As disclosed by the Company in the 8-K filed with the SEC on July 16, 2019:

On July 12, 2019, Milacron Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Company), Hillenbrand, Inc., an Indiana corporation (Parent), and Bengal Delaware Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Subsidiary), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the time the Merger becomes effective (the Effective Time), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (Company Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock (i) held by the Company as treasury stock, (ii) owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) held by any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time or (iv) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who has not voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law), will be converted into the right to receive (x) $11.80 in cash, without interest (the Cash Consideration) and (y) 0.1612 shares of common stock, no par value, of Parent (Parent Stock) (the Stock Consideration and, together with the Cash Consideration, the Merger Consideration).

At the Effective Time, each then-outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Stock (an Option) that was granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement with a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration Value (as described below), whether or not exercisable or vested, will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares, dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement) in respect of each net share subject to such Option. With respect to each Option, a net share is the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of (i) the number of shares subject to such Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess of the Merger Consideration Value over the per share exercise price of such Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Merger Consideration Value. Each then-outstanding Option with a per share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration Value, whether or not exercisable or vested, will be cancelled for no consideration. For purposes of the Merger Agreement, Merger Consideration Value means the sum of (x) the Cash Consideration and (y) the product obtained by multiplying the Stock Consideration by the volume weighted average trading price of Parent Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported by Bloomberg, for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding (and for the avoidance of doubt, not including) the

date on which the Effective Time occurs (such volume weighed average price of Parent Stock over such period, the Parent Stock Price).

(d) No other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares that are beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer
