1 Plan. Save. Retire. June 2012 What you need to know about upcoming retirement plan changes Dear Physiotherapy Associates 401(k) Plan Participant: By now you ve heard that Physiotherapy Associates is making changes to the Physiotherapy Associates 401(k) Plan starting in August To help you prepare, here is a brief overview of what you can expect, what you need to do, and when changes will happen. What you can expect As part of the transition to T. Rowe Price, your new plan service provider, you have between July 9, 2012, and July 20, 2012, at 4 p.m. eastern time to choose among your plan s do-it-yourself investment options or the pre-assembled T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds. If you do not make an active election by July 20, 2012, at 4 p.m. eastern time, your existing account balance and future contributions will be automatically invested into a preassembled T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund with a target date closest to the year in which you will turn 65. As part of the conversion process, it will be necessary to suspend account activity for a short period of time. This is referred to as a blackout period. During this blackout period from July 25, 2012 through the week of August 20, 2012, you will not be able to make any changes to your account even if the investment options that you are invested in go up or down in price. What you need to do You are not required to take any action regarding your plan account at this time. However, if you are not sure whether you want your account balance and future contributions to transfer to the Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which is called the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund, it may be worthwhile for you to review your options and make a decision before July 20, 2012 (the last day to make an investment change until the conversion is complete). Read on for more information about the Retirement Funds and the other investments offered through your plan. Also, carefully review the time line to see when changes will happen. If you do not want to be invested in a Retirement Fund, contact T. Rowe Price at or by logging in to rps.troweprice.com between July 9, 2012, and July 20, 2012, at 4 p.m. eastern time to choose other options using the new fund lineup. Once the conversion is complete, you will also be able to make investment changes by calling T. Rowe Price at or by logging in to rps.troweprice.com. T. Rowe Price also offers a free mobile website for Android and iphone where you can view account balances and fund prices and receive investment insights. You can access the mobile website at troweprice.mobi using your current T. Rowe Price user name and password. Are pre-assembled T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds right for you? If you re like the estimated 80% of retirement plan investors who do not have the time or desire to select and keep track of their investments, then a T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund may be an appropriate investment. Each Retirement Fund is a mutual fund made up of other mutual funds. That means you get a mix of different investments in large and small companies, both domestic and foreign. Other advantages include: One-step convenience, so you don t need to mix and match them with other options. Professional diversification that may help reduce the impact of the market s ups and downs on your account. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. Stock exposure that can help your retirement account outpace inflation and maintain its buying power. Automatic rebalancing among stocks, bonds, and conservative bonds helps the funds allocations stay on track. Plus, the funds risk/return objectives change over time, slowly reducing their exposure to risk as the target retirement date nears. (over, please)

2 If you do not make an active investment election between July 9, 2012, and July 20, 2012, at 4 p.m. eastern time, here s how your account balance and future contributions will be invested in the Plan s default investment (the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund): Participants born... Will be invested in... In 1988 or after T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund 2055 (TRRNX) T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund 2050 (TRRMX) T.

Rowe Price Retirement Income Fund (TRRIX) The principal value of the Retirement Funds is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate date when investors turn age 65. The funds invest in a broad range of underlying mutual funds that include stocks, bonds, and short-term investments and are subject to the risks of different areas of the market. The funds emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus more on income and principal stability during retirement. The funds maintain a substantial allocation to equities both prior to and after the target date, which can result in greater volatility. Would you prefer to create your own strategy? If you prefer a hands-on approach to investing, you can build your own portfolio by choosing investments from the new investment lineup. This do-it-yourself option is ideal for those who enjoy the process of investing and who are willing to spend time creating and monitoring their portfolios and strategies.

5 Q UALIFIED D EFAULT I NVESTMENT A LTERNATIVE (QDIA) NOTICE FOR THE P HYSIOTHERAPY A SSOCIATES 401(K) PLAN (PLAN) The Physiotherapy Associates 401(k) Plan allows you to invest your account in a number of different investment options. With the change of the 401(k) provider to T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., a new default investment has been designated under the Plan. Starting August 1, 2012, the Plan s default investment is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund with the target date closest to the year in which you turn 65. Your account balance will be moved, and future contributions will be allocated to either a T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund based on your age or into the investment(s) you selected during the July 9, 2012 through July 20, 2012, election period (see the enclosed letter What you need to know about upcoming retirement plan changes ). If you do not make an affirmative election for the investment of the assets in your Plan account, the provisions of Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, will apply. This means that Plan fiduciaries will be relieved from liability for any losses that occur as the result of the automatic investment of your Plan account in the Plan s QDIA. A brief description of the Plan s default investment, including the investment s objectives, risk and return characteristics, fees, and expenses (including any restrictions, fees, or expenses that apply when you transfer assets from the default investment), is included and made a part of this notice.

6 CURRENT DEFAULT INVESTMENT Your plan offers a number of different investment options, including 12 retirement funds (Retirement Funds) managed by T. Rowe Price. If you have not made or do not make an affirmative investment election, the Retirement Fund in which your account is invested is the fund whose stated date is closest to the date you will turn 65. The Retirement Funds invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds that are rebalanced to maintain their asset allocation and progressively become more conservative over time until reaching their final asset allocation 30 years after the stated retirement date. The funds are designed for an investor who plans to retire at or around age 65 and withdraw the value of his or her account in the fund gradually after retirement. RETIREMENT FUND OBJECTIVE: The objective of each Retirement Fund is the highest total return over time consistent with an emphasis on both capital growth and income. This objective is pursued by investing in a diversified portfolio of T. Rowe Price stock and bond funds whose allocation (with the exception of the Income Fund) changes over time. The Income Fund pursues this objective by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting of about 40% stocks and 60% bonds whose allocation is fixed over time. Table 1: The following table shows the default fund that corresponds to your age and details the way in which each fund s portfolio is allocated among the various asset classes. The table also lists the relative risk/reward potential and expense ratio for each fund. If you were born You are defaulted into Your default fund s neutral investment allocation (as of 9/1/2011) is Stocks Bonds Relative Risk/Reward Potential Expense Ratio* (as of 5/31/2011) In 1988 or after Retirement % 10.0% Higher 0.76% Retirement % 10.0% Higher 0.76% Retirement % 10.0% Higher 0.76% Retirement % 10.0% Higher 0.76% Retirement % 11.0% Higher 0.76% Retirement % 16.0% Higher 0.74% Retirement % 22.0% Moderate-Higher 0.72% Retirement % 29.5% Moderate-Higher 0.69% Retirement % 37.5% Moderate-Higher 0.65% Retirement % 47.0% Moderate 0.61% Retirement % 55.5% Moderate 0.58% In 1937 or Retirement Income 40.0% 60.0% Moderate 0.56% before * The expense ratio, expressed as an annualized percentage of total assets, is what participants pay for mutual fund operating expenses and management fees. The expense ratio is disclosed in the prospectus. RISK AND RETURN CHARACTERISTICS: The principal value of the Retirement Funds is not guaranteed at any time, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target date, which is the approximate date when investors turn age 65. The funds emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus more on income and principal stability during retirement. There is no guarantee that the funds will provide adequate income at and through your retirement. The Retirement Funds invest in a broad range of underlying mutual funds that include stocks and bonds and are subject to the risks of different areas of the market. The funds maintain a substantial allocation to stocks both prior to and after the target date, which can result in greater volatility. The more a Retirement Fund allocates to stock funds, the greater the expected risk. For further details on all risks associated with investment in a fund, please refer to the Retirement Funds prospectus. HOW THE FUNDS ASSET ALLOCATIONS CHANGE OVER TIME: Each fund s allocation between T. Rowe Price stock and bond funds will change over time according to a predetermined glide path as illustrated below. (The glide path represents the shifting of asset classes over time and does not apply to the Income Fund.) weighted % Stocks YEARS TO RETIREMENT Bonds YEARS PAST RETIREMENT As the illustration shows, each fund s asset mix becomes more conservative both prior to and after age 65 as time elapses. Once a fund (other than the Income Fund) reaches its most conservative planned allocation approximately 30 years after its stated target retirement date, its allocation to stocks will remain fixed at approximately 20% of assets. The remainder will be invested 80% in bonds. The target allocations for bonds are not expected to vary from the glide-path formula by more than plus or minus five percentage points. In the case of stocks, asset allocation is not expected to vary by more than plus or minus five percentage points for U.S. stocks and international stocks, respectively. FEES AND EXPENSES: Table 2: As shown in the following table, there are no fees or charges to buy or sell fund shares, reinvest dividends, or exchange into other investment options. While the Retirement Funds themselves impose no fees or charges, they will indirectly bear their pro-rata share of the expenses of the underlying T. Rowe Price stock and bond funds they hold. Expense Ratios See Table 1 Redemption Fees 12b-1 Fees 0.0% Front-End Load 0.0% Back-End Load 0.0% Transaction Fees No For details showing the expenses each fund will bear based on the expected allocation to, and the expected average expense ratio of, the underlying funds in future years, please refer to the Retirement Funds prospectus. Call to request a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing. You can obtain additional information about the fund, including its glide path, on the T. Rowe Price website at rps.troweprice.com. T.

7 I MPORTANT N OTICE A BOUT Y OUR R IGHTS U NDER THE P HYSIOTHERAPY A SSOCIATES 401(K) PLAN. June 2012 Please note that the Physiotherapy Associates 401(k) Plan will be changing the 401(k) provider. As a result of these changes, you will be temporarily unable to direct or diversify investments in your individual accounts, obtain a loan from the Plan, or obtain a withdrawal or distribution from the Plan. During this time, called a blackout period, you will be unable to exercise certain rights available under the Plan. Regardless of when you are planning to retire, we encourage you to carefully consider how this blackout period may affect your retirement planning and your overall finances.* The blackout period for the Plan is expected to begin on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, at 4 p.m. eastern time, and end during the week of August 20, For specific information about the status of the blackout period or how it may affect you, please call T. Rowe Price at During the blackout period, you will be unable to direct or diversify the assets held in your Plan account. So it is very important that you review and consider the appropriateness of your current investments before the blackout period starts. For your long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the importance of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio, taking into account all of your assets, income, and investments. You should be aware that there is a risk to holding substantial portions of your assets in the securities of any one company, as individual securities tend to have wider price swings (up and down, over short periods of time) than investments in diversified funds. Stocks that have wide price swings might have a large loss during the blackout period, and you would not be able to direct the sale of such stocks from your account during the blackout period. If you have any questions concerning this notice, contact: Angela McClure Vice President, Human Resources Physiotherapy Associates 855 Springdale Drive, Suite 200 Exton, Pennsylvania angela.mcclure@physiocorp.com * During the blackout period, your retirement assets will transfer to T. Rowe Price on August 01, 2012 and be invested in your conversion investment election until the end of the blackout period. Once the blackout period has expired, you will have full access to your account
