Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The
board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Accendra Health, Inc. (the “Company”) has taken actions to facilitate
the Company’s ability to preserve its net operating losses (“NOLs”) and certain other tax attributes. In connection
therewith, on August 9, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”)
for each share of Common Stock, par value $2.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) outstanding on August
20, 2026 (the “Record Date”) to the shareholders of record on that date. In connection with the distribution of the Rights,
the Company entered into a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Tax Asset Preservation Plan”), dated as of August 10, 2026,
between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from
the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred
Shares”) at a price of $15.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented by a Right (the “Purchase Price”),
subject to adjustment. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
given to them in the Tax Asset Preservation Plan.
The purpose of the Tax Asset
Preservation Plan is to facilitate the Company’s ability to preserve its NOLs and its other tax attributes in order to be able to
offset potential future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company’s ability to use its NOLs and other tax
attributes would be substantially limited if it experiences an “ownership change,” as such term is defined in Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A company generally experiences an ownership change if the
percentage of the value of its stock owned by certain “5-percent shareholders,” as such term is defined in Section 382
of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The Tax Asset Preservation Plan is intended
to, among other things, reduce the likelihood of an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code by deterring any Person or group of
affiliated or associated Persons from acquiring Beneficial Ownership (as defined below) of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Shares.
The Rights are in all respects
subject to and governed by the provisions of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan. The following description of the Tax Asset Preservation
Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Distribution Date; Exercisability; Expiration
Initially, the Rights will
be attached to all Common Share certificates (or other evidence of book-entry or other uncertificated ownership) and no separate certificates
evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be issued. Until the Distribution Date (as defined below), the Rights will
be transferred with and only with the Common Shares. As long as the Rights are attached to the Common Shares, the Company will issue one
Right with each new Common Share so that all such Common Shares will have Rights attached (subject to certain limited exceptions).
The Rights will separate and begin trading separately from the Common
Shares, and Right Certificates will be caused to evidence the Rights, on the earlier to occur of (i) the Close of Business on the
tenth day following the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Shares by a Person or group of affiliated
or associated Persons (an “Acquiring Person”) (or, in the event that the Board of Directors determines to effect an exchange
in accordance with the terms of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan and the Board of Directors determines that a later date is advisable,
then such later date) and (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action
of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or
exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the Beneficial Ownership by a Person or group of 4.9% or more of the outstanding
Common Shares (the earlier of such dates, the “Distribution Date”). As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, unless
the Rights are recorded in book-entry or other uncertificated form, the Company will prepare and cause the Right Certificates to be sent
to each record holder of Common Shares as of the Distribution Date.
An “Acquiring Person”
is defined in the Tax Asset Preservation Plan to include any Person (other than an Exempt Person) who or which, together with all affiliates
and associates of such Person, is the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but will not include (i) the
Company, (ii) any subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company,
(iv) any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit plan or (v) any Person who or
which, together with all affiliates and associates of such Person, at the time of the first public announcement of the Tax Asset Preservation
Plan, is a Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (a “Grandfathered Shareholder”);
however, if a Grandfathered Shareholder becomes, after such time, the Beneficial Owner (other than pursuant to the vesting or exercise
of any equity awards issued to a member of the Board of Directors or pursuant to additional grants of any such equity awards to a member
of the Board of Directors) of any additional Common Shares (regardless of whether, thereafter or as a result thereof, there is an increase,
decrease or no change in the percentage of Common Shares then outstanding Beneficially Owned by such Grandfathered Shareholder) then such
Grandfathered Shareholder will be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional
Common Shares, such Person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding. Additionally, that upon
the first decrease of a Grandfathered Shareholder’s Beneficial Ownership below 4.9%, such Grandfathered Shareholder will no longer
be deemed to be a Grandfathered Shareholder. If after the time of the first public announcement of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan, any
agreement, arrangement or understanding pursuant to which any Grandfathered Shareholder is deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of Common
Shares is, directly or indirectly, replaced, extended amended or substituted with respect to the same or different Common Shares for any
reason (including, without limitation, because it expired, was settled in whole or in part, terminated or no longer confers any benefit
to or imposes any obligation on the Grandfathered Shareholder (or, as applicable, an affiliate or associate of the Grandfathered Shareholder)),
then such agreement, arrangement or understanding will be considered the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares
by the Grandfathered Shareholder and render such Grandfathered Shareholder an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Tax Asset Preservation
Plan unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares, such Person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9%
or more of the Common Shares then outstanding.
“Beneficial Ownership”
is defined in the Tax Asset Preservation Plan to include any securities (i) that a Person actually owns (directly or indirectly) or would
be deemed to directly, indirectly or constructively own (as determined for purposes of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder), including any coordinated acquisition of securities by any Persons who have a formal or informal understanding
with respect to such acquisition (to the extent that ownership of such securities would be attributed to such Persons under Section 382
of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), (ii) that such Person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, as
determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan, including pursuant
to any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise as set forth in Rule 13d-3, but only if the effect of such arrangement,
understanding, relationship, or otherwise is to treat such Persons as an “entity” under Section 1.382-3(a)(1) of the Treasury
Regulations; or (iii) that are Beneficially Owned (within the meaning of the preceding subsections of this definition), directly or indirectly,
by any other Person with which such Person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing and other than customary
agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), but only
if the effect of such agreement, arrangement or understanding is to treat such Persons as an “entity” under Section 1.382-3(a)(1)
of the Treasury Regulations; however, a Person will not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “Beneficially Own,”
any security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding (a) arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to
a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and (b)
is not also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report). The phrase
“then outstanding,” when used with reference to a Person’s Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company, means
the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the number of such securities not then actually issued and outstanding
which such Person would be deemed to Beneficially Own pursuant to the Tax Asset Preservation Plan.
The
Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which
the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that (A) the Tax Asset Preservation Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation
of material NOLs or tax attributes or (B) the NOLs and tax attributes have been fully utilized and may no longer be carried forward and
(ii) the Close of Business on August 10, 2029 (the “Final Expiration Date”).
Exempt Persons and Transactions
The Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, determine that a Person is exempt from the Tax Asset Preservation Plan (an “Exempt Person”), so long as such determination
is made prior to such time as such Person becomes an Acquiring Person. Any Person will cease to be an Exempt Person if the Board of Directors
makes a contrary determination with respect to such Person regardless of the reason therefor. In addition, the Board of Directors may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, exempt any transaction from triggering the Tax Asset Preservation Plan, so long as the determination
in respect of such exemption is made prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person. Any Person, together with all affiliates
and associates of such Person, who proposes to acquire 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Shares may apply to the Board of Directors
in advance for an exemption in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan.
Flip-in Event
If a Person or group becomes an Acquiring Person
at any time after the date of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan (with certain limited exceptions), the Rights will become exercisable for
Common Shares having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. From and after the announcement that any Person has become
an Acquiring Person, if the Rights evidenced by a Right Certificate are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person
or any associate or affiliate of an Acquiring Person, such Rights will become void, and any holder of such Rights will thereafter have
no right to exercise such Rights. If the Board of Directors so elects, the Company may deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a
Right an amount of cash, securities or other property equivalent in value to the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Right.
Exchange
At any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring
Person, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by any Person which have become void), in whole or in
part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right (subject to adjustment). The Company may issue, transfer or deposit such Common
Shares (or other property as permitted under the Tax Asset Preservation Plan) to or into a trust or other entity created upon such terms
as the Board of Directors may determine and may direct that all holders of Rights receive such Common Shares or other property only from
the trust or other entity. In the event that the Board of Directors determines, before the Distribution Date, to effect an exchange, the
Board of Directors may delay the occurrence of the Distribution Date to such time as it deems advisable.
Redemption
At any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i)
the Close of Business on the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date (as defined in the Tax Asset Preservation Plan) (or, if the
tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date occurs before the Record Date, the Close of Business on the Record Date) and (ii) the Final
Expiration Date, the Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (the “Redemption
Price”). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate
and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
Amendment
The terms of the Rights may be amended by the
Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that at any time after the Close of Business on the tenth
day following the Stock Acquisition Date (or, if the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date occurs before the Record Date, the
Close of Business on the Record Date), no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (other than the
Acquiring Person and its affiliates and associates).
Preferred Stock Rights
Each one-thousandth of a Preferred Share will entitle the holder thereof
to the same dividends and liquidation rights as if the holder held one Common Share and will be treated the same as a Common Share in
the event of a merger, consolidation or other share exchange.
Rights of Holders
Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof,
as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

Exhibit 3.1
ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
ACCENDRA HEALTH, INC.
The undersigned, on behalf of the corporation
set forth below, pursuant to Title 13.1, Chapter 9, Article 11 of the Code of Virginia, states as follows:
Name. The name of the corporation
is ACCENDRA HEALTH, INC.
Text of Amendment. The Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) are amended to add the
following to Part A of Article III (the “Amendment”):
7. Series
C Cumulative Preferred Stock.
The shares of this series
shall be designated as Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock”), and the number
of shares constituting the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 100,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by
resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into
Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the following preferences, limitations
and relative rights:
Section 1. Dividends and
Distributions.
(A) Subject
to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, of the Corporation (the “Cumulative
Preferred Stock”) (or any other stock of the Corporation) ranking prior and superior to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day
of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing
on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock, in an amount (if any) per share (rounded to the nearest cent), subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal
to 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends or other distributions, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount
(payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of common stock, par value
$2.00 per share of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(by reclassification or otherwise) declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with
respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such
event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The
Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this
Section 1 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common
Stock).
(C) Dividends
due pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section 1 shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin
to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the
record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend
and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from
such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated
pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the
determination of holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared
thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
Section 2. Voting
Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof
to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of
Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which
holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying
such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
2
(B) Except
as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, including any other Articles of Amendment creating a series of Cumulative Preferred
Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common
Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted
to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.
(C) Except
as set forth herein, or as otherwise required by law, holders of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights
and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein)
for taking any corporate action.
Section 3. Certain Restrictions.
(A) Whenever
quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1
are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series
C Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
(i) declare or pay
dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay
dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up) with the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all
such shares are then entitled; or
(iii) redeem or purchase
or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire
shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock.
(B) The
Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock
of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 3, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares
at such time and in such manner.
3
Section 4. Reacquired
Shares. Any shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary to
cause all such shares to become authorized but unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock that may be reissued as part of a new series
of Cumulative Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein or in the Articles of Incorporation,
including any Articles of Amendment creating a series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or as otherwise required by
law.
Section 5. Liquidation, Dissolution
or Winding-Up.
(A) Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, voluntary or otherwise, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Series
C Liquidation Preference”) equal to an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal
to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock plus an amount equal to any
accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior
to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) If
there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series C Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences
of all other classes and series of stock of the Corporation, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
in respect thereof, then the assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.
(C) Neither
the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another entity nor the merger or consolidation of any other entity into or
with the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section
5.
Section 6. Consolidation,
Merger, Etc. If the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of
Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share
of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other
property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event
that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment
of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount
set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be adjusted
by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
4

SECTION
382 RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Section 382 Rights Agreement
(this “Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2026, is between Accendra Health, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”),
and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”).
The Company and certain of
its Subsidiaries have generated certain Tax Attributes (as defined below) for United States federal income tax purposes and the Company
therefore desires to avoid an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, including for purposes of
Section 383 of the Code, and to preserve the Company’s ability to utilize such Tax Attributes.
The Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
(a “Right”) for each share of common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of the Company outstanding on the Close of
Business on August 20, 2026 (the “Record Date”) and has authorized the issuance of one Right with respect to each
additional Common Share issued by the Company between the Record Date and the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date, (ii) the Redemption
Date, and (iii) the Final Expiration Date, and additional Common Shares that shall become outstanding after the Distribution Date
as provided in Section 22 of this Agreement, each Right initially representing the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share, subject to adjustment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof.
Accordingly, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:
1.1
“Acquiring Person” means any Person (other than an Exempt Person) who or which, together with all Affiliates
and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include
(i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary
of the Company, (iv) any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit plan or (v) any
Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, at the time of the first public announcement of this
Agreement, is a Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (a “Grandfathered Shareholder”);
provided that if a Grandfathered Shareholder becomes, after such time, the Beneficial Owner (other than pursuant to the vesting
or exercise of any equity awards issued to a member of the Board of Directors or pursuant to additional grants of any such equity awards
to a member of the Board of Directors) of any additional Common Shares (regardless of whether, thereafter or as a result thereof, there
is an increase, decrease or no change in the percentage of Common Shares then outstanding Beneficially Owned by such Grandfathered Shareholder)
then such Grandfathered Shareholder shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of
additional Common Shares, such Person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding; provided,
further, that upon the first decrease of a Grandfathered Shareholder’s Beneficial Ownership below 4.9%, such Grandfathered
Shareholder shall no longer be deemed to be a Grandfathered Shareholder and this clause (v) shall have no further force or effect with
respect to such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, if after the time of the first public announcement of this Agreement, any agreement,
arrangement or understanding pursuant to which any Grandfathered Shareholder is deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of Common Shares is,
directly or indirectly, replaced, extended, amended or substituted with respect to the same or different Common Shares for any reason
(including, without limitation, because it expired, was settled in whole or in part, terminated or no longer confers any benefit to or
imposes any obligation on the Grandfathered Shareholder (or, as applicable, an Affiliate or Associate of the Grandfathered Shareholder)),
then such agreement, arrangement or understanding shall be considered the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares
by the Grandfathered Shareholder and render such Grandfathered Shareholder an Acquiring Person for purposes of this Agreement unless,
upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares, such Person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of
the Common Shares then outstanding.
- 1 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Person shall become an Acquiring Person solely as the result of an acquisition or redemption of Common Shares by the Company which,
by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares Beneficially Owned by such Person to 4.9%
(or such other percentage as would otherwise result in such Person becoming an Acquiring Person) or more of the Common Shares then outstanding;
provided that if a Person would, but for the provisions of this paragraph, become an Acquiring Person by reason of an acquisition
or redemption of Common Shares by the Company and shall, after such acquisition or redemption by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner
of any additional Common Shares at any time such that the Person is or thereby becomes the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% (or such other percentage
as would otherwise result in such Person becoming an Acquiring Person) or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (other than Common
Shares acquired solely as a result of corporate action of the Company not caused, directly or indirectly, by such Person), then such
Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Board of Directors, with the concurrence of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors who are not, and are not representatives,
nominees, Affiliates or Associates of, such Person or an Acquiring Person, determines in good faith that a Person that would otherwise
be an Acquiring Person upon a certain acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares has become so inadvertently (including because
(i) such Person was unaware that it Beneficially Owned a percentage of Common Shares that would otherwise cause such Person to be an
Acquiring Person or (ii) such Person was aware of the extent of its Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares but had no actual knowledge
of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement), then such Person shall not be deemed to have become an Acquiring
Person with respect to such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a bona fide swaps
dealer who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person has become so as a result of its actions in the ordinary course of its business that
the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, were taken without the intent or effect of evading or assisting any other
Person to evade the purposes and intent of this Agreement, then, and unless and until the Board of Directors shall otherwise determine,
such Person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person.
- 2 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Person shall become an Acquiring Person solely as a result of an Exempt Transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no regulated investment company under Section 851 of the Code shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person, unless the Board of Directors
determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such regulated investment company is deemed to Beneficially Own more than 4.9% or more
of the Common Shares then outstanding under the applicable standards of Treasury Regulations Section 1.382-3(a). In determining whether
any regulated investment company is an Acquiring Person, the filing of a statement under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with respect
to such regulated investment company shall not be deemed to establish that such regulated investment company has acquired Beneficial
Ownership of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding; provided that the Board of Directors shall be entitled to rely
upon any such filing unless such regulated investment company provides information and diligence that permits the Board of Directors
to conclude, in its reasonable discretion, that such regulated investment company has not acquired Beneficial Ownership of 4.9% or more
of the Common Shares then outstanding pursuant to the applicable standards of Treasury Regulations Section 1.382-3(a).
Notwithstanding the
definition of Acquiring Person under this Agreement, the Board of Directors may also determine that any Person is an Acquiring Person
under this Agreement if such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% (by value) or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (as
the term “stock” is defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.382-2(a)(3) and 1.382-2T(f)(18)).
1.2
“Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms
in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
1.3
A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of and shall be deemed to “Beneficially Own,”
or have “Beneficial Ownership” of, any securities:
1.3.1 that
such Person actually owns (directly or indirectly) or would be deemed to directly, indirectly or constructively own (as determined for
purposes of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), including any coordinated acquisition of securities
by any Persons who have a formal or informal understanding with respect to such acquisition (to the extent that ownership of such securities
would be attributed to such Persons under Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);
1.3.2
that such Person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act as in
effect on the date of this Agreement, including pursuant to any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise as set
forth in Rule 13d-3, but only if the effect of such arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise is to treat such Persons as
an “entity” under Section 1.382-3(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations; or
- 3 -
1.3.3
that are Beneficially Owned (within the meaning of the preceding subsections of this Section 1.3), directly or indirectly,
by any other Person with which such Person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing and other than
customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities),
but only if the effect of such agreement, arrangement or understanding is to treat such Persons as an “entity” under Section
1.382-3(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of,
or to “Beneficially Own,” any security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding (i) arises solely from a revocable
proxy or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and (ii) is not also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable
or successor report).
Notwithstanding anything
in this definition of Beneficial Owner to the contrary, the phrase “then outstanding,” when used with reference to a Person’s
Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company, means the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the
number of such securities not then actually issued and outstanding which such Person would be deemed to Beneficially Own hereunder.

Issue of Right Certificates.
3.1
Until the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth day after the Stock Acquisition Date (or, in the event that
the Board of Directors determines on or before such tenth day to effect an exchange in accordance with Section 24 and determines that
a later date is advisable, such later date) and (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth Business Day (or such later date as may
be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of the
commencement by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any
Subsidiary of the Company, any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such benefit plan or any Exempt Person)
of a tender or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any Person becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of (i) and
(ii) being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”) (provided that if such tender or exchange offer is
terminated prior to the occurrence of a Distribution Date, then no Distribution Date shall occur as a result of such tender or exchange
offer), (A) the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates (or other evidence of book-entry or other uncertificated ownership)
for Common Shares registered in the names of the holders thereof (which shall also be deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate
Right Certificates (provided that each certificate (or other evidence of book-entry or other uncertificated ownership) representing
Common Shares outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date evidencing the Rights shall be deemed to incorporate by reference
the terms of this Agreement, as amended from time to time), and (B) the right to receive Right Certificates will be transferable
only in connection with the transfer of Common Shares. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the Company will prepare and
execute, the Rights Agent will countersign, and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested, at
the expense of the Company and upon receipt of all relevant information, send or cause to be sent) by first-class, postage-prepaid mail,
to each record holder of Common Shares as of the Distribution Date (other than any Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of
any Acquiring Person), at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, a Right Certificate, substantially in the form
of Exhibit B hereto, evidencing one Right for each Common Share so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein; provided
that the Rights may instead be recorded in book-entry or other uncertificated form, in which case such book-entries or other evidence
of ownership shall be deemed to be Right Certificates for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that all procedures
relating to actions to be taken or information to be provided with respect to such Rights recorded in book-entry or other uncertificated
forms, and all requirements with respect to the form of any Right Certificate set forth in this Agreement, may be modified as necessary
or appropriate to reflect book-entry or other uncertificated ownership. As of the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely
by such Right Certificates.
3.2
As soon as practicable after the Record Date, the Company will make available a copy of the Summary of Rights to any holder
of Rights who may request it prior to the Final Expiration Date. The Company shall provide the Rights Agent with written notice of the
occurrence of the Final Expiration Date and the Rights Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of the Final Expiration
Date, unless and until it shall have received such written notice.
- 7 -
3.3
Certificates for Common Shares which become outstanding (including reacquired Common Shares referred to in the last sentence
of this Section 3.3) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date, (ii) the Redemption Date,
and (iii) the Final Expiration Date shall have impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them a legend in substantially
the following form:
This certificate also evidences and entitles
the holder hereof to certain Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement (as defined below)) as set forth in the Section 382 Rights Agreement
between Accendra Health, Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (or any successor rights agent), dated as of August
10, 2026 (as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented pursuant to its terms, the “Rights Agreement”),
the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of Accendra
Health, Inc. and the office or offices of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. designated for such purpose. The Rights are not exercisable
prior to the occurrence of certain events specified in the Rights Agreement. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights
Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced separately and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. Accendra Health, Inc. will mail
to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain
circumstances, Rights that are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person (or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring
Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement)), including such Rights held by a subsequent holder, may become null and void.
Notwithstanding this Section 3.3, the omission
of a legend shall not affect the enforceability of any part of this Agreement or the rights of any holder of the Rights. If the Company
purchases or acquires any Common Shares after the Record Date but prior to the Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such Common
Shares shall be deemed canceled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with the Common
Shares which are no longer outstanding. Rights shall be issued in respect of all Common Shares issued or disposed of (including upon
issuance or reissuance of Common Shares out of authorized but unissued shares) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the
Distribution Date, the Redemption Date, and the Final Expiration Date, or in certain circumstances provided in Section 22 hereof, after
the Distribution Date.
Section 4.
Form of Right Certificates. Right Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase Preferred Shares and of assignment to
be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially the same as Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of identification
or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement (but which do not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or responsibilities of the Rights Agent),
or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation
of any stock exchange on which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage. Subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Right Certificates shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred
Share as shall be set forth therein at the Purchase Price, but the amount and type of securities purchasable upon exercise and the Purchase
Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.
- 8 -
Section 5.
Countersignature and Registration. Right Certificates shall be duly executed on behalf of the Company by any two of its Chairman
of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, any of its Vice Presidents, the Corporate Secretary, or the Assistant
Corporate Secretary, either manually or by facsimile signature or by other customary means of electronic transmission. Upon written request
by the Company, the Right Certificates shall be countersigned by the Rights Agent, either manually or by facsimile signature or by other
customary means of electronic transmission, by an authorized signatory of the Rights Agent, but it shall not be necessary for the same
signatory to countersign all of the Right Certificates hereunder. No Right Certificate shall be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned,
either manually or by facsimile or by other customary means of electronic transmission. If any officer of the Company who shall have
signed any of the Right Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance
and delivery by the Company, such Right Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by
the Company with the same force and effect as though the Person that signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company. Any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any Person that, at the actual date of the execution
of such Right Certificate, is a proper officer of the Company to sign such Right Certificate, even if at the date of the execution of
this Agreement such Person was not such an officer.
Following the Distribution
Date, and receipt by the Rights Agent of written notice to that effect and all other relevant information referred to in this Agreement,
the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its office or offices designated for such purpose, books for registration of the transfer
of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right Certificates,
the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Right Certificates, and the date of each of the Right Certificates.
Section 6.
Transfer, Split-up, Combination and Exchange of Right Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right Certificates.
6.1
Subject to the provisions of Section 14, at any time after the Distribution Date, and prior to the earlier of the Redemption
Date and the Final Expiration Date, any Right Certificate (other than a Right Certificate representing Rights that have become null and
void pursuant to Section 11.1.2 or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged
for another Right Certificate, entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of Preferred Shares as the Right Certificate
surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Right
Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender (together with any required form of
assignment and certificate duly executed and properly completed) the Right Certificate to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged
at the office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and such other documentation
as the Rights Agent may reasonably request. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever
with respect to the transfer, split-up, combination or exchange of any such surrendered Right Certificate until the registered holder
shall have properly completed and duly executed the certificate contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Right
Certificate accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and shall have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner
(or former Beneficial Owner) of the Rights represented by such Right Certificate or the Affiliates or Associates thereof, or of any other
Person with which such Beneficial Owner or any of such Beneficial Owner’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement
or understanding (whether or not in writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the Company,
as the Company or the Rights Agent shall reasonably request, and such other documentation as the Rights Agent reasonably requests. Thereupon,
the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case
may be, as so requested. The Company or the Rights Agent may require payment from the holders of the Right Certificates of a sum sufficient
for the payment of any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split-up, combination or exchange
of Right Certificates. If and to the extent the Company does require payment of any such taxes or governmental charges, the Company shall
give the Rights Agent prompt written notice thereof and the Rights Agent shall not deliver any Rights Certificate unless and until it
is satisfied that all such payments have been made, and the Rights Agent shall forward any such sum collected by it to the Company or
to such Persons as the Company specifies by written notice. The Rights Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any action
under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of taxes and/or charges or governmental charges unless and until it is
satisfied that all such payments have been made.

6.2
Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of a Right Certificate (other than any Right Certificate representing Rights that have become null and void pursuant to
Section 11.1.2, that have been redeemed pursuant to Section 23 or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24), the identity
of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of the Rights represented by such Right Certificate or the Affiliates or Associates
thereof, or of any other Person with which such Beneficial Owner or any of such Beneficial Owner’s Affiliates or Associates has
any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
any securities of the Company, as the Company or the Rights Agent shall request (including a Signature Guarantee and such other documentation
as the Rights Agent may reasonably request) and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security satisfactory to them,
and, at the Company’s or the Rights Agent’s request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable
expenses incidental thereto, and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate,
the Company will make and deliver a new Right Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for countersignature and delivery to the
registered holder in lieu of the Right Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.
Section 7.
Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights.
7.1
The registered holder of any Right Certificate (other than a holder whose Rights have become void pursuant to Section 11.1.2,
have been redeemed pursuant to Section 23 or have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24) may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby in
whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the appropriate form of election
to purchase on the reverse side thereof properly completed and duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the offices of the Rights Agent
designated for such purpose, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and such other documentation as the Rights Agent may reasonably request,
together with payment of the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right that
is exercised is then exercisable and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax or governmental charge required to be paid pursuant
to Section 9, prior to the earliest of (i) the Final Expiration Date, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed pursuant
to Section 23, and (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged pursuant to Section 24.
- 10 -
7.2
The purchase price to be paid upon the exercise of each Right to purchase one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented
by a Right shall initially be $15.00 (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States
of America in accordance with Section 7.3. Each Right shall initially entitle the holder to acquire one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share upon exercise of the Right. The Purchase Price and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities for which a Right is exercisable
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 11.
7.3
Upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and certificate
properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the number of Rights exercised and an amount equal
to any applicable transfer tax or governmental charge required to be paid by the holder of such Right Certificate in accordance with
Section 9 by cash, certified check, cashier’s check or money order payable to the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall
thereupon promptly: (i)(A) requisition from any transfer agent of the Preferred Shares (or from the Company if there shall be no
such transfer agent, or make available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent) certificates for the number of Preferred Shares to
be purchased, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) requisition
from any depositary agent for the Preferred Shares depositary receipts representing such number of Preferred Shares as are to be purchased
(in which case certificates for the Preferred Shares represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depositary
agent), and the Company hereby directs any such depositary agent to comply with such request; (ii) when necessary to comply with
this Agreement, requisition from the Company the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional Preferred Shares in accordance
with Section 14 or Section 24; (iii) after receipt of such certificates or depositary receipts, cause the same to be delivered to
or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated in writing
by such holder; and (iv) when necessary to comply with this Agreement, after receipt of cash in lieu of fractional Preferred Shares
pursuant to clause (ii), deliver such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate. In the event that
the Company is obligated to issue other securities of the Company, pay cash and/or distribute other property pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or other property are available for distribution
by the Rights Agent, if and when necessary to comply with this Agreement, and until so received, the Rights Agent shall have no duties
or obligations with respect to such securities, cash and/or other assets.
7.4
If the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate
evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent and delivered to the registered
holder of such Right Certificate or to such holder’s duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of Section 14.
- 11 -
7.5
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Right Certificate to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company
shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder of Rights or other securities of the Company upon the
occurrence of any purported transfer or exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) properly
completed and duly executed the certificate contained in the appropriate form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of
the Right Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial
Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof, as the Company and the Rights Agent shall reasonably request.
Section 8.
Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates. All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer,
split-up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents (other than the Rights Agent), be delivered
to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Right
Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall
deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate
purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. At the expense of the Company, the Rights Agent shall
deliver all canceled Right Certificates which have been canceled by the Rights Agent to the Company, or shall, at the written request
of the Company, destroy or cause to be destroyed such canceled Right Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction
thereof to the Company.
Section 9.
Status and Availability of Preferred Shares.
9.1
The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available, out of its authorized and unissued
Preferred Shares or any Preferred Shares held in its treasury, the number of Preferred Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exercise
in full of all outstanding Rights in accordance with Section 7.
9.2
The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Preferred Shares
delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates (or entry in the book-entry account system of the
Company) for such Preferred Shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price and compliance with all other applicable provisions of this
Agreement), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares.
9.3 The
Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and governmental
charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any Preferred Shares upon the exercise
of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax or governmental charge which may be payable in respect
of any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts
for Preferred Shares upon the exercise of any Rights until any such transfer tax or governmental charge shall have been paid (any such
transfer tax or governmental charge being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been
established to the Company’s and the Rights Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that no such transfer tax or governmental charge
is due.
- 12 -
Section 10.
Preferred Shares Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate (or entry in the book-entry account system of the
Company) for Preferred Shares is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record
of the Preferred Shares represented thereby on, and such certificate or book-entry shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate
evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes and governmental charges)
was made; provided that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Shares transfer books of
the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be
dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Preferred Shares transfer books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of
the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Shares for
which the Rights shall be exercisable, including the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, or to exercise any preemptive
rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.
Section 11.
Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights.
11.1
General.
11.1.1
In the event that the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (i) declare a dividend on the Preferred
Shares payable in Preferred Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (iii) combine the outstanding Preferred
Shares into a smaller number of Preferred Shares or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred
Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
Person), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.1, the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such
dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital
stock issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled
to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such
date, the holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination
or reclassification; provided that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than
the aggregate par value of the Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs that would require an adjustment
under both this Section 11.1.1 and Section 11.1.2 hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11.1.1 shall be in addition
to, and shall be made prior to, the adjustment required pursuant to Section 11.1.2 hereof.
11.1.2
Subject to the second paragraph of this Section 11.1.2 and
to Section 24, from and after the Stock Acquisition Date, each holder of a Right shall have a right to receive, upon exercise of each
Right at a price equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which
a Right is then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of Common Shares
as shall equal the result obtained by dividing (i) the product of (A) the current Purchase Price and (B) the number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable by (ii) 50% of the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Company’s
Common Shares (determined pursuant to Section 11.4) on the Stock Acquisition Date.
- 13 -
From and after the Stock
Acquisition Date, any Rights that are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by (i) an Acquiring Person (or any Associate or Affiliate
of such Acquiring Person), (ii) a transferee of any Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes such a transferee
after the Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate)
who becomes such a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming an Acquiring Person and who receives such Rights
(A) with actual knowledge that the transferor is or was an Acquiring Person or (B) pursuant to either (x) a transfer (whether or not
for consideration) from the Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person
(or any such Associate or Affiliate) or to any Person with whom the Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) has any continuing
agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship (whether or not in writing) regarding the transferred Rights or (y) a transfer
which the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) which has as
a primary purpose or effect of the avoidance of this Section 11.1.2, (each such Person described in (i)-(iii) above, an “Excluded
Person”) shall, in each such case, be null and void, and any holder of such Rights (whether or not such holder is an Acquiring
Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person) shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights under any provision
of this Agreement. No Right Certificates shall be issued pursuant to Section 3, Section 6, Section 7.4 or Section 11 or otherwise hereof
that represents Rights that are or have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and any Right Certificate delivered
to the Rights Agent that represents Rights that are or have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall,
upon receipt of written notice directing it to do so, be canceled by the Rights Agent.
11.1.3
If there are not sufficient authorized but unissued Common Shares to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance
with Section 11.1.2 or the exchange of the Rights in accordance with Section 24, or should the Board of Directors so elect, the
Company may with respect to such deficiency, (i) determine the excess (the “Spread”) of (A) the value of
the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right as provided in Section 11.1.2 (the “Current Value”) over
(B) the Purchase Price, and (ii) with respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute for such Common Shares,
upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, any one or more of the following having an aggregate value determined by the Board of
Directors to be equal to the Current Value: (A) cash, (B) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (C) Common Shares or other
equity securities of the Company (including shares, or units of shares, of preferred stock which the Board of Directors has determined
to have the same value as Common Shares (“Common Stock Equivalents”)), (D) debt securities of the Company or
(E) other assets, property or instruments. The Company shall provide the Rights Agent with prompt reasonably detailed written notice
of any final determination under the previous sentence.
- 14 -
If the Board of Directors
shall determine in good faith that additional Common Shares should be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the
Company may suspend the exercisability of the Rights in order to seek any authorization of additional shares, decide the appropriate
form of distribution to be made, and determine the value thereof. If the exercisability of the Rights is suspended pursuant to this Section 11.1.3,
the Company shall make a public announcement, and shall promptly deliver to the Rights Agent a written statement, stating that the exercisability
of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. When the suspension is no longer in effect, the Company shall make another public announcement,
and promptly deliver to the Rights Agent a written statement, so stating. For purposes of this Section 11.1.3, the value of the
Common Shares shall be the Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.1) as of
the Stock Acquisition Date, and the value of any Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to have the same value as the Common Shares
on such date.
11.2
If the Company fixes a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Preferred Shares entitling
them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Shares (or shares having the
same rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Shares (“Equivalent Preferred Shares”)) or securities convertible
into Preferred Shares or Equivalent Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share or Equivalent Preferred Share (or having a conversion
price per share, if a security convertible into Preferred Shares or Equivalent Preferred Shares) less than the then Current Per Share
Market Price of the Preferred Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.2) on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in
effect after such record date shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by
a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus (B) the
number of Preferred Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Preferred Shares or Equivalent Preferred Shares
to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities to be offered) would purchase at such Current
Per Share Market Price and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date
plus (B) the number of additional Preferred Shares or Equivalent Preferred Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into
which the convertible securities to be offered are initially convertible); provided that in no event shall the consideration to
be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon
exercise of one Right. If such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash,
the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described
in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account
of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
such a record date is fixed. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase
Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
11.3
If the Company fixes a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Preferred Shares (including any
distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving Person) or evidences
of indebtedness or assets (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in Preferred Shares) or subscription rights
or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11.2), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined
by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be
the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.2) on such record date, less
the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed
with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness to be distributed
or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one Preferred Share and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the then Current
Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.2); provided that in no event shall the
consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the Preferred Shares to be issued upon
exercise of one Right. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. If such distribution is not
so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed.
- 15 -
11.4
Current Per Share Market Price.
11.4.1
For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “Current Per Share Market Price” of any security on any
date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such security for the 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately
prior to such date; provided that if the Current Per Share Market Price of the security is determined during a period (i) following
the announcement by the issuer of such security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such security payable in shares of such security
or other securities convertible into such shares, or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such security, and
(ii) prior to the expiration of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for
such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the Current Per Share Market Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect the current market price per share equivalent of such security. The closing price for each day shall be the last
sale price or, if no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, in either case as reported by
NYSE, or, if on any such date the security is not quoted by NYSE, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional
market maker making a market in the security selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no such market maker is making a
market in the security, the fair value of the security on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors shall be used.
11.4.2
For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “Current Per Share Market Price” of the Preferred Shares
shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth in Section 11.4.1. If the Preferred Shares are not publicly traded,
the “Current Per Share Market Price” of the Preferred Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be the Current Per Share
Market Price of the Common Shares as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.1 (appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof) multiplied by one thousand. If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred
Shares are publicly held or so listed or traded, “Current Per Share Market Price” means the fair value per share as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent
and shall be conclusive for all purposes.
11.5
No adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least
1% in the Purchase Price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11.5 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share or one one-thousandth of any other share or security, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11.5, any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no
later than three years from the date of the transaction which requires such adjustment.
- 16 -
11.6
If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11.1, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become
entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Shares, the number of such other shares so receivable
upon exercise of any Right shall thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Shares contained in Sections 11.1 through 11.3, inclusive, and
the provisions of Section 7, Section 9 and Section 10 with respect to the Preferred Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other
shares.
11.7
All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence
the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of Preferred Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise
of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
11.8
Unless the Company exercises its election as provided in Section 11.9, upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as
a result of the calculations made in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such
adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share (calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share) obtained by (i) multiplying the number of one one-thousandth
of a Preferred Share covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment of the Purchase Price.
11.9
The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights in substitution
for any adjustment in the number of Preferred Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Preferred Shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately
prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights
(calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the
Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement
(with prompt written notice thereof to the Rights Agent) of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for
the adjustment and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. The record date may be the date on which the Purchase
Price is adjusted or any day thereafter but, if the Right Certificates have been distributed, shall be at least ten days after the date
of the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been distributed, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this
Section 11.9, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates
on such record date Right Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled
as a result of such adjustment or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution
and replacement for the Right Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof if required
by the Company, new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Right
Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered
in the names of the holders of record of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.
- 17 -
11.10
Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Preferred Shares issuable upon the exercise
of the Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price and the number of
Preferred Shares which were expressed in the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder.
11.11
Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then par value of the Preferred
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Preferred Shares at such adjusted Purchase
Price.
11.12
If this Section 11 requires that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified
event, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date
Preferred Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Preferred
Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in
effect prior to such adjustment; provided that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring adjustment.
11.13
Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the
Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that it in its sole discretion
shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) combination or subdivision of the Preferred Shares, (ii) issuance wholly
for cash of any Preferred Shares at less than the Current Per Share Market Price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Shares
or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Shares, (iv) dividends on Preferred Shares
payable in Preferred Shares, or (v) issuance of any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 11.2 made by the Company
after the date of this Agreement to holders of its Preferred Shares shall not be taxable to such shareholders.
11.14
If, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date, the Company (i) declares or pays
any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or (ii) effects a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common
Shares (by reclassification or otherwise other than by payment of dividends in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common
Shares, then in any such case (A) the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable after such event upon exercise
of each Right shall be determined by multiplying the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share so purchasable immediately prior
to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the
denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and (B) each Common Share outstanding
immediately after such event shall have issued with respect to it that number of Rights which each Common Share outstanding immediately
prior to such event had issued with respect to it. The adjustments provided for in this Section 11.14 shall be made successively
whenever such a dividend is declared or paid or such a subdivision, combination or consolidation is affected.
- 18 -
Section 12.
Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever an adjustment or any event affecting the Rights or their exercisability (including an
event that causes Rights to become null and void) occurs or is made as provided in Section 11, the Company shall promptly (i) prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a reasonably detailed statement of the facts, computations, methodology and accounting
for such adjustment, (ii) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares a copy
of such certificate, and (iii) if such adjustment occurs following a Distribution Date, mail a brief summary thereof to each holder
of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 25. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and
on any adjustment or statement therein contained and shall not be obligated or responsible for calculating any adjustment, nor shall
the Rights Agent be deemed to have knowledge of such an adjustment or any such event, unless and until it shall have received such certificate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, but without limiting any of the rights or immunities of the Rights Agent, the failure of the
Company to make such certification or give such notice shall not affect the validity of, or the force or effect of, the requirement for
such adjustment. Any adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 11 hereof shall be effective as of the date of the event giving rise to
such adjustment. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying, in the absence of bad faith on its part, on any such certificate
and on any adjustment or statement therein and shall have no duty or liability with respect thereto, and shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any such adjustment or any such event unless and until it shall have received such certificate.
Section 13.
[Reserved].
Section 14.
Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.
14.1
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which evidence fractional
Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights, the Company may instead pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard
to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value
of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14.1, the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of
the Rights (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11.4.1) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on
which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable.
14.2
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Preferred Shares (other than fractions which are integral multiples
of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share) upon exercise of the Rights, to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Preferred
Shares or to register fractional Preferred Shares in the Company’s share register (other than fractions which are integral multiples
of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share). Fractions of Preferred Shares in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts, pursuant to an agreement between the Company and a depositary
selected by the Company; provided that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such depositary receipts shall have all
the rights, privileges and preferences to which they are entitled as Beneficial Owners of the Preferred Shares represented by such depositary
receipts. In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares that are not integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, the Company
shall pay to each registered holder of Right Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash
equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one Preferred Share as the fraction of one Preferred Share that such holder
would otherwise receive upon the exercise of the aggregate number of rights exercised by such holder. For the purposes of this Section 14.2,
the current market value of a Preferred Share shall be the closing price of a Preferred Share (pursuant to Section 11.4.1) for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
- 19 -
14.3
For purposes of this Section 14, the closing price for any day shall be the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average
of the high bid and low asked prices as reported by NYSE, or if on any such date the Rights or Preferred Shares, as applicable, are not
listed on NYSE, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Rights
or Preferred Shares, as applicable, selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in
the Rights or Preferred Shares, as applicable, the fair value of the Rights or Preferred Shares, as applicable, on such date as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors shall be used.
14.4
The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives any right to receive fractional Rights or fractional
shares upon exercise of a Right (except as provided in this Section 14).
14.5
Whenever a payment for fractional Rights or fractional shares is to be made by the Rights Agent under any section of this
Agreement, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
facts related to such payments and the prices and formulas utilized in calculating such payments, and (ii) provide sufficient monies
to the Rights Agent in the form of fully collected funds to make such payments. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying
upon such a certificate and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any payment for fractional
Rights or fractional shares under any section of this Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Rights or fractional shares unless
and until the Rights Agent shall have received such a certificate and sufficient monies.
Section 15.
Rights of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the rights of action vested in the Rights Agent
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Right Certificates. Any registered holder
of any Right Certificate may, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Right Certificate, on such holder’s
own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the
Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate
in the manner provided in such Right Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the
holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach
of this Agreement by the Company and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations hereunder, and injunctive relief against
actual or threatened violations of the obligations hereunder, of the Company.
- 20 -
Section 16.
Agreement of Right Holders. Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights
Agent and with every other holder of a Right that:
16.1
prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Common Shares;
16.2
after the Distribution Date, the Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books maintained by the Rights Agent
if surrendered at the office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument
of transfer with the appropriate form of certification, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and
such other documentation as the Rights Agent may reasonably request;
16.3
the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, the associated Common Shares certificate or, in the case of uncertificated Common Shares, by the book-entry that evidences record
ownership of such Common Shares) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any
notations of ownership or writing on the Right Certificates or the associated Common Shares certificate or book-entry made by anyone
other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary; and
16.4
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights Agent shall not have any liability to any holder of
a Right or other Person as a result of the inability of the Company or the Rights Agent to perform any of its or their respective obligations
under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, judgment or ruling issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or
executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation.
Section 17.
Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be entitled to vote
or receive dividends, or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company that may
at any time be issuable on the exercise or exchange of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any
Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Right Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, to give
or withhold consent to any corporate action, to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholder (except as provided
in Section 25), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate shall
have been exercised or exchanged in accordance with the provisions hereof.
- 21 -
Section 18.
Concerning the Rights Agent. The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered
by it hereunder in accordance with a fee schedule to be mutually agreed upon, and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent,
to reimburse the Rights Agent for all of its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the preparation,
delivery, negotiation, administration, execution and amendment, of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.
The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability,
damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel)
that may be paid, incurred or suffered by it, or to which it may become subject, without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
on the part of the Rights Agent (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Rights Agent in connection
with the execution, acceptance, administration of, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim or liability arising therefrom or in connection therewith, directly or indirectly, or of enforcing
its rights hereunder. The provisions under this Section 18 and Section 20 below shall survive the exercise, termination and expiration
of the Rights and the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent. The reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Company.
The Rights Agent shall be
fully authorized and protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in connection with its acceptance and administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, in
each case in reliance upon any Right Certificate or certificate for Preferred Shares or for other securities of the Company, instrument
of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, instruction, direction, consent, certificate, statement,
or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, guaranteed, verified or acknowledged
by the proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20. The Rights Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any event of which it was supposed to receive notice thereof hereunder, and the Rights Agent shall be fully protected
and shall incur no liability for failing to take action in connection therewith, unless and until it has received such notice in writing.
Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Rights Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Section 19.
Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights
Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the stock transfer or other shareholder services business
of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such Person would be eligible
for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Rights
Agent’s assets employed in the performance of transfer agent activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation for purposes
of this Section 19. If, at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Right
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor
Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned. If, at that time, any of the Right Certificates shall not have been
countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent
or in the name of the successor Rights Agent. In all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right
Certificates and in this Agreement.
- 22 -
If, at any time, the name
of the Rights Agent changes and any of the Right Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the
countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned. If, at that time, any of the Right Certificates
have not been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name.
In all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Agreement.
Section 20.
Rights and Duties of Rights Agent.
20.1
The Rights Agent undertakes to perform only the duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied
duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall perform its duties and obligations
hereunder upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Right Certificates, by their acceptance
thereof, shall be bound.
20.2
The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it (who may be legal counsel for the Company or an employee or
legal counsel of the Rights Agent), and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted by it in the absence
of bad faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.
20.3
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that
any fact or matter (including the identity of any Acquiring Person and the determination of the Current Per Share Market Price) be proved
or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other
evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate
signed by a Person reasonably believed by the Rights Agent to be any two of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President, a Vice President, the Corporate Secretary or an Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company and delivered
to the Rights Agent, and such certificate shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights
Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this
Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. The Rights Agent shall have no duty to act without such a certificate as set forth in this
Section 20.3.
20.4
The Rights Agent shall be liable to the Company and any other Person hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to applicable law, any
liability of the Rights Agent under this Agreement will be limited to the amount of annual fees paid by the Company to the Rights Agent
(but not including reimbursable expenses) during the 12 months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Rights Agent
is being sought.
- 23 -
20.5
The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement
or in the Right Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same. All such statements and recitals
are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.
20.6
The Rights Agent shall not have any liability for or be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement
or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the legality or validity
or execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any determination by the
Board of Directors with respect to the Rights or breach by the Company of any covenant or failure by the Company to satisfy any condition
contained in this Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it be liable or responsible for any modification by or order of any
court, tribunal or governmental authority in connection with the foregoing, any change in the exercisability of the Rights or any adjustment
or calculation required under the provisions of Section 11 or for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining
of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment or calculation (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced
by Right Certificates after receipt of a certificate furnished pursuant to Section 12 describing such adjustment); nor shall it by any
act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Preferred Shares
to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right Certificate or as to whether any Preferred Shares will, when so issued, be validly
authorized and issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
20.7
The Rights Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of its obligations relating
to any registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or this Agreement, including without limitation obligations
under applicable regulation or law.
20.8
The Rights Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility in the case of the receipt of any written demand from any holder
of Rights with respect to any action or default by the Company, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty
or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon the Company.
20.9
The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged
and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required or reasonably requested by the
Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.
- 24 -
20.10
The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept written instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder and certificates delivered pursuant to any provision hereof from any Person reasonably believed by the Rights Agent to be any
one of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, a Vice President, the Corporate Secretary or an Assistant
Corporate Secretary of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties under this
Agreement, and such advice or instructions shall provide full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the written advice or instructions
of any such officer or for any delay in acting while waiting for these instructions. Any application by the Rights Agent for written
instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken, suffered
or omitted to be taken by the Rights Agent with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement, and the date on and/or after
which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying
upon the most recent advice or instructions received by any such officer, and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than five Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application,
unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective
date, in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent has received written instructions in response to such application specifying the
action to be taken, suffered or omitted to be taken.
20.11
The Rights Agent and any affiliate, shareholder, director, officer, agent, representative or employee of the Rights Agent
may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company, or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in
which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company, or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it
were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement, in each case in compliance with applicable laws. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights
Agent and such other Persons from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
20.12
The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either
itself or by or through its attorneys or agents. The Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, omission, default,
neglect, or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company or any other Person resulting from any such act,
omission, default, neglect or misconduct, absent gross negligence or bad faith in the selection and continued employment of such attorneys
or agents thereof (which gross negligence or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction).
20.13
No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights or powers if the Rights Agent believes that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
20.14
The Rights Agent shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any fact, event, condition or determination
(including any dates or events defined in this Agreement or the designation of any Person as an Acquiring Person, Affiliate or Associate)
under this Agreement unless and until the Rights Agent shall be specifically notified in writing by the Company of such fact, event,
condition or determination, and all notices or other instruments required by this Agreement to be delivered to the Rights Agent must,
in order to be effective, be received by the Rights Agent as specified in Section 26, and in the absence of such notice so delivered,
the Rights Agent may conclusively assume no such event or condition exists.
- 25 -
20.15
The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility to the Company or any holders of the Right Certificates or any other Person
for interest or earnings on any moneys held by the Rights Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
20.16
If, with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate attached
to the form of assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, has not been properly completed to certify the holder
is not an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate thereof, the Rights Agent shall not take any further action with respect to such
requested exercise or transfer without first consulting with the Company; provided, however that Rights Agent shall not be liable for
any delays arising from the duties under this Section 20.16.
20.17
The Rights Agent may rely on and be fully authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon (a) Signature Guarantee,
or (b) any law, act, regulation or any interpretation of the same.
20.18
In the event the Rights Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction,
request or other communication, paper or document received by the Rights Agent hereunder, the Rights Agent, may (upon prompt notice to
the Company of such ambiguity or uncertainty), in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and
shall not be liable in any way to the Company or the holder of any Rights Certificate or any other Person for refraining from taking
such action, unless the Rights Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty
to the satisfaction of the Rights Agent.
Section 21.
Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under
this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice in writing to the Company and, in the event that the Rights Agent or one of its Affiliates
is not also the transfer agent for the Company in accordance with Section 26 hereof, to each transfer agent of the Common Shares and
the Preferred Shares, if known to the Rights Agent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or
any successor Rights Agent upon no less than 30 days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent in
accordance with Section 26 hereof, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares by registered
or certified mail, and, after the Distribution Date, to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. In the event that
the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Rights Agent terminates, the Rights Agent will be deemed to have
resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties as Rights Agent under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination,
and the Company shall be responsible for sending any required notice. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise
become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity
by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by any registered holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit
such holder’s Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the incumbent Rights Agent or registered holder of any Right
Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether
appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be (i) a Person (other than a natural person) organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or of any state of the United States, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust, stock transfer or shareholder services powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, and
which has, along with its Affiliates, at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million
or (ii) an Affiliate of a Person described in clause (i) of this sentence. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested
with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent under this Agreement without
further act or deed, and the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time
held by it hereunder, and shall execute and deliver any further reasonable assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose
but such predecessor Rights Agent shall not be required to make any additional expenditure or assume any additional liability in connection
with the foregoing, and shall thereafter be discharged from all duties and obligations hereunder. Not later than the effective date of
any such appointment the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the
Common Shares and the Preferred Shares, and, if such appointment occurs after the Distribution Date, mail a notice in writing to the
registered holders of the Right Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights
Agent, as the case may be.
- 26 -
Section 22.
Issuance of New Right Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Right Certificates to
the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board
of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities
or property purchasable under the Right Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in connection
with the issuance or sale of Common Shares following the Distribution Date and prior to the earlier of the Redemption Date and the Final
Expiration Date, the Company may, with respect to Common Shares so issued or sold, issue Right Certificates representing the appropriate
number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided that no such Right Certificates may be issued if, and to the
extent that, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that such issuance would jeopardize or endanger the value or
availability to the Company of the Tax Attributes or otherwise create a significant risk of material adverse tax consequences to the
Company.
Section 23.
Redemption.
23.1
The Board of Directors may, at its option, at any time prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth
day following the Stock Acquisition Date (or, if the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date occurs before the Record Date, the
Close of Business on the Record Date) and (ii) the Final Expiration Date, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding
Rights at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction
occurring after the date hereof (the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors may
be made effective at such time, on such basis and subject to such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish.
- 27 -
23.2
Immediately upon the time of the effectiveness of the redemption of the Rights or such earlier time as may be determined by
the Board of Directors in the action ordering such redemption (although not earlier than the time of such action) (the “Redemption
Date”), and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights shall terminate and the only
right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. The Company shall promptly give public notice of
any such redemption (with prompt written notice to the Rights Agent); provided that the failure to give, or any defect in, any
such notice shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Within ten Business Days after action of the Board of Directors ordering
the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall mail, or cause the Rights Agent to mail (at the expense of the Company), a notice of
redemption to the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights
Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. If the payment of the Redemption Price is
not included with such notice, each such notice shall state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither
the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other
than that specifically set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24, other than in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior
to the Distribution Date.
Section 24.
Exchange.
24.1
The Board of Directors may, at its option, at any time after a Stock Acquisition Date, mandatorily exchange all or part of
the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which excludes Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 11.1.2) for Common
Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented by a Right, appropriately adjusted
to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (the “Exchange Ratio”).
The exchange of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish.
24.2
Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to Section 24.1, and
without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of
a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Common Shares equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied
by the Exchange Ratio. The Company shall promptly give reasonably detailed written notice of any such exchange to the Rights Agent, and
shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided that the failure to give, or any defect in, any such notice shall
not affect the validity of such exchange. Within ten Business Days after action by the Board of Directors ordering the exchange of any
Rights pursuant to Section 24.1, the Company shall mail, or cause the Rights Agent to mail, a notice of any such exchange to the holders
of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by
which the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights which
will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have
become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1.2) held by each holder of Rights.
- 28 -
24.3
In any exchange pursuant to this Section 24, the Company, at its option, may substitute Preferred Shares or Common Stock Equivalents
for Common Shares exchangeable for Rights, at the initial rate of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (or an appropriate number of
Common Stock Equivalents) for each Common Share, as appropriately adjusted.
24.4
If there shall not be sufficient Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Common Stock Equivalents authorized but unissued to permit
any exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to authorize
additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Common Stock Equivalents for issuance upon exchange of the Rights.
24.5
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional
Common Shares. In lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares, the Company may instead pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates
with regard to which such fractional Common Shares would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current
per share market value of a whole Common Share. For the purposes of this Section 24.5, the current per share market value of a whole
Common Share shall be the closing price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11.4.1) for
the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section 24.
24.6
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 24 to the contrary, the exchange of the Rights may be made effective at such time,
on such basis and subject to such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Without limiting the preceding
sentence, the Board of Directors may (i) in lieu of issuing Common Shares or any other securities contemplated by this Section 24 to
the Persons entitled thereto in connection with the exchange (such Persons, the “Exchange Recipients,” and such shares
and other securities, together with any dividends or distributions made on such shares or other securities, the “Exchange Property”)
issue, transfer or deposit the Exchange Property to or into a trust or other entity (the “Trust”) created upon such
terms as the Board of Directors may determine to hold all or a portion of the Exchange Property for the benefit of the Exchange Recipients,
(ii) permit the Trust to exercise all of the rights that a shareholder of record would possess with respect to any shares deposited in
the Trust and (iii) direct that all holders of Rights entitled to receive Exchange Property shall be entitled to receive such Exchange
Property only from the Trust and only upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of the Trust and subject to such conditions
as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Prior to effecting an exchange of Rights, the Company may require (or
cause the trustee or other governing body of the Trust to require), as a condition thereof, that any Exchange Recipient provide evidence
that it is not an Acquiring Person, including evidence of the identity of the current or former Beneficial Owners thereof and their Affiliates
and Associates, or any other Excluded Person pursuant to Section 11.1.2. If any Person shall fail to comply with any request to provide
such evidence, the Company shall be entitled conclusively to deem the Rights held by such Person to be null and void pursuant to Section
11.1.2 and not transferable or exercisable or exchangeable in connection herewith. In the event that the Board of Directors determines,
before the Distribution Date, to effect an exchange, the Board of Directors may delay the occurrence of the Distribution Date to such
time as the Board of Directors deems advisable.

Section 36.
Process to Seek Exemption. Any Person who desires to effect any acquisition of Common Shares that might, if consummated, result
in such Person Beneficially Owning 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (such Person, a “Requesting Person”)
may request that the Board of Directors grant an exemption with respect to such acquisition under this Agreement so that such Person
would be deemed to be an Exempt Person for purposes of this Agreement (such request, an “Exemption Request”). An Exemption
Request shall be in proper form and shall be delivered by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Company
at the principal executive office of the Company. The Exemption Request shall be deemed made upon receipt by the Secretary of the Company.
To be in proper form, an Exemption Request shall set forth (i) the name and address of the Requesting Person, (ii) the number and percentage
of Common Shares then Beneficially Owned by the Requesting Person, together with all Affiliates and Associates of the Requesting Person
and (iii) a reasonably detailed description of the transaction or transactions by which the Requesting Person would propose to acquire
Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares aggregating 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding and the maximum number and percentage
of Common Shares that the Requesting Person proposes to acquire. The Board of Directors shall endeavor to respond to an Exemption Request
within 20 Business Days after receipt of such Exemption Request; provided that the failure of the Board of Directors to make a
determination within 20 Business Days after receipt of an Exemption Request shall be deemed to constitute denial by the Board of Directors
of the Exemption Request. The Requesting Person shall respond promptly to reasonable and appropriate requests for additional information
from the Company or the Board of Directors and its advisors to assist the Board of Directors in making its determination. The Board of
Directors shall only grant an exemption in response to an Exemption Request if it receives, at the request of the Board of Directors,
a report from the Company’s advisors to the effect that the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares by the Requesting
Person does not create a significant risk of material adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Board of Directors otherwise determines
in its sole and absolute discretion that the exemption is in the best interests of the Company. Any exemption granted hereunder may be
granted in whole or in part, and may be subject to limitations or conditions (including a requirement that the Requesting Person agree
that it will not acquire Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares in excess of the maximum number and percentage of shares approved by the
Board of Directors), in each case as and to the extent the Board of Directors shall determine necessary or desirable to provide for the
protection of the Company’s Tax Attributes. Any Exemption Request may be submitted on a confidential basis and, except to the extent
required by applicable law, the Company shall maintain the confidentiality of such Exemption Request and the determination of the Board
of Directors with respect thereto, unless the information contained in the Exemption Request or the determination of the Board of Directors
with respect thereto otherwise becomes publicly available. The Exemption Request shall be considered and evaluated by the directors who
are independent of the Requesting Person and disinterested with respect to the Exemption Request and the action of a majority of such
directors shall be deemed to be the determination of the Board of Directors for purposes of such Exemption Request. The Company shall
notify the Rights Agent of any exemption granted under this Section 36.

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
ACCENDRA HEALTH, INC.
The undersigned, on behalf of the corporation
set forth below, pursuant to Title 13.1, Chapter 9, Article 11 of the Code of Virginia, states as follows:
Name. The name of the
corporation is ACCENDRA HEALTH, INC.
Text of Amendment. The
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) are amended to
add the following to Part A of Article III (the “Amendment”):
7. Series
C Cumulative Preferred Stock.
The shares of this series
shall be designated as Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock”), and the number
of shares constituting the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 100,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased
by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into
Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the following preferences, limitations
and relative rights:
Section 1. Dividends
and Distributions.
(A) Subject
to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share, of the Corporation (the “Cumulative
Preferred Stock”) (or any other stock of the Corporation) ranking prior and superior to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day
of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing
on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock, in an amount (if any) per share (rounded to the nearest cent), subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends or other distributions, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share
amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of common stock, par
value $2.00 per share of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series
C Cumulative Preferred Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such
event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The
Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of
this Section 1 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares
of Common Stock).
(C) Dividends
due pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section 1 shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin
to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after
the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend
and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from
such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series C
Cumulative Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall
be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record
date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution
declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
-A-2-
Section 2. Voting
Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Junior Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof
to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares
of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which
holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying
such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) Except
as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, including any other Articles of Amendment creating a series of Cumulative Preferred
Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common
Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted
to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.
(C) Except
as set forth herein, or as otherwise required by law, holders of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights
and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein)
for taking any corporate action.
Section 3. Certain
Restrictions.
(A) Whenever
quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1
are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series
C Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
(i) declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up) with the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders
of all such shares are then entitled; or
(iii) redeem
or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock.
(B) The
Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock
of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 3, purchase or otherwise acquire such
shares at such time and in such manner.
-A-3-
Section 4. Reacquired
Shares. Any shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary to
cause all such shares to become authorized but unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock that may be reissued as part of a new series
of Cumulative Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein or in the Articles of Incorporation,
including any Articles of Amendment creating a series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or as otherwise required by
law.
Section 5. Liquidation,
Dissolution or Winding-Up.
(A) Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, voluntary or otherwise, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up) to the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Series
C Liquidation Preference”) equal to an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal
to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock plus an amount equal to any
accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior
to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) If
there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series C Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences
of all other classes and series of stock of the Corporation, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
in respect thereof, then the assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series C Cumulative
Preferred Stock and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.
(C) Neither
the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another entity nor the merger or consolidation of any other entity into or
with the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section
5.
-A-4-
Section 6. Consolidation,
Merger, Etc. If the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares
of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each
share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or
any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.
In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than
by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case
the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior
to such event.
Section 7. Amendment.
While any Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the Articles of Incorporation shall not be amended in any manner,
including in a merger or consolidation, which would alter, change or repeal the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series C
Cumulative Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
shares of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.
Section 8. Rank.
The Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution and winding-up,
junior to all other series of Cumulative Preferred Stock, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank
senior to the Common Stock as to such matters.
Date of Adoption. The
Amendment was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on August 9, 2026.
Basis for Approval by Directors
Alone. The Amendment was duly adopted by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. Shareholder approval was not required
pursuant to Section 13.1-639 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and Part A.1 of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation.

Exhibit C
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
RIGHTS THAT ARE OR WERE ACQUIRED OR BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY AN ACQUIRING PERSON OR ANY ASSOCIATES OR AFFILIATES THEREOF (AS SUCH TERMS
ARE DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT), OR ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF SUCH RIGHTS, MAY BECOME NULL AND VOID
SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
PREFERRED SHARES
On August 9, 2026 the Board
of Directors of Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
(a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Shares”), outstanding on August 20, 2026 (the “Record Date”) to the shareholders of record on that date.
Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred
Stock, par value $100.00 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”), at a price of $15.00 per one one-thousandth
of a Preferred Share represented by a Right (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. The description and terms
of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2026 between
the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as rights agent (or any successor rights agent),
as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented pursuant to its terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this summary
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Rights Agreement.
Until the earlier to occur
of (i) the Close of Business on the 10th day following the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common
Shares by a Person or group of affiliated or associated Persons (an “Acquiring Person”) (or, in the event that an
exchange is effected in accordance with Section 24 of the Rights Agreement and the Board of Directors determines that a later date is
advisable, then such later date) and (ii) 10 Business Days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board
of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer
the consummation of which would result in the Beneficial Ownership by a Person or group of 4.9% or more of the outstanding Common Shares
(the earlier of such dates, the “Distribution Date”), the Rights will be evidenced by Common Share certificates with
a copy of this Summary of Rights attached thereto (unless such Rights are recorded in book-entry); provided, that each certificate
(or other evidence of book-entry or other uncertificated ownership) representing Common Shares outstanding as of the Close of Business
on the Record Date evidencing the Rights shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the terms of the Rights Agreement.
Acquiring Person means any
Person (other than an Exempt Person) who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial
Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of
the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any entity holding Common
Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit plan or (v) any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates
and Associates of such Person, at the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement, is a Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or
more of the Common Shares then outstanding (a “Grandfathered Shareholder”); provided that if a Grandfathered
Shareholder becomes, after such time, the Beneficial Owner (other than pursuant to the vesting or exercise of any equity awards issued
to a member of the Board of Directors or pursuant to additional grants of any such equity awards to a member of the Board of Directors)
of any additional Common Shares (regardless of whether, thereafter or as a result thereof, there is an increase, decrease or no change
in the percentage of Common Shares then outstanding Beneficially Owned by such Grandfathered Shareholder) then such Grandfathered Shareholder
shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares, such Person
is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding; provided, further, that upon the first
decrease of a Grandfathered Shareholder’s Beneficial Ownership below 4.9%, such Grandfathered Shareholder shall no longer be deemed
to be a Grandfathered Shareholder and this clause (v) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such Person. For the avoidance
of doubt, in the event that after the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement, any agreement, arrangement or understanding
pursuant to which any Grandfathered Shareholder is deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of Common Shares is, directly or indirectly, replaced,
extended, amended or substituted with respect to the same or different Common Shares for any reason (including, without limitation, because
it expired, was settled in whole or in part, terminated or no longer confers any benefit to or imposes any obligation on the Grandfathered
Shareholder (or, as applicable, an Affiliate or Associate of the Grandfathered Shareholder)), then such agreement, arrangement or understanding
shall be considered the acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares by the Grandfathered Shareholder and render such
Grandfathered Shareholder an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement unless, upon such acquisition of Beneficial Ownership
of additional Common Shares, such Person is not the Beneficial Owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding.
“Beneficial Ownership”
shall include any securities (i) that such Person actually owns (directly or indirectly) or would be deemed to directly, indirectly or
constructively own (as determined for purposes of Section 382 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations), including any coordinated acquisition
of securities by any Persons who have a formal or informal understanding with respect to such acquisition (to the extent that ownership
of such securities would be attributed to such Persons under Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations), (ii) that such Person
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Rights
Agreement, including pursuant to any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise as set forth in Rule 13d-3, but
only if the effect of such arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise is to treat such Persons as an “entity”
under Section 1.382-3(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations, or (iii) that are Beneficially Owned (within the meaning of the preceding subsections
of this this definition), directly or indirectly, by any other Person with which such Person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding
(whether or not in writing and other than customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect to
a bona fide public offering of securities), but only if the effect of such agreement, arrangement or understanding is to treat such Persons
as an “entity” under Section 1.382-3(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed
the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “Beneficially Own,” any security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding
(a) arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and
in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and (b) is not also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D
under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report). Notwithstanding anything in this definition to the contrary, the phrase
“then outstanding,” when used with reference to a Person’s Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company, means
the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the number of such securities not then actually issued and outstanding
which such Person would be deemed to Beneficially Own hereunder.
-C-2-
The Rights Agreement provides
that, until the Distribution Date (or the earlier expiration or redemption of the Rights), the Rights will be transferred with and only
with the Common Shares. New Rights will accompany any new Common Shares issued by the Company after the Record Date, until the Distribution
Date (or the earlier expiration or redemption of the Rights). Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the
Rights), new Common Share certificates issued after the Record Date or upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will contain a
notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights),
the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy
of this Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented
by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Right
Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the Distribution Date, and such separate Right
Certificates alone will evidence the Rights (unless such Rights are recorded in book-entry).
The Rights are not exercisable
until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on the Close of Business on August 10, 2029 (the “Final Expiration
Date”).
The Purchase Price payable,
and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights is subject to adjustment from
time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of,
the Preferred Shares; (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Preferred Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
Preferred Shares at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Shares with a conversion price, less than the then current market
price of the Preferred Shares; or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or
assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings or dividends payable in Preferred Shares)
or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).
The number of outstanding
Rights and the number of Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock
split of the Common Shares or a stock dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations
of the Common Shares occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.
-C-3-
Preferred Shares purchasable
upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each Preferred Share will be entitled to a quarterly dividend payment of 1,000 multiplied
by the dividend declared per Common Share. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to a payment
per share equal to 1,000 multiplied by the aggregate payment made per Common Share. Each Preferred Share will have 1,000 votes,
voting together with the Common Shares. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Common Shares are exchanged,
each Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 1,000 multiplied by the amount received per Common Share.
From and after the time any
Person becomes an Acquiring Person, if the Rights evidenced by this Right Certificate are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by an
Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), such Rights
shall become void, and any holder of such Rights shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights.
If any Person becomes an
Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights Beneficially Owned by the Acquiring
Person and its Affiliates and Associates (all of which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise
that number of Common Shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If the Board of Directors so elects,
the Company may deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a Right an amount of cash, securities, or other property equivalent in
value to the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Right.
If, at any time after a Person
becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated
assets or Earning Power (as defined in the Rights Agreement) are sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right will
thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares
of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price
of the Right.
At any time after any Person
becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by any Person or group of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares, the Board
of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such Person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at
an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right (subject to adjustment). The shares and other securities transferred as part of the exchange
may be transferred to a trust created upon such terms as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine.
With certain exceptions,
no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase
Price. No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share, which may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts), and in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will
be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.
At any time prior to the
time any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001
per Right (the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis
and with such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights,
the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
-C-4-
The terms of the Rights may
be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights. However, from and after such time as any Person
becomes an Acquiring Person, the Rights Agreement shall not be amended or supplemented in any manner which would adversely affect the
interests of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person and its Affiliates and Associates).
Until a Right is exercised,
the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or
to receive dividends.
A copy of the Rights Agreement
has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Rights Agreement
is available free of charge from the Company. The foregoing summary of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Accendra Health
Announces Adoption of Tax Asset Preservation Plan
To Protect Long
Term Shareholder Value
RICHMOND,
VA – August 10, 2026 – Accendra Health, Inc. (NYSE: ACH) (the Company) announced
today that its Board of Directors adopted a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Tax Asset Preservation Plan”) designed
to protect long-term shareholder value by facilitating the Company’s ability to preserve its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”)
and certain other tax attributes.
A company generally
experiences an ownership change if the percentage of the value of its stock owned by certain “5-percent shareholders,” as
such term is defined in Section 382 of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The
Tax Asset Preservation Plan is intended to reduce the likelihood of such an “ownership change” under Section 382 of
the Code by deterring any person or group from acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding common
stock.
The Tax Asset Preservation
Plan is similar to those adopted by numerous other public companies with significant NOLs. The Tax Asset Preservation Plan is not designed
to prevent any action that the Board of Directors determines to be in the best interest of the Company, and will help to ensure that
the Board of Directors remains in the best position to discharge its fiduciary duties.
If the Company
experiences an “ownership change,” as such term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”) all holders of rights (other than any triggering person) will be entitled to acquire shares of common stock
at a 50% discount or the Company may exchange each right held by such holders for one share of common stock.
The Tax Asset Preservation Plan took effect
on August 10, 2026 and is scheduled to continue in effect until August 10, 2029, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
Additional information
about the Tax Asset Preservation Plan will be available on a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
