Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 26, 2010, Herbalife International of America, Inc. (the "Company"), a subsidiary of Herbalife, Ltd. ("Parent"), and Brett R. Chapman, the Company’s General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, entered into an amendment to Mr. Chapman’s amended and restated employment agreement dated as of June 1, 2010 (such amendment the "Chapman Amendment"). On December 28, 2010, the Company and Richard P. Goudis, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, entered into an amendment to Mr. Goudis’ amended and restated employment agreement dated as of January 1, 2010 (such amendment, the "Goudis Amendment"). Under their amended and restated employment agreements as in effect prior to these amendments, should Mr. Chapman or Mr. Goudis have become entitled to payments that were subject to excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company was obligated to pay Mr. Chapman or Mr. Goudis, as the case may be, gross-up payments so as to bear the full burden of that excise tax. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Parent’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan), half of the then-unvested equity awards granted to Mr. Chapman or Mr. Goudis would vest and become exercisable as of immediately prior to such Change of Control. As a result of these amendments, the Company is no longer obligated to pay Mr. Chapman or Mr. Goudis a gross-up payment in the event that payments made to them under their respective amended and restated employment amendments are subject to excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. In consideration of his agreeing to this amendment, in the event of a Change of Control, all of the then-unvested equity awards granted to Mr. Chapman or Mr. Goudis will vest and become exercisable as of immediately prior to such Change of Control. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Chapman Amendment and the Goudis Amendment, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively.
