LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2007 – Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition direct-selling company, announced today that it has received its direct-selling license from China’s Ministry of Commerce.

The license permits Herbalife to conduct a direct selling business in Suzhou and Nanjing in the Jiangsu province. Over six million people live in Suzhou, the fifth largest Chinese city based upon GDP, and approximately eight million people live in Nanjing, which is the second largest commercial center in East China after Shanghai.

Herbalife currently operates 42 stores and 17 service centers in 25 provinces in China. The company operates a unique direct-selling model in China in accordance with local regulations. Independent distributors who are employed by the company conduct their business in retail locations owned by Herbalife.

Now that a license has been granted, Distributors will be allowed to conduct business outside of the store in the particular province and cities named in the direct selling license.

“It is an honor for Herbalife to receive this license. We have worked closely with China’s Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration Industry and Commerce over the past year and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in the direct-selling industry,” said Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Johnson.

“We can help set an example for the direct-selling industry on how our industry can improve the wellbeing of our Chinese distributors and their customers,” said Percy Chin, Herbalife’s senior vice president and managing director of its Greater China region.
