new notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the new notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's procedures, in addition to those provided for under the Indenture with respect to the new notes.

                Payments of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

                The Issuer expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Notes, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.


        Table of Contents

                Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC's same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a Certificated Security for any reason, including to sell notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the Notes, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a Global Note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

                DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Global Notes, DTC will exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Securities, which it will distribute to its participants.


        Table of Contents

                DTC has advised the Issuer as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly ("indirect participants").

                Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

          Certificated Securities

                Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Global Notes (i) if requested by a holder of such interests or (ii) if DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days.

        CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

                This section describes certain material U.S. Federal income tax consequences of exchanging the old notes for the new notes pursuant to this exchange offer and of owning and disposing of the new notes. It applies to you only if you acquire the new notes in this exchange offer and you hold the new notes as capital assets (generally, held for investment) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

          a dealer in securities or currencies;

          a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;

          a financial institution;

          a regulated investment company;

          a life insurance company;

          a tax-exempt organization;

          a non-U.S. or U.S. partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes;

          a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

          an expatriate;

          a person owning new notes that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks;

          a person owning new notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; or

          a U.S. Holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for U.S. Federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

                This section (i) does not address all aspects of U.S. Federal income taxation, such as estate and gift tax consequences and alternative minimum tax consequences, (ii) does not deal with all tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder's individual circumstances, and (iii) does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences.

                This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Treasury Regulations"), published rulings and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. We are not seeking a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the tax consequences of the ownership or exchangedisposition of the new notes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge one or more of the conclusions stated herein.

        Exchange Offer

                Whether you are a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder (each as defined below), exchanging an old note for a new note should not be treated as a taxable exchange for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Consequently, you should not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note. Your holding period for a new note should include the holding period for the old note and your initial basis in the new note should be the same as your adjusted basis in the old note.note immediately before the exchange.


        Table of Contents

        Possible Application of Rules Governing Contingent Payment Debt Instruments to the New Notes

                In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay holders amounts in excess of the stated interest and principal payable on the new notes. For example, in the event of a Change of Control, we would generally be required to repurchase the new notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid stated interest to the date of repurchase. The obligation to make such payments may implicate the provisions of the Treasury Regulations governing "contingent payment debt instruments." If the new notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, holders would, among other things, be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of a new note as ordinary income rather than as capital gain, and to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the stated interest rate. We intend to take the position that the likelihood that such payments will be made is remote and/or that such payments in the aggregate would be incidental, and therefore that the new notes are not subject to the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. This determination will be binding on a holder unless such holder explicitly discloses in a statement attached to such holder's timely filed U.S. Federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the acquisition date of the new note that such holder's determination is different. It is possible, however, that the IRS may take a contrary position from that described above, in which case the tax consequences to a holder could differ materially and adversely from those described below. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the new notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

        U.S. Holders

                This subsection describes the U.S. Federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder. You are a U.S. Holder if you are a beneficial owner of a new note and you are:

          an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

          a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

          an estate whose income is subject to U.S. Federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

          a trust, if a court in the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons (as such term is defined under the Internal Revenue Code) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and a valid election is in place under applicable Treasury regulationRegulations to treat the trust as a United States person.

                If a U.S. Holder is a partnership, or any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of each partner of the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partners and owners in a partnership, or any other entity treated as partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, should consult their own tax advisors concerning the specific tax considerations relevant to their particular circumstances.

                If you are not a U.S. Holder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to "Non-U.S. Holders" below.

        Taxation of Stated Interest

                YouSubject to the discussion of "Amortizable Bond Premium" below, you generally will be taxed on stated interest on a new note as ordinary income at the time you receive such interest income or when it accrues, depending on your method of accounting for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.


        Table of Contents

        Amortizable Bond Premium

                If you receive a new note pursuant to the exchange offer of which the issue price exceeds the stated principal amount, the new notes will be considered to have amortizable bond premium equal to the amount of that excess. You generally may elect to amortize the premium using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the new note as an offset to interest when included in income in your regular method of tax accounting. However, because we have an option to redeem the new notes prior to maturity at a premium, special rules apply that may reduce or eliminate the amount of premium that a U.S. Holder may amortize with respect to the new notes. You should consult your tax advisors about these special rules. This election to amortize premium on a constant yield method will apply to all debt obligations (other than debt obligations the interest on which is excludable from gross income) you hold at the beginning of, or acquire during or after, the first taxable year for which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If you make the election to amortize premium with respect to a new note, you will be required to reduce your adjusted tax basis in the new note by the amount of the premium amortized. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the new note. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding this election.

        Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the New Notes

                Your adjusted tax basis in your new note generally will be its cost. Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a new note, you will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in the new note. For these purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest not previously included in gross income, which amounts are treated in the same way as stated interest as described under "U.S. Holders—Taxation of Stated Interest," above. Gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition by a U.S. Holder will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder has held the new note for more than one year. Long-term capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. Holder is generally eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.

        Unearned Income Medicare Contribution

                Certain noncorporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax, in addition to regular tax on income and gains, on some or all of their "net investment income," which generally includes interest on a new note and any gain recognized upon a disposition of a new note. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the applicability of this tax in respect of their new notes.

        Non-U.S. Holders

                This subsection describes certain material U.S. Federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder. You are a Non-U.S. Holder if you are a beneficial owner of a new note that is an individual, corporation, trust or estate for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and you are not a U.S. Holder.

                If you are a U.S. Holder, this subsection does not apply to you.

        Taxation of Stated Interest

                Except to the extent that an applicable income tax treaty otherwise provides, you generally will be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. Holder with respect to stated interest if such interest income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Effectively connected stated interest of a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may also, in some circumstances, be subject


        Table of Contents

        to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate). Even though such effectively connected stated interest may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, it is not subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax (described below) if you deliver to us or our agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI.

                Under U.S. Federal income tax law, and subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder of a new note and the stated interest on the new note is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, you generally will not be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate) if:

          you do not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Issuer's stock entitled to vote;

          you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Issuer through stock ownership; and


        Table of Contents

          we or our agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and you have furnished to us or our agent an IRS Form W-8BEN upon which you certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are a not a United States person.

                If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of stated interest made to you will be subject to the 30% U.S. Federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed:

          IRS Form W-8BEN claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty; or

          IRS Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on the new notes is not subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

        Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the New Notes

                If you are a Non-U.S. Holder of a new note, you generally will not be subject to U.S. Federal income tax or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a new note (other than any amount representing accrued but unpaid stated interested not previously included in gross income, which will be treated as discussed under "Non-U.S. Holders—Taxation of Stated Interest," above) unless:

          the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, to the extent an applicable income tax treaty so provides, is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, in which case such gain will be taxable in the same manner as effectively connected stated interest as discussed above; or

          you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year in which the gain is realized and certain other conditions exist, in which case you will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. Federal income tax on any gain recognized (except to the extent otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. losses.

        Backup withholding and Information Reporting

        U.S. Holders

                Information reporting on IRS Form 1099 will apply to payments of stated interest on, or the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of, the new notes with respect to certain noncorporate U.S.


        Table of Contents

        Holders, and backup withholding on these payments may apply unless the recipient of such payments has supplied a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information or otherwise established an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against that holder's U.S. Federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

                Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the IRS with respect to their investment in the new notes held through an account with certain foreign financial institutions. Such U.S. Holders who fail to report required information could become subject to substantial penalties. Prospective investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding these new provisions.

        Non-U.S. Holders

                Backup withholding and information reporting on IRS Form 1099 will not apply to payments of principal and interest to a Non-U.S. Holder provided that you certify, under penalties of perjury, that


        Table of Contents

        you are not a United States person and provide your name and address on a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN and neither the payor nor its agent has actual knowledge that you are a United States person. Interest payments on a new note made to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will, however, be reported to the IRS and to such Non-U.S. Holder on IRS Form 1042-S.

                Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to a payment of the proceeds of a sale of the new notes effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a foreign broker. However, information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply to a payment of the proceeds of a sale of the new notes effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a U.S. related broker if the broker (i) is a United States person, (ii) derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (iii) is a "controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, or (iv) is a foreign partnership that, at any time during its taxable year is 50% or more (by income or capital interest) owned by United States persons or is engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, unless in any such case the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a Non-U.S. Holder and certain conditions are met, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment of the proceeds of a sale of the new notes by a U.S. office of a broker will be subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder certifies its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption.

                Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against that holder's U.S. Federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

        PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

                Under existing SEC interpretations, we expect that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the new notes represents that it is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and that it is not an affiliate of ours as such terms are interpreted by the SEC;provided that broker-dealers receiving new notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes as discussed below. While the SEC has not taken a position with respect to this particular transaction, under existing SEC interpretations relating to transactions structured substantially like this exchange offer, participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to new notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment of the old notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement.

                Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until                   , 2013,2014, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

                We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer or from any sale of new notes by brokers-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealerbroker- dealer that resells the new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

                For a period of one year after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the old notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

        Business Description

                Select Medical Corporation ("Company") was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997 upon the completion of its first acquisition. Select Medical Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") was formed in October 2004 for the purpose of affecting a leveraged buyout of the Company, which was a publicly traded entity. On February 24, 2005, the Company merged with a subsidiary of Holdings, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the "Merger").

                The Company provides long term acute care hospital services and inpatient acute rehabilitative hospital care through its specialty hospital segment and provides physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services through its outpatient rehabilitation segment. The Company's specialty hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of long term stay acute patients and hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive medical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to the Company's specialty hospitals from general acute care hospitals. These patients have specialized needs, and serious and often complex medical conditions such as respiratory failure, neuromuscular disorders, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, non-healing wounds, cardiac disorders, renal disorders and cancer. The Company's outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics and contract services that provide physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation services. The Company's outpatient rehabilitation patients are typically diagnosed with musculoskeletal impairments that restrict their ability to perform normal activities of daily living. The Company operated 118, 119 and 122 specialty hospitals at December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company operated 944, 954, and 979 outpatient clinics, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company had facilities in the District of Columbia and 41, 39 and 39 states, respectively.

        Reclassifications

                Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts in order to conform to the current-year presentation.

        Principles of Consolidation

                The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships the Company and its subsidiaries control through ownership of general and limited partnership or membership interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

        Use of Estimates

                The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents

                The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.

        Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

                The Company reports accounts receivable at estimated net realizable values. Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients whose costs are primarily paid by federal and state governmental authorities, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and workers' compensation programs. Collection of these accounts receivable is the Company's primary source of cash and is critical to its operating performance. The Company's primary collection risks relate to non-governmental payors who insure these patients and deductibles, co-payments and amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments and amounts owed by the patient are an immaterial portion of the Company's net accounts receivable balance and accounted for approximately 0.2% of the net accounts receivable balance before doubtful accounts at both December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. The Company's general policy is to verify insurance coverageCommission prior to the date of admission forthis prospectus, while information that we file later with the Commission will automatically update and supersede this prospectus. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a patient admittedpart of this prospectus.

                You may request copies of our filings with the Commission and forms of documents pertaining to the Company's hospitalssecurities offered hereby referred to in this prospectus without charge, from our website at www.selectmedical.com or by requesting them in the case of the Company's outpatient rehabilitation clinics, the Company verifies insurance coverage prior to their first therapy visit. The Company's estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculatedwriting or by providing a reserve allowance based upon the age of an account balance. Generally the Company has reserved as uncollectible all governmental accounts over 365 days and non-governmental accounts over 180 days from discharge. This method is monitored based on historical cash collections experience. Collections are impacted by the effectiveness of the Company's collection efforts with non-governmental payors and regulatory or administrative disruptions with the fiscal intermediaries that pay the Company's governmental receivables.telephone at:

        717-972-1100

                The Company has historically collected substantially all of its third-party insured receivables (net of contractual allowances) which include receivables from governmental agencies. The Company reviews its overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of net revenue less the provision for bad debts.

                Uncollected accounts are written off the balance sheet when they are turned overIn order to an outside collection agency, or when management determines that the balance is uncollectible, whichever occurs first.

        Property and Equipment

                Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The general range of useful lives is as follows:

        Leasehold improvements

        5 years

        Furniture and equipment

        3 - 20 years

        Buildings

        40 years

        Building Improvements

        5 - 25 years

        Land Improvements

        SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

                The Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded costs may not be recoverable. Gains or losses related to the retirement or disposal of property and equipment are reported as a component of income from operations.

        Concentration of Credit Risk

                Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances and trade receivables. The Company invests its excess cash with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit to its patients, most of who reside in the service area of the Company's facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements. Because of the geographic diversity of the Company's facilities and non-governmental third-party payors, Medicare represents the Company's only significant concentration of credit risk.

        Income Taxes

                Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates income taxes based on its actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. The Company also recognizes as deferred tax assets the future tax benefits from net operating loss carry forwards. The Company evaluates the realizability of these deferred tax assets by assessing their valuation allowances and by adjusting the amountobtain timely delivery of such allowances, if necessary. Among the factors used to assess the likelihooddocuments, holders of realization are projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.

                Reserves for uncertain tax positions are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likelyold notes must request this information no later than not that a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated.

        Intangible Assets

                Goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are subject to periodic impairment evaluations. In performing the quantitative periodic impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment condition exists, which results in an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying value.

                To determine the fair value of its reporting units, the Company uses a discounted cash flow approach. Included in this analysis are assumptions regarding revenue growth rate, future Adjusted EBITDA margin estimates, future general and administrative expense rates and the industry's weighted average cost of capital and industry specific market comparable Adjusted EBITDA multiples. The Company also must estimate residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires the Company to use its knowledge of (1) its industry, (2) its recent transactions, and (3) reasonable performance expectations for its


        Table of Contents

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        operations. If any one of the above assumptions changes or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in the Company's estimated fair value could result in a material impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units.

                Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that might suggest a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in thefive business environment, regulatory environment or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. For purposes of goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has defined its reporting units as specialty hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy with goodwill having been allocated among reporting units based on the relative fair value of those divisions when the Merger occurred in 2005 and based on subsequent acquisitions and dispositions. The Company's most recent impairment assessment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2012 utilizing financial information as of October 1, 2012 and indicated that there was no impairment with respect to goodwill or other recorded intangible assets.

                Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. Deferred income taxes have been recorded to the extent of differences between the fair value and the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Company management has allocated the intangible assets between identifiable intangibles and goodwill. At December 31, 2012, intangible assets other than goodwill consist of the values assigned to trademarks, certificates of need and accreditations. Management believes that the estimated useful lives established are reasonable based on the economic factors applicable to each of the intangible assets.

                The approximate useful life of each class of intangible assets is as follows:

        TrademarksIndefinite
        Certificates of needIndefinite
        AccreditationsIndefinite

                The Company reviews the realizability of intangible assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded amounts may not be recoverable.

                If the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the carrying amount of such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value.

        Due to Third-Party Payors

                Due to third-party payors represents the difference between amounts received under interim payment plans from Medicare and Medicaid for services rendered and amounts estimated to be reimbursed by those third-party payors upon settlement of cost reports.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Insurance Risk Programs

                Under a number of the Company's insurance programs, which include the Company's employee health insurance program, its workers' compensation, professional liability insurance programs and certain components under its property and casualty insurance program, the Company is liable for a portion of its losses. In these situations the Company accrues for its losses under an occurrence-based approach whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrues that estimated liability. Where the Company has substantial exposure, actuarial methods are utilized in estimating the losses. In cases where the Company has minimal exposure, losses are estimated by analyzing historical trends. These programs are monitored quarterly and estimates are revised as necessary to take into account additional information. Provisions for losses for professional liability risks retained by the Company at December 31, 2011 and 2012 have been discounted at 3%. At December 31, 2011 and 2012 respectively, the Company had recorded a liability of $85.7 million and $92.5 million related to these programs. If the Company did not discount the provisions for losses for professional liability risks, the aggregate liability for all of the insurance risk programs would be approximately $88.6 million and $95.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

        Equity Method Investments

                Investments in equity method investees are accounted for using the equity method based upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceeds its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. The Company evaluates its investments in companies accounted for using the equity method for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a decrease in value may be other than temporary.

        Non-Controlling Interests

                The interests held by other parties in subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships owned and controlled by the Company are reported as either redeemable non-controlling interests outside of stockholders' equity or as non-controlling interests in the stockholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The minority ownership interests that are reflected as redeemable non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets consist of those outside owners that have certain "put rights," that are currently exercisable, and that, if exercised, require us to purchase the minority member's interest. Those redeemable non-controlling interests that are currently redeemable or considered probable of becoming redeemable have been adjusted to their approximate redemption values. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, we believe the redemption values of the non-controlling ownership interests approximates the fair value of those interests classified as redeemable non-controlling interests. The non-controlling interests' balances reported in the stockholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheets were $26.7 million and $28.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

                Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $4.7 million, $4.9 million and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2012, respectively. Non-controlling interests reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income reflect the respective interests in the income or loss of the subsidiaries, attributable to the other parties, the effect of which is removed from the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

                During 2012, the amounts related to redeemable non-controlling interests have been reclassified on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and the consolidated statement of changes in equity and income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 from non-controlling interests to redeemable non-controlling interests. The redeemable non-controlling interests' balances reported on our consolidated balance sheets were $9.0 million and $10.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

        Revenue Recognition

                Net operating revenues consists primarily of patient service revenues and revenues generated from therapy services provided to healthcare institutions under contractual arrangements and are recognized as services are rendered.

                Patient service revenue is reported net of provisions for contractual allowances from third-party payors and patients. The Company has agreements with third-party payors that provide for payments to the Company at amounts different from its established billing rates. The differences between the estimated program reimbursement rates and the standard billing rates are accounted for as contractual adjustments, which are deducted from gross revenues to arrive at net operating revenues. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges, per diem and per visit payments. Retroactive adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Accounts receivable resulting from such payment arrangements are recorded net of contractual allowances.

                A significant portion of the Company's net operating revenues are generated directly from the Medicare program. Net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 47%, 48% and 47% of the Company's net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Approximately 32% and 29% of the Company's accounts receivable (after allowances for contractual adjustments but before doubtful accounts) at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, are from this payor source. As a provider of services to the Medicare program, the Company is subject to extensive regulations. The inability of any of the Company's specialty hospitals or clinics to comply with regulations can result in significant changes in that specialty hospital's or clinic's net operating revenues generated from the Medicare program.

                Revenues generated under contractual arrangements are comprised primarily of billings for services rendered to nursing homes, hospitals, schools and other third parties.

        Fair Value Measurements

                The Company measures interest rate swap agreements at fair value at each balance sheet date. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate swap agreements based on financial models

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        that consider current and future market interest rates and adjustments for non-performance risk. The Company considers those inputs utilized in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. The Company's last interest rate swap agreement matured on November 22, 2010.

        Financial Instruments and Hedging

                The Company has in the past entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk on a portion of its long-term borrowings. Interest rate swap agreements were limited in use and not entered into for speculative purposes. All interest rate swap agreements were recognized at fair value on the balance sheet. The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges, were initially deferred in stockholders' equity as a component of other comprehensive income. These deferred gains or losses were subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in expense. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements were immediately recognized in the other income and expense section of the consolidated statement of operations.

        Stock Based Compensation

                The Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements comprise both stock options and restricted share plans. Employee stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation method which uses assumptions that relate to the expected volatility of the Company's common stock, the expected dividend yield of the Company's stock, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods or periods of service of the option grant. The Company values restricted stock grants by using the public market price of its stock on the date of grant.

        Recent Accounting Pronouncements

                In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," ("Update 2012-02"). In accordance with Update 2012-02, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, the entity will be required to perform the quantitative impairment test. Update 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, early adoption is permitted. Update 2012-02 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

                In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("Update 2011-05") that improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Update 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either method, adjustments must be displayed for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income ("OCI") to net income, in both net income and OCI. Update 2011-05 does not change the current option for presenting components of OCI gross or net of the effect of income taxes, provided that such tax effects are presented in the statement in which OCI is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, Update 2011-05 does not affect the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. Update 2011-05 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively. With the adoption of Update 2011-05, the Company opted to change its presentation of its components of other comprehensive income to a single continuous statement of operations and other comprehensive income.

        2. Acquisitions

        For the Year Ended December 31, 2010

                On September 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding equity securities of Regency Hospital Company, L.L.C. ("Regency") an operator of long term acute care hospitals, for $210.0 million, including certain assumed liabilities. The amount paid at closing was reduced by $33.1 million for certain assumed liabilities, payments to employees, payments for the purchase of non-controlling interests and an estimated working capital adjustment. The purchase price was subject to a final settlement of net working capital which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011. Regency operated a network of 23 long term acute care hospitals located in nine states. The results of operations of Regency have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since September 1, 2010 and consisted of net operating revenues of $94.4 million and a pre-tax loss of $12.9 million for the four months ended December 31, 2010. Regency's operations have been included in the specialty hospitals segment.

                The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon estimates of fair value, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. The factors that were considered when deciding to acquire Regency and determining the purchase price that resulted in goodwill included the historical earnings of the acquired long term acute care hospitals, general and administrative cost saving opportunities that could be achieved by utilizing the Company's infrastructure and the benefits that could be achieved by having a larger network of long term acute care hospitals.

        Senior Secured Credit Facilities

                On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit agreement that originally provided $1.15 billion in senior secured credit facilities, comprised of an $850.0 million, seven-year term loan facility and a $300.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a $75.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.

                The Company used borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities to refinance all of its outstanding indebtedness under its previously existing senior secured credit facilities, to repurchase $266.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and to repay all $150.0 million of Holdings' 10% senior subordinated notes due 2015. The Company recognized a loss on early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $20.4 million related to these transactions. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of the Company's current domestic subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by the Company's future domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company's existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of the Company's capital stock, the capital stock of Company's domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the capital stock of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, if any.

                On August 13, 2012, the Company entered into an additional credit extension amendment to its senior secured credit facilities providing for a $275.0 million additional term loan tranche to the Company at the same interest rate and with the same term as the then existing term loan facility.

                Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to:

          in the case of the term loans, Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%; and

          in the case of the revolving loans, Adjusted LIBO plus a percentage ranging from 2.75% to 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case based on the Company's leverage ratio (the ratio of indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit agreement).

                "Adjusted LIBO" is defined as, with respect to any interest period, the London interbank offered rate for such interest period, adjusted for any applicable statutory reserve requirements; provided that Adjusted LIBO, when used in reference to the term loans, will at no time be less than 1.75% per annum.

                "Alternate Base Rate" is defined as the highest of (a) the administrative agent's Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO from time to time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00%.

                The term loans amortize in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in aggregate amounts equal to $2.8 million. The balance of the term loans will be payable on June 1, 2018, however if on the 90th daydays prior to the scheduled final maturityexpiration date of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 (the "Tranche B Trigger Date") more than $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 are outstanding, the maturity dateexchange offer for the term loans will be the Tranche B Trigger Date. Similarly, the revolving credit facility will be payable on June 1, 2016, however if on the 90th day prior to the scheduled final maturity date of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 (the "Revolving Trigger Date") more than $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 are outstanding, the maturity date for the revolving credit facility will be the Revolving Trigger Date.old notes.

                The Company will be required to prepay borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities with (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens subject to a first lien intercreditor agreement, (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (3) 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) if the Company's leverage ratio is greater than 3.75 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Company's leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 and greater than 3.25 to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal year. The Company will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if the Company's leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00.

                The senior secured credit facilities require the Company to maintain a leverage ratio, which is tested quarterly and becomes more restrictive over time, and prohibits the Company from making capital expenditures in excess of $125.0 million in any fiscal year (subject to a 50% carry-over provision). Failure to comply with these financial covenants would result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, precludes the Company from making further borrowings under the revolving credit facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the senior secured credit facilities.

                The senior secured credit facilities also contain a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The senior secured credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and interest when due, cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

        6. Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

        Senior Subordinated Notes

                On February 24, 2005, EGL Acquisition Corp. sold $660.0 million of 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 which the Company assumed in the Merger. The net proceeds of the offering were used to finance a portion of the Merger consideration, refinance certain of the Company's existing indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). Certain of the Company's subsidiaries that were not wholly-owned by the Company did not guarantee the senior subordinated notes (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The guarantees of the senior subordinated notes are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors, including any borrowings or guarantees by those subsidiaries under the senior secured credit facility. The senior subordinated notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and senior to all of the Company's existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The senior subordinated notes were not guaranteed by Holdings.

                The Company is entitled at its option, effective February 1, 2013 to redeem all or a portion of the senior subordinated notes at face value plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

                The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the senior subordinated notes. However, upon the occurrence of any change of control of the Company, each holder of the senior subordinated notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase such notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

                The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, enter into arrangements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries, transfer and sell assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and effect a consolidation or merger. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the senior subordinated notes.

                In 2008 and 2009 the Company repurchased a total of $48.5 million aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes. In connection with the Company entering into a new senior secured agreement on June 1, 2011, the Company repurchased $266.5 million aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes and on September 12, 2012, the Commpany redeemed $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes.

        7. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans

                On February 25, 2005, Holdings adopted the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. On May 13, 2011, the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan was frozen and Holdings adopted the 2011 Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan are referred to as the "Plans." The Plans provide for grants of restricted stock and stock options of Holdings. On November 8, 2005 the board of directors of Holdings adopted a director equity incentive plan ("Director Plan") and on August 12, 2009, the board of directors and stockholders of Holdings approved an amendment and restatement of the Director Plan. This amendment authorized Holdings to issue under the Director Plan options to purchase up to 75,000 shares of its common stock and restricted stock awards covering up to 150,000 shares of its common stock.

                The options under the Plans and Director Plan generally vest over five years and have an option term not to exceed ten years. The fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming an expected volatility of 36%, no dividend yield, an expected life of five years and a risk free rate of 3.4% in 2010 and expected volatility of 36%, no dividend yield, an expected life of five years and a risk free rate of 3.3% for 2011. There were no options granted under the Plans or Director Plan during the year ended December 31, 2012.

                The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 is primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realization of state net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets of loss entities. The net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2012 of approximately $63.7 million and $71.6 million, respectively, consist of items which have been recognized for tax reporting purposes, but which will increase tax on returns to be filed in the future, and include the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has performed the required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment included a review of legal entities with three years of cumulative losses, estimates of projected future taxable income and the impact of tax-planning strategies that management plans to implement. Although realization is not assured, based on the Company's assessment, it has concluded that it is more likely than not that such assets, net of the determined valuation allowance, will be realized.

        Reserves for Uncertain Tax Positions:

                The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when it is believed that certain positions might be challenged despite the Company's belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

        8. Income Taxes (Continued)

                In 2011, the Company recognized $7.0 million of income tax benefits based on new information discovered by the Company which substantiates previously unrecognized tax benefits from an acquisition which occurred in 1999.

                As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company had $15.6 million and $13.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, all of which, if fully recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate.

                As of December 31, 2012, changes to the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits that are reasonably possible in the next 12 months are not material. The Company's policy is to include interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest related to income taxes of $1.3 million and $1.5 million, net of federal income taxes, respectively. Interest recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $0.5 million, net of federal income tax benefits, respectively.

                The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2008. The statute for the 2006 U.S. federal income tax return is closed with the exception of a capital loss carryback made to this tax year. Substantially all material state, local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2007.

        9. Retirement Savings Plan

                The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan for substantially all of its employees. Employees who are not classified as HCE's (highly compensated employees) may contribute up to 30% of their salary; HCE's may contribute up to 6% of their salary. The Plan provides a discretionary company match which is determined annually. Currently, the Company matches 25% of the first 6% of compensation employees contribute to the plan. The employees vest in the employer contributions over a three-year period beginning on the employee's hire date. The expense incurred by the Company related to this plan was $6.0 million, $7.6 million and $8.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

        10. Segment Information

                The Company's reportable segments consist of (i) specialty hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. Other activities include our corporate services and certain other non-consolidating joint ventures and minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. The outpatient rehabilitation reportable segment has two operating segments: outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy. These operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes as they have common economic characteristics and provide a similar service to a similar patient base. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income (expense).

                Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

                The carrying value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was $878.0 million and $1,226.6 million at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was $823.3 million and $1,216.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market.

                The carrying value of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes was $345.0 million and $70.0 million at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes was $326.4 million and $70.8 million at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of this registered debt was based on quoted market prices.

                The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process of its debt instruments to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy due to the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes being thinly traded.

        Litigation

                The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines and other penalties. The Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company's businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

                To address claims arising out of the operations of the Company's specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company's other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company's opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

                Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

                On January 8, 2013, a federal magistrate judge unsealed an Amended Complaint in United States of America and the State of Indiana, ex rel. Doe I, Doe II and Doe III v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital-Evansville, Evansville Physician Investment Corporation, Dr. Richard Sloan and Dr. Jeffrey Selby. The Amended Complaint, which was served on the Company on February 15, 2013, is a civil action filed under seal on September 28, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States and Indiana under the federal False Claims Act and Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act. The Amended Complaint identifies the plaintiff-relators as Doe I, Doe II and Doe III, and describes them as the CEO and two case managers at the Company's long term acute care hospital in Evansville, Indiana ("SSH-Evansville"). The named defendants include the Company, SSH-Evansville, Evansville Physician Investment Company, the Company's joint venture partner in SSH-Evansville ("EPIC"), and two physicians who have practiced at SSH-Evansville. On February 6, 2013, the District Court issued an order dismissing EPIC without prejudice after the plaintiff-relators filed, on January 31, 2013, a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal of EPIC, to which the United States and Indiana consented. The Notice of Voluntary Dismissal states, among other things, that the United States filed a notice with the Court on

        December 28, 2012 that it had not completed its investigation and thus would not intervene in the action at that time. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana has informed the Company's counsel that, despite the lifting of the seal, the United States is continuing its investigation in order to determine whether or not to intervene in the matter at some point.

                The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants manipulated the length of stay of patients at SSH-Evansville in order to maximize reimbursement under the Medicare prospective payment system applicable to long-term acute care hospitals. It also alleges that the defendants manipulated the discharge of patients to other facilities and the timing of readmissions from those facilities in order to enable SSH-Evansville to receive two separate Medicare payments and causing the other facility to submit claims for unnecessary services. The Amended Complaint discusses the federal Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute and implies that the behavior of physicians referring to or providing services at SSH-Evansville was based on their financial interests. The Amended Complaint further alleges that Dr. Selby, a pulmonologist formerly on the medical staff of SSH-Evansville, performed unnecessary bronchoscopies at the hospital with the knowledge of the Company, and that Dr. Sloan, the Chief Medical Officer and an attending physician at SSH-Evansville, falsely coded the diagnoses of Medicare patients in order to increase SSH-Evansville's reimbursement. Moreover, the Amended Complaint alleges that the practices at SSH-Evansville involved corporate policies of the Company used to maximize profit at all Select long-term acute care hospitals. The Amended Complaint alleges that, through these acts, the defendants have violated the federal False Claims Act and Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act and are liable for unspecified treble damages and penalties.

                As previously disclosed, beginning in April 2012, the Company and SSH-Evansville have received various subpoenas and demands for documents relating to SSH-Evansville, including a request for information and subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and subpoenas from the Office of Attorney General for the State of Indiana, and the Evansville (Indiana) Police Department has executed a search warrant at SSH-Evansville. The Company has produced and will continue to produce documents in response to, and intends to fully cooperate with, these governmental investigations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

        15. Subsequent Events

                On February 20, 2013, the Company entered into an additional credit extension amendment to its senior secured credit facilities providing for a $300.0 million additional term loan tranche, (the "Series B Tranche B Term Loan") to the Company. The Company intends to use borrowings under the Series B Tranche B Term Loan to redeem all of its outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015, to redeem all of Holdings' senior floating rate notes due 2015, and to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

                Borrowings under the Series B Tranche B Term Loan will bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25%. The Series B Tranche B Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in aggregate annual amounts equal to $3.0 million. The balance of the Series B Tranche B Term Loan will be payable on February 20, 2016.

              �� On February 20, 2013, the Company and Holdings each instructed U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee, to deliver an irrevocable notice of redemption to the holders of all of the Company's outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and all of Holdings' outstanding senior floating rate notes due 2015, respectively, all of which will be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on or about March 22, 2013. The Company anticipates recognition of a loss on the early retirement of indebtedness of $0.6 million in the first quarter ending March 31, 2013 for unamortized debt issuance costs.

        16. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Company's 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes

                The Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, except for customary limitations, on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") which is defined as a subsidiary where the Company holds all ownership interests. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries did not guarantee the 75/8% senior subordinated notes (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").

                The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through its subsidiaries. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

                The equity method has been used by the Company with respect to investments in subsidiaries. The equity method has been used by Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to investments in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented.

                The condensed consolidating balance sheets at December 2011 and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 included in this footnote contain certain immaterial adjustments that were made to the December 31, 2011 condensed consolidating balance sheet and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 relating to the presentation of intercompany transactions. On the December 31, 2011 condensed consolidating balance sheet, intercompany accounts that were previously reported as both asset and liability balances within the liability section of the balance sheet have been adjusted and presented separately as either an intercompany receivable within the current asset classification or as an intercompany payable within the current liability classification, based upon the

On the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the changes in intercompany advances that were previously reported as a change in operating assets and liabilities in cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities has been adjusted as a financing activity. These adjustments had no impact on the total equity of the Guarantors, non-Guarantors or Parent Company. They did not alter the net increase or decrease in cash for the Guarantors, non-Guarantors or Parent Company.

                On February 20, 2013, the Company instructed U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee, to deliver an irrevocable notice of redemption to the holders of all of the Company's outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 all of which will be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on or about March 22, 2013.

        SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

        1. Basis of Presentation

                Select Medical Corporation ("Company") was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997 upon the completion of its first acquisition. Select Medical Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") was formed in October 2004 for the purpose of affecting a leveraged buyout of the Company, which was a publicly traded entity. On February 24, 2005, the Company merged with a subsidiary of Holdings, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

                The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for such periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

                Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted consistent with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012.

        2. Accounting Policies

        Use of Estimates

                The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        3. Intangible Assets

                The gross carrying amounts of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of the following:

                On February 20, 2013, the Company entered into an additional credit extension amendment to its senior secured credit facilities providing for a $300.0 million additional term loan tranche, (the "series B term loan") to the Company. The Company used the borrowings under the series B term loan to redeem all of its outstanding 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 on March 22, 2013, to finance Holdings' redemption of all of its senior floating rate notes due 2015 on March 22, 2013 and to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.

                The Company recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 for unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's 75/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015.

                Borrowings under the series B term loan bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.25%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25%. The series B term loan amortizes in equal quarterly

        installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December in aggregate annual amounts equal to $3.0 million. The balance of the series B term loan is payable on February 20, 2016.

                At the time of issuing the series B term loan, the Company had additional term loan tranches outstanding including an $850.0 million term loan tranche issued on June 1, 2011 (the "original term loan") and a $275.0 million incremental term loan tranche issued August 13, 2012 (the "series A term loan"). Both the original term loan and series A term loan tranches were issued at a discount and amortize in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December. The balance of both the original term loan and series A term loan are payable on June 1, 2018.

                On May 28, 2013, the Company issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% senior notes due 2021. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of Select's wholly owned subsidiaries. On May 28, 2013, the Company used the proceeds of the senior notes to pay a portion of the amounts outstanding on the original term loan and the series A term loan, and to pay related fees and expenses. The Company recognized a loss on early retirement of debt of $17.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the repayment of a portion of its term loans and amendment of the existing senior secured credit facility, which included the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

                Interest on the senior notes accrues at the rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2013. The senior notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The senior notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company's direct or indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries other than certain non-guarantor subsidiaries.

                The Company may redeem some or all of the senior notes prior to June 1, 2016 by paying a "make-whole" premium. The Company may redeem some or all of the senior notes on or after June 1, 2016 at specified redemption prices. In addition, prior to June 1, 2016, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the senior notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price of 106.375% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company is obligated to offer to repurchase the senior notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

                The Indenture relating to the senior notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to (i) grant liens on its assets, (ii) make dividend payments, other distributions or other restricted payments, (iii) incur restrictions on the ability of the Company's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (iv) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (v) merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (vi) incur additional indebtedness, (vii) make investments, (viii) sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries, (ix) use the proceeds from sales of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, and (x) enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Indenture requires, among other things, the Company to provide financial and current reports to holders of the senior notes or file such reports electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

        4. Indebtedness (Continued)

                In connection with the issuance of the senior notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement on May 28, 2013 with certain guarantors of the notes named therein and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of itself and the other initial purchasers named therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file an exchange offer registration statement to exchange the senior notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act unless the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or the policy of the SEC. The Company has also agreed to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of notes under certain circumstances. The Company has agreed to file the exchange offer registration statement with the SEC within 150 days of the issue date of the senior notes and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the exchange offer registration statement declared effective within 240 days of the issue date and to complete the exchange offer with respect to the senior notes within 30 days of effectiveness. In addition, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file the shelf registration statement on or prior to the later of (i) 120 days after a filing obligation arises and (ii) 270 days after the issue date, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 210 days after such filing. If the Company fails to satisfy its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the senior notes under certain circumstances.

                On June 3, 2013, the Company amended its existing senior secured credit facilities in order to:

          extend the maturity date on $293.3 million of its $300.0 million revolving credit facility from June 1, 2016 to March 1, 2018;

          convert the remaining original term loan and series A term loan to a series C term loan and lower the interest rate payable on the series C term loan from Adjusted LIBO plus 3.75%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75%, to Adjusted LIBO plus 3.00%, or Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, and amend the provision of the series C term loan from providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.75% to providing that Adjusted LIBO will at no time be less than 1.00%; and

          amend the restrictive covenants governing the senior secured credit facilities in order to allow for unlimited restricted payments so long as there is no event of default under the senior secured credit facilities and the total pro forma ratio of total indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in our senior secured credit facilities) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

        Maturities of Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable

                Maturities of the Company's long-term debt for the period from July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 and the years after 2013 are approximately as follows and are presented net of the discounts on the senior secured credit facility term loans (in thousands):

        5. Fair Value

                Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

                The carrying value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was $1,226.6 million and $916.1 million at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was $1,216.2 million and $907.8 million at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the Company's senior secured credit facility was based on quoted market prices for this debt in the syndicated loan market.

                The carrying value of the Company's 6.375% senior notes was $600.0 million at June 30, 2013. The fair value of the Company's 6.375% senior notes was $570.0 million June 30, 2013. The fair value of this debt was based on quoted market prices.

                The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process of its senior secured credit facility and 6.375% senior notes to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly which includes quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

        6. Segment Information

                The Company's reportable segments consist of (i) specialty hospitals and (ii) outpatient rehabilitation. Other activities include the Company's corporate services and certain other non-consolidating joint ventures and minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. The outpatient rehabilitation reportable segment has two operating segments: outpatient rehabilitation clinics and contract therapy. These operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes as they have common economic characteristics and provide a similar service to a similar patient base. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and other income (expense).

                The following tables summarize selected financial data for the Company's reportable segments.

        7. Commitments and Contingencies

        Litigation

                The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, proceedings and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines and other penalties. The Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to the Company's businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

                To address claims arising out of the operations of the Company's specialty hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance, subject to self-insured retention of $2.0 million per medical incident for professional liability claims and $2.0 million per occurrence for general liability claims. The Company also maintains umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company's other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company's opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

                Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The Company has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in the future.

                On January 8, 2013, a federal magistrate judge unsealed an Amended Complaint in United States of America and the State of Indiana, ex rel. Doe I, Doe II and Doe III v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Specialty Hospital-Evansville, Evansville Physician Investment Corporation, Dr. Richard Sloan and Dr. Jeffrey Selby. The Amended Complaint, which was served on the Company on February 15, 2013, is a civil action filed under seal on September 28, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States and the state of Indiana under the federal False Claims Act and Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act. Although the Amended Complaint identifies the relators by fictitious pseudonyms, on March 28, 2013, the relators filed a Notice identifying themselves as the former CEO at the Company's long term acute care hospital in Evansville, Indiana ("SSH-Evansville") and two former case managers at SSH-Evansville. The named defendants include the Company, SSH-Evansville, and two physicians who have practiced at SSH-Evansville. On March 26, 2013, the defendants, relators and the United States filed a joint motion seeking a stay of the proceedings, in which the United States notified the court that its investigation has not been completed and therefore it is not yet able to decide whether or not to intervene, and on March 29, 2013, the magistrate judge granted the motion and stayed all deadlines in

        7. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

        the case for 90 days. On June 26, 2013, the United States filed a motion seeking to extend such stay of the proceedings for an additional 90 days, and on June 27, 2013, the defendants each filed a notice of consent to the requested stay. On August 12, 2013, the court granted the motion and stayed all deadlines in the case until October 1, 2013.

                The Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants manipulated the length of stay of patients at SSH-Evansville in order to maximize reimbursement under the Medicare prospective payment system applicable to long term acute care hospitals. It also alleges that the defendants manipulated the discharge of patients to other facilities and the timing of readmissions from those facilities in order to enable SSH-Evansville to receive two separate Medicare payments and causing the other facility to submit claims for unnecessary services. The Amended Complaint discusses the federal Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute and implies that the behavior of physicians referring to or providing services at SSH-Evansville was based on their financial interests. The Amended Complaint further alleges that Dr. Selby, a pulmonologist formerly on the medical staff of SSH-Evansville, performed unnecessary bronchoscopies at the hospital with the knowledge of the Company, and that Dr. Sloan, the Chief Medical Officer and an attending physician at SSH-Evansville, falsely coded the diagnoses of Medicare patients in order to increase SSH-Evansville's reimbursement. Moreover, the Amended Complaint alleges that the practices at SSH-Evansville involved corporate policies of the Company used to maximize profit at all Select long term acute care hospitals. The Amended Complaint alleges that, through these acts, the defendants have violated the federal False Claims Act and Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act and are liable for unspecified treble damages and penalties.

                As previously disclosed, beginning in April 2012, the Company and SSH-Evansville have received various subpoenas and demands for documents relating to SSH-Evansville, including a request for information and subpoenas from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and subpoenas from the Office of Attorney General for the State of Indiana, and the Evansville (Indiana) Police Department has executed a search warrant at SSH-Evansville. The Company has produced and will continue to produce documents in response to, and intends to fully cooperate with, these governmental investigations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

        Construction Commitments

                At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding commitments under construction contracts related to new construction, improvements and renovations at the Company's long term acute care properties and inpatient rehabilitation facilities totaling approximately $18.3 million.

        8. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Company's 6.375% Senior Notes

                The Company's 6.375% senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, except for customary limitations, on a senior basis by all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") which is defined as a subsidiary where the Company or a subsidiary of the Company holds all of the outstanding ownership interests. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries did not guarantee the 6.375% senior notes (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").

                The Company conducts a significant portion of its business through its subsidiaries. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors

                The equity method has been used by the Company with respect to investments in subsidiaries. The equity method has been used by Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to investments in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented.

        PART II

        INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

        ITEM 20.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                The Issuer is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchases and redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

                Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expense (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

                Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

                Consistent with Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article V of the bylaws of Select Medical Corporation provides that Select Medical Corporation will indemnify any present or former director or officer of Select Medical Corporation against those expenses which are actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, pending or threatened, in which such person may be involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation.

                In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article Seventh of the certificate of incorporation of Select Medical Corporation provides that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Select Medical Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of Article Seventh of the certificate of incorporation will apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. No repeal or modification of Article Seventh of the certificate of incorporation will adversely affect any right of or protection afforded to a director of Select Medical Corporation existing immediately prior to such repeal or modification.

                    (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

                (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
