Hillenbrand, Inc. Form 8-K Filing

This Form 8-K filing by Hillenbrand, Inc. details supplemental disclosures made in connection with a previously reported merger agreement with LSF12 Helix Parent, LLC. Two lawsuits have been filed by purported shareholders alleging that the definitive proxy statement contains false and misleading information or omits material information. Hillenbrand disputes these claims but is providing supplemental disclosures to avoid litigation delays and costs. The filing amends specific sections of the proxy statement concerning the background of the merger, financial advisor analyses (discounted cash flow, selected public company trading, selected transactions, and future share price), and certain financial projections. These supplemental disclosures are intended to address the shareholders' allegations without admitting any wrongdoing. The company believes the claims are without merit but is making these disclosures to moot the claims and proceed with the merger.
