3 BUSINESS, KNOW-HOW KORUS Business The design and commercial architecture of stores are complementary, inseparable elements in the achievement of optimum economic performance for a sales outlet.

And more generally working throughout the life cycle of professional areas. It is with this global view of commercial space and its 4 centres of complementary skills Consultancy & Design, Building & Renovation, Maintenance and Furniture & Fittings that KORUS has made an efficient contribution, over more than 20 years, to the sales performance of networked sales outlets. 3

7 HISTORY The KORUS story From the integration of ATMs... ( ) After working for 15 years in the building sector, Charles Marcolin (our current President) founded KORUS, a company specialising in the integration of automatic telling machines in bank branches. Attentive to the market and in the search for innovation, KORUS offered its clients original ATM installation methods, which were quicker and less expensive..to fittings for banks. ( ) On the strength of his success Charles Marcolin decided to extend the services offered by KORUS to include the interior layout and fittings of banks. This was how the project creation activity began: KORUS worked on projects as General building company, General Contractor or Project Manager. At the same time KORUS set up in Italy, creating its first foreign subsidiary (Spain followed in 2010). and then working with the complete life cycle of commercial spaces (2003 to date). Things have accelerated since 2003 To meet its clients requirements as closely as possible (whether clients in the banking sector or, now, in retailing), KORUS decided to extend its offer by associating with design firms. KORUS can now offer its clients the design aspect that was missing. At the same time the activity offering Maintenance Management of commercial spaces was developing.. KORUS became the sole interlocutor for retail chains and brand names offering all the maintenance services they require for their premises. With the aim of reducing overall maintenance costs by investing in preventive work, KORUS enables retail chains to control the lifespan of their sales outlets over the long term. Recently, and in order to create ever more efficient projects, KORUS has created the KORUS MOBILIER (furniture and fittings) entity, to meet the need for small and medium series that are standardised but adaptable to all types of premises. KORUS thus brings specific solutions that reflect the image of the retail chains and brand names we work with, meeting all their requirements. It is with its unique organisation, known as [CRM]²: Consultancy & Design, Building & Renovation, Maintenance and Furniture & Fittings, that KORUS has become in just a few years a benchmark in partnering European networked retail chains and brand names in their sales outlet layout projects. Since the KORUS offer is either general or made to measure, each individual retail chain and brand name can find the answer to its requirements. " At Korus we talk of values before business Charles Marcolin Founder President of Korus " 7

9 RECENT PROJECTS Important recent projects CREDIT AGRICOLE DES SAVOIE The Crédit Agricole des Savoie asked the Korus Group to design and build its branch in Annecy (retail bank and private bank). The 580 m² of the premises were created in less than 3 months. The project s originality lies in the solutions found by KORUS to meet the expectations detailed in Crédit Agricole s specifications, the aim of which was to encourage the consultant/client proximity specific to this bank, by integrating the new technologies of the Technolab (space dedicated to the technological innovations applied to bankinsurance). Crédit Agricole des Savoie PHILDAR Korus designers have created a new concept for the Phildar stores. The retail chain wanted to modernise its look whilst retaining its brand identity. Korus therefore offered detailed zoning between clothing, knitting wool, accessories and haberdashery items, all within a home atmosphere. Korus also worked on the furniture and fittings, intended to focus on the variety of Phildar products. The 1st pilot site opened in Strasbourg last September. A new knitting wool world to be discovered, along with the new 100% knitwear ready to wear collection. Stores in Toulouse, Créteil and Marseille have benefited from a lighter change to their surroundings, also created by Korus. Phildar Strasbourg 9

15 PATENTS KORUS, the search for efficiency Always seeking to innovate and answer client concerns, the KORUS group has registered patents, the principles of which have been used throughout Europe. These inventions have made the everyday lives of bank staff, service providers and customers easier, by offering ever greater efficiency and performance. 1994: The telescopic kiosk (patent n ) Shelter or kiosk, specifically for dispensing cash. An ideal solution for small areas. A small metal kiosk (requires 1.3m² floor space for customer use and 2.6m² for management operations). The principle is a manual or automated telescopic system. This allows for supply and maintenance by sliding the machine forwards, allowing the manager free access to the safe through a side door. Just prior to telescoping, a cover momentarily prevents user access to the machine. The manager can then proceed safely (internal lock) with counting and maintenance tasks. 15

16 PATENTS KORUS, the search for performance 2001: The AK C GAB (patent n ) Cash dispenser kiosk A solution that meets the security requirements of managers and cash transporters, in existing branches fitted with an ATM on the street, in front of which a truck can park. The machine is integrated into the branch s facade, in a door. The system allows, through a remote control, rear telescoping of the ATM to enable the cash transporter to enter a secure technical area in order to transfer the cash out of sight of the general public. The same remote control allows the transporter, once back in his vehicle, to move the machine forward to return it to its operational position. Another solution: SUBLIMEO Highly resistant decorative solution The Subliméo solution consists of applying a digital image, photo or drawing to a metallic base. Subliméo s intrinsic properties meet the communication and image demands of brand names in both indoor and outdoor environments. Benefits include shock resistance, resistance to corrosion, the image cannot become unstuck, decoration takes place in the factory, UV-resistance, Graffiti-resistance (validated by the RATP), Fire-resistance classification M1, lightweight, easy to change. 16
