January 2019

Safety Moment (Jill Helms) Client Penalties (Gerard Cuomo) Collections – Best Practices (Brad Hamman, Kendra Mailhot) SoGo Cash Card (Debbie Anderson) Questions

Safety Moment: Distracted Driving

Safety Moment: Distracted Driving DID YOU KNOW Behind the wheel, nothing is more important than focus. A laser focus on what’s ahead, around and behind your vehicle. Stay aware of road and weather conditions, traffic, pedestrians, your speed and your need to be in complete control of your vehicle. Do not take a call, make a call, text, apply makeup, eat, let your eyes or mind wander to other people in your car, or do anything other than focus on your driving. If any of the above things must be done, pull safely off the road and out of the traffic flow to do them. Every day people are killed and injured simply because a driver is distracted.

Safety Moment: Distracted Driving WHAT IS DISTRACTED DRIVING? Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety. These types of distractions include: Texting Using a cell phone or smartphone Eating and drinking Talking to passengers Grooming Reading, including maps Using a navigation system Watching a video Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player

Key Facts and Statistics 2.35 million people in the US are injured or disabled by car crashes every year. More than 330,000 of these crashes that cause severe injury are caused by texting and driving. Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded. At any given daylight moment across America, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has held steady since 2010. Over half of people surveyed admit they respond to a text message once or more every time they drive. As of June 2017, 47 states and the District of Columbia had banned texting while driving. In Alaska, texting and driving can result in a whopping $10,000 fine! #ITCANWAIT https://www.itcanwait.com/pledge

Client Penalties Policy Update January 22, 2019 Gerard Cuomo, Corporate Controller

Client Penalties – Conceptual Illustration Sodexo Provides goods and services to its clients. In exchange for these goods and services, Sodexo receives consideration (cash). Sodexo obtains inputs from Vendors, employees and others in order to produce the goods and services. Revenue Cost Goods and Services Inputs Client Sodexo Vendors Labor Cash Cash Cash When Sodexo delivers consideration to the client, there is a presumption that this exchange is a reduction of the sales price of the goods and services. This presumption is only overcome if Sodexo receives a discrete benefit for the exchanged consideration (e.g., the client is providing an input). Client Penalties are instances where Sodexo delivers consideration to the client where Sodexo receives no distinct benefit.

Based on Service or Service Delivery Definitions Client Penalties: Amounts payable to clients when, in accordance with contractual terms, non-contractual agreement or constructive agreement that establishes specifications, targets and/or thresholds for the services to be provided, our performance of the services fails to achieve those specifications, targets and/or threshold during the period of measurement. Key Components 1: Payable to the Client 2: Based on Service or Service Delivery Non-contractual agreement: An agreement established in a form other than a commercial contract e.g., a side letter, verbal or non-contract written agreement. Constructive Agreement: An agreement established by Sodexo's past practice.

General Examples For illustration purposes. List not all inclusive Client Satisfaction Our contract requires that we survey customers on their opinions of our service quality. If the average survey results fall below an average score of 80, Sodexo must pay the client $25,000. Service Response Time Client representatives submit service requests which Sodexo then logs into its work order management system. The time the work order is submitted and closed is tracked. If the average work order time to closure exceeds 2 hours, Sodexo must pay the client $10,000 per hour the average exceeds the 2 hour threshold. Labor Fill Rate Sodexo charges the client a fixed price for its services. Sodexo is required to maintain a certain level of full time equivalent headcount (FTE) in order to ensure a certain level of service quality and availability. If the level of FTE dips below a threshold, Sodexo must pay $25,000 per FTE below the threshold. Fee Guarantee Sodexo earns a management fee on a facilities management contract. If the total costs of the contract exceed $1,000,000, Sodexo must pay the client 10% of the excess over $1,000,000.

Accounting Policy Client penalties are recognized as a reduction to revenue (a contra-revenue), not an expense. Client penalties should be recognized when incurred i.e., when it is probable and estimable that the penalty will be payable. Past practice has been inconsistent. Client penalties were occasionally recognized as expense. In other words… If current performance indicates that Sodexo will trigger a penalty once that penalty is officially measured (e.g., at the end of a calendar year) and Sodexo can make a reasonable estimate of the value of the penalty, the penalty should be recognized in the current period. It is not necessary for the penalty to be ‘officially’ levied. Client penalties are recorded to Account: 7001.4205 – Rev Contra – Penalties RFM0000 (HFM Account for entities not on SAP)
