Dear Valued Customer,

Previous communication advised that Big Chill would be completing Saturday deliveries to Supermarkets only. Based on the move to Alert Level 2 Big Chill will now resume deliveries to normal delivery points as previously serviced on a Saturday, not just supermarkets.

Due to a continued downturn in overall volumes we will however be maintaining restrictions on a number of areas serviced. The list below are areas that will continue to not be serviced on a Saturday at this time.

Thames / Matamata / Morrinsville / Murupara / Waiuku / Tuakau / Ngatea / Ngaruawahia / Leeston / West Milton / Lyttleton / Alexandra / Stratford / Hawera / Te Aroha / Te Awamutu / Te Kauwhata / Tirau / Otorohanga / Whakatane / Kawerau / Masterton / Pahiatua / Eltham / Wanganui / Inglewood / Huntly / Waitara / Eketahuna / Picton / Wellsford

It is critical that when booking freight for a Saturday delivery that this is clearly communicated on the pickup manifest and that the consignment (Pallet/Carton/Tie) does have a “Saturday Delivery” sticker on it.

We will continue to review the areas above and as freight volumes increase will look to resume normal Saturday services. There is likely to be a staged approach to the regions we introduce for Saturday deliveries and we will ensure that these are clearly communicated to you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay safe.

Dear Valued Customer,

This is to provide you with an update on what actions Big Chill is taking to protect its staff, partners, community and customer supply chains at this time.

In terms of our staff and our community, Big Chill continues to follow NZ Government guidelines on this serious event (refer: www.covid19.govt.nz).

As examples, we have or are taking the following actions:

1. Where possible we have staff working from home. This will be further expanded this week.
2. All business travel and customer visitors (onsite and offsite) has been suspended.
3. Where possible our facilities have been locked down and visitors strictly vetted.
4. No family/friends of employees allowed to enter any sites.
5. Cleaning protocols in our facilities are being intensified.
6. Personal hygiene & safeguard practices are being regularly reinforced with all staff.
7. Big Chill is providing free-of-charge flu vaccinations for all staff.
8. Where possible teams are being split into pods and are working in different parts of buildings.

The above are some of the changes we have made to our business. As this situation develops we will look to take further actions as we protect our staff.

Customers should by now be aware of the NZ Government COVID-19 Alert Level system that was announced on 21^st March 2020. In relation to these we wish to provide an outline how Levels 2 and 3 apply to our customers and what operational changes Big Chill has and/or will make:

LEVEL 2 Big Chill Response effective 23/3/2020:

• Normal services to Supermarkets, Supermarket DC’s, Food Service DC’s (if open) apply Monday to Saturday.
• Saturday services revert to servicing Supermarkets only. Strictly enforced.
• Restaurants/cafes/QSR outlets to be serviced Mon-Fri, only if they are open.
• Big Chill will not commit to achieving pre-existing service levels at this time.
• Customers need to expect delays with pick-ups & deliveries as we contend with a rapidly evolving situation and increased demand.

LEVEL 3 - Big Chill Response:

• Normal services to Supermarkets, Supermarket DC’s, Food Service DC’s (if open) apply Monday to Saturday.
• Saturday deliveries to Supermarkets only. Strictly enforced.
• Deliveries to Service Stations (BP, Z, Caltex, Mobil) Monday to Friday only.
• No deliveries to restaurants/cafes/QSR outlets.
• No returns pick-ups will be actioned.
• Customer drop-offs at depots to continue, but only between 1000-1400hrs Mon-Fri.
• Customer pickups from Big Chill depots suspended.
• Customers should expect disruption to some delivery services as some regions will have reduced delivery frequency.
• We would ask for no ETA queries unless a consignment is delayed by more than 24-hours.
• As we split our 3PL teams, expect up to one-day delay in picking/shipping of 3PL orders.

We would strongly recommend that customers commence their planning around a Level 3 situation (either regionally or nationally) being announced at some point. The above changes will occur with immediate effect as the Alert Level changes.

As we have previously stated, our focus remains on ensuring the temperature controlled supply chains in NZ remain open at this time. We will continue to provide these updates on our preparedness, and any service changes as we respond to the situation.

Thankyou for your patience & understanding.

Yours faithfully

COVID-19 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

Re: Changes to Big Chill Delivery Processes – effective Tues 24^th March 2020

Dear Customer,

The physical nature of our business means that Big Chill drivers cannot isolate themselves. Daily interaction with customers, shippers and receivers is a requirement that cannot be avoided.

As such from Tuesday 24^th March 2020 Big Chill will implement the below protocols in an effort to manage safe separation in the delivery process.

We would ask that shippers and receivers respect that our drivers will endeavour to maintain a 2-metres (or a safe working distance) at all times.

From 24/3/2020, until further advised, Big Chill will not be requiring customers to sign the delivery manifest as is currently required. The following process will be applied as standard:

When making a delivery our driver will ask for the receiver’s name and print this name on the Big Chill manifest in front of the receiver.

This record will act as the legal proof of delivery. The driver will also record the date/time.

If the recipient wishes to have a notation made around the consignment, i.e. for items short, damaged or out of temp, then they can ask the driver to record what message they want on the manifest and the driver will write this down before he leaves the delivery premises. He will show the recipient what has been written on the manifest.

Please work with your delivery driver – there is a need for social distancing, and many of our teams are contending with increased freight deliveries and changes to delivery processes (that are designed to keep you and them safe at this time).

We are continuing to work hard and diligently to do our part in ensuring New Zealand’s vital temperature controlled supply chains remain open during this crisis. We also ask for your continued support in ensuring the above message is communicated across your business to all staff that will engage with our drivers.

If you have any questions around these changes to our delivery protocols, please contact your Big Chill account manager.

Yours faithfully

Michael Roberts

Chief Executive Officer
