        <footnote id="F1">These shares are vested shares resulting from the achievement of a share price milestone pursuant to an April 1, 2020 performance-based restricted stock unit grant (PRSU), comprising 9,319 shares granted to the reporting Person on April 1, 2020 and 485 shares granted to the reporting person in connection with a special dividend on April 12, 2021. The share price milestone of $12.20 was achieved on October 14, 2020 and, as a result, one-twelfth of the PRSU grant vested on such date and another one-twelfth vested on October 14, 2021, which was one-year following the achievement of such milestone.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents shares of NATR common stock withheld to pay taxes upon vesting of restricted stock units, comprising 3,668 shares granted to the reporting Person on April 1, 2020 and 191 shares granted to the reporting person in connection with a special dividend on April 12, 2021. The number of shares withheld was determined on October 14, 2021, based on the closing price of NATR common stock on that date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These shares are in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs). Each PRSU represents the right to receive one share of NATR common stock. The vesting of the PRSUs is contingent upon the achievement of the following share price milestones, which must be achieved within three years: $9.92; $12.20; $14.50; $16.78; $19.07; and $21.36. Such milestones must be achieved as evidenced by the Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a period of 30-trading days. One-twelfth of the PRSUs vest upon the achievement of each milestone and an additional one-twelfth vests on the date that is one-year following the achievement of such milestone subject to the recipient's continued employment.</footnote>
