Exhibit 99.1 - Preliminary Information Statement
Summary
Our Competitive Strengths
Global Scale at Retail, page 2
1. We note your revised
disclosures in response to our prior comment 3. We partially re-
issue our comment, as
you have not disclosed the number of your active customers for
prior comparable
periods. Please revise to disclose how many active customers you had
in previous years for
comparison. In this regard, we note your response that "[b]ecause
the number of active
customers in 2020 was negatively impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, our 25
million active customers in 2020 represent a decline from 32 million
active customers in
each of 2019 and 2018."

provide context for investors, please amend your disclosure to provide a
representative
amount or range of royalties (i.e., a range expressed within ten
percentage points or a
statement that a percentage is in the low single digits, teens, etc.)
that your partners are
typically required to pay you under your franchise, license, and
wholesale arrangements.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
