Chindex International, Inc. Adopts Stockholder Rights Plan
June 05, 2007



    BETHESDA, Md., June 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Chindex
International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: CHDX) announced today that its Board of Directors
has adopted a
Stockholder Rights Plan through the adoption of a Rights
Agreement.
    The Rights Agreement is designed to preserve long-term
values and protect
stockholders against unfair tactics to acquire control of
the Company.  It has
not been adopted in response to any major purchase of CHDX
common stock, and
the Company is not aware of any such major purchases. 
Rather, the Board of
Directors has adopted the Rights Plan at this time in order
to safeguard the
interests of the Company's stockholders.

    In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the
Board of Directors
has declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each
outstanding share
of CHDX common stock, regardless of class, payable to
stockholders of record
at the close of business on June 14, 2007.  The new Rights
will expire on June
14, 2017.

    Each Right entitles stockholders to purchase from the
Company one one-
hundredth of a share of junior participating preferred
stock at an exercise
price of $58.  The Rights will become exercisable only if a
person or group,
other than certain current control persons, acquires 15% or
more of CHDX's
common stock (an "Acquiring Person"), or
commences a tender or exchange offer
which, if consummated would result in the person or group
becoming an
Acquiring Person.  Prior to that time, the Rights will not
trade separately
from the common stock.

    If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each
Right will then
entitle all other stockholders to purchase, by payment of
the exercise price,
CHDX common stock (or a common stock equivalent) with a
value of twice the
exercise price.  In addition, at any time after a person or
group becomes an
Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such
Acquiring Person of 50%
or more of the outstanding common stock, the Board of
Directors may, at its
option, require each outstanding Right (other than Rights
held by the
Acquiring Person) to be exchanged for one share of CHDX
common stock (or one
common stock equivalent).

    If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and
the Company is
acquired in a merger or other business combination or sells
more than 50% of
its assets or earning power, each Right will entitle all
other holders to
purchase, by payment of the $58 exercise price, common
stock of the acquiring
company with a value of twice the exercise price.

    The Company may redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right at
any time prior to
the time that any person or group becomes an Acquiring
Person.
Details of the adoption of the Rights Plan will be outlined
in the Company's
Form 8-A filing with the SEC and in a letter that will be
mailed to all
stockholders.
