Canaccord Adams Notes Herbalife (HLF) May Have Hired a Banker and USANA's General Counsel
Canaccord Adams commented on Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) today, noting that MergerMarket reported that the company has hired an investment bank to review a potential private equity sale. In addition, the firm notes that the company has hired the general counsel for USANA, which recently reached a settlement with Barry Minkow and the Fraud Discovery Institute.
