Peakstone also advised the Company on the acquisition of its franchisees and assisted in negotiating and structuring critical contracts and leases associated with the transaction. PepperJax is a rapidly growing fast-casual restaurant offering “America’s Best Philly” and other made-to-order, customizable sandwiches and flavorful entrees. PepperJax currently operates approximately 40 company-owned locations throughout the Midwest. M&A Advisor "It was a gut-wrenching decision to select an M&A Advisor. I had been approached by some potential buyers and wasn’t sure if I needed an M&A Advisor. I ultimately picked Peakstone because of their restaurant expertise and the hustle and thoughtfulness they demonstrated. I had high expectations, and in this deal Peakstone blew them away. They executed on a successful strategy to find the right partner that shares our strategic vision for PepperJax and can help drive continued growth for the business. They were very thoughtful in how they positioned the business to buyers, managed the sale process and negotiated a number of important terms in the transaction. Their expertise, daily commitment, and creativity were essential to getting a great deal done," said Gary Rohwer, Founder of PepperJax. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 2 Food and Beverage Industry M&A Update | October 2016 Peakstone Selected F&B Transactions F&B Information F&B Services Food F&B M&A Advisor M&A Advisor M&A Advisor M&A Advisor Verdesian Life Sciences, LLC F&B F&B F&B Agriculture M&A Advisor M&A Advisor Financial Advisor M&A Advisor 3 Food and Beverage Industry M&A Update | October 2016 U.S. F&B - M&A Market Overview U.S. F&B Industry transaction activity has been strong U.S. F&B Transactions by Buyer Type U.S. F&B Transaction Multiples 400 16.0x 13.4x 350 14.0x 43 12.1x 12.1x 11.9x 11.6x 300 11.0x 26 12.0x 32 250 15 9.7x 34 34 38 25 10.0x 8.3x 200 21 8.1x 8.0x 8.0x 150 18 308 262 240 249 221 214 100 196 200 189 6.0x 144 50 4.0x 2.1x 1.8x 2.0x 1.8x 1.5x 1.2x 1.6x 1.3x 0 2.0x 1.1x 0.7x 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 YTD 0.0x 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Strategic Financial YTD EV / Revenue EV / EBITDA Source: Peakstone & Capital IQ 4 Food and Beverage Industry M&A Update | October 2016 International F&B - M&A Market Overview International F&B Industry transaction activity has been strong International F&B Transactions by Buyer Type International F&B Transaction Multiples 2,000 14.0x 1,800 11.6x 12.0x 11.1x 200 1,600 137 10.0x 9.6x 180 9.0x 1,400 178 10.0x 146 1,200 8.0x 1,000 6.0x 800 1,492 1,528 1,283 1,406 600 1,160 4.0x 400 0.9x 0.9x 0.9x 1.2x 0.9x 200 2.0x - 0.0x 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 YTD 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 YTD Strategic Financial EV / Revenue EV / EBITDA Source: Peakstone & Capital IQ 5 Food and Beverage Industry M&A Update | October 2016 Peakstone Food and Beverage Index - Trading Statistics F&B categories performed well compared to the S&P 500 Relative Stock Performance Food Ingredients: +129% S&P 500: +78% Beverage Production: +77% Food Retail: +58% Food Production: +56% Peakstone F&B Index: (as of September 17, 2016) Food Production: ABF, ARYN, BGS, BIMBO A, BN, BRID, CAG, CALM, CPB, CVGW, DF, FDP, FLO, GIS, GLDC, HAIN, HRL, HSY, JBSS, JBSS3, JJSF, K, KHC, LANC, LNCE, LOTB, MDLZ, MKC, NESN, POST, PPC, SAFM, SAP, SENE.A, SJM, SNAK, THS, TR, TSN, UNA, WN.

  • Corporate Ghg Inventorying and Target Setting Self-Assessment: V1.0
    APPENDIX Corporate GHG Inventorying and Target Setting Self - Assessment : V1.0 Development and Methodology April 2020 APPENDIX: CORPORATE GHG INVENTORYING AND TARGET SETTING SELF-ASSESSMENT: V1.0 Purpose of this Self-Assessment and How it Can Lead to Action Companies are often in a stronger position to improve their greenhouse gas (GHG) management efforts once they understand their relative performance compared to their peers. In response to stakeholder interest, this self-assessment is designed to help companies estimate, at a high level, how their GHG inventorying and target-setting approaches compare to large peer companies representing different industry sectors. Once companies estimate how their key GHG measurement and target-setting efforts compare to their peers, they can evaluate, in greater detail, how other companies approach GHG inventorying and target setting. Helping companies locate their GHG management efforts within the broader market may spur competition, garner internal support for widening the scope of their GHG inventories or setting more aggressive GHG reduction targets, and prioritize resources to implement GHG reduction activities. • Entry-level: For companies beginning to address their GHG emissions, this resource aims to help them identify which inventorying and target-setting actions reflect common business practices today and provide them with a roadmap for developing their own inventories and setting targets. • Intermediate: For companies further along their sustainability journey, this self- assessment can validate more advanced inventorying and target-setting behaviors that position them to deepen GHG emission reductions. • Advanced: For leading companies, this resource can also validate their efforts and encourage them to explore implementing more cutting edge GHG management efforts, eventually pushing such innovations into the mainstream and sharing practices with others.
