Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 2, 2022, Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 attached to this report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective July 29, 2022, John DeSimone, one of the named executive officers in the Company’s 2022 proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2022 (the “2022 Proxy Statement”), transitioned from President to Executive Vice Chairman, a part-time and non-executive role.

In his new role, Mr. DeSimone will receive an annual base salary of $348,000 and be eligible for an annual bonus targeted at 80% of base salary. Additionally, beginning in 2023, he will be eligible to receive an equity incentive award having a grant date fair value of $650,000, of which 75% will be granted in the form of performance-based stock units (with performance criteria to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors) and 25% will be granted in the form of time-based stock units.  Mr. DeSimone’s previously granted equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms.  This transition will not trigger any benefits under the Herbalife International of America, Inc. Executive Officer Severance Plan, as such plan was described in the 2022 Proxy Statement, and, following this transition, Mr. DeSimone will no longer be eligible to receive severance benefits under the plan.
