Upon completion of the Distribution, DSS and its subsidiary, DSSI, will retain an ownership interest of approximately 7% in Sharing Services Global Corporation. 

Ramping up Revenue Growth in Sharing Services

Sharing Services main points of business are through the company’s two 100% owned subsidiaries, The Happy Co. and Hapi Travel Destinations. The Happy Co. operates in the health and wellness industry and markets its products primarily through an independent sales force utilizing a direct sales business model under the proprietary brand, “The Happy Co.” The subscription-based travel services subsidiary, My Travel Ventures , offers deep discounts for travel relating to airfare, cruises, hotels, resorts, timeshares and rental cars for destinations throughout the world.

Recently, Sharing Services entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) to acquire the exclusive franchise rights in North America to the brand Hapi Café™ from Hapi Café, Inc. Under the MFA, the Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, will operate no less than five corporate-owned stores and will offer licensing rights for others to operate. Each corporate-owned, or licensed, Hapi Café location will provide customers and Brand Partners seeking a healthier lifestyle access to functional, healthy food and beverages, a pleasant workspace with free Wi-Fi service, physical fitness, nutrition management, personal workout video content, and My Travel Ventures™ services.

“Sharing Services is the first of several planned dividends to DSS shareholders that will enable us to focus on and continue to optimize other business in the DSS incubation pipeline while providing DSS shareholders with a separately traded equity in Sharing Services." said Frank D. Heuszel, CEO of DSS, Inc. 

John “JT” Thatch, CEO of Sharing Services Global Corporation, added, “We look forward to having DSS shareholders as part of our shareholder base through the direct distribution of SHRG shares.  We also are excited to grow the relationship with DSS and see great potential with them as we expand our distribution network and global footprint to create additional revenue and growth.”
