Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich Bacon Swiss Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich Introduction As previously announced, on 5/19, we will be introducing the Big Chicken Fillet Sandwiches at both Hardee s and Carl s J. Following successful testing at both brands, we plan on promoting as, The Biggest Chicken Fillet Sandwich in QSR for Less Cash. It promises to be a highly incremental sales building event, given the currently low ADQs on the Hand-breaded Chicken Tender Sandwiches which it will replace. It is a pre-cooked product that comes in frozen similar to our old Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich. In addition to the Big Chicken Fillet, we will also be offering the Bacon Swiss version of this sandwich.

Introduction Hand-Scooped Shakes to replace Side Salad on Menuboard Some Midwest DMA s Recently we determined through a menu mix optimization study that Side Salad ADQs were similar in restaurants whether the Side Salad was pictured on the menuboard or on a listing line only. Therefore, we have decided this menuboard real estate would better serve overall sales if we replaced the Side Salad image with a Hand-Scooped Shakes image. Any restaurant who currently has Side Salad pictured in their combo line-up will receive replacement translites featuring Hand-Scooped Shakes in their POP kits arriving on 5/14. These translites are being funded by HNAF. Char Cod Year Round For DMA s that changed their Char Cod Year Round status, new listing panels will be shipped to those units to reflect the recent vote. If you did not make any changes, no POP will be included. If you have questions regarding your DMA, please contact your Field Marketing Manager. 6
