The special meeting has the sole purpose to vote on a proposal to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the company from "Hillenbrand Industries, Inc.," to "Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc." in conjunction with the previously announced proposed separation. In the plan, the current Batesville Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the current Hillenbrand Industries, Inc., would then change its name to become "Hillenbrand, Inc." and would continue to be the parent company of Batesville Casket Company following successful completion of the separation.
