Herbalife Chairman and CEO Implements Orderly Stock Trading Plan; Will Retain Half of Net Proceeds in Company Stock

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition and direct-selling company,
announced that Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson has established a
pre-arranged personal stock trading plan to address the upcoming expiration of
certain stock options and for asset allocation and estate planning purposes. The
plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Act, as well as Herbalife`s policies with respect to
sales by officers and directors.

"The written trading plan will help minimize the market effect of stock sales by
spreading them out over time," said Johnson. "I intend to exercise options and
sell those number of underlying shares which will allow me to cover the
applicable strike price and taxes, retain one half of the net proceeds in cash
and one half of the net proceeds in Herbalife stock. I have confidence in the
company`s continued growth and success."

The purpose of the pre-arranged personal stock trading plan, which was discussed
with and acknowledged by the Herbalife board of directors on October 29, 2009,
is intended to provide Johnson, who receives a substantial portion of his
compensation in the form of equity awards, with the ability to exercise and sell
certain previously granted options before such options expire in three years.
This pre-arranged personal stock trading plan covers 732,370 shares out of the
2,702,054 total shares, which, under SEC rules, Johnson beneficially owns,
including stock owned, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted
stock units.

Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers and directors to adopt written,
pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not possess material non-public
information regarding the company. Transactions under this plan will be
disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings as required by the SEC.
