of the Franck Provost Salon Group in the newly formed entity, Provalliance. The Company acquired an additional equity interest in Provalliance
in March 2011. On February 20, 2008, the Company acquired the capital stock of Cameron Capital I, Inc. (CCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Cameron Capital Investments, Inc. CCI owned and operated PureBeauty and BeautyFirst salons. On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its
Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret), which included CCI. Additionally, the Company continues to acquire hair and retail product salons.
