This Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the Amendment) filed by Herbalife Nutrition Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the Company), amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 18, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO filed on April 27, 2018, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO filed on May 16, 2018, and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO filed on May 25, 2018 (collectively, with any amendments and supplements hereto, this Schedule TO). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to purchase common shares, par value $0.0005 per share in the capital, of the Company (the common shares), for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $600 million at a price per share not greater than $54.00 nor less than $49.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable tax withholding and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 18, 2018 (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. The Offer expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Thursday, May 24, 2018.
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.

Based on the final tender count, and taking into consideration the effect of odd lot priority on the proration factor, the final proration factor for the tender offer was 22.991123% of the shares properly tendered at or below the Cash Purchase Price of $52.50 per share.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and based on the final count by the Depositary, the Company accepted for purchase 11,428,571 common shares of the Company at a Cash Purchase Price of $52.50, for a total cash cost of approximately $600 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer.

The Depositary will promptly pay for the common shares accepted for purchase and promptly return all shares tendered and not accepted for purchase.
The Company expects to cancel all of the shares purchased pursuant to the Offer on June 4, 2018. After giving effect to the purchase and cancellation of the shares, the Company will have approximately 165.1 million common shares outstanding.
