Item 2.02      Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 7, 2013, Select Medical Holdings Corporation issued a press release announcing its estimated financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 in connection with a proposed incremental extension of credit under its senior secured credit facility.

Item 8.01      Other Events

The Company recently became aware that 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 has not been served on the Company, 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.
