Members to Voice Their Support for the Company at Press Conference
During Extravaganza Weekend in Chicago
LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Herbalife (NYSE:HLF), a leading global nutrition company, announced
today that dozens of independent Herbalife members and independent
business owners will hold a press conference during the Herbalife
Extravaganza in Chicago in order to take a stand against the continuing
campaign of attacks and misinformation being waged by Bill Ackman and
Pershing Square Capital Management. Thousands of Herbalife members from
across North America are gathering this weekend to celebrate the
positive impact Herbalife has had on their lives and in their
communities.
“Members like me are under attack by a billionaire hedge fund manager
who has embarked on an unprecedented effort to take down my way of life,
and we want him to know that Herbalife members won’t stand for it,” said
Silvia Muir, an Herbalife member from Palatine, IL who will be taking
part in the press conference.
“Bill Ackman has displayed a bald-faced hypocrisy in his sham support
for Latinos,” said Pablo Caicedo a member from Lincoln Park, IL who will
also be taking part in the press conference. “As a Latino, I think it’s
important for the world to know the truth: that Bill Ackman is only
interested in his own short-sighted financial goals and has a history of
investing in companies that profited from the detention of undocumented
immigrants. He is hardly a standard bearer for the Latino community.”
“Herbalife has positively impacted my life and I have seen it positively
impact the lives and health of consumers. It is for these reasons – and
many more – that I am compelled to speak up – for myself, my family and
my community,” said Ana Bunay, a member from Skokie, IL, who will also
take part in the press conference. “We are not going away, and neither
are the hundreds of thousands of Herbalife members, customers and
supporters across the U.S.”
The press conference will be held at 11:00 AM CT on July 18, 2014 at
Hotel Allegro, 3rd Floor Cinema Room, 171 W Randolph Street, Chicago, IL
and will be open to all credentialed media.
