0. Properties - Meeting Date: Not specified - Meeting Type: 1x1 - Note Type: Summary - Attendees: Scott Warner, Angela McMahan 1. Meeting Summary We focused on two major tracks: service and warranty materials, and the AdaptX transition with its legal and data implications. On service and warranty, Angela will send over a draft of standardized service descriptions and a new tool insert card to replace the global card. We agreed to remove Spanish from the insert card to simplify content and because it is not legally required; we will keep English and French for Canada. I will review the warranty language directionally - especially how we classify limited vs comprehensive - and ensure alignment with HQ Legal and Tamara's team. I will also loop Angela into an upcoming legal discussion to frame a three-party product liability agreement among Festool USA, Festool GmbH, and TTS NA LP so she can hear it firsthand and flag any marketing implications. On AdaptX, I am joining the HQ legal stream Thursday to get clarity on viable legal paths for branding and, critically, consumer data retention. My view is we may need a dedicated North America approach separate from the European plan to avoid long-term issues. After Thursday, I will brief our local ELT and work with Matt and Amity on course-correcting if needed. Angela and I will both deliver the internal AdaptX holding statement to our teams tomorrow morning. Operationally, we covered a few governance and logistics items. Trade show booth moves will drive more in-and-outs, so video gear will not move on the truck; the team is leaning toward renting a local space. I asked Amity to help rein in ad hoc spend and approvals here, especially given we are already sunsetting parts of this business and there is talk of unnecessary server purchases. The iLogic Canadian shipping issue is resolved - root cause was a simple character typo - and I thanked the teams for partnering through it. On POS, some materials went out incorrectly due to timing, but Chip jumped on it early and worked with John, Steve, and Chris to fix. Fan Shop testing is progressing with Shawn bridging to Stefan; momentum looks better. Lastly, Jon Buck made a strong first impression and has quickly engaged - a good add for Marketing and a constructive partner for Ops. 2. Attendee List - Scott Warner - Angela McMahan 3.

Relevant Timelines - Tomorrow - Angela and I will read out the AdaptX messaging to our teams; early sessions at 7 AM. - Thursday - Scott to attend HQ legal stream on AdaptX branding and data path; post-call ELT briefing to be scheduled. - Tool insert card and service blurbs - Drafts to be circulated by Angela shortly; legal-language review to follow upon receipt. - Trade show logistics and video equipment - Timing in-flight with multiple booth in-and-outs; approvals and rentals to be clarified ASAP. - Privacy policy touchpoint - To be scheduled after AdaptX legal path becomes clearer. 5. Additional Notes - Travel policy reminder: we cover one flight to Europe and one flight home, and Economy Plus remains standard. We do not cover intra-Europe travel. - AdaptX north star: retain all consumer data. If the only path is one that loses data, we should not proceed on that path. - Jon Buck is proactive and aligned with Shawn - expect him to accelerate several long-stalled items. - POS hiccup was timing-related; Logistics was supportive and responsive. - The iLogic issue underscores the need for basic data validation controls on critical identifiers. A small fix consumed outsized effort. - ELT cadence appears to have a long gap; I may call an interim session to keep momentum on AdaptX and related governance topics.
