dividend rate of $0.70 per share. The initial quarterly dividend will be payable on April 7, 2006 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on March 24, 2006. Prior to this recently announced
dividend, we had not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our acquisition
by Artal in 1999.
Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our
Board of Directors, after taking into account our financial results, capital requirements and other
factors they may deem relevant. Our Board of Directors may decide at any time to decrease the
amount of dividends or discontinue the payment of dividends based on these factors. The Weight
Watchers International credit facility also contains restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our
common stock. See ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Dividends’’ for a description of these restrictions.
