5 5 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary Cautionary tales from invincible brands Brand Chg. in Share Price Summary Nokia -89% Despite dominating the flip phone market, Nokia knew smartphones were the future and moved fast to develop them. However, execution failures made them late to market with a lemon. Nokia developed its smartphone hardware and software in separate silos and never managed to get good hardware to work with bad software. Blockbuster -99% Blockbuster’s business model depended on assessing late fees on movie rentals. Passed on opportunity to buy Netflix. When a CEO finally decided to ditch late fees and enter the DVD by mail market, shareholders lynched him for hurting profits. Slow to close retail locations, late to streaming video, slow to respond to Redbox… Slow – Late – Slow… Kodak -98% In 1976, Kodak sold 90% of the film and 85% of the cameras in the U.S. Kodak engineers invented the digital camera in 1975, but company leaders failed to see that digital would accelerate competition, slash profit margins and ultimately make film obsolete. Kodak lost big, and shifted too late to digital.

6 6 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary AAA continues to be threatened in the market Through apps or integrated with other offerings ERS is across all these brands We must find our role before it’s too late

7 7 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary New challenges emerge as a result of a changing landscape How does AAA stay relevant? How does AAA increase and expand membership? How do we achieve revenue growth?

8 8 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary Research has uncovered key needs in the market place *Source: 2013 Prophet Drivers currently don’t understand their vehicles, or how much services should cost – they need better, more straightforward information. Drivers are busy and don’t want to invest time and energy into maintaining their vehicle – they need an affordable and convenient way to have their vehicle cared for. Drivers don’t know who to trust with their vehicle – they want a reliable source for car care where they feel in control.

9 9 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary AAA is well positioned to address these needs Competitive advantage will come from seamless integration across core assets

10 10 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary Opportunity for AAA to continue history of being experts in all things automobile Early 1900s AAA supports legislation to build and improve roads. ERS started as number of drivers increases. Late 1900s AAA creates Approved Auto Repair and AAA.com websites to accommodate consumers who are increasing their usage of home computers. 2000s and beyond AAA creates “Connected Car” experience to meet demand in an era of smart mobility.

11 11 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary Vision for connected car Our vision is to provide the best vehicle ownership experience for consumers -- from beginning to end. Throughout these experiences, AAA will always be top of mind, easily accessible and will emphatically work on members’ behalf.

12 12 © 2015 AAA Club Partners – Confidential and Proprietary The best vehicle ownership experience Thanks to an email alert, I saved $600 by bringing the car in when I did—those brakes were worn to a dangerous level. Thanks for the heads up AAA! Next thing you know my cell rings and it’s AAA. They can see that the battery is the problem, so they recommended their Mobile Battery Service instead of me going to the shop. A few days later I heard from my agent. She had reviewed the crash and seen that it hadn’t been my fault. She even complimented me on my safe driving and reminded me that I still had a 17% discount thanks to safe driving. I called the AAA member being towed in and let him know that I had his part ready and waiting. Amazing what a difference this one call does. I get so many more tow ins!
