Will Focus on Charitable Work

COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 4, 2014-- Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), the founder of the M5M^SM (Mission 5 Million^SM) social entrepreneurial movement, the pioneer of nutritional glycobiology and the leading innovator of naturally-sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology^® solutions, announces that company founder, Sam Caster, has voluntarily chosen to end his consulting relationship with the company to use his skills to focus on his calling of caring for malnourished children throughout the world.

“I know that our management and associates respect Sam’s decision to follow his dream,” said Dr. Robert Sinnott, CEO and Chief Science Officer at Mannatech. “This is a time when Mannatech is well-positioned for the future with a strong committed management team, new patented proprietary products and a great team of associate leaders working in 24 countries around the world.”

“Our commitment to Social Entrepreneurship and Mission 5 Million (M5M) remains as strong as ever,” said Dr. Sinnott.

Mission 5 Million, or M5M, represents Mannatech’s mission to fight global malnutrition by nourishing the world with Real Food Technology supplementation while empowering and rewarding the lives of those who champion the cause. The company’s vision is to impact the global epidemic of childhood malnutrition by linking 5 million consumers of Real Food Technology supplementation with 5 million children in need.

As a Social Entrepreneurship company, Mannatech has created a nutritional supplement powder, PhytoBlend™, specifically designed to help in the fight against global malnutrition. Anytime a consumer purchases a Mannatech product, a donation of nutritional supplementation is provided for a child in need.

“This is Sam’s personal decision based on his well-known and proven passion for helping nutritionally challenged children,” said J. Stanley Fredrick, Mannatech board chairman. “We have long known about that commitment and wish him only the best in his endeavor.”
