PROXY STATEMENT

Information Concerning the Solicitation

The Board of Directors of Reliv’ International, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing this Proxy Statement for the solicitation of proxies from holders of the outstanding common stock of the Company to be used at the 2015 annual stockholders meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company which will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 9:00 a.m., Central Daylight Savings Time. The Company has elected to provide access to these proxy materials over the Internet in accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On April 6, 2015 we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners. The Notice instructs you on how you may access the proxy materials on the Internet. It also instructs you on how you may vote your proxy. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting printed materials included in the Notice.

The cost of preparing, assembling and furnishing the proxy material and of reimbursing brokers, nominees and fiduciaries for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons will be borne by the Company. The Company does not intend to solicit proxies otherwise than pursuant to the Notice and, where requested, mailing of proxy materials, but certain officers and regular employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend our Annual Meeting, please take the time to vote either by the Internet or, if you requested a paper copy of the proxy materials, by telephone using the instructions on the proxy card or by completing and mailing the proxy card enclosed with the proxy materials as soon as possible. If you elect to vote using the proxy card in the proxy materials you requested be mailed to you, you must sign, date and mail it and indicate how you want to vote. If you do not so indicate, your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

Quorum and Voting

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2015 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that day, there were 12,822,535 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share has one vote. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. A simple majority of the outstanding shares is required to be present in person or by proxy at the meeting for there to be a quorum for purposes of proceeding with the Annual Meeting. A simple majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, at which a quorum is present, is required to elect directors and approve the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and withheld votes have the effect of votes against these matters. Broker non-votes (shares held of record by a broker for which a proxy is not given) will be counted for purposes of determining shares outstanding for purposes of a quorum, but will not be counted as present for purposes of determining the vote on any matter considered at the meeting.

If a stockholder specifies how the proxy is to be voted with respect to any of the proposals for which a choice is provided, the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. If a stockholder fails to so specify with respect to such proposals, the proxy will be voted “FOR” the nominees for directors contained in these proxy materials and “FOR” the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. A stockholder submitting a proxy prior to the Annual Meeting has the power to revoke it at any time before the shares subject to it are voted by (i) sending a written statement to that effect to the Secretary of the Company, (ii) submitting a valid proxy having a later date, or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Discretionary Voting Power

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the Annual Meeting. On matters which may be raised at the Annual Meeting that are not covered by this Proxy Statement, the persons named in the proxy will have full discretionary authority to vote. If any nominee for election as a director becomes unable to accept nomination or election, which we do not anticipate, the persons named in the proxy may vote for the election of another person recommended by the Board of Directors.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SHARES BY MANAGEMENT AND

SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS

The following table provides information concerning the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock by each director and nominee for director, certain executive officers, all of the Company’s directors and officers as a group, and the beneficial owners known to the Company to hold more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of March 20, 2015.

The amounts and percentage of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after March 20, 2015. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest. Percentage of class is based on 12,822,535 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 20, 2015.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

General

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

For the period from May 2013 to May 2014, the Board had five members. Since May 2014 to the present, the Board has seven members. The Board met four times during 2014. During 2014, no director attended less than 75% of the combined Board of Directors and Committee meetings. The Board has determined that Messrs. Akin, Klimek, Henry and Thibodeau are independent based on the application of the rules and standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Board Leadership Structure

As is often common practice among public companies of our size in the United States, our Board of Directors has appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to serve as Chairman of the Board. In his position as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Montgomery is responsible for the direction and leadership of the Company and oversees the development and execution of the Company’s strategic plans. In his role as Chairman of the Board, he presides over the meetings of the Board of Directors and communicates the decisions and directives of the Board to management. The Board of Directors believes that the combination of these two roles provides the most efficient and effective leadership model for the Company by enhancing the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s ability to provide perspective and direction with regard to business strategies and plans to both the Board and management, allowing for unified leadership and focus.

Notwithstanding the Board’s decision to appoint the Chief Executive Officer as Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Company has no bylaw or policy in place that mandates that the Chief Executive Officer serve as the Chairman of the Board. Our Board of Directors recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as a separate independent Chairman of the Board, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board of Directors periodically evaluates its leadership structure.

The Board of Directors has not appointed a lead independent director at this time. The Board has evaluated whether appointing a lead independent director facilitates the ability of the Company’s independent directors to carry out their duties. The independent directors of the Board attend at least one executive session, and may call such further sessions as they deem necessary, at which only independent directors are present and at which the independent directors are free to discuss any aspect of the Company’s business and risk management without the influence of interested directors or management. In addition, all members of the Company’s Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees have been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent based on the application of the rules and standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors plays an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding our credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks through regular meetings with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Manager of Internal Audit. The Company’s Compensation Committee evaluates and addresses risks relating to executive compensation, our incentive compensation plans and other compensatory arrangements. The Nominating Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board of Directors and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of those risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed through committee reports and management presentations to the full Board about these and other operational risks.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has standing Executive, Compensation, Nominating, and Audit Committees.

The Executive Committee acts on various matters between meetings of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Montgomery, Merrick and Hastings. The Executive Committee had two meetings in 2014.

Audit Committee

Since 2000, the Company has had a standing Audit Committee, which is presently composed of Messrs. Henry (Chairman), Klimek, and Thibodeau. Mr. Henry has been designated and is the Company’s “Audit Committee Financial Expert” pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during fiscal year 2014, including quarterly meetings with management, the Manager of Internal Audit and the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the Company’s financial statements and control systems. Mr. Henry and each appointed member of the Committee satisfies the definition of “independent” as that term is defined in the rules governing companies whose stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter has been posted and can be viewed on the Company’s Internet website at http://www.reliv.com under the section entitled “Investor Relations.” In addition, the Audit Committee has adopted a complaint monitoring procedure to enable confidential and anonymous reporting to the Audit Committee of concerns regarding, among other things, questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and internal controls.

The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s application of accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.) (“PCAOB”) including but not limited to those matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management and the Company including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding its communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee meets with the internal auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have also recommended, subject to stockholder approval, the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Robert M. Henry, Audit Committee Chair

John M. Klimek, Member

David T. Thibodeau, Member

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee and Governance Committee consist of three directors, Messrs. Akin (Chairman), Klimek and Henry. The Nominating Committee does not have a charter. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Nominating Committee is independent as defined in the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders. The Company believes that the continuing service of qualified incumbent members of the Board of Directors promotes stability and continuity at the Board level, contributes to the Board’s ability to work as a collective body and provides the benefit of familiarity and insight into the Company’s affairs. Accordingly, the process of the Nominating Committee for identifying nominees reflects the Company’s practice of re-nominating incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the criteria for membership on the Board. For vacancies which are anticipated on the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee intends to seek out and evaluate potential candidates from a variety of sources that may include recommendations by security holders, members of management and the Board of Directors, consultants and others. The minimum qualifications for potential candidates for the Board of Directors include demonstrated business experience, decision-making abilities, personal integrity and a good reputation. While diversity is not a leading factor in the Nominating Committee’s evaluation of potential candidates and there is no formal policy for considering diversity when nominating a potential director, it is a consideration that is evaluated along with other qualifications of potential candidates. In light of the foregoing, it is believed that a formal policy and procedure with regard to consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders is not necessary in order for the Nominating Committee to perform its duties.

The Nominating Committee did not meet in 2014. All of the independent directors of the Board of Directors participated in the nominating process and, in separate session, voted in favor of recommending to the Board of Directors the nomination of each of the nominees for election as directors.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of three directors: Messrs. Klimek (Chairman), Henry and Akin. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined in the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee reviews and acts on the Company’s executive compensation and employee benefit and retirement plans, including their establishment, modification and administration. It also determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers, including incentive compensation programs and stock options. The Compensation Committee has a charter which has been posted and can be viewed on the Company’s Internet website at http://www.reliv.com under the section entitled “Investor Relations.” The Compensation Committee met four times in 2014.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company is a “smaller reporting company” under Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has elected to comply with certain of the requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies in connection with this proxy statement.

Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers

In June 2007, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Robert L. Montgomery replacing a prior agreement. The agreement, as amended, is for a term of employment commencing on January 1, 2007 and expiring on December 31, 2009 with a provision for automatic one-year renewal terms, and provides for Mr. Montgomery to receive base annual compensation during the term of not less than $600,000. Mr. Montgomery is also to participate in the Company’s annual incentive compensation and the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation plans and such other compensation plans as the Company may from time to time have for executives. In the event of Mr. Montgomery’s death during the term of the agreement, payments equal to the total compensation that would have been paid to Mr. Montgomery under the agreement, but for his death, will be made to his heirs for a period of six months. The agreement also allows Mr. Montgomery the option to reduce his level of service to the Company by approximately one-half with a corresponding decrease in base annual compensation and a reduction of 25% of his incentive compensation, after a requisite waiting period. Mr. Montgomery also has the option to terminate his active service and continue in a consulting capacity. The term of the consulting period will be 15 years and Mr. Montgomery will receive approximately 30% of his prior average annual cash compensation over the five years immediately preceding the earlier of (1) his election to terminate his employment and continue to serve the Company as a consultant or (2) his election to continue his employment at a reduced rate of service and compensation. The agreement includes the obligation of Mr. Montgomery to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s confidential information and contains a covenant of Mr. Montgomery not to compete with the Company. In addition, for a period of at least 20 years following the termination of the agreement, the Company has the right to continue its use of Mr. Montgomery’s name and likeness in consideration of a $10,000 annual fee paid to Mr. Montgomery or his heirs.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Dr. Hastings effective as of January 2013 that replaced a prior agreement. The term of employment under the agreement is for a period commencing on January 1, 2013 and expiring on December 31, 2018. For the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015, Dr. Hastings is to devote full time to his duties and is to receive base salary at the rate of $30,000 per month. For the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, he is to devote approximately one-half of his time to his duties and is to receive a base salary at the rate of $22,500 per month. Dr. Hastings is also to participate in the Company’s annual incentive compensation and the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation plans and such other compensation plans as the Company may from time to time have for executives. Upon expiration of the term of employment and a requisite waiting period, Dr. Hastings will be retained to provide consulting services to the Company for a term expiring on June 30, 2028. During the consulting term, the Company will pay Dr. Hastings the sum of $13,000 per month, such amount to be adjusted periodically based upon changes in the National Consumer Price Index. In the event of Dr. Hastings’ death during the term of the agreement, payments equal to the cash compensation that would have been paid to Dr. Hastings under the agreement, but for his death, will be made to his heirs for a period of six months. During the term of the agreement, and thereafter for a period of 20 years in consideration of the payment of $10,000 annually, the Company will be entitled to use the name and likeness of Dr. Hastings in connection with the Company’s promotional materials and activities. The agreement also includes the obligation of Dr. Hastings to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s confidential information and to hold any and all inventions made or conceived by him during the term of the agreement as the Company’s fiduciary and a covenant of Dr. Hastings not to compete with the Company.

Information Relating to Cash Incentives and Stock and Option Awards

Effective January 1, 2007, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan providing for annual incentive compensation to be paid to executive and managerial employees of the Company. Under the Plan, designated Named Executive Officers and a number of other executive officers and managers receive incentive compensation payments, determined on a quarterly and annual basis, which are based upon the income from operations of the Company for the period if the profits exceed a threshold amount of quarterly income from operations in the amount of $500,000. The benefits under the Plan are divided into two Pools of compensation. Pool I (representing the largest pool of incentive compensation) covers senior executive officers who participate in the pool of incentive compensation based upon a percentage allocation made by the Compensation Committee each year. Pool II covers managers who are selected to participate in proportions determined by senior management. The Compensation Committee believes such incentive compensation motivates participants to achieve strong profitability which is viewed as the most significant element of corporate performance, provides rewards for strong corporate performance and aligns the incentive with the interests of the stockholders. Incentive compensation participation levels are generally determined during the first quarter of each fiscal year.

With respect to Pool I participants, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with management and the Chief Executive Officer, determines the participants and their relative level of participation during the first quarter of the year for a recommendation to the Board of Directors for formal approval. In determining participation and the level of participation each year, management and the Compensation Committee considers the executive’s responsibilities and individual performance during the prior year.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in May 2014, the Company’s 2014 Incentive Stock Plan was approved by the stockholders. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options or incentive stock grants of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Upon approval by the stockholders of the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan, the Board provided that no further grants of option awards shall be made under any prior plan, and, since such time, all stock options have been issued pursuant to the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2014, no shares subject to option awards have been granted to certain executive officers and senior management of the Company under the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan.

Stock option grants are determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee in consultation with management. The actual grant for each executive is determined taking into consideration (i) individual performance, (ii) corporate performance and (iii) prior grants to, or stock ownership of the Company by, the executive. Generally, stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of the grant.

We view participation by our executives in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) as a component of long-term compensation. Shares purchased by the ESOP, or contributed to the ESOP, are allocated among participants based upon relative eligible compensation levels and subject to the vesting requirements of the ESOP.

Retirement Benefits

The Company maintains a 401(k) employee savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in which all salaried employees that have met the plan’s service requirements are eligible to participate. The Company also maintains the ESOP, which was adopted by the Company on September 1, 2006. Both plans are tax qualified retirement plans.

Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan and the Company will contribute a matching amount to the 401(k) Plan each year. The federal statutory limit for eligible compensation in 2014 was $260,000. Participating employees may direct the investment of individual and company contributions into one or more of the investment options offered by the 401(k) Plan, provided that, for new contributions, employees may not invest more than 15% in common stock of the Company. During 2014, the Company made matching contributions of 25% on employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan until October 1, 2014, and 10% thereafter, subject to statutory limits and top-heavy plan rules. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan totaled approximately $98,300 in 2014, which is subject to the vesting requirements of the 401(k) Plan.

Under the ESOP, all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the ESOP and interests in the ESOP are allocated to participants based on relative eligible compensation. All contributions to the ESOP are made by the Company in the form of cash or stock and are discretionary. The maximum amount of contribution which the Company can make is 25% of the annual eligible compensation of employees after taking into account contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Shares of stock purchased by, or contributed to the ESOP, are allocated to participants based on qualified compensation and subject to the vesting requirements of the ESOP. During 2014, the Company elected not to make a contribution to the ESOP.

Other Benefits

The Company provides certain general employee benefits and health insurance plans of the type commonly offered by other employers. These benefits form part of our compensation philosophy because the Company believes they are necessary in order to attract, motivate and retain talented executives.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company sponsored a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) that previously allowed certain executives to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus into a grantor trust. A grantor trust was established to hold the assets of the SERP. The Company funded the grantor trust by paying the amount deferred by the participant into the trust at the time of deferral. Investment earnings and losses accrue to the benefit or detriment of the participants. The SERP also provided for a discretionary matching contribution by the Company not to exceed 100% of the participant’s annual contribution. The participants fully vested in the deferred compensation three years from the date they entered the SERP. The participants are not eligible to receive distributions under the SERP until retirement, death, or disability of the participant.

In 2006, the SERP was amended to provide, among other things, that no new participants may be designated and no new or additional salary deferrals may be made. Accordingly, none of the named executive officers made a contribution to the SERP in 2014 and no Company additions or matches were provided. Carl W. Hastings is the only current executive officer of the Company who is a participant in the SERP.

PROPOSAL TWO - SELECTION OF AUDITORS

Fees Billed By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table sets forth the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	2014		2013

Audit Fees ⁽¹⁾	$	373,690	$	357,465

______________________

⁽¹⁾

Includes the annual consolidated financial statement audit, limited quarterly reviews, reviews of registration statements and comfort letters, and statutory audits required internationally.

⁽²⁾

Primarily represents the preparation of tax returns and other tax compliance and consulting services.

All audit, tax, and other services to be performed by Ernst & Young LLP for the Company must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the description of the services and an estimate of the anticipated costs of performing those services. Services not previously approved cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Pre-approval is granted usually at regularly scheduled meetings. If unanticipated items arise between meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has delegated approval authority to the chairman of the Audit Committee, in which case the chairman communicates such pre-approvals to the full committee at its next meeting. During 2014, all services performed by Ernst & Young LLP were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

The Audit Committee reviews all relationships with Ernst & Young LLP, including the provision of non-audit services, which may relate to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee considered the effect of Ernst & Young LLP’s non-audit services in assessing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and concluded that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” SUCH RATIFICATION.

Stockholder Proposals for 2016 Proxy Statement

Proposals by stockholders for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of Proxy relating to the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 26, 2016, should be addressed to the Secretary, Reliv’ International, Inc., P.O. Box 405, Chesterfield, Missouri 63006, and must be received at such address no later than 120 days prior to April 30, 2016. Upon receipt of any such proposal, the Company will determine whether or not to include such proposal in the Proxy Statement and Proxy in accordance with applicable law. It is suggested that such proposal be forwarded by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Proxy Statement and Annual Report Delivery

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for annual reports and proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single annual report and/or proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household annual reports and proxy materials, delivering a single annual report and/or proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that your broker or the Company will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate annual report and/or proxy statement in the future, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or the Company if you hold registered shares. If, at any time, you and another stockholder sharing the same address wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive a single copy of the Company’s annual report and/or proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or the Company if you hold registered shares.

You may request to receive at any time a separate copy of our annual report or proxy statement, or notify the Company that you do or do not wish to participate in householding by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at P.O. Box 405, Chesterfield, Missouri 63006 or by telephoning (636) 537-9715.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders of the Company may communicate with the Board of Directors in writing addressed to:

Board of Directors

c/o Corporate Secretary

Reliv’ International, Inc.

P.O. Box 405

Chesterfield, Missouri 63006

The Secretary will review each communication from a stockholder. The Secretary will forward to the members of the Board of Directors each communication that (1) concerns the Company’s business or governance, (2) is not offensive and is legible in form and reasonably understandable in content, and (3) does not relate to a personal grievance against the Company or a Board member or further a personal interest not shared by the other stockholders generally.

The Company strongly encourages each of its directors to attend each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders where attendance does not unreasonably conflict with the director’s other business and personal commitments. All of the members of the Board of Directors attended the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
