<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;8, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the &#147;Restated Bylaws&#148;), entirely replacing its prior Amended and Restated Bylaws. One purpose of the Restated Bylaws is to bring them into harmony with coinciding amendments to the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation (as described below under Item 8.01 of this report).&#160; These Bylaw changes include phasing out the Company&#146;s classified Board of Directors to provide instead for the annual election of directors, changing the required shareholder vote from 75% to a majority standard for the removal of directors, and to amend certain provisions in the Bylaws relating to directors.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally, the Restated Bylaws include the adoption of a &#147;majority voting standard&#148; for the election of directors in uncontested elections.&#160; Although directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes &#147;withheld&#148; or &#147;against&#148; from his or her election than votes &#147;for&#148; his or her election shall immediately offer to tender his or her resignation following certification of such shareholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall promptly consider the director&#146;s resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the offer. The Board of Directors shall act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote. The preceding majority voting requirements shall not apply in contested elections (that is, when the number of nominees for election exceeds the number of directors to be elected).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Restated Bylaws also clarify that each director&#146;s term shall be until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified or until such director&#146;s earlier death, resignation or removal.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Finally, the Restated Bylaws include several technical changes to improve the overall clarity of the Bylaws and to ensure compliance with current Utah corporate law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Amendments phase out the classification of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors and provide instead for the annual election of directors. They also allow directors to be removed for cause with the affirmative vote of at least a majority, rather than 75%, of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors and remove the prohibition with respect to amendments to Article&nbsp;VI of the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation without the affirmative vote of at least 75% of our shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the amendment and to replace that with a majority voting standard.</font></p>

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this release contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the payment of dividends. Nature's Sunshine may, from time to time, make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, Nature's Sunshine's beliefs, expectations, hopes, or intentions regarding future events.  Words such as "expects," "intends," "believes," "anticipates," "should," "likely," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to the Company as of such date. Nature's Sunshine assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.  Actual results will vary, and may vary materially, from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected for a number of reasons, including, among others: further  reviews  of the Company's financial statements by the Company and its Audit Committee; modification of the Company's accounting practices; foreign business risks; industry cyclicality; fluctuations in customer demand and order pattern; changes in pricing and general economic conditions; as well as other risks detailed in the Company's previous filings with the SEC.
Item 2.02              Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 8, 2013, Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective May 9, 2013, Mr. Mark R. Genender has resigned as a Director of the Company.
Item 5.03              Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 8, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Restated Bylaws"), entirely replacing its prior Amended and Restated Bylaws. One purpose of the Restated Bylaws is to bring them into harmony with coinciding amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (as described below under Item 8.01 of this report).  These Bylaw changes include phasing out the Company's classified Board of Directors to provide instead for the annual election of directors, changing the required shareholder vote from 75% to a majority standard for the removal of directors, and to amend certain provisions in the Bylaws relating to directors.
Additionally, the Restated Bylaws include the adoption of a "majority voting standard" for the election of directors in uncontested elections.  Although directors will continue to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" or "against" from his or her election than votes "for" his or her election shall immediately offer to tender his or her resignation following certification of such shareholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall promptly consider the director's resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the offer. The Board of Directors shall act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote. The preceding majority voting requirements shall not apply in contested elections (that is, when the number of nominees for election exceeds the number of directors to be elected).
The Restated Bylaws also clarify that each director's term shall be until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.
Finally, the Restated Bylaws include several technical changes to improve the overall clarity of the Bylaws and to ensure compliance with current Utah corporate law.

Quarterly Cash Dividend
On May 8, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors had approved the Company's payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on May 30, 2013, to shareholders of record on May 20, 2013.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
On May 10, 2013, following shareholder approval of amendments to Articles VI and IX to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendments") at the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as reported under Item 5.07 of this report, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Amendment") with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. The Articles of Amendment are expected to become effective as of May 10, 2013.
The Amendments phase out the classification of the Company's Board of Directors and provide instead for the annual election of directors. They also allow directors to be removed for cause with the affirmative vote of at least a majority, rather than 75%, of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors and remove the prohibition with respect to amendments to Article VI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation without the affirmative vote of at least 75% of our shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the amendment and to replace that with a majority voting standard.
The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Articles of Amendment, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
