Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am Helen Cornell, Chairperson of the Hillenbrand Inc Board of Directors. I am pleased to welcome all of you to this special meeting of shareholders of Hillenbrand Inc. The purpose of this special meeting is to consider and act on matters relating to the proposed acquisition of Hillenbrand by an affiliate of Lone Star Funds. It is now 10:00 A.M. In line with the notice of meeting, I call this meeting to order. The agenda and rules of conduct for this meeting are available through the links on the special meeting website. We will conduct this meeting in accordance with the agenda and the rules of conduct. The call of this meeting to order was item one on the agenda. We are currently on agenda item two. You will note that under item six on the agenda, an opportunity is provided for questions relevant to the business of the meeting. Validated shareholders and their duly authorized proxies may ask questions relevant to the business of the meeting by typing questions into the designated field on the special meeting website. Questions not relating to the business of the meeting, such as company strategy and performance questions, or any questions of a personal nature, may be directed to Hillenbrand's Investor Relations Department after the meeting by email or telephone. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. Though we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to provide a response to as many as possible. We will address appropriate unanswered questions by following up after the meeting with the shareholder asking the question. Any statements at this meeting about Hillenbrand's expectations, plans, and prospects constitute forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by us at this meeting reflect management's views only as of today's date, January 8th, 2026, and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are described in the sections captioned Risk Factors in Hillenbrand's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30th, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 19th, 2025, as supplemented by the company's filings thereafter with the SEC. Now we turn to agenda item three. Before proceeding to the business of the meeting, I'd like to make some introductions. First, I would like to introduce the members of the Board of Directors who are in attendance today by remote communication: Gary Collar, Joy Greenway, Dan Hillenbrand, Joe Lower, Neil Novich, Dennis Pullin, Jennifer Rumsey, Inderpreet Sawhney, Stuart Taylor, and Kim Ryan. Next, I would like to introduce our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary Nick Farrell. Mr. Farrell will take up agenda item four, reporting on the mailing of the notice of this special meeting in the presence of a quorum. Thank you, Madam Chairperson. The Board of Directors established the close of business on November 28th, 2025, as the record date for determining which of our shareholders were entitled to notice of and to vote at this meeting. An official list of shareholders as of the record date is available for inspection during the course of the meeting by any shareholder through the link on the special meeting website. Notice of this meeting was mailed on or about December 1st, 2025, to each shareholder as of the record date. A copy of the affidavit of distribution from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc, and all other documents concerning this special meeting will be filed with the records of the meeting. Hillenbrand's management has designated Gregory Malatia as Inspector of Election at this meeting. Our tabulations indicate that there were a total of 70,508,655 shares of Hillenbrand Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the record date. I have been advised by the Inspector that, on the basis of a preliminary count taken before this meeting, there are present in person, by remote communication, or by proxy, holders of at least 58,927,708 shares, or 83.57% of Hillenbrand's Common Stock entitled to vote at this meeting. Such holders thus holding a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at this meeting constitute a quorum for the purpose of conducting business at this meeting. These figures are based on a preliminary count taken before this meeting. The official minutes of this meeting will reflect actual share numbers and votes. Shareholders who are entitled to vote and have not yet done so can vote during the meeting by clicking on the voting button on the special meeting website and following the company instructions on the website. Thank you, Nick. I hereby declare a quorum present. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the company, I would like to express my appreciation to all shareholders who returned their proxies. We now turn to item five on the agenda, the items of business. There are three items of business on the agenda for today's meeting. All of these items of business were described in the proxy statement. As Nick indicated, shareholders can vote during the meeting on the special meeting website. The polls are now open for voting. However, we urge shareholders who have already voted by proxy to allow their proxies to remain in effect. The first matter to be acted upon by shareholders at this meeting is a proposal to approve the agreement and plan of merger dated as of October 14th, 2025, by and among Hillenbrand, LSF12 Helix Parent LLC, and LSF12 Helix Merger Sub, Inc. We refer to this proposal as the merger agreement proposal and to the agreement and plan of merger as the merger agreement. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for the merger agreement proposal. The second matter to be acted upon by shareholders at this meeting is a proposal to approve on an advisory or non-binding basis the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Hillenbrand's named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. We refer to this proposal as the compensation proposal. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for the compensation proposal. The third matter to be acted upon by shareholders at this meeting is a proposal to approve any adjournment of this meeting if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at this meeting to approve the merger agreement proposal. We refer to this proposal as the adjournment proposal. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for the adjournment proposal. Returning to item six on the agenda, before proceeding with voting, we will address questions relating to the items of business. You may submit a question by typing it into the designated field on the meeting website. Mr. Farrell will read the questions out loud, and we will respond. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. We will try to answer as many questions as time allows, but only questions that are germane to the items of business at this meeting will be addressed. If you submit an appropriate question that we aren't able to address during the question-and-answer session, we will do our best to follow up with you afterward. Mr. Farrell, are there any questions to be addressed? There are no questions at this time. Thank you. We will now continue with the voting on items of business as we proceed to agenda item seven. The polls continue to be open for voting. Any shareholder who has not yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the special meeting website and following the company instructions on the website. Shareholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet or do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. I will briefly pause to allow for shareholder voting. Now that shareholders have had the opportunity to vote, we'll wrap up the voting. The polls are now closed. We will now proceed to agenda item eight to address the results of voting on the items of business at today's meeting. I will now share with you the preliminary voting results based on the preliminary tabulation of votes by the Inspector of Election, which reflects a preliminary count taken earlier this morning. The Merger Agreement Proposal has been approved. The Compensation Proposal has been approved. The Adjournment Proposal has been approved. These voting results are preliminary. The final result voting on each of the matters of business at today's meeting will be included in the final report of the Inspector of Election to be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The final votes will be also reported in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed by Hillenbrand with the SEC. There being no further business to come before this meeting, this meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for attending today. The meeting has now concluded. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
