Executive Summary
President/CEO Christopher Pair announces departure from supplement company as a result of "mutual agreement," effective Oct. 18. No successor has been named; an executive committee is running the firm until the board appoints a new leader. Company is negotiating severance terms with Pair, who has been with Herbalife since 1985 and will remain an executor of the Mark Hughes Family Trust. Although few details of his exit were released, investors previously have questioned Pair's business practices in light of the negative financial direction the firm has taken since founder Hughes' death in May 2000 (1"The Tan Sheet" July 30, p. 11)
