Herbalife Announces Three-Year Sponsorship of Top International Triathlon Events and 2012 Olympic Prospect.

LOS ANGELES -- Following the success of its first ever major UK sponsorship deal in 2005, Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF), which provides weight-management, nutritional supplements and personal care, announces the extension of its official nutrition sponsorship of both the Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon and the Blenheim Triathlon until 2008.

To complement the sponsorship deal, Herbalife will continue to sponsor Olly Freeman, the current under-20 European Junior Triathlon Champion, World Junior Duathlon Champion and London Junior Triathlon Champion, who this year will compete at senior level for the first time. Herbalife has entered into a three year deal as the young athlete's official nutrition sponsor. As a genuine medal potential for the Olympics UK in 2012, Freeman will be featured in all marketing material surrounding both triathlons and compete as part of 'Team Herbalife.'

"With a 25 year heritage of helping people achieve a healthier and more active lifestyle through weight management, good nutrition and exercise, it seemed natural that we would demonstrate this by supporting the fastest growing multi-sport pastime in the world," said Wynne Roberts, senior vice president and managing director of Herbalife's Europe, Middle East and Africa region. "The London and Blenheim Triathlons are respectively the largest and second largest triathlons in the UK and represent an ideal way for us to raise awareness of our brand and reach new audiences. We were delighted with the results of last year's sponsorship so are very pleased to announce this extension."

Herbalife's parallel position as official nutrition sponsor of Olly Freeman makes the company the Olympic hopeful's first major sponsor. Freeman is widely positioned to do well at both the Beijing Olympics and the subsequent 2012 Olympics in London.

"Olly Freeman is a highly talented and ambitious young athlete, with a great personality - we believe he is an ideal ambassador for us and represents the drive and commitment shown by our successful independent distributors around the world," added Roberts.
