Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

Our Audit Committee reviews all relationships and transactions, including relationships and transactions with our directors, director nominees, executive officers and their immediate family members, as well as holders known by us to own more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and their family members, who have a direct or indirect material interest. Although the Board does not have a formal policy with respect to related party transactions, in approving or rejecting such proposed transactions, our Audit Committee considers the nature of the related party transaction, the amount and material terms of the transaction, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to Mannatech than terms generally available in a similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party, whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of Mannatech, and other facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our Audit Committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Our purpose is to assist the Board in overseeing its financial reporting, internal controls, and audit functions. Larry A. Jobe has been the Audit Committee’s Chairman since February 2007 and is designated by the Board as the financial expert of our Audit Committee. Other members currently include Messrs. Tyler J. Rameson, John A. Seifrick, and Robert Toth. The Board has determined that each of the Audit Committee’s members meet the independence and financial literacy requirements for purposes of serving on such committee under applicable rules of Nasdaq and the SEC. We operate under a written charter adopted by the Board. We review and address the adequacy of our charter on an annual basis. See our Fifth Amended and Restated Charter of the Audit Committee, which is posted on the Company’s corporate website at ir.mannatech.com.

We are responsible for reviewing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its systems of internal controls, and internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Our activities are in no way designed to supersede or alter our responsibilities or the responsibilities of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. We assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for oversight of the quality and integrity of the Company’s accounting, auditing, and reporting practices, and such other duties as directed by the Board. Our role does not provide any special assurances with regard to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of audits performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. We strengthened our ability to assist the Board of Directors, and formed a subcommittee called the Disclosure Committee. The Disclosure Committee is comprised of high-level employees and officers who report to us and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Disclosure Committee is responsible for reviewing all of the Company’s filings with the SEC. We have furnished the Board with the following report:

We have reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management their audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the certification process required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company has represented to us that its consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also discussed the following with BDO USA, P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm: (i) the auditor’s responsibilities, (ii) any significant issues arising during the audit, and (iii) the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB. We received the written disclosures from BDO USA, P.C. required by Rule 3526 of the PCAOB. We have discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence from Company management. In addition, we have discussed the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and Company management.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board and the Board subsequently approved that the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.
