This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of 4:40 p.m. EDT on July 26, 2004 by and among the stockholders of Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each a “Selling Stockholder” and together the “Selling Stockholders”), and the purchasers listed on Schedule II attached hereto (each a “Purchaser” and together the “Purchasers”).

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and or other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.    Purchase and Sale of Common Stock.

 

1.1    Sale and Issuance of Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Purchasers agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”), listed opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule II and each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, agrees to sell that number of Class A Common Stock listed opposite such Selling Stockholder’s name on Schedule I. The shares of Class A Common Stock sold to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Stock.” The per share purchase price of the Stock to be paid by the Purchasers under this Agreement shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 96.25% of the closing sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on July 27, 2004 (the “Notice Date”) which is the date the Company will give notice to the Stockholders that the Company is exercising its right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Lock-Up Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2003, by and among the Company and certain of its stockholders party thereto or (ii) 96.25% of the average closing sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Notice Date and the 14 trading days immediately preceding such date (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). Such Per Share Purchase Price represents the total consideration to be paid for each share of Stock purchased hereunder.

 

1.2    Closing; Delivery.

 

(a)    The purchase and sale of the Stock (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 3330 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304 (or such other location mutually agreeable to the parties hereto) no later than the fourth (4th) business day after the date of this Agreement.

 

(b)    Upon execution of this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder shall deliver to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as custodian (the “Custodian”), a


certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Stock to be sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c) Prior to Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver to Bank One, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among the Company, the Selling Stockholders, the Purchasers and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) the dollar value determined by multiplying the Per Share Purchase Price by the number of shares of Stock listed opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule II.

2.2    Valid Title. Such Selling Stockholder has and will at the Closing have valid title to, or a valid “security entitlement” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code in respect of, the Stock to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any kind, including without limitation any restrictions under any lock-up agreement, stockholder agreement or any other agreement, other than pursuant to this Agreement; and upon delivery of such Stock and payment of the purchase price therefor as herein contemplated, assuming each such Purchaser has no notice of any adverse claim, each of the Purchasers will receive valid title to the Stock purchased by it from such Selling Stockholder, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim,

No filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, or any third party (including but not limited to the Company) requirements, is necessary or required for the performance by each Selling Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Custody Agreement, or in connection with the sale and delivery of the Stock or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except such as may have previously been made or obtained or as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or state securities laws.

3.1    Authorization of Agreements. Such Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to enter into and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser, will each constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. By way of elaboration, but not limitation, if this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement are executed and delivered on behalf of a partnership, corporation, trust or estate: (i) such partnership, corporation, trust or estate has the full legal right and power and all authority and approval required (a) to execute and deliver, or authorize execution and delivery of, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and all other instruments executed and delivered by or on behalf of such partnership, corporation, trust or estate, in connection with the purchase of the Stock to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder, (b) to delegate authority pursuant to a power of attorney and (c) to purchase and hold such Stock; (ii) the signature of the party signing on behalf of such partnership, corporation, trust or estate is binding on such partnership, corporation, trust or estate; and (iii) such partnership, corporation or trust has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring such Stock.

 

3.2    Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of the governing documents of such Purchaser or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which such Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound, or any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries.

 

3.3    Due Execution of Escrow Agreement. Such Purchaser has duly executed and delivered the Escrow Agreement.

 

3.4    Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser’s representation to the Selling Stockholders, which by such Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, such Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Stock to be acquired by such Purchaser will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or public distribution of any part thereof in violation of any requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Other than as permitted by applicable law, such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing any Stock purchased hereunder, including, without limitation, entering into any arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Stock,

 

4


whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. By executing this Agreement, such Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Stock.

 

3.5    Disclosure of Information. Such Purchaser has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and has received answers from, the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of this offering and the publicly available information relating to the business or financial condition of the Company. Such Purchaser has also had access to and has reviewed the Company’s publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, the Risk Factors set forth in Amendment No. 4 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-109836) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2004 as well as the financial and business information contained in the Company’s most recent filings on Forms 10-Q and 10-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the Company has provided, on a confidential basis, to such Purchaser the information set forth on Schedule III hereto. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Stock, such Purchaser has not been furnished with nor relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) relating to the business or financial condition of the Company from the Selling Stockholders, the Company or their respective representatives or agents other than as described above or set forth in the Company’s publicly available documents.

 

3.6    No General Solicitation.

3.7    Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Such Purchaser understands that the shares of Stock are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the shares of Stock indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Such Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Stock, and on requirements relating to the Company that are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and that the Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.

(i)    at any time by mutual written consent of each of the Selling Stockholders and each of the Purchasers; or
