Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Further to the stock repurchase program announced by Natural Health Trends Corp. (the “Company”) on July 28, 2015, on October 28, 2015 the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with George K. Broady (“Broady”), the Company’s largest stockholder and a member of its board of directors (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”). The Stock Repurchase Agreement, which the Company and Broady entered into in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provides for the Company’s purchase from Broady of 0.4066 of the number of shares of common stock purchased by the Company’s broker in the open market under the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase program.
As a part of such stock repurchase program, the Company has recently entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Issuer Repurchase Plan with its broker (the “Purchase Plan”) under which the Company’s broker is authorized to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market for a total purchase price of $3,555,000 in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Stock Repurchase Agreement with Broady requires that the Company report to Broady on a weekly basis information regarding the broker’s open market purchases, and that the Company purchase from Broady 0.4066 of the number of shares purchased by the Company’s broker in the open market, which shares shall be purchased on a weekly basis from Broady at a per share purchase price equal to the weighted average price per share paid by the Company’s broker to purchase shares in the open market.
The Company expects to expend approximately $5.0 million in the aggregate under the Stock Repurchase Agreement with Broady and the Purchase Plan, which when combined with the Company's prior expenditures under the stock repurchase program announced on July 28, 2015, would result in aggregate expenditures of approximately $10.0 million, plus transaction costs. Although the Company has reserved the right to discontinue at any time the stock repurchase program, it expects that upon completion of the purchase of shares under the stock repurchase program it will have expended approximately $15.0 million, plus transactions costs.
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
