Members to Voice Their Support for the
Company at Press Conference During Extravaganza Weekend in
Chicago
Herbalife (NYSE:HLF), a leading global nutrition company,
announced today that dozens of independent Herbalife members and
independent business owners will hold a press conference during the
Herbalife Extravaganza in Chicago in order to take a stand against
the continuing campaign of attacks and misinformation being waged
by Bill Ackman and Pershing Square Capital Management. Thousands of
Herbalife members from across North America are gathering this
weekend to celebrate the positive impact Herbalife has had on their
lives and in their communities.
“Members like me are under attack by a billionaire hedge fund
manager who has embarked on an unprecedented effort to take down my
way of life, and we want him to know that Herbalife members won’t
stand for it,” said Silvia Muir, an Herbalife member from Palatine,
IL who will be taking part in the press conference.
“Bill Ackman has displayed a bald-faced hypocrisy in his sham
support for Latinos,” said Pablo Caicedo a member from Lincoln
Park, IL who will also be taking part in the press conference. “As
a Latino, I think it’s important for the world to know the truth:
that Bill Ackman is only interested in his own short-sighted
financial goals and has a history of investing in companies that
profited from the detention of undocumented immigrants. He is
hardly a standard bearer for the Latino community.”
“Herbalife has positively impacted my life and I have seen it
positively impact the lives and health of consumers. It is for
these reasons – and many more – that I am compelled to speak up –
for myself, my family and my community,” said Ana Bunay, a member
from Skokie, IL, who will also take part in the press conference.
“We are not going away, and neither are the hundreds of thousands
of Herbalife members, customers and supporters across the U.S.”
The press conference will be held at 11:00 AM CT on July 18,
2014 at Hotel Allegro, 3rd Floor Cinema Room, 171 W Randolph
Street, Chicago, IL and will be open to all credentialed
media.
