Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Boards of Directors (the “Boards”) of Select Medical Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and Select Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Select”), appointed James J. Talalai, 50, as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Holdings and Select. Patricia A. Rice will relinquish her title as Chief Operating Officer of Holdings and Select, but Mrs. Rice will remain as President.

Since February 2007, Mr. Talalai has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Holdings and Select. Mr. Talalai served in various leadership capacities within Select’s Information Services department, including serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Holdings and Select from August 2001 to February 2007. Before joining Holdings and Select in May 1997, Mr. Talalai was Director of Information Technology for Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation from 1995 to 1997.

Mr. Talalai will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and receive a base salary of $500,000 per year. Mr. Talalai will continue to be eligible to participate in Holdings’ Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). In connection with his appointment, Mr. Talalai was awarded 50,000 shares of restricted stock of Holdings under Holdings’ 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). Such shares will vest in full on December 15, 2014.

On December 15, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to the annual base salary for certain named executive officers. The annual base salary for each named executive officer, effective January 1, 2012, is listed below.

 

September 30,

Name of Executive

     2012 Base Salary  

Rocco A. Ortenzio

     $ 950,000   

Robert A. Ortenzio

     $ 995,000   

Patricia A. Rice

     $ 900,000   

David S. Chernow

     $ 740,000   

Martin F. Jackson

     $ 600,000   

Pursuant to the Plan, on December 15, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Boards designated a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary as such executive officer’s “bonus opportunity” if target performance is achieved. For fiscal year 2012, the Compensation Committee established financial performance goals for Holdings based on earnings per share of Holdings’ common stock and return on stockholder equity of Holdings. Amounts actually paid under the Plan will depend upon the extent to which annual performance goals are achieved, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The maximum bonus that any executive officer may earn under the Plan cannot exceed 250% of such executive officer’s base salary in effect at the beginning of the applicable performance period.

The target bonus opportunity (as a percentage of base salary in effect on January 1, 2012) that may be earned if the performance goals are attained (but not exceeded) is set forth for each of the named executive officers in the table below.


September 30,

Name of Executive

     2012 Target Bonus Opportunity  

Rocco A. Ortenzio

       80% of Base Salary   

Robert A. Ortenzio

       100% of Base Salary   

Patricia A. Rice

       80% of Base Salary   

David S. Chernow

       80% of Base Salary   

Martin F. Jackson

       80% of Base Salary   

Bonuses earned for fiscal year 2012 will be paid in cash to those participants who remain employed until the date of payment, following the Compensation Committee’s certification of the extent to which the performance goals were achieved for the fiscal year. A sliding scale will be used for calculating bonus earned (which may be more or less than the target bonus percentage set forth above) for financial performance achieved either above or below the target performance goals, subject to the maximum annual bonus percentage described above.

On December 15, 2011, the Compensation Committee also awarded restricted shares of common stock of Holdings to certain of the named executive officers pursuant to the Equity Plan. Such shares will vest in full on December 15, 2014. Such grant of restricted stock to each named executive officer is listed below.
