COMPLETES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
DALLAS, May 7, 2007 — Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ:BHIP) announced today that it has consummated a private placement financing generating gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the financing to provide additional working capital for the Company.
The financing consisted of the sale of 1,759,307 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.70 per share. The preferred stock is convertible at the election of the holder into an equivalent number of shares of common stock. The financing also included the sale of warrants evidencing the right to purchase 1,759,307 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.00001 per underlying share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time during the period beginning six months after their issuance and ending six years following their issuance. The exercise price of the warrants varies from $3.80 to $5.00 per share, depending on the time of exercise. In connection with the financing, the Company agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to exercise its reasonable best efforts to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants.
Mr. Chris Sharng, President of Natural Health Trends Corp., said: “We are pleased that the placement is fully subscribed. Most importantly, most of the proceeds come from our own members in Greater China. We think it is strategically advantageous that more of our members align their interests with those of our stockholders. Their subscription represents their commitment to the Company and the business.”
The sale of the preferred stock and warrants was made pursuant to a Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement between the Company and each purchaser. The sale was made to qualified U.S. buyers in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Neither the preferred stock nor the warrants are registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws.
