8 Our Proposal and Rational Test & learn 2 different options: 1.Reposition the brand to better emotionally align with the female target Name, packaging, communication Alternative claims 2.Refocus the brand from mass to professional Reorient BME toward a 100% focus on Professionals and sampling Tele-detailing, e-detailing

9 Key Assumptions that May Be Tested and How Incorporate emotional benefits to make it more relevant to women Execute the right balance between functional & emotional IMPLEMENTATION Keep the name but test different graphic treatments (imagery, create a sub-brand) Innovative packaging that translates the brand footprint: appealing to women, convenient, experiential Focus engaging communication on digital, word of moth, POS Loyalty program to understand how to keep consumers longer Explore meaningful claims “All the calcium your body needs in an enjoyable moment” #1 - Reposition the brand to better emotionally align with the female target

13 VIACTIV is in a downward spiral and we believe the brand needs to take a dramatic change in the strategy Many options were explored (divesting, moving to different category, product innovation, etc) and recommendation is to pursue 2 test & learn opportunities: Reposition the brand to better emotionally align with the female target Refocus the brand from mass to professional Both ideas have to be tested concurrently, measured against control group, choose the wining one and implement nationally Expected outcome is to revert business results and get a sustainable, profitable business model platform Executive Summary
