NEXIS Market Launch/Phase-out of G300 Series.

• Timetable
• Inventory ramp-up NEXIS Sept. 2007
• Sales start NEXIS Oct. 2007
• Last order G300 series 31 March 2008
• Latest shipment G300 series 30 June 2008

53
Important Principles for Implementation.

• Within Grass
• Existing G300 customers should change over to
  Nexis.
• It is also the goal to win new customers with
  Nexis.
• Existing SO 3000 / TL 4000 customers should be
  retained as long as possible.
• For the replacement of G300 by Nexis, precise
  phase-out management is absolutely essential.
  Grass Höchst is not in a position to accept
  returned goods.
• Competitive prices

54
Important Principles for Implementation.

• Two hinge lines one goal
• With Snap On 3000 and Nexis, Grass will be
  supplying two hinge systems which each have their
  benefits. It will be important to ensure that
  both hinge systems are sold in the short to
  medium term so that we have a perfectly smooth
  changeover to the successor hinge line.

• Snap On 3000
• Greatest amount of material - highest strength
• Integrated shock absorber possible
• Good possibilities for combination with Airmatic
  Pin

• NEXIS
• Unique design
• Cushioning system snaps on without the need for
  tools
• With eccentric high and depth adjustment
• Good price / performance ratio
