Professional Diversity Network, Inc. Announces Investor Meetings in China

CHICAGO, Aug. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Professional Diversity Network, Inc., (NASDAQ:IPDN) (“PDN” or the “Company”), a global developer and operator of online and in-person networks that provides access to networking, training, educational and employment opportunities for diverse professionals, today announced it will be holding targeted meetings with qualified investors and institutions in China beginning the week of August 28. 

The Company previously announced its successful entry in the Chinese market with respect to its international education services division - through its new subsidiary AETSI, Inc. - as well as its international professional training division - through its Shared Economy Events.  As reported in the Company's most recent 10-Q, it has already derived revenue from its entry in the Chinese market.

This week’s investor presentations represent a continuation of the Company’s previously announced disclosures regarding its enhanced investor relations practices aimed at promoting greater transparency.

Jim Kirsch, PDN Executive Co-Chair, stated, “Our mission remains not only to perform at a high level of operational excellence, but to make sure that investors have the information necessary to make informed investment decisions about us. Recent actions, including insider purchases by both our CEO and me, are indicative of a continuing confidence in our ability to build sustainable shareholder value. While we believe our financial results will ultimately speak for themselves, we are also keenly aware of the continuing importance of consistent and clear messaging. In light of our previous entry into the China market, believing it to represent an apt and sizeable market opportunity, we are looking forward to meeting with investors from the region.”

A copy of the Company’s investor presentation may be found in Form 8K filed with the SEC on August 28, 2017. The aforementioned investor meetings do not serve as precursors to an additional offering or equity issuance. The Company has not amended its position regarding future issuances as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K or recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
