July 13, 2020

To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated July 13, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), in connection with the offer by Herbalife Nutrition Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”), to purchase common shares, par value $0.0005 per share in the capital of the Company (the “common shares”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $750 million and at a per share price not greater than $50.00 nor less than $44.75, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable tax withholding and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this Offer to Purchase (which may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “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and subject to the conditions of the Offer the Company will purchase common shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price (as such term is defined below) of up to $750 million, constituting approximately 11.4% of the total number of outstanding common shares as of the close of trading on July 9, 2020 (assuming the Company acquires common shares pursuant to this Offer at the lowest possible Cash Purchase Price of $44.75 per share). 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and all references to “shares properly tendered” shall refer to “common shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer.”

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, promptly following the Expiration Time, the Company will determine a single per share price, which will be not greater than $50.00 nor less than $44.75 per share, net to the seller in cash (the “Cash Purchase Price”), less any applicable tax withholding and without interest, that the Company will pay for shares properly tendered, for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price up to $750 million. The Cash Purchase Price will be the lowest price per share not greater than $50.00 nor less than $44.75 per share (in multiples of $0.25) at which shares have been properly tendered in the Offer that will enable the Company to purchase the maximum number of shares for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $750 million. If fewer than such number of shares as would enable the Company to purchase shares pursuant to the Offer for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $750 million of shares are properly tendered, the Company will select the lowest price that will allow the Company 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.


All shares the Company purchases in the Offer will be purchased at the same Cash Purchase Price, regardless of whether the shareholder tendered, or was deemed to have tendered, at a lower price. The Company will not purchase any shares from shareholders who do not properly tender any of their common shares pursuant to the Offer prior to the Expiration Time. If the Company’s purchase of all shares properly tendered at or below the Cash Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn in the Offer would result in an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of more than $750 million, the Company will purchase all shares properly tendered at or below the Cash Purchase Price on a pro rata basis, except for “odd lots” (lots held by owners of less than 100 shares), which the Company will purchase on a priority basis, and except for each conditional tender whose condition was not met, which the Company will not purchase. Shares properly tendered, but not purchased pursuant to the Offer will be returned to the tendering shareholders at our expense promptly after the Offer expires. See Sections 1 and 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if at the Expiration Time, the Company’s purchase of all shares properly tendered at or below the Cash Purchase Price in the Offer would result in an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of more than $750 million, the Company will purchase shares first, from all holders of “odd lots” of less than 100 shares who properly tender all of their shares at or below the Cash Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, second, from all other shareholders who properly tender shares at or below the Cash Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, on a pro rata basis (except for shareholders who tendered shares conditionally for which the condition was not satisfied), and third, only if necessary to permit the Company to purchase shares for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $750 million, from holders who have properly tendered shares at or below the Cash Purchase Price conditionally (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose shares are conditionally tendered must have properly tendered and not properly withdrawn all of their shares. See Sections 1, 3 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase.

We are the owner of record of shares held for your account. As such, we are the only ones who can tender your shares, and then only pursuant to your instructions. We are sending you the Letter of Transmittal for your information only; you cannot use it to tender shares we hold for your account.

Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the shares we hold for your account on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

Please note the following:

1. You may tender your shares at cash prices not greater than $50.00 nor less than $44.75 per share (in multiples of $0.25), as indicated in the attached Instruction Form, net to you in cash, less any applicable tax withholding and without interest. If you want to maximize the chance of having the Company purchase all of your shares, you may also agree to accept the Cash Purchase Price determined in the Offer.

2. You should consult with your broker or other financial or tax advisor on the possibility of designating the priority in which your shares will be purchased in the event of proration.

3. The Offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.

4. The Offer, withdrawal rights and proration period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2020, unless the Company extends the Offer.

5. The Offer is for a number of shares that will enable the Company to purchase shares for an aggregate Cash Purchase Price of up to $750 million, constituting approximately 11.4% of the total number of outstanding shares as of the close of trading on July 9, 2020 (assuming the Company acquires common shares pursuant to this Offer at the lowest possible Cash Purchase Price of $44.75 per share).

6. Tendering shareholders who are registered shareholders or who tender their shares directly to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Depositary and Paying Agent for the Offer, will not be obligated to pay any brokerage commissions or fees to the Company, solicitation fees, or, except as set forth in the


Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes on the Company’s purchase of shares under the Offer.

7. If you wish to tender portions of your shares at different prices, you must complete a separate Instruction Form for each price at which you wish to tender each such portion of your shares. We must submit separate Letters of Transmittal on your behalf for each price at which you are tendering shares.

8. If you are an Odd Lot Holder and you instruct us to tender on your behalf all of the shares that you own at or below the Cash Purchase Price before the expiration of the Offer and check the box captioned “Odd Lots” on the attached Instruction Form, the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, will accept all such shares for purchase before proration, if any, of the purchase of other shares properly tendered at or below the Cash Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn.

9. If you wish to condition your tender upon the purchase of all shares tendered or upon the Company’s purchase of a specified minimum number of the shares which you tender, you may elect to do so and thereby avoid possible proration of your tender. The Company’s purchase of shares from all tenders which are so conditioned, to the extent necessary, will be determined by random lot. To elect such a condition, complete the section captioned “Conditional Tender” in the attached Instruction Form.

If you wish to have us tender any or all of your shares, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the attached Instruction Form. If you authorize us to tender your shares, we will tender all your shares unless you specify otherwise on the attached Instruction Form.

Your prompt action is requested. Your Instruction Form should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf before the Expiration Time of the Offer. Please note that the Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2020, unless the Offer is extended.

The Offer is being made solely under the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and is being made to all record holders of shares of the Company’s common shares. The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of shares residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved the Offer pursuant to the recommendation of a committee of the Board, which is comprised solely of individuals, each of whom the Board has determined to be an independent director under Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Committee”). However, none of the Board, the Committee, the Depositary and Paying Agent, nor Georgeson LLC, the Information Agent for the Offer, is making any recommendation to you as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering your shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which you may choose to tender your shares. You must make your own decision as to whether to tender and, if so, how many shares to tender and the price or prices at which you will tender them. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal, including the Company’s reasons for making the Offer. You should discuss whether to tender your shares with your broker or other financial or tax advisor.

Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the cash price boxes above, the undersigned hereby tenders shares at, and is willing to accept, the Cash Purchase Price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

To be completed only if shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares.

 

 

By checking this box, the undersigned represents that the undersigned owns, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares and is tendering all of those shares.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering shares either (check one box):

 

 

at the Cash Purchase Price, as the same will be determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the cash price per share above); or

 

 

at the cash price per share indicated above in the section captioned “Cash Price (In Dollars) per Share at Which Shares Are Being Tendered.”

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(see Instruction 13 of the Letter of Transmittal)

A tendering shareholder may condition his or her tender of shares upon the Company purchasing a specified minimum number of the shares tendered, all as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the shares tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate the minimum number of shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and you are urged to consult your own tax advisor before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

 

 

The minimum number of shares that must be purchased from me, if any are purchased from me, is:                 shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of his or her shares and checked this box:

 

 

The tendered shares represent all shares held by the undersigned.

The method of delivery of this document is at the election and risk of the tendering shareholder. If delivery is by mail, then registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
