<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On February 5, 2014, the Board of Directors
(the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Medifast, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) approved an amendment to Article I, Section 1.5 of the
Company&rsquo;s By-laws (the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;), effective as of such date, to adopt a majority voting standard for the election
of directors in uncontested elections. The Board believes the adoption of the Amendment is in the stockholders&rsquo; long-term
best interests, and is consistent with the Company&rsquo;s desire to more closely align the interests of the stockholders with
the accountability of the Board. The new majority voting standard provides that to be elected, in an uncontested election, a director
nominee must receive a majority of the votes cast in the election such that the number of shares voted &ldquo;for&rdquo; the nominee
must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to that director. In contested elections where the number of nominees exceeds the
number of directors to be elected, the voting standard will continue to be a plurality of votes cast.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">If a nominee who is an incumbent director
is not elected, the director shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nomination Committee will make a recommendation
to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the
Nomination Committee&rsquo;s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from
the date of the certification of the election results. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in
the recommendation of the Nomination Committee or in the Board&rsquo;s decision.</P>
