Purpose of Transaction

On February 27, 2009, Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. (“Prescott”) made a written demand, pursuant to Section 16-10a-702(1)(b) of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “URBCA”), that the Company hold a special meeting of shareholders, or in lieu thereof an annual meeting of shareholders, for the purpose of electing a slate of directors proposed by Prescott.  On March 10, 2009, Prescott made a written demand, pursuant Section 16-10a-1601(3) of the URBCA, that Prescott be allowed to inspect and copy the record of shareholders required to be maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 16-10a-1601(3) of the URBCA.  The stated purpose for such inspection was to solicit proxies from the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of voting on the election of directors and other matters presented at the meeting of shareholders.  Prescott informed the Company that on April 3, 2009, it commenced a legal action in the Fourth Judicial District Court for Utah County, Utah (Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. v. Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc., Civil No. 090401518) in order to petition the court to order an annual meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors of the Company.  The Company was informed that the complaint was filed but not served.

 

On May 22, 2009, the Company and the Hughes Parties in their capacity as shareholders of the Company entered into a settlement and voting agreement (the “Prescott Agreement”) with Prescott.  Contemporaneously with the Prescott Agreement, the Company and the Hughes Parties entered into voting agreements (collectively with the Prescott Agreement, the “Voting Agreements”) with each of Red Mountain Capital Partners II, L.P., Red Mountain Capital Partners III, L.P. and Paradigm Capital Management, Inc. (collectively with Prescott, the “Shareholder Parties”).  As part of the Prescott Agreement, Prescott agreed to withdraw its demands, dismiss its legal action and release the Company, the Hughes Parties and other related parties from claims relating to Prescott’s legal action.

 

The Voting Agreements provide, among other things, that, effective on or about June 7, 2009, ten days following the date of the mailing of an Information Statement on Schedule 14F-1 (the “Information Statement”) to the shareholders of the Company, (i) the authorized number of directors of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will be increased from six to eight directors in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Bylaws of the Company, creating two additional vacancies in addition to one previously unfilled vacancy on the Board, (ii) with the exception of Kristine F. Hughes, all of the current members of the Board will resign as members of the Board, resulting in a total of seven vacancies on the Board and (iii) Michael D. Dean, Albert R. Dowden, Douglas Faggioli, Pauline Hughes Francis, Willem Mesdag, Jeffrey D. Watkins and Candace K. Weir will be appointed to fill such vacancies on the Board and will serve as directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, unless they resign, are removed or are otherwise disqualified from serving as a director of the Company.  Ms. Francis is currently a director of the Company, and her resignation and reappointment are for the purpose of changing the Board class to which she is assigned.

 

10



 

CUSIP No. 639027101

 

The Voting Agreements also provide that, at the next annual meeting of shareholders, which is currently planned for 2009, the Company will nominate, and the Shareholder Parties and the Hughes Parties will vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of, each of the following individuals, with such nominees serving in the Board class set forth opposite his or her name:

The voting arrangement set forth in the Voting Agreements will terminate immediately following the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or December 31, 2009, whichever is earlier.

 

As a result of the Voting Agreements, a change in the majority of the Board of Directors will become effective on or about June 7, 2009, ten days following the date of the mailing of the Information Statement to the shareholders of the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Voting Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 and incorporated herein by reference.
