Strategic Alternatives: Six strategies have been considered before determining the optimal path Beekeeper should take Page 7 + Good × Bad STRATEGY Profitability Scalability Strategic Fit Customer Fit Feasibility TOTAL Proportional Scaling of Staff × + Outsourcing of Engineering Acquisition of Competitor Vertical Integration Geographic Streamlining Restructuring 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Problem Recommendation Analysis Alternatives Implementation Financials Contingencies Conclusion

Implementation (1/3): Vertical Integration Strategy Page 8 1 What Focus on hospitality, airports, mass rapid transit (MRT), event organizations and NGOs for increased focus 2 Why You play to your strengths in security and customization while focusing on poorly served verticals 3 How Allow current contracts for other verticals to expire and then, transfer customers into standardized options Develop a standard applications for NGOs, e.g. working with EcoFiltro in Guatemala as a testimonial case Make the pricing model of the standard application user-based (e.g. USD10 per month) Continue to offer customized solutions for hospitality and airport clients with focus on security and GDPR compliance Identify launch customers for MRTs (e.g. SMRT in Singapore) Customized-solution pricing model: Hosting/customization fee followed by yearly maintenance fees 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Problem Recommendation Analysis Alternatives Implementation Financials Contingencies Conclusion

Implementation (2/3): Geographic Streamlining Page 9 1 What Streamline operations geographically with offices in Winterthur, San Francisco and Singapore 2 Why To reduce costs and have sufficient space for expansion plans and cater to all major geographical markets 3 How Identify a suitable location in Winterthur (Switzerland) for establishing a new European HQ and shift the London and Berlin offices for cost reduction reasons Maintain the HQ in Zurich until the Winterthur office is established and up and running Set up an office in Singapore with a core mass rapid transit team for serving test customers Have a sales team for standardized applications in Singapore for event organizations and NGOs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Problem Recommendation Analysis Alternatives Implementation Financials Contingencies Conclusion

Implementation (3/3): Restructuring Program Page 10 1 What Restructure the organization into two customer-centric solution providers by focusing on key verticals 2 Why To customize a solution for each vertical, communication between engineers and sales staff is key 3 How Share the restructuring plans transparently and timely with all employees and arrange small meetings with employees to clarify concerns Set-up an incentive program for a team-based performance approach Reduce the amount of HQ “generalists” and introduce a team of engineers, security and sales staff that specialize in a vertical Organize a team of entry-level sales staff to cater to NGOs and event organizations Organize a team of experienced engineers and sales staff to cater the customized solutions segment, e.g. hospitality and airports Create a communication channel to share customer success stories based on key verticals to educate the teams and for marketing usage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Problem Recommendation Analysis Alternatives Implementation Financials Contingencies Conclusion

Contingency Plan: The anticipated risks underlying the suggested strategies need to be overcome to manage the risk adequately Page 15 Anticipated Risks Contingency 1. Loss of clients from old verticals 2. Poor take-up rate by NGOs and event organizations 3. Loss of staff due to relocation 4. Lack of test customers for MRTs 5. Decrease in motivation of employees due to restructuring 1. Increase the attractiveness of the standardized application (e.g. price incentives) 2. Prepare a strong success story case, e.g. EcoFiltro in Guatemala and Formula1 in Singapore 3. Provide relocation packages and support while adopting a phased approach 4. Approach multiple MRTs simultaneously, e.g. Hong Kong MTR 5. Use success stories to reduce resistance 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Problem Recommendation Analysis Alternatives Implementation Financials Contingencies Conclusion
