Expense management<br />

New Services provides companies with solutions to facilitate the control of employee<br />

business expenses: car fleet management, travel expenses and cleaning of uniforms and business<br />

clothing, etc. Products offered in this segment enable companies to implement effective cost control,<br />

optimize reporting processes and generate cost savings. These products allow the employees to<br />

avoid advancing their own funds to cover expenses.<br />

• Ticket Car ® . Launched in Brazil in 1990, this voucher is used by employees on business<br />

trips to purchase fuel and to finance the maintenance of company vehicles. These<br />

vouchers may be used for utility vehicles as well as cars, at service stations operating<br />

under a variety of brand names, and thereby offer greater flexibility to the users.<br />

Ticket Car ® enables companies to control and manage the maintenance and costs<br />

linked to company vehicle fleets. Companies receive reports on the usage of the<br />

Ticket Car ® allowing them to monitor and optimize their costs using a wide range of<br />

controls (mileage, employee travel, fuel type, maintenance expenses, etc.). Ticket<br />

Car ® is marketed by New Services in card form, mainly in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico,<br />

Argentina and Chile).<br />

• Ticket Clean Way ® . The Ticket Clean Way ® is offered by companies to employees for<br />

the cleaning of their business clothing or uniforms, in the form of a smart card or<br />

paper voucher that can be used through a network of affiliated merchants. New<br />

Services launched Ticket Clean Way ® in France in 1995 and has recently extended this<br />

offer to other European countries.<br />

In 2009, expense management services accounted for 7% of the Group’s issue volume and<br />

7% of pro forma operating revenue.<br />

Incentives and Rewards<br />

New Services’ incentives and rewards product offerings help companies to motivate their<br />

sales forces, mobilize distribution networks, retain customers and strengthen customer relations.<br />

New Services markets gift vouchers in 17 countries for distribution by its corporate customers, either<br />

directly or via works councils, to their employees who use them to purchase products in affiliated<br />

stores. Incentives and rewards strategies are the basic components of relational marketing, which is<br />

geared to optimize relations within the company as well as with customers and distribution networks.<br />

• Ticket Kadéos ® . This line of gift cards and vouchers may be used either in single brand<br />

stores and multi‐brand stores and is designed for its French customers. The Ticket<br />

Kadéos ® line of products can be customized by the customer to maximize the visibility<br />

of its business, offering personalized vouchers featuring the company’s name, the<br />

name of a particular achievement program, or the corporate logo. Ticket Kadéos ®<br />

allows the customer to choose the stores in which the vouchers can be used and the<br />

products that can be purchased by the employee. Options to customize the product<br />

include: customer branding, range of affiliated stores, usable in France or abroad, face<br />

value of vouchers in euros or using a points system, period for exercise, packaging,<br />

capacity for reloading, etc. A card can be created to be used once or on different<br />

occasions and to be used in stores, online or by telephone, according to the merchant.<br />

In France, Ticket Kadéos ® is also marketed to a lesser extent on a B2C (Business to<br />

Consumer) basis.<br />

• Ticket Compliments ® . This line of gift cards and vouchers is provided to companies<br />

and work councils for employees, as well as to public authorities for their benefits<br />

programs. This multi‐brand voucher solution is accepted through an extensive<br />

network of national and local brand name outlets. Products are country‐specific, and<br />

can be used only in the market in which they are issued. Ticket Compliments ® are<br />

accepted in approximately 350,000 affiliated sales outlets worldwide.<br />
