Sears catalog revolutionized life in the pioneer days of the United States and
Amazon revolutionized life in the internet age, the Company is applying many of
the same marketing and distribution concepts to increase access for rural and
peri-urban populations.

annual income, the peri-urban and rural populations of the developing world
represent a huge untapped market opportunity.
These
populations remain underserved with no affordable access to basic

distribution to these hundreds of millions of the world’s population, enhancing
