13 FOUNDATIONS PRIORITISE AND THEN PRIORITISE AGAIN We ve prioritised all enhancements based on business criticality and technical complexity and are executing on that 1 2 PRIORITISATION CRITERIA 3 PRIORITISED LIST List of 120 enhancem ents 1. Revenue/PAX impact i.e. perceived incremental revenue through the new feature 2. Timing of impact 24 H1 Highest Priority Immediate and highest commercial impact; top of the roadmap i.e. when will we see the impact of the feature, short, medium or long term 3. Regional vs global applicability i.e. is the feature relevant to some markets only or will all regions benefit from it 19 H High Priority High commercial impact; applicable to all regions 4. Dependencies on 3 rd parties At times we are dependent on TTC or other external agencies being ready to deploy 20 M Medium Priority Reasonable and direct commercial impact 5. Dependency on Rails migration Some features must be migrated to Sitecore from Rails by Feb Practicality of implementation 17 L Lower Priority Limited commercial impact 13

14 FOUNDATIONS FOCUS ON EFFICIENCY New enhancement request 1. Regional representative with endorsement from their MD 2. Global teams marketing, web dev, performance, e-commerce, , content, campaigns, ops 3. Wider TTC 4.
