Tulsa, Oklahoma--(Newsfile Corp. - December 21, 2022) - Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) ("EDC", or the "Company") (http://www.edcpub.com) today announces the rebranding of its Home Business Division to PAPERPIE and the date of their third quarter fiscal 2023 earnings call.

The Company completed rebranding its Home Business Division and announces its new name, PaperPie. Per Craig White, President and Chief Executive Officer, "Our Home Party Division generates over 85% of our Company's sales. We have seen this Division grow from 6,000 consultants only 10 years ago to as many as 60,000 consultants at its peak during 2021. We are launching our new branding, PaperPie, which is a better reflection of our full product offering, which has grown beyond books. Replacing the name Usborne Books & More (UBAM) with PaperPie, a new name that more accurately captures all of the products that we sell through this Division including Usborne Publishing, Ltd.; Kane Miller Books; SmartLab Toys; and Learning Wrap-Ups. Our Sales and Marketing teams have put great efforts into creating a new name for this division and we are proud to launch PaperPie at the start of the 2023 calendar year."

Per Heather Cobb, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, "We started the Home Party Division rebranding process in May of this year with the goal to complete the Division's rebrand by December 2022. We have engaged our field leadership, staff members and outside partners who contributed countless amounts of time, effort and love into creating our new name and brand. PaperPie is literally 'filled' with the culture and values of our Home Business Division, specifically focused on children's literacy and learning. Our new brand, PaperPie, better defines who we are and what we represent to our customers and their families. We are so proud to announce this new name and begin our PaperPie journey in January 2023."
