On January 13, 2016, Natural Health Trends Corp.

In addition, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized an increase in its previously announced stock repurchase program from $15 million to $70 million, $10 million of which has already been completed. The Company will seek to expeditiously pursue the repurchase program, consistent with applicable U.S. securities laws and prudent management of the Company's resources.
