EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are excited to present our solution to support FabFitFun in evaluating a possible East Coast fulfillment center. We understand that as your business rapidly grows, you face an array of supply chain decisions. What parts of your current model do you keep, and what do you leave behind? Where do you expand, and when? Finetuning the shape of your distribution network will be key to continued success. But you need the right data and plan in place before taking that first step. Our team is ready to tackle this challenge. Driven by world-class research and the industry’s top logistics platform, Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) will carry out a rigorous process to find the right strategy for your needs. And at every point along the way, our team of eCommerce, supply chain and labor experts will mobilize to put the plan into action. As part of this approach, we will leverage our deep partnership with St. Onge Company, a top supply chain engineering firm. When needed, we will also engage top C&W talent in brokerage, financial reporting, and project management to ensure your real estate footprint is optimized for cost and efficiency. Below are the stages of our solution and our proposed steps to meet FabFitFun’s goals, from understanding feasibility and selecting the best location, to creating the physical operation. These steps and the resources used to support them are explained further throughout our proposal. We trust this proposal will show the value of our approach and reveal Cushman & Wakefield as the right choice to help you navigate this important decision.

ST. ONGE – NETWORK OPTIMIZATION

A PARTNERSHIP FOR SUCCESS

Cushman & Wakefield has partnered with St. Onge Company for over twenty years, collaborating to develop and execute supply chain and real estate strategies for hundreds of clients. Network Optimization is an integral part of the site selection process and involves identifying, capitalizing, and achieving cost savings and efficiencies through the optimization of the supply chain. St. Onge Company is an independent supply chain engineering consulting company that not only allows for a deeper and highly customized dive into the supply chain, but also ensures we can evaluate and deliver the implementation of the most appropriate solutions for our clients. The process simultaneously considers a host of logistics considerations, including: (i) product sourcing, (ii) inventory carrying costs, (iii) fixed and variable facility costs, and (iv) transportation costs. Additionally, it accounts for constraints, including: (i) distribution center flow, (ii) throughput or storage capacities, and (iii) inbound flow and outbound delivery time limits.

St. Onge has an extensive track record of success as an independent consulting engineering company. Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, St. Onge has over 140+ Consultants, Engineers, Account Managers, and Support Professionals that are purely focused on building and deploying optimal strategies for clients.

LABOR CONSULTING C&W Strategic Consulting employs labor economists who are adept at helping clients identify the optimal city in which to operate. Labor strategy engagements begin with a detailed understanding of a client’s cost saving, workforce, access, and operating objectives. Using these criteria, the team screens the entire country to develop a list of viable cities. The team then analyzes viable cities in greater detail to understand labor market supply and demand, business climate, and infrastructure. Finalist locations are identified and on-the-ground analysis is conducted to validate findings and test assumptions with peer employers. C&W employs extensive spatial analytic tools such as Alteryx and Tableau as well as geographic information systems (GIS) mapping to generate special, geodemographic models which require recent, accurate, and unique geo-demographic and lifestyle segmentation data as input each time they are executed for any geography. C&W also utilizes its licensed datasets from the U.S. Census provided by Experian, as well as MOSAIC segmentation data and Moody’s Economy.com for purposes of analysis. Additionally, the resources and tools of our Research Services Group can provide additional market insight analytics and client support including market research (data on average asking rents, absorption, vacancy, construction deliveries and pipeline, etc.), market overviews and market trends.

LABOR ANALYSIS - PEER REVIEW

To quantify the labor value of the East Coast facility, C&W will quickly integrate and compare statistics provided by ManpowerGroup in each regional labor market. Using these statistics, we will evaluate and conduct a peer review to assess the depth of the modeling to date and offer recommendations accordingly.

Cushman & Wakefield | FabFitFun

OUR PROCESS

PHASE 1 – DETAILED STATISTICAL COMPARISON The comprehensive labor study begins with an assessment to rank order locations on their basis of anticipated labor supply, demand and projected costs specific to facility job functions.

Considerations:

+ + 4 Peak Seasons

+ + 300-400 Full-Time Employees

+ + 1,000-1,200 Temporary Labor

+ + Manufacturing Background

+ + New Business Verticals

Purpose:

+ + Screen and identify finalist locations for additional due-diligence (e.g. labor market interviews, occupancy negotiations, and cost analyses)

Content + Deliverable:

+ + A desktop evaluation and index-rating comparison of prospective locations

+ + Projected labor costs and differentials/savings between the prospective locations

+ + Executive dashboard of key market findings and supporting thematic maps

PHASE 2 – EMPLOYER INTERVIEWS The next step in the labor consulting process involves field studies and employer interviews to further understand the real-world operating environment for the specific business needs.

Purpose:

+ + Field-validate Phase 1 findings through peer company employer interviews

+ + Confirm top-performing locations from a labor market perspective and reveal risks

Content + Deliverable:

+ + Aggregate information gathered from employer interviews

+ + Provide insight on local wage offering, applicant volume, quality, attrition, unionization, benefits practices, etc.

PEER REVIEW + VALIDATION OF STRATEGY

As a vertically integrated strategic partner, Cushman & Wakefield’s labor consulting group would be pleased to conduct a peer-review and provide comments and/or recommendations to the approach. If the C&W labor consulting group determines that the studies/reports are insufficient for the depth of the project, our team will prepare an a la carte menu of offerings to supplement any missing information and support full visibility.

CASE STUDY

Chewy.com

eCommerce Fulfillment Center Labor Market Validation

Increasing online sales have prompted the need for Chewy.com to expand their existing fulfillment center footprint in the central U.S. In partnership with C&W brokerage, six candidate properties were identified throughout the State of Indiana. C&W Business Consulting evaluated each option’s ability to support the 1,000-employee operation with respect to labor market considerations (i.e., labor supply, quality, competition and cost) in order to narrow the list of candidate properties for subsequent real estate due diligence and negotiation.

THE SOLUTION C&W performed a desktop labor market evaluation specific to assessing distribution-center labor supply, demand, competitive exposure, union membership/activity levels, and expected wages.

Unique to C&W, custom target workforce profiles for hourly warehouse workers are developed to identify common demographic household traits most frequently exhibited in its current workforce (i.e., age, income, education, occupation orientation). Results quantify the depth and concentration of similar targeted demographics within the primary commute shed. The desktop analysis facilitated the selection of three properties for further labor market due-diligence. The additional activity entailed interviewing distribution center employers to gain their perspective on:

+ + Workforce recruiting, retention and quality experiences in the market;

+ + Recruiting strategies (i.e., temp-to-perm, advertising, use of staffing agencies for placements);

+ + Applicant volumes, quality, pre-employment testing standards;

+ + Wage structures and benefits practices (i.e., starting wage, progression and premiums/bonus programs, time off with and without pay, vacation, cost of medical, dental, vision, and attendance policies);

+ + Union solicitation or, if already organized, historical frequency of grievances; and

+ + Satisfaction with overall operating environment.

Cushman & Wakefield | FabFitFun

RESULTS + + C&W evaluated three submarkets throughout the Indianapolis metro area. Clayton, Indiana (southwest corridor) was selected as the preferred location based largely on labor market considerations. + + Employer interviews confirmed the desktop study indicators throughout the submarkets. Ultimately, the Clayton region was preferred due to lower labor competition for warehouse-related skillsets with little compromise on labor supply.

+ + C&W provided recommended starting wages for various positions in addition to guidance on wage progression, shift premiums and other incentive pay practices based on local market conditions.

Key Project Figures

+ + Jobs: 600 to 1,000

+ + Building Size: 1.2 million square feet

BUSINESS INCENTIVES Cushman & Wakefield’s Business Incentives Practice implements strategies for the development, expansion, consolidation or relocation of facilities. A firm’s presence in a location has tremendous financial implications, not only for the company but also for the local municipality and state. We create competition for that residency, unearthing financial opportunities through the procurement of local and state economic incentives. We identify, evaluate, and negotiate incentives such as cash grants, infrastructure improvements, tax reductions, and job training. We evaluate local labor and area amenities to ensure that a business can be properly scaled.

PROCESS OVERVIEW:

FEASIBILITY Confidentially identify and analyze incentive opportunities available to the project

IMPLEMENTATION Prepare applications, attend public meetings and finalize formal incentive contracts.

C&W-BIP secured incentives offers from each of the Candidate Locations (Kansas and Missouri) with the Company ultimately choosing Missouri as the state for its growth.

RESULTS + + C&W secured incentives offers from each of the Candidate Locations with CVS ultimately choosing Kansas City, MO as the site for its new fulfillment center. + + Assisted CVS through the incentives approval andagreement negotiations process with the state and local governments.

+ + C&WBIP secured an incentives package in excess of $25.0 Million, Including a 22-year property tax exemption on the land and the building and a 10-year exemption on equipment for the distribution facility.

SITE SELECTION & BROKERAGE

SITE SELECTION APPROACH

Site selection is not the first step in the optimal transaction process but rather the culmination of process execution, research, and analytics used to identify the target markets. C&W is an experienced partner in developing best practices to analyze and define FabFitFun’s needs, and to create the appropriate go-to-market strategy. It’s not a generic, off-the-shelf approach, but an intelligent data-driven recommendation. When a new facility is needed, we must look at the entire portfolio to assess where a new facility fits in and what size it needs to be. Then the labor analytics piece needs to be considered, in close integration with transportation costs and incentives feasibility. C&W employs a holistic and objective approach focused on critical business issues to identify optimal locations. Cross-functional collaboration is essential for project success.

The role of our Site Selection Team varies depending on our client’s mandate:

++ Ultimate Goal - Identify and secure optimal location, incentives, and property

++ Optimal Location Should Secure Competitive Advantage: - Minimize startup and recurring costs - Efficient implementation (hiring, construction, permitting, etc.) - Best operating conditions (labor, infrastructure, real estate, supply chain, transportation etc.) ++ Responsibilities and Guidance Along the Way: - Maintain confidentiality - Represent client interests to property owners, developers, governments, utilities, etc. - Avoid risks (physical, financial and operational - Deliver objective process and defensible outcomes - Identify client resource gaps (data, design, team, outside expertise, etc.

Cushman & Wakefield | FabFitFun

C&W’s site selection process is time-tested and proven to provide successful cost-saving results for our clients. Using a sophisticated analysis, based on our client’s requirements, we can differentiate among properties/cities/ regions to compare statistics on each candidate property’s available labor pool, potential business incentives, representative land and building costs, and annual costs for major operating expenses (especially labor and occupancy costs). ++ Phase 1 – the objectives of Phase 1 are to identify preferred regions for the facility and, within those regions, suitable properties meeting our clients’ criteria, with the ultimate goal to qualify a short list of three preferred properties that merit additional due diligence in Phase 2; ++ Phase 2 – entails additional due diligence to better understand the properties’ real estate and labor market attributes, and major operating costs, as well as incentives and real estate negotiations, to select a single, optimal location for the proposed facility. The below table outlines a typical two-phase site selection process. Please note that project phasing and tasks would be adjusted appropriately to address FabFitFun’s goals and objectives: Site selection services are typically delivered in two sequential phases:

The result of this process is an optimal facility configuration in a cost- and operationally-effective location.

Specifically, the process to identify, evaluate, and screen sites typically follows the following four steps:

1. Requirements translated to Request for Information (RFI) issued to search area

2. RFI responses received and catalogued

3. Properties evaluated versus facility needs and grouped: Retain, Marginal, Eliminate

4. Property inspections conducted to select preferred sites, typically with clients in attendance

29

LEASE NEGOTIATIONS Once a city or region is selected, a local broker will be selected for the assignment and will be highly integrated into the process. The project team identifies the local broker and works with that professional to obtain a detailed market analysis. The local broker is closely involved with all due diligence related to the transaction, but their focus is primarily on market-based knowledge with a core account team transaction manager running the project to assure consistency. The financial analysis, final LOI and lease negotiations are all headed up by the core account team transaction lead with the support of the local broker. This ensures that FabFitFun gets consistent service regardless of market, and that each transaction is approached strategically, as the core team running the project is an extension of FabFitFun. Including the best broker in the market ensures the best negotiated lease terms are obtained. By leveraging FabFitFun’s tenancy, we can create competition within the marketplace during negotiations.

eCommerce Fulfillment

Client was unable to keep pace with the rapidly scaling business relying solely on an adequately resourced in-house real estate planning, search and transaction function. The risk of failure to deliver sufficient fulfillment capacity on time was potentially disastrous to the value proposition, customer experience and the brand. Planning was done peak-to-peak resulting in zero competitive leverage in the market and less than ideal lease terms. RESULTS + + Cushman & Wakefield team was embedded with Client’s HQ operations offices to work seamlessly as extension to Client’s small operations real estate organization. + + C&W created planning tools to help Client adopt greater discipline in identifying markets of future interest for fulfillment operations. Through early identification, Client could quietly control multiple sites and create competition between multiple markets to drive the most favorable terms. + + Lack of available existing product that was suitable for Client’s state-of-the-art fulfillment technologies demanded C&W develop and run a predominantly build-to-suit (BTS) expansion program; C&W periodically managed full national RFPs for BTS projects to all leading regional developers, while separately running a capital solicitation program to match optimal sites, developers and capital providers. + + In conjunction with evaluating feasibility of hundreds of potential sites each year, C&W managed all due diligence including entitlements analysis; labor availability, quality and sustainability; incentives opportunities; and fit with existing and future transportation needs. + + Client’s internal approval process had been extensive and slow, resulting in costly schedule compression to meet First Receive date commitments. C&W team created a standard set of communication tools to preflight key issues to executive management throughout lease negotiations. Final approval for execution was shortened significantly due to identification of key issues along the way.

CASE STUDY #1

LEVI STRAUSS & CO. Project Management Distribution Center, NV

To meet increased consumer demand, Levi Strauss commissioned a significant capital improvement project designed to more than double throughput at their distribution center in Henderson, NV. When the initial vendor was unable to cite specific causes or bring functional solutions to the assignment, Levi Strauss engaged Cushman & Wakefield’s Project Management Team, in conjunction with our strategic partner, St. Onge Company. Our assignment was to assess the site and determine what could be done to raise performance to the required levels.

THE SOLUTION Henderson is a complex site. The 1,000,000-square- foot facility houses thousands of feet of conveying equipment; sorting equipment; rack storage and pick operations; and packing and shipping. Over a four- month engagement, the Cushman & Wakefield/St. Onge team examined floor plans and flow diagrams, reviewed equipment cut sheets, examined software design from patches and custom code, and evaluated processes and people. As a result, we developed a comprehensive understanding of Henderson’s operations which enabled us to advise on: + + Recruiting strategies (i.e., temp-to-perm, advertising, use of staffing agencies for placements);

+ + Applicant volumes, quality, pre-employment testing standards;

+ + Wage structures and benefits practices (i.e., starting wage, progression and premiums/bonus programs, time off with and without pay, vacation, cost of medical, dental, vision, and attendance policies);

+ + Union solicitation or, if already organized, historical frequency of grievances; and

+ + Satisfaction with overall operating environment.

RESULTS Changes to the building infrastructure (power, lighting, floor repairs) were completed in 2017. Equipment upgrades and software development are being rolled out from 2017-2019. Upon completion, Levi Strauss will migrate capacity from Hebron, Kentucky to the Henderson site. At that time, a similar upgrade process will take place in Kentucky. In all, the projects are expected to fully support Levi Strauss’ omni-channel needs well into the future.

BUILD-TO-SUIT ADVISORY GROUP

ACHIEVING COST REDUCTION THROUGH INNOVATION Combining consulting and transactional expertise, the Cushman & Wakefield Build-to-Suit Advisory Group provides strategies, process, and execution management expertise for occupiers needing a multimarket approach that integrates their supply chain network with bricks-and-mortar facilities. Our proven methodology that combines strategy, process development, transaction execution, and project management into one integrated process is specifically designed to benefit the client by:

+ + Generating Speed to Market

+ + Mitigating Project Risks

+ + Increasing Client Control

+ + Targeting Multiple Cost Savings Points

Why Use a Build-to-Suit Group?

Many companies have internal construction management teams that handle internal construction, maintenance, and building improvements. However, build-to-suit requirements are more unique and complex, requiring a unique set of skills, tools, and processes. Our team removes the risk that accompanies these “uncommon” real estate transactions by providing superior results and cost savings.

Our Methodology

For large, industrial build-to-suit projects, C&W deploys to the field specialized practitioners, led by a Project Executive, where and when build-to-suits are being considered. These initial key team members are highly experienced in working with transactional leaders, clients, and their extended teams of developers, contractors, third party logistics providers (as appropriate), and local jurisdictions having authority. The C&W team is responsible for setting the governing rules for a given assignment and ensuring the project’s foundational documents have within them the language needed to ensure a positive outcome for our client. Initially, leadership is provided by a Project Executive, while themarket-based Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager provide support. Together, these team members drive the assignment from initial concept discussions all the way through the completion of construction documents, bidding, construction, and occupancy. In addition, they play a pivotal role in building the overall team, establishing communications protocols (type, frequency, format), developing and/or reviewing scopes of work for each team member, and working, as appropriate, with our clients’ procurement, logistics, operations, finance, and HR teams.

As construction on-site approaches, a seamless a transition takes place between the Project Executive and our local Project Manager (“PM”). In this way, by the time construction actually starts, we have two skilled resources, both of whom have full knowledge of the project, the participants, contract terms, etc. From that point forward, while the local PM attends weekly construction meetings, monitors job site performance and progress, reviews subcontractor RFI’s, General Contractor invoices, safety procedures, etc., the Project Executive continues to participate in weekly calls, visits the site monthly, inspects the progress while there, and attends the construction meeting.

Our Process

C&W’s Build-To-Suit Advisory Group has a defined and tested process for build-to-suit projects. This process provides expertise and innovation at every stage of the project – from concept to implementation. At a conceptual level, our projects follow the steps described below:

What is needed of us? What is the timing & schedule? Who are the critical interest groups and how do we engage with them? The Financial Equation

CASE STUDY #2

Unilever

Covington, TN Manufacturing & Storage Facility 500,000 SF Building Construction Management Services

Cushman & Wakefield’s Project Management Team was appointed to help select the developer, general contractor, and to coordinate Unilever’s vendors and internal resources in the development of a 500,000-square- foot, -20-degree F distribution center in Covington, Tennessee. The facility, attached to Unilever’s existing manufacturing plant via an overhead conveyance system, utilizes state-of-the-art material handling systems to move product from the Unilever side to the 3PL side.

THE SOLUTION Cushman & Wakefield first worked with the developer and local authorities to site the building in such a way as to minimize truck traffic on the main highway, moving the initial ingress to a side road where trucks could queue without blocking traffic. In addition, due to the seismic ratings in Covington, the site needed significant soil remediation and reinforcement which consumed roughly six (6) weeks of time to drill and fill more than 5,000 crushed rock piers. Then during the design phase, we challenged the architects and engineers to think creatively about how to convey finished goods in the existing building directly to the

distribution center. What resulted was a highly advanced robotics system using Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV’s) which accept product from the end of the production line, bring it to the lift system which raises pallets up thirty (30) feet to the conveyance tunnel (also -20F). In addition, after the design was completed, Unilever expressed an interest in adding a solar array to the roof, thus changing the previously designed structural steel package and foundations. By promoting aggressive competition and focused value engineering, we were able to absorb these two significant changes while keeping the project in budget. Project highlights include: Integrate operations with existing manufacturing plant without any disruption; fully fenced with 24x7 Welcome Center (guard house); 20,000 SF of office space between the 2 operators in the building; completed project on time. RESULTS Working in concert with the GC and key trades, we were able to keep to the original schedule and budget. Unilever’s commitment to sustainability was taken to new heights by creating a Sustainability Trail that highlights the nearly two dozen eco-friendly elements throughout.Satisfaction with overall operating environment.
