On July 29, 2014, USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors promoted Kevin G. Guest to President of USANA world-wide effective August 1, 2014. Mr. Guest, 51, joined USANA on a part-time basis in April 2003, as Executive Director of Media and Events. Following the Company’s acquisition of FMG Productions, a media, video, and event productions company that was founded by Mr. Guest, he became a full-time employee of the Company and was promoted to Vice President of Media and Events in February 2004. In January 2006, he was appointed as the Company’s Executive Vice President of Marketing and served in that role until July 2008, when he was appointed Chief Marketing Officer. Mr. Guest served in this role until May 2011, when he was appointed as President of North America. In October 2012, he was appointed as President of the Americas, Europe and South Pacific and served in this capacity until his promotion to President. Prior to joining USANA full-time, from 1992 to February 2004, Mr. Guest served as the Managing Partner of FMG Productions. Mr. Guest has been part of the media production arena for more than 20 years and has received numerous awards for producing, directing, and writing. He has overseen USANA’s audio, video, and event productions worldwide since the Company’s inception. Mr. Guest earned a B.A. in Communications from Brigham Young University.
Mr. Guest will focus his efforts as President on world-wide sales growth, customer growth and sales force development. He will receive an annual salary of $600,000 and a one-year cash bonus of $100,000, which will be paid quarterly.

Mr. Guest will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s 401K plan and to receive medical and other benefits coverage, which is generally available to the Company’s other employees.
Beginning August 3, 2014, David A. Wentz, Chief Executive Officer, will reduce his time in the office for one year to spend more time with his family. During this time, Mr. Wentz will focus his efforts primarily on strategic initiatives, business development, the True Health Foundation and customer events, including the Company’s international and regional conventions. He intends to return to his full-time role on August 3, 2015. For this period of time, Mr. Wentz recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, an adjustment to his base salary to $300,000, as well as an adjustment to his eligibility to receive compensation under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan to 50% of the actual payout, if any, under the plan.
