Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person was previously granted, and reported, certain RSU awards. The number of shares underlying such awards were adjusted pursuant to the terms of the original grant as a result of a special cash dividend paid by the Company on April 12, 2021. Incremental shares granted pursuant to such adjustments are reported in the aggregate with 231 relating to a January 1, 2019 grant; and 1,746 relating to a March 30, 2020 grant. Of the total number of incremental shares granted, 730 shares immediately vested in order to match the original grants of shares, which vested after the record date of the special dividend, but before the payment date.
2. Represents shares of NATR common stock withheld to pay taxes upon the grant of immediately vested restricted stock units granted to the reporting person in connection with a special dividend. The number of shares withheld was determined on April 12, 2021, based on the closing price of NATR common stock on that date.
3. These shares are in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs). Each PRSU represents the right to receive one share of NATR common stock. The vesting of the PRSUs is contingent upon six growth rate milestones related to NATR's closing stock price that may be attained within a three-year performance period ending December 4, 2021. Remaining PRSUs vest in connection with achievement of the following stock price milestones: $19.91; $22.63; and $25.34.

5. These shares are in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs). Each PRSU represents the right to receive one share of NATR common stock. The vesting of the remaining PRSUs is contingent upon the achievement of the following share price milestone, which must be achieved within a three-year performance period ending March 30, 2023: $20.36, as adjusted for a special dividend. Such milestone must be achieved as evidenced by the Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a period of 30-trading days. One-twelfth of the PRSUs vest upon the achievement of each milestone and an additional one-twelfth vests on the date that is one-year following the achievement of such milestone subject to the recipient's continued employment.
