During the Quarter the Company operated and delivered over 60 unique social/ecommerce/direct-to consumer sales engagement events across multiple platforms for its represented brands and products.

RLG platform operation and promotion activities during the Quarter
In line with the model and reach of Pinduoduo, China's largest online shopping platform in terms of the number of active users totalling over 850 million1, RLG's store and marketplace platform connect farmers and distributors with consumers directly through interactive shopping experience in a combination of group buying and social shopping where users can share their purchases on social media and can form a team to achieve a lower purchase price for shoppers and drive sales volume for RLG.

RLG is achieving strong sales growth from the first product line launched, with the Company expecting to continue to expand the range of products sold through the platform over the coming months.

RLG expects that this strong sales performance will continue through FY2022, supported by the Company's current balance sheet.
RLG's revenue mix is increasingly progressing from marketing services fees to scalable product sales, validating its vision of being a platform between global suppliers and Chinese consumers.
