The LifeVantage Board, under Mr. Mauro’s leadership as Chairman, has been delivering persistently poor performance for over a decade.

Key Points: 
  • The LifeVantage Board, under Mr. Mauro’s leadership as Chairman, has been delivering persistently poor performance for over a decade.
  • And though revenue levels have recently steadied, in our view, there is not enough accountability at the Board-level to generate meaningful returns for stockholders.
  • Over the past several years, the number of LifeVantage distributors and active customers has been in perpetual decline.
  • Stockholders should look no further than LifeVantage’s 10-year, $30 million deal inked with major league soccer team Real Salt Lake for jersey and stadium sponsorship.
