Masscash – Overview (cont.) • Recent key organisational structure changes • The six months from January to June 2018 saw some significant organisational re-structuring in the Massmart Group. The intention is to achieve alignment across the divisions for efficiencies and a reduction in duplicated costs / operating expenses. The most recent organisational changes have been primarily in the Massdiscounters and Masscash divisions: • Masscash: In February 2018 Massmart announced the restructuring of some of the business functions within Masscash, and the relocation of the head office from Durban to Johannesburg. In addition, the Retail and Wholesale executive teams were combined into a single, smaller executive team under the leadership of Kevin Vyvyan-Day. The intention is to achieve a stronger and more balanced combined executive, allowing the respective management skills of the two business teams to complement one another. “(In February this year) we announced the relocation of the Masscash regional office from the Durban area to Johannesburg and an organisational restructure. This restructure will produce estimated annualised savings of R22 million which will be felt from the second half of this financial year.” Massmart

Saverite – Overview • Saverite is a chain of independently owned franchise supermarkets which incorporate the buying power of Jumbo to deliver competitive prices and premium quality • Saverite was born out of the need for Jumbo to compete more effectively with the corporate chains in the LSM 1-5 market through the creation of a guaranteed purchasing/supply channel. “We saw the gap for independently owned supermarkets which could still have the buying power of a larger group to ensure competitive prices and premium quality”. Gary Bellars, Saverite Operations Executive • The first Saverite opened in mid-2009 in the Eastern Cape and store reach took a jump in 2010 with the purchase of 14 Score stores.

CBW - Management Structure • Historically, CBW and CCW stores were structured in terms of a 49% (manager):51% (CCW) equity (Although all Brown & Weirs store managers at the time did not have equity) • On absorption into Massmart in 2001, all manager equity was acquired by the Group - Masscash now wholly owns all stores, managers are incentivised entirely on a profit sharing basis (this structure further applies to Brown & Weirs as well as Jumbo Cash & Carry stores). Profit sharing operates on a regional basis • The majority of store managers remained part of the group, although some did leave following the restructuring • A distinguishing element of the business is that managers, now well incentivised through profit share, and wholly responsible for achieving margin in their stores, are highly performance-driven. Each store manager is further responsible for stock holdings and regional procurement decisions
Jumbo Wholesale – Management Structure • Jumbo Wholesale (previously Cash & Carry) was originally a family owned business that was purchased by Massmart in 2001 • Massmart ownership allows Jumbo advantages in terms of sourcing and buying power which result in quality products at competitive prices passing onto the customer base • As with Brown & Weirs and CBW/CCW stores, all manager equity was acquired by Masscash and managers are incentivised entirely on a profit sharing basis • Each store manager is responsible for achieving margin in their store, together with managing stock holding and taking regional procurement decisions • In terms of reporting structure, together with CBW, Jumbo forms part of the wholesale division and reports through to the Masscash Head Office in Johannesburg
Jumbo Shield – Divisional Structure • Jumbo Shield is a voluntary buying association and buys product in bulk on behalf of its member base • All members are independently owned and owner-managed • Jumbo Shield offers wholesale customers with more formal operations the ability to trade under national retail trading brands such as Powersave and Multisave • A store identification programme is offered to trading brands, supported by a store identity package. This package includes store signage as well as other marketing initiatives • Stores trade under their own identity or under one of the Shield branded trading identities: • Multisave Supermarket (retail) • Multisave Superstore (retail) • Powersave Cash & Carry (retail and wholesale) • Shield Cash & Carry (wholesale) • Build & Save (house and hardware retail) • The Shield Group also includes a liquor and pharmacy offering • Retail brand membership is based on a minimum turnover level – the same applies to the payment of rebates • Members pay a listing fee to join Shield, but no monthly royalty or franchise fee • Credit: • Shield members offer credit to their customer base (traders) – allowing Shield to “trade him (the trader) through” the tough times often encountered in independent retail • Achieved through a trading payment plan: • Follows the Masscash supportive ethos (the more successful the trader is, the better the Group performs) • Masscash has the “muscle” to support these traders financially that non-corporate buying groups often do not
Jumbo Shield – Divisional Structure cont. • Conversion to CBW: • Jumbo Shield members have the opportunity to be absorbed into the Masscash business (Shield is often considered the CBW “nursery” ground) • Inclusion dependent on the perceived value to Masscash (geographic location/turnover, etc.) or that member operating as a perceived threat to Masscash (taking business away) • 10-12 Shield members over the past 6/7 years have been converted to CBW stores
Saverite - Franchise Structure • Saverite is a fully functional retail franchise format typically structured in clusters around the particular CBW or Jumbo Wholesale store from which they are serviced • Joining Fees • R17,500 • Includes a new member assessment to identify additional service departments or store development opportunities that include re-branding and signage + investment into branded staff and management uniforms • Royalties • Monthly 1% Royalty Fees charged on purchases made from two ordering channels – through the call centre for supplier direct delivery or consolidated orders from the local Masscash Wholesaler • Royalty fee not paid on Turnover or on purchases made outside of the two buying channels • Rebates • Split rebate offering on the 2 available ordering routes: • For certain suppliers rebate % negotiated on every order placed – rebates tailored to each supplier to ensure that each Saverite store is both competitive and profitable • Direct from wholesaler – Saverite member receives a straight rebate % on every order placed, regardless of the supplier (excl. tobacco and sugar purchases) • Rebates paid annually and depend on a set minimum purchase hurdle • Profit allocation: • 81% Franchisee:19% Masscash • A simple structure which avoids auditing on the part of Masscash • ‘Influenced rather than controlled’ (Have to have service departments, tiled floors, right light, and certain turnover)
Banner Structure - Big 11 & Super 11 • Big 11 and Super 11 • Structure: • A fluid/loose banner arrangement between the banner member & the Masscash C&C/Jumbo Wholesale store • No centralised Masscash Wholesale management – each store is owner-managed • No membership card is in effect, however the banner member is given a buying card for purchases made on a certain day – registered on the system for that date • Promotional pricing specific to banner members is allocated by the till system on payment • Positioning: store positioning is not consistent across all stores – the brand is driven very much from a store/store manager’s perspective in terms of range and look & feel • Accounts: • Banner members may have accounts with the Masscash wholesaler from which it draws its stock/promotions, but not necessarily • Accounts are driven & finalised at Head Office level based on a credit assessment • Promotional deals: • Monthly banner meetings as well as personalised visits from the C&C store manager drive the relationship between C&C and banner - used for decision-making on promotional deals • Promotional deals to the banner member are entirely C&C driven dependent on the specific needs of the banner member • Range: • Product range purchased from C&C stores not prescribed – may also purchase stock from other wholesalers, • Big 11 outlets have a minimum purchase level of R10 000 out of the C&C and Super 11 – R55 000 • Where a purchase is made from the C&C, the specific deal price will apply
