TRANSCRIPT
March 30, 2018 Dear Members of the Nominating Committee: I am looking forward to our Nominating Committee during the NACS State of the Industry Summit and working with you to populate the board with qualified and diversified candidates. In the April meeting, we will select new, eager suppliers for the NACS Supplier Board. Along with deciding who the new members will be, we will have some challenges as you decide who moves up, who doesn’t and who, unfortunately, will rotate off. Decision One We promote Dave Riser to the chair. I would hope that is obvious, but we still need to vote him up. Decision Two Vice chairs in their 2nd (last term) are Tim Quinn and Drew Mize. Tim recently announced his retirement from Mars Wrigley (May 2018). With this information, we should consider promoting Drew to chair-elect. The other Vice Chair is Rick Brindle, who will be finishing just his first term and can remain Vice Chair for another year. Decision Three We currently have 21 of our allowed 25 supplier seats open (due to retirements or role changes). We like to have 1 or 2 seats open to give the supplier board flexibility to adjust and add a major CPG company or manpower if we are struggling on an initiative. We should also have two available Vice Chair seats, unless we promoted Rick which would give us three openings. The 2015 class that will term off in October 2018 are Brent Cotten and Frank Squilla. Both are very strong contributors that will hopefully find their way up to Vice Chair. Decision Four There are a lot of variables depending on how the leadership positions are populated, but we should be filling up to 6 board positions. Again, I encourage us to keep 1 or 2 open. We have several critical and tough decisions to make at the upcoming nominating committee meeting next month. Please review the enclosed application materials and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions at 703-518-4270. Thank you again for all that you do for NACS!

Antitrust Statement and Summary This text was prepared by R. Timothy Columbus, Esquire, with Collier Shannon Scott, PLLC, legal counsel to the National Association of Convenience Stores. Introduction The purpose of this document is to assist the staff and Board of Directors of the National Association of Convenience Stores in understanding how the federal antitrust and trade regulation laws apply to NACS. It is the policy of NACS to comply fully with the antitrust laws. This document has been prepared to remind NACS staff, Board members, and any other individuals who have occasion to conduct programs sponsored by NACS of the Association’s commitment to antitrust compliance and to provide general guidelines for conducting NACS meetings in a manner that minimizes antitrust risks. This is not intended to make you an antitrust law expert, but to point out the danger areas of antitrust as well as situations that may require you to seek advice from NACS legal counsel. The antitrust laws seek to preserve a free competitive economy in the United States and in commerce with foreign nations. The penalties for violating the antitrust laws are severe; engaging in anticompetitive activities exposes NACS members, their companies, and employees to criminal prosecution, as well as government and private civil suits for treble damages. Trade associations must be particularly concerned with the antitrust laws because a trade association inevitably brings competitors together for meetings and other activities. When competitors meet or work together through a trade association, there may be opportunities to reach unlawful agreements. It would be wrong, however, to conclude that all trade association activities carry antitrust risks. To the contrary, when properly conducted, trade association activities play a valuable role in promoting free and open competition within industries and present very few antitrust problems. It is not possible to provide a complete list of antitrust rules that would cover every situation that you, as a NACS member or employee, might encounter. You should bear in mind, however, that the antitrust laws are concerned not with preventing discussions and meetings among competitors, but with agreements that unreasonably restrict competition among competitors. Thus, while there are no “bad” words, the mere mention of which violates the antitrust laws, there are topics and situations that potentially may lead to illegal agreements or may appear to do so. Responsibility for Antitrust Compliance Although NACS carefully designs and reviews its programs to ensure their conformity with antitrust standards, each NACS member is individually responsible for complying with both the letter and spirit of the antitrust laws. NACS staff is expected to intervene in situations where it may be necessary to remind members to use their good judgment to avoid discussions or activities that give even the appearance of involving impermissible subjects or improper procedures. Since anticompetitive agreements may be inferred from circumstantial evidence, NACS staff must see to it that discussions at NACS meetings and functions do not stray into subjects that may have troublesome implications. Basic Antitrust Principles One of the most important antitrust laws relating to NACS activities is Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which prohibits “contracts, combinations, or conspiracies... in restraint of trade.” Section 2 of the Act prohibits monopolization, attempts to monopolize, and conspiracies to monopolize and is, therefore, less relevant to trade association activities. Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits competitors from restraining competition among themselves by agreeing to take common action regarding, for example, the price, production, or distribution of their products. Price-fixing agreements are always illegal. Any agreement among competitors to raise, lower, or stabilize prices is unlawful even if the price agreed upon is reasonable or beneficial to consumers and even if the agreement is never put into effect. Unlawful pricing agreements may be inferred from circumstantial evidence, such as an exchange of price lists between competitors. This does not mean, however, that the word “price” may never be spoken at NACS meetings. For example, a presentation by an outside speaker on how economic trends might affect members’ prices would not in itself raise any antitrust risk. It would not, of course, be appropriate for the members to discuss a joint price-related response to what may be perceived as a common problem. Because many price-related topics can be of value to NACS, and present no antitrust risks if presented properly, NACS legal counsel should be consulted whenever the members are interested in discussing such topics so that proper limits for the presentation may be established in advance. It is only the express or implied agreement among competitors restricting their freedom to establish prices that is prohibited. The Sherman Act also prohibits agreements among competitors to harm, through trade boycotts or similar means, the competitive capabilities of their suppliers, customers, or other competitors. Trade associations are also subject to Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Under Section 5, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may challenge actions or commercial practices that, although perhaps not rising to the level of an antitrust violation, are deemed “unfair methods of competition” or “deceptive acts or practices.” Thus, FTC may challenge not only agreements that restrain competition, but also such practices as false advertising.
NACS Meeting Guidelines Because the existence of unlawful agreements may be inferred from circumstantial evidence, the following topics carry antitrust risks and must be avoided at NACS meetings, seminars, and other functions:
• Members’ current or future prices or components thereof, including discounts, rebates, and credit terms; • The possibility or desirability of members’ limiting their sales of any product in any geographic area; • Allocation or division of customers or territories among competing retailers; • Reasons why NACS members should refuse to deal with a particular supplier or customer; • Whether the pricing or distribution practices of a competitor are “unethical” or constitute an unfair trade practice; • Efforts to influence suppliers’ prices; • What constitutes a “fair” profit margin; • Price lists or procedures for coordinating price changes.
Conflicts of Interest Statement A statement of policy regarding conflicts of interest with respect to members of the Board of Directors and committees, staff, counsel, and other providers. Background NACS’ mission is to represent the industry and to assist retail members in increasing their current and future effectiveness and profitability. Thus, the central interest upon which NACS’ efforts are focused is that of retail convenience store operators as a class. Promoting this interest is the means by which the channel of distribution is most likely to be benefited. NACS has sought, and obtained, the participation of many entities that are active at multiple levels of distribution within the channel of trade that comprises the industry. Moreover, NACS seeks the services of vendors and professionals whose clientele may include more than just retail convenience store operators. The availability of input from diverse points of view is of enormous value to NACS. However, on occasion, an individual’s obligation to advance interests not in concert with the interests of retail convenience store operators as a class, or NACS, may arise. The policy delineated below sets forth NACS’ expectations of members of the Board of Directors, NACS’ committees and task forces, the Supplier Board and its committees, staff, counsel, and all other providers of services to NACS. By accepting the opportunity for service in any of these capacities, an individual agrees to fulfill NACS’ expectations and behave in a manner that comports with this policy. Policy By accepting the opportunity to serve NACS as a member of its Board of Directors or Supplier Board, a NACS committee or task force, staff, counsel or other provider of services, an individual acknowledges that the central interest upon which NACS’ efforts are focused is that of retail convenience store operators as a class. Under any circumstances in which an individual, serving in the previously described capacities is:
1. Obliged, by employment, investment, or other duty, to protect or promote an interest other than the interests of retail convenience store operators, as a class or NACS, and
2. Involved in the development of a position or policy to be advocated by NACS, then, that individual shall: a. Promptly disclose his or her actual or potential conflict of interest, and b. Recuse himself or herself from voting or other action which can result in the formulation of that policy or position.
Upon the disclosure of an actual or potential conflict, the other members of the Board, committee or task force shall determine whether that individual may participate in any relevant exchange of views relating to the issue that gives rise to that conflict.
Principles of Engagement The lessons learned from debate several years ago led NACS to institutionalize policies to determine how NACS addresses contentious issues. Since the Association represents the convenience and petroleum retailing industry and not any sub-set of the industry, the Board agreed that NACS’ decisions will continue to be driven by the input from all members, and that it is also important to have principles in place to guide decisions. The “Principles of Engagement” on divisive or contentious issues like “below cost” are: NACS will abstain from taking a position on an issue where its members are on both sides of the issue and one that would
“rip the association apart,” For state-specific issues in general, NACS:
• Will not provide funding for any state issues • Will take no position on any state issue where members are significantly divided • Will be a neutral resource • Will work with state associations on mutual business opportunities
Travel Expenses The Board of Directors meets during the Congress of Committees, SOI Summit and the NACS Show. NACS’ policy does not reimburse travel expenses for the latter two meetings, as it is assumed that Board members would travel to these programs in their normal course of business. All other committee travel, including Board orientations and the Congress of Committees, are reimbursed by NACS at coach class fares. Financial Strategy One of the strategic objectives of NACS is to maintain “financial independence,” defined in three ways:
1. The Association can withstand a significant financial setback or disaster that befalls the industry for sufficient time to regroup.
2. There is no single organization that provides so much funding that NACS cannot afford to lose that customer. 3. The Association will maintain net current assets plus fifty percent of the debt-free value of the building at a level
equal to one year’s operating expenses.
Acceptance By accepting below, you are, without limitation or qualification, attesting to your current and ongoing compliance with the above policies of NACS.

NACS Supplier Board Nomination Process
NACS believes that the success of our organization depends upon robust and dynamic engagement by the supplier community. At the core of such engagement is an active supplier board. We also believe in the importance of a nominating process that is transparent and well known to all stakeholders.
The supplier board nominating committee is comprised of the following ten (10) individuals:
• The past supplier board chairman who just rotated off the supplier executive committee • The three past supplier board chairmen currently on the supplier executive committee • The current supplier board chairman • The current supplier board chair-elect • The three past retail board chairmen currently on the retailer nominating committee • The current retail board chairman
While there are few bylaw restrictions on who can serve on the supplier board, the nominating committee relies upon some well-developed guidelines to present slates of new board members and officers each year. The principles embedded in the guidelines include:
• The board should have diverse representation across the various categories sold or used in convenience stores; • The board should have adequate representation of firms that provide on-going and substantial financial support of the association; • The board should have diversity with respect to the size of firms; • The officers of the board should have firm size diversity; and • All individuals serving on the board and the firms they represent must be actively engaged.
Supplier board members can serve up to four 1-year terms and may serve additional terms if they become officers. Officers can serve up to 7 years (Vice Chair -2yrs, elect – 1yr, chair – 1 yr, Past Chair – 3 yrs). The three most immediate past supplier board chairmen and three retailers from the retail board also serve on the supplier board. The supplier nominating committee meets in April and new members and officers are elected at the Retail Board of Directors meeting in October.

What contributions have you made to the convenience industry (include NACS activities or other industry activities)?
Describe your NACS committee experience (include years served, positions held, projects worked on)? In 2017, I served on the Membership committee, and for 2018 I serve on both the Convention Content Committee and on the Research Committee. At the Convention Content Committee meeting, I was on the group that targeted mid-size retailers, working to create a handful of modules that will be a part of the 2018 NACS show. As part of the Membership committee in 2017, I welcomed new members into the organization and called a few prior to the show. As part of the Research Committee, I have brought provocation and insights into the discussion on driving traffic and foodservice sales in a way that bolsters the materials that Dae and Leroy produce.

I have been a member of the manpower committee for four years serving as the head of theeducation committee for the past two years. I have also served as a Day Chairperson at theNACS Show for the past three years.
With in Royal Cup I have been able to move us from a southeast regional supplier to theconvenience channel to one who now works with convenience stores across the country. Also,previous to my taking over the division Royal Cup did not participate at the NACS show. We havenow participated in the past 6 shows and have increased our booth size as well. Royal Cup isalso now attending a variety of industry shows, conventions and seminars such as SOI and HotDispensed Beverage. All of these activities have raised the level of awareness and importanceof the C-store channel within Royal Cup Coffee. Because of our increased activity within thechannel I believe we have been able to bring our industry knowledge and insight to a wide varietyof retailers and have helped them to grow their business.

To Whom it may concern: I am writing to you to endorse Tommy Lee from Gonnella Baking company as a member of the NACS Supplier Board. I have known Tommy for many years, and his work to better the convenience channel has been superior. Tommy led the way for innovation on the roller grill by being the first vendor to provide an individually wrapped hot dog bun. Although this may seem insignificant as the industry has matured and there are multiple suppliers in the market, at the time it was introduced Gonnella was the first provider of a product that revolutionized the roller grill area. They fulfilled a need for the industry to offer a product that was needed for many retailers to function safely in the foodservice environment. Tommy was relentless in his passion for the product and need for it in our industry which has led to the product being in many stores throughout the US. In addition to this product, Tommy has worked to understand the needs of foodservice in convenience and develop other items which fulfill the needs of our consumers. I have worked with him on projects for our commissary, which included innovative product development on carriers for unique sandwiches for our industry. In each instance Tommy has shown a passion for the business and a willingness to assist in an effort to find items that best fit our channel. I recommend Tommy for the NACS supplier board for the passion, integrity, and innovation he brings to the convenience industry. Sincerely,
Sharon Kuncl Eby-Brown Co LLC VP Foodservice

Dear Supplier Board Representatives:
I am writing to recommend John Thomas to the NACS Supplier Board. John, while at Anheuser-Busch, Inc., managed my account while I was with bp/ampm.

I have known John now for over 12 years and have come to know him as one of my friends both personally and professedly in the Convenience industry. Of course, we discuss business opportunities, but frequently conversation’s start on how our children and families are doing.
John has been involved with the industry and NACS for over 20 years and has served on the NACS Supplier Sub-Committee John would be an excellent addition to the Supplier Board as he is knowledgeable of our industry, professional and most of all would be dedicated in working hard and doing the right things to build on NACS success and improve our industry. I’ve been working in the Convenience industry for over 30 years, I count John as one of the best I’ve worked with and I’m proud to indorse him for the Supplier Board.

NACS Supplier Board Nominating Committee
RE: John J. Thomas, iSee Store innovations, LLC.
Dear Committee:
I would like to take this opportunity to write a recommendation for John Thomas to join the NACS Supplier Board.
I have known John for more than 16 years and have always thought highly of him. When I first met John he was the Chevron account representative for Anheuser-Busch, Inc. John always took the time to truly understand our business and brought the insight and resources to help Chevron grow. John and I remained friends after he was moved off of our account.
In my opinion, John is dedicated, smart and objective and has a tremendous understanding of the convenience Industry. John remains very active in the industry as I see him at a variety of industry events (including NACS Show) and other competitive industry gatherings.
John has a genuine character and is highly regarded in both the beer business and the convenience industry and I strongly believe he would be a great addition to the NACS Supplier Board.
I’m sure you have several candidates for this Board and I would not hesitate to put John on top of your list.
If you have addition questions, don’t hesitate to contact me at (925) 842-0761 or email me at [email protected]
