Offer to Purchase
by
Mannatech, Incorporated
Up to $16 million in Value of Shares of Its Common Stock
At a Cash Purchase Price not greater than $21.00 per Share nor less than $18.50 per Share
 
THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, AT THE END OF FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2018, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED (SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS THEY MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).
Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation (the “Company,” “Mannatech,” “we,” “us” or “our”), invites our shareholders to tender up to $16 million in value of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), for purchase by us at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will determine a single per Share price that we will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the total number of Shares tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders. We will select the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn (such purchase price, the “Final Purchase Price”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value of less than $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price, including those Shares tendered at a price lower than the Final Purchase Price. Only Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price, and not properly withdrawn, will be purchased. We may not purchase all of the Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, because of odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in this Offer to Purchase. Shares not purchased in the Offer will be returned to the tendering shareholders promptly after the Expiration Date. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer. See Section 1.
At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $21.00 per Share, we could purchase 761,904 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 28.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018. At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $18.50 per Share, we could purchase 864,864 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 31.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018.
THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON THE RECEIPT OF FINANCING OR ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES BEING TENDERED. THE OFFER IS, HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN OTHER CONDITIONS. SEE SECTION 7.
The Shares are listed and traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MTEX.” On May 16, 2018, two trading days prior to the commencement of the Offer, the last reported sale price of the Shares was $15.65 per Share. Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender their Shares. See Section 8.

TABLE OF CONTENTS





SUMMARY TERM SHEET
We are providing this summary term sheet for your convenience. This summary highlights certain material information in this Offer to Purchase, but it does not describe all of the details of the Offer to the same extent described elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase. To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete description of the terms of the Offer, we urge you to read carefully this entire Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the other documents that constitute part of the Offer. We have included references to the sections of this Offer to Purchase where you will find a more complete description of the topics in this summary.
Who is offering to purchase my Shares?
The issuer of the Shares, Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation, is offering to purchase the Shares. See Section 1.
What is Mannatech offering to purchase?
We are offering to purchase up to $16 million in value of Shares. See Section 1.
What is the purpose of the Offer?
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted major tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”), which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). One of the changes made by the 2017 Tax Act is a placement of a repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We previously deferred these earnings from U.S. income taxes. As a result, we now have the ability to access our cash balance and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. Based on our confidence in the long-term outlook for our business, the benefit to us under the 2017 Tax Act, and our desire to return capital to our shareholders, we plan to use up to $16 million of cash to repurchase Shares in this Offer. Additionally, we are evaluating other ways to utilize our balance of cash and cash equivalents to invest in our business.
We believe that the “modified Dutch auction” tender offer set forth in this Offer to Purchase represents an efficient mechanism to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to tender all or a portion of their Shares and thereby receive a return of some or all of their investment in the Company if they so elect. The Offer provides shareholders with an opportunity to obtain liquidity with respect to all or a portion of their Shares without the potential disruption to the Share price. See Section 2.
The Offer also provides our shareholders with an efficient way to sell their Shares without incurring brokerage fees or commissions associated with open market sales. See Section 1 and Section 2.
If we complete the Offer, shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will automatically increase their relative percentage ownership interest in the Company and our future operations at no additional cost to them. These shareholders will also bear the attendant risks and rewards associated with owning the equity securities of the Company. See Section 2.
How many Shares will we purchase in the Offer?
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will purchase up to $16 million in value of Shares in the Offer or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Because the Final Purchase Price will be determined after the Expiration Date, the exact number of Shares that will be purchased will not be known until after that time.
As of April 30, 2018, we had 2,719,271 issued and outstanding Shares. As of April 30, 2018, the Company had a total of 56,154 Shares available for grant under the Mannatech, Incorporated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), further described in Section 11, and approximately 414,956 Shares were subject to currently outstanding options (of which 290,606 Shares were subject to options that have either vested or will have vested before the Expiration Date) that were awarded under the 2017 Plan or the Mannatech, Incorporated 2008 Plan (as amended, the “2008 Plan”). At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $21.00 per Share, we could purchase 761,904 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 28.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018. At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $18.50 per Share, we could purchase 864,864 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 31.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018. If, based on the Final Purchase Price, more than $16 million in value of Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will purchase all Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis.
We expressly reserve the right to purchase additional Shares in the Offer, subject to applicable law. See Section 1. The Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered but is subject to certain other

2



conditions. See Section 7. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer. See Section 1.
What will be the purchase price for the Shares and what will be the form of payment?
We are conducting the Offer through a procedure commonly called a “modified Dutch auction.” This procedure allows you to select the price, within a price range specified by us, at which you are willing to tender your Shares. The price range for the Offer is $18.50 to $21.00 per Share. We will select the single lowest purchase price (in increments of $0.25), not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow us to purchase up to $16 million in value of Shares at such price, based on the number of Shares tendered, or, if fewer Shares are properly tendered, all Shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We will purchase all Shares at the Final Purchase Price, even if you have selected a purchase price lower than the Final Purchase Price, but we will not purchase any Shares tendered at a price above the Final Purchase Price.
If you wish to maximize the chance that we will purchase your Shares, you should check the box in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” in the section of the Letter of Transmittal captioned “Price (In Dollars) Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered,” indicating that you will accept the Final Purchase Price. If you agree to accept the purchase price determined in the Offer, your Shares will be deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share. You should understand that this election may have the effect of lowering the Final Purchase Price and could result in your Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share, a price that could be below the last reported sale price of the Shares on Nasdaq on the Expiration Date.
If we purchase your Shares in the Offer, we will pay you the Final Purchase Price in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, promptly after the Expiration Date. Under no circumstances will we pay interest on the Final Purchase Price, even if there is a delay in making payment. See the Introduction, Section 1 and Section 3.
Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Shares before deciding whether and at what price or prices to tender their Shares. See Section 8.
How will we pay for the Shares?
The maximum value of Shares purchased in the Offer will be $16 million. We expect that the maximum aggregate cost of this purchase, including all fees and expenses applicable to the Offer, to be approximately $16.3 million. We intend to pay for the Shares with available cash. See Section 9.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer. See Section 1.
How long do I have to tender my Shares?
You may tender your Shares until the Offer expires. The Offer will expire at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, unless we extend the Offer. See Section 1. We may choose to extend the Offer at any time and for any reason. We cannot assure you, however, that we will extend the Offer or, if we extend it, for how long. See Section 1 and Section 14.
Beneficial owners holding their Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadlines for participation in the Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer. See Section 3.
Can the Offer be extended, amended or terminated, and if so, under what circumstances?
Yes. We can extend or amend the Offer in our sole discretion. If we extend the Offer, we may delay the acceptance of any Shares that have been tendered. See Section 14. We can terminate the Offer under certain circumstances. See Section 7.

How will I be notified if you extend the Offer or amend the terms of the Offer?
If we extend the Offer, we will issue a press release not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date. We will announce any amendment to the Offer by making a public announcement of the amendment. See Section 14. If we extend the Offer, you may withdraw your Shares until the Expiration Date, as extended.
Are there any conditions to the Offer?
Yes. Our obligation to accept for payment and pay for your tendered Shares depends upon a number of conditions that must be satisfied in our reasonable judgment or waived on or prior to the Expiration Date, including, among others:
 
no legal action shall have been threatened, pending or taken that might adversely affect the Offer;

no commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar national or international calamity, including, but not limited to, an act of terrorism, directly or indirectly involving the United States shall have occurred on or after May 18, 2018 nor shall any material escalation of any war or armed hostilities which had commenced prior to May 18, 2018 have occurred;

How do I tender my Shares?
If you want to tender all or part of your Shares, you must do one of the following before 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, or any later time and date to which the Offer may be extended:
 
If your Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, contact the nominee and request that the nominee tender your Shares for you. Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadlines for participation in the Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer;

If you hold certificates registered in your own name, complete and sign a Letter of Transmittal according to its instructions, and deliver it, together with any required signature guarantees, the certificates for your Shares and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to the Depositary at the address appearing on the back cover page of this Offer to Purchase;

If you are an institution participating in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, tender your Shares according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described in Section 3;

If you are a holder of vested options, you may exercise your vested options and tender any Shares issued upon such exercise. You must exercise your options sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to receive your Shares in order to tender. An exercise of an option cannot be revoked even if Shares received upon the exercise thereof and tendered in the Offer are not purchased in the Offer for any reason; or
 
If you are a holder of restricted stock, you may only tender Shares that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture.
 
If you want to tender your Shares, but: (a) the certificates for your Shares are not immediately available or cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the Expiration Date; (b) you cannot comply with the procedure for book-entry transfer by the Expiration Date; or (c) your other required documents cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the Expiration Date, you can still tender your Shares if you comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described in Section 3.
We are not making the Offer to, and will not accept any tendered Shares from, shareholders in any jurisdiction where it would be illegal to do so. However, we may, at our discretion, take any actions necessary for us to make the Offer to shareholders in any such jurisdiction.
You may contact the Information Agent, the Dealer Manager or your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance. The contact information for the Information Agent and the Dealer Manager is set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. See Section 3 and the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.
Once I have tendered Shares in the Offer, may I withdraw my tendered Shares?
Yes. You may withdraw any Shares you have tendered at any time before 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, or any later Expiration Date, if the Offer is extended. If after 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Monday, July 16, 2018 we have not accepted for payment the Shares you have tendered to us, you may also withdraw your Shares at any time thereafter. See Section 4.
How do I withdraw Shares I previously tendered?
To properly withdraw Shares, you must deliver on a timely basis a written notice of your withdrawal to the Depositary at the appropriate address appearing on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Your notice of withdrawal must specify your name, the number of Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the Shares. Some additional requirements apply if the certificates for Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary or if your Shares have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3.

If I own fewer than 100 Shares and I tender all of my Shares, will I be subject to proration?
If you own, beneficially or of record, fewer than an aggregate of 100 Shares, you properly tender all of such Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price prior to the Expiration Date (and do not properly withdraw such Shares) and you complete the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (such shareholder an “Odd Lot Holder”), and all conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived, we will purchase all of your Shares without subjecting them to proration (the “Odd Lot Priority”). See Section 1.

In what order will you purchase the tendered Shares?
We will purchase Shares on the following basis:
 
first, we will purchase from all Odd Lot Holders who properly tender all of their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them prior to the Expiration Date;

second, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in Section 6 (whereby a holder may specify a minimum number of such holder’s Shares that must be purchased if any such Shares are purchased), we will purchase all Shares properly tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares; and

third, only if necessary to permit us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as we may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), we will purchase Shares conditionally tendered (as described in Section 6) (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) at or below the Final Purchase Price, by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their Shares.
Therefore, we may not purchase all of the Shares that you tender even if you tender them at or below the Final Purchase Price. See Section 1 and Section 6.
What does the Board of Directors think of the Offer?
Our Board of Directors has authorized us to make the Offer. However, none of the Company, the members of our Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary or the Information Agent makes any recommendation to you as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your Shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which you may choose to tender your Shares. You must make your own decision as to whether to tender your Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and the purchase price or purchase prices at which you will tender them. We recommend that you read carefully the information in this Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal, including our reasons for making the Offer, before taking any action with respect to the Offer. See Section 2. You should discuss whether to tender your Shares with your broker or other financial or tax advisors.
If I decide not to tender, how will the Offer affect my Shares?
Shareholders who decide not to tender will own a greater percentage interest in the outstanding Shares following the consummation of the Offer. See Section 2.
Following the Offer, will you continue as a public company?
Yes. We believe that the Shares will continue to be authorized for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and that we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. See Section 2.
When and how will you pay me for the Shares I tender?
We will pay the Final Purchase Price to each seller, in cash, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest, for the Shares we purchase promptly after the Expiration Date. We will announce the preliminary results of the Offer, including price and preliminary information about any expected proration, on the business day following the Expiration Date. We do not expect, however, to announce the final results of any proration or the Final Purchase Price and begin paying for tendered Shares until at least three business days after the Expiration Date. We will pay for the Shares accepted for purchase by depositing the aggregate purchase price with the Depositary, promptly after the Expiration Date. The Depositary will act as your agent and will transmit to you the payment for all of your Shares accepted for payment. See Section 1 and Section 5.

6



If I am a holder of vested stock options, how do I participate in the Offer?
If you are a holder of vested options, you may exercise your vested options and tender any Shares issued upon such exercise. You must exercise your options sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to receive your Shares in order to tender. An exercise of an option cannot be revoked, however, if Shares received upon the exercise thereof and tendered in the Offer are not purchased in the Offer for any reason. See Section 3.
If I am a holder of restricted stock, how do I participate in the Offer?
If you are a holder of restricted stock that has vested before the Expiration Date and are no longer subject to forfeiture, you may tender any such Shares as described above. We are not offering to purchase unvested restricted stock, and tenders of such equity awards will not be accepted. See Section 3.
What is the recent market price of my Shares?
On May 16, two trading days prior to the commencement of the Offer, the last reported sale price of the Shares on Nasdaq was $15.65 per Share. You are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender your Shares. See Section 8.
Will I receive the dividend scheduled to be paid in May 2018?
On May 7, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per Share, to be paid on May 30, 2018 to each shareholder of record as of the close of business on May 23, 2018. The dividend will be paid regardless of whether such shareholder tenders its Shares in the Offer.
Will I have to pay brokerage commissions if I tender my Shares?
If you are a registered shareholder and you tender your Shares directly to the Depositary, you will not incur any brokerage commissions. If you hold Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, we urge you to consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any transaction costs are applicable. See the Introduction and Section 3.
Will I have to pay stock transfer tax if I tender my Shares?
If you instruct the Depositary in the Letter of Transmittal to make the payment for the Shares to the registered holder, you will not incur any stock transfer tax. If you give special instructions to the Depositary in connection with your tender of Shares, then stock transfer taxes may apply. See Section 5.
 
What are the United States federal income tax consequences if I tender my Shares?
Generally, if you are a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13), your receipt of cash from us in exchange for the Shares you tender will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. The cash you receive for your tendered Shares will generally be treated for United States federal income tax purposes either as consideration received in respect of a sale or exchange of the Shares purchased by us or as a distribution from us in respect of Shares. See Section 13 for a more detailed discussion of the tax treatment of the Offer. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of the Offer. If you are a non-U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13), because it is unclear whether the cash you receive in connection with the Offer will be treated (i) as proceeds of a sale or exchange or (ii) as a distribution, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat such payment as a dividend distribution for withholding purposes. Accordingly, if you are a non-U.S. Holder, you may be subject to withholding on payments to you at a rate of 30% of the gross proceeds paid, unless you establish an entitlement to a reduced rate of withholding by timely completing, under penalties of perjury, the applicable Form W-8. See Section 13 for a more detailed discussion of the tax treatment of the Offer. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of United States federal income tax withholding and backup withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption and the refund procedure.

INTRODUCTION
To the holders of our common stock:
We invite our shareholders to tender up to $16 million in value of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), for purchase by us at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer.”
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will determine a single per Share price that we will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the total number of Shares tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders. We will select the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We refer to the price we will select as the “Final Purchase Price.” We will acquire Shares in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including proration and odd lot priority provisions.
We will only purchase Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn. We may not purchase all of the Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price because of proration (because Shares having an aggregate value greater than the value we seek are properly tendered), odd lot priority and conditional tender provisions described in this Offer to Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value of less than $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Shares not purchased in the Offer, including Shares tendered at prices in excess of the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tender, will be returned to the tendering shareholders promptly after the Expiration Date. See Section 1.
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law. We may increase the value of Shares sought in the Offer to an amount greater than $16 million, subject to applicable law. See Section 1.

If you are a holder of vested options, you may exercise your vested options and tender any of the Shares issued upon exercise. You must exercise your options sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to receive your Shares in order to tender. An exercise of an option cannot be revoked, however, if Shares received upon the exercise thereof and tendered in the Offer are not purchased in the Offer for any reason.
THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON THE RECEIPT OF FINANCING OR ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES BEING TENDERED. THE OFFER IS, HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN OTHER CONDITIONS. SEE SECTION 7.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS AUTHORIZED US TO MAKE THE OFFER. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE DEPOSITARY, MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU AS TO WHETHER YOU SHOULD TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING YOUR SHARES OR AS TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICES AT WHICH YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TENDER YOUR SHARES. NEITHER WE NOR ANY MEMBER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE DEPOSITARY HAS AUTHORIZED ANY PERSON TO MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR SHARES AND, IF SO, HOW MANY SHARES TO TENDER AND THE PURCHASE PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICES AT WHICH YOU WILL TENDER THEM. IN DOING SO, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN FINANCIAL AND TAX ADVISORS, AND READ CAREFULLY AND EVALUATE THE INFORMATION IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND IN THE RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, INCLUDING OUR REASONS FOR MAKING THE OFFER.
We will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Offer by the Information Agent and the Depositary. See Section 15.
As of April 30, 2018, we had 2,719,271 issued and outstanding Shares. As of April 30, 2018, the Company had a total of 56,154 Shares available for grant under the Mannatech, Incorporated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), further described in Section 11, and approximately 414,956 Shares were subject to currently outstanding options (of which 290,606 Shares were subject to options that have either vested or will have vested before the Expiration Date) that were awarded under the 2017 Plan or the Mannatech, Incorporated 2008 Plan (as amended, the “2008 Plan” and, with the 2017 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $21.00 per Share, we could purchase 761,904 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 28.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018. At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $18.50 per Share, we could purchase 864,864 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 31.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 30, 2018. The Shares are listed and traded on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “MTEX.” On May 16, 2018, two trading days prior to the commencement of the Offer, the last closing sale price of the Shares on Nasdaq was $15.65 per Share. Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender their Shares. See Section 8. If, based on the Final Purchase Price, more than $16 million in value of Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will purchase Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1410 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 200, Flower Mound, Texas 75028 and our telephone number is (972) 471-7400.

THE OFFER

1.     Number of Shares; Proration.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will purchase up to $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4 before the Expiration Date at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest (such purchase price, the “Final Purchase Price”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value of less than $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn.
The term “Expiration Date” means 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, unless and until we, in our sole discretion, shall have extended the period of time during which the Offer will remain open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall refer to the latest time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by us, shall expire. See Section 14 for a description of our right to extend, delay, terminate or amend the Offer.
In accordance with Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal, shareholders desiring to tender Shares must either (1) specify that they are willing to sell their Shares to us at the Final Purchase Price (which could result in the tendering shareholder receiving a purchase price per Share as low as $18.50), or (2) specify the price or prices, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, at which they are willing to sell their Shares to us under the Offer. Prices may be specified in multiples of $0.25. Promptly following the Expiration Date, we will determine the Final Purchase Price that we will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, taking into account the number of Shares tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders. We will select the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We will pay the Final Purchase Price for all Shares purchased in the Offer (less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest).
If you specify that you are willing to sell your Shares to us at the Final Purchase Price (which could result in you receiving a purchase price per Share as low as $18.50), your Shares will be deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price. You should understand that this election may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price and could result in your Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share.
We will announce the Final Purchase Price by press release as promptly as practicable after such determination has been made. We do not expect, however, to announce the final results of any proration or the Final Purchase Price and begin paying for tendered Shares until at least three business days after the Expiration Date. We will only purchase Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn. We may not purchase all of the Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares representing more than $16 million (or such greater number of Shares as we may choose to purchase without extending the Offer) are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, because of odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions of the Offer. We will return all Shares tendered and not purchased pursuant to the Offer, including Shares tendered at prices in excess of the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of odd lot priority, proration or conditional tender provisions of the Offer, to the tendering shareholders at our expense, promptly following the Expiration Date.
By following the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal, shareholders can specify different minimum prices for specified portions of their Shares, but a separate Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for Shares tendered at each price. Shareholders can also specify the order in which the specified portions will be purchased (subject to the odd lot provisions of the Offer) in the event that, as a result of proration or otherwise, some but not all of the tendered Shares are purchased pursuant to the Offer. In the event a shareholder does not designate such order and fewer than all Shares are purchased due to proration, the Depositary will select the order of Shares purchased.
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law. We may increase the value of Shares sought in the Offer to an amount greater than $16 million, subject to applicable law. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer. However, if we purchase an additional number of Shares in excess of 2% of the outstanding Shares, we will amend and extend the Offer to the extent required by applicable law. See Section 14.

11



In the event of an over-subscription of the Offer as described below, Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price prior to the Expiration Date will be subject to proration (subject to the exception for Odd Lot Holders (as defined below)). The proration period and withdrawal rights also expire on the Expiration Date.
The Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions. See Section 7.
Priority of Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $16 million (or such greater amount as we may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), have been properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, we will purchase properly tendered Shares on the basis set forth below:
 
first, we will purchase from all Odd Lot Holders who properly tender all of their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them prior to the Expiration Date;

second, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in Section 6 (whereby a holder may specify a minimum number of such holder’s Shares that must be purchased if any such Shares are purchased), we will purchase all Shares properly tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares; and
third, only if necessary to permit us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as we may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), we will purchase Shares conditionally tendered (as described in Section 6) (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) at or below the Final Purchase Price, by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their Shares.
As a result of the foregoing priorities applicable to the purchase of Shares tendered, it is possible that fewer than all Shares tendered by a shareholder will be purchased or that, if a tender is conditioned upon the purchase of a specified number of Shares, none of those Shares will be purchased even though those Shares were tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price.
As we noted above, we may elect to purchase more than $16 million in value of Shares in the Offer, subject to applicable law. If we do so, the preceding provisions will apply to the greater value.
Odd Lots. Any person who owns, beneficially or of record, a total of fewer than 100 Shares and so certifies in the appropriate place on the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (“Odd Lot Holder”), will have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of or purchase of any other tendered Shares (the “Odd Lot Priority”). To qualify for the Odd Lot Priority, an Odd Lot Holder must tender at or below the Final Purchase Price all Shares owned in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3. Any Odd Lot Holder wishing to tender all of such shareholder’s Shares pursuant to the tender offer must complete the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
Proration. If proration of tendered Shares is required, we will determine the proration factor promptly following the Expiration Date. Proration for each shareholder tendering Shares will be based on the ratio of the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such shareholder to the total number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by all shareholders at or below the Final Purchase Price, subject to the provisions governing conditional tenders described in Section 6 and adjustment to avoid the purchase of fractional Shares. Because of the difficulty in determining the number of Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn, the conditional tender procedure described in Section 6 and the guaranteed delivery procedure described in Section 3, we expect that we will not be able to announce the final proration factor or commence payment for any Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer until at least three business days after the Expiration Date. The preliminary results of any proration will be announced by press release as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. After the Expiration Date, shareholders may obtain preliminary proration information from the Information Agent and also may be able to obtain the information from their brokers.
As described in Section 13, the number of Shares that we will purchase from a shareholder pursuant to the Offer may affect the United States federal income tax consequences to the shareholder of the purchase and, therefore, may be relevant to a shareholder’s decision whether to tender Shares. The Letter of Transmittal affords each shareholder who tenders Shares registered in such shareholder’s name directly to the Depositary the opportunity to designate the order of priority in which Shares tendered are to be purchased in the event of proration (subject to the odd lot provisions of the Offer), as well as the ability to condition such tender on a minimum number of Shares being purchased.

12



This Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal will be mailed to record holders of the Shares and will be furnished to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on our shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency’s security position listing for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Shares.

2.     Purpose of the Offer; Certain Effects of the Offer.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted major tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”), which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). One of the changes made by the 2017 Tax Act is a placement of a repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We previously deferred these earnings from U.S. income taxes. As a result, we now have the ability to access our cash balance and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. Based on our confidence in the long-term outlook for our business, the benefit to us under the 2017 Tax Act, and our desire to return capital to our shareholders, we plan to use up to $16 million of cash to repurchase Shares in this Offer. Additionally, we are evaluating other ways to utilize our balance of cash and cash equivalents to invest in our business.
We believe that the “modified Dutch auction” tender offer set forth in this Offer to Purchase represents a mechanism to provide all of our shareholders with the opportunity to tender all or a portion of their Shares and, thereby, receive a return of some or all of their investment in the Company if they so elect. The Offer provides shareholders with an opportunity to obtain liquidity with respect to all or a portion of their Shares without the potential disruption to the Share price.
The Offer also provides our shareholders with an efficient way to sell their Shares without incurring broker’s fees or commissions associated with open market sales.
 
Certain Effects of the Offer. If we complete the Offer, shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will automatically increase their relative percentage ownership interest in us and our future operations. These shareholders will also continue to bear the risks associated with owning the Shares. Shareholders may be able to sell non-tendered Shares in the future on Nasdaq or otherwise, at a net price significantly higher or lower than the Final Purchase Price in the Offer. We can give no assurance, however, as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell his or her Shares in the future.
We anticipate that there will be a sufficient number of Shares outstanding and publicly traded following completion of the Offer to ensure a continued trading market for the Shares. Based upon published guidelines of Nasdaq, we do not believe that our purchase of Shares under the Offer will cause our remaining outstanding Shares to be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market LLC. We also believe that our purchase of Shares under the Offer will not result in the Shares becoming eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS AUTHORIZED US TO MAKE THE OFFER. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE DEPOSITARY, MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU AS TO WHETHER YOU SHOULD TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING YOUR SHARES OR AS TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICES AT WHICH YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TENDER YOUR SHARES. NEITHER WE NOR ANY MEMBER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE DEPOSITARY HAS AUTHORIZED ANY PERSON TO MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR SHARES AND, IF SO, HOW MANY SHARES TO TENDER AND THE PURCHASE PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICES AT WHICH YOU WILL TENDER THEM. IN DOING SO, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN FINANCIAL AND TAX ADVISORS, AND READ CAREFULLY AND EVALUATE THE INFORMATION IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND IN THE RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, INCLUDING OUR REASONS FOR MAKING THE OFFER.
We intend to hold the Shares we acquire pursuant to the Offer in treasury.
Except as disclosed or incorporated by reference in this Offer to Purchase, we have no current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in:
 
any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving us or any of our subsidiaries;

any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of our assets or any of our subsidiaries’ assets;


13



any change in our present dividend rate or policy, our indebtedness or capitalization;

any material change in our present Board of Directors or management or any plans or proposals to change the terms of directors or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; however, we do intend to increase the size of our board from seven members to eight members, and the board of directors has indicated that they intend to appoint Mr. Tyler Rameson to the new board seat;

any material change in our corporate structure or business;

any class of our equity securities becoming delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC;

any class of our equity securities becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act;

the termination or suspension of our obligation to file reports under 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

the acquisition or disposition by any person of our securities, other than pursuant to the grant of restricted stock or stock options to employees and directors in the ordinary course of business; or

any changes in our charter, bylaws or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of us.
Nothing in the Offer will preclude us from considering any of the foregoing events or pursuing, developing or engaging in future plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in one or more of the foregoing events, subject to applicable law, and we reserve the right to do so. Although we may not have any current plans, other than as disclosed or incorporated by reference in this Offer to Purchase,that relate to or would result in any of the events discussed above, we consider from time to time, and may undertake or plan actions that relate to or could result in, one or more of these events. Shareholders tendering Shares in the Offer may run the risk of foregoing the benefit of any appreciation in the market price of the Shares resulting from such potential future events.

3.     Procedures for Tendering Shares.
Proper Tender of Shares. For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, the certificates for such Shares (or confirmation of receipt of such Shares pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer set forth below), together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or an “Agent’s Message” (as defined below), and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must be received before 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018 by the Depositary at the appropriate address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadlines for participation in the Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer.
In the alternative, the tendering shareholder must, before the Expiration Date, comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure described below.
In accordance with Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal, shareholders desiring to tender Shares under the Offer must complete the section captioned “Price (In Dollars) Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered” by either (1) checking the box in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” or (2) checking one of the boxes in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder,” indicating the price at which Shares are being tendered.
Shareholders who desire to tender Shares at more than one price must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which Shares are tendered, provided that the same Shares cannot be tendered (unless properly withdrawn previously in accordance with Section 4) at more than one price. To tender Shares properly, one and only one box must be checked in the section captioned “Price (In Dollars) Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered” in the Letter of Transmittal.
If tendering shareholders wish to maximize the chance that we will purchase their Shares, they should check the box in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” in the Letter of Transmittal under the section captioned “Price

14



(In Dollars) Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered.” If you agree to accept the purchase price determined in the Offer, your Shares will be deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share. Note that this election may have the effect of lowering the Final Purchase Price and could result in the tendered Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share. If tendering shareholders wish to indicate a specific price (in multiples of $0.25) at which their Shares are being tendered, they must check the appropriate box in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder” in the section captioned “Price (In Dollars) Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered” in the Letter of Transmittal. Tendering shareholders should be aware that this election could mean that none of their Shares will be purchased if they check a box other than the box representing the price at or below the Final Purchase Price.
Shareholders holding their Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact the nominee in order to tender their Shares. Shareholders who hold Shares through nominees are urged to consult their nominees to determine whether transaction costs may apply if shareholders tender Shares through the nominees and not directly to the Depositary.
Shareholders may tender Shares subject to the condition that all, or a specified minimum number of Shares, be purchased. Any shareholder desiring to make such a conditional tender should so indicate in the box entitled “Conditional Tender” in the Letter of Transmittal. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to determine the minimum number of Shares to be purchased. Shareholders should consult their own financial and tax advisors with respect to the effect of proration of the Offer and the advisability of making a conditional tender. See Section 6 and Section 13.
Odd Lot Holders must also complete the section captioned "Odd Lots" in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, to qualify for the Odd Lot Priority as set forth in Section 1.
Signature Guarantees and Method of Delivery. No signature guarantee is required if:

the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Shares (which term, for purposes of this Section 3, will include any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) tendered and such holder has not completed either the section entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or the section entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” in the Letter of Transmittal; or
 
Shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or an “eligible guarantor institution,” as the term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 17Ad-15, each of the foregoing constituting an “Eligible Institution.” See Instruction 1 of the Letter of Transmittal.
If a certificate for Shares is registered in the name of a person other than the person executing the Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made, new certificates for Shares not purchased or tendered are to be issued or a credit of Shares is made to a person other than the registered holder, then the certificate must be endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate stock power, signed in either case exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on the certificate, with the signature guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
Payment for Shares tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of:

one of (a) certificates for the Shares or (b) a timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of the Shares into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility as described below;

one of (a) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees or (b) an Agent’s Message (as defined below) in the case of a book-entry transfer; and

any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
The method of delivery of all documents, including certificates for Shares, the Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents, is at the sole election and risk of the tendering shareholder. If delivery is by mail, then registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Shares will be deemed delivered only when actually received by the Depositary (including, in the case of a book-entry transfer, by book-entry confirmation). In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
All deliveries in connection with the Offer, including a Letter of Transmittal and certificates for Shares, must be made to the Depositary and not to us, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. ANY

15



DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO US, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO THE DEPOSITARY AND WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE PROPERLY TENDERED.
Book-Entry Delivery. The Depositary will establish an account with respect to the Shares for purposes of the Offer at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility within two business days after the date of this Offer to Purchase, and any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the Shares by means of a book-entry transfer by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer Shares into the Depositary’s account in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedures for transfer. Although delivery of Shares may be effected through a book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message (as defined below), and any other required documents must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the Depositary at the appropriate address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase before the Expiration Date, or the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure described below. Delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.
The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary, which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Shares that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce such agreement against the participant.
Guaranteed Delivery. If you wish to tender Shares in the Offer and your certificates for Shares are not immediately available or the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis or time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, your tender may be effected if all the following conditions are met:
 
your tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;

a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form we have provided is received by the Depositary, as provided below, prior to the Expiration Date; and

the Depositary receives at the appropriate address listed on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase and within the period of two Nasdaq trading days after the date of execution of that Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, either: (i) the certificates representing the Shares being tendered, in the proper form for transfer, together with all other required documents and a Letter of Transmittal, which has been properly completed and duly executed and includes all signature guarantees required; or (ii) confirmation of book-entry transfer of the Shares into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together with all other required documents and either a Letter of Transmittal, which has been properly completed and duly executed and includes all signature guarantees required, or an Agent’s Message.
A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered to the Depositary by overnight courier, email transmission (for Eligible Institutions only) or mail before the Expiration Date and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
Procedures for Stock Options. We are not offering, as part of the Offer, to purchase any outstanding stock options, and tenders of stock options will not be accepted. Holders of vested stock options may exercise options and tender the Shares received upon exercise into the Offer. Options must be exercised sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date in order to have time for the exercise to settle before the Shares received upon exercise of the options may be tendered. An exercise of an option cannot be revoked even if Shares received upon the exercise thereof and tendered in the Offer are not purchased in the Offer for any reason. If you are a holder of vested but unexercised options, you should evaluate this Offer to Purchase carefully to determine if participation would be advantageous to you.
Procedures for Restricted Stock. We are not offering, as part of the Offer, to purchase unvested restricted stock and tenders of such equity awards will not be accepted. Shares of restricted stock that have vested before the Expiration Date may be tendered into the Offer.
Return of Unpurchased Shares. If any tendered Shares are not purchased under the Offer or are properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, or if less than all Shares evidenced by a shareholder’s certificate(s) are tendered, we will return certificates for unpurchased Shares promptly after the expiration or termination of the Offer or, in the case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, the Shares will be credited to the appropriate account maintained by the tendering shareholder at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, in each case without expense to the shareholder.

16



Determination of Validity; Rejection of Shares; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the number of Shares to be accepted, the Final Purchase Price to be paid for Shares to be accepted and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Shares that we determine are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date, or any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Shares or any particular shareholder (whether or not we waive similar defects or irregularities in the case of other shareholders), and our interpretation of the terms of the Offer will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event a condition is waived with respect to any particular shareholder, the same condition will be waived with respect to all shareholders. No tender of Shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering shareholder or waived by us. We will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer, or any defect or irregularity in any tender of Shares. None of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of the foregoing incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Tendering Shareholder’s Representation and Warranty; Our Acceptance Constitutes an Agreement. It is a violation of Exchange Act Rule 14e-4 for a person, directly or indirectly, to tender Shares for that person’s own account unless, at the time of tender and at the end of the proration period or period during which Shares are accepted by lot (including any extensions of such period), the person so tendering (1) has a “net long position” equal to or greater than the amount of Shares tendered in (a) Shares or (b) other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares and, upon acceptance of the tender, will acquire the Shares by conversion, exchange or exercise and (2) will deliver or cause to be delivered the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to a tender on behalf of another person.
A tender of Shares in accordance with any of the procedures described above will constitute the tendering shareholder’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer, as well as the tendering shareholder’s representation and warranty to us that (1) the shareholder has a “net long position,” within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in the Shares or equivalent securities at least equal to the Shares being tendered, and (2) the tender of Shares complies with Rule 14e-4. Our acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and us on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, which agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.
A tender of Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth herein will also constitute a representation and warranty to us that the tendering shareholder has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares tendered, and that, when the same are accepted for purchase by us, we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, claims, encumbrances and other obligations relating to the sale or transfer of the Shares, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim or right. Any such tendering shareholder will, on request by the Depositary or us, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or us to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by delivery of the Letter of Transmittal shall be binding on the successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the tendering shareholder and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of such tendering shareholder.
Lost or Destroyed Certificates. Shareholders whose certificates for part or all of their Shares have been lost, destroyed or stolen should promptly contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Depositary at the phone number or at the address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase for instructions to obtain a replacement certificate. That certificate will then be required to be submitted together with the Letter of Transmittal in order to receive payment for Shares that are tendered and accepted for payment. A bond may be required to be posted by the shareholder to secure against the risk that the certificates may be subsequently recirculated. The Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed. Shareholders are requested to contact the Depositary immediately in order to permit timely processing of this documentation. Certificates for Shares, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must be delivered to the Depositary and not to us, the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent. Any certificates delivered to us, the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent will not be forwarded to the Depositary and will not be deemed to be properly tendered.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to shareholders in the Offer may be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In addition, under the United States federal income tax laws, backup withholding at the statutory rate (currently 24%) may apply to the amount paid to certain shareholders (who are not “exempt” recipients) pursuant to the Offer.

17



To prevent such backup United States federal income tax withholding, each non-corporate shareholder who is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13) and who does not otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding must notify the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent of the shareholder’s taxpayer identification number (employer identification number or social security number) and provide certain other information by completing, under penalties of perjury, an IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is included in the Letter of Transmittal. Failure to timely provide the correct taxpayer identification number on the IRS Form W-9 may subject the shareholder to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS.
 
Certain “exempt” recipients (including, among others, generally all corporations and certain non-U.S. Holders (as defined in Section 13)) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. For a non-U.S. Holder to qualify for such exemption, such non-U.S. Holder must submit a statement (generally, an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable Form W-8), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such non-U.S. Holder’s exempt status. A copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or from the IRS website (www.irs.gov). A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the IRS Form W-9. See Instruction 10 to the Letter of Transmittal.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund of such amounts if they timely provide certain required information to the IRS.
Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding to their particular circumstances and the availability of, and procedure for obtaining, an exemption from backup withholding.
United States Federal Withholding Tax on Payments to Non-U.S. Holders. Because it is unclear whether the cash received by a non-U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13) in connection with the Offer will be treated (i) as proceeds of a sale or exchange or (ii) as a distribution, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat such payment as a dividend distribution for withholding purposes. Accordingly, payments to non-U.S. Holders may be subject to withholding at a rate of 30% of the gross proceeds paid, unless the non-U.S. Holder establishes an entitlement to a reduced rate of withholding by timely completing, under penalties of perjury, the applicable IRS Form W-8. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, a non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent, before the payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming such a reduction. In order to claim an exemption from withholding on the grounds that the gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, a non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent, before the payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI.
A non-U.S. Holder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any tax withheld if such shareholder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests described in Section 13 or if the shareholder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty and a higher rate was withheld.
Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of United States federal income tax withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure.

4.     Withdrawal Rights.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Date, including any extensions of the Expiration Date. If after 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Monday, July 16, 2018 we have not accepted for payment the Shares you have tendered to us, you may also withdraw your Shares at any time thereafter.
For a withdrawal to be effective, a notice of withdrawal must be in written form and must be received in a timely manner by the Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the tendering shareholder; the number of Shares to be withdrawn; and the name of the registered holder of the Shares. If certificates for Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, before the release of the certificates, the tendering shareholder must also submit the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates for Shares to be withdrawn and the signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (except in the case of Shares tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution). If Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described in Section 3, the notice of withdrawal also must specify the name and the number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Shares and must otherwise comply with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedures. If a shareholder has used more than one Letter of Transmittal or has otherwise tendered Shares in more than one group of Shares, the shareholder may withdraw Shares using either separate notices of withdrawal or a combined notice of withdrawal, so long as the information specified above is included.

18



We will determine all questions as to the form and validity, including the time of receipt, of any notice of withdrawal, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither we nor the Dealer Manager, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur liability for failure to give any such notification. Withdrawals may not be rescinded, and any Shares properly withdrawn will be deemed not properly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Shares may be re-tendered before the Expiration Date by again following one of the procedures described in Section 3.
If we extend the Offer, are delayed in our purchase of Shares or are unable to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the Offer, the Depositary may, subject to applicable law, retain tendered Shares on our behalf, and the Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this Section 4. Our reservation of the right to delay payment for Shares that we have accepted for payment is limited by Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(5), which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return the Shares tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

5.     Purchase of Shares and Payment of Purchase Price.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, promptly following the Expiration Date, we will:
 
determine the Final Purchase Price, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders; and

accept for payment and pay for (and thereby purchase) Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn. We intend to purchase Shares having an aggregate value of $16 million and may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer.
For purposes of the Offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment (and therefore purchased), subject to odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions of the Offer, Shares that are properly tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn only when, as and if we give oral or written notice to the Depositary of our acceptance of the Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, promptly after the Expiration Date, we will accept for payment and pay a single per Share purchase price for all of the Shares accepted for payment in accordance with the Offer. In all cases, payment for Shares tendered and accepted for payment in accordance with the Offer will be made promptly, subject to possible delay due to proration, but only after timely receipt by the Depositary of:
 
certificates for Shares or a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Shares into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility;

a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal including any required signature guarantees or an Agent’s Message in the case of book-entry transfer; and

any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
 
We will pay for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer by depositing the aggregate purchase price for the Shares with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to the tendering shareholders. In the event of proration, the Depositary will determine the proration factor and pay for those tendered Shares accepted for payment promptly after the Expiration Date. Certificates for all Shares tendered and not purchased, including all Shares tendered at prices in excess of the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased due to proration or conditional tenders, will be returned, or, in the case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, will be credited to the account maintained with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility by the participant who delivered the Shares, to the tendering shareholder promptly after the expiration or termination of the Offer at our expense.
Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Final Purchase Price for the Shares, regardless of any delay in making payment. In addition, if certain events occur, we may not be obligated to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer. See Section 7.

19



We will pay all stock transfer taxes, if any, payable on the transfer to us of Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that if payment of the Final Purchase Price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted by the Offer) if unpurchased Shares are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder, or if tendered certificates are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of all stock transfer taxes, if any (whether imposed on the registered holder or the other person), payable on account of the transfer to that person will be deducted from the Final Purchase Price unless evidence satisfactory to us of the payment of the stock transfer taxes, or exemption from payment of the stock transfer taxes, is submitted. See Instruction 7 of the Letter of Transmittal.

6.     Conditional Tender of Shares.
In the event of an over-subscription of the Offer, Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price prior to the Expiration Date will be subject to proration (subject to the exception for Odd Lot Holders). See Section 1. As discussed in Section 13, the number of Shares to be purchased from a particular shareholder may affect the tax treatment of the purchase to the shareholder and the shareholder’s decision whether to tender. Accordingly, a shareholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to a Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased. Any shareholder desiring to make a conditional tender must so indicate in the box entitled “Conditional Tender” in the Letter of Transmittal, and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. We urge each shareholder to consult with his or her own financial or tax advisor with respect to the advisability of making a conditional tender.
Any tendering shareholder wishing to make a conditional tender must calculate and appropriately indicate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from that shareholder if any are to be purchased. After the Offer expires, if, based on the Final Purchase Price determined in the Offer, Shares representing more than $16 million (or such greater number of Shares as we may choose to purchase without extending the Offer) are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, so that we must prorate our acceptance of and payment for tendered Shares, we will calculate a preliminary proration percentage, after taking into account the Odd Lot Priority, based upon all Shares properly tendered (other than those subject to the Odd Lot Priority), conditionally or unconditionally. If the effect of this preliminary proration would be to reduce the number of Shares to be purchased from any shareholder below the minimum number specified, the conditional tender will automatically be regarded as withdrawn (except as provided in the next paragraph). All Shares tendered by a shareholder subject to a conditional tender pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal and regarded as withdrawn as a result of proration will be returned promptly after the Expiration Date.
After giving effect to these withdrawals, we will accept the remaining Shares properly tendered, conditionally or unconditionally, at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis, if necessary. If conditional tenders would otherwise be regarded as withdrawn and would cause the total number of Shares to be purchased to fall below an aggregate value of $16 million (or such greater amount as we may elect to pay, subject to applicable law) then, to the extent feasible, we will select enough of the conditional tenders that would otherwise have been deemed withdrawn to permit us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as we may elect to pay, subject to applicable law). In selecting among the conditional tenders, we will select by random lot, treating all tenders by a particular shareholder as a single lot, and will limit our purchase in each case to the designated minimum number of Shares to be purchased.

7.     Conditions of the Offer.
The Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, we will not be required to accept for payment, purchase or pay for any Shares tendered, and may terminate or amend the Offer or may postpone the acceptance for payment of or the payment for Shares tendered, subject to Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(5), which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return the Shares tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer, if at any time on or after the commencement of the Offer and prior to the Expiration Date any of the following events have occurred (or are determined by us to have occurred) that, in our reasonable judgment and regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the event or events (including any action or inaction by us), makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Offer or with acceptance for payment or payment for the Shares in the Offer:

the commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar national or international calamity, including, but not limited to, an act of terrorism, directly or indirectly involving the United States, on or after May 18, 2018;

any material escalation of any war or armed hostilities which had commenced prior to May 18, 2018;

any limitation, whether or not mandatory, by any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority on, or any event that, in our reasonable judgment, could materially affect, the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions in the United States;

any change in the general political, market, economic or financial conditions, domestically or internationally, that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect our business or the trading in the Shares; or

in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof;

a tender or exchange offer for any or all of the Shares (other than the Offer), or any merger, acquisition, business combination or other similar transaction with or involving us or any subsidiary, has been proposed, announced or made by any person or has been publicly disclosed;

any entity, “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or person has acquired or proposes to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding Shares, whether through the acquisition of stock, the formation of a group, the grant of any option or right, or otherwise (other than as and to the extent disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on or before May 17, 2018);
 
any entity, group or person who has filed a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G with the SEC on or before May 17, 2018, has acquired or proposes to acquire, whether through the acquisition of stock, the formation of a group, the grant of any option or right, or otherwise (other than by virtue of the Offer made hereby), beneficial ownership of an additional 2% or more of the outstanding Shares;

The conditions referred to above are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, and may be waived by us, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in our reasonable discretion on or prior to the Expiration Date. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any right, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time. In certain circumstances, if we waive any of the conditions described above, we may be required to extend the Expiration Date. Any determination by us concerning the events described above will be final and binding on all parties. See Section 14.

Arrangements Concerning the Shares.
Mannatech, Incorporated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, the 2017 Plan, which provides for issuance of Shares pursuant to grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock and performance stock units to our employees, board members, and consultants. The 2017 Plan is administered by our Compensation and Stock Option Plan Committee.
We reserved a maximum of 250,000 Shares for issuance under our 2017 Plan, which includes certain Shares available for issuance under our predecessor stock plan. Awards granted under the 2017 Plan reduce the number of Shares reserved for issuance by one for each Share covered by an Award. In general, if any stock option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2017 Plan expires, or is forfeited, terminated or canceled without the issuance of Shares, the shares subject to such awards are added back into the authorized reserve. But Shares withheld to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to satisfy a participant’s tax obligations are not added back into the authorized reserve. As of April 30, 2018, the Company had a total of 56,154 Shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan, which expires on April 16, 2027. Awards under our 2017 Plan are made with Shares reserved for this purpose.
Generally, the exercise price with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights granted pursuant to our 2017 Plan cannot be less than the fair market value per Share on the date of grant. Unless our Compensation and Stock Option Plan Committee specifies otherwise, in general, stock options and stock appreciation rights vest annually over a two- or three-year period and have a ten-year term. Our 2017 Plan also permits awards of restricted stock and restricted units, which generally vest annually over a four-year period. The Compensation and Stock Option Plan Committee determines the vesting schedule for such awards.
Other Equity Compensation Plans. The Company maintains an additional equity compensation plan, the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which covers Shares to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, but which has been terminated as to future grants. As of April 30, 2018, 227,955 Shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under the 2008 Plan.
Director Equity Compensation. Mannatech, Incorporated’s policy is to award each non-employee director re-elected to the Board by our shareholders 5,000 stock options. Such director stock options are one-third vested on the grant date, and the remainder vest in approximately equal annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.
The foregoing descriptions of agreements and arrangements involving the Shares are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the respective agreements and arrangements, copies of which have been filed with the SEC.
Except as otherwise described herein, neither we nor, to the best of our knowledge, any of our affiliates, directors or executive officers, is a party to any contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any of our securities.

12.     Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.
We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit that is reasonably likely to be material to our business that might be adversely affected by our acquisition of Shares as contemplated in the Offer or of any approval or other action by any government or

26



governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency, domestic, foreign or supranational, that would be required for our acquisition or ownership of Shares as contemplated by the Offer. Should any approval or other action be required, we presently contemplate that we will seek that approval or other action, but we have no current intention to delay the purchase of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome of any such matter, subject to our right to decline to purchase Shares if any of the conditions in Section 7 have occurred or are deemed by us to have occurred or have not been waived. We cannot predict whether we would be required to delay the acceptance for payment of or payment for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome of any such matter. We cannot assure you that any approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantial cost or conditions or that the failure to obtain the approval or other action might not result in adverse consequences to our business and financial condition. If certain types of adverse actions are taken with respect to the matters discussed above, or certain approvals, consents, licenses or permits identified above are not obtained, we can decline to accept for payment or pay for any Shares tendered. See Section 7.

13.     Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.
The following discussion describes certain United States federal income tax consequences of participating in the Offer for U.S. Holders and non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below). This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, IRS rulings and pronouncements, and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change which could affect the tax consequences described in this Offer to Purchase (possibly on a retroactive basis). This discussion is for general information only and does not address all of the aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular shareholder or to shareholders subject to special rules (including, without limitation, financial institutions, brokers, dealers or traders in securities or commodities, traders who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, insurance companies, “S” corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, U.S. expatriates, tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, persons who hold Shares as a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,” “conversion” or “integrated” transaction or other risk reduction strategy, directors, employees, former employees or other persons who acquired their Shares as compensation, including upon the exercise of employee stock options, and U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar). In particular, this summary does not address any tax consequences arising from the Medicare tax on net investment income, the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to any employee benefit plans or the alternative minimum tax. This summary also does not address tax considerations arising under any state, local or foreign laws, or under United States federal estate or gift tax laws. This summary assumes that shareholders hold the Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). No IRS ruling has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein.
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares that for United States federal income tax purposes is:
 
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test under Section 7701(b) of the Code;

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or, if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, and it has elected to continue to be treated as a United States person.
 
As used herein, the term “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes).
If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds Shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership holding Shares, and each partner in such partnership, should consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of participating in the Offer.
Each shareholder is urged to consult its tax advisor as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences to such shareholder of participating or not participating in the Offer and the applicability and effect of any state, local and foreign tax laws and other tax consequences with respect to the Offer.

Non-Participation in the Offer. The Offer will generally have no United States federal income tax consequences to shareholders that do not tender any Shares in the Offer.
Consequences of the Offer to U.S. Holders.
Characterization of the Purchase-Distribution vs. Sale Treatment. The exchange of Shares for cash pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder that participates in the Offer will be treated, depending on such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, either as recognizing gain or loss from the disposition of the Shares or as receiving a distribution from us as described in more detail below.
Under the stock redemption rules of Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on an exchange of Shares for cash if the exchange: (a) results in a “complete termination” of all such U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company, (b) results in a “substantially disproportionate” redemption with respect to such U.S. Holder, or (c) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder (together, the “Section 302 tests”). In applying the Section 302 tests, a U.S. Holder must take into account stock that such U.S. Holder constructively owns under certain attribution rules, pursuant to which the U.S. Holder will be treated as owning Shares owned by certain family members (except that in the case of a “complete termination” a U.S. Holder may waive, under certain circumstances, attribution from family members) and related entities and Shares that the U.S. Holder has the right to acquire by exercise of an option. An exchange of Shares for cash will be a substantially disproportionate redemption with respect to a U.S. Holder if the percentage of the then-outstanding Shares owned by such U.S. Holder in the Company immediately after the exchange is less than 80% of the percentage of the Shares owned (directly and by attribution) by such U.S. Holder in the Company immediately before the exchange. If an exchange of Shares for cash fails to satisfy the “substantially disproportionate” test, the U.S. Holder nonetheless may satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test. An exchange of Shares for cash will generally satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company. An exchange of Shares for cash that results in any reduction of the proportionate equity interest in the Company held by a U.S. Holder with a relative equity interest that is minimal and who does not exercise any control over or participate in the Company’s management should generally be treated as “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the rules of Section 302 in their particular circumstances.
We cannot predict whether any particular U.S. Holder will be subject to sale or exchange treatment, on one hand, or distribution treatment, on the other hand. Contemporaneous dispositions or acquisitions of Shares (including market sales and purchases) by a U.S. Holder or related individuals or entities may be deemed to be part of a single integrated transaction and may be taken into account in determining whether the Section 302 tests have been satisfied. Each U.S. Holder should be aware that because proration may occur in the Offer, even if all the Shares actually and constructively owned by a U.S. Holder are tendered pursuant to the Offer, fewer than all of such Shares may be purchased by us. Consequently, we cannot assure you that a sufficient number of any particular U.S. Holder’s Shares will be purchased to ensure that this purchase will be treated as a sale or exchange, rather than as a distribution, for United States federal income tax purposes pursuant to the rules discussed herein. Accordingly, a tendering U.S. Holder may choose to submit a “conditional tender” under the procedures described in Section 6, which allows the U.S. Holder to tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the U.S. Holder’s Shares must be purchased by us if any such Shares so tendered are purchased.
Sale or Exchange Treatment. If a U.S. Holder is treated under the Section 302 tests as recognizing gain or loss from the “sale or exchange” of the Shares for cash, such gain or loss will be equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares exchanged therefor. Generally, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares will be equal to the cost of the Shares to the U.S. Holder reduced by any previous returns of capital. Any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of the Shares exceeds one year as of the date of the exchange. Long-term capital gain is currently subject to a reduced rate of tax for non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder must calculate gain or loss separately for each block of Shares (generally, Shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction). A U.S. Holder may be able to designate which blocks of Shares it wishes to tender and the order in which different blocks will be purchased in the event that less than all of its Shares are tendered.
Distribution Treatment. If a U.S. Holder is not treated under the Section 302 tests as recognizing gain or loss from the “sale or exchange” of Shares for cash, the entire amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer will be treated as a distribution by the Company with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Shares. The distribution will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to such Shares. Such a dividend would be includible in income without reduction for the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares exchanged. Currently, dividends are taxable at a maximum rate of 20% for non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) if certain holding period and other requirements are met. To the extent that amounts received pursuant to the Offer that are treated as distributions exceed a U.S. Holder’s allocable share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital, causing

28



a reduction in the tax basis of such U.S. Holder’s Shares, and any amounts in excess of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis will constitute capital gain. Any remaining tax basis in the Shares tendered will be transferred to any remaining Shares held by such U.S. Holder.
To the extent that cash received in exchange for Shares is treated as a dividend to a corporate U.S. Holder, (i) it generally will be eligible for a dividends-received deduction (subject to certain requirements and limitations) and (ii) it generally may be subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code. Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the availability of the dividends-received deduction and the application of the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code in their particular circumstances.
Consequences of the Offer to Non-U.S. Holders.
Sale or Exchange Treatment. Gain realized by a non-U.S. Holder on a sale of Shares for cash pursuant to the Offer generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax if the sale is treated as a “sale or exchange” under the Section 302 tests described above under “Consequences of the Offer to U.S. Holders-Characterization of the Purchase-Distribution vs. Sale Treatment” unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the non-U.S. Holder maintains a United States permanent establishment to which such gain is attributable);

the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

our Shares constitutes “United States real property interests” by reason of our status as a United States real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for United States federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for our Shares.
A non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point above will be required to pay United States federal income tax on the net gain derived from the disposition generally in the same manner as if such non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder, and, if such non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate if so specified by an applicable income tax treaty) may apply to any effectively connected earnings and profits.
A non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to United States federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) on the gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses, even though the non-U.S. Holder is not considered a resident of the United States.
With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe that we are not currently a USRPHC. The determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our United States real property interests relative to the fair market value of our other trade or business assets and our non-U.S. real property interests. In the event we are a USRPHC, as long as our Shares are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Shares will be treated as United States real property interests only with respect to a non-U.S. Holder that actually or constructively held more than 5% of our Shares at any time during the shorter of (i) the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Shares. If gain on the disposition of Shares were subject to taxation under the third bullet point above, the non-U.S. Holder would be subject to regular United States federal income tax with respect to such gain in generally the same manner as a United States person.
Distribution Treatment. If a non-U.S. Holder is not treated under the Section 302 tests as recognizing gain or loss on a “sale or exchange” of Shares for cash, the entire amount of cash received by such non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer (including any amount withheld, as discussed below) will be treated as a distribution by us with respect to the non-U.S. Holder’s Shares. The treatment for United States federal income tax purposes of such distribution as a dividend, tax-free return of capital, or gain from the sale or exchange of Shares will be determined in the manner described above under “Consequences of the Offer to U.S. Holders-Distribution Treatment.” Except as described in the following paragraphs, to the extent that amounts received by the non-U.S. Holder are treated as dividends, such dividends will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate specified in an applicable income tax treaty). To obtain a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax treaty, a non-U.S. Holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the non-U.S. Holder is a non-U.S. person and the dividends are subject to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to, and the procedure for obtaining, benefits under an applicable income tax treaty.
Amounts treated as dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States are not subject to United States federal withholding tax but instead, unless an applicable tax treaty provides

29



otherwise, generally are subject to United States federal income tax in the manner applicable to U.S. Holders, as described above. To claim exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States, the non-U.S. Holder must comply with applicable certification and disclosure requirements by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the non-U.S. Holder is a non-U.S. person and the dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States and includible in that holder’s gross income. In addition, a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may be subject to a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate if so specified by an applicable income tax treaty), on dividends effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, subject to certain adjustments.
Withholding For Non-U.S. Holders. Because, as described above, it is unclear whether the cash received by a non-U.S. Holder in connection with the Offer will be treated (i) as proceeds of a sale or exchange or (ii) as a distribution, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat such payment as a dividend distribution for withholding purposes. Accordingly, payments to non-U.S. Holders may be subject to withholding at a rate of 30% of the gross proceeds paid, unless the non-U.S. Holder establishes an entitlement to a reduced rate of withholding by timely completing, under penalties of perjury, the applicable IRS Form W-8 as discussed above. To the extent non-U.S. Holders tender Shares held in a United States brokerage account or otherwise through a United States broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee, such non-U.S. Holders should consult such United States broker or other nominee and their own tax advisors to determine the particular withholding procedures that will be applicable to them.
A non-U.S. Holder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any United States federal tax withheld if such shareholder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests described above under “Consequences of the Offer to U.S. Holders-Characterization of the Purchase-Distribution vs. Sale Treatment” or if the shareholder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty and a higher rate was withheld.
Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of participation in the Offer, including the application of United States federal income tax withholding rules, eligibility for a reduction of or an exemption from withholding tax, and the refund procedure, as well as the applicability and effect of state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to shareholders in the Offer may be reported to the IRS. In addition, under the United States federal income tax laws, backup withholding at the statutory rate (currently 24%) may apply to the amount paid to certain shareholders (who are not “exempt” recipients) pursuant to the Offer. To prevent such backup United States federal income tax withholding, each non-corporate shareholder who is a U.S. Holder and who does not otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding must notify the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent of the shareholder’s taxpayer identification number (employer identification number or social security number) and provide certain other information by completing, under penalties of perjury, an IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is included in the Letter of Transmittal. Failure to timely provide the correct taxpayer identification number on the IRS Form W-9 may subject the shareholder to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS.
Certain “exempt” recipients (including, among others, generally all corporations and certain non-U.S. Holders) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. For a non-U.S. Holder to qualify for such exemption, such non-U.S. Holder must submit a statement (generally, an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable Form W-8), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such non-U.S. Holder’s exempt status. A copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or from the IRS website (www.irs.gov). A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the IRS Form W-9. See Instruction 10 to the Letter of Transmittal.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund of such amounts if they timely provide certain required information to the IRS.
FATCA. Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, commonly referred to as “FATCA,” and related administrative guidance, a United States federal withholding tax of 30% generally will be imposed on dividends that are paid to “foreign financial institutions” and “non-financial foreign entities” (as specifically defined under these rules), whether such institutions or entities hold Shares as beneficial owners or intermediaries, unless specified requirements are met. Because, as discussed above, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat amounts paid to non-U.S. Holders in the Offer as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes, such amounts may also be subject to withholding under FATCA if such requirements are not met. In such case, any withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, any 30% withholding tax on dividend

30



distributions as discussed above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their disposition of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding to their particular circumstances and the availability of, and procedure for obtaining, an exemption from backup withholding.
THE TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE OFFER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

14.     Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment.
We expressly reserve the right to extend the period of time the Offer is open and delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any Shares by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary and making a public announcement of such extension. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer and to the rights of a tendering shareholder to withdraw such shareholder’s Shares.
We also expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, not to accept for payment and not pay for any Shares not previously accepted for payment or paid for, subject to applicable law, to postpone payment for Shares or terminate the Offer upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in Section 7 by giving oral or written notice of the termination or postponement to the Depositary and making a public announcement of the termination or postponement. Our reservation of the right to delay payment for Shares that we have accepted for payment is limited by Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(5), which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return the Shares tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
Subject to compliance with applicable law, we further reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, and regardless of whether any of the events set forth in Section 7 have occurred or are deemed by us to have occurred, to amend the Offer in any respect, including, without limitation, by changing the per Share purchase price range or by increasing or decreasing the value of Shares sought in the Offer. Amendments to the Offer may be made at any time and from time to time by public announcement of the amendment. In the case of an extension, the amendment shall be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the last previously scheduled or announced Expiration Date. Any public announcement made pursuant to the Offer will be disseminated promptly to shareholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform shareholders of the change. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement, except as required by applicable law, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any public announcement other than by issuing a press release to the Dow Jones News Service or comparable service.
If we materially change the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will extend the Offer to the extent required by Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(e)(3) and 13e-4(f)(1). This rule and related releases and interpretations of the SEC provide that the minimum period during which an Offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the Offer or information concerning the Offer (other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of the terms or information. If:

we increase or decrease the price range to be paid for Shares or increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer (and thereby increase or decrease the number of Shares purchasable in the Offer), and, in the event of an increase in the value of Shares purchased in the Offer, the number of shares accepted for payment in the Offer increases by more than 2% of the outstanding Shares, and

the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth business day from, and including, the date that notice of such an increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to security holders in the manner specified in this Section 14,
then in each case the Offer will be extended until the expiration of the period of at least ten business days. For purposes of the Offer, a “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 A.M. through 12:00 midnight, New York City time.
In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer. See Section 1.

15.     Fees and Expenses.
We have retained Georgeson Securities Corporation to act as the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offer. The Dealer Manager may communicate with brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies with respect to the Offer. No commission will be paid to the Dealer Manager. We will pay the Dealer Manager a reasonable and customary fee for the services it provides. We have also agreed to indemnify the Dealer Manager against liabilities in connection with the Offer, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

In the ordinary course of business, including in their trading and brokerage operations and in a fiduciary capacity, the Dealer Manager and its affiliates may hold positions, both long and short, for their own accounts and for those of their customers, in our securities. The Dealer Manager may from time to time hold Shares in its proprietary accounts, and, to the extent it owns Shares in these accounts at the time of the Offer, the Dealer Manager may tender the Shares pursuant to the Offer.
We have retained Georgeson LLC to act as Information Agent and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. to act as Depositary in connection with the Offer. The Information Agent may contact holders of Shares by mail, telephone, telegraph and personal interviews and may request brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominee shareholders to forward materials relating to the Offer to beneficial owners. The Information Agent and the Depositary will each receive reasonable and customary compensation for their respective services, will be reimbursed by us for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified against certain liabilities in connection with the Offer.
We will not pay any fees or commissions to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees (other than fees to the Dealer Manager and the Information Agent as described above) for soliciting tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders holding Shares through brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees are urged to consult the brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees to determine whether transaction costs may apply if shareholders tender Shares through the brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees and not directly to the Depositary. We will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and related materials to the beneficial owners of Shares held by them as a nominee or in a fiduciary capacity. No broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee has been authorized to act as our agent or the agent of the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary for purposes of the Offer. We will pay or cause to be paid all stock transfer taxes, if any, on our purchase of Shares except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof and Instruction 7 in the Letter of Transmittal.

16.     Miscellaneous.
We are not aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the Offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If we become aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the Offer or the acceptance of Shares pursuant to the Offer is not in compliance with any applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with the applicable law. If, after a good faith effort, we cannot comply with the applicable law, the Offer will not be made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, the holders of Shares residing in that jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction where the securities, “blue sky” or other laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer will be deemed to be made on our behalf by the Dealer Manager or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of the jurisdiction.
Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13e-4, we have filed with the SEC the Schedule TO, which contains additional information relating to the Offer. The Schedule TO, including the exhibits and any amendments thereto, may be examined, and copies may be obtained, at the same places and in the same manner set forth in Section 10 with respect to information concerning our company.

YOU MUST SIGN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL WHERE INDICATED BELOW AND COMPLETE THE IRS FORM W-9 PROVIDED BELOW OR APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used if either certificates for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), being tendered are to be forwarded with this Letter of Transmittal or, unless an Agent’s Message (defined below) is utilized, if delivery of Shares is to be made by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at The Depository Trust Company, which is referred to as the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2018 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”). Tendering shareholders must deliver either the certificates for, or timely confirmation of book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase with respect to, their Shares and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary by 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018 (as this time may be extended at any time or from time to time by Mannatech in its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Tendering shareholders whose certificates for Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver either the certificates for, or timely confirmation of book-entry in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase with respect to, their Shares and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary by the time provided immediately above must tender their Shares in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
Your attention is directed in particular to the following:

1.
If you want to retain the Shares you own, you do not need to take any action.

2.
If you want to participate in the Offer and wish to maximize the chance that Mannatech will accept for payment Shares you are tendering by this Letter of Transmittal, you should check the box marked “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” below and complete the other portions of this Letter of Transmittal as appropriate. You should understand that this election may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price (defined below) and could result in your Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share.

3.
If you wish to select a specific price at which you will be tendering your Shares, you should select one of the boxes in the section captioned “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder” below and complete the other portions of this Letter of Transmittal as appropriate.

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED
(See Instruction 5)

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1)
OR (2) BELOW).
 
 1.    SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
 
☐    The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Mannatech will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share for purposes of determining the purchase price in accordance with the terms of the Offer. This may effectively lower the purchase price Mannatech pays for the Shares tendered in the Offer and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $18.50.

2.    SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY SHAREHOLDER

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked. The undersigned understands that this action could result in Mannatech purchasing none of the Shares tendered hereby if the purchase price determined by Mannatech for the Shares is less than the price checked below.

☐    $18.50
☐    $18.75
☐    $19.00
☐    $19.25
☐    $19.50
☐    $19.75
☐    $20.00
☐    $20.25
☐    $20.50
☐    $20.75
☐    $21.00
 
 
 
 

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES.
A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.






CONDITIONAL TENDER
(See Instruction 14)
A shareholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Mannatech pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Mannatech urges shareholders to consult their own financial and tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

☐    The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: _______________________ Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Mannatech may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of his, her or its Shares and checked this box:

☐    The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.

ODD LOTS
(See Instruction 16)

Any shareholder who owns, beneficially or of record, a total of fewer than 100 Shares, may elect to have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of or purchase of any other tendered Shares.

The undersigned either (check one box):

☐    is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered, and elects the Odd Lot Priority,

OR

☐    is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that (i) is tendering, for the beneficial owner(s) thereof, Shares with respect to which it is the record holder and (ii) believes, based upon representations made to it by such beneficial owner(s), that each such person was the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered, and elects the Odd Lot Priority for the Shares held by such beneficial owner(s).


LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATE(S)
IF ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SHARES THAT YOU OWN HAS BEEN LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED, PLEASE CONTACT THE DEPOSITARY AT (877) 373-6374 PROMPTLY TO OBTAIN INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE STEPS THAT MUST BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE CERTIFICATE. THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND RELATED DOCUMENTS CANNOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED. PLEASE CONTACT THE DEPOSITARY IMMEDIATELY TO PERMIT TIMELY PROCESSING OF THE REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTATION. SEE INSTRUCTION 13.

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED WHERE INDICATED BELOW. PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.






Ladies and Gentleman:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation (“Mannatech”), the above-described shares of Mannatech’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), at the price per Share indicated in this Letter of Transmittal, to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Mannatech’s Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2018 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and this Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

Subject to and effective on acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Mannatech, all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that are being tendered and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Depositary”), the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to such tendered Shares, to (a) deliver certificates for such tendered Shares or transfer ownership of such tendered Shares on the account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, Mannatech upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned’s agent, of the aggregate purchase price with respect to such tendered Shares, (b) present such tendered Shares for cancellation and transfer on Mannatech’s books and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such tendered Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered Shares and, when the same are accepted for payment, Mannatech will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, security interests, restrictions, charges, claims, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other similar obligations relating to the sale or transfer of the tendered Shares, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, on request by the Depositary or Mannatech, execute any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or Mannatech to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Shares (and any and all such other Shares or other securities or rights), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding on the successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
 
The undersigned understands that:

1.the valid tender of Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Letter of Transmittal constitutes the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer; Mannatech’s acceptance of the tendered Shares will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Mannatech on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;

2.it is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a person acting alone or in concert with others, directly or indirectly, to tender Shares for such person’s own account unless at the time of tender and at the Expiration Date such person has a “net long position” in (a) the Shares that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares for the purpose of tender to Mannatech within the period specified in the Offer, or (b) other securities immediately convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into Shares (“Equivalent Securities”) that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and, upon the acceptance of such tender, will acquire such Shares by conversion, exchange or exercise of such Equivalent Securities to the extent required by the terms of the Offer and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares so acquired for the purpose of tender to Mannatech within the period specified in the Offer. Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person. A tender of Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth in this Letter of Transmittal will constitute the tendering shareholder’s representation and warranty to Mannatech that (y) such shareholder has a “net long position” in Shares or Equivalent Securities being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4, and (z) such tender of Shares complies with Rule 14e-4. Mannatech’s acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and Mannatech upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;

3.Mannatech will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price (the “Final Purchase Price”), not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders;






4.the Final Purchase Price will be the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn;

5.Mannatech reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase or decrease the per Share purchase price and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer. We may increase the value of Shares sought in the Offer to an amount greater than $16 million, subject to applicable law. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer;

6.Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the proration (because more than the number of Shares sought are properly tendered), odd lot priority and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase;

7.Mannatech will return at its expense all Shares it does not purchase, including Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn and Shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders, promptly following the Expiration Date;

8.under the circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Mannatech expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Offer at any time and from time to time, upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, and to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any Shares by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary and making a public announcement thereof. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer and to the rights of a tendering shareholder to withdraw such shareholder’s Shares;

9.shareholders who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date may tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase;

10.Mannatech has advised the undersigned to consult with the undersigned’s own advisors as to the consequences of tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer; and

11.THE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO (NOR WILL TENDERS OF SHARES BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF) HOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE MAKING OR ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THAT JURISDICTION.

The undersigned agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Offer.

Unless otherwise indicated below in the section captioned “Special Issuance Instructions,” please issue the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Shares Tendered.” Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Shares Tendered.” In the event that both the “Special Delivery Instructions” and the “Special Issuance Instructions” are completed, please issue the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) in the name(s) of, and deliver such check and/or return such certificates (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) to, the person or persons so indicated. Please credit any Shares tendered herewith by book-entry transfer that are not accepted for payment by crediting the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility designated above. Appropriate medallion signature guarantees by an Eligible Institution (as defined in Instruction 1) have been included with respect to Shares for which Special Issuance Instructions have been given. The undersigned recognizes that Mannatech has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” to transfer any Shares from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if Mannatech does not accept for payment any of the Shares.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes of this Instruction 1, includes any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) of Shares tendered herewith, unless such registered holder(s) has (have) completed the section captioned “Special Issuance Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (b) such Shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of a Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Agents Association, Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program, or is otherwise an “eligible guarantor institution,” as the term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 17Ad-15, each of the foregoing constituting an “Eligible Institution.” In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6. If you have any questions regarding the need for a signature guarantee, please call the Information Agent at (866) 857-2624.
2. Requirements of Tender. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by shareholders if either certificates are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if delivery of Shares is to be made pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. For a shareholder to validly tender Shares pursuant to the Offer, (a) a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and the certificate(s) representing the tendered Shares, together with any required signature guarantees, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the back of this Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date, (b) a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with any required Agent’s Message and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the back of this Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date and Shares must be delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in this Letter of Transmittal (and a book-entry confirmation must be received by the Depositary) prior to the Expiration Date, or (c) the shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below and in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
Tenders of Shares made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. If Mannatech extends the Offer beyond that time, tendered Shares may be withdrawn at any time until the extended Expiration Date. Shares that have not previously been accepted by Mannatech for payment may be withdrawn at any time after 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Monday, July 16, 2018. To withdraw tendered Shares, shareholders must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the Depositary within the prescribed time period at the address set forth in this Letter of Transmittal. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the tendering shareholder, the number of Shares to be withdrawn, and the name of the registered holder of the Shares. In addition, if the certificates for Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, before the release of the certificates, the tendering shareholder must also submit the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates for Shares to be withdrawn and the signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (except in the case of Shares tendered by an Eligible Institution). If Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal also must specify the name and the number of the account at Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Shares and otherwise comply with the procedures of that facility. Withdrawals may not be rescinded and any Shares withdrawn will not be properly tendered for purposes of the Offer unless the withdrawn Shares are properly re-tendered prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described above.
Shareholders whose certificates for Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date may tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to those procedures, (a) tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by Mannatech, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date and (c) the certificates for all tendered Shares in proper form for transfer (or a book-entry confirmation with respect to all such Shares), together with a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary, in each case within two trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery as provided in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. A “trading day” is any day on which The Nasdaq Global Select Market is open for business. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary, which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Shares that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that Mannatech may enforce such agreement against the participant.





THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF SHARES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT THE SOLE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER. SHARES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED DELIVERED ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF YOU ELECT TO DELIVER BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND THAT YOU PROPERLY INSURE THE DOCUMENTS. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Except as specifically provided by the Offer to Purchase, no alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. No fractional Shares will be purchased. All tendering shareholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of their Shares.
3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in this Letter of Transmittal is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto.
4. Partial Tenders (Not Applicable to Shareholders Who Tender by Book-Entry Transfer). If fewer than all of the Shares represented by any certificate submitted to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled “Description of Shares Tendered.” In any such case, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder(s), unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith. All Shares represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. All Shares held in book-entry by the tendering shareholder will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
5. Indication of Price at Which Shares are Being Tendered. For Shares to be properly tendered, the shareholder MUST either (1) check the box in the section captioned “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” in order to maximize the chance of having Mannatech accept for payment all of the Shares tendered (subject to the possibility of proration) or (2) check the box indicating the price per Share at which such shareholder is tendering Shares under “Shares Tendered At Price Determined by Shareholder.” Selecting option (1) could result in the shareholder receiving a price per Share as low as $18.50. ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) MAY BE CHECKED. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THEN THERE IS NO PROPER TENDER OF SHARES. A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO TENDER PORTIONS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S SHARE HOLDINGS AT DIFFERENT PRICES MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SUCH SHAREHOLDER WISHES TO TENDER EACH SUCH PORTION OF SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S SHARES. The same Shares cannot be tendered more than once, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, at more than one price.
6. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change or alteration whatsoever.
If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
If any Shares tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.
If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, he or she should so indicate when signing and submit proper evidence satisfactory to Mannatech of his or her authority to so act.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price is to be made, or certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued, to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the certificate(s) representing such Shares must be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificate(s). The signature(s) on any such certificate(s) or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.





7. Stock Transfer Taxes. Mannatech will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to it pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person(s) other than the registered owner(s), or if Shares tendered hereby are registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such person(s) will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption from the payment of such taxes is submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
Except as provided in this Instruction 7, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this Letter of Transmittal.
8. Special Delivery and Issuance Instructions. If a check for the purchase price of any Shares accepted for payment is to be issued in the name of, and/or certificates for any Shares not accepted for payment or not tendered are to be issued in the name of and/or returned to, a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or if a check is to be sent, and/or such certificates are to be returned, to a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed.
9. Waiver of Conditions; Irregularities. All questions as to the number of Shares to be accepted, the purchase price to be paid for Shares to be accepted, the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares and the validity (including time of receipt) and form of any notice of withdrawal of tendered Shares will be determined by Mannatech, in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. Mannatech may delegate power in whole or in part to the Depositary. Mannatech reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Shares that Mannatech determines are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of Mannatech’s counsel, be unlawful. Mannatech reserves the absolute right to reject any notices of withdrawal that it determines are not in proper form. Mannatech also reserves the absolute right, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to waive any of the conditions of the Offer prior to the Expiration Date, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal with respect to any particular Shares or any particular shareholder (whether or not Mannatech waives similar defects or irregularities in the case of other shareholders), and Mannatech’s interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including these instructions) will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event a condition is waived with respect to any particular shareholder, the same condition will be waived with respect to all shareholders. No tender or withdrawal of Shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering or withdrawing shareholder or waived by Mannatech. Mannatech will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal of Shares. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders or withdrawals must be cured within the period of time Mannatech determines. None of Mannatech, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any tender or withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
10. Backup Withholding. In order to avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments of cash pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. Holder (as defined below) tendering Shares in the Offer must (a) qualify for an exemption, as described below, or (b) provide the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent with such U.S. Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (i.e., social security number or employer identification number) on IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is included with this Letter of Transmittal, and certify under penalties of perjury that (i) the TIN provided is correct, (ii) (x) the U.S. Holder is exempt from backup withholding, (y) the U.S. Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that such U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (z) the IRS has notified the U.S. Holder that such U.S. Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). If a U.S. Holder does not provide a correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the IRS may impose a $50 penalty on such U.S. Holder and payment of cash to such U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate (currently 24%).
A “U.S. Holder” is any shareholder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test under Section 7701(b) of the Code, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or, if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, and it has elected to continue to be treated as a United States person.





Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding, provided that the required information is timely given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained upon timely filing an income tax return.
A tendering U.S. Holder is required to give the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent the TIN of the record owner of the Shares being tendered. If the Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which number to report.
If a U.S. Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such U.S. Holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the IRS Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9. Writing “Applied For” means that a U.S. Holder has already applied for a TIN or that such U.S. Holder intends to apply for one soon. Notwithstanding that the U.S. Holder has written “Applied For” in Part I, the Depositary will withhold the applicable statutory rate (currently 24%) on all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.
Some shareholders are exempt from backup withholding. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, exempt shareholders should consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance.
Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) should complete and sign the main signature form and IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid backup withholding. A copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or from the IRS website (www.irs.gov). A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a shareholder that is not a U.S. Holder. A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the IRS Form W-9. See the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for more instructions.
11. Withholding on Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, because it is unclear whether the cash you receive in connection with the Offer will be treated (i) as proceeds of a sale or exchange or (ii) as a distribution, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat such payment as a dividend distribution for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes. Accordingly, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you may be subject to withholding on payments to you at a rate of 30% of the gross proceeds paid, unless the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent determines that a reduced rate of withholding is available pursuant to a tax treaty or that an exemption from withholding is applicable because such gross proceeds are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States. See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent, before the payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming such a reduction. In order to claim an exemption from withholding on the grounds that the gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, a Non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent, before the payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI. A Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any U.S. federal tax withheld if such Non-U.S. Holder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests described in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase or is otherwise able to establish that such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty and a higher rate was withheld.
Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, commonly referred to as “FATCA,” and related administrative guidance, a United States federal withholding tax of 30% generally will be imposed on dividends that are paid to “foreign financial institutions” and “non-financial foreign entities” (as specifically defined under these rules), whether such institutions or entities hold Shares as beneficial owners or intermediaries, unless specified requirements are met. Because, as discussed above, the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent may treat amounts paid to Non-U.S. Holders in the Offer as dividend distributions for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes, such amounts may also be subject to withholding under FATCA if such requirements are not met. In such case, any withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, any 30% withholding tax on dividend distributions as discussed above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their disposition of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
NON-U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING RULES, INCLUDING ELIGIBILITY FOR A WITHHOLDING TAX REDUCTION OR EXEMPTION, AND THE REFUND PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
Any payments made pursuant to the Offer, whether to U.S. or Non-U.S. Holders, that are treated as wages will be subject to applicable wage withholding (regardless of whether an IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 is provided).





12. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. If you have questions or need assistance, you should contact the Information Agent or the Dealer Manager at their respective addresses and telephone numbers set forth on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal. If you require additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the IRS Form W-9 or other related materials, you should contact the Information Agent. Copies will be furnished promptly at Mannatech’s expense.
13. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any certificate representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the shareholder should promptly notify the Depositary at (877) 373-6374. The shareholder will then be instructed by the Depositary as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen certificates have been followed.
14. Conditional Tenders. As described in Sections 3 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase, shareholders may condition their tenders on all or a minimum number of their tendered Shares being purchased.
If you wish to make a conditional tender you must indicate this in the box captioned “Conditional Tender” in this Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. In this box in this Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, you must calculate and appropriately indicate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are to be purchased.
As discussed in Sections 3 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase, proration may affect whether Mannatech accepts conditional tenders and may result in Shares tendered pursuant to a conditional tender being deemed withdrawn if the minimum number of Shares would not be purchased. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, because of proration (because more than the number of Shares sought are properly tendered), the minimum number of Shares that you designate will not be purchased, Mannatech may accept conditional tenders made at or below the Final Purchase Price by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, you must have tendered all of your Shares and check the box so indicating. Upon selection by lot, if any, Mannatech will limit its purchase in each case to the designated minimum number of Shares.
All tendered Shares will be deemed unconditionally tendered unless the “Conditional Tender” box is completed. If you are an Odd Lot Holder (defined below) and you tender all of your Shares, you cannot conditionally tender, since your Shares will not be subject to proration. Each shareholder is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor.
The conditional tender alternative is made available so that a shareholder may seek to structure the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer in such a manner that the purchase will be treated as a sale of such Shares by the shareholder, rather than the payment of a dividend to the shareholder, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from the shareholder in order for the shareholder to qualify for sale rather than dividend treatment. Each shareholder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.
15. Order of Purchase in Event of Proration. As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, shareholders may designate the order in which their Shares are to be purchased in the event of proration. The order of purchase may have an effect on the U.S. federal income tax classification and the amount of any gain or loss on the Shares purchased. See Section 1 and Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.
16. Odd Lots. As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, any person who owns, beneficially or of record, a total of fewer than 100 Shares (“Odd Lot Holder”), will have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of or purchase of any other tendered Shares (the “Odd Lot Priority”).
If the Company purchases less than all Shares tendered and not withdrawn before the Expiration Date, the Shares purchased first will consist of all Shares tendered by any Odd Lot Holder who elects to take the Odd Lot Priority by completing the box captioned “Odd Lots” in this Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
Even if you otherwise qualify for the Odd Lot Priority, you will not receive such preferential treatment unless you affirmatively elect to take it in this Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, TOGETHER WITH ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEES, OR, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, AN AGENT’S MESSAGE, AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE AND EITHER CERTIFICATES FOR TENDERED SHARES MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY OR SHARES MUST BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, IN





EACH CASE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE, OR THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER MUST COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES FOR GUARANTEED DELIVERY.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation (“Mannatech”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2018 and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the number of shares of common stock of Mannatech, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), listed below, pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
Number of Shares to be tendered:                                                       Shares.
NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED WHERE INDICATED BELOW
PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED
(See Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal)
THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) BELOW):
(1)    SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER
By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
☐    The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Mannatech will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration).
Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share for purposes of determining the purchase price in accordance with the terms of the Offer. This may effectively lower purchase price Mannatech pays for the Shares tendered in the Offer and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $18.50.
(2)    SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY SHAREHOLDER
By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked. The undersigned understands that this action could result in Mannatech purchasing none of the Shares tendered hereby if the purchase price determined by Mannatech for the Shares is less than the price checked below.
☐    $18.50
  
☐    $18.75
  
☐    $19.00

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES. A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.






ODD LOTS
(See Instruction 16 to the Letter of Transmittal)

Any shareholder who owns, beneficially or of record, a total of fewer than 100 Shares may elect to have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of or purchase of any other tendered Shares.

On the date hereof, the undersigned either (check one box):

☐    is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered, and elects the Odd Lot Priority (as defined in the Offer to Purchase),

OR

☐    is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that (i) is tendering, for the beneficial owner(s) thereof, Shares with respect to which it is the record holder and (ii) believes, based upon representations made to it by such beneficial owner(s), that each such person was the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered, and elects the Odd Lot Priority (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for the Shares held by such beneficial owner(s).
CONDITIONAL TENDER
(See Instruction 14 to the Letter of Transmittal)
A shareholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least that minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Mannatech pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Mannatech urges shareholders to consult their own financial or tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.
 
☐    The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: ___________________ Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Mannatech may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:
 
☐    The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.

To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation (“Mannatech”), has appointed us to act as Dealer Manager in connection with its offer to purchase for cash up to $16 million in value of shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all of the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.
Mannatech will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders. Mannatech will select the lowest purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow it to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price (defined below), Shares having an aggregate value of less than $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Mannatech will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. The price Mannatech will select is sometimes referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.” Only Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price for the Shares, regardless of any delay in making such payment. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price. Mannatech reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Mannatech may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer.
Mannatech reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Offer upon the occurrence of certain conditions more specifically described in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, or to amend the Offer in any respect, subject to applicable law.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $16 million, or such greater amount as Mannatech may elect to pay, subject to applicable law, have been validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price, Mannatech will accept the Shares to be purchased in the following order of priority: (i) from all shareholders who beneficially own fewer than an aggregate of 100 Shares who properly tender all of their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and who comply with all of the odd lot priority requirements set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, (ii) from all shareholders who properly tender Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price, on a pro rata basis, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase and with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares and (iii) only if necessary to permit Mannatech to purchase $16 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as Mannatech may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), from holders who have tendered Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the holder’s Shares be purchased if any Shares are purchased in the Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must





have tendered all of their Shares. Therefore, it is possible that Mannatech will not purchase all of the Shares tendered by a shareholder even if such shareholder tenders its Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price. Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of proration provisions will be returned to the tendering shareholders at Mannatech’s expense promptly after the Expiration Date. See Section 1, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase.
The Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions. See Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.

May 18, 2018
To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated May 18, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”) in connection with the offer by Mannatech, Incorporated, a Texas corporation (“Mannatech”), to purchase for cash up to $16 million in value of shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all of the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.
Mannatech will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified, or deemed specified, by tendering shareholders. Mannatech will select the single lowest purchase price, not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, that will allow it to purchase $16 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price (defined below), Shares having an aggregate value of less than $16 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Mannatech will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. The price Mannatech will select is sometimes referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.” Only Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price for the Shares, regardless of any delay in making such payment. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price. Mannatech reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mannatech may increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without extending the Offer.
Mannatech reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Offer upon the occurrence of certain conditions more specifically described in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, or to amend the Offer in any respect, subject to applicable law.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $16 million, or such greater amount as Mannatech may elect to pay, subject to applicable law, have been validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price, Mannatech will accept the Shares to be purchased in the following order of priority: (i) from all shareholders who beneficially own fewer than an aggregate of 100 Shares who properly tender all of their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and who comply with all of the odd lot priority requirements set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal; (ii) from all shareholders who properly tender Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price, on a pro rata basis, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase and with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares and (iii) only if necessary to permit Mannatech to purchase $16 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as Mannatech may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), from holders who have tendered Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the holder’s Shares be purchased if any Shares are purchased in the Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must





have tendered all of their Shares. Therefore, it is possible that Mannatech will not purchase all of the Shares that you tender even if you tender them at or below the Final Purchase Price. Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of proration provisions will be returned to the tendering shareholders at Mannatech’s expense promptly after the Expiration Date. See Section 1, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase.
The Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions. See Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.
We are the owner of record of Shares held for your account. As such, we are the only ones who can tender your Shares, and then only pursuant to your instructions.
WE ARE SENDING YOU THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY; YOU CANNOT USE IT TO TENDER SHARES WE HOLD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.
Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares we hold for your account on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
Please note the following:
 
1.
You may tender your Shares at prices not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, as indicated in the attached Instruction Form, to you in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

2.
You should consult with your broker or other financial or tax advisors on the possibility of designating the priority in which your Shares will be purchased in the event of proration.
 
3.
The Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, unless Mannatech extends the Offer.

4.
The Offer is for up to $16 million in value of Shares. At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $21.00 per Share, Mannatech could purchase 761,904 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed (representing approximately 28.0% of the Shares outstanding as of April 30, 2018). At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $18.50, Mannatech could purchase 864,864 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed (representing approximately 31.8% of the Shares outstanding as of April 30, 2018).

5.
Tendering shareholders who are tendering Shares held in their name or who tender their Shares directly to the Depositary will not be obligated to pay any brokerage commissions or fees to Mannatech or to the Dealer Manager, or, except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes on Mannatech’s purchase of Shares under the Offer.

6.
If you wish to tender portions of your Shares at different prices, you must complete a separate Instruction Form for each price at which you wish to tender each such portion of your Shares. We must submit separate Letters of Transmittal on your behalf for each price you will accept for each portion tendered.

7.
If you wish to condition your tender upon the purchase of all Shares tendered or upon Mannatech’s purchase of a specified minimum number of the Shares which you tender, you may elect to do so and thereby avoid possible proration of your tender. Mannatech’s purchase of Shares from all tenders at or below the Final Purchase Price that are so conditioned (and for which the condition was not initially satisfied) will be determined by random lot. To elect such a condition complete the box entitled “Conditional Tender” in the attached Instruction Form.

YOUR PROMPT ACTION IS REQUESTED. YOUR INSTRUCTION FORM SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO US IN AMPLE TIME TO PERMIT US TO SUBMIT A TENDER ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, AT THE END OF FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2018, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Shares, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the attached Instruction Form. If you authorize us to tender your Shares, we will tender all such Shares unless you specify otherwise on the attached Instruction Form.





The Offer is being made solely under the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and is being made to all record holders of Shares of Mannatech. The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Shares of Mannatech residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

The undersigned acknowledge(s) receipt of your letter and the enclosed Offer to Purchase, dated May 18, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”), in connection with the offer by Mannatech Incorporated, a Texas corporation (“Mannatech”), to purchase for cash up to $16 million in value of shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $21.00 nor less than $18.50 per Share, to each seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.
The undersigned hereby instruct(s) you to tender to Mannatech the number of Shares indicated below or, if no number is specified, all Shares you hold for the account of the undersigned, at the price per Share indicated below, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

 ☐    The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Mannatech will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by Mannatech in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $18.50 per Share for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). This may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $18.50.

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked.

A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE INSTRUCTION FORM FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.

ODD LOTS
(See Instruction 16 to the Letter of Transmittal)

Any shareholder who owns, beneficially or of record, a total of fewer than 100 Shares, may elect to have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of or purchase of any other tendered Shares.

On the date hereof, the undersigned:

☐    is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered, and elects the Odd Lot Priority (as defined in the Letter of Transmittal).
CONDITIONAL TENDER
(See Instruction 14 to the Letter of Transmittal)
A shareholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Mannatech pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Mannatech urges shareholders to consult their own financial and tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.
☐    The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is:                                  Shares.
If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Mannatech may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of his, her or its Shares and checked this box:
 
☐    The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.

The method of delivery of this document, is at the election and risk of the tendering shareholder. If delivery is by mail, then registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.

Mannatech’s Board of Directors has authorized Mannatech to make the Offer. However, none of Mannatech, any of the members of its Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary makes any recommendation to shareholders as to whether they should tender or refrain from tendering their Shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which any shareholder may choose to tender Shares. None of Mannatech, nor any of the members of its Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary has authorized any person to make any recommendation with respect to the Offer. Shareholders should carefully evaluate all information in the Offer to Purchase, consult their own financial and tax advisors and make their own decisions about whether to tender Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and the purchase price or purchase prices at which to tender.

In a modified Dutch auction tender offer, the company conducting the buyback specifies a price range at which it will buy back shares, and each shareholder who is interested in selling shares may offer to purchase them at the minimum price they are willing to accept per share, as well as specify the amount of shares they are willing to sell back. The company examines the offers and buys the shares at the lowest price that allows it to repurchase the pre-determined amount of shares.

The Company anticipates that Georgeson Securities Corporation will be the dealer manager for the tender offer, Georgeson LLC will serve as the information agent for the tender offer, and Computershare Trust Company N.A. will serve as the depositary for the tender offer.

Mannatech Commences Cash Tender Offer to Purchase up to $16 Million of its Common Stock

(Flower Mound, Texas) May 18, 2018 Mannatech, Incorporated ("Mannatech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, announces today it has commenced 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").
 
The closing price of Mannatech's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") on May 16, 2018, two trading days prior to the commencement of the tender offer, was $15.65 per share. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, June 15, 2018, unless the offer is extended.

The Company believes that the repurchase of its stock pursuant to the tender offer is consistent with its ongoing goal to maximize shareholder value. The board of directors evaluated the Company's operations, financial condition, capital needs, regulatory requirements, strategy and expectations for the future and believes that the tender offer is a prudent use of the Company's financial resources and determined that a tender offer is an appropriate mechanism to return capital to shareholders that seek liquidity under current market conditions and allowing shareholders who do not participate in the tender offer to share in a higher portion of the Company's future potential.

The tender offer is not contingent upon obtaining any financing; however, the tender offer is subject to certain terms and other conditions, which are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 18, 2018, and the related Letter of Transmittal and other materials pertaining to the tender offer that Mannatech has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Georgeson Securities Corporation is the dealer manager for the tender offer. Georgeson LLC is serving as the information agent for the tender offer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is serving as depositary for the tender offer.
