- F1. The filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Prescott Capital") or Phil Frohlich, the managing member of Prescott Capital, is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (the "Issuer") held by Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. (the "Master Fund") for the accounts of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P. and Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P. (together, the "Small Cap Funds"). Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, both Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim such beneficial ownership.
- F2. This Form 4 relates to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held in the account of the Master Fund, of which the Small Cap Funds are general partners. Prescott Capital serves as the general partner and investment manager of the Small Cap Funds and may direct the Small Cap Funds. The Master Fund holds the shares of Common Stock for the accounts of the Small Cap Funds. Prescott Capital receives a portion of the profits in the way of a capital allocation from, and owns a partnership interest in, the Small Cap Funds. Phil Frohlich reports the Common Stock held indirectly by Prescott Capital because, as the managing member of Prescott Capital at the time of purchase, he controlled the disposition and voting of the securities.

5 terms
beneficial owner regulatory
"shall not be construed as an admission that Prescott Capital or Phil Frohlich is or was ... the beneficial owner"
A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.
Rule 16a-1 regulatory
"Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, both Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim such beneficial ownership"
ten percent owner regulatory
"reporting person is indicated as a ten percent owner of the issuer"
capital allocation financial
"Prescott Capital receives a portion of the profits in the way of a capital allocation from the Small Cap Funds"
Capital allocation is the process of deciding how a company or individual uses their money to grow, pay bills, save, or invest. It matters because good decisions can help build wealth and ensure resources are used wisely, while poor choices can limit growth or cause financial problems. Think of it like managing your allowance—deciding whether to spend, save, or invest to meet your goals.
indirect ownership financial
"Common Stock held indirectly by Prescott Capital because it controlled the disposition and voting"
