To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
Whereas Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the Company, we, or us), is offering to purchase common shares, par value $0.001 per share in the capital, of the Company (the common 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, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable tax withholding and without interest, and as adjusted for any stock split, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 18, 2018 (the Offer to Purchase) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the Offer).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will purchase common shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) of up to $600 million, constituting approximately 6.9% of the total number of outstanding common shares as of the close of trading on April 16, 2018 (assuming the Company acquires common shares pursuant to this Offer at the lowest possible Cash Purchase Price of $98.00 per share, as adjusted for any stock split). The Cash Purchase Price will be the lowest price per share not greater than $108.00 nor less than $98.00 per share (in multiples of $0.25), as adjusted for any stock split, at which shares have been properly tendered in the Offer that will enable us to purchase the maximum number of shares for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $600 million. If fewer than such number of shares as would enable us to purchase shares pursuant to the Offer for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $600 million are properly tendered, we will select the lowest price that will allow us to purchase all the shares that are properly tendered. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may increase the number of shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding shares without extending the Offer. See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase.
The number of common shares subject to the Offer and the price per share relate to the common shares as outstanding on the date of the Offer. The Expiration Time is currently scheduled two days after the stock split distribution date (May 14, 2018), when the Company expects to effect a two-for-one stock split as described in the Companys 2018 proxy statement. Following the stock split, the Cash Purchase Price will be adjusted ratably to reflect the increased number of common shares outstanding on a post-split basis. See Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase.
Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to shares shall refer to the common shares and all references to shares properly tendered shall refer to shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer.
