14. Subsequent Events

On February 19, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share to shareholders of record as of March 5, 2013, payable on March 19, 2013.

Subsequent to the year-ended December 31, 2012, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, excluding the Term Loan portion, increased to $500.0 million, and there was approximately $195.2 million of unused available credit as of February 19, 2013. These borrowed monies were primarily used for common share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase program described below. As of February 19, 2013, the Company had approximately $987.5 million of total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, including the Term Loan and revolving credit facility.

During January and February 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million of its common shares through open market purchases at an aggregate cost of approximately $162.4 million, or an average cost of $40.61 per share.

In February 2013, the Venezuela government announced it is devaluing its Bolivar currency. They announced that the current 5.3 SITME rate will be eliminated and that the CADIVI rate will be devalued from 4.3 Bolivars to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2012, Herbalife Venezuela’s net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Bolivars was approximately $82.9 million and included approximately $99.2 million in Bolivar denominated cash and cash equivalents which were remeasured at the published SITME rate of 5.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. This new 6.3 CADIVI rate is 16% less favorable than the previously published 5.3 SITME rate. If during 2013, this new 6.3 CADIVI rate or an alternative unfavorable exchange rate is used for remeasurement purposes, then the Company will have to record a foreign exchange loss to its fiscal year 2013 consolidated statement of income to the extent this exchange rate is less favorable than the previously published 5.3 SITME rate, and the Company’s Bolivar denominated cash and cash equivalents will have to be reduced accordingly. The Company continues to monitor the current exchange restrictions in Venezuela and is assessing what exchange rate it should use prospectively for remeasurement purposes. See Note 2, Basis of Presentation, for a further description of currency restrictions in Venezuela.

In late 2012, a hedge fund manager publicly raised allegations regarding the legality of the Company’s network marketing program and announced that the hedge fund manager had taken a significant short position regarding the Company’s common shares, leading to intense public scrutiny and significant stock price volatility. The Company believes that the hedge fund manager’s allegations are inaccurate and misleading. Subsequently, the Company has engaged legal and advisory firms to assist with responding to the allegations and to perform other related services in connection to these recent events.
