(~~"Zatpack"). In connection with~~ the ~~sale of the Note, Zatpack received an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 992,789 shares of the~~ "Company~~'s common stock for a purchase price of $.5855 per share. (2~~") ~~In December 2001, the Company~~ amended and restated its credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). As a condition to the closing of the Amended Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo required the payment of a closing fee in the aggregate amount of $779,067 (the "Closing Fee"). Zatpack Inc. ("Zatpack") paid the Closing Fee in consideration of the issuance to Zatpack of an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase 865,630 shares of the Company's common stock for a purchase price of $.01 per share (the "Warrant"). On January 31, 2002, Zatpack sold the Warrant for $779,067. (32) Zuellig Group N.A., Inc. ("ZGNA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zatpack, directly owns 988,471 shares of common stock. Zuellig Botanicals, Inc. ("ZBI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZGNA directly owns 1,204,955 shares of common stock. By reason of the control that Zatpack exercises of ZGNA, it may be deemed under Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), to beneficially own all of the shares owned by ZGNA and ZBI. Therefore, Zatpack may be deemed to beneficially own 43,~~051~~186,~~845~~215 shares of common stock, which includes the 1992,~~858,419~~789 shares obtainable by Zatpack upon exercise of ~~the~~certain warrants ~~discussed~~(excluding ~~herein~~the Warrant). This filing shall not be deemed an admission by Zatpack that Zatpack is, for purposes of Section 16 or the Act, the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by this filing. ** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations.
