$BTH Blyth, Inc. Rejects Unsolicited Conditional Proposal From CVSL
GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Blyth, Inc. (NYSE: BTH), a direct to consumer company and leading designer and marketer of health & wellness products, beauty products and candles and accessories for the home sold through the direct selling and direct marketing channels, today announced that its Board of Directors, after careful review and consultation with its legal and financial advisors, has unanimously rejected the unsolicited conditional proposal from CVSL, Inc. to acquire Blyth.
The Board of Directors announced further that it had retained the law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz to provide legal services and Jefferies LLC to provide financial advisory and similar services to Blyth, and conducted a thorough review with management and the aforementioned advisors of the unsolicited proposal from CVSL to acquire, subject to conditions, all of the public common shares of Blyth for a per share consideration of $16.75, payable in CVSL shares or cash.
The Board of Directors cited the following as major reasons for its rejection of the offer, based on both the terms outlined in CVSL's offer letter dated October 25, 2013, and information obtained in subsequent discussions between Blyth's and CVSL's advisors:
•The offer was not supported by any committed debt or equity financing.
•The offer potentially required Blyth public shareholders to take as consideration a debt instrument for a portion of the purchase price.
•The offer required the management of Blyth, as well as significant shareholders of Blyth, to take as consideration stock (in CVSL or a subsidiary) for all or a portion of the purchase price for their shares of Blyth.
•The advisors to CVSL, in discussions with Blyth's advisors, indicated that there was no capacity to raise additional debt at CVSL. Consequently, any debt raised to finance the cash portion of the purchase price would be raised based solely on the leverage capacity of Blyth.
•The offer required using Blyth's cash and cash equivalents to repay Blyth's existing indebtedness and did not address the ongoing working capital needs of Blyth's domestic and international businesses.
Blyth, Inc., headquartered in Greenwich, CT, USA, is a direct to consumer business focused on the direct selling and direct marketing channels. It designs and markets health & wellness products, beauty products and candles and accessories for the home through the direct selling channel, utilizing both the network marketing and home party plan methods.

ViSalus, Inc. Announces Ernest Ross as New 5-Star Ambassador
Blyth(NYSE:BTH)
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ViSalus, Inc., the company behind the #1 90-Day weight-loss and fitness challenge platform in North America, announced today that Ernest Ross has earned the rank of 5-Star Ambassador in only 17 months. Ross now joins ViSalus' elite leadership ranks and qualifies to earn up to $250,000 of the Ambassador Million Dollar Bonus.
A Georgia native, Ross' focused passion is to help people become healthier. Working as a fitness trainer in his local market, he was introduced to ViSalus' Body by Vi Challenge™ through a client. After witnessing the results of others using the Vi-Shape® Shake, Ross was thrilled to join the company. "I've always been passionate about helping people improve their health and fitness, so I was simply telling everybody I knew about the Body by Vi Challenge," said Ross.
Although Ross had no previous experience in network marketing, he was determined to succeed. After only six months of encouraging people to take on The Challenge and enrolling more promoters, Ernest became a Vi Ambassador. "I got involved with ViSalus for all the right reasons," said Ross. "You can't do it for the money; it's more than that. It's about changing people's lives."
The Challenge has taken Ross' fitness and professional dreams to an all-new high. "Achieving 5-Star Ambassador is amazing and a great feat," said Ross. "It's a wonderful feeling to set a goal and reach it, and I'm ecstatic for my family, my team and ViSalus."
Ross has helped thousands of individuals nationwide, and he attributes his success to the realization that ViSalus' mission perfectly aligns with his passion for health and nutrition. As he works toward earning the Diamond Ambassador rank, he advises people to promote The Challenge with their heart. "Don't rely on business cards; go out there and get personal," said Ross. "People will see your heart and read your passion, and you will always win."

$BTH
Accum - silently with insiders making big purchases
time for the fun to begin $BTH
so we have VERT and a 10% spread to the down side
sorry folks, I am holding but this is just plain bullshit
should have dumped as soon as my shares cleared
hope I am eating my words eventually
the point of which the desperation smells so bad it permeates thru the copper that connects us all
persistence over resistance gets even the ugliest chap laid
$MDBX
lol alrighty then - we shall see. I'm still hanging around to see what happens
$BTH i didn't get shook out - I took a chance on the downside as a heavy consolidation
with blackrock news im glad I did
You might be onto something....scrap the limos for scrap metal and maybe we can show some revenue
lmao sorry I just cant help myself - in this red market I need a laugh :P
$BTH time to turn around soon
consolidate while the market is crazy then move back up when the overall market is done raping the weak hands
$BTH
allow me to fill you in
ATYG did the following
Revenue: ice cream and lollipops
Profits: candy corn and m&m's
Business Costs and Loss: your hard earned money with a stock with no bid and no volume
Business Outlook: shareholders will not receive any official news releases because there isn't much productivity going on
all imo and yes I am poking fun - not at anyone or their loss just in general since there isn't anything else to do but laugh or cry
