new manager, page-2

Hi stratnew

Thanks for faxing us a copy of this blog post, however, we cannot identify your name or email from the transmitted copy - so we tracked you down here (and hope you don't mind us replying).

I'm sorry that we don't currently offer a privileged discount to shareholders. Similar to the majority of larger retailers and other organisations, we choose to offer discounts and other benefits to a wider group of customers, via our Summit Club membership programme. Quite the contrary to it being "a funny way of doing business", it is the accepted norm in most sectors globally now, whether purchasing from a supermarket, an airline, a car rental company, or even a cafe.

Based on your comments (and private profile), I cannot determine whether you reside in AU or NZ, however, further information on our scheme's benefits can be found on our website at http://www.kathmandu.co.nz/summit-club. You can also reach us from here, using our contact form, or alternatively, from our investor centre here http://www.kathmanduholdings.com/contact/.

I hope this information helps, however, if you require any further assistance, please contact us via the above links.

Regards

Ian
