Highlight of Business Operations:

At December 31, 2010, RehabCare operated 29 LTAC hospitals, five inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and provided rehabilitation therapy services in 116 acute care hospitals and 1,112 skilled nursing facilities in 42 states. RehabCare reported consolidated revenues of approximately $1.3 billion and net income from continuing operations of approximately $65 million in fiscal 2010.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights and provides that (i) upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including a change in the recommendation of the board of directors of RehabCare or termination of the Merger Agreement to enter into a written definitive agreement for a superior proposal, RehabCare must pay us a termination fee of $26 million and (ii) upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including a change in the recommendation of our board of directors or our failure to complete the financing discussed below, after all other closing conditions have been met, we must pay RehabCare a cash termination fee of $62 million.

In June 2009, we purchased for resale six under-performing nursing and rehabilitation centers (the Nursing Centers) previously leased from Ventas for $55.7 million. In addition, we paid Ventas a lease termination fee of $2.3 million. The Nursing Centers were included in our Master Lease Agreements (as defined below under Master Lease Agreements) with Ventas and we do not have the ability to terminate a lease of an individual facility under the Master Lease Agreements. The aggregate annual rent for the Nursing Centers was approximately $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Nursing Centers, which contained 777 licensed beds, generated pretax losses of $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $2.5 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded a pretax gain of $2.1 million ($1.3 million net of income taxes) during 2010 and a pretax loss of $39.5 million ($24.3 million net of income taxes) during 2009 related to these divestitures. We disposed of the Nursing Centers during 2009 and 2010 for $27.2 million.

In September 2008, we purchased for resale a LTAC hospital for $22.3 million that was previously leased. We recorded a pretax loss of $36.9 million ($22.7 million net of income taxes) in 2008 resulting from the losses related to the purchase, closure and planned divestiture of the hospital, including the impairment of a certificate of need intangible asset ($15.2 million), the impairment of property and equipment ($17.3 million) and other costs ($4.4 million). In addition, we recorded a pretax loss of $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of income taxes) in 2010 resulting from a reduction to the fair market value of the property.

In September 2008, we also announced our intention to dispose of another LTAC hospital and its related operations. We recorded a pretax loss of $7.4 million ($4.6 million net of income taxes) during 2008 related to the impairment of the hospitals building and equipment. In addition, we recorded a pretax loss of $0.5 million ($0.3 million net of income taxes) in 2010 resulting from a reduction to the fair market value of the property.

These two hospitals generated pretax losses of $1.5 million in 2010, $3.3 million in 2009 and $8.0 million in 2008.
