<br />Select Medical WorkStrategies P a g e | 2 <br />Introduction to Select Medical <br /> <br />Co-founded by Rocco A. Ortenzio and Robert A. Ortenzio in 1996, Select Medical began as a regional <br />provider of outpatient physical rehabilitation. Contract therapy was added to the company's specialized <br />health care offerings in 1997, and was quickly followed by the introduction of long-term acute care in 1998. <br />In 1999, Select Medical made one of its largest acquisitions by purchasing NovaCare Physical Rehabilitation <br />and Occupational Health. <br /> <br />In three years, Select Medical had gone from a small start-up into a diversified health care company with a <br />national presence. This strategically progressive yet responsible growth was one attribute that led to the <br />company's recognition as one of the “Best Managed Companies in America” by Forbes. <br /> <br />In April 2001, the company completed an initial public offering and was listed on NASDAQ. Fourteen <br />months later, Select Medical was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, where it is currently traded under <br />the NYSE ticker symbol SEM. In 2004, the company experienced clinical and operational growth when it <br />acquired the world-renowned Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, thus formally adding inpatient medical <br />rehabilitation to its patient care offerings. This care line continues to grow through joint ventures and <br />partnerships with some of the most well-respected names in medicine. <br /> <br />More than 20 years later, the Select Medical of today encompasses four areas of expertise: critical illness <br />recovery, inpatient medical rehabilitation, outpatient physical therapy and occupational medicine, all of <br />which are delivered and supported by more than 46,000 talented health care professionals across the U.S. <br /> <br />Despite its record growth, Select Medical remains true to its founding principles of clinical quality and <br />operational excellence, which have been a top priority since day one. Regardless of the hospital, center or <br />clinic size or scope, Select Medical is devoted to helping others and achieving outcomes that improve <br />quality of life. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: FFA73DD9-C106-407B-89D5-4182E5B591FE
