Key Details

• Agreement date: April 29, 2026; expected close: on or about May 15, 2026.
• Target & seller: AI Geometric Ltd. (United Kingdom).
• Purchase price: US$1,360,000 for a 3.2% ownership stake.
• Consideration: 2,000,000 shares of IPDN common stock (par value $0.01). Issuance subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 and Rule 144 limitations and will rely on Regulation S exemptions for an offshore sale to non‑U.S. persons.

Why It Matters
This filing reports a small, non-cash acquisition of a minority stake paid in IPDN stock. For investors, the deal may affect IPDN’s outstanding share count (potential dilution) and reflects the company’s use of equity rather than cash for strategic investments. The issuance is subject to Nasdaq and securities-law limitations and the transaction has not yet closed, so final outcomes depend on satisfying the closing conditions described in the SPA (filed as Exhibit 10.1).
