EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Steve Billigmeier & Rob Bain will lead the Transaction Management Team and be the primary points of contact for Clarios throughout the entire process. Working in tandem with the team members below, Steve & Rob will assist with vetting potential land sites, negotiating the best business terms possible, & leading the project from start to finish. Amy Gerber & Tyler Hales will lead the Location Selection Team, and as such, will manage the various service offerings that fall within this jurisdiction. Manufacturing location strategy, supply chain impact analysis, financial modeling, and economic development engagement, including the negotiation & procurement of state & local business incentives, are all components of the broader Location Selection team that must work in parallel as the process evolves. Kyle Schneider , if requested by Clarios, will lead the Project Management Team due to his previous experience assisting large scale manufacturers design their facilities while ensuring efficient construction timelines, which is particularly important given today’s supply chain constraints. While we believe Clarios is already supported by a current design / build partner, we wanted you to be acutely aware of our breadth of knowledge, experience, and expertise should your strategy change in the future.

Clarios –

On behalf of Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) and our entire project team, we are excited to present our real estate site selection capabilities for Clarios’ next large-scale manufacturing facility. We have outlined our unique strengths, battery related experience, and proposed scope of work. Understanding this facility will be mission critical to achieving Clarios’ future manufacturing milestones & customer demand, it’s imperative this process accounts for all variables to ensure long term success. To that end, we have outlined our recommended action plan for the first 60 days to streamline decision making both from a location & real estate perspective. This initial action plan will synthesize Clarios’ most important business drivers (talent, supply chain, land availability, etc.) to holistically evaluate the sites we identify. C&W UNIQUE STRENGTHS THE RIGHT TEAM Understanding Clarios requires a trusted partner with a global presence who understands the complexities of business incentives negotiations combined with the ability to mitigate supply chain obstacles while also ensuring speed-to-market delivery remains top of mind, we have assembled a world class team prepared to achieve excellence. We recognize projects of this scale require careful coordination and seamless execution. As such, we realize the importance of defining responsibilities, aligning objectives, driving sustainability, and ultimately securing a favorable real estate solution. In attempt to clearly define roles at the onset, we’ve divided the project team into three distinct subcategories – Transaction Management, Location Selection, & Project Management with a brief description of the leads for each below. Refer to the Project Team section for the full team and organization structure.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTEGRATED SITE SELECTION Our primary scope of work includes Transaction Management and Location Selection advisory (collectively referred to as our Integrated Site Selection Process). This integrated approach ensures seamless coordination of these two primary workstreams (with designated leads for each) which is critical to speed-to-market and overall success of the project. TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT C&W Transaction Management services are fully geared to enhancing Clarios’ business and real estate strategy. Our disciplined approach is based upon our team’s experience assisting similar clients facing similar challenges. The Transaction Management team will quarterback the entire transactions process keeping all parties aligned on Clarios’ business objectives and mitigate risk through the entire real estate life cycle regardless of the ultimate location. With over 50,000 employees across 60 countries, C&W also has local brokers in nearly every market to support Clarios’ continued global expansion.

THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE While we realize most global brokerage firms are able to create an extensive list of large-scale site selection clients, C&W is uniquely positioned given our experience within the battery / battery component manufacturing industry. To name just a few examples, C&W recently advised Honda & LG on a $4.4 billion production facility to be built in Ohio. In addition, C&W was recently hired by Rivian to open several manufacturing facilities throughout the country. Furthermore, C&W has been Albemarle Corporation’s exclusive real estate provider for the last 2 years and recently executed a 5-year extension to assist with transaction management and site selection services across the world. Our proposed project team has extensive experience advising these and countless other battery and electrification manufacturing projects throughout the country. We will apply this experience to execute this project efficiently and methodically for Clarios.

LOCATION SELECTION We have a best-in-class team of location strategy, workforce analytics, and supply chain experts. Our process starts by identifying mission-critical criteria and screening viable markets. Potentially viable markets are run though a scorecarding process incorporating all factors of influence important to the success of this project for Clarios. Once a short-list of markets is determined, our location advisory team works closely with the Transaction Management Team to evaluate sites in each market as well as incentives experts to initiate a competitive incentives procurement process. The Location Selection process often incorporates hundreds of data points into market screening and scorecarding. A sample of those factors of influence, data platforms utilized, and interactive models are included in the Scope of Work section . Regarding incentives procurement, our team has strong working relationships with city, regional, and state level economic development organizations across North America including the elected officials

that lead those organizations. In many cases there is a public/private regional agency tasked with the first layer of engagement with inbound projects. State level incentives are generally approved by the Governor’s office, sometimes requiring other approvals based on size and magnitude of the incentive. C&W ensures that the applicable agencies develop an incentive package to benefit the company both from a short- and long-term business strategy. We will ensure competition at the state, regional, and city level to make sure we achieve the best possible financial, community partnership, and timeline outcomes. C&W will also manage the on-going incentive compliance administration on behalf of Clarios to ensure the incentives captured are actually realized. We hope & trust this capabilities overview provides a greater understanding of how excited we are to become your partner on this long-term journey. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions or comments.

PROJECT TEAM

PROJECT TEAM DESCRIPTION As illustrated on the previous page, the team was specifically assembled for this project based on background and experience. Team members were chosen to provide world class transaction management & site selection services and if needed, project management. TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT The Transaction Management Team will work in tandem with the Location Selection Team to ensure a seamless process whereby the physical real estate opportunities align with the results of their work. Once a site is identified, the Transaction Management Team will work closely with the local C&W team within the selected market(s) to drive the best deal terms possible. With the multitude of moving pieces involved in this process, it’s imperative the Transaction Management Team communicates daily with Clarios as well as the broader project team to maintain all parties are working toward a common goal. CORPORATE CAPITAL MARKETS Our customized advisory services and financing solutions provide our clients with key advantages to meet their objectives. Our full-spectrum financial services platform provides clients with customized and integrated capital solutions to derive creative financing solutions for large scale capital projects such as build-to-suit solutions, T.I. financing, etc. A deep understanding of the capital stack allows us to structure optimal strategies and negotiate the best terms for our clients.

LOCATION SELECTION We understand the complexity, risk calculus, and capital investment associated with this project. Tyler Hales and Amy Gerber have extensive experience across locations strategy, business incentives, and advanced financial analytics. Due to their familiarity with these projects, Tyler & Amy are able to utilize additional C&W services, if needed, as outlined below. Industrial Location Strategy – C&W’s location strategy and site selection team, led by Ben Harris, has unparalleled experience ascertaining your business drivers, synthesizing market data, and making data-driven location recommendations. Supply Chain Optimization – Tim Foster leads C&W’s Supply Chain Optimization group. If, ultimately, proximity to suppliers and customers is a key driver for this project’s ultimate location, Tim will ensure that we optimize logistics costs and shipping times across the network to mitigate potential future hurdles. Financial Analysis – Olan Young will work closely with the account team to lead financial analysis and guidance required for executive-level decision making and transaction execution throughout all phases of the project. He will perform comparative economic analysis of potential solutions including cash flow, income statement, and balance sheet impact to conform to Clarios’ financial methodologies.

SCOPE OF WORK

TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT AND REAL ESTATE FEASIBILITY Real estate feasibility evaluation of potential markets may include the following as appropriate: • General location attributes such as soft-support for production and manufacturing facilities • Access to transportation nodes, railways, ports, and interstates • Zoning and entitlements support in key industrial areas • Local permitting processes • Quantity of XXX acre sites (based upon Clarios’ facility specs)

The real estate feasibility study is an iterative process that starts with identifying potential markets that meet labor & workforce requirements and will be conducted in parallel to the site selection analytics process. As both studies complete, C&W will combine all relevant data into integrated deliverables for a holistic view of the top candidate market(s) locations and all of the appropriate attributes. Each market location will be benchmarked against each other with scorecards. This integrated process is described in more detail in the 60 day timeline .

INTEGRATED SITE SELECTION APPROACH There are numerous factors influencing the decision and level of success for your site selection project, including variables around manufacturing, transportation, distribution and the delivery of products to end-users. We also examine factors around your business strategy, supply chain, people, real estate and financial goals. Using the data gathered, we produce customized reports, maps and deliverables that unlock the best location for your facility.

SCOPE OF WORK

MARKET/SITE EVALUATION & DECISION SUPPORT Our integrated site selection process incorporates interactive models that provide a data-driven foundation for an eventual location and site decision. These decision support tools allow for comparison of candidate markets and sites as well as sensitivity analysis by changing weightings of all input criteria. Additionally, the output from this process is board-ready deliverables supporting the location decision.

BUSINESS INCENTIVES Capital intensive projects, such as the project Clarios is undertaking, can potentially cause financial strain on the company’s Profit and Loss statement. Clarios will spend a significant amount of up-front money to establish and build out the new facility and recruit and hire new talent. All of this investment outflow will occur prior to the facility generating revenue, which creates financial and timing risk. C&W understands that risk, and our incentives team excels at identifying the best economic development and government partners to help mitigate that risk, both from a timing and financial perspective. Our team maintains strong engagement with public/private partnerships and incentives granting agencies across the country at all levels, including city mayor’s and state governor’s offices.

Clarios’ presence in a particular location has tremendous financial implications not only for your company but also for the local municipality, state, and utilities. The C&W incentives team utilizes a Profit & Loss Statement approach to incentives negotiations. This approach allows us to understand the costs to establish and operate a facility in each market and also the revenue streams that would be generated by the state and local governments as a result of the new investment and job creation. Our incentive negotiation approach is customized for each market being evaluated based upon those costs and revenue streams. This allows us to ensure that the applicable agencies develop an incentive package that truly benefits the company both from a short- and long-term perspective.

OME

SCOPE OF WORK

In addition to state and local agencies, we can also evaluate the applicability of federal incentive opportunities either based upon the real estate location (e.g. New Markets Tax Credits) or working with specific federal agencies such as the DOE where the grants could be appropriate and applicable. C&W also understands that an incentive only has value if it is captured and realized by the company. C&W can manage the incentive compliance for Clarios to ensure the economic development and government agencies achieve their commitments to the project. C&W has developed an in-house proprietary incentive compliance platform that will support the realization of the incentives by Clarios, giving Clarios an on-line portal for real-time incentive tracking and performance measurements. HOW WE CAN HELP • Evaluate and estimate the tax and operating cost impacts for each location being evaluated • Identify potential hurdles/opportunities available in each market • Develop a comprehensive negotiation strategy based on the project scope and the project’s financial impacts in each market • Expertly engage local and state officials and economic development agencies through our time-tested relationships • Identify utility partners to support initial infrastructure requirements and on-going operating costs • Effectively compare multiple incentive offers against a wide range of quantitative and qualitative factors and benchmark incentive awards against • Negotiate to ensure all possible benefits are secured

• Lead the incentive approval efforts to achieve full incentive approvals prior to executing any real estate transaction or public announcement • Coordinate public announcements with state and local Governor’s and Mayor’s offices • Monitor terms for compliance • Provide a seamless connection to a full range of in-house services including brokerage and construction management COST-MITIGATION AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS MAY INCLUDE • Free or discounted land • Utility and transportation infrastructure support • Cash grants to support capital investment • Construction sales tax relief • Operating cost relief » Property, sales, income/excise tax » Utility usage cost reductions » Local gross receipts tax • Recruitment and training assistance • Expedited permitting, zoning and variance support • Building permit and impact fee relief • Federal incentives

SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT MANAGEMENT While we understand this isn’t of initial concern, we wanted to expand on C&W’s Project & Development Services offerings in the event our assistance is required as the process evolves. Cushman & Wakefield’s project management team, Project & Development Services (PDS), understands that real estate decisions go beyond scope, schedule, and budget. We manage the planning, design, and construction process, to ensure value and savings, without sacrificing quality. Our project managers consistently deliver 10% to 15% construction cost savings to our clients and schedule improvements, while minimizing project risks. C&W’s PDS team pursues the best solutions on behalf of our clients. It is not as simple as saying, on time and on budget. We listen closely to our clients, fully grasping their project goals and business needs while driving quality beyond their expectations. It takes determination to produce that level of work, and world-class expertise to do it well. C&W provides expert, end-to-end Project Management services that remove the risk for our clients. The key to our success is early involvement. Our Project Management team assists transaction teams with initial building selection activities while providing advice and input on work letters and related lease provision. Ultimately, we are engaged to bring work culture to life. C&W will manage the entire construction process from up-front strategic planning to move and relocation services. Lined-Up Service Providers – Cushman & Wakefield maintains a network of external architectural and engineering service providers and is able to make contractor recommendations based on site location and scope of the services required. These providers are accompanied by our in-house project and development services team.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) & Competitive Bidding Process – Cushman & Wakefield has a highly developed process for the creation and distribution of RFPs, analyzing the responses, and ultimately providing disciplined recommendations on vendors and consultants for this project based upon cost, quality, experience, industry reputation, and more. Process – After identifying all team members, Cushman & Wakefield will create a list of potential bidders for each discipline that will receive an RFP. We routinely include all the vendors and consultants that have an existing relationship with our clients on the RFP distribution list. RFP Package – After having identified the need for a specific consultant on your project and created a potential bid list, the RFP package will be prepared. This document is extremely flexible and can easily be customized for the relevant discipline. Each RFP must assure that the appropriate scope is presented to the bidders and will help establish each vendor’s qualifications for the work at hand. Response – The responses are received, date stamped, and logged-in as they are delivered to the office. A bid opening meeting will be scheduled with all applicable team members promptly after receipt of the responses. An analysis of the responses will then be undertaken to ensure that all responding firms are consistent in their understanding of the project. In many instances, inconsistencies in the content of the responses are evident and inquiries will be made to clarify the responses. Award – Upon completion of the leveling process, a series of interviews will be scheduled to establish a comfort level prior to awarding the contract. Clarios will then select award winners.

The property was built speculatively in 2019. Lastly, Cushman & Wakefield was recently hired by Rivian to open several manufacturing facilities throughout the country. Further, the Project Team is currently engaged on several large scale manufacturing site selection projects across the U.S.; however, due to confidentiality reasons, cannot disclose client names at this time.
