DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2006--Natural Health Trends Corp. (NASDAQ NMS: BHIP), an international direct-selling company, (the "Company") announced on March 28, 2006 that the Board of Directors (the "Board") and Robert H. Hesse mutually agreed that Mr. Hesse has completed his assignment as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Hesse will continue to serve the Company as a member of its Board of Directors.

达拉斯（商业通讯）－2006年4月3日，自然健康时尚公司（NASDAQ NMS: BHIP），一家国际直销公司，（以下简称“公司”）在2006年3月28日宣布董事会和Robert H. Hesse双方一致同意Hesse先生的代理首席执行官的使命已经完成，即可生效。Hesse先生将作为董事会的一员继续为公司服务。

In addition, as of March 28, 2006, the Board promoted Curtis Broome from President-Greater China and Southeast Asia to the position of President of NHT Global, which was formerly known as "Lexxus International," and will on an interim basis serve as the Company's principal executive officer. The Search Committee of the Board of Directors continues to conduct an active search for a chief executive officer.

另外，从2006年3月28日起，董事会把大中华及东南亚区总裁Curtis Broome提升为NHT环球的总裁并暂时代理首席执行官，NHT环球则是过去大家知道的“雷克撒斯国际”。董事会下属的遴选委员会继续积极寻找一位合适的首席执行官。

Mr. Hesse said, "The state of this Company is strong. Our management talent is deep. We made strategic investments in China, Japan and Mexico that are paying off. The Company just concluded a successful convention in Dallas for our North American market. I feel very confident about the Company's future."

Hesse先生说，“公司的状况稳定，我们的管理人才足智多谋。我们在中国，日本和墨西哥进行的战略投资正在取得成功。至于我们的北美市场，公司刚刚在达拉斯签订一项成功的协议。我对公司的未来充满信心。”

Mr. Broome stated, "Bob has come into this interim role at the helm of the Company at a difficult time and achieved many wonderful accomplishments within a short period of time. We are grateful for his contribution and wish him well in the future."

Broome先生说，“Bob在一个困难时刻临时接手公司，在一个较短时期内就取得了惊人的成绩。我们对他的贡献表示感谢并祝他未来一切都好。”

The Board also formed an Executive Management Committee (the "EMC"), replacing the Office of the Chief Executive, that consists of Mr. Broome, Mr. Sharng, and John Cavanaugh, the President of the Company's MarketVision subsidiary. Terrence Morris, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, will have the right to attend all meetings of the EMC and will liaise with the Board regarding matters addressed by the EMC. The EMC will manage the Company's day-to-day operations and will report directly to the Board. In the event that the Board determines that continued participation with the EMC would interfere with Mr. Morris' exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director, Mr. Morris may be asked to refrain from participating in EMC matters in order to preserve his status as an independent director on the Board. As compensation for Mr. Morris' additional tasks, a monthly payment of $4,000 has been approved by the Board.

董事会已经建立了行政管理委员会（缩写为“EMC”），取代首席执行办公室。委员会由Broome先生，Sharng先生和公司附属子公司MarketVision的总裁John Cavanaugh组成。公司董事会的一位成员Terrence Morris将有权参加行政管理委员会的所有会议并就委员会提交的事务和董事会保持联系。行政管理委员会将负责公司日常运营管理并直接向董事会汇报。万一董事会认为持续参与行政管理委员会的工作与Morris先生作为董事履行独立判断的职责互相冲突时，为保证其独立董事资格将要求Morris先生停止参与行政管理委员会事务。作为Morris先生额外工作的补偿，董事会已批准了月薪4000美元的薪水。

Sir Brian Wolfson decided, for personal reasons, to resign as Chairman of the Board and will continue to serve on the Board as its Vice Chairman. In connection therewith, the Board appointed Randall A. Mason, a member of the Board since May 2003, as its Chairman.

Brian Wolfson爵士由于个人原因决定辞去董事长一职，但将作为副董事长继续留在董事会内。与此相关，董事会任命Randall A. Mason接任董事长，他自2003年5月就进入了董事会。
