On May 29 2020, Herbalife Nutrition Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”) and HLF Financing, Inc. (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”) issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to certain initial purchasers (the “Offering”). The Notes were offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of May 29, 2020, among the Issuers, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”).
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.875% per year payable semiannually in arrears in cash on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021. The Notes will mature on September 1, 2025.
At any time prior to September 1, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium as of the redemption date, and accrued and unpaid interest (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). In addition, at any time prior to September 1, 2022, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 107.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, at any time on or after September 1, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 of the years indicated below:
