 Weakening brand relevance   • Lack of resonance with key growth segments

                             • Assortment lacks coherence, innovation and relevance
 Assortment proposition      • Competitors making inroads into historic “ownership” categories
                             • Fresh and Frozen not working                                       Better retail

BEYOND THE TURNAROUND: GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
We believe that there is “white space” for us to further innovate our business in key areas;
these will be areas of further strategic review

IN SUMMARY

                The underlying business is strong:

                                           Procurement
                  Brands    Market share
                                              scale

    The landscape has changed and we have been slow to adapt.

       We are now changing and we are acting with urgency!

                                                                48
