Natural Health Trends Buys Back Broady Family's 25.5 Percent Stake

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- February 17, 2026

Natural Health Trends said it has repurchased 2,935,227 shares of its common stock, about 25.5 percent of shares outstanding, from irrevocable trusts of the Broady family, the George K. Broady 2012 Irrevocable Trust and the Eleanor Jane Broady 2012 Irrevocable Trust, at 2.00 dollars per share, or about 5.9 million dollars in total.

The privately negotiated transaction was approved by a special committee of the board and completed under the company's existing 70 million dollar repurchase program, which has about 16.0 million dollars remaining. After the purchase, the company has 8,577,848 shares outstanding, and it said its annual dividend payments will fall by about 1.2 million dollars.

"This privately negotiated transaction allows us to efficiently retire a large block of shares in a single, orderly transaction at an attractive price, addressing the perceived stock overhang and significantly reducing our shares outstanding," said President Chris Sharng.
