(NASDAQ:USNA). Gull and Unity have increased the price of the cash offer from $26.00 to $28.00 per share. This offer price represents the purchasers’ best and final offer, and is the highest price permitted, while meeting revolver availability requirements, under their debt financing commitment. The increased offer price is 34.4% higher than the closing price on the day prior to Gull’s announcement of its intention to commence the original offer, and a 39.1% premium to the volume weighted average price for the 30 days prior to that announcement.
