MANNATECH, INCORPORATED
May 25, 2018
As you may have heard, Mannatech has announced a modified Dutch auction cash tender offer to purchase up to $16 million of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a per share price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 (the “tender offer”). A copy of the press release announcing the tender offer is attached.
You may participate in the tender offer if you hold (1) any shares of Mannatech’s common stock outright (whether you hold the shares through a broker or by holding a stock certificate) or (2) options to purchase shares of Mannatech’s common stock that are vested or will vest before the tender offer expires (currently 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018). Please note that shares of restricted stock that have not vested before the tender offer expires are not eligible for the tender offer.
Each individual will need to come to his or her own determination as to whether to participate in the tender offer. Although Mannatech’s Board of Directors approved making the tender offer, neither Mannatech nor its Board of Directors is making any recommendation as to whether holders should participate. You should carefully review the offer materials and discuss the offer with your tax and other personal advisors before deciding whether to participate. In addition, Mannatech is not rendering any tax advice in connection with the offer.
Information about the tender offer, including the procedures you must follow to participate, is available as described below.
SHAREHOLDERS
If you hold shares of Mannatech’s common stock in a brokerage account, you may wish to contact the broker to make sure you get a copy of the tender offer documents and any other forms your broker may require you to complete. If you hold shares by holding a stock certificate, our transfer agent will be sending you the tender offer documents. In either case, you may request copies from the information agent for the tender offer as described below. If you hold restricted (unvested) shares of Mannatech’s common stock that will vest during the pendency of the tender offer and you are considering participating in the tender offer, you should contact the information agent.
VESTED OPTIONS TO PURCHASE MANNATECH’S COMMON STOCK
If you hold options to purchase shares of Mannatech’s common stock that are vested or will vest before the tender offer expires, you may participate in the tender offer by (1) exercising your vested options and (2) tendering shares of Mannatech’s common stock acquired upon exercise. Given the applicable deadlines to participate, if you are considering exercising your stock options, including any that vest during the pendency of the tender offer, you should contact your broker or information agent as soon as possible.
Once you have exercised your stock options, you may elect to participate in the tender offer by contacting the information agent. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO EXERCISE OPTIONS, AND ALL OR ANY PORTION OF YOUR SHARES ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN THE TENDER OFFER, YOU MAY NOT RESCIND YOUR OPTION EXERCISE.
