May 29 (Reuters) - Hedge fund Arex Capital Management on

Wednesday sent a letter to Enhabit Inc's ( EHAB ) shareholders

reiterating its push for refreshment at the company's board.

Arex in a letter to Enhabit's ( EHAB ) shareholders said that the

company's board has not made any effort to engage with the hedge

fund in "in good faith".

"A significant reconstitution of its membership is

required and warranted," Arex, which owns about 4.9% of the

company, said in the letter.

The hedge fund, which has also been pushing the U.S.

home health and hospice provider to put itself up for sale,

privately nominated the seven candidates in March during the

company's nominating window, Reuters reported in

May

.

Arex said earlier this month that new directors are

needed to help reverse poor financial performance.

Enhabit ( EHAB ) conducted a strategic review earlier this month

and said it decided to continue as an independent, public

company after having evaluated a range of strategic options.

Enhabit ( EHAB ) did not immediately respond to a Reuters request

for comment.
