3 OUR HISTORY / IT IS THE SANITA LEGACY- SINCE To fully understand our current collections - see where the creative journey began... many, many, many years ago. INTRODUCTION 1791 A number of farms in central Jutland took on a clog maker to make wooden clogs for selling at local markets or to traders. A skilled clog maker was expected to make at least five pairs of clogs a day The shepherd boy Christen Meldgaard Andersen is now 18 years old, and is apprenticed as a slipper maker. During his apprenticeship he learns the craft that becomes the foundation of Sanita s success On 4 February, Christen Meldgaard Andersen opens his shop and workshop on Skolegade in Herning. Riding his bicycle and with two pairs of clogs under his arm, he sets out to visit the general stores in the local area. Sales really take off when he starts travelling by train to visit potential customers in the larger towns nearby Christen s son, Johannes Meldgaard Andersen, starts working at the company and becomes a co-owner seven years later Sanita maintains its position and launches colorful clogs, and that year s big hit wooden-soled boots The flexible SanFlex model is launched and becomes a tremendous success. Clogs are no longer made with only wooden soles Sanita produces more than 1 million pairs of clogs annually, of which just over half are exported. ı THE PRESENT Sanita continues to expand and is constantly looking for fresh distributors. We now cover all corners of footwear: work wear, fashion and comfort. ı 1481 The first written accounts of wooden clogs are found in Denmark. For the next 400 years, wooden clogs are the most widely used type of footwear, especially in central Jutland - close to where the vast number of woodland clogs are produced on an extensive scale Newly made clogs are smoked to harden the clogs and prevent the wood from cracking. It is during this process that the clogs acquire their characteristic red-brown color. Depending on the intended use, clogs are fitted with a metal bracket or a lined leather strap across the instep The wooden clog with leather upper was the most popular model in Denmark Christen Meldgaard Andersen moves the company to larger premises on Mindegade, and sales are steadily increasing Clog production is transferred to an independent company, A/S Sanita Træfodtøj, situated in Herning, Denmark Sanita was turned into a holding company and exports grew Sanita forms a sales company in the US, to have more presence in the US market Sanita is sold to new owners. 40 million Euro in sales and we have distributors in more than 50 countries. HISTORY IS STILL IN THE MAKING-LITERALLY./ >WE ARE TRULY THE ORIGINAL - NO TWO PAIRS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME... / 02

Preserve the integrity of our brand, while embracing your role in carrying on our tradition and innovation for both practical design and fashion footwear. / Become an ambassador and conveyor of our historic contribution to the world. / Denmark has for generations been a clog nation for several reasons. Despite its modest size, Denmark has for centuries been a farming country of wide open spaces, high skies and thousands of workers feet having to make their way across fields and wheel tracks. And where there were no fields, vast expanses of land were covered in woodland, deciduous woods in particular. And these very circumstances were seen as an obvious opportunity by our thrifty, visionary and skilled forefathers. They made a virtue out of necessity and used the available materials to make a primitive kind of footwear: a hollowed-out piece of wood to wear on your feet. Over the centuries, this ingenious invention was further developed, improved, and refined into what we today know as clogs. / We are innovators of fresh ideas and a quality lifestyle. / Sue Anita everyone s darling.

8 SANITA CORPORATE LOGO & ICON / PRIMARY COLOURS PHOTO ESSENCE 4.3 SANITA PRIMARY COLORS Consistency in colors when used to represent the Sanita brand is essential in creating the desired look and appeal of the company. Repetition of the core brand colors promotes brand awareness and trust in the overall stability and consistency of Sanita s identity, both internally and externally. Pantone Matching System (PMS) PMS is a popular color matching system used by the printing industry to print spot colors. Most applications that support color printing allow you to specify colors by indicating the Pantone name or number. This assures that you get the right color when the file is printed, even though the color may not look right when displayed on your monitor. PMS works well for spot colors but not for process colors, which are generally specified using the CMYK color model. ADDITIONAL NOTE TO USERS. Seasonal colors will be chosen as a way of featuring new season collections. CMKY - Color mode used for print items RGB - Color mode for monitor and LCD screens PANTONE BLACK C CMYK Breakdown RGB Breakdown SS11 Sanita Clogs images Gradient Range Available for Use. 0% % PANTONE 186 C - Mainly used as an accent color - This color refelects the Danish Flag s PMS CMYK Breakdown RGB Breakdown SANITA PHOTO ESSENCE SAMPLE CONTACT SHEET The general photo essence in capturing the brand image of Sanita is in the serenity and security of being fashionably comfortable. Strolling through the outdoors, relaxing with friends, trekking to work and being front and center on the urban scene - these all create a confident mood and mind-set while wearing our Sanita product line. The lifestyle images capture the diversity of the product demographics, but consistently express the balanced state of mind that a clog wearer finds in the soles of our shoes. We style our seasonal photos with this innovative and original spirit in mind. / / 12
