Herbalife Kicks Off Triathlon Season

Participation in Coast-to-Coast Endurance Events Demonstrates
Commitment to Healthy, Active Lifestyle

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global nutrition company Herbalife
(NYSE: HLF) kicked off a busy triathlon season this past weekend as part
of a larger year-long sponsorship of major endurance events across the
United States.

“We are excited to once again be involved in the sponsorship of
triathlons across the country,” said Michael Johnson, chairman and CEO,
Herbalife. “The endurance community is one we have a longstanding
relationship with, both through the events we are involved with around
the world, and the successful athletes who benefit from our sports
nutrition products.”

For the eighth straight year, Herbalife was a sponsor of the LA
Triathlon
at Torrance Beach. As this year’s “Official Fluid
Replacement” provider for the LA Triathlon, Herbalife provided its
recovery and hydration products to athletes to ensure participants
received the nutrition needed to complete the triathlon. More than a
thousand triathletes and approximately 350 Herbalife employees attended
this weekend’s event, along with many Herbalife independent members.

In the nation’s capital on the same weekend, Herbalife sponsored the D.C.
Nation’s Triathlon
, one of the premier international distance
triathlons in the United States. Herbalife hosted the official
“Herbalife Recovery Zone” and was the title sponsor of the “Herbalife
Congressional Challenge.” The D.C. Nation’s Triathlon, which saw 3,500
participants, includes a swim in the Potomac River, bike course through
downtown D.C., and a run along Washington D.C.’s monument corridor
adjacent to the nation’s best known memorials and historical landmarks.

Back in California, Herbalife is also sponsoring the Nautica
Malibu Triathlon
. As the first ever endurance event sponsorship in
Herbalife’s history, the Nautica Malibu Triathlon is one of the nation’s
most iconic triathlons and will be held in Zuma Beach on September 20,
2015. Gathering thousands of participants including the world’s finest
athletes, philanthropists, celebrities and supporters, the Nautica
Malibu Triathlon will provide the ultimate fitness experience with a
half-mile ocean swim, 18 mile bike ride and four mile run by the beach.
Fundraising efforts will benefit the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’
Pediatric Cancer Research Program, dedicated to curing and preventing
childhood cancers.

In Chicago, Herbalife is the Official Nutrition, Wellness and Sports
