Select Medical Corporation Launches Tender Offer
and Consent Solicitation for 7⁵/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015

MECHANICSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA — April 25, 2011 — Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) (NYSE: SEM), today announced that Select Medical Corporation (“Select”) has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation,” and together with the Tender Offer, the “Offer”) for any and all of its $611,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 7⁵/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (CUSIP No. 816196AJ8) (the “Notes”). The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 25, 2011 (the “Offer to Purchase”). The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, May 20, 2011 unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being conducted in connection with Select’s negotiation of a new senior credit facility which it expects to enter into. A portion of the proceeds from the new senior credit facility are expected to fund the purchase of any tendered Notes that are accepted for repurchase.

Holders who validly tender their Notes and provide their consents to the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes prior to the consent payment deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, May 6, 2011, unless extended (the “Early Tender Deadline”), shall receive the total consideration equal to $1,027.92 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which includes a consent payment of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the payment date for such Notes. The Offer contemplates an early settlement option, so that holders whose Notes are validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase could receive payment as early as May 6, 2011, though Select currently expects to make payment on or around May 23, 2011.

Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Date shall receive the tender offer consideration equal to $1,025.42 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the payment date for such Notes. Holders of Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will not receive a consent payment.

Following receipt of the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, Select will execute a supplemental indenture effecting the proposed amendments. Except in certain circumstances, Notes tendered and consents delivered may not be withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline, except as required by law.

The Offer is subject to a number of conditions that are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, without limitation, (i) the receipt of the required consents to amend and supplement the indenture governing the Notes in connection with the Consent Solicitation and the execution of a supplemental indenture effecting such amendments by the applicable parties, and (ii) Select’s entry into a new senior credit facility or other debt financing on terms reasonably satisfactory to Select and resulting in the issuance of indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1.5 billion, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. There can be no assurances that Select will enter into a new senior credit facility or that the proceeds therefrom, when combined with Select’s other available funds, will be sufficient to pay the total consideration in connection with the Offer.

The Company has engaged J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. as Dealer Managers and Solicitation Agents for the Offer. Persons with questions regarding the Offer should contact J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at (800) 245-8812 (toll free) or (212) 270-3994 (collect) or Goldman, Sachs & Co. at (800) 828-3182 (toll free) or (212) 902-5128 (collect).

King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent, at (212) 269-5550 (bank and brokers) or at (800) 628-8510 (toll free).

This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase the Notes or a solicitation of consents to amend the related indenture. The Offer is made solely pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The tender offer is not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
