We will pause for your questions between each topic and also at the end of the presentation. Unit Controller Call November 2018

Safety Moment: Safe Winter Walking As employees of Sodexo, no matter what level, you are expected to personally demonstrate your commitment to improving our health and safety culture. Our goal is zero accidents. A Safety Moment during every meeting will demonstrate the importance of the health and safety culture at Sodexo.

Safe Winter Walking Ice, slush, and snow can lead to slips, trips, and injuries. The following tips can reduce your odds of getting hurt: Wear the right footwear: Insulated boots, shoes with good treat Avoid plastic and leather soles If necessary, wear ice cleats or crampons. Take shorter, slower steps. Use the railing when going up or down stairs. Be careful getting in and out of vehicles. When entering buildings remove snow and ice from your shoes to prevent wet, slippery areas. Watch where you are going. Walk on clear walkways or sidewalks. Keep your hands and arms free for balance or protection. Remove hazards, such as water on floors and snow on sidewalks, immediately. Safety Moment

Client Services Mailbox Controller Call November 2018 Suzanne Burns, SR MGR Accounting -This presentation will discuss a new email address that will be used to reach the Client Services department.

Current Client Services Mailbox Addresses Client Services Mailbox Address as of 11/12/18 Email Subject Line Client Services Mailbox for Brands Questions and Answers We are going to discuss the current Client Services mailbox addresses, our new email address as of November 12th, helpful information to put in your subject line, use of the Brands address, and answer any questions you may have.

Current Client Services Mailbox Addresses Noram BSC Client Services-Canada <BscClientServices-Canada.Noram@sodexo.com> USA BSC Client Services BI Market <BscClientServicesBIMarket.Usa@sodexo.com> USA BSC Client Services Campus Services <BSCClientServicesCampusServices.USA@sodexo.com> USA BSC Client Services Healthcare Market <BscClientServicesHealthcareMarket.Usa@sodexo.com> USA BSC Client Services School Services <Bscclientservicesschoolservices.Usa@sodexo.com> When the Client Services department was created in FY 2011, the Outlook capacity required separate mailboxes to handle the volume of messages, as we typically receive around 7,000 emails in total to these mailboxes, each month. So, we created 5 mailboxes which were organized by Segment. If you look them up in the Outlook Global search, they are: Noram BSC Client Services-Canada, USA BSC Client Services BI Market, USA BSC Client Services Campus Services, USA BSC Client Services Healthcare Market, and USA BSC Client Services School Services.

Client Services Mailbox Address as of 11/12/18 Effective Monday, November 12, 2018: NORAm Client Accounting CLIENTACCOUNTING.NORAM@SODEXO.COM We have heard that it is confusing having so many Client Services email addresses, so, that we can better serve you and you can better serve your clients, we are switching from using the individual segment mailboxes to one central mailbox. The new mailbox was activated on Monday, November 12, 2018. The mailbox address is clientaccounting.noram@Sodexo.com or Noram Client Accounting when you search in the Outlook Global address book. The Segment mailboxes that you are used to using, are still available and if you use this address, your message will be forwarded to our new client accounting mailbox. You receive an automatic reply asking you to use our new address for future correspondence. The segment mailboxes will remain active through the end of the calendar year. But we ask you to please use the new Client Accounting address going forward. This information has been published in SodexoNet, (US and Canada), and will be published in the Sodexo e-Bulletin.

Email Subject Line One tip that we would like to pass along, is to help Client Services efficiently review your emails, we ask that you always put the 8-Digit Cost Center number for the location that you’re emailing about in the Subject Line of your email. If you’re message relates to multiple Sub-Units or different Client Cost Centers, you can put one Cost Center number in the Subject and list out in the email the rest of the related Cost Centers. You can also add the Unit Name and/or short text of what the email is about. For example: Christopher College – 12717-001 – Inventory Adjustment This will help us in the distribution of your email, which will in turn, speed up time it takes to get back to you.

Client Services Mailbox for Brands NORAm Client Accounting CLIENTACCOUNTINGBRANDS.NORAM@SODEXO.COM There is one additional Client Services email box/address that I would like to make you aware of, that was set up earlier this year. It is named Noram Client Accounting Brands. This address should only be used for email subjects pertaining to Brands questions/follow-up. An example of the messages that should be sent to this address are ones related to Brand royalties, Brand Set-ups and Franchise agreements. This Brands correspondence should be sent to the following address: CLIENTACCOUNTINGBRANDS.NORAM@SODEXO.COM or Noram Client Accounting Brands when you search in the Outlook Global address book.

Unit Fund Risk Reduction Controller Call November 2018 Anthony Priori – SR MGR Accounting

Unit Fund Risk Reduction NORAM Unit Fund ledger balance $7MM Ensure cash efficiency of unit funds by referencing AF 622-02 Reducing cash is a global trend and not just a Sodexo trend Credit card payments have a growing market share Key benefits for Sodexo teams!

Credit & Collections November 2018 Brad Hamman, DIR Credit & Collections Confidential and proprietary to Sodexo. Do not share or post without proper consent.

DSO moving to Global Calculation DSO is the average number of days that receivables remain outstanding before they are collected. Historically, within North America, we have measured DSO under two separate methodologies: Global: Utilized for all upstream reporting and FY18 AIP calculations. Manually calculated and not available through E=Vision North America: Utilized for all downstream reporting and calculated in SAP. Statistically posted and available via E=Vision The key differences in calculations are as follows: The North America calculation includes a reserve for bad debt, which is excluded from Global calculation Additionally, North America’s calculation includes “Other Operating Receivables,” primarily Notes Receivable, which is also excluded from the Global calculation

Credit & Collections AT-A-GLANCE Why focus on Collections? Monitoring and collecting AR helps to improve the Quality of Life for our operators by identifying and resolving issues timely – plus it just makes good business sense. You work too hard to do it for nothing! You earned it, go get it. Timely AR collections demonstrates responsible oversight for Cash Flow from all levels of management – and is a key measure of Sodexo’s financial effectiveness and success Improve cash flow = Improve Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) Credit & Collections is part of SIMPLIFY – a campaign that highlights initiatives that improve your Quality of Life at work.
