Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On
February 1, 2021, Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Ms. Yiran Gu
(the “Investor”), an individual and a resident of the People’s Republic of China, in connection with the purchase
by the Investor of 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a price of $2.00 per share for
gross proceeds of $1,000,000. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place on February 4, 2021.
The
issuances of the Shares are exempt from registration due to the exemption found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The sales were offshore
transactions since the offerees/purchasers were outside the United States at the time of the purchase. Further, there were no
directed selling efforts of any kind made in the United States either by the Company or any affiliate or other person acting on
the Company’s behalf in connection with the offerings. All offering materials and documents used in connection with the
offers and sales of the securities included statements to the effect that the securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the securities are registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption therefrom is available, and that hedging transactions involving the Shares may not be conducted unless in
compliance with the Securities Act. The Investor certified that it is not a U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation
S) and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell the Shares only in accordance
with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration. The Shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing the Shares will be affixed with a standard
restrictive legend, which states that the Shares cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
