  Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
  (a)
  On May 11, 2023, the board of directors of Cardinal Health, Inc. (the "Company") adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company's Restated Code of Regulations (the "Regulations"), effective immediately.  The amendments clarify and implement certain procedural requirements for the Company's shareholders proposing director nominations for consideration at the Company's annual or special meetings of shareholders in light of the "universal proxy" rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Rule 14a-19 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These amendments (i) require notice, including evidence of compliance with the universal proxy rules, (ii) provide that a shareholder nomination will be disregarded if the nominating shareholder fails to comply with the universal proxy rules, and (iii) address the color of proxy cards reserved for use by the Company.  The amendments also include other technical, procedural, clarifying, and conforming changes and deletions.
  The foregoing description of the Regulations does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Regulations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
