GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 26, 2012 -- ViSalus, a subsidiary of Blyth, Inc., today withdrew its initial public offering due to uncertain market conditions. ViSalus has achieved Net Sales growth in excess of 450% in the first half of 2012; however, management believes that current market conditions are not conducive to recognizing this level of achievement. As such, Blyth management supports fully this decision.
