This Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2017 (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”), and relates to the offer by Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”), to purchase common shares, par value $0.001 per share in the capital, of the Company (the “common shares”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $600 million and at a price per share (i) not greater than $68.00 nor less than $60.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable tax withholding and without interest, plus (ii) a non-transferable contractual contingent value right (a “CVR”) pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, a copy of which is annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(F) (the “CVR Agreement”), to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a Going Private Transaction (as such term is defined in the CVR Agreement) within the time period specified in the CVR Agreement, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, each upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 21, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”), copies of which are annexed to and filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

The Schedule TO, and all the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below. Every Item in the Schedule TO is automatically updated, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference any section of the Offer to Purchase that is amended and supplemented therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

Items 1 through 11.

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Following commencement of the Offer, the reported closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on August 22, 2017 was $69.36, which represents an increase of approximately 11.96% over the $61.95 reported closing price of the common shares on the NYSE on August 18, 2017, the last full trading day before the Company commenced the Offer. Consequently, the condition set forth below and contained in Section 7— “Conditions of the Tender Offer” of the Offer to Purchase was triggered. On August 28, 2017, the Company determined to waive the following condition:

 

    any increase or decrease in excess of 10% in the market price for the common shares, measured from the close of trading on August 18, 2017, the last full trading day before we commenced the Offer, to the close of trading on any other trading day during the Offer, up to and including the close of trading on the Expiration Time shall have occurred;

In connection with the Company waiving and amending this condition, the second to last bullet on the bottom of page 4 of the “Summary Term Sheet” in the Offer to Purchase is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

    The reported market price of the common shares at the close of trading on any trading day during the Offer, up to and including the close of trading on the Expiration Time, shall not be greater than $71.40 (which amount is 5% greater than the highest Cash Purchase Price possible under the Offer) or less than $57.00 (which amount is 5% less than the lowest Cash Purchase Price possible under the Offer).

In addition, the third to last bullet on the bottom of page 25 of Section 7— “Conditions of the Tender Offer” in the Offer to Purchase is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

    the reported market price of the common shares at the close of trading on any trading day during the Offer, up to and including the close of trading on the Expiration Time, shall not be greater than $71.40 (which amount is 5% greater than the highest Cash Purchase Price possible under the Offer) or less than $57.00 (which amount is 5% less than the lowest Cash Purchase Price possible under the Offer);

The full text of the press release issued by the Company announcing the foregoing waiver and amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(A) and is incorporated herein by reference.
