Herbalife's Board of Directors has determined the tender offer, which includes a cash payment and a CVR for each share. The method is an appropriate one according to the Company to return capital to shareholders that seek liquidity under market conditions while, at the same time, delivering tendering shareholders potential additional value in the event Herbalife is taken private within 2 years.
Herbalife announced that it was recently in discussions with a prospective financial investor regarding a potential transaction that could have led to the Company being taken private. These conversations were formally terminated on August 16, 2017, because the discussions contemplated the possibility of the Company being taken private. The Board of Directors decided further to deliver tendering shareholders with some protection in the event the Company is taken private within two years resulting in remaining shareholders receiving a higher price that paid in the self-tender.
Herbalife recently acquired about $299 million worth of its shares under its previous $1.5 billion share repurchase plan, where the Company believes the tender offer to result in buying back additional shares at an attractive price. Subject to the tender offer, Carl Icahn, and his controlled affiliates owning Herbalife's shares, and Herbalife entered into an agreement with Icahn Entities on August 21, 2017, pursuant to which, Icahn Entities agreed among other things and for the two years following commencement of the tender offer, to not increase their aggregate beneficial ownership above 50% of Herbalife's outstanding common shares unless they have agreed to acquire 100% of its outstanding common shares.
The tender offer is not contingent upon obtaining any financing. However, the tender offer is subject to a number of other terms and conditions.
