On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a private placement with Ms. Yiran Gu, in which the Company sold 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $2.00 for gross proceeds of $1,000,000.

 

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing a business and operational strategy change with respect to its NAPW Network. Prior to its scheduled launch of a new membership website, the NAPW Network is transitioning to an online membership acquisition model utilizing ecommerce-centric technology to replace the previous telemarketing business model. This change in business strategy is expected to increase productivity and reduce membership acquisition costs. As a result of the change to an ecommerce business model, there was an approximate 50% reduction in customer service representatives in the Company’s NAPW Network during the first quarter of 2021.
