LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) (“Herbalife Nutrition” or “the
Company”) announced today it is extending the expiration time of its
previously announced tender offer from 5:00 P.M., New York City time,
Wednesday, May 16, 2018, to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, Thursday, May
24, 2018, unless the tender offer is further extended.
The tender offer is for Herbalife Nutrition’s common shares, par value
$0.001 per share (“shares”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of up
to $600 million and at a per share price not greater than $108.00 nor
less than $98.00, the exact price to be determined through a “modified
Dutch Auction,” and adjusted for any stock split. The tender offer
consideration remains the same. The full terms and conditions of the
tender offer are discussed in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 18,
2018 (“Offer to Purchase”), and the associated Letter of Transmittal and
other materials relating to the tender offer that Herbalife Nutrition
filed on April 18, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
The tender offer is not contingent upon obtaining any financing.
However, the tender offer is subject to a number of other terms and
conditions, which are described in detail in the Offer to Purchase.
None of Herbalife Nutrition, its board of directors or its affiliates,
nor the information agent or the depositary and paying agent, are making
any recommendation to shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain
from tendering their shares into the tender offer. Shareholders must
decide how many shares they will tender, if any, and the cash price
within the stated range at which they will offer their shares for
purchase by Herbalife Nutrition. In doing so, shareholders should read
carefully the information in the Offer to Purchase and the other tender
offer documents.
As previously announced, shareholders approved a two-for-one stock split
at Herbalife Nutrition’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on
April 24, 2018. The stock split shares will be payable on May 14, 2018
to shareholders of record on May 7, 2018. The Company expects the common
shares will go ex-dividend on the New York Stock Exchange on May 15,
2018. Based on conversations with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
the Company expects split share entitlements will be allocated to
shareholder accounts on May 17, 2018 (the “split share allocation
date”). DTC has informed the Company it is unable to process tender
instructions until after the split share allocation date. Accordingly,
shareholders who hold shares outside of DTC, who wish to tender shares
prior to the split share allocation date should do so by means of a
Letter of Transmittal specifying the total number of common shares being
tendered on a pre-split basis. After the split share allocation date,
and prior to the expiration time, shareholders who hold shares through
DTC, may tender shares by means of instructions communicated to DTC
through the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”).
