On March 28, 2017, Julie Rasmussen provided JRjr33, Inc. (the “Company”) with notice of her resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective March 31, 2017 so that she may completely devote her time and attention to an engagement that allows her to serve the United States in a matter involving a particular area of her expertise: current US-Russia foreign relations. Ms. Rasmussen, a fluent Russian speaker, has over 30 years of direct experience working with US companies in Russia. She has extensive knowledge of Russian history, economics and politics, from both her real-life experience and from extensive graduate level studies. For the last four years, she has served on the National Advisory Council at The Harriman Institute for Russian, Eurasian and East European Studies at Columbia University, one of the world's leading academic institutions devoted to Russian, Eurasian and East European studies. Ms. Rasmussen’s resignation from the Board was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company, and the Company fully supports her new engagement. Ms. Rasmussen has served on the Board since 2013.
