contribution rates and investment allocations, make loan repayments or request
new loans, or request withdrawals or distributions under the 401(k) plan,
including with respect to the common shares, without par value, of Cardinal
Health, Inc. (the "Company") held by the trust for the 401(k) plan in the
Cardinal Health Stock Fund. The blackout period is expected to begin at 4:00 pm
Eastern Time on Thursday, May 20, 2021 and to continue through Monday, May 24,
2021. The notification described under Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 relating to the blackout period was
provided to the Company on April 6, 2021.
