Under the SEC’s procedures, Mannatech’s response to the Wells Notice, along with the responses of Mr. Fenstermacher and Mr. Jobe, were submitted to the Staff on October 3, 2008. In a letter dated October 31, 2008 and received on November 4, 2008, the Staff informed Mannatech that it has now concluded its investigation and has determined not to recommend enforcement action against Mannatech or the individuals.
