CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Throughout this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, we make a number of "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and any sections entitled "Business," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" contained in documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. As the words imply, these are statements about future plans, objectives, beliefs, and expectations that might or might not happen in the future, as contrasted with historical information. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but by their very nature are subject to a wide range of risks. If our assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks and uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from Hillenbrand's expectations and projections. Words that could indicate we are making forward-looking statements include:

intend	believe	plan	expect	may	goal	would
become	pursue	estimate	will	forecast	continue	could
target	encourage	promise	improve	progress	potential	should

        This is not an exhaustive list, but is intended to give you an idea of how we try to identify forward-looking statements. The absence of any of these words, however, does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

        Here is the key point: Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements.

        Any number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause our performance to differ significantly from what is described in the forward-looking statements. This includes the impact of the Tax Act on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Hillenbrand was incorporated on November 1, 2007, in the state of Indiana and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HI" on April 1, 2008. "Hillenbrand," "the Company," "we," "us," "our," and similar words refer to Hillenbrand, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless context otherwise requires.

        Although Hillenbrand has been a public company for a little more than ten years, the businesses owned by Hillenbrand have been in operation for many decades.

Our telephone number is (812) 934-7500, and our website is www.Hillenbrand.com. Any references in this prospectus to our website are inactive textual references only, and the information contained on or that can be accessed through our website (except for the SEC filings expressly incorporated by reference herein) is not incorporated in, and is not a part of, this prospectus, and any such information should not be relied upon in connection with any investment decision to purchase any securities.

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully review the risk factors contained in our filings under the Exchange Act (including those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q), each of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, the information contained under the heading "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus or under any similar heading in any applicable prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference. The risks and uncertainties described in our SEC filings are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not currently known or considered immaterial by us at this time and thus not listed could also result in adverse effects on our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any such risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, the market price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. See "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

        This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants that we may offer and sell from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The particular terms of any security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES

        References to "Hillenbrand," "us," "we" or "our" in this section mean Hillenbrand, Inc., and do not include the consolidated subsidiaries of Hillenbrand, Inc. In this section, references to "holders" mean those who own debt securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the applicable trustee maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in debt securities registered in street name or in debt securities issued in book-entry form through one or more depositaries.

        We may offer secured or unsecured debt securities, which may be convertible. Our debt securities and any related guarantees will be issued under an indenture, dated July 9, 2010, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The debt securities will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the debt securities, and the claims of creditors of those subsidiaries, including trade creditors, will have priority as to the assets and cash flows of those subsidiaries.

        We have summarized certain general features of the debt securities from the indenture. A copy of the indenture is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following description of the terms of the debt securities and the guarantees sets forth certain general terms and provisions. The particular terms of the debt securities and guarantees offered by any prospectus supplement (including which indenture such securities will be governed by) and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the debt securities and guarantees will be described in the related prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the related prospectus supplement and to the following description.

General

        The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under the indenture is unlimited. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series as may be authorized from time to time.

        Reference is made to the applicable prospectus supplement for the following terms of the debt securities (if applicable):

•

the title and aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

•

whether the debt securities will be secured or unsecured;

•

the specific indenture under which the debt securities will be issued;

whether a temporary security is to be issued with respect to such series and whether any interest payable prior to the issuance of definitive securities of the series will be credited to the account of the persons entitled thereto;

•

the terms upon which beneficial interests in a temporary global security may be exchanged in whole or in part for beneficial interests in a definitive global security or for individual definitive securities;

•

any covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

•

any defaults and events of default applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

•

the guarantors of each series, if any, and the extent of the guarantees (including provisions relating to seniority, subordination, security and release of the guarantees), if any;

•

any restriction or condition on the transferability of the debt securities;

•

the currency, currencies or currency units in which the purchase price for, the principal of and any premium and any interest on, such debt securities will be payable;

•

the time period within which, the manner in which and the terms and conditions upon which the purchaser of the debt securities can select the payment currency;

•

the securities exchange(s) on which the securities will be listed, if any;

•

whether any underwriter(s) will act as market maker(s) for the securities;

•

the extent to which a secondary market for the securities is expected to develop;

•

our obligation or right to redeem, purchase or repay debt securities under a sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision;

•

provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance;

•

provisions relating to satisfaction and discharge of the indenture;

•

provisions relating to the modification of the indenture both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under the indenture; and

•

additional terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture.

        One or more series of debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. One or more series of debt securities may be variable rate debt securities that may be exchanged for fixed rate debt securities.

        United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        Debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the

10

methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional United States federal income tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        The term "debt securities" includes debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars or, if specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any other freely transferable currency or units based on or relating to foreign currencies.

        We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the applicable indenture and in the applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the applicable trustee maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the principal corporate trust office of the applicable trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Guarantees

        Any debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more of our direct or indirect subsidiaries. Each prospectus supplement will describe any guarantees for the benefit of the series of debt securities to which it relates, including required financial information of the subsidiary guarantors, as applicable.

Global Securities

        The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the "depositary") identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Governing Law

        The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law.

The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which are filed as exhibits incorporated by reference to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the relevant provisions of Indiana law.

General

        Our authorized capital structure consists of:

•

199,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and

•

1,000,000 shares of preferred stock

        As of July 25, 2019, there were 62,667,094 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting

        The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors, and do not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Dividends

        Subject to the rights and preferences of the holders of any series of preferred stock which may at the time be outstanding, holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally such dividends as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available.

Liquidation Rights

        The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive our net assets upon dissolution except as may otherwise be provided in an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation setting out the terms for a series of preferred stock.

Other matters

        Holders of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock.

        Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HI."

        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Preferred Stock

        We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, subscription rights

12

and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of a series. All shares of preferred stock of the same series must be identical with each other in all respects.

        When we issue preferred stock, we will provide specific information about the particular class or series being offered in a prospectus supplement. This information will include some or all of the following:

•

the serial designation and the number of shares in that series;

•

the dividend rate or rates, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from what date, the payment date or dates for dividends, and any participating or other special rights with respect to dividends;

•

any voting powers of the shares;

•

whether the shares will be redeemable and, if so, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions on which the shares may be redeemed;

•

the amount or amounts payable upon the shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us prior to any payment or distribution of our assets to any class or classes of our stock ranking junior to the preferred stock;

•

whether the shares will be entitled to the benefit of a sinking or retirement fund and, if so entitled, the amount of the fund and the manner of its application, including the price or prices at which the shares may be redeemed or purchased through the application of the fund;

•

whether the shares will be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or of any other series of the same or any other class of our stock or the stock of another issuer, and if so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or prices, or the rates of exchange, and any adjustments to the conversion price or rates of exchange at which the conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of the conversion or exchange; and

•

any other preferences, privileges and powers, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions, as our board of directors may deem advisable and as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation.

        Depending on the rights prescribed for a series of preferred stock, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse effect on the voting power of the holders of common stock and could adversely affect holders of common stock by delaying or preventing a change in control of us, making removal of our present management more difficult or imposing restrictions upon the payment of dividends and other distributions to the holders of common stock.

        The preferred stock, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise, the preferred stock will have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities which may be issued by us in the future. The transfer agent and registrar for the preferred stock will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Certain Anti-Takeover Matters

        Certain provisions of our organizational documents, as well as certain provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL"), may have the effect of encouraging persons considering

13

unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include:

Classified Board of Directors

        Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws provide for our board of directors to be composed of not fewer than seven directors and to be divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered terms. Our By-Laws also provide that our board of directors shall not consist of more than thirteen directors. Approximately one-third of our board will be elected each year. Under our Articles of Incorporation, our directors can be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The provisions for our classified board and certain other board of director matters may be amended, altered or repealed only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

        Under Chapter 23 of the IBCL, a corporation with a class of voting shares registered with the SEC under Section 12 of the Exchange Act must have a classified board unless the corporation adopted a by-law expressly electing not to be governed by this provision by the later of July 31, 2009 or 30 days after the corporation's voting shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. We adopted a by-law electing not to be subject to this mandatory requirement on July 15, 2009.

        The provision for a classified board in our Articles of Incorporation could prevent a party that acquires control of a majority of the outstanding voting stock from obtaining control of our board until the second annual shareholders' meeting following the date the acquiror obtains the controlling stock interest. The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer for our shares or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us and could increase the likelihood that our incumbent directors will retain their positions.

        We believe that a classified board helps to assure the continuity and stability of our board and our business strategies and policies as determined by our board, because a majority of the directors at any given time will have prior experience on our board. The classified board provision also helps to ensure that our board, if confronted with an unsolicited proposal from a third party that has acquired a block of our voting stock, will have sufficient time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives and to seek the best available result for all shareholders.

        After the initial term of each class, our directors will serve three-year terms. At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring.

        Our Articles of Incorporation further provide that vacancies or newly created directorships in our board may only be filled by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and any director so chosen will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

        At any annual or special meeting of directors, our By-Laws require the presence of a majority of the duly elected and qualified members then occupying office as a quorum. Our Articles of Incorporation provide for a quorum of one-third of such members unless the By-Laws otherwise specify (which they do).

Removal of Directors Only for Cause; Filling Vacancies

        Our organizational documents provide that, subject to the right of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, any director may be removed from office, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 2/3 of the combined voting power of all of the shares

14

of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Our organizational documents also provide that, subject to the right of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy on the board shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders and until such director's successor is duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

        The director removal and vacancy provisions restrict the ability of a third party to remove incumbent directors and simultaneously gain control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by removal with its own nominees.

Shareholder Proposals

        At any meeting of shareholders, only business that is properly brought before the meeting will be conducted. To be properly brought before a meeting of shareholders, business must be specified in the notice of the meeting, brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, our chairman of the board or our chief executive officer or properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder.

        For business to be properly brought before any meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our secretary at our principal place of business. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by our secretary not later than 100 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting which was specified in the initial formal notice of such meeting (but if the date of the forthcoming annual meeting is more than 30 days after such anniversary date, such written notice will also be timely if received by our secretary by the later of 100 days prior to the forthcoming meeting date and the close of business 10 days following the date on which we first make public disclosure of the meeting date).

        A shareholder's notice must set forth, as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting:

•

a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting;

•

the name and address of the shareholder proposing such business;

•

the class and number of shares that are owned beneficially by the shareholder proposing such business;

•

any interest of the shareholder in such business;

•

a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the shareholder's notice by, or on behalf of, the Shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of the shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates with respect to common stock; and

•

an undertaking by the shareholder to notify the corporation in writing of any change in the information called for the preceding three bullets as of the record date for such meeting, by notice received by the secretary of the corporation not later than the 10th day following such record date, and thereafter by notice so given and received within two business days of any

15

change in such information, and, in any event, as of the close of business of the day preceding the meeting date.

Shareholder Nomination of Candidates for Elections to Our Board

        Our By-Laws provide that nominations of persons for election to our board of directors may be made at any meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the board of directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of members of the board of directors at the meeting. For nominations to be made by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our secretary at our principal place of business and any nominee must satisfy the qualifications established by the board of directors from time to time as contained in the proxy statement for our immediately preceding annual meeting or posted on our website. To be timely, a shareholder's nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received by the secretary not later than (i) in the case of the annual meeting, 100 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting which was specified in the initial formal notice of such meeting (but if the date of the forthcoming annual meeting is more than 30 days after such anniversary date, such written notice will also be timely if received by the secretary by the later of 100 days prior to the forthcoming meeting date and the close of business 10 days following the date on which we first make public disclosure of the meeting date) and (ii) in the case of a special meeting, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which we first make public disclosure of the meeting date.

        The notice given by a shareholder must set forth:

•

the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated;

•

a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record, setting forth the shares so held, and intends to appear in person or by proxy as a holder of record at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice;

•

a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the shareholder's notice by, or on behalf of, the shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of the shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates with respect to common stock;

•

a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and each nominee proposed by the shareholder and any other person or persons (identifying such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholders;

•

such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC;

•

the consent in writing of each nominee to serve as a director if so elected;

•

a description of the qualifications of such nominee to serve as a director; and

•

an undertaking by the shareholder to notify the corporation in writing of any change in the information called for by the second, third and fourth bullets above as of the record date for such meeting, by notice received by the secretary of the corporation not later than the 10th day following such record date, and thereafter by notice so given and received within two business days of any change in such information, and, in any event, as of the close of business of the day preceding the meeting date.

Shareholder Action; Special Meetings of Shareholders

        Our Articles of Incorporation provide that shareholder action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by all the holders of our issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote thereon. Our By-Laws provide that special meetings of the shareholders can only be called by our board of directors, our president or shareholders holding not less than one-fourth of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Restrictions on Certain Related Party Business Combination Transactions

        Under our Articles of Incorporation, any contract or other transaction between us and (i) any of our directors or (ii) any legal entity (A) in which any of our directors has a material financial interest or is a general partner or (B) of which any of our directors is a director, officer or trustee of such other legal entity (collectively, a "Conflict Transaction") is only valid if (1) the material facts of such Conflict Transaction and our director's interest in such were disclosed to or known by our board of directors, any of our committees with authority to act on the Conflict Transaction, or our shareholders entitled to vote on such Conflict Transaction and (2) the Conflict Transaction was properly authorized, approved or ratified by, as applicable:

•

Our board of directors or authorized committee, if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who have no interest in the Conflict Transaction; provided, however, that the vote not be of a single director; and

•

Our shareholders, if it receives the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to be counted, in which shares owned or voted under the contract of any director who or legal entity that has an interest in the Conflict Transaction may be counted.

Amendment of Articles and Bylaws

        Except as otherwise expressly provided in our Articles of Incorporation, any proposal to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of our Articles of Incorporation, except as may be provided in the terms of any preferred stock, requires approval by our board of directors and our shareholders. In general, such a proposal would be approved by our shareholders if the votes cast favoring the proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

        Our By-Laws may be amended, altered or repealed only by our board of directors by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who would constitute a full board at the time of such action. On August 21, 2019, our board of directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation to also permit our shareholders to amend the By-Laws. The amendment and restatement is subject to shareholder approval and, if approved, will provide that our shareholders may amend the By-Laws by the affirmative vote, at a meeting, of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the outstanding shares of all classes of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered as a single voting group. Our board of directors has directed that the amendment and restatement be submitted for approval by our shareholders at the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders.

Indiana Business Corporations Law

        As an Indiana corporation, we are governed by the IBCL. Under specified circumstances, the following provisions of the IBCL may delay, prevent or make more difficult unsolicited acquisitions or changes of control of us. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interest.

17

        Control share acquisitions.    Although Chapter 42 of the IBCL contains certain restrictions on control share acquisitions, our By-Laws provide that Chapter 42 of the IBCL shall not apply to control share acquisitions of shares of our capital stock.

        Certain business combinations.    Chapter 43 of the IBCL restricts the ability of a "resident domestic corporation" to engage in any combinations with an "interested shareholder" for five years after the date the interested shareholder became such, unless the combination or the purchase of shares by the interested shareholder on the interested shareholder's date of acquiring shares is approved by the board of directors of the resident domestic corporation before that date. If the combination was not previously approved, the interested shareholder may effect a combination after the five-year period only if that shareholder receives approval from a majority of the disinterested shares or the offer meets specified fair price criteria. For purposes of the above provisions, "resident domestic corporation" means an Indiana corporation that has 100 or more shareholders. "Interested shareholder" means any person, other than the resident domestic corporation or its subsidiaries, who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the resident domestic corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation, which at any time within the five-year period immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation. Although under certain circumstances a corporation may opt out of Chapter 43 of the IBCL, our Articles of Incorporation do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed by Chapter 43 of the IBCL.

        Directors' duties and liability.    Under Chapter 35 of the IBCL, directors are required to discharge their duties:

•

in good faith;

•

with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and

•

in a manner the directors reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation.

        However, the IBCL also provides that a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to act, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty, including alleged breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty and the duty of good faith, unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director's office in accordance with the foregoing standard and such action or failure to act constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. The exculpation from liability under the IBCL does not affect the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws.

        Consideration of effects on other constituents.    Chapter 35 of the IBCL also provides that a board of directors, in discharging its duties, may consider, in its discretion, both the long-term and short-term best interests of the corporation, taking into account, and weighing as the directors deem appropriate, the effects of an action on the corporation's shareholders, employees, suppliers and customers and the communities in which offices or other facilities of the corporation are located and any other factors the directors consider pertinent. Directors are not required to consider the effects of a proposed corporate action on any particular corporate constituent group or interest as a dominant or controlling factor. If a determination is made with the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors of the board, that determination is conclusively presumed to be valid unless it can be demonstrated that the determination was not made in good faith after reasonable investigation. Chapter 35 specifically provides that specified judicial decisions in Delaware and other jurisdictions, which might be looked upon for guidance in interpreting Indiana law, including decisions that propose a higher or different degree of scrutiny in response to a proposed acquisition of the corporation, are inconsistent with the proper application of the business judgment rule under that section.

18

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

        We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. Such warrants may be issued independently or together with any such underlying warrant securities and may be attached to or separate from such underlying warrant securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency for or with holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

        The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any warrants offered thereby. This information will include some or all of the following:

•

the title or designation of such warrants;

•

the aggregate number of such warrants;

•

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

•

the currency or currencies, including composite currencies or currency units, in which the exercise price of such warrants may be payable;

•

the designation, aggregate principal amount and terms of the underlying warrant securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants, and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the warrant securities;

•

the price at which the underlying warrant securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

•

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

•

whether such warrants will be issued in registered form or bearer form;

•

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be exercised at any one time;

•

if applicable, the designation and terms of the underlying warrant securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such underlying warrant security;

•

if applicable, the currency or currencies, including composite currencies or currency units, in which any principal, premium, if any, or interest on the underlying warrant securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrant will be payable;

•

if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related underlying warrant securities will be separately transferable;

•

information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

•

if necessary, a discussion of certain federal income tax considerations; and

•

any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such warrants.

19

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:

•

directly to one or more purchasers;

•

through agents;

•

to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•

through a combination of any of these methods.

        A distribution of the securities offered by this prospectus may also be effected through the issuance of derivative securities, including without limitation, warrants, subscriptions, exchangeable securities, forward delivery contracts and the writing of options.

        In addition, the manner in which we may sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus includes, without limitation, through:

•

a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell as agent, but may position or resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers; or

•

privately negotiated transactions.

        We may also enter into hedging transactions. For example, we may:

•

enter into transactions with a broker-dealer or affiliate thereof in connection with which such broker-dealer or affiliate will engage in short sales of the common stock pursuant to this prospectus, in which case such broker-dealer or affiliate may use shares of common stock received from us to close out its short positions;

•

sell securities short and redeliver such shares to close out our short positions;

•

enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof, who will then resell or transfer the common stock under this prospectus; or

•

loan or pledge the common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof, who may sell the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus.

        In addition, we may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

20

        A prospectus supplement with respect to each offering of securities will state the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

•

the name or names of any underwriters or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them, if any;

•

the public offering price or purchase price of the securities and the net proceeds to be received by us from the sale;

•

any delayed delivery arrangements;

•

any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters' or agents' compensation;

•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

•

any securities exchange or markets on which the securities may be listed.

        The offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including privately negotiated transactions, either:

•

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

•

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

•

at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

•

at negotiated prices.

General

        Any public offering price and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be "underwriters" as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their commissions, fees or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

Underwriters and Agents

        If underwriters are used in a sale, they will acquire the offered securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the offered securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. These sales may be made at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. We may offer the securities to the public through an underwriting syndicate or through a single underwriter. The underwriters in any particular offering will be mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

        Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased, unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities. Any initial offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

21

        We may designate agents to sell the offered securities. Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities, the agents will agree to use their best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. We may also sell the offered securities to one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. These firms will remarket the offered securities upon purchasing them in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to the terms of the offered securities. A prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be will identify any remarketing firm and will describe the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation.

        In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which we receive our outstanding securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these outstanding securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from us under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of securities.

Dealers

        We may sell the offered securities to dealers as principals. We may negotiate and pay dealers' commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public either at varying prices to be determined by the dealer or at a fixed offering price agreed to with us at the time of resale. Dealers engaged by us may allow other dealers to participate in resales.

Direct Sales

        We may choose to sell the offered securities directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.

Institutional Purchasers

        We may authorize agents, dealers or underwriters to solicit certain institutional investors to purchase offered securities on a delayed delivery basis pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified future date. The applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.

        We will enter into such delayed contracts only with institutional purchasers that we approve. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.

Indemnification; Other Relationships

        We may have agreements with agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions.

Market-Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

        There is currently no market for any of the offered securities, other than the common stock which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. If the offered securities are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing

22

interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. While it is possible that an underwriter could inform us that it intends to make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated to do so, and any such market-making could be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to whether an active trading market will develop for the offered securities. We have no current plans for listing of the debt securities, preferred stock or warrants on any securities exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. automated quotation system; any such listing with respect to any particular debt securities, preferred stock or warrants will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

        In connection with any offering of common stock, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters' over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.

        In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

Fees and Commissions

        In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be; however, it is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be significantly less than this amount.

Item 15.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statute, Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws referred to below.

Indiana

        Under Chapter 35 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL"), directors are required to discharge their duties in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner that the directors reasonably believe to be in the best interest of the corporation. Under the IBCL, a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to act, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty (including alleged breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith) unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director's office and the action or failure to act constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. This exculpation from liability under the IBCL does not affect the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws.

        Hillenbrand, Inc. is empowered by Chapter 37 of the IBCL, subject to the procedures and limitations therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, in which such person is made a party because such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Hillenbrand, Inc. if his or her conduct was in good faith, he or she reasonably believed that, if acting in the individual's official capacity, the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation and in all other cases, the conduct was not opposed to the

II-1

corporation's best interests and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, resolution of the board of directors or of the shareholders, or otherwise. In addition, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director or officer was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding. A corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of the persons described above against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any of the capacities described above, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the IBCL.

Hillenbrand, Inc.

        Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws generally obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the IBCL and to advance expenses incurred by our directors and officers in the defense of certain claims.

        We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our non-employee directors. Generally, these indemnification agreements obligate us to indemnify each such director to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Indiana. Indemnification is required against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or settlement of a claim, made against the director by reason of his or her service in such role for us. Indemnification is not available in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, where a court determines that the director derived an improper personal benefit, where a court determines that indemnification is not lawful under any applicable statute or public policy or in connection with any proceeding initiated by the director unless required by law, authorized by the board of directors or related to enforcement of the indemnification agreement.

        We have obtained policies that insure our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under these policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may also pay amounts for which we have granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

        Any agreements that we enter into with respect to the sale of securities may also provide for indemnification provisions.

Item 16.    Exhibits

        See the "Exhibit Index" following the signature pages hereto.

Item 17.    Undertakings

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:



(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:



(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;



(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,

II-2

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.



(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:



(A)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and



(B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration

II-3

statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

        The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

          (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

         (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

        (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

        (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes:



(1)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(2)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 5.1

[Letterhead of Ice Miller LLP]

September 9, 2019

Hillenbrand, Inc.

One Batesville Boulevard

Batesville, IN 47006

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Hillenbrand, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), Batesville Casket Company, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Batesville Casket”), Batesville Manufacturing, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Batesville Manufacturing”), and Batesville Services, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Batesville Services,” and together with Batesville Casket and Batesville Manufacturing, the “Indiana Co-Registrants”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by the Company, the Indiana Co-Registrants and the other co-registrants named therein with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of the following securities: (i) debt securities of the Company, in one or more series (“Debt Securities”); (ii) shares of common stock, without par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”); (iii) shares of preferred stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), in one or more classes or series; (iv) warrants to purchase any of the securities described in clauses (i) to (iii) (collectively, the “Warrants”); and (v) guarantees of one or more of the co-registrants, including the Indiana Co-Registrants, to be issued in connection with the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”). The Debt Securities, Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Preferred Stock will be issued in one or more series and the relative powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such Preferred Stock will be set forth in one or more articles of amendment (each, the “Articles of Amendment”). Each of the Articles of Amendment will be in a form to be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to a document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and incorporated into the Registration Statement by reference.

Each series of Debt Securities and any related Guarantees thereof will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 9, 2010, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Indenture”), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

Each Warrant will be issued pursuant to a warrant agreement (a “Warrant Agreement”) substantially in a form that will be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to a document filed under the Exchange Act, and incorporated into the Registration Statement by reference.

In connection with this opinion we have examined the Registration Statement and the exhibits being filed thereunder, the Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as have been corrected and amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), and the Amended and Restated Code of By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) of the Company, each in the form filed with the Commission, and the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company effective as of September 6, 2019 relating to the Registration Statement. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company, such agreements, certificates of public officials and others, and such other documents, instruments, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein. We have also relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

In our examination, we have assumed, without independent verification: (a) the legal capacity of all natural persons; (b) the genuineness of all signatures; (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (d) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile copies; (e) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; (f) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments, certificates and records we have reviewed; and (g) the absence of any undisclosed modifications to the agreements and instruments reviewed by us. We have also assumed that (1) stock certificates evidencing Preferred Stock, if any, to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will be in a form that complies with, and the terms of such Preferred Stock will be duly established in accordance with, the Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended (the “IBCL”); and (2) stock certificates, if any, evidencing Common Stock or Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will conform to the requirements of the IBCL and will be duly executed and delivered.

The opinions set forth below are limited to the laws of the State of Indiana and, as to Paragraphs 1 and 2 only, the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion with respect to the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction. The Securities may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof.

Based on and subject to the foregoing and to the other qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.     With respect to any series of Debt Securities covered by the Registration Statement, when (i) appropriate corporate action has been taken to authorize the issuance and terms of such series of Debt Securities and related matters and, if necessary, to authorize the execution and delivery of a supplement to the Indenture and (ii) such series of Debt Securities has been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented, and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof upon payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor, such series of Debt Securities, when issued and sold in accordance with the Indenture, as supplemented, and the applicable underwriting agreement, if any, or any other duly authorized, executed and delivered valid and legally binding purchase or agency agreement, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

2.     With respect to the Guarantees of the Indiana Co-Registrants, when (i) appropriate corporate action has been taken to authorize the issuance and terms of such Guarantees and related matters and, if necessary, to authorize the execution and delivery of a supplement to the Indenture and (ii) such Guarantees have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented, and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof upon payment of the agreed-upon consideration for the related Debt Securities, such Guarantees, when issued and sold in accordance with the Indenture, as supplemented, and the applicable underwriting agreement, if any, or any other duly authorized, executed and delivered valid and legally binding purchase or agency agreement, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

3.     With respect to the shares of Common Stock, when (i) appropriate corporate action has been taken to authorize the issuance of Common Stock, (ii) the Common Stock shall have been duly issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor in accordance with such corporate action, and (iii) unless issued without certificates, certificates representing shares of Common Stock have been duly executed, countersigned and registered in accordance with applicable law, then, upon the happening of such events, such Common Stock, when issued and sold in accordance with the applicable underwriting agreement, if any, or any other duly authorized, executed and delivered valid and legally binding purchase agreement or agency agreement, or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security or the instrument governing such Security providing for such conversion, exchange or exercise, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In rendering the opinion set forth in this Paragraph 3, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance of any Common Stock, (a) the Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws and the IBCL shall not have been amended after the date hereof so as to affect the validity of such issuance, and (b) there shall be sufficient Common Stock authorized under the Articles of Incorporation (as then in effect) and not otherwise reserved for issuance.

4.     With respect to the shares of any series of Preferred Stock, when (i) appropriate corporate action has been taken to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock, to fix the terms thereof and to authorize the execution and filing of Articles of Amendment relating thereto with the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana, (ii) such Articles of Amendment shall have been executed by duly authorized officers of the Company and so filed by the Company, all in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, (iii) the Preferred Stock with terms so fixed shall have been duly issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor in accordance with such corporate action, and (iv) unless issued without certificates, certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock have been duly executed, countersigned and registered in accordance with applicable law, then, upon the happening of such events, such Preferred Stock, when issued and sold in accordance with the applicable underwriting agreement, if any, or any other duly authorized, executed and delivered valid and legally binding purchase agreement or agency agreement, or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security or the instrument governing such Security providing for such conversion, exchange or exercise, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In rendering the opinion set forth in this Paragraph 4, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance of any Preferred Stock, (a) the Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws and the IBCL shall not have been amended after the date hereof so as to affect the validity of such issuance, and (b) there shall be sufficient Preferred Stock authorized under the Articles of Incorporation (as then in effect) and not otherwise reserved for issuance.

5.     With respect to any series of Warrants, when (i) the appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the form, terms, execution, delivery and performance of a Warrant Agreement (including a form of certificate evidencing the Warrants), and (ii) Warrants with such terms are duly executed, attested, issued and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company against payment of the agreed-upon consideration in the manner provided for in the applicable Warrant Agreement and such corporate action, then, upon the happening of such events, such Warrants, when issued and sold in accordance with the applicable underwriting agreement, if any, or any other duly authorized, executed and delivered valid and legally binding purchase agreement or agency agreement, will be validly issued and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also hereby consent to the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectuses which form a part of the Registration Statement.

Re:Hillenbrand, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel to Hillenbrand, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the automatic registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed on the date hereof by the Company and the guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), of (i) debt securities of the Company (“Debt Securities”), which may be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of July 9, 2010 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and (ii) other securities of the Company, including such indeterminate amount of Debt Securities as may be issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of any Debt Securities as may be issued pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments determined at the time of offering (collectively, “Indeterminate Securities”). The Registration Statement also relates to the issuance and sale from time to time by the Guarantors of guarantees of the Debt Securities (“Guarantees”). The Debt Securities and the Guarantees offered pursuant to the Registration Statement are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

(a)           the Registration Statement;

(b)           an executed copy of the Indenture;

(c)           an executed copy of a certificate for each Opinion Party (as defined below) of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of each Opinion Party, dated the date hereof (collectively, the “Secretary’s Certificates”);

(d)           a copy of the certificate of incorporation of each of the Opinion Parties that are corporations, as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of September 9, 2019, and certified pursuant to the applicable Secretary’s Certificates;

(e)           a copy of the bylaws of each of the Opinion Parties that are corporations, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, and certified pursuant to the applicable Secretary’s Certificates;

(f)            a copy of the certificate of formation of Rotex Global, LLC (“Rotex”), as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of September 9, 2019, and certified pursuant to the applicable Secretary’s Certificates;

(g)           a copy of the limited liability company agreement of Rotex, dated as of August 21, 2019, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, and certified pursuant to the applicable Secretary’s Certificate (the “LLC Agreement”); and

(h)           a copy of certain resolutions adopted by the board of directors, board of managers or other governing body, as applicable, of each Opinion Party relating to the Registration Statement and the registration of the Securities, Indeterminate Securities and related matters, as certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificates.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and the Guarantors and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and others and of public officials, including those in the Secretary’s Certificates.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (ii) the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”).

As used herein, (i) “Opinion Parties” means each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule II hereto and (ii) “Transaction Documents” means the Indenture and the supplemental indentures and any officer’s certificates establishing the terms of the Debt Securities pursuant thereto and the related Guarantees.

The opinions stated below presume that all of the following (collectively, the “general conditions”) shall have occurred prior to the issuance and sale of the Guarantees referred to therein: (i) the

2

Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments) has become effective under the Securities Act; (ii) an appropriate prospectus supplement or term sheet with respect to such Securities has been prepared, delivered and filed in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations; (iii) the applicable Transaction Documents shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto, including, if such Securities are to be sold or otherwise distributed pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten offering, the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement with respect thereto; (iv) the Board of Directors of the Company and similar governing bodies of the Guarantors, including any duly authorized committees thereof, shall have taken all necessary action to approve the issuance and sale of such Securities and related matters, and appropriate officers of the Company and the Guarantors have taken all related action as directed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company or similar governing bodies of the Guarantors, as applicable; and (v) the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents and the issuance and sale of such Securities and Indeterminate Securities have been duly established in conformity with the certificate of incorporation of the Company and organizational documents of the Guarantors, as applicable, so as not to violate any applicable law, the certificate of incorporation of the Company, the bylaws of the Company or the organizational documents of the Guarantors, or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company and the Guarantors.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that with respect to any Guarantee by an Opinion Party of any series of Debt Securities (“Offered Debt Securities”), including any Guarantee by an Opinion Party of any Indeterminate Securities (the “Offered Guarantees”), when (a) the general conditions shall have been satisfied, (b) the issuance, sale and terms of the Offered Guarantees and related matters have been approved and established in conformity with the applicable Transaction Documents, (c) certificates (if any) evidencing the Offered Guarantees and the certificates evidencing the Debt Securities guaranteed thereby have been duly executed and, if applicable, authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and any other applicable Transaction Documents and (d) such Debt Securities have been issued and sold or otherwise distributed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Transaction Document upon payment of the agreed upon consideration therefor (i) such Guarantee will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by all requisite corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, action on the part of such Opinion Party under the DGCL or the DLLCA, as applicable, and (ii) such Opinion Party will have the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute and deliver such Guarantee and to consummate the offer and sale of such Guarantee contemplated thereby under the DGCL or the DLLCA, as applicable.

In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinions we have assumed that the LLC Agreement is the only agreement of the members of Rotex as to the affairs of Rotex and the conduct of its business, and we do not express any opinion with respect to the effect of any other agreement of the members of Rotex as to the affairs of Rotex and the conduct of its business. Further, we have assumed that Rotex has, and since the time of its formation has had, at least one validly admitted and existing member of Rotex and (i) no procedures have been instituted for, and no other event has occurred, including, without limitation, any action taken by Rotex or its Board of Managers that would result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Rotex, (ii) no event has occurred that has adversely affected the good standing of Rotex under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Rotex has taken all actions required by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation to maintain such good standing and (iii) no grounds exist for the revocation or forfeiture of Rotex’s Certificate of Formation.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement. We also hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.
