In 2016, 91% of our sales were transacted in foreign currencies that were then converted to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes at weighted-average exchange rates. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacted reported revenue by approximately 2% in 2016 compared to 2015 and 8% in 2015 compared to 2014.

We currently offer a limited number of other products and services, including household products and technology services.
|
• |
our sales force can educate consumers about our products face-to-face, which we believe is more effective for differentiating our products than using traditional mass-media advertising;
|
• |
our distribution channel allows for actual product demonstrations and trial by potential consumers;
|
• |
our distribution channel allows our sales force to provide personal testimonials of product efficacy; and
|
• |
as compared to other distribution methods, our sales force has the opportunity to provide consumers higher levels of service and encourage repeat purchases.

"Distributor-Direct Consumers"—Individuals who purchase products directly from an independent distributor at a price established by the distributor.
|
• |
"Company-Direct Consumers"—Individuals who purchase products directly from the company. These consumers are typically referred by a distributor. These consumers generally have the opportunity to
purchase
at a discount if they participate in our subscription and/or loyalty programs. These individuals do not have the right to build a Nu Skin business by reselling product or by recruiting others.
|
• |
"Basic Distributors"—Distributors who purchase products at a discount for personal or family use or for resale to other consumers. These individuals are not eligible to receive compensation on a multi-level basis unless they elect to qualify as a Sales Leader under our global sales compensation plan. We consider these individuals to be part of our consumer group, as we believe a significant majority of these distributors are purchasing products for personal use and not actively recruiting others, and their purchasing levels are similar to our "Company-Direct Consumers."
|
• |
"Sales Leaders and Qualifiers"—Distributors who have qualified or are trying to qualify as a Sales Leader. These are the distributors who have made an election to try to qualify as a Sales Leader and are actively recruiting consumers and distributors and building a sales network under our global sales compensation plan, and constitute our sales network.
|
• |
by reselling products purchased from the company to consumers
; and
|
• |
through commissions earned on the sale of products under our global sales compensation plan.

(1) |
As of December 31, 2016, the current portion of the Company's debt (i.e. becoming due in the next 12 months) included $13.5 million of the balance of its U.S. dollar denominated debt under the Credit Agreement facility, $6.0 million of the balance of its Japanese yen-denominated debt under the Credit Agreement facility, $10.0 million of the Korea subsidiary loan and $5.7 million of the Japan subsidiary loan. The Company has classified the $47.5 million borrowed under the revolving line of credit and the $10.0 million of the Korea subsidiary loan as short term because it is the Company's intention to use the line of credit to borrow and pay back funds over short periods of time as well as pay off the Korea subsidiary loan in 2017.
|

The carrying value of the debt reflects the amounts stated in the above table less a debt discount of $12.8 million and debt issuance costs of $5.5 million (consisting of $15.1 million related to the Convertible Note and $3.2 million related to the credit agreement), which is not reflected in this table.

Heirs and Successors

(i)
|
A Participant's Restricted Stock Unit deferrals will be automatically and irrevocably allocated to a Fund that tracks the performance of the Company's Stock (the "
Company Stock Unit Fund
"). Participants may not select any other Fund to be used to determine the amounts to be credited or debited to their Restricted Stock Unit deferrals. Furthermore, no other portion of the Participant's Accounts can be either initially allocated or re-allocated to the Company Stock Unit Fund. Amounts allocated to the Company Stock Unit Fund shall only be distributable in actual shares of Stock.
|
(ii) |
Any stock dividends, cash dividends or other non-cash dividends that would have been payable on the Stock credited to a Participant's Accounts shall be credited to the Participant's Accounts in the form of additional shares of Stock and shall automatically and irrevocably be deemed to be re-invested in the Company Stock Unit Fund until such amounts are distributed to the Participant. The number of shares credited to the Participant for a particular stock dividend shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of Stock credited to the Participant's Account as of the payment date for such dividend in respect of each share of Stock, multiplied by (B) the number of additional or fractional shares of Stock actually paid as a dividend in respect of each share of Stock. The number of shares credited to the Participant for a particular cash dividend or other non-cash dividend shall be equal to (A) the number of shares of Stock credited to the Participant's Account as of the payment date for such dividend in respect of each share of Stock, multiplied by (B) the fair market value of the dividend, divided by (C) the "fair market value" of the Stock on the payment date for such dividend.
|
(iii)
|
The number of shares of Stock credited to the Participant's Account may be adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights with respect to the portion of his or her Account allocated to the Company Stock Unit Fund
in the event of any reorganization, reclassification, stock split, or other unusual corporate transaction or event which affects the value of the Stock, provided that any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of shares of Stock to the Participant under this Section.
|
(iv)
|
For purposes of this Section 3.3.3, the fair market value of the Stock shall be, in the event the Stock is traded on a recognized securities exchange, an amount equal to the closing price of the Stock on such exchange on the date set for valuation or, if no sales of Stock were made on said exchange on that date, the closing price of the Stock on the next preceding day on which sales were made on such exchange; or, if the Stock is not so traded, the value determined, in its sole discretion, by the Committee in compliance with Section 409A.
|
a.
|
Minimum Age
. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, impose a minimum age requirement for Participants in order to make allocations to Guarantee+, and may alter any such minimum age requirement on a prospective basis.
|
b.
|
Minimum Contribution
. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, impose a minimum contribution requirement on allocations to Guarantee+, and may alter any such minimum contribution requirement on a prospective basis. Such minimum contribution may be satisfied through (i) the reallocation of deferrals and vested Company Contributions under the Plan to Guarantee+, (ii) the allocation of new deferrals and new vested Company Contributions, if any, to Guarantee+, or (iii) a combination of these approaches.
|
c.
|
Maximum Contribution
. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, impose a maximum contribution requirement on allocations to Guarantee+. Such maximum contribution requirement may be on a dollar or percentage basis, or such other basis as the Plan Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is appropriate, and such maximum contribution requirement may be imposed prospectively to limit future contributions by new and/or existing Participants, including Participants that have previously allocated amounts to Guarantee+.
|
d.
|
Limitations on Allocations to Guarantee+
. Only amounts that are subject to distribution in the form of a lump sum may be allocated to Guarantee+; that is, any amounts subject to distribution in the form of installment payments may
not
be allocated to Guarantee+. In addition, no amounts subject to a Scheduled Withdrawal may be allocated to Guarantee+. Further, only Company Contributions that are vested may be allocated to Guarantee+, and such Company Contributions must be subject to the same lump sum distribution as the Participant's voluntary deferrals. Unvested Company Contributions may
not
be allocated to Guarantee+. No amounts attributable to deferrals of Restricted Stock Units may be allocated to Guarantee+
|
e.
|
Crediting of Deferrals and Contributions to Guarantee+
. The crediting of deferrals and contributions to Guarantee+ shall occur at the time or times determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, which may differ from the time or times for crediting deferrals and/or contributions to other investment crediting options or Accounts under the Plan.

Restrictions on Allocations Out of Guarantee+
. The Plan Administrator may impose such restrictions regarding allocations out of Guarantee+ as it determines, in its sole discretion, are warranted. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, (i) the forfeiture of a portion of amounts previously allocated to Guarantee+ in order to mirror the surrender charges that would be applicable to an annuity contract, (ii) a prohibition on re-allocation of any amounts back into Guarantee+ for a predetermined period of time, and/or (iii) a requirement that any allocation out of Guarantee+ must occur on a total basis (i.e., 100% of amounts in the Guarantee+ option must be allocated out). If the Participant does not elect any of the other investment crediting options available under the Plan at the time of such allocation out of Guarantee+, the applicable amount shall automatically be allocated into the lowest-risk investment crediting option, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.
|
h.
|
Impact of Changes to Distribution Elections
. If a Participant changes his or her distribution election applicable to amounts allocated to Guarantee+ such that the amounts are no longer to be distributed in a lump sum, the Plan Administrator may determine that such distribution election change shall automatically result in an allocation out of Guarantee+ and shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to allocations out of Guarantee+ in effect at that time. The allocation out of Guarantee+ shall occur, and the applicable restrictions on such allocations out of Guarantee+ shall be imposed, as soon as reasonably practicable following submission of the distribution election change. If the Participant does not elect any of the other investment crediting options available under the Plan at the time of such automatic allocation out of Guarantee+, the applicable amount shall automatically be allocated into the lowest-risk investment crediting option, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.
|
i.
|
Payment in the Form of Annuity Contract Upon Separation from Service
. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, payment of amounts allocated to Guarantee+ may, in the Plan Administrator's sole discretion, be in the form of a transfer of an annuity contract in lieu of a lump sum cash payment on the applicable Payment Date following the Participant's Separation from Service. As noted above, the Participant shall have no interest in any annuity contract or other assets prior to the time that his or her benefits become payable from the Plan and the Participant's interest in Guarantee+ prior to distribution shall merely be that of an unsecured general creditor. For amounts allocated to Guarantee+, the valuation date for determination of the Distributable Amount following Separation from Service shall be the date the date of transfer of ownership of the annuity contract.
|
j.
|
Impact of Other Distribution Events Prior to Separation from Service
. Notwithstanding a Participant's allocation of amounts to Guarantee+, in the event that the Participant dies prior to Separation from Service, the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as applicable, shall receive a distribution in cash in accordance with the applicable provisions in the Plan.

(c)

In the absence of a Participant making a distribution election, the default form of payment shall be lump sum.
Participant's Account shall continue to be credited with earnings pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan until all amounts credited to his Account under the Plan have been distributed.

These payments will be made in February of the year(s) selected. By way of clarification, Scheduled Withdrawals shall not be available from the Company Contribution Account.
|
(b)
|
A Participant may extend the Scheduled Withdrawal for any Plan Year, provided such extension occurs at least one year before the Scheduled Withdrawal and is for a period of not less than five years from the Scheduled Withdrawal.

Participant authorizes the Company, Morgan Stanley and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant's participation in the Plan, including any transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon exercise of Performance Options may be deposited.

Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant's consent is that the Company may not be able to grant Participant Performance Options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

|
17.
|
Court's Right to Modify Restriction
: The parties have attempted to limit the Employee's right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect Company from unfair competition. The parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in making such a determination.
