- Select Medical's common stock "regular way" market (NYSE: SEM): Shares of Select Medical's common stock that trade in the "regular way" market will trade with "due bills," which are entitlements to shares of Concentra's common stock to be distributed in the Distribution. Any holders of shares of Select Medical's common stock who sell Select Medical's shares outstanding as of the Record Date the "regular way" on or prior to the Distribution Date will also be selling their right to receive the shares of Concentra's common stock that were to be distributed to them in respect of those shares of Select Medical's common stock.
- Concentra's common stock "regular way" market (NYSE: CON): The "regular way" market is the same market for Concentra's common stock that has been in existence since Concentra completed its initial public offering of its common stock in July 2024.
Beginning on November 20, 2024, the date which is three (3) trading days prior to the Distribution Date, and continuing through the close of trading on the Distribution Date, the following markets will exist in shares of Select Medical's and Concentra's common stock, in addition to Select Medical's common stock "regular way" market:
