CONCENTRA ANNOUNCES PROPOSED

OFFERING OF DEBT SECURITIES

ADDISON, Texas, May 10, 2004 – Concentra Operating Corporation (“Concentra” or “the Company”) today announced that it is considering the commencement of a Rule 144A offering of $150 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes due 2012 and an amendment of its existing credit facility to incur an additional $70 million in term loans. Subject to acceptable market and interest rate conditions, the Company anticipates completing this offering and amendment during the current quarter.

The senior subordinated notes would be general unsecured obligations of the Company and would be subordinated to all existing and future senior debt of the Company and pari passu with the Company’s existing 9 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 and remaining 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009. The additional term loans would bear the same covenants and maturity dates as established in the Company’s existing Senior Credit Agreement.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering and additional borrowings under the amended Senior Credit Agreement, together with approximately $48 million of cash on hand, to fund its concurrently announced tender offer for all of its outstanding 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 and to pay a dividend of approximately $97 million to Concentra Inc., its parent corporation, to enable Concentra Inc. to pay a dividend to its stockholders. The Company also stated that it will likely expense approximately $15 million in debt termination costs and up to $3 million in equity instrument adjustments and other compensatory costs incurred in connection with the transactions.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein. The securities to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Concentra, headquartered in Addison, Texas, the successor to and a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Inc., provides services designed to contain healthcare and disability costs and serves the occupational, auto and group healthcare markets.
